Chapter 491: 147 My Darling Baby_1

"What, I’m only allowed to seduce your husband, and you’re not allowed to fight fire with fire?"

Qin Mu tucked one hand lightly into her pocket, a sharp glint beginning to show in her eyes!

"I seduced your husband?"

Jing Qing, hand on her hip, felt so humiliated by Qin Mu’s words that she was about to explode in rage.

"Jing Qing, why pretend to be clueless? In Rongcheng, who doesn’t know about my relationship with Mu Yichen? Surely no one in the Jing Family is unaware that Mu Yichen and I are already legally married, right?"

Qin Mu asked her, somewhat irritated.

"I know, so what?"

"Don’t tell me you’re blinded by love, I actually think your IQ’s been eaten by a dog!"

Qin Mu was indeed provoked by those words, so...

her speech became a bit harsh!

She knew that initially, Jing Qing did care about Mu Yichen’s marriage, but later on, she had no choice but to let go of her concerns.

Qin Mu was very clear in her heart that Jing Qing’s pursuit of Mu Yichen wasn’t just about feelings; actually, Jing Qing was also driven by her unwillingness to accept defeat.

She was angry; a proper young lady actually stooped to do such foolish, demeaning things, making Qin Mu feel like her rival was so unintelligent that it was an insult to her own IQ.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mu opened the door to leave, only to see a man standing outside smoking.

Jian Yan seemed to have been smoking quite a few already; Qin Mu found the smell of smoke heavy, making her even more irritable.

"Can’t you smoke a little less?"

Qin Mu reproached him, her temper being quite big at the moment.

"Rival?"

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Jian Yan asked her, a faint light in his eyes.

Hearing that low voice, Qin Mu felt as if her heart was pricked.

"She considers me a rival, but in my eyes, she’s nothing but a loser!"

With her hands behind her, leaning against the wall, Qin Mu started chatting with Jian Yan.

"That confident?"

Jian Yan asked her with a smile.

"Of course, you wouldn’t understand what it feels like when you meet someone you think is a competitor, only to find out they’re a complete letdown in every way except for bullying by authority."

Qin Mu looked up slightly at the wall in front of her; the place was quite simple but somehow felt very secure.

"I’ve encountered many like that! In business!"

Jian Yan was still chuckling softly, his gaze always deep, sometimes his smiling expression making people nervous.

Qin Mu felt exactly that way.

"Master!——"

She suddenly called him that, having something to say but afraid of making him overthink, so she got up and went to work.

Master, I really miss the days when I was just your apprentice, just the woman Mu Yichen cared about, just a simple creator.

And now, back in Rongcheng, she felt like her wings were tied with string, wanting to fly but only able to flutter desperately.

After she left, Jian Yan continued smoking, his brows furrowed into a frown.

Qin Mu always said she didn’t care, but weren’t her words, which seemed indifferent, actually proof of her care?

Mu Yicheng had indeed changed her!

Jian Yan’s eyes held a look of loss; he knew all he could do was support all her decisions, yet he couldn’t feel happy about it.

By the time he finished his cigarette, she was already busy, showing not the slightest awareness of being pregnant.

——

This show was many times larger than the ones back home. Before the show began, they did a simple rehearsal, with male and female models wearing tonight’s clothes walking out from behind the runway.

Jian Yan and Qin Mu sat with their respective teams below, watching intently; Jian Yan uncharacteristically wore a pair of black-framed rectangular glasses, staring straight at the stage, his breath held.

Qin Mu and her team were also whispering among themselves, their gazes frequently observing the stage.

No matter how beautiful the models from anywhere in the world were, as long as they were professional, they were bound to carry any fashion outfit with grace.

They also invited a famous male singer from Paris to sing on stage, and before the show started, they gathered for photos.

Many designers from home and abroad came to the event, and of course, many bigwigs from the international fashion circle and the entertainment elite were present.

Mu Yi came with Zhao Yan, and they brought Huanhuan along.

To be honest, although Huanhuan was only three years old, it was clear she was already quite accustomed to such scenes.

Jian Yan and Qin Mu stood among the crowd, and some late-arriving fashion celebrities also had to stand, chatting with those they knew occasionally.
