She sat there, her cheeks on her left side were slightly red and swollen. Although the wound on her forehead had frozen, it was still clearly red.

This look is extremely embarrassing, but she smiled slyly and showed a breathtaking beauty.

This situation seems familiar.

On this day eight years ago, he returned home late at night. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw her back hurriedly upstairs.

She clearly heard the movement of his return and hurriedly avoided it. This was really unusual.

Huo Jinxi went upstairs, walked to the door of her bedroom, and gently pushed it, and the door opened.

There was no sign of her in the bedroom. Huo Jinxi slowly walked to the bathroom door and saw her sitting in the bathtub with her knees in her arms.

Her eyes were red, clearly crying. She was holding back her tears. When she saw him, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped her eyes, and smiled at him, "Are you back?"

At that time, she was not very good at managing her expressions. She obviously wanted to cry, but she forced a smile at him. As soon as the expression on her face changed, tears fell down her eyes.

He walked to the bathtub, wiped her tears with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

The sad person could not withstand the care the most. She pursed her mouth and tears immediately fell out of control.

"I miss Dad..." she said.

After so many years in the Huo family, she has been quiet and well-behaved and never mentioned her parents.

Perhaps everyone took her as a child without parents, so everyone in the Huo family took it for granted. No one cared about whether she would have any other concerns outside the Huo family.

But who does not desire a real home for a child who lives under someone else’s roof?

The Huo family is not her home, never.

When Huo Jinxi was withdrawing from his memories, Mu Qian had already picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

She didn't look at him again, just said, "If it were normal, I would definitely hope you will appear, but today, I don't want to. I just want to finish this meal quietly, is that okay?"

"I didn't say I won't let you eat it." Huo Jinxi said.

After hearing this, Mu Qian sighed slightly, then ignored him and started eating alone at the table.

After serving for a long time, most of the dishes were a little cold, but she didn't care. She ate everything and ate a lot.

Huo Jinxi frowned faintly as she watched her eat almost half of the table of food alone.

However, the next moment, Mu Qian himself reacted.

She was eating happily, but suddenly stopped the chopsticks, and then a stomachache surged. She threw the chopsticks down, turned around and rushed into the bathroom.

Then, Huo Jinxi heard her violent vomiting sound.

He sat there, his eyes were dim and unclear. Until he heard a dull sound of "bang", he suddenly stood up and opened the bathroom door. He only saw Mu Qian lying curled up on the ground, losing consciousness.

...

When Qi Yuan got the conclusion of Mu Qian's high fever of 40 degrees and acute gastroenteritis, he blamed himself.

He hurried into the ward and handed the report to Huo Jinxi sitting next to the bed.

"I really didn't realize that she was uncomfortable," Qi Yuan said, "Otherwise, she should have been sent to the hospital first anyway."

Huo Jinxi looked through the report without answering.

Not to mention that Qi Yuan didn't realize that she was uncomfortable, even if he saw her lying on the ground with his own eyes, he just doubted that this was her play.

In fact, she was lying on the hospital bed, breathing rapidly and her face was flushed, and she couldn't pretend.

What's more, the hospital's examination reports were already in his hands.

Qi Yuan looked at Mu Qian who was lying there motionless, and sighed secretly in his heart: I usually see Mu Qian's arrogant and cunning look, but now I see her lying quietly, with a slapped cheek, a wound on her forehead, and a high fever and gastroenteritis. It's really... painful.

After coming back to his senses, Qi Yuan said again: "The doctor said he would stay in the hospital for two days. I'll go and help Miss Mu prepare some daily necessities."

Huo Jinxi heard this and refused to comment.

When Qi Yuan turned around and was about to exit the ward silently, Huo Jinxi suddenly called him: "Check it out, which hotel Rong Qingzi lives in."

...

In the restaurant on the 25th floor of the hotel, Rong Qingzi sat alone in the seat by the window, with a bottle of red wine that was about to bottom out and a portion of wine and snacks that had not been moved.

When Huo Jinxi walked up to her, Rong Qingzi was looking at the night view outside the window, silent and deserted.

Huo Jinxi sat down opposite her. Rong Qingzi turned around and saw him. He was stunned at first, then immediately aroused an extremely charming smile, "Do you want to invite me to drink?"

"Aunt Rong." He spoke in a light voice, "I am Huo Jinxi."

Rong Qingzi stared at him for a while, and seemed to remember him. After a moment of quietness, she laughed out loud, "So it's you. I almost scared me to death by calling me auntie. I thought I was already that old!"

In fact, Rong Qingzi was only 12 years older than Huo Jinxi. During Huo Jinxi's childhood, Rong Qingzi was still living in the Huo family. Although the two were not close, they were originally a family attitude. Later, Rong Qingzi grew older and gradually became a beautiful woman in Tongcheng, attracting countless wild bees, waves and butterflies, and also triggering many years of war between Huo Bonian and Cheng Manshu. Later, Rong Qingzi left the Huo family. At that time, Huo Jinxi, who was still young, only heard adults say that she had elopement with others, but she didn't know what it meant to elope. Only Rong Qingzi disappeared from the Huo family from then on. Until many years later, Mu Qian was sent to the Huo family, and Rong Qingzi turned around and boarded a plane to the United States. It is said that he married Cen Bowen as soon as he arrived in the United States. He lived in the United States for a long time and never returned to China.

"Why are you here?" Rong Qingzi looked at him, "Here I come to find me?"

"Mu Qian had a car accident today," said Huo Jinxi.

Rong Qingzi's eyes paused slightly, but the expression on her face did not change much.

"Now she is in the hospital." Huo Jinxi said, "I think no matter what, you are her mother, you should notify you."

Rong Qingzi was quiet for a moment, laughed and looked at him, "Can't you die?"

Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly without answering.

"Isn't it enough if I can't die?" Rong Qingzi spread his hands, "Do you want to come here to notify me in person?"

"It seems that even if she dies, Aunt Rong may not care."

Rong Qingzi picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of wine, then said, "I don't care, but it seems you care about it? What's your relationship with her? Could it be... have you fallen in love with her?"
