Chapter 288: Demons and Monsters
"Book the Sky Garden, transport the flowers over, and have them arrange them before six in the evening."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
"When will the ring arrive?"
"Tomorrow morning, I'll deliver it to your office."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, a hint of tenderness flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of his lips. Tomorrow he would give Chi Muzhen a grand proposal. She would also have what other women had.
In the evening, Chi Muzhen and Xu Ye went to practice with Chen Ning.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they finished their meal. After sending Chen Ning downstairs to the hotel, Chi Muzhen hugged her with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Senior Sister, we're separated this time and I don't know when we'll meet again."
There was reluctance in Chen Ning's eyes, but he still smiled and touched her head and said, "There will always be a chance."
Chi Muzhen nodded, her eyes red. "I will definitely go to Country D to visit you when I have time."
"Well, you're welcome anytime."
Xu Ye said from the side: "And me, I heard that Country D has the most beautiful women, but my senior sister has never introduced any to me."
Chen Ning glanced at him unhappily and said, "Alright, with your brain, you won't be able to walk when you meet a beautiful woman. You won't even know that you've been fooled around by her."
Chi Muzhen on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xu Ye glared at her, "What are you laughing at?"
Chi Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you really want me to say it?"
Seeing her smirk, Xu Ye immediately had a bad feeling and quickly said, "Okay, today is for you to practice with me, so let's not talk about those nonsense."
"Well, Senior Sister, you are alone abroad, so you must take good care of yourself."
Chen Ning's face was full of confidence, "Don't worry, I've practiced it!"
After saying that, several people thought of the incident where Chen Ning got drunk and beat up a robber, and the robber ran to the police station to reason with the police, and they all burst into laughter.
After laughing, a look of melancholy appeared on their faces.
Those happy times can never be returned.
Chen Ning felt a little overwhelmed by this sad atmosphere and quickly said, "You guys should go back quickly. It's getting late. You don't have to see me off tomorrow. I'm leaving early and I have to meet an old friend. I've already booked a car."
"Okay, have a safe trip, Senior Sister."
Chen Ning nodded, turned and walked into the hotel.
Chi Muzhen and Xu Ye didn't look away until her back disappeared.
"Junior sister, I'll take you back."
"Um."
On the way back to the Imperial Court, both of them were silent. Parting always makes people sad.
The car stopped at the gate of the imperial court, and Chi Muzhen opened the door and got out.
"Brother, tell me when you get there."
Xu Ye waved his hand, stepped on the accelerator and left.
Chi Muzhen turned around and was about to walk towards the villa when she saw Huo Yunting standing not far behind her.
"Why didn't you call me to pick you up?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and whispered, "Senior brother said he would send me off, but he didn't notify you."
Huo Yunting frowned unconsciously when she realized that Chi Muzhen's attitude towards her was a little strange. Just as she was about to speak, she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm a little tired today. I'm going in to rest first."
After saying that, she didn't even look at him and walked quickly towards the villa.
When passing by Huo Yunting, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you? I feel like you've been a little cold towards me today. Did I do something to make you angry?"
Chi Muzhen lowered her head, her voice calm and without any fluctuation, "No, I'm really just a little tired."
After a moment of silence, Huo Yunting slowly let go of her hand.
Chi Muzhen didn't say anything and walked quickly into the villa.
Returning to the bedroom, she took a shower and went to bed. Although she was very tired, she couldn't fall asleep.
What Shi Xingguo said in the hospital during the day came to her mind again. If the person who saved her was really Shi Yiheng, she didn't know how to face him in the future, nor did she know what would happen to her and Huo Yunting.
He hardly slept that night. When he woke up in the morning, Chi Muzhen's eyes were dark and he looked listless.
When she finished washing up and went downstairs, Huo Yunting had already prepared breakfast.
"Zhenzhen, have breakfast before going to work."
Chi Muzhen walked to the dining table and sat down. She glanced at Huo Yunting and felt that something was different about him today.
But she didn't ask too much. Now she just wanted to find out as soon as possible whether the person who rescued her from the fire was Shi Yiheng.
After finishing breakfast in silence, when they were about to leave, Huo Yunting suddenly pulled her aside and said, "Zhenzhen, have you forgotten something?"
Seeing him pointing at her face, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, stood on tiptoe and kissed his face.
As she stepped back, Huo Yunting grabbed her waist and pressed down with his tall figure.
After the kiss, Chi Muzhen was a little out of breath.
Huo Yunting's deep and hoarse voice sounded above him, "I'll have Ke Ning pick you up for dinner tonight. I have something important to tell you."
Hearing the seriousness in his tone, Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and she nodded and said, "Okay."
The moment he finished speaking, Huo Yunting let go of her.
"You go to work."
"good."
After Chi Muzhen left, Huo Yunting cleaned up the table before going to work.
As soon as I went out, I received a call from Koning.
"Mr. Huo, it seems that the Shi family has started to target the Huo family again. This morning, they snatched away a major cooperation project from the Huo family."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold, "Notify all shareholders to hold a meeting at 9:00 am!"
Shi Xingguo has been testing his bottom line again and again, and it's time for him to fight back.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Chi Xuan went directly to Huo's to find Huo Yunting.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to tell Huo Yunting that Huo Tianyi was hiding with her. After all, Huo Tianyi had a fickle personality, and keeping him by her side was like burying a time bomb for herself. If she gave Huo Tianyi away, Huo Yunting might even look at her with a higher regard.
Arriving downstairs at Huo's building, she called Ke Ning.
Knowing that she wanted to see Huo Yunting, Ke Ning frowned and said, "Ms. Chi, Mr. Huo is in a meeting now and has no time to see you."
Chi Xuan's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and a surge of anger surged in her heart.
When Huo Yunting liked her before, Ke Ning's attitude was completely different from now. She was a snob and looked down on others. After she got rid of Huo Tianyi and Chi Muzhen, she would ask Huo Yunting to fire him first!
Taking a deep breath, Chi Xuan slowly said, "You guys are looking for Huo Tianyi now, right? I have news about him. Are you sure Yun Ting doesn't want to see me?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Koning's voice sounded again.
"I'll come down to pick you up."
After taking Chi Xuan to the top floor, Ke Ning did not let her go to Huo Yunting's office, but took her to the meeting room.
"Miss Chi, please rest here for a while. I'll come and inform you after Mr. Huo's meeting is over."
Chi Xuan suppressed her anger and was about to ask him to pour her a glass of water when a staff member from the purchasing department hurried into the reception room.
"Brother Ning, something happened in the purchasing department. Mr. Huo is not here right now. You should go check it out!"
Ke Ning's expression changed, and without caring about Chi Xuan, he turned around and quickly left with the staff.
When Chi Xuan was the only one left in the reception room, she curled her lips into a sneer, stood up and walked directly towards Huo Yunting's office.
Every time she came to see Huo Yunting before, she would wait for him directly in the office, and this time would be no exception!
After entering the office, Chi Xuan went straight to the sofa.
As soon as she sat down, her gaze suddenly stopped.
On the table in front of him, there was a velvet box containing a ring.
Chi Xuan's heart sank. She bit her lower lip, picked up the box and opened it. A heart-shaped diamond ring appeared in front of her. It was extremely beautiful under the light.
When she was with Huo Yunting, Huo Yunting gave her a lot of jewelry, but only a ring once.
He proposed to her that time, wanting her to marry him and not go abroad, but she refused.
And this diamond ring is definitely not prepared for her.
He wants to propose to Chi Muzhen!
Thinking of this possibility, the jealousy that surged in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
She was about to pick up the ring when a cold voice sounded behind her.
"What are you doing?!"
