"What are you two doing?"
Just as they were at an impasse, several well-dressed young n arrived at the door.
Qin Mu turned around subconsciously and saw the familiar Helian Hao, which relaxed her a bit.
"When has Mr. Mu ever been so rough with girls? Let her go quickly!"
Helian Hao stepped forward to help Qin Mu out, freeing her from Mu Yichen’s clutches.
"Do you know why Mu Yichen brought you out to show you to his brothers?"
Helian Hao quietly asked Qin Mu as they walked behind the others.
"He only said I had to et you guys."
But it felt very bad.
She had agreed to co to get acquainted with his brothers, hoping to gain an advantage in her real estate business, but now it seed she needed to prioritize her own safety.
"Among the brothers, there’s an unspoken rule that if soone has a girlfriend, he has to bring her out for a al together."
Two won were whispering before taking the elevator. After hearing this, Qin Mu looked at Helian Hao with a stunned expression, and Helian Hao gave her a confirming glance.
At that mont, she felt a darkness in her mind, as if she would get lost.
If he had just introduced her as his girlfriend to his friends, it would have been alright, but if he carelessly let slip that they had secretly registered their marriage...
A big round table, ten people, the atmosphere was strangely eerie.
As soon as the dishes were served, everyone’s face fell, only Helian Hao and Qin Mu looked at each other, wondering what unpredictable event might occur, yet nothing happened.
It was just that soone suddenly called her "little sister-in-law", and Qin Mu looked in surprise at the person toasting her.
"Little sister-in-law, we’ve almost forgotten our childhood incidents, but from now on, with just one word from you, your brothers would walk through fire and water for you."
"Qinqin is three years younger than you. Aren’t you afraid that calling her ’little sister-in-law’ will shorten your lifespan?" Helian Hao teased.
"I’m scared indeed, but if I don’t call her that, I’m afraid brother Yichen will cripple !"
"If it’s not a bother, you can call Qin Mu."
If everyone sincerely wanted to get along, naturally it would be good for her. Qin Mu understood this clear distinction, so she was sincere.
"Ah Qin Mu, that we really can’t dare to call."
"How about we call you ’Qinqin’ like Xiaohao does, is that alright?"
About the nickna ’Qinqin’, in reality, close ones called it ’qin qin’, which ans ’dear’, but now...
"Is that okay?" Mu Yichen helped her with her food, squinting his eyes at the brother speaking across from him, seeming good-tempered but asking with an intimidating presence.
"Of course it’s not okay, the title ’little sister-in-law’ isn’t sothing we can just casually call out, heh heh."
Those who liked to hang out with him understood him well, and they were good at reading his mood and agreed with him accordingly. However, Qiao Yi, Jing Feng, and Jiang Zhiyuan, being of the sa age but more independent, had their own opinions.
The air conditioning was strong, and after a while, Helian Hao took off her coat. Beneath was a light blue dress that matched her understated elegance. But as soon as she took off her coat, Jing Feng subconsciously caught it and placed it behind her, making Qin Mu suspect that there was sothing going on between them.
"Do you want to take yours off?"
Mu Yichen asked the woman beside him quietly.
"Sure."
However, as Mu the manager earnestly helped her take it off halfway, his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of her sensuously open back.
His movents paused, and he put it back on her.
Everyone was watching them...
Qin Mu looked at him with a puzzled expression: What’s wrong?
"The weather’s cool, you should keep it on for now."
Qin Mu...
Everyone chose not to point it out, but the aning behind Mu Yichen bringing a girl to dine with them for the first ti was obvious.
"By the way, why didn’t Qing sister co? It feels like we are missing a backbone without her." Soone curiously asked.
Helian Hao glanced over there and asked with a smile, "What, are you still carrying a torch for our queen actress?"
"Heh heh, Xiaohao, don’t always joke about your brother," the boy two years older than her said shyly.
"She’s attending an event." Jing Feng said indifferently and then glanced at Mu Yichen and Qin Mu, but with Helian Hao in-between, Jing Feng felt for the first ti that the distance between him and his brother had grown by leagues.
Qin Mu could see Jing Feng’s hostility towards Mu Yichen but pretended not to notice and lowered her gaze.
"Shall we go to the restroom?" Jing Feng proposed to Mu Yichen.
The two gentlen put down their chopsticks and stood up to leave together.
As soon as they left, the others imdiately livened up. Helian Hao and Qin Mu introduced them one by one: "He used to chase after you when you were little, rember? Gongzhi Ping’an."
That na...
"He lives up to his na. He’s actually working in the police station now. If you have any issues in that area, feel free to reach out to him."
"Xiaohao’s right, you can co to for anything," Gongzhi Ping’an responded with a genuine smile.
Before the age of eight, she had almost forgotten her playmates, but if they could get reacquainted, it might not be worse than being tied together like in the past.
When the two n returned, they found everyone was playing a finger-guessing drinking ga, and Qin Mu, having taken off her jacket, was playing energetically with her long hair untied.
"What are you guys doing?"
Mr. Mu thought of her exposed back being seen by others and his face imdiately darkened.
"Finger guessing ga. Yichen, Xiaomu is incredibly good, but I’ll make sure she loses a round!" Jiang Zhiyuan was particularly excited.
The people at the table had already moved to one side; who was still eating?
They were all gathered there for the fun, Mu Yichen kicked Jiang Zhiyuan’s chair with annoyance.
"Ah!" Jiang Zhiyuan fell on the ground with a painful shout, and everyone imdiately scattered, growing silent out of guilt.
"Mu Yichen, what are you doing?"
Mu Yichen, however, ignored him, just taking Qin Mu by her slender wrist and putting her coat on her, then hugging her in his arms: "I make this clear, and I’ll only say it once, this woman, you all need to show her absolute respect."
