Jian Yan still smiled, but Qin Mingzhu thought for a mont, then chuckled twice towards him, with a bit of awe, a bit of nervousness, and frustration.
"Miss Qin, if you have sothing to wait for Qin Mu, you can sit down and wait."
"No, no need!"
Qin Mingzhu laughed, took another uncertain look at him, slightly lowered her head in an unnatural way, and suddenly said after a long thought, "Ha, I heard you have a good relationship with Qin Mu, is that true?"
"Not good, how could I be her master?"
Jian Yan was always in control, sitting there looking at the girl who was performing for him. In fact, how could he not see through what the girl was thinking in her heart? He could clearly understand every little expression she made.
"Is that so? Qin Mu is quite attractive, there must be many n who like her, right?"
"You are also pretty good-looking, there must be a lot of n chasing you, right?"
Qin Mingzhu was taken aback, then laughed again, "There are so, but I’m still young. My parents don’t plan to let date so early."
"Is that so? I didn’t realize Qin Family’s family education was so strict."
Jian Yan always spoke with composure, which caught Qin Mingzhu off guard again. It took her a while to understand the aning of his words, but she just felt it was abrasive.
"Miss Qin, if you have nothing else, would you sit down and chat with this old man?"
As Jian Yan spoke, he glanced at the sofa next to him.
Qin Mingzhu was still standing there, glancing subconsciously at the sofa and then at Qin Mu’s desk, before smiling and saying, "I think I’ll wait for another day to co."
"Then I won’t see you out!"
The spark in Qin Mingzhu’s eyes was completely extinguished by a bucket of cold water in that mont. She had never t a man who talked like this before, seeming easy to talk to, but with words that always made the listener think there was more to them.
Later, just as Qin Mu was about to announce the end of the eting, she heard Qin Mingzhu’s high heels descending the stairs and turned her head unconsciously.
Qin Mingzhu caught Qin Mu’s sharp gaze on her and couldn’t help but mock herself, "I’ll co to see you another day."
The sudden change in the girl’s way of communicating was indeed a bit surprising, and Qin Mu watched with a questioning look as Qin Mingzhu left in dejection. Xiaoi muttered beside her, "Who knows what kind of mischief she’s planning this ti?"
After Xiaoi spoke, she looked up at the stairs, confusion also in her gaze.
"Let’s finish up here!"
After addressing everyone, Qin Mu patted Xiaoi’s shoulder gently to bring her back to reality. Xiaoi looked at her, "Shall I boil so hot water for you?"
"Sure, thank you!"
Xiaoi cast a resentful look at her and then left.
When Qin Mu turned to see that everyone had started working and looked through the window at Qin Mingzhu outside staring at her, that look...
It was like hatred!
Qin Mu thought, could it really be that after having a al with Qin Haiming, he went back and told Zhang Rujia and Qin Mingzhu to prepare a room for her?
What a joke, did he really think they could reconcile like it was over a decade ago?
With that in mind, Qin Mingzhu’s behavior didn’t surprise her at all.
When Qin Mu returned upstairs, Jian Yan was still sitting there, having just lit a cigarette. When he saw her co in, he raised his hand, smoke curling from the cigarette. With a half-smile, he said, "It’s already lit, let finish it."
Qin Mu laughed, walked over, and sat beside him, "Enjoy it to your heart’s content!"
"You let Mu Yichen enjoy it to his heart’s content as well?"
He asked with a smile, still as serene as ever.
"Uh, he’s very restrained in front of ."
Initially, Qin Mu’s mind wandered elsewhere since Mu always used that word "enjoy" with her, but then she rembered he was her master and promptly straightened up.
"No wonder the master is not like him."
He chuckled softly and then took another deep inhale from his cigarette.
Hearing this, Qin Mu couldn’t help but feel a bit of sorrow, a master and a man were naturally different concepts after all.
When she looked at Jian Yan again, Qin Mu noticed that he really had lost a lot of weight from the last ti, looking as if he had not been eating well.
"Master, you seem to have been losing weight continuously since you got back, is your stomach upset?"
Qin Mu asked curiously, with a trace of concern in her eyes.
Looking at her, Jian Yan silently smiled faintly, "A bit, — but it’s not serious, don’t worry."
Qin Mu’s heart tightened upon hearing this, but she felt a bit relieved when he said it wasn’t serious.
"If it gets too bad, you should go to the hospital for a check-up right away. That kind of thing is no joke."
"Do you think your master would joke with his own life?"
He looked at her as if he was serious.
Qin Mu thought that nobody should joke with their own life, but at this mont, she felt an ominous feeling inside.
