The winter nights in the Imperial Capital are always very psychedelic, with the blurry lights and falling snowflakes in the sky creating a sense of beauty that makes people's hearts float.
The closer we get to the end of the year, the busier the city becomes, and all the passers-by are in a hurry.
When Mu Qian passed by the largest light tower in the city center, she couldn't help but look out the window. She had never been to that place after being in the imperial capital for so long.
It is the largest lighting tower in the Imperial Capital, and it is also an observation deck. It is the tallest building in the entire Imperial Capital. From here, you can overlook the scenery of the entire Imperial Capital.
I heard that it is the place where most young people come, and it seems that there are more couples.
Chi Sizai's courtyard house is located in the city center, where land is at a premium. The surrounding houses are all owned by the Chi family and have not been developed into commercial streets.
So it should be quieter here.
Mu Qian rushed in as soon as she got out of the car. She crossed the swimming pool and went in. Before Heng Li, who was waiting at the door, could speak, she had already opened the door and went in.
"Miss Mu Qian..."
The person who walked straight in didn't hear what he said at all. Heng Li blinked and held back the rest of his words.
"Sir, you are in a meeting."
The internal meetings of the Chi family became busier as Mr. Nian Guan arrived. There were so many things waiting to be dealt with in the Chi family. Just after returning from the Yun family, two high-level meetings were held in succession.
Now it is a video conference. Although everyone is not face to face, they can still see each other.
In the study room with simple and bright decoration, a group of young and elite people in suits and leather shoes appeared on the half-wall-high display screen.
Everyone's speech was concise and to the point, highlighting the key points in just a few words without any nonsense.
The meeting was progressing smoothly, but towards the end, a female voice suddenly came from the audio equipment.
"Chi Si, come with me right away."
The man who was reporting on his work stopped, and everyone in the video looked at each other, staring at the girl who appeared in the video.
There was no knock on the door, she appeared suddenly, rushed over and took their fourth master's hand, calling them by their first names without any courtesy.
Mu Qian only knew that he was in the study and did not know that this person was in a meeting. After entering the door, she pulled his arm and walked out.
Chi Si chuckled when he saw her look and gently pulled her back.
"Wait a minute, I'll take you there after the meeting."
Everyone in the video widened their eyes for a moment. Everyone knew what kind of character this gentleman was, and the little girl opposite could barge in without any hindrance when the Fourth Master was in a meeting.
After entering the door, he dragged the person and walked out. Just like this, their fourth master was not angry yet, and even spoke with a bit of doting.
Mu Qian, who was dragged back by Leng Buding, looked up and saw people sitting in rows on the screen. She was stunned for a while and then quickly reacted.
"You are in a meeting."
Why didn't Hengli say anything when she came in?
"goodbye."
Mu Qian responded quickly and turned around to run away.
Chi Si quickly dragged the person back with quick eyes and hands, "You wait here for me, it will be over soon."
He glanced at the screen as he spoke, and the employees who were still in a daze reacted very quickly and continued to report on their work.
Mu Qian was forced to sit on the stool next to Chi Si. He felt quite at ease and pushed his cup in front of her.
"Drink some water."
Mu Qian glared at him, "Why do you leave me here?"
She didn't want to listen to this man's meeting. If she had known, she would have gone to Zhong's house by herself.
"You're not happy to have you stay with me." The man held her hand and played with it.
Although these managers all have a desire to gossip, they do not have the guts to do so. Those who report to work are extremely serious and do not dare to glance at the boss during the entire process.
Mu Qian pinched his palm hard and said, "You did it on purpose."
Chi Si held on to her hand without letting go and said innocently, "You ran in on your own."
The managers didn't waste any time and stopped after saying what needed to be said.
"Put next year's plan on my desk next Monday." Chi Si said without even raising his head.
The display screen went off, Mu Qian sighed and shook his head, "Life in this world is really tiring, it's better than before."
"In the past, swords and shadows were fighting for their lives, but now the world is about to become the same." Chi Si replied.
The offline intercontinental situation is not optimistic. The newly unified Beizhou is now looking at it with eager eyes. There will definitely be big movements in the spiritual world.
"What do you want from me?"
Chi Si raised his hand to tidy up her hair that had become raised due to running too fast.
Mu Qian remembered the purpose of this trip, "Let's go to Zhong's house."
