"I just heard that the kid’s stepmother is seeing another man outside. Could it be that the kid’s father found out, and the couple started fighting so much they forgot to send the child?"
Mu Yichen frowned slightly, speaking seriously, his voice lowered.
But the look in his eyes as he glanced at Qin Mu carried a deeper aning.
Qin Mu slowly removed her hand from his shoulder but still looked at him with suspicion: "Are you serious?"
"How would I know the specifics?"
The word ’heard’ suggested soone had casually stirred things up between the couple, and ’incidentally’ provided so photos of the woman fooling around outside. Of course, none of it was done by Mr. Mu ’personally.’
"If arguing with Fanfan’s mom leads to affecting Fanfan’s studies, I wouldn’t want that."
Qin Mu spoke earnestly to him.
"Hmm! You’d feel guilty!"
Mr. Mu spoke as though he understood her perfectly, his voice still low.
Qin Mu had no clue how endearingly captivating her seriousness appeared before him at that mont.
"But you must’ve been the one who deliberately sabotaged them, right?"
Qin Mu gave him another glance, looking as though she had seen right through him.
Mu Yichen only smiled, saying nothing.
Qin Mu sighed lightly, thinking she’d deal with the matter tomorrow.
"Where are you going?"
Mu Yichen asked her.
"What else? Taking a shower."
Qin Mu shot him a look, her gaze alluringly intoxicating.
It was only with him that she appeared so petite and utterly charming.

The next day, Fanfan went off to school.
The next day, JY’s advertisent launched as scheduled.
That morning, the family was gathered around the TV, all incredibly nervous.
Qin Mu held her breath, standing behind the sofa watching the television. But when she glanced at her in-laws and her little sister-in-law, she noticed they seed even more nervous than she was. That realization cald her sowhat.
Mu Yichen was in his office, also watching the live stream online.
Although dissatisfied with Li Yu, it was clear this advertisent was bound to take off. JY’s dostic market was officially opening up.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Qin Mu received a call from the store manager, telling her many items were already sold out of sizes.
Qin Mu had Xiaoi contact the factory to restock items for those with preorders and display new arrivals for others.
By nine o’clock in the evening, both Li Yu and Wen Runuan sent her congratulatory ssages on WeChat.
Wen Runuan: "This is the highest-rated advertisent of the year."
Li Yu: "You’ve really made it big!"
Qin Mu: "Thank you both for your selfless contributions."
Wen Runuan: "When are you treating us to dinner?"
Li Yu: "I hope I can enjoy the al before heading off to shoot my next film?"
Qin Mu: "May I ask if the two of you are free tomorrow night?"
Wen Runuan: "Okay!"
Li Yu: "Deal!"
Qin Mu: "..."
And just like that, the celebratory dinner was set for the next evening.
By the next morning, Mu Yichen was still grumbling: "I don’t mind you having dinner with Wen Runuan, but why do you have to bring Li Yu along?"
"Without him, JY’s dostic popularity might not have risen so fast."
"You said ’might.’"
They were getting out of bed when Mu Yichen turned to look at her.
Qin Mu was buttoning up her shirt and turned around to et his gaze. The chilling depth of his eyes sent a shiver through her heart.
"It’s just a dinner. If you’re unhappy, why don’t you join us?"
Qin Mu suggested.
"I’m not going! I have my own social engagent tonight, and believe , there’ll be so attractive ladies if you don’t mind."
Qin Mu...
"Of course, if you do mind, I can decline."
"You’re insane!"
Qin Mu shot him a sharp remark, quickly fastening her belt.
Mu Yichen had already buttoned up his shirt, leaving only the last three buttons undone. Watching Qin Mu in her light blue shirt and black wide-legged pants with an accentuated waistline, he couldn’t resist walking toward her.
The two of them left the house together, each driving their own car. Just as Mu Yichen was about to get into his vehicle, he turned around and said: "I’ll be at AM tonight."
"I’ll wait for you!"
Qin Mu was about to get into her car when she turned her head to see his bottomless dark eyes. Feeling as if she were standing at the edge of a deep abyss, she solemnly replied.
Mu Yichen gave her another look, then got into his car.
His tall and commanding figure made one feel like tossing oneself into an embrace from behind—it would certainly feel wonderful.
Qin Mu took a deep breath and got into her car.
When Mu Yichen arrived at his office, he told Secretary Xi: "Arrange a dinner party at AM tonight."
Secretary Xi was montarily stunned but had no choice but to nod.
Mu Yichen’s social engagents were nurous, but each day, Secretary Xi filtered through most of them.
Holding a pile of docunts, Secretary Xi followed him, reporting work updates while also making arrangents for the evening. After finishing his tasks, Qiao Yi headed upstairs and saw Secretary Xi on the phone.
