Chapter 229: 91 Lipstick Incident_4

Qin Mu didn’t speak. She didn’t know whether she should argue or not. If she argued, she had a lot she could say, but if she didn’t, wouldn’t she just be misunderstood?

Qin Mu looked at his handsome face, which now bore an angry expression, and suddenly she couldn’t bring herself to react otherwise, just gazing up at him.

Mu Yichen slapped the table hard, turned around coldly, and paced back and forth in front of her, as if he wanted to erupt with anger but had to restrain himself.

Qin Mu knew she had made him angry. Finally, she was willing to lower her head, uncertain if she could bear to continue seeing him so enraged.

"What’s wrong with you? Do you find it funny to suddenly act like this?"

"The phone is really not with me. Do you have to make such a big fuss because I didn’t contact you for one day?"

She said these words tentatively, in a cautious manner.

"Whether the phone is not with you or you deliberately threw it away to avoid my calls, you know better than I do."

He pointed forcefully at his chest, the nearly six-foot-tall man now looking like a petulant boy who had suffered a great blow.

"Qin Mu, I know what’s on your mind, I know it clear as day, I..."

He wanted to continue, but he had to swallow those words because he knew how hard it had been to wait for this day. He didn’t want to waste all his long effort because of a moment of anger.

"It’s getting late. Let’s go home for dinner."

In the end, he suppressed all his temper, and said that sentence with his head lowered to her.

So, she didn’t even have time to make an excuse not to go back to the Mu Family, nor the courage to say she would drive back herself. Seeing him waiting by the car for her, she slowly walked over and opened the passenger side door.

Jian Yan watched quietly from upstairs, everything unfolding just as he had expected.

Jian Yan listened to the argument in the next office, and he could even imagine what they both looked like at that moment.

And what Qin Mu must be feeling sitting next to Mu Yichen now.

Jian Yan thought, no matter what, he should still send his blessings, after all, she was his only apprentice.

Hmm, I forgot to take the mobile phone after all.

On the road.

In such a large car, the air seemed thin, whether it was due to the cold weather or something else, there was a feeling of being unable to catch one’s breath.

Qin Mu turned to look at him. "I think I forgot to bring my phone again."

Mu Yichen...

Turned and gave her a cold glance.

Qin Mu felt that glare was as if he was scolding her for not bringing her brain.

She indeed hadn’t brought her brain today, she was on the verge of a breakdown, driven mad by the thought of how she had fallen completely into his tender trap these past days.

Suddenly, Qin Mu wondered, was it deliberate?

Deliberately coaxing her every night, making her unconsciously end up in his arms.

Now, she probably couldn’t fall asleep at night without him.

The more she thought about it, the more defiant her expression became.

Every time she had some little scheme in mind, he seemed to guess it accurately, and Qin Mu was a bit scared.

But the cold harshness on the distinct profile stirred up an involuntary sense of pity in her again.

"Do you want to go back and get it?"

"No need."

He suddenly said, and Qin Mu felt it was a blessing. She whispered to him,

"Let your assistant contact this phone for anything."

He handed his black phone to her, focusing on driving while giving instructions.

Qin Mu, staring at the phone in front of her, took it after hesitating for a moment and then called Xiaomei.

"It’s me!"

"Yeah, call this number for anything."

"Okay, hanging up!"

Mu Yichen was still focused on driving, she hugged his phone and looked at him, "Thank you."

Mu Yichen didn’t even glance at her, struggling to keep his temper in check while driving properly.

"There’s a flower shop over there, how about we buy some flowers to take home?"

She suddenly looked towards the roadside on his side, Mu Yichen looked in that direction and then steered the car toward it.

Qin Mu...

She had simply wanted to prevent him from sulking, not expecting him to drive there without a word.

Qin Mu had no choice but to get out and go buy flowers. Halfway there, she turned back and said, "I didn’t bring my wallet, come with me, will you?"

"Go by yourself!"

He said as he took out his wallet from his suit pocket and handed it to her.

Qin Mu had no choice but to take the wallet through the window, turned with a sense of loss, and walked away.

Mu Yichen sighed lightly with exasperation. She had hardly taken a few steps when he got out of the car.

Qin Mu turned at the sound, immediately smiled broadly, and ran back to loop her arm through his as they walked inside together.
