The word "Liangqing" was easy to say, but after Mu Qian finished saying it, he had a high fever that lasted all night.

Huo Jinxi directly called the doctor and stayed in the apartment all night, and he himself stayed up all night.

In the early morning, Qi Yuan came to take Huo Jinxi to the company, and happened to meet Laura who was delivering breakfast. After asking about the situation, he found out the situation, and couldn't help but feel sad - although Mu Qian was taken care of by the doctor and Laura all night,

But Huo Jinxi stayed up all night, who dares to say it wasn't because of her?

When Qi Yuan walked into the apartment, Huo Jinxi and Dr. David were sitting at the dining table, having breakfast and briefly communicating about Mu Qian's condition.

Qi Yuan listened for a while and couldn't help but frowned slightly - Mu Qian didn't know what her fate was. She was more irritated than others when she got sick. It was just a fever. In her words, she would be cured after a while.

His illness actually caused him to fall into a coma.

He thought like this, and when he saw Huo Jinxi's face, he couldn't help but ask for permission: "Do you want to cancel today's trip? Anyway, the people at Ivey are very familiar with Eric, and Eric should be able to handle it alone."

"No need." Huo Jinxi said.

He only said these two words, and Qi Yuan immediately felt relieved - although women are seductive, at critical moments, work is always the most important thing.

After breakfast, Huo Jinxi told the doctor and Laura a few more words before going out.

In the bedroom, Mu Qian was still asleep.

This morning, the cooperation negotiations between Huo Jinxi and Ivey Group went so smoothly that Ivey executives, who had always been impersonal, hosted a banquet in person.

Although Huo Jinxi was not interested, he still reluctantly agreed.

The investigation report made by Qi Yuan played an important role in this negotiation. Seeing that the negotiation went so smoothly, he was very pleased. He was very engaged in chatting with one of Ivey's executives at the dinner table.

When the wine was in full swing, I suddenly heard a senior executive from the other party say: "Is this wine not to Mr. Huo's taste? Do you want a different one?"

Qi Yuan followed everyone's gaze and looked at the wine glass in front of Huo Jinxi, and found that the wine in his glass had not been touched much.

"No need." Huo Jinxi said, "The wine is very good, but I'm not used to drinking at noon."

This is true.

Ever since Huo Jinxi took over the Huo family, he has always been strict and self-disciplined. He is even more harsh on himself than on his subordinates. He is never allowed to drink alcohol at noon.

Qi Yuan had been with him for many years and naturally knew his habits. However, when he caught a glimpse of Huo Jinxi's index finger tapping regularly on the table, he suddenly remembered something.

This is one of Huo Jinxi's rare little actions that reveal his emotions. The appearance of such an action shows that he is about to lose his patience.

But today's negotiation went so smoothly, what else could make him lose his patience?

Qi Yuan felt blessed for a moment, stood up suddenly, and said to everyone at the dinner table: "Sorry, I have a phone call that I need to go out to make."

He turned around and walked out of the VIP hall where the dinner was held, took out his mobile phone and dialed Laura's number.

When the call was connected, Laura told him the good news: "Miss Mu has woken up, her fever has gone away a little, and she is taking a shower now."

After hearing this, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, he spoke again: "You should find an opportunity to remind her tactfully and call Mr. Huo to report his condition. Ask her to do it in person!"

After hearing this, Laura hung up the phone and heard Mu Qian walking out of the bathroom, so she knocked on the door and entered the bedroom. Sure enough, she saw that Mu Qian had already finished taking a bath.

"Miss Mu." Laura probably didn't know what euphemism meant, so she said straight to the point, "Mr. Qi asked you to call Mr. Huo and report your condition."

After hearing this, Mu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly, lay back on the bed, and responded lazily: "Tell him that I am a patient and don't have the energy to make a phone call."

After hearing this, Laura turned around and walked out of the bedroom again.

Dr. David was still staying in the apartment. Seeing that Laura had finished talking to Qi Yuan on the phone again, he said in a low voice: "Miss Laura, what is the relationship between this Miss Mu and Mr. Huo, do you know?"

After hearing this, Laura frowned slightly, and then said: "They should be boyfriend and girlfriend? But there is something weird between the two of them, so I'm not sure."

David listened and nodded in agreement: "I also think there is a strange relationship between them. They don't look like ordinary friends, but they seem to lack the feeling between a boy and a girl..."

On the other end, Qi Yuan was angry and helpless after hearing what Laura had told Mu Qian. He could only find an opportunity to report to Huo Jinxi in a low voice: "I just finished talking to Laura on the phone and said that Miss Mu has woken up.

, you don’t have to worry too much.”

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi only said, "Yeah."

After Mu Qian took a bath and slept in the newly changed sheets and bedding, she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. Just as she was about to let herself fall asleep, her cell phone on the bedside suddenly rang.

Mu Qian only thought it was a call from Qi Yuan. When she rolled her eyes and picked up the phone, she saw Su Mubai's name.

