Chapter 463
Huo XIwen’s gaze shifted to the takeout on the table. He felt very regretful. He had originally wanted to do something for him, but ended up screwed up.
"That... "Why don’t you cook two eggs? Although I don’t know how to cook, I think boiled eggs can still be cooked in plain water." "I can’t bear to see him starve," Huo Xi Wen said as he got up and started to walk towards the kitchen.
But before she could take a step forward, her hand was grabbed by Fu Mujun who was sitting on the sofa. With a little strength, her center of gravity became unstable, and she was pulled towards him, falling onto his chest.
The atmosphere seemed to have frozen at that moment. Huo XIwen could clearly feel his heartbeat suddenly accelerate, as if it could pop out of his chest at any moment.
The two of them gazed at each other with a slightly tipsy look in their eyes as they attracted each other’s attention.
"Plop, plop, plop ..."
Huo XIwen felt his heart beating, and his face continued to heat up.
The air was extremely quiet, and the sounds coming from the television set seemed to be blocked out by them. At this moment, in this space, it was as if their eyes and hearts were nothing but each other.
Fu Mujun’s eyes were focused on her eyes, and his face slowly approached her.
His heart was beating faster and faster. Looking at his full and familiar lips, she closed her eyes, waiting for this long-missed kiss.
Due to her excitement and nervousness, her eyelashes also trembled lightly. Her entire body was extremely tense. All of her attention was waiting for him to approach.
However, just as they were inches away from each other and his lips were about to touch hers, a piercing ring suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding Ling Ling Ling ..."
Huo XIwen was startled by the sudden sound of her voice. He opened his eyes and saw that Fu Mujun was frowning as well. His gaze landed on the phone that she had placed on the tea table.
Realizing that his phone was ringing, Huo XIwen immediately picked up his phone. He looked at the caller ID and saw that the call was from Chen Yanzhuo.
This guy, why did he call her in the middle of the night?
She thought for a moment. She was in no hurry to answer the phone.
The other side seemed very persistent, not intending to hang up at all. His cell phone continued to ring.
"Let’s pick up the phone. Maybe I have urgent business with you." At this moment, Fu Mujun had already sat up straight, and the distance between the two of them had been widened, and he had recovered back to his previous state.
Huo XIwen was a little vexed in his heart. Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and their relationship would have been even closer.
Although she felt a bit unhappy, she still picked up the phone and answered the call. "Hello ..."
"Miss Huo, it’s me. Director Zhao told me to call you. He said that he found something about Mr. Fu and wanted to show it to you. He asked if it’s convenient for you right now." On the other end of the phone, Chen Yanzhuo’s voice came over.
"What did you say?" What is it? " Huo Xi Wen heard that it was for Mu Yun and immediately became excited again.
"This... I’m not sure. He just asked you to come to the office. However, if you’re not free right now, it’s alright. Director Zhao is going out of the country tomorrow, so I’ll show it to you when he comes back. "
"No, no, no. I’m free right now. I’ll be right over." How could she wait for him to return home?
Right now, she couldn’t wait to find out what item Fu Muyun had left behind.
"Okay, I’ll tell her." Chen Yanzhuo said and hung up.
Huo XIwen kept his phone in his bag and slightly tidied up his clothes. At this moment, Fu Mujun looked at her, "You’re leaving?"
"Yes, there’s something." Huo Xiwen replied.
She had wanted to ask him to go with her. After all, it was something he had left for her.
However, it was obvious that Zhao Wei did not know about his survival. If he brought him with him, it would be hard for him to explain it to Zhao Wei.
Back then, the United States had painstakingly helped him play the part of a dead man, tricking everyone. She could not reveal his identity just because of her.
"I’ll send you off." Fu Mujun stood up and pulled her up from the sofa.
"No ..." "No need, I can just walk by myself." Recalling what that had just happened, she still felt a little embarrassed.
"I knew you were driving, so I walked you to the door." Fu Mujun smiled as he looked at her slightly embarrassed face.
"Oh, alright then." Huo XIwen let out a sigh of relief when he heard that, and turned around to walk to the door.
Fu Mujun escorted her to the door and watched her get in the car. He reminded her, "Pay attention to your safety."
"Mm, you can go now. I’ll be going." Huo Xiwen waved at him, started the car, and drove away from the villa.
Fu Mujun watched as her car drove off and returned to his room. His previously smiling face turned cold in an instant.
At this time, it was already ten o’clock at night for the Ming Zhu Group.
In the entire office building, except for the security personnel on night shift, everyone else had left.
The lights in the hall dimmed.
He parked in front of the building, got out, and walked into the lobby.
The sound of high heels hitting the empty hall echoed loudly.
When the security guard sitting in front of the duty station heard the noise, he immediately raised his head and saw Huo XIwen. He immediately asked, "Miss Huo, you’re so late. Why are you here?"
"You guys, Director Zhao told me to come. He said he had something to talk to me about. Is he up there? " Huo Xi Wen said.
"The lights in the CEO’s office are still on. Director Zhao should be waiting for you in the office. Let me walk you to the elevator. " As the security guard said this, he walked in front of her, cleaned the door, and brought her to the elevator. "Miss Huo, do you need me to escort you up?"
"No need." Huo Xiwen asked.
"Alright, take care then. If there’s anything between you and Director Zhao, just give me a call." The security guard said respectfully.
"Yes." Huo Xiwen nodded, pressed the close button, and the elevator door slowly closed, going straight up.
The CEO’s office was located at the top floor of the Ming Zhu group, twenty-nine stories high, overlooking the entire city from above, as if the whole world was under his feet.
After a while, the elevator stopped.
They arrived at their destination.
The elevator door opened and she stepped out. It was bright outside. Zhao Wei must have left a light on for her because he didn’t want her to be able to see the road clearly.
Ye Zichen walked towards the office. At this moment, the entire office was empty, without a single person.
The sound of high heels on the smooth floor was as clear as a knock on a door.
When she reached the office door, she raised her hand and lightly knocked on it.
Very soon, two words were heard from inside: "Come in."
This was Fu Muyun’s voice.
In other words, Chen Yanzhuo was also in the office.
He pushed the door open and walked in. As expected, he immediately saw Chen Yanzhuo sitting on the sofa with a tea set in front of him. He was making tea.
However, what was strange was that Zhao Wei was not there.
