Xing Jiuan lowered her gaze and said, “I was talking nonsense. Senior Brother, don’t think too much about it.”

“Then can you tell me why you’re unhappy?”

“I’m not unhappy. Senior Brother, don’t overthink this.” Xing Jiuan didn’t know how to lie to people she was close to. When she spoke, she didn’t dare to look at Mu Qing.

In the end, Mu Qing did not continue to probe her.

It was probably because this child had grown up. She had her own sentiments now that she didn’t want to tell her guardian.

As her guardian, he didn’t seem to have any other choice. He couldn’t force her to talk!

When they returned, Xing Jiuan said that she had already eaten dinner and wanted to head back to rest. Mu Qing did not request anything else.

“Boss, why do I feel that Jiuan is a little off?” Lu Mingxi asked as he leaned over.

Mu Qing remained silent as he looked at Xing Jiuan’s tightly shut door.

Xing Jiuan still did not dare to. In the car, when she sped around the highway, she felt like she had returned to the past and was back to being the brash and arrogant Xing Jiuan. However, when she got out of the car and saw Mu Qing, she became timid again.

After returning to her room, she did not do anything. She felt especially tired and went to bed after washing up.

“President, the Third Miss of the Huo family is here.” The receptionist had called, and Lu Zhichen’s personal assistant relayed this message to him.

Lu Zhichen’s expression turned cold. “I will not meet her.”

His personal assistant looked at his unhappy expression and acknowledged his decision.

The Third Miss of the Huo family, Huo Chulan, was pretty, elegant, and charming. She was truly the daughter of a wealthy family.

However, this young lady was too presumptuous when it came to pursuing her love interest.

For some reason, the Huo family was very indulgent toward her.

However, every member in this generation of the Huo family had the word “Jin” in their names. She was the only exception.

But it didn’t seem right to say that she wasn’t favored either.

The Huo family was very protective of this lady.
