Hearing the words "just stay for a few days", Huo Qiran paused slightly, and then said, "Are you only stay for a few days? Where can I go for the next stop?"

"Huai City." Jing Li replied with a smile, "Stewart knew that Tongcheng was my hometown, so he came here to take a walk. He mainly wanted to go to Huai City and the surrounding areas of Huai City to collect folks, and he might stay there for a longer time."

After hearing this, Huo Qiran nodded softly again, his eyes stayed on her face, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the point to speak again.

At this moment, Mu Qian walked over from another direction. When he saw the situation here, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly walked up, "Jingli?"

Jing Li suddenly turned to look at her and soon laughed, "Aunt Mu."

"Long time no see." Mu Qian said to her with a smile, "When did you come back?"

Jingli quickly answered her question and then introduced Stewart to Mu Qian.

Stewart was originally here to collect folks and was particularly curious about people like Mu Qian. Therefore, after shaking hands, he started chatting with Mu Qian enthusiastically.

Huo Qiran and Jing Li stood beside him. While Mu Qian and Stewart were having fun chatting, Huo Qiran finally spoke softly again and asked Jing Li: "You can encounter this way, do you have time... to have a midnight snack together?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Li seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Stewart is not familiar with the place. I received his salary and came back to be his guide and assistant. It's hard to leave."

Of course, Huo Qiran could understand what she meant.

In the education he received, if he had no direct agreement, it would be equivalent to refusal. It would be extremely impolite to force others to do anything.

Therefore, after listening to Jing Li's answer, although he was slightly stunned, he still nodded slowly, and then said: "Then, if you have time before you leave, we can get together."

Jingli asked with a smile: "Aren't you busy?"

After hearing this, Huo Qiran just chuckled and replied: "It's okay."

"Okay." Jingli said quickly, "Then if I have time, I'll ask you."

This is said very naturally, but if you think about it carefully, it still means politely rejecting.

Huo Qiran could even imagine that she would not ask him, absolutely not.

On the other side, Mu Qian, who was having a great time chatting, had already started to take Stewart to visit other paintings at the exhibition, and explained to Stewart while visiting.

Huo Qiran and Jing Li walked slowly with each other, and Jing Li was also listening to Mu Qian's explanation very seriously, so it was difficult for the two to have any further communication.

Until the end of the tour, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Jing Li thought he could leave with Stewart, but he never expected that Stewart would actually invite Mu Qian to have a midnight snack together and continue chatting.

Huo Qiran originally thought Mu Qian would agree to Stewart's invitation. After all, Mu Qian has always made friends and is very good at handling such chats and invitations.

However, unexpectedly, Mu Qian said to Stewart: "Sorry, there is so much work to prepare for the art exhibition recently, and I'm afraid there is no time to enjoy this late-night snack."

Stewart seemed very sorry for this, and still asked Mu Qian unwillingly: "Then we can make an appointment with other times, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I have time for you to choose."

Mu Qian nodded and smiled, "Okay, but I want to check my itinerary first, or you can call my secretary to make an appointment."

Stewart happily accepted the proposal.

Jing Li seemed a little confused. He looked at Stewart and Mu Qian, and there was an invisible anxiety between his eyebrows.

Soon the two of them were about to leave the painting hall. Jingli's mind was obviously no longer here. Huo Qiran sent them out. She just hurriedly said goodbye to Huo Qiran, and then pulled Stewart into the car.

The rest of Huo Qiran stood alone on the side of the road, watching the car gradually disappear into the night, and he seemed to have not come back to his senses.

After getting on the bus, Jingli asked Stewart directly: "Don't tell me that you fell in love again?"

Stewart shrugged happily, "Why not? She is simply fascinating, beautiful and well-educated inside and outside."

"She has a husband, and she and her husband are very loving and have a very good relationship!"

"So what?" Stewart spread his hands, "You can also have love outside of marriage, and this is the real life."

Jing Li couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pressed his forehead.

Stewart has half of French descent, and this damn French genes and romance view is simply suffocating!

...

On the other side, on the way back to the Huo family with Huo Qiran and Mu Qian, Mu Qian still had endless calls, while Huo Qiran sat quietly in his seat, looking at the scene flying outside the window in a stunning way.

I don’t know how long it took, but he reached in front of him and snapped his fingers. Huo Qiran suddenly came back to his senses and found that Mu Qian’s phone call had been completed.

"What are you thinking?" Mu Qian asked him, "A god who has been out for so long."

Huo Qiran moved his stiff neck for a moment, and did not answer, and then paused, saying, "I'm a little hungry."

"Hone, you'll be home." Mu Qian said with a smile, "You can have a delicious midnight snack when you get home. It's better than eating with Stewart and Jingli."

After hearing this, Huo Qiran suddenly turned to look at Mu Qian, "Don't say that you rejected Stewart's invitation because of me?"

"Otherwise?" Mu Qian said, "You and Jingli are so embarrassed. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if you sit together and eat? My son has worked so hard to do research, so how could I let you experience that kind of scene again? So, let's go home and eat."

"Mom..." Huo Qiran called her helplessly.

"What?" Mu Qian said, "Can you tell me that you actually want to have a meal with Jingli? It shouldn't be that you two haven't been in touch for so long, isn't it good to just let it go?"

After hearing this, Huo Qiran didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only sigh.

Seeing the car entering the Huo family, Mu Qian didn't continue to say anything and hummed a few lines happily.

After getting out of the car, Huo Qiran went straight upstairs and returned to his room, sat on the bed, and lost his mind again.

I don’t know how long it took, but his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw a message from Jingli.
