Chapter 140 Warm and fragrant nephrite, just like yesterday

What Cen Xuxu told Huo Jinxi actually had no meaning to him.

Outsiders may feel confused about what kind of state he and Mu Qian are, but they are very clear about each other.

Before, she might have let go of her past with him, but after knowing that he designed her to return to Tongcheng, those pasts returned to her heart.

Maybe I hate him, I hate him as a toy that comes and goes when summoned, and with her current personality, it is impossible not to take revenge on him.

He had already had a certainty in his heart, so he used to be just watching from the wall.

He saw all these in his eyes, even if he was involved in it occasionally, he would not be too depressed.

Now, she started playing hide-and-seek.

Since that's the case, he will accompany her.

Las Vegas is thousands of kilometers away from New York. Even if Qi Yuan has the ability to do everything, he feels too far. What's more, he doesn't have the ability yet, so he can only entrust several private detective agencies to find out Mu Qian's whereabouts.

However, after half a month, nothing was found.

Qi Yuan was at a loss for Mu Qian’s no news every day, but Huo Jinxi was still the same as before. He should work and rest, as if he had not been greatly affected.

But Qi Yuan still noticed some different places.

For example, the dark circles of the company's senior executives are becoming more and more obvious, and the bags of the eyes seem to be heavier and heavier, and they look obviously exhausted.

It was not until one day that a senior executive found Qi Yuan and chatted that Qi Yuan knew the reason.

"Assistant Zite, don't you think Mr. Huo's work has been too intense recently?"

Qi Yuan was stunned, "I don't think so."

In fact, he has been with Huo Jinxi for many years and has long been used to Huo Jinxi doing everything himself and devotes 90% of his energy to work outside of his rest time, so he really doesn't feel anything.

The other party was almost angry by his answer, pointing at his bags in his eyes and accusing him: "We have been working overtime for a week! This is inhumane!"

Qi Yuan thought about it for a while and then realized that it seemed that the senior executives of the company had indeed accompanied Huo Jinxi to work for a week. Such situations are really rare except for special periods.

But what special period is now?

For example, Lola couldn't help but complain to him secretly, saying that Mr. Huo was very difficult to serve recently. Although she has achieved perfection as a professional apartment housekeeper, she has been repeatedly criticized for some small things recently - something that has a slight unevenness under the shirt cufflinks, the coffee temperature is not right, the wine delivered at night is not the right taste, etc.

"Mr. Huo started drinking again at night?" Qi Yuan couldn't help asking.

Lola nodded, "Yes, I have one cup of whiskey every night, and I have added two cups these two days! When Miss Mu was there before, it was not like this."

When Qi Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Qian, Mu Qian, after all, is because of Mu Qian! But that woman has no information at all, and she doesn’t know whether she dies or lives!

This situation lasted for a few more days, and there was no progress in checking Mu Qian's whereabouts.

Late that night, Qi Yuan negotiated with several detective agencies and took him to the bathroom with despair and washed his face. Suddenly, he saw Huo Jinxi, who was about to get off work, standing by his desk, looking through the information sent back by the detective agency.

Qi Yuan quickly wiped away the water stains on his face, ran over hurriedly, and explained: "These are all messages sent by private detectives, but there is no useful information."

Huo Jinxi briefly looked through a few times and said, "Why just stare at Las Vegas?"

Qi Yuan was stunned, "Miss Mu has gone to Las Vegas."

"If she wanted to hide her whereabouts, she wouldn't have exposed herself in Las Vegas."

After Huo Jinxi finished speaking, he threw down the pile of waste paper and turned around and left.

Qi Yuan suddenly realized that he had completely underestimated Mu Qian's cunning nature, but in this way, wouldn't the scope be wider?

But now Huo Jinxi has already personally inquired about this matter. No matter how wide the scope is, he still has to find it.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he vaguely felt that Huo Jinxi seemed to have lost his patience in this matter.

Qi Yuan calculated with his fingers, and as expected, it was only two weeks before they returned to China.

...

That night, Huo Jinxi drank two glasses of whiskey and went to bed as often as possible.

It has been a long time since he relied on alcohol to help him sleep. Moreover, two glasses of whiskey are not a big drink for him now. Just drinking a little will make him sleep easier.

Just as he was asleep, he suddenly noticed that a hand gently grabbed his ankle.

Afterwards, his bed gradually arched, and there were obviously more individuals.

Huo Jinxi reached out to grab the person and directly took him out of the bed.

"Puff--" Mu Qian lay on the pillow and looked at him. Her long dark hair was like a waterfall. In the dark night, her eyebrows and eyes were as moving as picturesque. She looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jinxi just looked at her with deep eyes, and his chest was fluctuating while breathing.

So Mu Qian directly reached out to hook his neck, put it on his chest, and met his eyes, "I heard that you have arranged people everywhere to look for me?"

Huo Jinxi looked at her and felt something was wrong.

Mu Qian leaned into his ear and whispered: "Do you miss me?"

Without waiting for his answer, she had gently taken his earlobe and then slowly kissed his lips from his clear and clear jawline.

Warm fragrance and nephrite are just like yesterday.

The moment she tasted her lips, Huo Jinxi was almost lost, and subconsciously prepared to hug her and let her know the answer.

However, in just a moment, he forced himself to wake up.

She finally found the right time to run away from him. How could she be so obedient and come back at this time and sneak into his bed?

The next moment, Huo Jinxi, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

The room was pitch black, and the breathing sounds of him alone in the bedroom. Where is her shadow?

Sure enough, it was just a dream.

Huo Jinxi sat up, turned on the light at the head of the bed, and took the cigarette case and lighter at the head of the bed.

Next to the cigarette box is the cell phone. After Huo Jinxi lit a cigarette, he took the cell phone and turned to Mu Qian's number.

When the phone dials, it still cannot be connected.

Huo Jinxi threw away his cell phone and just smoked quietly, his eyes as cold as cold stars, deep and cold.

After smoking a cigarette, he pulled out the cigarette butts, then picked up his cell phone again and called Qi Yuan's phone number.

"Mr. Huo?" Qi Yuan answered in seconds.

"Check Rong Qingzi's movements," said Huo Jinxi.
