Qin Mu poured her so tea, her lips carrying the effortless joy of being with friends.
So, in her next life, she would still be that man’s woman.
Indeed, love really makes people want to live again, even if it’s a life filled with hardship.
"How’s Rongcheng lately? How’s the competition with that Miss Bian going?"
"Not yet settled on the battlefield, but privately, of course I’m winning."
Qin Mu’s confidence was practically identical to Mu Yichen’s.
"Being with your husband, you’re covered in his aura, even that confident flair is exactly the sa."
"Is it?"
Qin Mu asked sowhat skeptically.
"Whether you realize it or not, the rest of us watching from the sidelines can see it quite clearly."
Wen Runuan reminded her.
"Oh! If that’s the case, it’s probably because I’ve been with him since childhood, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to change even if I want to."
Qin Mu shrugged.
"Then don’t change, there’s really nothing wrong with it—this confident attitude is pretty great."
Wen Runuan said as she emphatically nodded to herself.
"Then I won’t change it! But this mustn’t be discovered by Mr. Mu, otherwise he’ll just get all proud again."
Qin Mu said as she instinctively glanced around, mainly because there were spies for Mr. Mu all around, and what they said today might soon be relayed to his ears.
"How about Mr. Mu? He won’t be upset about you having lunch with , will he?"
"Why would he be upset about us having lunch? He doesn’t interfere with my freedom to make friends, and he’s out of town today."
Qin Mu said the latter part like a child finally freed from their parents, ready to take a breather, her delight almost surprising.
"He’s out of town and you’re that happy?"
Wen Runuan asked her.
"I’m just relaxing! "
Qin Mu actually felt she could unwind ntally and physically when he wasn’t around.
But to others’ ears, it might not sound quite like that. Wen Runuan, with an even more suggestive look, asked her: "Seems like Mr. Mu’s demands are high? Struggling a bit to keep up?"
Qin Mu’s eye twitched awkwardly: "Haha, you’re overthinking it!"
"I am? From my perspective, it’s exactly like that!"
Wen Runuan said as she glanced at her lovely neck, and Qin Mu reflexively raised her hand to cover her neck.
"See! But given Mr. Mu’s size, it’s normal that you get tired."
Wen Runuan took a sip of tea.
Qin Mu felt she said just a few words, but looking at Wen Miss, wouldn’t Wen Miss’s mind already have so image in it?
Size?
"I ran into Li Yu at the film city; his sister was with him, busy running around."
After the dishes were served, Wen Runuan ntioned casually while scooping herself so fish soup.
"Are they together?"
Qin Mu asked with interest.
"Seems not yet, but Li Man is handling so matters for his movie, so they’re probably together often."
Wen Runuan sniffed the milky white fish soup, couldn’t help but sigh: "I haven’t cooked at ho since I ca back, only thinking about this al."
Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh.
"But lately I’ve beco more and more puzzled by that kid Li Yu, he seems to have multiple personalities—at tis he’s an adorable little brother, at tis he’s the film emperor, and at tis he’s a boss and producer, navigating seamlessly between these roles, the key is those roles have remarkably different personalities, do you get it?"
Wen Runuan looked up at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu rembered when Li Yu first visited their studio to have her design a dress, he smiled innocently, but after knowing him longer, realized he’s a ticulous person, doing seemingly cold things to avoid being hurt by more terrifying outcos.
"Yeah!"
After lunch, Qin Mu and Wen Runuan went their separate ways. Qin Mu stopped her car by the flower and bird market, intending to buy a pot of flowers, but ended up buying a bird as well.
Auntie quickly ca to the door to greet her, took the begonia she bought which had just blood, saw the bird cage in her hand covered with a blue cloth, and curiously followed Qin Mu: "Why did the young lady buy a bird cage ho?"
"There’s a little parrot inside, the director can play with it when he’s free."
Qin Mu said, placing the bird cage by the living room window.
"Oh, there’s a parrot inside."
Auntie placed the begonia on the table by the window, then uncovered the cloth, and the beautiful little parrot imdiately hopped around, chirping: "Hello! Hello! Hello!"
"Oh wow! It’s so cute!"
Auntie’s heart softened at the sight.
"Is the director coming ho for dinner tonight?"
Qin Mu bent over to tease it, then turned to ask Auntie.
Auntie also stood up: "He might not return tonight, want to give him a call? Knowing you’re visiting, the director will surely co back no matter how busy."
"Better not disturb his work, we saw each other just a few days ago; I just stopped by the flower and bird market, thought it looked fun and brought it back to keep him company, otherwise he’d be so lonely."
Qin Mu said the last few words as if sharing a secret, but her eyes were completely playful.
Auntie knew well of her intentions, so she laughed and nodded: "Okay okay! Then no call for the director, yesterday he ca back with a little sothing, said it’s a gift for Young Master Chengcheng, let fetch it."
"Great!"
Qin Mu agreed, then wandered aimlessly around the living room.
Later, she curiously stood at Qin Haiming’s room door, wanting to enter but feeling a bit nervous.
But if she couldn’t dare enter when he wasn’t there, it’d be even harder when he was.
In the end, she just stood at the door for a while, fiddling with her phone, her expression relaxed after so tension, hearing Auntie erge from downstairs, she turned and went downstairs.
After leaving the Qin Family, Qin Mu returned to the Mu Family, the elders would be abroad for a few more days, rumors said the mother-daughter duo with the little girl were shopping frenziedly, even Huanhuan had bought several pretty bags and shoes.
Sitting on the sofa for a while, she received a photo from Mu Qingxin, Huanhuan dressed super fashionable like a little model, walking in the mall as if on a runway, looking professionally trained as a stylish model.
That night Qin Haiming called her, standing by the table teasing the parrot: "Why suddenly bring a bird? Uncle Wang is jealous, says this parrot dethroned him."
Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh at his comnt, stirring the fruit salad on her plate: "Tell Uncle Wang, the parrot can’t drive, it’ll never take his place."
"True! Next ti, give a call when you visit; let’s have a al together."
"Sure! But don’t we often dine together?"
Qin Mu agreed, pondering and questioning, her bright eyes full of confusion.
Before hanging up, the corner of Qin Haiming’s eyes was happily curved. As Qin Mu thought more of him, the house gradually had more things brought by Qin Mu, he felt a return to the past, when a girl in a white dress excitedly erged from the car, seeing him at the door, she eagerly ran to him, calling him dad, hugging him tightly.
After dinner, Qin Mu waited for Mu Yichen until eleven before going upstairs, then ssaged him: "Can’t wait, going to sleep now! Don’t disturb when you return!"
——
The next day!
When she woke up after seven, the other side had not been slept in.
