Qin Mu shrugged, thinking to herself how Jian Yan had really beco more outrageous over the past two years, yet he was still her good ntor.
"Sounds so cool, only really amazing people can achieve that, but I think you’re already very impressive now. It seems like no one in the fashion circle dostically doesn’t know the na Qin Mu."
"Luckily, it’s not ’Mrs. Mu’ those three words."
Qin Mu felt a sense of relief in her heart after hearing that.
She was worried that the fa of ’Mrs. Mu’ would overshadow Qin Mu, and then Mr. Mu would beco unbearably smug.
"Li Yu, do you think Qin Mu will be as impressive as her ntor in the future?"
Li Man rested her chin on her hand and turned to look at Li Yu, with eyes seemingly full of anticipation, yet more filled with lancholy.
Li Yu bowed his head with a half-smile, then looked up at Qin Mu: "I think you won’t beco soone like your ntor; you are Qin Mu."
Qin Mu: "..."
Li Man: "..."
At this mont, Li Man felt as if her chest had been punched hard, almost leaving her breathless. Her eyes showed obvious disappointnt, but she had to maintain the composure expected of her.
She didn’t want to appear petty in front of Li Yu; the two of them had argued too much in the past, and she didn’t want their future interactions to continue like that.
But sotis, she really wanted to stand up, point at his head, and scold him fiercely.
"Thank you!"
Qin Mu had nothing else to say and awkwardly lowered her head.
"That’s also true, everyone should be themselves, how can one be soone else’s substitute."
Li Man added.
She looked down sadly, finally.
Li Yu still didn’t look at her.
Qin Mu felt the atmosphere was a bit off, maybe she should go out and give these siblings a little ti alone?
"I’ll go to the restroom!"
Qin Mu said, putting down her teacup and then stood up to walk out.
The room suddenly beca extrely quiet, neither of the two paid attention to each other, just sitting in their respective places.
Qin Mu washed her hands in the restroom, and when she thought she saw a familiar face pass by, she instinctively glanced outside.
But she didn’t see that woman anymore, only Li Yu walking in.
Qin Mu was startled: "Why did you co out too?"
"Otherwise? Sit there and watch her cry?"
Li Yu was afraid he couldn’t take it.
Then he looked at Qin Mu and gave an helpless smile: "She asked you to co just to show you how awkward things are between us."
Qin Mu...
Turns out, he knew everything.
"My dad and aunt get along quite well, and she treats well too, but we’re just family, nothing more."
Li Yu lowered his head, saying this while still mocking himself.
Qin Mu just quietly watched him, listening to him speak.
"But you want to date my sister?"
Li Yu laughed, but there was a kind of love-hate in his eyes.
At least, that’s how Qin Mu felt.
"I’m sorry for the trouble she’s caused you, but Qin Mu, don’t let her use you anymore, it’s not worth it."
Li Yu looked up at her, finally smiling at her.
Qin Mu recalled Wen Runuan saying that he had great ambitions, and at that mont, she believed it.
"Did you drive yourself here?"
"Mm!"
Qin Mu answered him quietly.
Li Yu nodded: "Be careful on the way back."
He turned to leave, and Qin Mu was still standing in the restroom, gradually hearing her own heartbeat.
"By the way! Actually, I’ve always liked your type!"
He suddenly ca back, confessing to her from the doorway.
Qin Mu...
"But given you’re a married woman, I choose to be more than friends."
Less than lovers?
Qin Mu watched him leave, then listened to the pain of her own heartbeat.
Later, Qin Mu felt like she had been teased, and was sowhat displeased.
When she returned, Li Man was already smiling again, though her eyes were red.
"He left because of sothing, let’s eat."
The dishes were already served, and Li Man was carefully picking them for her.
Qin Mu watched, but didn’t have much appetite, just quietly observing.
"Do you dislike it when others help with picking food? I’ve heard people abroad are more independent and dislike being fussed over like this?"
Li Man looked up and asked her.
"Are you alright?"
Qin Mu asked her softly.
"He told to keep pretending!"
Li Man’s voice was sowhat hoarse, and she lowered her head, closing her eyes tightly, but big tears fell down.
She shook her head forcefully, trying to keep her mouth shut, but having held back for too long, she eventually broke down, crying out loudly.
It was because she had held back too long, too long, and finally, it erupted.
Qin Mu moved closer, gently soothing her back, yet all the while saying nothing.
