"I want to ask Mr. Mu to help investigate that matter!"
"Do you have a suspect?"
"Yes! Zhang Hongyun!"
In the boss’s office, their conversation was extrely concise.
Mu Yichen sat behind the desk, lowered his head in thought, then looked up at her: "Go find Zhao Huai, just say I sent you, and have him help you investigate this matter."
"Find Zhao Huai?"
Yang Qin was puzzled, thinking she misheard.
"Yeah! Aren’t you quite close with him?"
Mu Yichen looked at her confused expression, rembering Zhao Huai ntioning she had told him about his twelve stitches.
"Alright!"
Yang Qin nodded in agreent as she faced Mu Yichen’s cold gaze, then turned to leave.
After she went out, she stood at his office door without hurrying away, pondering and glancing back at the cold, solid door, wondering why she felt a vague sense of misjudgnt.
Could Mu Yichen have anticipated...
Yang Qin was uncertain and didn’t have the leisure to verify, because finding out who was the one causing her trouble was now the most crucial matter.
Because of Mu Yichen’s words and having a suspect, Zhao Huai imdiately found soone to discreetly start the investigation for her.
——
At five in the afternoon, Mu Yichen called Qin Mu: "What ti is Mrs. Mu coming to pick up her husband from work?"
Qin Mu was already on the way to pick him up, speaking on speakerphone: "I’ll be downstairs at your office building in ten minutes, can you co down now?"
"I’m delayed here due to a eting, co up and wait for for a bit."
Mu Yichen said thoughtfully.
Qin Mu considered and replied: "I’d rather not co up."
"Co on up!"
He brushed the back of his head, lightly tousled his hair, and spoke persuasively.
"Ah, alright then!"
Qin Mu hung up the phone, understanding what Mu Yichen ant, but she really didn’t want to go upstairs.
For so reason, ever since that morning after the call with Yang Qin, she hadn’t wanted to face Yang Qin.
She truly disliked it.
After arriving at his office building and parking the car, Qin Mu went up the steps and inside.
"Good evening, Madam!"
People at the entrance who recognized her greeted her, she smiled and nodded, continuing forward, greeting anyone who spoke to her until she was alone in the elevator, where her expression reverted to calm.
After getting upstairs, Qin Mu didn’t see Yang Qin, whose seat was empty, so she headed directly towards Mu Yichen’s office.
As she was about to open the door, reaching out her hand, it opened first from the inside, and instinctively she looked up to see Yang Qin.
"Madam!"
Yang Qin was startled and quickly lowered her head to greet.
"Mm!"
Qin Mu softly acknowledged, barely looking at Yang Qin, only addressing the person behind the desk: "Do you still have a eting?"
"Oh, it’s canceled!"
Mu Yichen stood to find her.
Qin Mu waited at the doorway, not stepping inside, apathetically glancing at Yang Qin who stood by not moving.
Yang Qin seed to snap out of a daze and hurriedly walked out with her head down.
Qin Mu sighed lightly in frustration, giving Mu Yichen a cold glare as he reached the doorway, then they both walked towards the elevator.
"You’ve hurt your arm, and now you need to pick you up at the office door, what if it were your leg?"
Qin Mu questioned Mu Yichen at the elevator, her tone indifferent with a hint of irritation.
"If it were my leg injured, I’d stay ho and not work, or have you stay by my side, considering so personal matters need attending."
His hand was on her shoulder, speaking to her with a hint of mischief and flirtation.
Qin Mu shook her head knowingly, entering the elevator as soon as it opened.
She didn’t look back, aware that Yang Qin was gazing over, and as she entered she stood aside and closed the elevator.
"Are you very busy with your secretary?"
As the elevator descended halfway, Qin Mu broke the awkward silence within.
Mu Yichen looked at her, noticing her mood was off monts ago, he finally understood—it was because of Yang Qin.
"She was asking to sign so docunts."
Mu Yichen explained.
Qin Mu laughed softly, refraining from further inquiries.
Mu Yichen chuckled too, seeing the distrust in her eyes.
She had been angry since yesterday because Yang Qin called to show concern for him.
He used to long for Qin Mu to be jealous, but now, he felt both love and hate; her jealousy showed she cared, but her suspicion made him uneasy.
