The two had originally planned to meet tomorrow, but something happened overseas and he had to go there to deal with it.
However, he had originally promised her...
Mu Xiaocheng frowned. What Ji Huaishen just said... that he couldn't accompany you to see your grandfather?
Was it because I spoke too fast or something? That's why I forgot to say "you"?
It should be "I can't accompany you to see your grandfather".
Well, Ji Huaishen must have spoken too fast, so he missed a word.
Immediately, Mu Xiaocheng smiled nonchalantly and waved her hand dismissively: "It's okay, you go ahead and do your thing, we'll schedule a time when you're free."
Ji Huaishen nodded: "We'll go when I get back."
His voice was pleasant and magnetic, and he stared intently into her eyes as if making an important promise.
Seeing how serious he was, Mu Xiaocheng nodded emphatically.
"Then let's talk about it when you get back."
Her expression was very obedient, and her voice was soft and sweet, making her very endearing.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she raised her hand and handed the small gift bag to Ji Huaishen.
Ji Huaishen subconsciously raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat surprised.
"It's Christmas Eve, so I'm giving you a peace apple. I hope you'll be safe and sound from now on, and that we..."
She originally wanted to say that our cooperation went smoothly, but then felt that saying that would be too jarring.
He could only say something else: "We got along well."
Ji Huaishen took the small gift bag she handed him, lowered his eyes, and looked at the simply packaged apple inside. A smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
His hand holding the gift bag trembled slightly; he knew it was something called surprise at work.
He had received many gifts, none of which were as precious as this.
But none of them were gifts from her.
This was the first time she had given him something, and although it was just an apple, it was enough.
Anything she gives you is priceless, invaluable.
Mu Xiaocheng saw that he accepted the peace apple without saying anything, and assumed that he didn't like it. After all, this thing was too childish, and a big shot like Ji Huaishen would definitely find it super childish.
"If you don't like it..."
"I really like it, thank you." Ji Huaishen interrupted her urgently; he really liked it.
This is the first time I've felt so happy after receiving a gift.
Mu Xiaocheng nodded, seemingly believing but not quite. As long as he liked it, that was fine.
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes again, looking at the thing in his hand. Something seemed to be leaping in his deep eyes, and his heart was also filled with a warm current.
The deep frost is melting little by little.
—
When Shang Qi picked up Ji Huaishen, Ji Huaishen had already taken Mu Xiaocheng home.
Shang Qi noticed that her husband was carrying a small gift bag, which he was protecting like a treasure. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Shang Qi couldn't help but take a second look at the thing.
What is this round thing wrapped in paper? It looks like an apple.
Could it be a gift from Miss Mu?
Shang Qi glanced furtively at Ji Huaishen sitting in the back seat and saw that Ji Huaishen was holding that thing and staring at it intently.
Those dark eyes were filled with tenderness.
He's a complete pervert.
Shang Qi sighed silently and said in his usual formulaic manner, "Sir, the organization just sent word that those two people are in Lu Beicheng's hands."
Upon hearing this, Ji Huaishen's expression hardened. He carefully put the peace apple back into the bag and said softly, "Call Lu Beicheng and tell him to make sure that those two people's lives are spared for me."
