Chapter 112
The morning light filtered through the gauze curtains, casting tiny specks of gold on the bedroom floor.
Mu Qingxuan slowly opened her eyes, and in her hazy vision, the enlarged handsome face of Huo Changfeng was the first thing that caught her eye.
She rubbed her eyes and only saw clearly after she was fully awake.
There were red veins under his eyes, and a faint dark blue tint at the corners of his eyes.
Her hair, which was usually neatly combed, was now messy and sticking up in a few strands, as if she hadn't slept all night.
But despite his listless appearance, Huo Changfeng was extremely excited and stared at Mu Qingxuan with excited eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qingxuan pursed her lips and tried hard to suppress her smile.
She tilted her head and looked at Huo Changfeng, muttering to herself.
If we didn't know that he was at home last night, people who didn't know would think that he had won the lottery and that's why he was so excited.
Just as she finished her words, the next second, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace by a strong force.
Huo Changfeng's arms were like iron clamps, tightly wrapped around her waist, his chin resting heavily on the top of her head, his breathing hot and rapid.
"Xuanxuan, our child can move!"
His voice trembled with uncontrollable excitement.
Mu Qingxuan's brain suddenly shut down, and her chaotic thoughts after just waking up had not yet been completely sorted out.
She blinked, her eyelashes casting fine shadows under her eyes, and it took her a while to realize the meaning of these words.
Huo Changfeng hugged her too tightly, and she could hardly breathe. She could only reach out and gently pat his shoulders: "Loosen... loosen up a little..."
When they finally breathed some fresh air, Mu Qingxuan glared at him with a red face and a soft voice: "You mean, our baby will move?"
Huo Changfeng nodded excitedly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
"I was watching over you last night, just staring at your stomach... and suddenly I felt a slight movement inside."
"Our child kicked my palm several times!"
As he spoke, he buried his face in the crook of her neck again, greedily absorbing the faint body fragrance from her.
Huo Changfeng was so excited that he didn't sleep the whole night.
Their eyes slowly moved down and landed on Mu Qingxuan's slightly bulging belly.
They held their breath, their eyes focused and expectant.
But as time passed, the room became so quiet that only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard, but there was still no movement in the stomach.
Mu Qingxuan burst out laughing and reached out to gently rub Huo Changfeng's eyebrows, with gentle tenderness and care at her fingertips.
"Maybe the child is tired and is resting. You didn't sleep all night. It's the weekend today, so you should get some more sleep."
Huo Changfeng refused to let go. Instead, he hugged her tighter and turned over to press her under him.
His warm breath sprayed on her ears, and his voice was low and hoarse, with a bewitching meaning.
"You sleep with me."
After that, he pecked her lips again: "I can't sleep without holding you."
Mu Qingxuan's cheeks instantly turned red, and she looked ripe.
She punched his chest lightly, but did not really resist. Instead, she snuggled into his arms, found a comfortable position, and took a nap.
The two of them didn't get up until noon.
When she came to the living room, Cui Lirong looked at the two of them meaningfully.
Mu Qingxuan guessed that Cui Lirong might have misunderstood her thoughts, her face turned red, and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to start.
Huo Changfeng's attitude was very relaxed and there was nothing unusual about it.
At the dinner table, Huo Changfeng mentioned: "National Day is next week, and the Institute and Capital University are both on holiday."
"Xuanxuan, why don't we take this opportunity to go and fetch grandma."
Mu Qingxuan was stunned.
I didn't expect Huo Changfeng still remembered this.
She nodded: "Okay."
After having a good cry last night, the huge rock pressing on Mu Qingxuan's heart seemed to have disappeared.
She has come to terms with it now.
So what if grandpa and grandma are not her blood relatives, they are still her closest relatives in the world.
It was precisely because she learned the truth that Mu Qingxuan's slight obsession with Mu Dashan, Sun Qiumei and Mu Qianqian completely dissipated.
When she was young, Mu Qingxuan was mentally immature and was always sad that Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei did not love her.
But now, she will no longer have any psychological fluctuations because of them.
Mu Qingxuan put down her chopsticks and said, "I will tell Officer Lu about the drugging and ask him to continue investigating. The real murderer is not Sun Qiumei."
She lowered her eyes gently.
Huo Changfeng understood something and subconsciously looked at Huo Jianye.
The father and son looked at each other and immediately understood what the other was thinking.
Mu Qianqian disguised herself as Sun Qiumei and went to the black market to buy drugs. The police station was short of manpower and could not investigate the truth.
But if military forces intervene, things will be different.
Huo Jianye said calmly: "I have several soldiers under my command, and they haven't had a vacation for a long time."
: "It's just right. Let's take this opportunity to give them three days off so they can have a good rest."
It was said to be a vacation, but in fact it was an opportunity to investigate the black market.
Mu Qingxuan also realized what Huo Jianye meant.
She looked up gratefully: "Thank you, Dad."
Cui Lirong immediately said: "It's okay, this is what he should do."
After lunch, Huo Changfeng took Mu Qingxuan to do a prenatal check-up. After confirming that the baby was fine, he felt at ease and took advantage of the afternoon's free time to visit some attractions in the capital that he had never been to.
Three days later, it will be National Day.
Huo Changfeng and Mu Qingxuan boarded the train together.
In order to take care of Mu Qingxuan's health, Huo Changfeng purchased the highest-class train ticket and had a separate small room. Although it was not big, it was much better than having to squeeze in with others with ordinary train tickets.
Ten hours later, the two finally arrived at Lotus Village.
Mu Qingxuan looked at the village which had not changed much, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
The branches of the old locust tree at the entrance of the village still stretched obliquely towards the blue sky. Under the tree, several women were gathered next to a stone mill making shoe soles. There were still unwashed mud spots between the stitches on the soles.
"Is this the eldest girl from the Mu family?"
Aunt Wang, who was the first to react, stood up abruptly, and the bamboo stool made a harsh sound as it scraped against the bluestone slabs.
"Why did you come back so suddenly? Didn't the whole Mu family go to the capital to enjoy a peaceful life?"
Aunt Wang leaned her head to look behind Mu Qingxuan, but didn't see the car she imagined, so she knew that Mu Qingxuan came back by train.
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Married to the capital, but ended up like this, it's so unpresentable.
Before Mu Qingxuan could speak, Zhao Quezi, who was squatting at the foot of the wall smoking a pipe, spat and slammed the pipe heavily on the stone steps.
"Maybe she was having an affair outside and was kicked out by her husband's family, so she brought her adulterer back to the village!"
The corners of his crooked mouth pulled into a malicious smile.
The temperature of Huo Changfeng's whole body dropped suddenly, his back straightened, and his bony fingers clenched into fists.
He glanced at those gloating faces, and the anger rising in his chest almost broke through his rationality.
But just as he took a step, he suddenly felt a gentle yet firm force on his wrist.
Mu Qingxuan said, "Then you guessed right. He is indeed my adulterer."
