Chapter 453: 136 The Person Who Became a Stepping Stone_3

She wanted to grasp something warm and cozy to fill her heart, to saturate her entire being.

He heated up some milk and toasted bread.

Before long, he had prepared breakfast for her.

He carried the meal to the bed.

Qin Mu’s eyes became dry and heated from the warm breakfast, her vision blurring involuntarily.

"Eat quickly, then take your medicine!"

"I can just take the medicine!"

Even a fool would realize they had a fever.

Because her breaths were scaldingly hot, she felt discomfort under her nose, and she was always sleepy, with her heavy eyelids seemingly about to close at any moment.

"Your stomach can’t handle medicine on its own, eat first, quickly!"

He commanded, sitting beside her, and handed her the warm water.

Qin Mu cast him a slightly aggrieved look, resenting his sudden kindness, but still took the water cup and drank.

He then picked up the toast for her, and Qin Mu could hardly bear to look at him.

Mu Yichen, however, didn’t feel he was being excessive and even offered, "Do you want me to feed you?"

Qin Mu...

Hurriedly took the toast and bit into it. She really didn’t want to eat; he had toasted three slices, and she barely managed one before drinking some milk.

Afterward, he took the remaining piece she had bitten and carried the rest away.

When he came back upstairs, he was holding a cup of fever-reducing medicine.

"Give me your phone!"

He said as she was taking her medicine.

Qin Mu looked up at the man looming over her, her eyes questioning the reason.

"You don’t plan on going to work in this state, do you? Tell your assistant you’re taking a day off."

"I have a contract to sign today."

"Central Street?"

"Yes!"

"You haven’t signed the contract yet?"

"Yes!"

"Transfer the money to my account, and I will go sign the contract for you."

Qin Mu...

On the other side, Jing Qing, wearing sunglasses, walked around the yet-to-be-renovated shop and then turned to the proprietor saying, "I’ll add an extra million, I want this property!"

"Who might you be, miss?"

The proprietor asked. A million wasn’t a significant amount to him, but it was rare for someone to throw money away so carelessly, unless...

"Does it matter who I am? What’s important is that I’m paying in full."

"But that lady has already paid a deposit, and we have signed an agreement."

"Just find some excuse to push her aside, who in this world would refuse money?"

Jing Qing took off her glasses, looking coldly at the well-dressed proprietor.

It was at this moment that the door was gently pushed open from the outside. A partition stood at the door, so they did not see each other.

The boss was startled too. Who didn’t recognize this big star?

At first, he only felt she looked familiar. Now that she had taken off her glasses, he immediately found her very familiar.

"Are you Miss Jing?"

"I’ve said my identity isn’t important. If one million is not enough, just name your price."

Jing Qing had a rather haughty attitude, clearly unhappy about wasting time here.

"No matter how much this lady offers, I will double it."

Just as Jing Qing was about to persuade him, another person suddenly appeared at the door.

Mu Yichen pushed the door open and entered, his trim overcoat draped over his tall frame, long arms hanging naturally, hands casually tucked into his pockets, his gaze commanding and full of deterrent power as he looked at the two people in front of him.

Jing Qing was also taken aback when she saw him. Her heart skipped a beat, and it took her quite a while to manage a smile. She walked up to him with a smile and greeted him, "Yichen, what brings you here?"

"Why can’t I be here if you can?"

Mu Yichen looked up at her. This wasn’t the first time she had tried to hinder Qin Mu’s progress. If he had let go of the past, he certainly couldn’t let it go this time.

"I’ve been thinking about opening a store recently, so I found this place. What about you?"

Jing Qing explained in a gentle voice, smiling even more tenderly.

However, the boss lowered his gaze. Having experienced some trials and tribulations, he could easily tell that these two knew each other. Jing Qing called him Yichen with such a soft tone, and the boss had already guessed which Yichen she was referring to.

He thought to himself that the missy probably wouldn’t get the property. His shop was big enough, but there were very few people prepared to buy it for business since its excellent location meant the price was naturally high.

But the two individuals who came today could afford it, and the money meant little to them. He really wanted to sell the place to Qin Mu; he liked the attitude Qin Mu had when coming to buy the property. However, both of the wealthy individuals before him were too arrogant.

"Is that so? But what to do? My wife has already taken a liking to this place and even paid a deposit."

Mu Yichen chuckled coldly. Since she wasn’t willing to admit the real reason for her visit, he would act as if he hadn’t heard anything.

"Then you’re definitely going to buy it for her, aren’t you? After all, whatever she wants, you’ll get for her. Fine, then I don’t want it!"

She suddenly became compliant again, nodding, showing her jealousy, yet hitting just the right note.

Mu Yichen looked down at her: This boss should be the clearest about where her money comes from, right?

"If you two are talking about Miss Qin Mu, then I am indeed aware of it."

Because Qin Mu had asked him for time to gather the money, he naturally wasn’t willing to wait and had asked Qin Mu to state her worth. Only then did Qin Mu tell him her situation. So when Jing Qing just mentioned adding another million, he also hesitated because he liked Qin Mu’s attitude.

"Then consider what I just said unsaid!"

Jing Qing had no choice but to shrug, now stripped of all her pretense.

In front of Mu Yi, she was always a loser.

But how unwilling she was in her heart, only she knew.

"Since Qin Mu is the one buying the property from you, why did you come here?"

"She’s not feeling well! Jing Qing, stop doing such things in the future!"

Jing Qing looked up at him because he was too serious, too stern.

"I can guarantee, you can’t be a stumbling block on her path to success, you can only be a stepping stone."

His dark eyes bore into hers, coldly reminding her!

Jing Qing felt like his gaze was a sharp dagger, fiercely stabbing into her heart.

"Can’t you consider my feelings at all?"

"No!"
