Chapter 547: Food and Lust, Human Nature

The seasonal change had already passed, and the nights that turned into autumn were always so warm that the windows were fogged up, not to mention that the air conditioner in the room was also on.
Murong Qiao met Huo Yichen’s gaze and suddenly had the urge to reach out and gently touch the glass.
To the left and right, a curved line was drawn. It was a simple smile.
When she finished the last stroke, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but laugh. When Huo Yichen saw this smile, he couldn’t help but lean over.
“President?” Ye Zhen looked over.
Seeing Huo Yichen move, Ye Zhen tensed up, thinking that the President had some thoughts or was not satisfied with the cooperation.
Xu Zhuo and the person-in-charge also looked over.
Huo Yichen stood up. ”1’11 leave the rest to you. I still have something on.”
He handed the matter to Ye Zhen and no longer had the mood to stay. He strode out the door.
There was an indescribable urgency in his footsteps, as if he couldn’t wait.
Ye Zhen was a little confused by his President’s actions, but since the other party had no other intentions, he turned around and became serious again. Then, he talked to Xu Zhuo about the cooperation.
“Ah Chen!” Murong Qiao stood at the door of the building and waved when she saw him come out.
Huo Yichen quickened his pace. The coldness on his face disappeared when he saw Murong Qiao, replaced by a softness on his eyebrows.
He reached out and wrapped Murong Qiao’s red fingertips in his palm. He blew gently and rubbed them, wanting to transfer the warmth in his body to the other party. Then, his gaze landed on Murong Qiao’s thin clothes and he frowned.
For the sake of her image on the show today, Murong Qiao wore a medium-length dress designed by her Fourth Brother. However, at night, she inevitably lost her temperature.
Huo Yichen took off his suit jacket. “It’s cold at night. Put it on.”
“Why are you here?” Murong Qiao asked with a smile.
She allowed Huo Yichen to put the coat on her. Then, she cooperated with his actions and wrapped the coat that was still warm around her.
“We’re discussing a collaboration,” Huo Yichen said concisely.
After taking off his suit jacket, Huo Yichen, who was only wearing a white shirt, revealed his thin waistline. The tie that originally bound the collar of his shirt was also tied diagonally. After removing his abstinence, Murong Qiao couldn t help but take a few more glances.
Huo Yichen saw this action. “You like this?”
He asked deliberately.
Murong Qiao coughed and hurriedly retracted her thoughts.
“It’s human nature to eat and lust.” She said this seriously.
Huo Yichen couldn’t help but deepen his smile, as if he was happy about Murong Qiao’s honesty.
“The show should be over by now. Aren’t you going back? Or are you busy? I’ll accompany you.” Huo Yichen glanced at the time.
Only then did Murong Qiao remember about the chauffeur. “I was about to
leave when I suddenly saw you here.”
“The chauffeur should be waiting for me outside.”
She took out her phone and took a look. As expected, she had already received the news that the chauffeur had arrived at the door more than ten minutes ago. Huo Yichen nodded in understanding. “Then I’ll send you off.”
“Then the cooperation—”
“Ye Town will discuss the cooperation.” Huo Yichen held her hand and walked towards the main door.
Huo Yichen didn’t feel any psychological pressure when he said that he would throw the cooperation to his special assistant.
After all, in his heart, Murong Qiao was more important than anything else. The two of them walked back side by side along the path Murong Qiao had come from. In the dark night, they stepped on the light from the street lamps. With every step, Murong Qiao watched as their figures overlapped because of their movements.
She suddenly felt that it was a little romantic.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Murong Qiao mentioned casually. “Or rather… I thought that you won’t appear in such a place.”
The variety show was completely unrelated to the President of the Huo Corporation.
“I’m just here to go through the motions. The Huo Corporation and its partners have a project and are looking for a program to advertise on,” Huo Yichen explained in a low voice.
Murong Qiao nodded and replied, “Then you’ve found the right person. I want to do my best for this show.”
“I also saw a good seedling in the past few days. He reminds me of the siblings I met at the bar previously. He seems to be very talented in musical instruments and composition.”
Murong Qiao shared her findings with Huo Yichen and thought about Jing Jianbai’s personality. If she had the chance to recruit him to CG, she might get along very well with Qu Xiu.
“A bar?” Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows.
Murong Qiao didn’t sense that something was wrong and continued, “When I went previously, I accidentally discovered—”
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped and looked at Huo Yichen, realizing that she had been distracted by him.
After all, the other party didn’t seem to know that she had gone to the bar previously.
Ahem, excuse me. It was An Nuo who pulled me there…” Murong Qiao explained.
Although it was An Nuo who brought her to meet the scumbag, Murong Qiao still subconsciously felt a little guilty when Huo Yichen suddenly discovered her sneaking to the bar.
Huo Yichen’s expression didn’t change. “You can bring me along next time.”
“Or call me to pick you up.”
He didn’t think that Murong Qiao’s actions were bad at all. However, the first thing he thought of was that it was too late. Murong Qiao and An Nuo might not be safe outside.
He was even more worried that they may encounter some people with ill intentions.
“Alright,” Murong Qiao agreed seriously.
They didn’t talk often, but the two of them said whatever they thought of.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked together. When they landed in Qiu Ze’s eyes behind, he looked at them for a long time.
Just now, Murong Qiao had left in a hurry. When Qiu Ze heard no more footsteps behind him, he realized that Murong Qiao had suddenly disappeared.
Not long after, he saw Murong Qiao in his vision again, but there was an additional person he found familiar.
For a moment, Qiu Ze couldn’t remember where he had seen the man beside Murong Qiao, but he subconsciously followed behind the two of them and observed them from a distance.
When the man sent Murong Qiao to a black car parked at the main entrance, Qiu Ze was afraid that the other party would realize that he was following him, so he could only walk past the other party and hail a taxi by the roadside.
He had an appointment with his roommates and Feng Duo to celebrate. If he didn’t go now, it would probably be too late.
But on Murong Qiao’s side…
Thinking of the other party’s attention on Jing Jianbai, Qiu Ze felt a little frustrated.
The venue of the celebration was a very good bar in the city center.
When Qiu Ze went over, there were already many empty wine bottles on the table. A few boys’ faces were already red as they started to talk drunkenly.
“Qiu Ze, why are you only here now-burp, we just said that we wanted to wait for you!” His roommate walked over soberly and placed her hand on his shoulder.
Qiu Ze smiled. “There was a traffic jam.”
He casually made an excuse to cover up his encounter with Murong Qiao. He couldn’t let anyone know.
In any case, it didn’t matter if he said anything to the drunkard. The other party would not pursue the matter carefully.
“Forget it, come over quickly. Feng Duo and the others are over there!” As expected, his roommate didn’t ask further.
When Qiu Ze heard Feng Duo’s name, he followed him and looked around at the surrounding people.
There were quite a lot of people this time, about 20 of them. Feng Duo must have booked a large private room first, so the people present were vaguely distributed around him..