"You want to explore Zhong Yuanzhi's memory and investigate what happened back then starting from Zhong Yuanzhi."
Mu Qian stared at him, "You are the roundworm in my belly."
Chi Si raised his hand to take her into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed the tip of her nose, "It seems that she is not sad anymore."
Although there was no relationship between Mu Qian and Yun Jingyu, she still couldn't help but lament that Yun Jingyu, her father, had almost interrupted her fantasy of all the fathers in the world.
She always believed that no parent would not love their children, but now that she thinks about it, family love in this world cannot always be generalized.
"Are you happy here?" Mu Qian asked.
Chi Si's parents also died young, and it was Mr. Chi who raised him. No matter in his previous life or this life, he seemed not to have a perfect family.
"Happy." Chi Si hugged the person in his arms tightly.
This life was what he asked for. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, after meeting her again, all the wanderings would be worth it.
"If you think this place is good, then I also think this place is the best." Mu Qian rubbed the clothes on his chest.
Hengli stood in the courtyard, and the snowflakes falling slowly from the sky fell into the swimming pool, melted into the water and disappeared.
Winter in the Imperial Capital seems to have come earlier this year, and the temperature has become lower than before.
He turned around and saw the two people hugging each other inside the half-open door, and he chuckled.
Anyway, this year, sir, it shouldn’t be too cold.
I don't know if it's his misunderstanding, but I always feel that Miss Mu Qian has been more intimate with her husband in the past few days and has become more dependent on him.
I don't know why, but it's a good sign.
Since the death of Mr. and Mrs. Chi, Mr. Chi has been taking care of him, but as a child without parents, his back always looks cold.
The Chi family's subordinates are watching him with eager eyes. Now that Mr. Chi's health is getting worse and worse, although Mr. Chi will not put those people in his eyes.
But it's always best to have someone around you who knows both coldness and warmth. Besides, Miss Mu Qian has a good temper and can get along happily with anyone.
The most important thing is to protect my shortcomings. I really couldn't be more compatible with my husband.
Before going to Zhong's house, Chi Si handed all the things he found to Mu Qian.
There is a thick pile of evidence that the Zhong family has used Zhong Limo to launder money over the years.
Zhong Limo made use of her status as Yun Han's only female disciple to make a name for herself in the cultural world, and her fame translated into profits that were no less than those of an ordinary listed company in the imperial capital.
In recent years, Zhong Yuanzhi has taken advantage of her reputation to collect money in the name of auctioning collectibles, and he also rescued a Zhong family company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
According to the rules of the Shuling Department, if the guilty spirit has property in his name, all of it will be confiscated. If other crimes are involved during the investigation, it will be handed over to the relevant departments for investigation.
So the Zhong family is now in turmoil. If Zhong Limo is convicted, Zhong Yuanzhi, who is implicated in her, will be included in the scope of the investigation.
These secrets of the Zhong family can no longer be kept secret.
"I didn't expect that Zhong Yuanzhi did so many things in private, but according to the normal operations of the Shuling Department, the investigation of the Zhong family will soon be transferred to the Procuratorate." Mu Qian glanced at the contents of the document.
If something happens to Zhong Limo, it will definitely drag down the Zhong family. Now Zhong Yuanzhi must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Thinking of this, Mu Qian raised her head and stared at the man in front of her, "I suddenly understand what you mean.
Chi Si smiled, his handsome face looking softer and more beautiful under the light.
"You've never been such a thief before." Mu Qian said, holding his face in her hands and rubbing it vigorously.
Although he was a taciturn young man in the past, he was ruthless and decisive, but he didn't know much about the ways of the world.
Chi Si held her wrist and moved forward, his thin lips fell on the corner of her lips and bit her.
"The most anxious person right now is Zhong Yuanzhi. Let's see who loses his composure first."
Mu Qian was stunned by his kiss. She rolled her eyes and leaned forward in his arms, "What if Zhong Yuanzhi wants to keep Zhong Limo?"
She was his biological daughter, and Zhong Yuanzhi was more justified in saving people than Yun Jingyu.
The man's slender fingers twined her hair around her ear, "Zhong Yuanzhi is also an ordinary man. No man can tolerate his wife being so close to his ex-boyfriend."