"Qianqian?" Hearing her voice, Su Mubai was a little confused, "Why does your voice sound like this? Are you sick?"

"Well, I have a little fever." Mu Qian replied.

Su Mubai's voice suddenly became slightly nervous, "Have you gone to the hospital? Where are you? In your apartment?"

"No." Mu Qian replied weakly, "I'm in New York."

Su Mubai seemed to be stunned, and then he said: "I thought you were in Philadelphia, and there was a musical that I wanted to see with you. Who knew that not only were you not here, you were also sick... How is your condition? Is it serious?"

"When is the musical?" Mu Qian chuckled, "If it's a few days later, maybe I can catch up."

"A week from now." Su Mubai said.

"That's it..." Mu Qian thought for a moment before speaking, "Then I have to confirm my time before I can reply to you."

Su Mubai chuckled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, you should take good care of yourself first."

Mu Qian responded softly, and Su Mubai paused for a moment before speaking again: "Then let's do this for now, I -"

At this point, he suddenly paused again, and Mu Qian called him with some confusion: "Senior Brother Su?"

After another moment, Su Mubai seemed to muster up the courage to speak: "Qianqian, are you and Huo Jinxi together?"

Mu Qian laughed softly, "Yes."

"Didn't you say...you hate him?"

Mu Qian turned over, lying on her back on the bed, looking at the ceiling above her head and slowly said: "I live in his apartment now, but that doesn't mean... I don't hate him."

…

At night, when Huo Jinxi returned to the apartment, Mu Qian had slept all afternoon again and was changing clothes in the cloakroom, while Laura stood beside her and looked at her with a troubled face.

"What's going on?" Huo Jinxi stood at the door of the bedroom and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as Laura saw him, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Huo, you came back just in time, Miss Mu has to go out."

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi glanced at Mu Qian and motioned for Laura to go first, then walked in and asked, "Where are you going?"

He already knew that her persistent high fever had subsided, but after three days of fever, she was still very weak, but she seemed to be in high spirits and her eyes were particularly bright.

"I want to drink porridge." Mu Qian met his gloomy gaze and answered with a pout, "Freshly cooked white porridge."

Huo Jinxi's eyes paused slightly, but he didn't expect that she was doing it for such a trivial matter.

"If you want to drink porridge, just ask Laura to buy it." He said.

"No," Mu Qian said, "If you buy it, it won't be freshly cooked, and it will have no flavor."

Huo Jinxi glanced at her and said slowly: "Then ask the chef to come over and cook it for you."

"I'm talking about white porridge over an open fire!" Mu Qian was a little annoyed, "You don't even have gas in your apartment, how can you cook white porridge over an open fire?"

While she was talking, she had already put on her clothes, turned around and walked to Huo Jinxi. She stopped for a moment and then laughed again. She stretched out her hand and grabbed his suit jacket, "You just happened to be back, so why don't you accompany me?"

La?"

She looked up at him, with bright eyes and a bright smile, part coquettish and part pleading. She was really... irresistible.

There was no sign of emotion on Huo Jinxi's face, and he pulled her hand away, "This place is only twenty minutes' drive from Chinatown. If you think the ones Laura bought have no flavor, then ask Qi Yuan to buy you authentic ones."

He turned around and walked out of the bedroom, sat on the sofa in the living room, and took out his cell phone to make a call.

Mu Qian followed him and walked up to him, took the mobile phone out of his hand, fell into his arms, and looked at him, "Don't call Qi Yuan! He doesn't like me in the first place, so in the middle of the night

If I ask him to buy porridge, he will hate me even more."

Huo Jinxi looked at her without answering. Mu Qian put away his phone, stretched out her hand to grab the waist of his shirt, and buried herself in his arms like a baby, "Just go with me...I haven't done much in the past two days."

It’s time to eat, now I just want to drink a pot of hot casserole porridge..."

Her body temperature was still high, and her warm forehead kept rubbing against his neck and chin. The heat from the skin-to-skin contact made people feel a fire rising in their hearts for no reason.

But she was still twisting and turning tightly against him. Huo Jinxi would not believe it if she didn't do it on purpose.

"Let's go, let's go..." Mu Qian kept begging him, "It's not far anyway, I really want to eat..."

Huo Jinxi grabbed her slender waist to stop her continuous twisting movements, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "If you still want to go out, get up and let me change clothes."

Mu Qian won the victory and laughed with a "puff". She immediately jumped up from him and pulled him up, "Okay, okay, hurry up and change clothes."

Ten minutes later, Huo Jinxi changed into a brand-new handmade custom suit and walked out of the bedroom.

Thirty minutes later, Huo Jinxi, wearing this handmade custom-made suit, sat with Mu Qian in a Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown that was full of fireworks.

It was already after nine o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant was still full of people. The air was filled with the hustle and bustle of the market and the aroma of food. Waiters and diners were shuttled among them, making it very lively.
