She no longer looked at him, stubbornly warning him.
"Do you plan to owe him a favor? Don’t you know what it ans for a woman to owe a man a favor?"
Mu Yichen stepped forward, one hand propping up the edge of the table, the other in his pocket.
"What does it an?"
Qin Mu was genuinely curious, her big eyes glaring at him in a beautifully oblique line.
"It ans you’re saying you could sleep with him."
Mu Yichen helplessly uttered that sentence.
Qin Mu...
", sleep with him? With that little physique of his?"
Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh, seriously questioning Yichen’s reasoning.
Li Yu was indeed handso, but how could he compare with this man in front of her, so strong and powerful?
Qin Mu imdiately withdrew her gaze when she realized what she was thinking, but Mu Yichen continued to gaze at her, unable to pull his gaze away.
Was that look she just gave ant to strip him naked?
"Qin Mu, will you lift your head for ?"
Mu Yichen commanded, feeling smug inside because of that fleeting glance from her.
"Don’t ddle in my affairs, I’m very clear about my own position, nothing will happen between and Li Yu."
Qin Mu refused his help, then spread out the drawing paper again, nimbly twirling a pencil in her hand before preparing to draw.
As she spoke those words, she unexpectedly recalled what Mu Yichen had once said to her, as if it was exactly the sa.
Mu Yichen pulled his other hand from his pocket, now both resting on the table edge, his eyes mixed with tolerance and helplessness, he gnashed his teeth and looked at her, asking, "Since when have my words stopped working on you?"
"When Zhuo Wen used to be in our house, didn’t you always tell that there is nothing between you two as well? And what about so model? Why is it that I trust you whenever you say there’s nothing between you and other won, but when it cos to , I can’t get even a bit of your trust?"
Qin Mu raised her eyes to look at him, her sharp gaze as if saying, Yichen, this is your karma!
"I get it! Mrs. Mu is taking her revenge!"
He suddenly let out a laugh, his dark eyes staring straight at her for a few seconds, then forcefully knocked on the table with the back of his hand.
——
Qin Mu only heard a loud bang, her heart almost leaping out.
Mu Yichen’s features suddenly turned cold, as if now there was nothing left to say, and he turned and walked away.
His exit not only frightened Qin Mu, but as she looked up at his resolute figure, all other things in her vision were obscured by his tall fra, instantly blurring.
It was as if where he stood, everything else was just a prop.
Qin Mu heard her once firm heart crumbling bit by bit, and behind it, collapsing with a crash.
The voice inside her scared her, unsure if it was right to be so defiant against him.
Every ti she opposed him, it was with trepidation.
This ti, it was heart-pounding.
——
As Mu Yichen descended the stairs, he saw Xiaoi playing with Chengcheng. Xiaoi saw him, was about to greet him, but was frightened by his cold expression and dared not make a sound.
"Remind her to co ho early!"
Mu Yichen said just this one sentence, then he left.
Xiaoi, holding Chengcheng, stood at the door watching him drive away. Chengcheng excitedly stretched out her arms, as if trying to reach for him, babbling unintelligibly, and Xiaoi couldn’t understand what she was saying, just a bit worried about Qin Mu’s relationship issues with Mu Yichen.
Mu Yichen drove away, still pondering over her words on the road, why couldn’t he trust her?
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, it was her, so foolish.
Love is sothing that can’t be helped; doesn’t she understand?
Perhaps she would mature with more experiences in the studio, but in matters of the heart, this girl who only has him is no different from a fool, susceptible to being deceived by other n at any mont.
In the evening, Qin Mu finished work on ti, of course, Xiaoi had told her about President Mu’s words, and repeated them several tis.
Xiaoi seed really afraid that Qin Mu would co ho late, so she kept urging her to hurry back.
Qin Mu really wanted to beat her up because Xiaoi’s look was saying: "If you don’t get ho now, you’re going to suffer dostic abuse again."
At night, after Qin Mu had lulled Chengcheng to sleep, she placed him in the nursery, then went to her study to draw.
The roses brought by President Mu were still on the desk, blooming nicely, she glanced at them and then prepared to work hard.
Her phone rang once at the side, Qin Mu glanced at it when she turned it on.
"Qinqin, should we tell JY about this?"
Qin Mu thought about it seriously, then feeling a bit dazed, she picked up her phone and sent back a question mark.
"The dostic abuse!"
Xiaoi, lying on her own bed, had just sent the ssage to Qin Mu and soon received her reply.
"If you dare to utter a single word, pack your bags and get back to Paris."
Xiaoi...
Qin Mu put down her phone, then started editing pictures.
Feng Fanghua ca in with coffee in hand to find her: "Stop drawing for now, let’s have a chat."
Qin Mu then retracted her hands, placed them together on her lap, turned to look at Feng Fanghua who sat down on the sofa: "Sure!"
"I heard that actor nad Li Yu has been looking for you recently?"
Feng Fanghua asked, but her expression was still pleasant.
"Hasn’t been looking for all the ti, right? We shot an ad together, and then t once more, what’s up?"
Qin Mu thought about it and felt that the word "always" was an exaggeration.
"It’s fine as long as you’re not constantly eting up, you don’t know but I went to the clubhouse today, those won kept telling they saw Li Yu flirting with you in your store and said you might have ’a special relationship’. I was infuriated when I heard it."
While Feng Fanghua spoke, she sighed and held the cup with both hands, looking to the side.
Qin Mu...
"Do many of your friends shop at our store?"
"Yes!"
"Oh! That day Li Yu ca to the store and picked two outfits, Wen Runuan was also there."
Qin Mu recalled the incident and explained it to Feng Fanghua.
"I trust you, just be more cautious when you’re out, given that you’re a married woman now, aren’t you? A married woman who still has so allure."
Feng Fanghua looked at her, her eyes seemingly fierce but actually filled with indulgence.
When Qin Mu heard Feng Fanghua complinting her looks, she couldn’t help but raise her hand to her slightly flushed face: "Mom, to be honest, when it cos to good-looking married won, you’re even more beautiful! You look like a fashionable aristocratic woman in her thirties, so stylish and with such a strong presence."
"Really? Do I look that good?"
There’s no woman who doesn’t like complints, and Feng Fanghua couldn’t resist touching her face, believing that she looked very stylish with the right makeup.
"Yes! After the deal with the ad is settled in a few days, why don’t you also do a photoshoot? I heard the photographer has won several awards and has taken photos for many famous actors."
Qin Mu suggested.
"Is that possible?"
"Of course! With mom’s posture and status, you should definitely have such a photographer to capture your likeness, you deserve no less."
Qin Mu nodded earnestly, dramatically praising her.
Feng Fanghua could not help but laugh and murmur: "This girl... is getting smoother and smoother with her words."
Although she knew many of the words were just Qin Mu cajoling her, the words made her feel different about herself and she no longer bothered to argue with Qin Mu. The issue regarding Li Yu they were supposed to discuss was also put aside.
"Still not sleeping at this late hour?"
Mu Yichen gently pushed open the door, stood at the entrance, and asked them both with his sensual voice.
