Chapter 89
After Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei left, Huo Changfeng casually pressed the number button and dialed the principal of Capital High School.
"Director Huo! What a rare guest!"
The principal's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, but it couldn't hide the cautiousness in the ending tone.
Huo Changfeng leaned against the back of the leather chair, his slender fingers tapping the sandalwood tabletop from time to time, making a regular sound: "Comrade Principal, I called here this time because I was asked to do so."
There was a slight inhalation sound from the receiver. The principal straightened his back and adjusted his glasses. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The principal is very sensible.
A faint arc appeared at the corner of Huo Changfeng's mouth, and the light reflected in his eyes, reflecting cold light and shadow.
"Comrade Shi Feihua from the Education Bureau has a younger brother who wants to apply to study at your school."
He pronounced the three words "Shi Feihua" clearly, and the other end of the phone fell silent instantly.
The principal's hand holding the receiver tightened slightly, and his mind was quickly calculating the network of relationships.
He originally thought that Huo Changfeng had a relative who wanted to use the back door, but he didn't expect it was Shi Feihua's younger brother.
But Shi Feihua is Huo Changfeng's cousin, and this is no secret in the circle.
Logically speaking, Shi Feihua's brother is also very close to Huo Changfeng, so why go through so much trouble?
He licked his dry lips and spoke carefully: "So he is Section Chief Shi's younger brother..."
"Comrade Principal, as you know, the higher-ups have been conducting strict inspections recently."
Huo Changfeng continued speaking, his voice becoming increasingly cold, and the tip of his pen left long, thin ink marks on the document.
"Comrade Shi Feihua didn't dare to contact me personally, so he asked me to pass on the message."
He paused, stood up and walked to the French window, looking at the receding backs of Mu Dashan and his wife downstairs, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
"Don't worry, he knows the seriousness of the matter and has specifically instructed us to follow the proper procedures. We will take the entrance test as required, and if the results are not satisfactory, then we will not be admitted. There is no need to save face for him."
Before he finished speaking, he chuckled meaningfully.
The principal's palms were sweaty as he held the phone, and he nodded subconsciously.
But after hanging up the phone, the principal became more and more puzzled.
He understood from what Huo Changfeng said that the younger brother named Mu Dongjie was a relative of Shi Feihua.
Huo Changfeng is just a messenger.
The matter of admission has nothing to do with Huo Changfeng.
But Huo Changfeng's words seemed to reveal that he didn't want Mu Dongjie to enroll.
The principal was suddenly in a dilemma as to how to deal with this situation.
Huo Changfeng hung up the phone and tapped the table with his fingertips unconsciously.
Then, he made another call: "...help me keep an eye on these two people..."
"Yes, if they have any abnormalities, they must contact me immediately."
Huo Changfeng hung up the phone, his eyes darkened.
If he were to be honest, he didn't care at all whether Mu Dashan and Sun Qiumei would spread the news that he would have no descendants.
But he was worried that those two black-hearted people would spread rumors that were unfavorable to Mu Qingxuan.
If this damaged Mu Qingxuan's reputation, that would be the most heinous act of those two people.
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Huo Changfeng's eyes.
After he calmed down, he smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes and walked out of the study.
When she pushed open the bedroom door, the warm yellow wall lamp cast Mu Qingxuan's figure in a halo of light.
She curled up in bed, the lace edge of her knitted nightgown drooping on the beige blanket, the medical book in her hands open, densely covered with annotations illuminated by the desk lamp.
Hearing the noise, she raised her head, her hair brushing against her soft earlobe, and worry still lingered in her almond-shaped eyes.
"Did they give you a hard time?"
Huo Changfeng loosened the buttons on his collar, and the black tie hung loosely around his neck.
He sat down next to Mu Qingxuan, and the mattress sank slightly, bringing with it a cool scent of cedar.
"No, they came for Mu Dongjie."
He held her cold hand, rubbing his thumb over the thin calluses on her knuckles.
"I want him to go to Experimental High School or Capital High School."
Mu Qingxuan sneered, and her eyelashes cast long shadows under her eyes.
She casually threw the medical book on the bedside table, and the metal bookmark slid to the ground with a light sound: "Sure enough."
"I didn't expect that they would even target Experimental High School and Capital High School. Their greed is truly unbridled."
As she turned around, the silk straps of her nightgown slipped off her shoulders.
Mu Qingxuan asked back: "Did you agree?"
Her fingertips unconsciously tugged at the hem of his shirt, and her tone was tinged with anxiety.
"fool."
Huo Changfeng flicked her brows lightly with his fingers, then tucked her scattered hair behind her ears.
As he leaned closer, his warm breath swept across her red earlobe: "I called the principal in the name of Shi Feihua and asked him to follow the rules. If you are not qualified, you will not be admitted."
His voice was low and cunning.
Mu Qingxuan widened her eyes and slightly parted her red lips.
The warm light made her cheeks rosy, like a peach ripened by the wind.
"You are too shady."
At that time, even if something happened to Mu Dongjie, he could only find trouble with Shi Feihua.
It has nothing to do with him, Huo Changfeng.
She bit her lower lip, but the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably: "But I like it."
Mu Qianqian treated them so shady, Huo Changfeng was just giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Before she finished her words, she suddenly reached her hand under the hem of his shirt, her fingertips brushed across his tight abdominal muscles, and her palm felt his suddenly tense muscle lines.
Mu Qingxuan felt the comfortable touch and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
Huo Changfeng groaned and grabbed her wrist with his backhand.
His Adam's apple rolled, dark tides welled up in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse as if it was wrapped in sandpaper: "Are you making trouble again?"
Mu Qingxuan blinked innocently, then turned around and got back to business: "Mom told you to pick up grandma."
She twisted her body and moved closer to him, the scent of wormwood in her hair mixed with the scent of cedar on his body.
"But are you able to handle your latest project?"
Huo Changfeng held her in his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head.
The moonlight from outside the window shone through the gauze curtains, casting a layer of silver on her shoulders.
“It’s already finishing.”
"Once the project is finished, I will ask the director for leave and go pick up grandma in person."
He tightened his arms, feeling her soft body: "Don't follow me, the journey is long and your body is precious now, you can't stand the fatigue."
Mu Qingxuan's fingers gently drew circles on his back. Listening to his strong heartbeat, her nose suddenly felt sour.
She raised her head, with tiny glimmers of light still condensed on her eyelashes: "Thank you, husband."
After saying that, she raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips.
Huo Changfeng's eyes suddenly became deep, and he took the initiative to deepen the kiss.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and only the overlapping breathing sounds of the two people became clearer in the silent night.
