Chapter 475: 143 Yes, I did it on purpose!_3

In the office, two women sat together, both pregnant, though one had a slightly bigger belly while the other didn’t show yet.

Wen Runuan said excitedly, "I only found out you were pregnant from your social media posts. You did a better job keeping it a secret than me in the entertainment industry!"

"But you still found out!"

Qin Mu laughed as she spoke.

Apart from telling the people in the studio as Mu Yichen had requested, she indeed hadn’t mentioned it to anyone else. For one thing, she didn’t think it was worth mentioning since it was her own private matter. And for another, she was a bit afraid. Many women had been schemed against while pregnant, and she didn’t want to experience that.

"I didn’t think of it until last night when I saw a social media post mentioning someone who got pregnant with a second child without a marriage license...and then I thought of you."

Wen Runuan looked at her in feigned shock.

Qin Mu...

Why did it feel like a trap earlier?

"No more joking, have you felt especially uncomfortable?"

Wen Runuan asked her.

"Not really, sometimes I feel like throwing up, but nothing comes out!"

Qin Mu thought about her symptoms and felt they were acceptable, especially compared to those who suffer heartbreaking nausea.

"That’s good, I brought you some sour things to eat when you’re feeling sick,"

Wen Runuan said.

"Great! Thank you!"

Qin Mu smiled her thanks.

Actually, Wen Runuan hadn’t expected that she could become friends with Qin Mu. She sought Qin Mu out because she liked the dresses Qin Mu designed for Jing Qing. She thought Qin Mu didn’t get along with Jing Qing, so approaching Qin Mu seemed appropriate. However, Wen Runuan assumed that Qin Mu, being rather indifferent, probably wouldn’t make a good friend. But as time went by, even the indifferent Qin Mu came to be seen as particularly warmhearted, and so she brought some things to visit Qin Mu today.

"Let’s stop with the thanks between us. After a year of getting to know each other, can’t we consider ourselves friends by now?"

Wen Runuan asked her.

"Friends can still say thank you!"

Qin Mu replied with her habitual, polite smile.

Wen Runuan, feeling helpless, said, "Jing Qing hasn’t been to the office these past few days, so I couldn’t keep an eye on her for you. But I’ve seen Yang Qianxi a few times. That woman is always sneaking around. Guess where I sent someone to follow her this morning?"

A sense of unease suddenly jumped in Qin Mu’s heart, feeling it must be related to her.

"Where?"

Qin Mu asked in a low voice.

"Mu Yichen’s office building. She’s tracking Mu Yichen,"

Wen Runuan spoke with a sense of dread.

Qin Mu...

"She’s tracking Mu Yichen?"

Qin Mu couldn’t fathom the reason, but then it dawned on her.

"Yes, what would she be tracking Yichen for?"

Wen Runuan furrowed her brows, puzzled after thinking it over for a while.

"She likes Mu Yichen!"

Qin Mu whispered, a hint of distress in her brow.

Qin Mu thought she had diverted the troublemaker Yang Qianxi away from her, but she hadn’t expected Yang to turn to Jing Qing instead, and to frequently go see Mu Yichen.

"She likes Yichen? So she tracks him? That doesn’t make sense. If Jing Qing knew she was tracking Yichen, she probably wouldn’t let her, would she?"

Wen Runuan was doubtful.

"It’s likely that Jing Qing doesn’t know about her feelings for Mu Yi. So... it’s very possible that Jing Qing told her to track Mu Yichen."

Qin Mu suddenly remembered why Jing Qing always seemed to find out where Mu Yi was dining in real-time. Qin Mu had assumed Jing Qing employed someone special to track Mu Yi, without realizing it was Yang Qianxi.

The least noticeable are the least likely to be discovered.

Qin Mu finally understood Jing Qing’s cunning tactics, and her facial expression unconsciously became more solemn.

"How about I have someone follow Yang Qianxi and Jing Qing these next few days? Maybe they’ll find out something else?"

"Then shall we have lunch together? How about a meal for expecting mothers? Consider it my way of thanking you for doing such a big favor for me!"

"Sure! Let’s go to AM, Yichen’s hotel probably makes the best meals for pregnant women, right?"

"It should!"

Qin Mu thought for a moment, then helplessly smiled.

Mu Yichen might not have told the hotel about this since she rarely dined there.

But as soon as she arrived at the hotel, the restaurant manager went to the kitchen and instructed, "Today the young lady is coming to dine with a friend; prepare the maternity meal we discussed this morning."

Waitstaff outside courteously directed them to their seats, the best spot reserved for them.

After Qin Mu and Wen Runuan sat down and noticed the almost full seating around, Wen Runuan asked quietly, "Did you call ahead?"

"No!"

Qin Mu replied with puzzlement, then smiled and said, "Let’s not think about it. Let’s just wait for the food to be served."
