Chapter 125: Panic
Huo Yunting turned and looked at her, "What are you going to do about this matter?"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Just like last time, pretend nothing happened."
Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this. He stared into her eyes and said, "Chi Muzhen, I am a businessman. I never do business at a loss. Besides, I helped you both times."
"What do you want?"
Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Huo Yunting said indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to take responsibility, but I think we are a good match, so I want to maintain this relationship with you for a long time."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"How about just sex, no romance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Muzhen said coldly: "Sorry, I refuse!"
"Why?"
Thinking of the words Chi Xuan had sent him before, Chi Muzhen sneered, "Mr. Huo, if you have any needs, Chi Xuan should be happy to help."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold and he looked at Chi Muzhen with an icy expression.
"I'm not interested in anyone else, and we're happy together, aren't we?"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "We're already divorced. Shouldn't you be planning to marry Chi Xuan next?"
"I will not marry her, nor will I be with her."
Such words of assurance made Chi Muzhen frown even more tightly.
"Let me think about it."
To be honest, Huo Yunting's skills are very good, and Chi Muzhen doesn't feel that she is at a disadvantage by sleeping with him.
If it were someone else, she might have agreed now, but they had been married before, and she didn't want to be entangled with each other again because of this matter.
As if he could see through her concerns, Huo Yunting said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't use this as an excuse to remarry you. If you find another man you like, or if you want to be with another woman, we can end this relationship at any time. I won't ask anything of you."
"Are you really not going to be with Chi Xuan anymore?"
Huo Yunting frowned and said coldly: "I told you, we have never been together since she returned to China."
Chi Muzhen didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay, I can agree, on the condition that you can't interfere if I date other men in the future."
Although the two are divorced now, if Huo Yunting really wants to pester her, it will be a very troublesome thing for her. It is better to use this incident to make him take a step back. If she really doesn't plan to sleep with him in the future, can he still force herself?
Huo Yunting's eyes deepened, "Okay."
After reaching an agreement, Chi Muzhen stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Please."
Chi Muzhen took her phone and left.
As soon as I walked out of the lounge, I saw several missed calls on my phone, all from staff members of the design competition.
She called back, and as soon as the call was connected, she heard the anxious voice of the other party.
"Ms. Elia, where have you been?! Everyone on the internet is talking about your sudden disappearance! When will you be back?!"
A hint of doubt flashed across Chi Muzhen's eyes, and he said, "I'll be back right away."
After hanging up the phone, she opened Weibo and the first trending search was #Elia is missing#. She clicked on it and found out that she had suddenly stopped evaluating the design draft, so everyone on the Internet was discussing where she had gone.
She quit Weibo, quickly returned to the judging room, apologized to the staff, and went back to her room to continue looking at the design draft.
On the other side, Huo Yunting's lounge.
After Chi Muzhen left, he sat on the sofa, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of wine, his eyes deep.
Suddenly, the cell phone beside me rang.
"Boss Huo, all traces have been cleared."
"Well, bring Chi Xuan to see me."
Chi Xuan finished her design and just walked out of the competition venue when Ke Ning walked up to her and said, "Ms. Chi, Mr. Huo wants to see you."
"Brother Yun Ting is here today?!"
Surprise and disbelief flashed in her eyes. It seemed that although Huo Yunting spoke coldly, he still liked her, otherwise he would not have come to watch her game.
Chi Xuan suppressed her excitement all the way to the lounge. The moment she saw Huo Yunting, she couldn't help but say happily, "Brother Yunting, my design draft scored very high today. I will definitely be able to enter the next competition!"
Huo Yunting did not answer her and asked Ke Ning to leave with a cold expression.
At this time, Chi Xuan also noticed that something was wrong with Huo Yunting, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
"Brother Yunting, what's wrong with you?"
When there were only two people left in the box, Huo Yunting looked at her and said, "Sit down."
As soon as Chi Xuan sat down across from him, Huo Yunting picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "I didn't have time to congratulate you on passing the preliminary round."
Hearing this, Chi Xuan quickly picked up another glass of wine, with a shy smile on her face.
"Thank you, Brother Yunting."
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly as she drank the wine in the glass, without a trace of warmth on his face.
"By the way, Brother Yunting, did you come here specially to watch my game today?"
Huo Yunting shook the red wine in his glass and said indifferently, "No."
Chi Xuan's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip and said, "Then come here..."
"I came to see Chi Muzhen."
"Why?!"
Chi Xuan stood up abruptly and looked at Huo Yunting angrily, "How am I inferior to you?! Why have you been so cold to me since I returned home?! Brother Yunting, are you still mad at me?!"
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "It seems that I was too kind to you before, so you have this illusion."
"What's the meaning?"
Chi Xuan's eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion, and she looked at Huo Yunting with hurt eyes.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong with her body, like...
"What did you do to me?!"
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes, his face as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. Just looking at him made people feel a chill from the soles of their feet.
"Whatever you did to Chi Muzhen, I will do to you."
Chi Xuan's eyes suddenly widened, and she fell weakly on the sofa.
"Brother Yunting, you...what are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Huo Yunting stood up with an indifferent expression, "You'll understand later."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Chi Xuan quickly stood up and grabbed his sleeve.
"No! Brother Yunting, you can't do this to me!"
Huo Yunting waved her hand away and spoke slowly, "Chi Xuan, I gave you a chance. If you've done something wrong, you must have the courage to bear the consequences."
As soon as he finished speaking, Koning came in with a man.
The moment she saw the man, Chi Xuan seemed to understand something and backed away while trembling.
"No! I don't want it! If you treat me like this, the Chi family will never let you go! And have you forgotten what you promised me before?"
"I will continue to do what I promised you, but you must pay back what you owe Chi Muzhen!"
Under Chi Xuan's desperate gaze, Huo Yunting took Ke Ning away.
As I walked out of the venue, I suddenly heard a "bang" behind me, followed by several screams.
“Someone jumped from the building!”
Ke Ning looked back and his expression suddenly changed, "Mr. Huo, it's Miss Chi!"
Without even turning his head, Huo Yunting said coldly, "Call an ambulance for her."
On the way back to the company, Ke Ning was still in shock. He didn't expect that Huo Yunting was really good to Chi Xuan when he was nice to her, but once he became heartless, even if Chi Xuan really died in front of him, he probably wouldn't be moved at all.
However... he could have stopped Chi Xuan from drugging Chi Muzhen, but he just watched the situation develop quietly and finally helped Chi Muzhen.
If Chi Muzhen knew the truth, she would probably be furious.
After Chi Xuan was sent to the hospital, Xu Rou and Chi Zhen arrived quickly.
Seeing Chi Xuan's foot in a cast, Xu Rou's eyes were filled with worry and distress. "Xuan Xuan, what happened?! Why did you suddenly jump down from the building?!"
When Xu Rou heard the news that Chi Xuan had jumped off the building, she was terrified.
Fortunately, it was only on the second floor, and Chi Xuan was not injured anywhere except for a broken left leg.
Chi Xuan looked aggrieved and cried, "Mom...it was my sister who hurt me!"
