"Got it!"
Qin Mu raised her eyebrow, looking quite shrewd.
Mu Yichen looked at her helplessly.
"Bring a bottle of wine over here. Since Yichen is here today, let’s have a few drinks together."
Auntie ca to serve the dishes when Qin Haiming slightly turned and ntioned it.
"But you’ve been drinking herbal dicine lately, and the doctor advised against alcohol."
Auntie dutifully reminded him.
Qin Mu and Mu Yichen were watching and listening, then exchanged a glance. Naturally, Mu Yichen couldn’t say much about this, but Qin Mu was different.
"Then don’t drink. How about having so soup? I saw Auntie made a pot of soup. Why not pour the soup into wine glasses and drink it like wine?"
Qin Mu’s eyes were sparkling with mischief, making Qin Haiming frown, "You cheeky girl! Who drinks soup out of a wine glass as if it’s wine?"
"Who doesn’t? I do!"
Qin Mu suddenly rembered the ti in Paris when Mu Yichen wouldn’t let her drink alcohol and threw out all her liquor at her apartnt. Yet, she was keen on pretending to drink like an adult, so she poured chicken soup into a wine glass.
However, she wasn’t about to explain this to anyone else, or else...
"When did you do that? Why didn’t I know?"
Mu Yichen was sitting opposite her today and looked up to see her.
"There are lots of things you don’t know!"
Qin Mu said, giving him a look as if to say, "You think you know everything, don’t you?"
Mu Yichen: "..."
"In Paris? Seems like you two had quite the life over there."
Qin Haiming looked at them with lowered brows and comnted.
"It was indeed exciting, living thrillingly every day."
Qin Mu said, suddenly feeling a little bittersweet in her heart, as she raised her eyes to look at Qin Haiming.
Qin Haiming also felt a jolt in his heart.
"But it’s always better to endure hardships when you’re young rather than when you’re old. My later years should be quite good."
Qin Mu realized the conversation was straying and quickly brought it back.
"Of course! With Dad and Yichen, your future will definitely be bright!"
Qin Mu originally wanted to say more, but after hearing Qin Haiming’s words, she felt a surge of emotions inside her, leaving her speechless.
Mu Yichen smiled as he watched Qin Mu, noticing that her eyes were avoiding sothing.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Qin Mu looked him in the eye and said, "Why are you just watching instead of eating?"
Mu Yichen had no choice but to lower his head and eat.
Seeing how they were getting along so well made Qin Haiming feel much better. Recently, there had always been blooming lilies at ho. Thinking about this, Qin Haiming looked at Qin Mu and asked, "Have you been asking Auntie to buy flowers for the house?"
"Yes!"
Qin Mu recalled this and oddly felt a slight twinge of guilt.
"It’s nice to have so flowers at ho. Uncle Wang said it feels very warm recently."
Qin Haiming lowered his head to drink his soup. Qin Mu didn’t look at him, but she understood what he ant, so she only responded with an "Oh."
The al beca very pleasant afterward, and as the rain poured down heavily outside, Qin Haiming didn’t dare ask them to stay the night for fear of rejection. Since they weren’t in a hurry to leave, Qin Haiming asked about Bian Jingwen.
"You don’t need to worry about her anymore. Her boss had lunch with today and has already expressed her stance. I feel it’s genuine."
Qin Mu thought for a mont before replying to him.
"Oh?"
Qin Haiming looked at her, puzzled.
.
"W’s boss said it was because I am your daughter, the young mistress of the Mu Family, that she chose to side with . She didn’t stop Bian Jingwen from challenging because she knew Bian Jingwen wouldn’t defeat ."
Qin Mu brought up what they discussed at noon.
Qin Haiming nodded, "So that’s how it is! This woman is smart, but it’s always wise to be cautious around others, right?"
Qin Mu nodded.
"Sigh! But this girl’s heart is probably too harsh! You two should really be careful!"
Qin Haiming earnestly advised them.
"Don’t worry, after you called yesterday, I already arranged for soone to be with Mumu."
Mu Yichen explained to him.
Qin Haiming slowly nodded, "That’s good! For soone who wants to stand tall, they must endure trials and hardships. So Mumu, the people and events you’ve encountered over the years are rely stepping stones for you. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Qin Haiming knew she was insightful and didn’t elaborate further.
Later, as the rain outside got heavier, Mu Yichen glanced outside and then at Qin Haiming, "Does the guest room have air conditioning?"
Qin Mu and Qin Haiming looked up at him simultaneously, both surprised.
