Mr. Huo had already finished breakfast early in the morning, but he was still sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper. When he saw Huo Jinxi coming downstairs, the old man couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

"What happened today?" Mr. Huo asked, "Did you get up late?"

Huo Jinxi sat down and took a sip of coffee, and simply said, "No."

The answer seemed obvious. Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction, "That's right. Spend more time with Qianqian and let her forget all the unhappy things in the past."

After a moment of pause, Mr. Huo spoke again: "What happened this time..."

"I'm checking." Before Mr. Huo finished speaking, Huo Jinxi had already spoken, "A lot of things have happened recently. It shouldn't be a coincidence."

Seeing his cold and tense expression, Mr. Huo couldn't help but frowned, "It's good to check, but you don't have to worry too much until the results come out."

Huo Jinxi didn't say anything after hearing this. Then he thought of Mu Qian upstairs. He paused for a moment with the knife and fork in his hands, still just eating quietly.

…

It was already noon when Mu Qian woke up. When she picked up her phone and looked at it, she saw several missed calls and unread messages on her phone.

Seeing the person who sent the message, Mu Qian knew what was going on. It was rare for her to divert her attention, and she was happy to go there.

So more than an hour later, Mu Qian met Ye Jinfan, who had been waiting for a long time, at a restaurant in the city center.

Ye Jinfan was sitting at a dining table by the window, leaning on the back of the chair, looking out the window with slightly frowning eyebrows, as if he had been sitting there for a long time.

It wasn't until Mu Qian sat down opposite him that he suddenly came back to his senses, looked back at Mu Qian, and smiled faintly, "Here you come?"

"Yes." Mu Qian replied, "Sorry, I got up late today and kept Brother Ye waiting for a long time."

"It doesn't matter." Ye Jinfan still smiled, "Let's see what we want to eat."

Mu Qian casually ordered a set meal, and then looked at Ye Jinfan, "Brother Ye is so anxious to ask me out, what's going on?"

Ye Jinfan looked at her for a moment, then straight to the point, "Where is Xixi?"

"Huh?" Mu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this question, "Where is Ye Zi? Why do you, the elder brother, ask me? Isn't she at home?"

Ye Jinfan listened and said slowly: "Yes, she is not at home, she has disappeared..."

"Then why aren't you looking around?" Mu Qian said, "Could he have been kidnapped?"

Ye Jinfan looked at Mu Qian quietly for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, "You gave her some advice, right?"

Mu Qian seemed to be planning to pretend to be stupid until the end, "What's your idea?"

Ye Jinfan sighed helplessly and said: "I have watched Xixi grow up, and you two have also been good friends since childhood. We both know what kind of character Xixi is. And she is your only good friend, Qianqian,

Just stop teasing me."

Mu Qian ate slowly and said, "Since Brother Ye knows Ye Zi so well, he should know that the matter between you two has nothing to do with me, right?"

After hearing this, Ye Jinfan paused for a moment, seemingly acquiescing, and then said: "Qianqian, I just want to know where she went and is she safe?"

"I really don't know." Mu Qian said, "She disappeared for some reason, and she will be found for some reason, right?"

Ye Jinfan couldn't help but glance out the window again, looked away, and then said: "You know everything?"

Mu Qian lowered her head to eat and answered without raising her head: "It's better not to know about this kind of thing, right?"

Ye Jinfan smiled helplessly, "Now that you know, from the perspective of a bystander, you should know better that the road between Xixi and me is not that easy..."

"There is no easy path in this world." Mu Qian said, "Everything is your own choice, so you can't blame others."

Ye Jinfan raised his eyes to look at her, and after a moment, nodded slowly, "You're right."

"So Brother Ye, have you figured out how to leave?" Mu Qian put down the tableware in her hand, picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth while asking.

Ye Jinfan did not answer, but looked at the plate of spaghetti in front of her with only a few pieces eaten, "Are you full now?"

"Yeah." Mu Qian replied, "I'm full."

"Then your appetite is too small." Ye Jinfan said, "This restaurant makes pretty good desserts. Can I order one for you?"

Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "Is Brother Ye so considerate to every woman?"

Ye Jinfan smiled and said, "You are her good friend."

"There is no need to care so much about her good friends." Mu Qian said, "This is not a plus point."

Ye Jinfan always had a smile on his face, and now he couldn't help laughing, "You are really much calmer and more sensible than Xixi."

Mu Qian held her chin up, raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and replied: "I used to be much crazier than her."

After hearing this, Ye Jinfan looked at her for a moment, probably thinking about the old things he heard from Ye Xi. His expression calmed down slightly, and he asked softly: "What about now?"

"I don't have any expectations for love." Mu Qian replied, "But I still believe in love and hope that my friend can be happy."

Ye Jinfan looked at her quietly and said nothing for a while.

"So, can I still have dessert?" Mu Qian asked.

Ye Jinfan chuckled lightly, "Of course."

Mu Qian turned around to ask someone to order food. Who knew when she turned around, she saw a man a few tables away who was originally facing this way. As soon as she turned her head, the man quickly turned away.

Mu Qian's gaze lingered on that man for a moment, and Ye Jinfan seemed to notice it as well, whispering: "That man has been looking here before, do you know him?"

Mu Qian shook her head, "I don't know."

"That might be a reporter." Ye Jinfan said, "After all, the topic about you and Huo Jinxi is a hot topic in the city right now."

Mu Qian heard this and chuckled, "He is not a reporter."

"How do you know?" Ye Jinfan asked.

"Which reporter wears famous brands like him?" Mu Qian answered while flipping through the menu, "It is not ruled out that there are some young people who follow the trend, but at his age, thirty or forty years old, wearing famous brands, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a reporter

The paparazzi is probably an investigator who corresponds to the upper class..."

After hearing this, Ye Jinfan couldn't help but look at the man over there again, and then said: "Then what does he want to find out by following you? Do you need me to ask him?"

"No, no, no," Mu Qian replied without raising her head, "Who doesn't work for food?"

She selected the dessert, then raised her head again, looked at Ye Jinfan and said: "Brother Ye, don't worry about my affairs, just focus on yourself, and if possible, try to stay away from me. Don't let me hurt you and Ye Zi
