In less than half a minute, Mu Qingxin finally switched the channel back.
Qin Mu tried hard to hold back her laughter. After thinking for a bit, she leaned closer and quietly asked, "Why did you eavesdrop last night?"
Mu Qingxin...
Qin Mu asked softly and cautiously, but Mu Qingxin’s face slowly turned red.
She was just being mischievous, that’s all.
As a younger sister, the greatest fun seed to be eavesdropping on her brother’s secrets—now it was on the secrets of both her brother and sister-in-law.
Did she really want to hear them... doing sothing?
Not really.
"But I didn’t hear anything!"
Mu Qingxin’s voice grew quieter.
The sound on the TV beca louder again. Qin Mu noticed her embarrassnt and suggested, "How about we take Chengcheng out for so shopping?"
"Chengcheng is still at ho?"
"He’s asleep. Mom and Dad took Ziyu out."
"Alright then, let’s go look at clothes, okay? To your store!"
Mu Qingxin suddenly regained her cheerfulness, smiling at Qin Mu playfully.
Qin Mu thought for a mont. "Alright, I’ll go wake Chengcheng up first."
Qin Mu agreed, and the two of them carried Chengcheng, grabbed the stroller, and headed out.
The weather was pretty nice. The two carried the baby to the store, startling the staff as they entered. Later, while strolling with the stroller, they ran into Li Yu’s younger sister, Li Man.
Seeing her, Li Man exclaid happily, "I ca here to try my luck; I didn’t expect to really bump into you!"
"Oh? I thought you ca to shop for clothes,"
Qin Mu joked.
"Of course I’m here to shop too—eting the boss ans I can get a discount!"
Li Man’s face flushed slightly. She glanced at the little one in the stroller and asked, "Is this your son?"
"Yep! But he doesn’t know how to greet people yet."
Qin Mu leaned over slightly, trying to get the little one attempting to stand up in the stroller to say sothing.
"Ah! He’s so tiny!"
Li Man said, bending down and extending her hand.
Chengcheng raised his eyes briefly, as if realizing the pretty auntie wanted to carry him, and happily reached out to her.
Qin Mu...
"Wow! He’s quite hefty!"
Li Man said while holding Chengcheng, marveling at his big, bright eyes. "Wow, his eyes are so lively."
"Right? Just like mine!"
Qin Mu said, deliberately widening her own eyes.
"He does resemble you a bit!"
Li Man studied them seriously and comnted.
Qin Mu felt a little disappointed.
Just "a bit!"
"But he looks more like his dad!"
Li Man had seen plenty of the news about Mu Yichen and thought the little guy had the sa cool vibe as his dad.
Qin Mu didn’t know what she was thinking, but she felt a bit crestfallen.
Mu Qingxin ca out of the fitting room in new clothes and noticed the unfamiliar beauty chatting with Qin Mu while holding her big nephew. Curious, she stepped closer and asked, "Is she your friend?"
Mu Qingxin’s gaze carried a hint of wariness as she looked at the stranger.
"This is Li Yu’s younger sister, Li Man. She’s also a TV industry professional—a brilliant behind-the-scenes worker."
Qin Mu was briefly stunned by how stunning Mu Qingxin looked but quickly introduced her.
"She’s Mu Yichen’s younger sister, Mu Qingxin—your brother’s number-one fan!"
Qin Mu introduced Mu Qingxin to Li Man, and Li Man looked at Mu Qingxin with slight wariness in return.
"She’s married!"
Noticing Li Man’s guarded expression, Qin Mu quickly added.
"Really? She looks like she just graduated from college! I’m Li Man, nice to et you!"
Li Man relaxed a bit upon hearing she was married, freeing one hand to offer a handshake.
"Hmph!"
Mu Qingxin chuckled lightly, then leaned toward Qin Mu and whispered, "What’s up with you? Don’t go befriending strangers!"
Qin Mu gently patted her shoulder and whispered back, "The outfit looks great! I’ll explain later!"
"Alright then!"
Mu Qingxin dropped the matter, adjusted her long dress, and asked, "How do I look?"
"Fair-skinned, beautiful, perfect—you’re what they call a natural-born clothes model,"
Li Man remarked sincerely while still holding Chengcheng, giving Mu Qingxin a careful once-over.
Mu Qingxin...
"Really? I’m a natural clothes model?"
Mu Qingxin felt this was the best complint in the world, and imdiately let go of her earlier wariness toward Li Man.
Qin Mu retrieved the baby from Li Man’s arms and smiled helplessly at Mu Qingxin’s sudden change in deanor.
"Yes, you’re flawless! But wouldn’t black be too heavy for autumn? I noticed a light-colored dress over there with a similar style,"
Li Man suggested as she headed toward a row of dresses. Mu Qingxin followed eagerly.
