Mu Yichen never felt that there was anything between him and his wife that needed soone else to convey. After they all left, he carefully closed the lid of the box again. This ti, his fingers gently caressed the four words on the corner of the lid.
Mrs. Mu’s Work!
Mu Yichen’s sharp, deep eyes slightly squinted as his thumb gently rubbed over those words, as if he was caressing soone’s face, with undeniable tenderness.
Later, the expression in his eyes grew more and more satisfied, and a faint smile hung at the corner of his lips as he picked up his phone to send a ssage to Mrs. Mu.
Qin Mu had gone to the restaurant with colleagues to eat. She was biting into a piece of sweet and sour pork, unsure of what to do because it was too hot. Seeing Mu Yichen’s ssage co in, she guessed it was from him, so she gently placed the pork back on her plate, then grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth before picking up her phone.
"It’s rare for Mrs. Mu not to break her promise. Why didn’t you deliver it in person?"
Qin Mu read it and replied: "Mrs. Mu is busy and thinks it’s more ceremonious this way!"
Mu Yichen didn’t want to expose her little intentions. After seeing her ssage, he asked: "Are you eating?"
"Yes, I am!"
She attached a photo along with her response.
"Your husband is hungry too! You heartless woman, are you eating with male colleagues again?"
Mu Yichen opened the photo and saw a man’s hand across from her.
"Gonna eat first! Don’t forget to pick up tonight!"
Qin Mu sent her reply back.
"As you command!"
Mu Yichen, holding his phone, reclined in the chair with his legs crossed. After sending her a ssage, he also tidied up a bit, preparing to have lunch.
However, Mu Yichen didn’t expect the restaurant to be so lively today. He was going to eat in a private room, but on the way, he saw the area near the window blocked and crowded. He vaguely heard soone calling for Zhao Huai, calling soone sister-in-law?
Zhao Huai brought Chen Xiaoi to eat?
Mu Yichen entered the private room and closed the door. Qiao Yi was sitting there playing with his phone, waiting for him. Most of the dishes were already laid out on the table.
"Zhao Huai’s girlfriend is definitely on a mission for personal gain under the guise of business."
Qiao Yi ntioned as he put down his phone.
"So, it really is them being surrounded outside?"
"Isn’t it obvious! It’s clear that Chen Xiaoi is there to check on him; when did Zhao Huai ever eat separately from us?"
Qiao Yi analyzed, Zhao Huai probably understood Xiaoi’s thoughts, so he let Xiaoi witness everything firsthand.
Mu Yichen had no comnt, but he always felt that Zhao Huai was seriously dating Xiaoi.
It’s a good thing, Zhao Huai is at the age where he should settle down, and he has always been pursuing a stable life these years.

Xiaoi returned to the studio happily after lunch, and even bought pastries for everyone on the way, feeling extrely joyful. As she walked in with boxes overflowing in her hands, she announced: "I’m back!"
She was as cheerful as a little sparrow returning ho full of joy after wandering around.
"I brought you all so treats!"
Even her voice brimd with happiness.
The family had just sat down and still seed a bit preoccupied with eating, but hearing her words, they quickly gathered around.
Xiaoi took the last piece of cake upstairs, where Qin Mu was about to take a nap when Xiaoi pushed open her room door: "I brought you cake!"
"Looks like today’s lunch was quite fruitful!"
Qin Mu bounced up from the bed.
"Yes! According to my investigation, although several young ladies seem to like him, since he rarely works on-site, they don’t have much opportunity to get close to him. So even called ’little sister-in-law’ after Zhao Huai introduced as his official girlfriend, haha!"
Xiaoi sat beside her, gave her the cake, and started chatting about her experience in their office building, feeling that her previously restless heart had finally cald down after this visit.
"Yes, it seems our Xiaoi is indeed at the age to get married!"
Qin Mu said while eating the cake, then turned her head to look at her.
Xiaoi suddenly fell silent, shyly biting her lower lip: haha!
Qin Mu chuckled, thinking, why are you laughing?
"Do you rember when we first ca to Rongcheng?"
Xiaoi suddenly asked her.
Qin Mu thought about it and nodded.
"Back then, I just wanted to stay with you for a while, wait for you to settle down, and then I’d go back to Paris to continue with JY. But I didn’t expect to stay for so many years, let alone et a boyfriend here."
Xiaoi shared her past thoughts with her.
"Back then, when you ca here with , were you nervous too? Leaving a familiar place, familiar people, familiar malls, and suddenly arriving in a strange city, we weren’t as close then as we are now!"
