"Not having any dinner? Just eating fruit?"
Zhao Huai looked at Xiaoi, who was only eating fruit, and asked.
"Yeah! My appetite hasn’t been great lately. Every sumr is my weight loss season."
Xiaoi said, a bit smugly. After all, for so people, losing weight is a difficult task regardless of the season.
"But I still prefer the chubby version of you; it’s more comfortable to hug."
"Oh? You’re so annoying!"
After hearing that, Xiaoi quickly ca to her senses and imdiately covered her face with her hand, feeling utterly embarrassed.
Zhao Huai couldn’t help but laugh and offered her so food: "Have so more!"
When Qin Mu ca back from dinner with a client, she saw that scene. The two of them were sitting opposite each other on the couch without any intimate gestures, but seeing their slightly reserved yet beaming smiles gave her a special feeling.
When Zhao Huai looked up and saw Qin Mu standing diagonally opposite, he subconsciously straightened up: "Would you like to join us for a bite?"
"Of course! Since you two are treating this place as your romantic spot, I must seize the chance to crash it."
Qin Mu said as she walked over with her bag. Xiaoi, upon seeing it was Qin Mu, imdiately turned her head to look out the window, afraid that Qin Mu would see her blushing face from being teased by Zhao Huai and then make fun of her.
Qin Mu deliberately sat next to her, bending over to try and look at Xiaoi. Xiaoi’s neck was about to twist off, and Qin Mu held back her laughter, sat back properly, and then took the chopsticks offered by Zhao Huai: "Thank you!"
"Didn’t enjoy your dinner with the client?"
Zhao Huai asked her.
"Yeah! We had Japanese food, and I’m really not used to it!"
Qin Mu replied, looking at the food in the box. Although there wasn’t much, the color coordination was quite nice, so she picked so to eat.
"I’m not used to Japanese food either!"
Xiaoi finally decided to sit up straight, bowed her head, and told Qin Mu.
Qin Mu didn’t respond to her, but when she turned and saw the fruit platter in front of her, she asked: "Can I have so of your fruit?"
"Sure!"
Xiaoi imdiately pushed it between the two of them.
Qin Mu then put down her chopsticks and started eating the fruit.
"Should’ve ordered two servings!"
Zhao Huai said, seeing how much they both enjoyed the fruit.
"Yep! Next ti, order two. Anyway, since you’re dating one of my people in my studio, you should bribe a bit."
Qin Mu nodded, ate so fruit, and then said: "Just ask Xiaoi to help bring them to my office."
Xiaoi couldn’t help but turn to glance at Qin Mu, her expression seeming to say, "Why are you picking on my man?"
"No problem, I’ll bring so over tomorrow."
Zhao Huai said generously.
Qin Mu didn’t expect Zhao Huai to have such a good temper and was quite surprised. If it had been Helian Hao asking Mu Yichen for help, Yichen would probably glare at her with those pitch-black eyes.
As soon as Zhao Huai left in the afternoon, Xiaoi ran upstairs to find Qin Mu to complain. Qin Mu was sitting on the couch with her coffee, looking at model photos. When she looked up and saw Xiaoi coming up with a pitiful expression, hesitating to speak, she asked: "What’s with that face?"
"Why are you picking on Zhao Huai!"
Xiaoi murmured and sat beside her, pouting.
Over the years, it was the first ti Qin Mu saw Xiaoi like this, really ’not cute’ at all.
"How did I pick on him?"
Qin Mu asked curiously and continued to look down at the photos.
"Zhao Huai is one of our own now, do you rember that or not."
Xiaoi muttered softly to her, and then lowered her head to look at the dozens of photos of beautiful won on the coffee table.
"Yeah, I rember!"
Qin Mu didn’t know what she was getting at and was more focused on selecting models.
"Then stop saying those things in the future! He might get embarrassed!"
Xiaoi, seeing that Qin Mu wasn’t seriously talking to her, reached out to tug on Qin Mu’s clothes.
Qin Mu had to put down the photos in her hand and turned to look at Xiaoi: "Sweetie, didn’t I just ask him to buy another portion of fruit? Look how tight you’re being, you’re not even married yet and already worried about spending his money? If you do get married, would you even let him spend a single cent?"
Upon hearing "getting married," Xiaoi’s face instantly turned beet red.
Qin Mu couldn’t help but press her hand on Xiaoi’s shoulder, resting her forehead on the back of her hand and chuckling, thinking Xiaoi was just too adorable.
Xiaoi’s face was so red as if it could bleed. Knowing full well that Qin Mu was teasing her, she couldn’t find the words to respond, and later, unable to hold it in, covered her face with her hands and chuckled to herself, never thinking she’d turn out this way after falling in love.
"Xiaoi!"
"Hmm?"
"I almost can’t bear to let you get married!"
"Huh? You—you’re not planning to keep here forever, are you? Even if I get married, I’ll still be happy to do the work for you!"
"Did Zhao Huai propose to you?"
Qin Mu looked at her in surprise.
"..."
Xiaoi was instantly dumbfounded.

In the evening, Qin Mu accompanied Mu Yichen to attend the Entrepreneurs Association’s cocktail party, dressed to impress!
