Qin Mu quietly watched her daughter fall asleep again, feeling her even breathing, then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Back when Huanhuan was just born, the two of them were in that newly bought house. Qin Mu suddenly felt different from before; the house was no longer cold and empty, nor was the bed.
Unknowingly, the night passed, and Qin Mu kind of wanted Mu Yichen to co ho.
Yet, the next day she just went to the studio to work as usual.
When Lu Fei ca looking for her, she was helping Mu Yichen make clothes. There was a nice sewing machine placed against the wall of her studio.
Because the machine was continuously running, she didn’t hear Xiaoi telling her soone was there, and by the ti she noticed, Lu Fei had been standing behind her for a while.
Qin Mu turned her head to look at the graceful woman standing behind her, who was carrying a pink bag and holding a box.
Qin Mu thought to herself, it certainly wasn’t a gift for her.
"I’m here to apologize! A formal apology!"
Lu Fei contemplated, feeling that an apology might not be appropriate.
"You just need to apologize formally to the other store staff; I don’t need it!"
Qin Mu said softly.
"My grandpa told I should get along with you well, saying you’re one of the more sensible and reputable won in Rongcheng for your age."
Lu Fei continued, her voice not loud. After finishing, she couldn’t help but glance at Qin Mu a few more tis. Qin Mu wore a pretty little suit, looking very capable, yet doing a worker’s job.
"Do designers also need to make clothes?"
"If you pay more, I could make them for you too!"
Qin Mu sat sideways in the wooden chair, saying softly.
"Really?"
Lu Fei asked her in disbelief, her big eyes always holding a wary expression towards others.
"In theory, yes, but recently I’m not taking any jobs."
As Qin Mu spoke, she stood up and gestured slightly with her hand, "Sit on the sofa!"
"Okay!"
Lu Fei felt Qin Mu was lowering her status a bit, but couldn’t say much. Her grandpa said that if she wanted a good future in Rongcheng, it was best to stay close to Qin Mu, but her grandpa surely didn’t know that Qin Mu never used her family’s position and reputation to do things; even now, she’s just a designer.
"Would you like sothing to drink?"
Qin Mu asked her.
"Drinks, juice, anything will do!"
Lu Fei thought for a mont, then smiled and held out the box she was carrying, "This is for you."
"If I don’t accept it, would that make things difficult for you?"
Qin Mu asked her, looking up slowly to take it.
"Yes! I would look really bad! I wanted to tell you, I didn’t know Wu Jiaojiao would be that kind of person. She used my naivety to trouble you. I originally thought you were a bad woman."
Lu Fei looked at her, her gaze still sharp and glaring.
Qin Mu thought her eyes were big, but couldn’t compare to the person in front of her.
"Hold on a mont! If there are drinks in the fridge, grab one."
Qin Mu said, making a call to Xiaoi, who usually made coffee or tea for people. For soone to want a drink, it was a relief, so she brought up a can of Coke.
After Xiaoi gave the Coke to Lu Fei, she curiously looked at her, a bit unhappy, "You’re not here to cause trouble, are you? Let tell you, our studio is least afraid of trouble; with only you, we have so many people here, you better think carefully about what to say and do."
Qin Mu didn’t expect Xiaoi to be so vigilant and coughed lightly, trying not to laugh.
"I’m here to apologize to Qin Mu, not to cause trouble!"
Lu Fei explained.
Xiaoi...
"Then I’ll head out first. If sothing cos up, just call , I’ll be on standby downstairs."
Before leaving, Xiaoi whispered in Qin Mu’s ear.
Qin Mu didn’t say anything. After Xiaoi left, Qin Mu finally said, "Our studio team is quite united."
"Actually, I brought bodyguards, all retired from special forces."
Lu Fei said quietly.
Qin Mu suddenly felt very awkward; was this coming to apologize?
"But they are following my grandpa’s orders, not mine, so rest assured, they won’t cause any harm to the studio."
Lu Fei explained.
"Should I be thanking you then?"
Qin Mu awkwardly bantered with her.
"I certainly didn’t an it that way. If there’s anyone to thank, it should be thanking you. According to Yang Bo, it was your husband who discovered Wu Jiaojiao’s father’s misconduct towards and had Yang Bo pass a ssage to my grandpa."
