Qin Mu looked up at him. She had already accompanied him to their company’s annual event, where his family would attend, but other events, she would habitually avoid if possible.
"Because I want you to go!"
Mu Yichen said to her, lowering his head.
Mu Yichen always thought he was quite high-profile about his relationship with Qin Mu, until their recent cold war after she went to Paris; he then realized he had actually been too low-key.
So many people still wanted to send won his way; these won were nothing but trouble to him. Qin Mu had just returned, and trouble had already co knocking. Hence, he decided to publicly flaunt their love.
"Sigh! I’m just afraid you’ll be too high-profile! The socialites in this city already look down on , constantly finding ways to give trouble. Take Lu Fei, for example. We have no grievances against each other. If she really married Yang Bo, we might even sit together for a al, right? But look, she ran to my store to cause trouble, all for Wu Jiaojiao."
The more Qin Mu thought about it, the more frustrated she felt; she never had a personality to provoke anyone.
Yesterday afternoon, Wen Runuan ca to her studio for tea and brought up those two won.
"Hmm! Those two girls aren’t worth your trouble. If you et again in the future, there’s no need to be too polite; show your strength."

After breakfast, Qin Mu went to drop off Huanhuan at school, then drove to her studio.
Xiaoi was dropped off by Zhao Huai, and it was already past nine. Just as she got out of the car, she saw another vehicle pulling into the parking lot, and a girl erged from it.
Xiaoi stood by the car, watching the girl, and couldn’t help but frown.
"Oh no!"
Zhao Huai recognized Lu Fei, and after seeing Lu Fei enter the store with her head down, couldn’t help but express aloud.
"What’s wrong? Do you know her?"
"The woman who was just jilted by Yang Bo."
Zhao Huai said to Xiaoi, raising his eyes to look at her.
Xiaoi recognized the woman because last night, in the middle of the night, Zhao Huai had told her about it.
Last night, Zhao Huai had celebrated with Yang Bo, though Brother Yichen hadn’t been present, he was the one who paid the bill.
"Then I need to hurry inside; let’s not let her hurt our Qin Qin."
"Are you silly? Is our Qin Qin a block of wood? To be swayed at will?"
Zhao Huai said.
"What should we do then? If things get physical, the two of us can surely handle her."
Xiaoi said, raising her chin to demonstrate her confidence.
"If things get physical, given that the studio is full of your people, she surely won’t have a good ti. I reckon she’s not here to fight; let’s go up together."
Zhao Huai thought for a mont, then opened the door and stepped out.
He had been drinking till almost midnight last night before returning ho. Now he had to accompany her to see another woman; Xiaoi’s gaze imdiately beca displeased.
"What’s up?"
Seeing Xiaoi’s displeasure after stepping out, Zhao Huai asked her.
"Nothing! Just curious if you’re going because you think the young lady is pretty?"
"I’m going to make things simpler, huh?"
Zhao Huai hugged her shoulder, coaxing her as if she were a child.
Xiaoi was sowhat skeptical, but having a man by her side certainly made her bolder, so she stopped doubting him, and they entered the studio together.
By that ti, Lu Fei was already in Qin Mu’s office, and naturally, Qin Mu was there too.
However, Qin Mu was looking at materials from Jian Yan’s office and had just returned to her own office, while Lu Fei was already inside.
Moreover, her office floor was covered with docunts.
The shock in Qin Mu’s eyes lasted just a few seconds. Upon seeing Lu Fei, she regained her composure, lowered her eyes as she continued walking while holding materials.
Lu Fei saw her being completely unresponsive, which fueled her anger even more. She squatted to pick up a sheet of drawing paper, threatening to tear it.
"If you dare to destroy one of my drawings today, I’ll tell Yang Bo to have you arrested."
"Ha! You’re trying to scare with Yang Bo?"
"Scare you? Didn’t you know he’s a man of integrity?"
Qin Mu’s voice was low and sowhat sharp, questioning.
Lu Fei felt a shiver run through her heart, but she tried hard to swallow it down, trembling, she raised her chin, "You ruined my marriage. If I tear up a few of your drawings, what can you do?"
As she spoke, Lu Fei exerted force on a drawing sheet.
Xiaoi and Zhao Huai arrived and saw that scene. Lu Fei intentionally did this in front of Qin Mu, standing not far from her, letting Qin Mu watch her ripping apart the work.
Lu Fei found it satisfying, while Qin Mu frowned.
