Mr. Huo had already finished breakfast early in the morning, but he was still sitting next to the dining table reading the newspaper. When he saw Huo Jinxi coming downstairs, the old man couldn't help but smile.

"What's wrong today?" Mr. Huo asked, "Are you getting up late?"

Huo Jinxi sat down and took a sip of coffee, but said, "No."

This way, the answer seems to be very obvious. Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction, "That's right. Stay with Qianqian more and let her forget all the unhappy things she had before."

After pausing for a moment, Mr. Huo spoke again: "What happened this time..."

"I'm checking." Before Mr. Huo finished speaking, Huo Jinxi spoke, "There have been a lot of things recently, and it shouldn't be a coincidence."

Seeing that his expression was cold and tense, Mr. Huo couldn't help but frown, "Chata is good, but you don't have to worry too much before the result comes out."

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi didn't say anything. Then he thought of Mu Qian upstairs, and paused for a moment in his hand, and still just ate quietly.

...

It was already noon when Mu Qian woke up after a while. When she took her phone to look at it, there were several missed calls and unread messages on her phone.

When Mu Qian saw the person who sent the message, she knew what was wrong. It was rare that something could divert her attention, and she was happy to go there.

So more than an hour later, Mu Qian met Ye Jinfan who had been waiting for a long time in a restaurant in the city center.

Ye Jinfan sat at a dining table beside the window, leaning against the back of the chair, frowned slightly and looked out the window, as if he had been sitting for a long time.

It was not until Mu Qian sat down opposite him that he suddenly came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Qian, and smiled faintly, "Come?"

"Yes." Mu Qian replied, "I'm sorry, I'm getting up late today, so I've been waiting for Brother Ye for a long time."

"It's okay." Ye Jinfan was still smiling, "Look at what he wants to eat."

Mu Qian ordered a set meal casually, then looked at Ye Jinfan, "Brother Ye is so anxious to ask me out, what's wrong?"

Ye Jinfan looked at her for a moment, and then he simply went straight to the point, "Where is Xixi?"

"Hmm?" Mu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this question, "Where is Ye Zi? Why are you, the brother, asking me? Isn't she at home?"

After hearing this, Ye Jinfan slowly said, "Yes, she is not at home and the person is gone..."

"Then you are not going to look for it yet?" Mu Qian said, "Will someone be kidnapped?"

Ye Jinfan looked at Mu Qian quietly for a moment, and suddenly laughed again, "Did you give her the idea?"

Mu Qian seemed to be planning to pretend to be stupid and stunned, "What's the idea?"

Ye Jinfan sighed helplessly and said, "I have watched Xixi grow up since I was a child. You two are good friends since childhood. We both know what Xixi's personality is. And she is the only good friend. Qianqian, don't tease me."

While eating slowly, Mu Qian said, "Since Brother Ye knows Ye Zi so well, you should know that the matter between you two has nothing to do with me, right?"

Ye Jinfan paused for a moment, as if he had made a promise, and then said: "Qianqian, I just want to know where she went, is it safe?"

"I really don't know." Mu Qian said, "She disappeared for some reason, and she will naturally be found for some reason, right?"

Ye Jinfan couldn't help but look out the window again, withdrew his gaze before saying, "Do you know everything?"

Mu Qian lowered her head and ate, and replied without raising her head, "It's better not to know about this kind of thing, right?"

Ye Jinfan smiled helplessly, "Since you know, from the perspective of the bystander, you should know more clearly that the road between Xixi and me is not that easy to walk..."

"There is no road in this world that is easy to walk on." Mu Qian said, "Everything is your own choice, so you can't blame others."

Ye Jinfan looked up at her, and after a moment, he nodded slowly, "You are right."

"So Brother Ye has figured out how to leave?" Mu Qian asked while putting down the tableware in her hand, picking up the napkin to wipe her mouth.

Ye Jinfan did not answer, but looked at the pasta dish in front of her that had only eaten a few pieces, "Is this full?"

"Yes." Mu Qian replied, "I'm full."

"Then your appetite is too small," said Ye Jinfan. "The desserts in this restaurant are well made. Can you order one?"

Mu Qian turned his head slightly and looked at him, "Is Brother Ye so considerate to every woman?"

Ye Jinfan smiled, "You are her good friend."

"Don't care so much about her good friend." Mu Qian said, "This is not a plus."

Ye Jinfan always had a smile on his face, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, "You are really much more calm and rational than Xixi."

Mu Qian held her chin, raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and replied: "I used to be much crazy than her."

After hearing this, Ye Jinfan looked at her for a moment. He probably thought about the old things he heard from Ye Xi. His expression settled slightly and asked softly, "What about now?"

"I have no expectations for love." Mu Qian replied, "But I still believe in love and hope my friends can be happy."

Ye Jinfan looked at her quietly and said nothing for a moment.

"So, can I still eat desserts?" Mu Qian asked.

Ye Jinfan chuckled, "Of course."

Mu Qian turned around and was about to call someone to order food. Who knew that when she turned around, she saw a few tables apart. A man was originally looking at this side. When she turned her head, the man quickly turned his face away.

Mu Qian's eyes stayed on the man for a moment, and Ye Jinfan seemed to notice it, and whispered: "That man has been watching this place before, do you know him?"

Mu Qian shook her head, "I don't know."

"That may be a reporter." Ye Jinfan said, "After all, there are topics about you and Huo Jinxi now, which is a hot topic in the city."

When Mu Qian heard this, he chuckled, "He is not a reporter."

"How do you know?" Ye Jinfan asked.

"Which reporter is as well-known as him?" Mu Qian replied while flipping through the menu, "It is not ruled out that some young people who are following the trend, but like him, who is thirty or forty years old, with a famous brand, he is definitely not a paparazzi. He is probably a high-class investigator..."

After hearing this, Ye Jinfan couldn't help but look at the man over there again, and then said, "Then what do he want to check with you? Do you need me to ask him?"

"No, no, no," Mu Qian replied without raising her head, "Who is not working for dinner?"
