In the dining room, Lin Mochen and Mu Hanxia sat opposite each other.
When he raised his head, he saw that she was a little distracted when she was cooking.
"What are you thinking?" he asked.
"nothing."
Both of them were silent for a while. He stretched out his chopsticks and placed the dishes in her bowl, and said, "Don't you like the dishes in this restaurant the most? Why don't you eat more?"
"Um."
After slowly eating the dishes he brought, she said, "I want to rest for a while, and I don't want to go to work."
Lin Mochen stared at her and replied, "Okay."
Inexplicably, Mu Hanxia breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, he added: "However, I also have a request."
She looked up at him.
"Move back to the hotel," he said. "I can't keep you in this convenience hotel forever. Unless you want me to move too."
Mu Hanxia was silent for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
Lin Mochen smiled, his eyes were calm and soft.
After dinner, he accompanied her back to her room to pack her luggage. Then all the way, dragging the suitcase with one hand, and holding her with the other hand, going downstairs, crossing the road, taking a taxi... Mu Hanxia let him hold it, and did not let go of his hand.
After returning to the original hotel, he opened a suite for her, which was much more spacious and luxurious than her original double room.
She asked, "Why do you want me in a suite?"
Lin Mochen smiled lightly and said, "Don't you want to rest for a while? Then stay more comfortable."
Mu Hanxia said nothing.
Lin Mochen put his arms around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her for a while, and said, "I'll see you after get off work tonight."
"Um."
This is the second day after MK injected capital into Fengchen. Jack has flown back to the United States, and the follow-up cooperation will be promoted by a special person in charge of Fengchen. Therefore, Lin Mochen was also very busy on this day. The only difference from the past is that he always thinks of Mu Hanxia from time to time.
Thinking of the night of infatuation last night, he would smile slightly.
But his intuition told him that something was wrong with Mu Hanxia. Even though she agreed to move back to him today, it was not like before, giving him a sense of certainty.

Lao Fang learned about MK's capital injection into Feng Chen yesterday. He also only smiled slightly and didn't ask too much. Only today, when the secretary reported the progress of this economic construction to him in detail, he mentioned with a smile: "It's quite dramatic. I heard from Feng Chen's reporter that he was a confidante of Lin Mochen. , what about the investment that came in?"
Lao Fang didn't know it, and asked with a smile, "How do you say it?"
The secretary replied: "You may have heard of Yongzheng Group in Jiangcheng. Cheng Weiwei, the daughter of Yongzheng, is also a graduate of Columbia University. I heard that she ran to the entrepreneurial cafe and found Mr. Burt's investment."
The secretary has always been Lao Fang's confidant, and he also knows Lao Fang's long-term friendship with Mu Hanxia. Lao Fang glanced at him and suddenly changed his face: "Where did Cheng Weiwei come from? I introduced Bert to Fengchen Xiaomu, what does it have to do with others?"
The secretary asked softly, "Do I need to call Lin Mochen to mention it?"
Lao Fang thought about it and said, "I will handle it."
In the afternoon, Lao Fang and Mu Hanxia met at a teahouse.
Mu Hanxia smiled as usual: "Suddenly summoned, what's the matter?"
Lao Fang looked at her with gentle eyes: "Have you encountered something recently? Otherwise, with your ingenuity, you can't be completely silent."
Mu Hanxia was stunned. She was indeed completely immersed in those affairs with Lin Mochen these days. Now that Lao Fang said this, she also faintly felt that she had overlooked something important.
"Lao Fang, what are you referring to?" she asked directly.
"Did you go to the coffee shop to find Bert after I told you about it?"
"I found it, of course I did." She replied with a wry smile, "I also pestered him for several days. Later, he loosened his tone and asked me to meet at the cafe yesterday. But I waited for an hour and he didn't come. I I think he might have changed his mind."
Lao Fang drank a few sips of tea quietly, and then asked, "That girl named Cheng Weiwei was in the cafe yesterday?"
Mu Hanxia's heart moved, and she replied, "Yes. She followed me."
The old Fang, who had never been so happy and angry, glared at her and said, "Why are you so confused? The MK that injected capital into Feng Chen is Bert's company!"
Mu Hanxia was completely stunned.
