Seeing this message, Huo Qiran suddenly opened the dialog box, but when he saw Jing Li's profile picture, he couldn't help but pause.

Then, he reached out and clicked on Jing Li's profile picture.

A few years later, he changed his mobile phone several times, and her profile picture no longer appeared in his chat list. It was only now that he saw her new profile picture.

The new photo, probably taken just this year, is a photo of her and Xi Xi. The background of the photo seems to be Xi Xi's birthday. The aunt and nephew are holding cakes and even their smiles are exactly the same.

Only then did he remember that he had even forgotten to ask Xi Xi when they met again.

He stared at the photo for a while, then returned to the dialog box and replied to her message: "Not yet."

Soon she sent another message: "Is it convenient for voice calls?"

Huo Qiran directly dialed the voice call.

Jing Li quickly answered the phone.

"Have you returned to the hotel?" Huo Qiran asked her.

"I'm back," Jing Li said, "We're already in the room."

Huo Qiran responded, and then said: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"That's it..." Jing Li was still hesitant, and after a moment of pause she finally summoned up the courage, "I'd like to apologize to you first. Stewart and I just happened to pass by the Huai'an Painting Hall today and happened to walk in... I

I didn't expect to meet you, let alone your mother..."

Huo Qiran almost held his breath and listened to her words, but he was completely unaware of what she wanted to say.

"Stewart is half-French, and the French are passionate and romantic, which is clearly reflected in him. I saw something was wrong with him at the time, so I quickly pulled him away. Who knew he still... fell in love with Aunt Mu at first sight?

Already."

Huo Qiran suddenly exhaled a breath and responded softly: "Yes."

"I don't know what he will do next, but if it has any impact on Aunt Mu and your family, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect things to develop like this...

"

Huo Qiran listened quietly to her anxious explanation over there. After a while, she finally spoke again: "Is it because of this?"

Jing Li paused, "Isn't this... enough?"

Huo Qiran laughed softly, and then said: "This kind of thing is a small problem. You have to believe that my mother can definitely handle it."

Jing Li was quiet for a moment and then said, "What about your father? Your father should also mind, right?"

"Probably." Huo Qiran said, "But he should be used to it, so it doesn't matter."

Jing Li listened and remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Anyway, please help me say sorry to my uncle and aunt. I'm really embarrassed."

"Okay." Huo Qiran responded, "I will convey it to them."

"Yeah." Jing Li responded, and then said, "I will try my best to persuade Stewart not to cause trouble... That's it, nothing else. I won't disturb your rest. Good night."

"Jing Li——" Huo Qiran suddenly called her again.

Jing Li seemed to be ready to hang up the phone, her voice sounded from far to near again, "Is there anything else?"

"How long will you probably stay in Tongcheng?" Huo Qiran asked, "Do we still have a chance to sit down and have a meal and chat together?"

"I'm not sure about this, everything depends on Stewart's arrangement." Jing Li said, "I'll make an appointment with you when I have time, okay? But what if I have time and you don't?"

"I have time." Huo Qiran said.

Jing Li seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay. Good night for today."

Huo Qiran was silent for a moment, then finally responded in a low voice: "Good night."

After hanging up the phone, he still stayed on the dialog box with Jing Li, looking at those two simple sentences, looking at the voice call frame, looking at Jing Li's avatar, and finally clicked on Jing Li's

circle of friends.

He rarely looked at his Moments, so he didn't know if she had posted anything. When he opened it, he found that her Moments were clean and there was not a single message.

Huo Qiran still stayed on that blank page for a long time, a long time...

…

The next morning, when Huo Qiran went downstairs, Huo Jinxi, Mu Qian and Yueyue were already sitting at the dining table.

Seeing him, the three of them were all surprised.

"Brother, you just came downstairs?" Yueyue asked him, "I thought you had already gone out!"

Mu Qian raised her eyes to look at her son, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you so late today? Your face doesn't look good. Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Yeah." Huo Qiran responded with a slightly nasal voice, "My head hurts a little, maybe I have a cold."

"Then remember to take medicine later." Mu Qian sighed softly and said, "Why do you suddenly catch a cold? But if you can take advantage of this cold to rest for a few days, that's not bad."

"That's probably a dream." Huo Qiran said, "The laboratory has been very busy recently..."

"Really?" Mu Qian said, "Then why did you tell Jingli yesterday that you weren't busy? I thought you really weren't busy."

When Huo Jinxi heard this, he slightly raised his head and glanced at his son, his expression remained calm.

Yueyue opened her eyes slightly, "Who? Sister Jingli? Is she back?"

"I'm back," Mu Qian said, "I happened to come to the art exhibition yesterday, and I happened to meet your brother."

"Brother, aren't you good friends?" Yueyue asked, "When she came back, she came to Huai'an Painting Hall to see the art exhibition. Didn't you know?"

"Eat your food." Huo Qiran did not answer her question, but just said, "I'm going to be late for school."

Yueyue curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him.

Speaking of which, Huo Qiran remembered another thing. After thinking about it, he still said to Mu Qian: "Mom, Jing Li told me that the instructor she was with yesterday fell in love with you at first sight. What methods might he use to pursue you?"

…”

Huo Jinxi, who had lowered his head and was looking at his tablet, quietly raised his head again.

Mu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly, "Really? I just saw that he was overly enthusiastic yesterday, and it turns out he really had an agenda."

Huo Jinxi then slowly said: "What's the heating method?"

"As soon as we met, he started chatting with me endlessly. If it weren't for his handsome appearance, I wouldn't bother to talk to him." Mu Qian said, "He even wanted to invite me to have supper together. How can I be such a casual person? First of all, he wanted to invite me to have supper with him."

Going out for a late-night snack with someone the first time you meet? No matter what, you have to meet a few times before you can sit down and have a meal together after you get to know each other really well!"

Huo Jinxi said: "Is it enough to meet a few more times? No matter what, you have to see how sincere the other party is, right?"

"Sincerity is not about how much, but whether there is any." Mu Qian said, "As long as there is sincerity, even if it is just a bouquet of flowers, then I will happily accept it. After all, no man has given me flowers for a long time."

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just chuckled slightly and said nothing more.
