Because the waiter had said that their lunch was already being prepared in the back, they didn’t order any dishes.
It wasn’t until the manager, along with the waiter, personally ca over to serve them their food amidst so curious glances from other custors that Qin Mu and Wen Runuan felt a bit overwheld by the attention.
Especially Wen Runuan—she had only ntioned it casually and had no idea that the hotel had actually designed a al especially for pregnant won for Qin Mu. When the dishes were served, their exquisite presentation made her want to praise her own cleverness.
"Did Mr. Mu ask you to prepare this?"
Qin Mu asked out of curiosity.
"No, it just so happens that I have Mr. Jiang’s WeChat, and I learned about your pregnancy from his Monts."
"Oh, thank you!"
Qin Mu’s shock was beyond words, but then she simply nodded and thanked the manager.
After the manager left, they began to eat. Wen Runuan considerately served her soup, saying, "I can’t just eat for free!"
"Today is my treat, and besides, your belly is bigger than mine—I should be the one serving you the soup," Qin Mu said with a smile, taking the soup bowl from her.
"It seems like everyone in Yichen’s social circle knows about your pregnancy."
"Sigh! Speaking of which, I can only laugh. The day I found out I was pregnant, Mu Yichen called all his brothers, and then there was the incident with the Monts. But when I looked through the content of those Monts later on, not a single one ntioned Mu Yichen’s or my na, but..."
Qin Mu shrugged helplessly!
Because everyone in the Monts seed quite certain that they were expecting their second child.
No, those in their circle didn’t say they were husband and wife; they said the two of them weren’t even married yet and the second child was already on the way.
Jiang Zhiyuan even sourly claid that his illegitimate children were all over the world; it’s just a pity no one believed him.
When Qin Mingzhu ca to dine with friends, she saw Qin Mu and Wen Runuan enjoying lunch together, laughing and chatting in the sunlight from a distance.
Qin Mingzhu asked the waiter leading them to their table: "Have Qin Mu and Wen Runuan been here for a long ti?"
"Yes!"
"Looks like they’re getting along pretty well now! Hmph!"
Qin Mingzhu muttered angrily, then sat down with her friend at a large table that had been reserved in advance.
While others were ordering dishes, she couldn’t help herself and walked over to where Qin Mu was.
"Wow, quite lively here, isn’t it?"
Qin Mingzhu, with her purse on her back and arms crossed over her chest, stood next to them. She frowned upon seeing the light dishes on the table.
"Qin Mu, you’re really patient, to even join soone in eating a pregnancy al!"
Qin Mingzhu’s sharp gaze fixed on Qin Mu.
Qin Mu, who had been enjoying her al, felt irritated at the sound of Qin Mingzhu’s voice. She put down her utensils, looked up determinedly with a cold gaze, and asked, "Do you have a problem?"
"What problem could I have? I’m just complenting your good temper!"
Qin Mingzhu boasted, hugging her chest and speaking to Qin Mu, her eyes dripping with mockery as she looked down.
"With your current status, it’s not easy for you to show up in AM. Why aren’t you eating but instead causing trouble here?"
Qin Mu eyed her and asked coldly.
"What status? I am the legitimate daughter of the mayor, but you, on the other hand!"
Qin Mingzhu, feeling very indignant after hearing Qin Mu’s words, glared intensely, as if her eyes were knives, ready to gouge out Qin Mu’s eyes.
Qin Mingzhu thought about her recent circumstances, with all of her cards cut off by Qin Haiming, unable to return ho, squeezing into that small apartnt with Zhang Rujia. Her friends were unwilling to co out for dinner with her. Before, a re phone call from her ensured everyone’s imdiate presence. Now she had to practically beg before anyone would even et her.
Take today’s al, for example—of course, she had no money to treat anyone, and she had secretly used Zhang Rujia’s card. If Zhang Rujia found out, who knew what kind of scolding she would face when she got ho that night.
It was as if the grudge between the two had accumulated to an uncountable degree.
"What about ?"
Qin Mu answered, wondering if she too knew about her pregnancy.
"What about you? You’re just a slut who knows how to seduce n and so vicious that you made my father throw out of the house. You’re absolutely shaless..."
"Why is there a hair in this water?"
Qin Mu spoke softly, as if she hadn’t heard Qin Mingzhu’s words, casually tipping the cup of boiling water to the side. The force was just right, sending the water splashing onto Qin Mingzhu.
"Ah, it’s burning ! You little bitch, are you trying to scald to death!"
Qin Mingzhu bent over, tugging at her pretty dress while ranting at Qin Mu.
"Oops! It slipped out of my hands by accident, are you okay?"
Qin Mu exaggerated her actions, turning to look at Qin Mingzhu with feigned concern.
Wen Runuan sat quietly to the side, watching, struggling to hold back her laughter.
Qin Mingzhu was already in a bad mood from the scald, and seeing Wen Runuan’s mocking expression, she beca even more enraged. "You clearly did it on purpose!"
"Yes, I clearly did it on purpose!"
Qin Mu casually picked up the teapot next to her, pouring water into an empty cup, the steam still rising from the hot water.
