The friend sighed, "Both of us ca back from abroad together, both top students, and soon we’ll go to the Science Research Institute to assu our positions."
"So pessimistic?"
An Li asked.
"Don’t think about him anymore. Just like you said, Jiang Zhiyuan and Qiao Yi are also not bad. Besides, we’re going to work in Beijing soon. Do we still have ti to think about n from Rong City?"
After hearing this, An Li thought for a mont and couldn’t help but chuckle, realizing the truth in those words.
"How about we go to AM this afternoon if we’re free? As Mu Yichen’s classmates, neither of us has t that Xiaomu sister yet. Let’s see what she’s really like—what do you think?"
"That’s actually a good idea!"
The two won agreed, clapped their hands, and happily made the decision.
After lunch, it was almost two o’clock. Mu Yichen drove straight to Qin Mu’s studio because he had drunk a little extra and went to cuddle with her for a nap.
When Xiaoi knocked on the door, Qin Mu, groggy, went to open it, standing at the doorway with sleepy, tousled hair.
"Two girls who claim to be Mr. Mu’s classmates are here to see you!"
Xiaoi whispered to Qin Mu, knowing that Mu Yichen was inside.
Qin Mu suddenly beca alert, nodded, and said, "Greet them for first!"
"Hey, hey, hey, those two girls seem to be up to no good!"
Xiaoi added another reminder before Qin Mu could tidy up, causing Qin Mu to frown and reply, "Oh!"
By the ti Qin Mu ca downstairs, An Li and the other girl were already drinking tea in the reception area, with publicity materials from their studio in hand.
"Our boss is here!"
Xiaoi was by their side, presenting their fashion works, and when she saw Qin Mu approaching, stood up.
The two girls also turned their heads to look towards the stairwell.
Qin Mu walked over with a calm expression and smiled faintly as she looked up at them.
"I hear you’re Mr. Mu’s classmates! It’s a pleasure!"
She shook hands with them as she arrived at the reception area.
The two girls stood up to shake hands with her and then sat down again, looking at the composed and solid young woman across from them: "Are you the Qin Mu who whisked Mu Yichen away overseas when he was just a teenager? You’re nothing like you were as a child?"
"If you’re people I knew when I was younger, then I must also say, you really are different than before!"
The faces of the two won showed a bit of embarrassnt, but they quickly regained their composure.
"I’m An Li! I used to live quite close to your family!"
"I’m Jia Weihua, our family used to live near the Jing Family’s old house, but later on, we moved to the UK. We didn’t see each other much before."
After introducing herself, the girl nad Jia Weihua gave a shallow smile, reasonably friendly, although her gaze at Qin Mu was sharp, as if trying to see right through her stomach.
"I heard you’re pregnant again! Quite impressive!"
An Li stared at her belly for a while before speaking.
"The impressive one is Mr. Mu!"
Qin Mu humbly replied.
An Li and Jia Weihua found themselves at a loss for words. They hadn’t expected Qin Mu to block them so deftly, her soft deanor and quiet nature belying her sharp tongue.
"Of course Mr. Mu is impressive. Since childhood he’s dazzled all the girls around him—we included. It’s just that you’re the one who hooked him and took him away. Today, we just wanted to see what this girl who chard him away since youth looks like now."
An Li added.
"Are you satisfied with what you see?"
Qin Mu asked, thankful she had applied so light makeup.
"But, aren’t pregnant won not supposed to wear makeup? Although your makeup is exquisite, won’t it affect the baby in so way?"
"All the products are prepared by professionals, specially made for pregnant won. When you two sisters reach this stage in the future, you’ll naturally understand all of this."
Qin Mu responded cheerfully, taking a glass of water Xiaoi brought for her and holding it in her hand.
She thought to herself, why do Mr. Mu’s female classmates all seem to be so high and mighty?
"So that’s how it is? We students who are still studying probably have a long way to go before we can understand that."
An Li responded with a forced smile.
"I heard you’ve designed evening gowns for many celebrities, and you’ve achieved so much at such a young age. That’s really impressive!"
Jia Weihua held An Li’s hand, then praised Qin Mu with a light grin.
"It’s all thanks to my master’s good teaching and giving the opportunity!"
Qin Mu refused to take all the credit for herself.
"If it weren’t for your own exceptional talent, having a master wouldn’t be enough. After all, they say the master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to the individual."
