Two days later, Huo Jinxi's private plane finally took off from Philadelphia Airport and flew to Tongcheng.

13 hours later, the plane landed in Tongcheng, at noon.

Back at the old house, Huo Jinxi took a shower and changed his clothes and went to the company. After Mu Qian took care of Huo Qiran, who was confused by the jet lag, went out and went to Huaian Painting Hall.

These days when she was away, all the affairs of the Huatang were in order, but as soon as Mu Qian got started, she still had a lot of work to do.

She made small adjustments to the paintings on display, sorted out some new paintings, looked through the works of some new painters, and finalized the pricing of some paintings. After such a busy journey, it was already dark.

The studio staff suggested going to have dinner together. Mu Qian was about to agree, but Yu Guang suddenly saw a cool motorcycle flashing by on the street outside the door.

"I just flew back from the United States today. I'm a little tired and want to go home early to rest." Mu Qian said, "You have worked hard during this period. I'll pay for the bill to find a better restaurant to have dinner."

The group of people immediately laughed, "Thank you, Mrs. Huo."

Mu Qian asked them to leave first and stay and close the door by himself.

She was ready to leave until everyone left.

While Mu Qian was concentrating on locking the door, a chaotic footsteps suddenly came from behind her. When she turned around, she saw Wu Hao and another bodyguard blocking her, as well as Cheng Ye, who was blocked from both sides.

In this case, Cheng Ye should have wanted to approach her from behind, but was stopped by the bodyguard beside her.

Cheng Ye was wearing a black motorcycle suit, and he looked very thin and his face was slightly pale.

He stood three meters away from Mu Qian, turned his head slightly to look at Mu Qian, and smiled softly, "Is this... guarding me?"

Mu Qian stared at him for a moment, smiled slightly, and said to Wu Hao: "Don't be so nervous, this gentleman... is my friend."

Hearing the word "friend", Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wu Hao frowned and turned to look at her, "Madam?"

"You are here, are you afraid that he will eat me?" Mu Qian waved his hand, "I'll talk to him, you can relax."

Hearing her words, Cheng Ye turned around and walked to the street, stood leaning against a street light, and took out a cigarette to light it.

Mu Qian locked the door again, then walked to him, looked him up and down, and slowly said, "You seem to have lost weight... Is something wrong?"

Cheng Ye glanced at her, "Don't you know what happened to me?"

Mu Qian paused again before saying, "I really don't know."

As soon as she finished saying this, Cheng Ye suddenly turned to her, his eyes straight towards her, his eyes cold and gloomy.

Mu Qian stood steadily, his expression as calm as ever, and the curve of the smile on the corners of his lips did not change at all.

"Why don't you know?" Cheng Ye spoke in a slight silence, "I don't know how smart you are, why pretend to be stupid in front of me?"

Mu Qianman casually pointed at the toes, "It depends on what you are talking about."

Cheng Ye stared at her for a moment, and finally laughed softly again, but the viciousness in his eyes did not dissipate.

"I trust you so much..." he said, "but you betray me."

After hearing this, Mu Qian was neither panicked nor confused, but instead laughed helplessly, "Believe me? Why do you believe me? Do you understand what kind of person I am? Why do you want to trust a stranger easily?"

"So I believed you wrongly, right?" Cheng Ye asked back.
