Chapter 5
In order to treat Lin Su to dinner, Mu Qian decided to take the place to Huazui, the most high-end private club in Tongcheng.
"Flower Drunkenness" deserves its name. Even in a time like April when all the beauty in the world is exhausted, the clubhouse garden is still in full bloom.
Mu Qian wore a dark green short skirt that pinched the waist and walked on ten-centimeter stilettos, looking like the most beautiful flower among all the famous flowers.
As soon as the waiter took her onto a Chinese-style corridor, Mu Qian's phone rang.
The winding corridor is shaded by thin bamboos and is very quiet. There are no people along the way. Under the corridor is a deep blue lake with the moon in the sky reflected in the lake. It is the ultimate scenery.
Across the phone, Lin Su's clear voice blended seamlessly into the scene in front of her.
"Sorry." He said, "I have something urgent that needs to be handled at the company. I'm afraid I'm going to miss my appointment tonight."
"That's it..." Mu Qian slowed down, sighed, and raised her eyes to look ahead.
By the lake, a slender and tall figure stood leaning on the railing, lowering his head to light a cigarette.
It was a guest who walked out of a certain private room. He was wearing a simple white shirt without a coat. When he raised his hands, a silver cufflink on the cuff shone with a cool luster. The lighter made a "ding" sound, revealing the clear joints.
Her hands were clean and slender. As the fireworks flickered, they reflected the deep eyes under the dark eyebrows.
The waves of the lake are rippling, and the spring wind carries the moisture of the night and blows on my face, making it slightly cold.
In fact, she has never been afraid of the cold. For a woman who loves beauty, this wind in the spring night is insignificant. But for a moment, Mu Qian only felt the chill entering her body. The moment her blood stagnated, her whole body was cold. She couldn't help but tremble.
Cold.
It took her a while to come back to her senses and slowly said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Anyway, I'm inviting you tonight. If you don't come, then you owe me a meal."
Lin Su smiled lowly on the other end of the phone, "Okay."
Mu Qian hung up the phone, stopped and looked at the waiter in front of her, "My friend is not coming, please help me cancel the reservation."
After saying this, Mu Qian was about to leave, but when she turned around, someone walked towards her and started laughing when she saw her.
"Isn't this Miss Mu?" Shen Xingqi looked at her with a surprised smile, "I was just thinking about when we could see each other again, but I didn't expect that we met here. We are really destined."
As she spoke, Shen Xingqi came forward and said, "Since we have met, why don't we have a meal together?"
Mu Qian just looked at him without smiling.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xingqi raised his eyebrows slightly, put his hand on Mu Qian's shoulder, and lifted up a strand of her hair, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Mu Qian met his provocative gaze, raised her head to take back her hair, and said in a soft and ambiguous voice, "Then it depends on whether Second Young Master Shen has such a big appetite."
Shen Xingqi laughed loudly, put a hand on Mu Qian's waist and turned forward.
After walking a few steps, Shen Xingqi saw a man leaning on the railing smoking a cigarette. He paused and walked a few steps quickly, "Mr. Huo, why are you out here?"
Mu Qian stood beside him and looked at the man as well.
Huo Jinxi held a cigarette between his fingers, but he still had a cold and solemn posture. His white clothes and black trousers reflected the melting moonlight behind him, as if he had been cut off from time and there was no trace of warmth.
It seemed that after seeing Shen Xingqi clearly, he finally curled up his lips, but his smile was extremely lazy and perfunctory, and his eyes still had a look of alienation, "There are many people inside, come out and get some air."
After saying that, Huo Jinxi's eyes fell on Mu Qian's face again, her expression calm and unruffled.
Mu Qian met his gaze and skillfully raised a smile.
"This is Miss Mu Qian." Shen Xingqi looked at Mu Qian and raised his eyebrows, "A friend I just met."
Mu Qian nodded slightly, "Hello, Mr. Huo."
Huo Jinxi's eyes stayed on Mu Qian's face, seemingly looking at it lightly, but he didn't leave for a long time.
When Shen Xingqi saw this, he secretly thought that Mu Qian was the evil monster in the water.
Lin Su, a newly wealthy man in Tongcheng, was said to be deeply in love with his wife who died unexpectedly. Four years after his wife passed away, there was no other woman beside him. Last night, Mu Qian took his arm and got into his car.
Huo Jinxi, the son of an aristocratic family, was the sole helmsman of the Huo family. He was cold and ascetic, not close to women, and there were even rumors about his sexual orientation. However, at this moment, the way he looked at Mu Qian looked like a broken back?
Shen Xingqi couldn't help but curse in his heart.
The Huo family is a powerful family, and the Huo family is the leader of enterprises in Tongcheng. The Shen family is a rising star and has always been interested in making friends with the Huo family. However, Huo Jinxi is aloof and aloof and does not give face. I don't know what the wind is blowing today, but he actually invited this person.
Shen Xingqi naturally did not dare to offend the great Buddha.
Even if he was unwilling to do so, if Huo Jinxi really fell in love with Mu Qian, how could he dare to say anything more?
"Mr. Huo?" Shen Xingqi called him when he saw this, "Shall we go in and sit down to talk?"
Huo Jinxi finally looked away, nodded, turned and walked to the box at the back.
He walked past Mu Qian. Mu Qian raised her eyes and saw his neat hair and a small black mole behind his ear.
She has grown taller, but in the past, all she could see was his flat shoulders.
After coming back to her senses, Mu Qian realized what she was thinking and couldn't help but chuckled in her heart.
Shen Xingqi led her into the box, but this time he did not dare to reach out to support Mu Qian's waist.
There were more than a dozen people in the large box, which was very lively. Huo Jinxi was the host and guest, sitting in the middle seat. On the left was Shen's eldest son Shen Muchen, and the right was still empty.
Shen Xingqi directly led Mu Qian to Huo Jinxi and called her in a familiar tone, "Qianqian, please sit here."
Most of the people present here are from the Shen family. They all attended the engagement ceremony between Shen Yan and Ji Suifeng. They were naturally deeply impressed by Mu Qian. Everyone was a little surprised for a while. Even Shen Muchen frowned slightly and looked at it solemnly.
With Mu Qian.
Mu Qian, however, did not give him any face. He glanced at Shen Xingqi, picked an empty seat and sat down, raised her face and looked at him, "Since you invited me to dinner, of course I have to sit next to you. It doesn't matter if you push me to someone else.
What do you mean? I’m not a social butterfly! Even if I am, I’m not raised by your family!”
The words were neither loud nor quiet, but everyone present could hear them, and everyone felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Shen Xingqi hurriedly looked at Huo Jinxi's face, but saw that he seemed not to have heard anything. He didn't even look over here, but tilted his head slightly, listening to Shen Muchen's words nonchalantly.
Shen Xingqi then sat down next to Mu Qian, leaned into her ear, and said through gritted teeth: "You are really a monster!"
"Are you afraid?" Mu Qian leaned back on the chair, "If you're afraid, just drive me away. I don't have to eat this meal."