…
The two of them had slowly finished drinking a pot of tea, and the sunlight outside the window became more and more quiet.
Mu Hanxia asked with concern: "How is Bert now? Can he... be awake?"
Lao Fang sighed and said: "His illness is not optimistic at first, this time I'm afraid it will be more fortunate. However, this friend of ours has been in the investment world for a lifetime, and he is very open to it. Coming to China for vacation? You don't have to worry about him, I'll let you know if his condition progresses."
Mu Hanxia: "Yeah. I didn't expect this. He really invested in Feng Chen. I'm so grateful to him."
Lao Fang smiled and said, "He has made a lot of people bankrupt in his life, and he has done a good deed. I think he is in a happy mood when he made this decision. You still need to care about your own affairs first, such a big credit. , in front of your boyfriend, let the rat who came out of nowhere lead it. Why don't you talk to him when you go back?"
Mu Hanxia was quiet for a long time. Lao Fang saw her fair and slender fingers, held the teacup, let it go, and then held it again. He didn't ask, just drank tea quietly.
"Lao Fang, can I ask you one thing?" she said.
"What's up?"
"If Lin Mochen doesn't ask about this, don't mention it to him."
Lao Fang was slightly startled and put down the teacup: "Why?"
Mu Hanxia lowered her head and looked at the slightly rippling water surface in the cup, and many vague things were reflected in the water. "If he knew about it, he wouldn't let me go," she said.
The old man was silent.
Mu Hanxia picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. Finally, I couldn't hide my emotions.
Lao Fang said, "Have you decided to study?"
"I don't know..." Her voice was slightly hoarse, "Lao Fang, I really don't know which direction my life should go in now. Some people, I thought it would be easy to give up, but when the time came, he stab me, I still pity him..."
Lao Fang sighed softly, and patted her shoulder across the table: "Child, don't do this, you won't be like the one I know. In life, there are indeed many difficult choices. Love, hatred, interests. , future, sympathy... These will cover our eyes. But why do some people's lives always go forward and live happily, which is enviable? Some people always feel that life is wasted and hesitant?"
Mu Hanxia looked up at him.
He said: "Because of the former, he is always good at self-examination. He can let go of those utilitarians and emotions, clear the clouds, see the path that he truly desires in his heart, and fight for it firmly. In fact, the path of life, life What is right or wrong? There has never been one. Mu Hanxia, calm down and see the path in your heart. It’s actually already there, open those eyes in your heart and see it.”

This night, in the dead of night, Mu Hanxia was leaning against the bed in a daze, and suddenly heard the sound of the door being swiped open by a card.
She looked up and saw Lin Mochen pulling the suitcase and walking in.
Mu Hanxia: "What are you doing?"
He put the suitcase beside the wall, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, and went into the bathroom wearing only his shirt and trousers: "We don't need to open two rooms. I have already left the other one."
Before Mu Hanxia could say anything, the sound of his bathing water already sounded in the bathroom.
When Lin Mochen came out, Mu Hanxia had already turned off the lights, leaving only a desk lamp, and the man lay with his back to him. Lin Mochen also lay on the bed and hugged her from behind. Seeing that she didn't respond, he lowered his head and started kissing her neck.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked softly.
Mu Hanxia was silent.
His hands began to wander under the quilt inch by inch to tease. The movement was very light, and his fingertips were soft and cold, like an ant biting lightly. Mu Hanxia curled up slightly, but where he could get out of his control, his breathing gradually became faster with his movements.
She suddenly said, "Lin Mochen, can you promise me one thing?"
"Say." He lowered his head and bit her tender shoulder.
"You will never see Cheng Weiwei again in your life."
He was silent for a while, and slowly whispered in her ear: "Okay." This kind of promise made Mu Hanxia's heart soften, and some of the uneasy feelings calmed down. But he turned her around and said, "I won't come forward and let others deal with the cooperation in the future."
"Um."
He smiled slowly. That smile made Mu Hanxia feel a little distressed.
"I agreed to your request, how am I going to reciprocate?" he said.
"I… "
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Mochen lowered his head to kiss her, hugged her body tightly, and reached out to turn off the light.
In the darkness, the two bodies were entangled again.
