Chapter 388
…
"Yeah. It's so late and you haven't rested yet?" Huo Qi responded softly, then hugged the person tightly in his arms.
"I felt thirsty while sleeping. There's no water in the room, so I came downstairs to drink some water." Mu Jiao rubbed her head in Huo Qi's arms. The familiar cool fragrance of a man was still there, but there was a hint of gunpowder around him. It was so fragrant and even had a hint of blood...
Mu Jiao sniffed it. As a medical student, she was sensitive to the smell of human blood and immediately became worried.
"Brother Qi, are you hurt?" Mu Jiao quickly withdrew from the man's arms and groped around Huo Qi with her little hands.
Huo Qi's eyes darkened slightly. He grabbed the girl's rebellious hand, ruffled her hair with his big hand, and explained in a gentle voice:
"Of course not. Someone accidentally got slightly injured during training just now. I was there so I got some of the infection. Don't worry, I'm fine."
After hearing Huo Qi's words, Mu Jiao finally felt relieved and smiled again. However, she didn't notice the slightly twitching expressions of several of her subordinates behind her.
Training? Minor injuries? His Highness was a real con man. Of course, he wasn't injured, so the dead were someone else. A certain battleground was still drenched in blood, and it hadn't been cleaned up yet.
"Your Highness, it's almost time for us to set off."
At this moment, a depressing remark was heard in the lobby. The person who spoke was Xikai E Peizhen, who had not been seen for a long time.
After hearing this, Mu Jiao came out of her surprise. She had just been paying attention to Brother Qi, and now she realized that there were several other people in the lobby.
Mu Jiao felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that the other people present looked anxious, she knew that Huo Qi had something to do and could not be delayed. She was a little reluctant but still sensibly let go of her hand that was around Huo Qi's arm.
"Brother Qi, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'm going to rest first."
"Ah~" Mu Jiao screamed, and just as she took a step, she was pulled back by Huo Qi. The next second when she opened her eyes, she was picked up by the man.
"No rush, there's still time. I'll take you upstairs to rest before I leave."
Huo Qi's voice was warm and sounded softly in Mu Jiao's ears, with a hint of warmth lingering in it.
"We'll be leaving in ten minutes."
Huo Qi said something, leaving everyone standing there in a daze, and then he disappeared into the lobby with the person in his arms.
From the lobby to the bedroom, the light faded into darkness. Meng Meng, who was at the foot of the bed, was startled awake. She whimpered a few times as if to express her dissatisfaction at being woken, but a look from the man frightened her and she slipped away.
Huo Qi carefully placed the person in his arms on the bed, but did not get up. Instead, he moved closer.
Their bodies were pressed together, their faces so close that Huo Qi could even see the fine hairs on Jiaoren's face and smell her faint fragrance.
The atmosphere became scorching, and I didn't know whose breathing became disordered first. Words were superfluous at this moment, and their lips slowly pressed together...
Mu Jiao trembled slightly as she accepted the man's love, her eyelashes unconsciously becoming damp...
He was in a daze, not knowing how long it had been. Only when he realized that the person in his arms was almost out of breath did Huo Qi reluctantly move away a little. His beautiful lips turned to peck Mu Jiao's cheek, nose tip, smooth jaw, slender milky white neck, and delicate collarbone...
Huo Qi and Mu Jiao were enjoying each other's company upstairs, unaware that things were already going on downstairs. The people who had come with them tonight were the ones responsible for Xing Yu. These people were the sharpest knives in Huo Qi's hand, specializing in handling matters that required bloodshed but could not be seen in public, besides fighting.