Regardless of whether he loves that woman or not, she is still his wife under the shackles of status. If there is any slight disturbance, when other people look at him, there will only be sympathy and ridicule in their eyes.
"Now we have to see whether Zhong Yuanzhi, the biological father, will abandon his daughter."
If Zhong Yuanzhi chose to cut off his tail to survive, Zhong Limo would probably have a hard time getting out.
So he went to the Yun family tonight because he wanted to see the Yun family's attitude and judge whether Zhong Limo still had a chance to come back through the Yun family's attitude.
If Yun Jingyu can't intervene, Zhong Yuanzhi will have no choice but to find another way.
"Then I'll go back and wait." Mu Qian struggled to get up.
Usually in this situation, they can only negotiate terms after the other party can't bear it any longer and comes to the door.
So she went back to have a good sleep and study about going to the north.
"Wait a minute." Chi Si held her mouth in his arms and whispered in her ear, "You seduced me all night and you want to leave like this?"
Hot breath fell behind her ears, Mu Qian covered her ears with one hand, "Otherwise."
Chi Si held the person in his arms with no intention of letting go, "I have already told Mr. Yun that you can move in with me."
Mu Qian stared at him for a long time, "You want to take advantage of the situation?"
Chi Si laughed angrily at these words. He leaned close to her ear and bit the tip of her ear and said, "You little heartless kid, I have been following you for so many days. If I had really taken advantage of you, you would have been killed long ago."
I gnawed until there were no bones left."
After listening to his words, Mu Qian lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, "Okay then, I will reluctantly live here, but you have to promise me one thing."
Seeing the cunning in her eyes, Chi Si held her hand and exerted some force.
This little ancestor has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.
Thirty minutes later, Chi Si took the little girl wrapped in a lambswool coat and got into the car.
Hengli closed the car door and got into the passenger seat. The only person who could let their husband go out at this time was Miss Mu Qian.
Miss Mu Qian made a request to see the lighthouse.
It is the watchtower in the center of the imperial capital. Every night it is a brightly lit beacon filled with people. My husband used to dislike crowded places.
Now that Miss Mu Qian has made a request, everyone has no choice but to comply.
The snow has been falling in large and small sizes since Yun Han's funeral, and it has never stopped. The huge imperial capital has long been covered in snow, and it has completely entered winter.
Mu Qian lay on the car window and looked at the people walking on the sidewalk outside, including couples cuddling with each other and family members accompanying each other.
"Don't touch your face, Liang." Chi Si stretched out his hand to pull the person back.
"Do you think I'm being unreasonable?" She looked at the man next to her very seriously.
Chi Si lowered his head and put on the plush gloves for her very seriously, "Looking at the lighthouse is unreasonable, so aren't all the people outside being unreasonable?"
Seeing him like this, Mu Qian suddenly thought of their past.
Although the young man at that time was reluctant to follow her, he still listened to her every time. As long as it was a request she made, even if it was just a casual joke, he would definitely be able to fulfill it.
Even though everyone he met thought he was a bad-tempered boy, only Mu Qian understood how gentle he really was.
"I have been wandering around in this world for many years, and I have been trying to find a way back, so I haven't been able to take a good look at what this world looks like. Now I want to take a good look." She suddenly said.
Chi Si stopped arranging her gloves and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
"Since I can't go back to the past, I can only stay here." Mu Qian said and leaned over, her eyes curved into crescent moons with sparkling eyes, "From now on, you will be the only one to take care of me. Are you willing, Mr. Chi?"
The car stopped in the parking lot, and the person in front said it was time to arrive.
The man's usually flamboyant eyes were now glowing with red, "I can't get what I want."
The car window was lowered, and the light of the towering lighthouse outside the window was bright.
"I'm very difficult to support. I want to eat well and sleep well, and you have to spend time with me. When I'm angry, you can't lose your temper with me. When I'm angry, you have to coax me and don't speak too loudly to me.
You can’t be angry with me for more than a day, do you agree?”
Chi Si smiled and took the person into his arms, saying in a loving voice, "Okay."
"Bang bang..."
Colorful fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, and pedestrians on the road stopped to watch.
Mu Qian raised her head, hugged his waist and kissed the man's thin lips.
Chi Si's eyes exploded with gorgeous fireworks and hearty joy. He exerted great force, and veins bulged out on the back of his white hands.
After waiting for so many years, he finally got her back.
