Chapter 544: 161 Very Satisfied_5

Qin Mu continued his phone conversation as he walked upstairs, knowing all the while that Mu Qingxin couldn’t keep it a secret from Mu Yichen.

"The Jing Family matriarch left?"

"Yeah! She just left! Jing Qing woke up!"

Qin Mu’s steps were light on the stairs, his hand gently touching the railing as he walked up, his voice also very soft.

"What’s for lunch?"

He asked while still on the phone with Mu Qingxin.

"Xiaomei ordered takeout for me, we’ll just have something simple later!"

"Got it!"

Mu Yichen finished speaking and hung up, then lifted his hand slightly, and a staff member immediately approached to receive his instructions. Mu Qingxin, struggling to peel crawfish, watched as Mu Yichen ordered a staff member to prepare a pregnancy-friendly meal for Qin Mu, unconsciously pouting and exaggeratedly miming without making a sound.

After the staff member left, Mu Yichen finally looked at her, "What are you doing?"

"Imitating you! If you’re so worried, you might as well make it yourself. Mom said you love cooking for Qin Mu. Even I as his sister have never..."

"Did you just say you’re his sister? Has your brother ever tasted the food you’ve cooked?"

Mu Yichen immediately retorted.

She struggled to peel the crawfish, then glared at him angrily, "Peel it for me!"

Mu Yichen really didn’t want to help her because it looked so disgusting, but knowing she loved it, he reluctantly agreed to help.

"But your son is currently breastfeeding. Can you eat this?"

Mu Yichen asked as he put on gloves and took over.

Mu Qingxin...

"Should be fine!"

Mu Qingxin didn’t know, and Mu Yichen didn’t know either, so the siblings stared at each other for a while. Later, to eat the shrimp her brother had peeled, Mu Qingxin hurriedly took out her phone to search on Baidu.

Jing Feng just happened to be dining with a client at AM. After finishing, he came out and encountered the Mu siblings, but he didn’t intend to greet them. However, when Mu Qingxin saw Jing Feng, she instinctively lifted her hand, "Jing Feng, brother!"

Jing Feng had no choice but to walk over, "Qingxin is back!"

"Yeah! Brother Jing Feng, you’re eating over here too!"

Mu Qingxin, seeing another man behind him, felt too embarrassed to reveal her true nature, courteously nodding her head like a gentlewoman from a prestigious family.

Jing Feng was a bit unaccustomed to her fake niceness, smiled awkwardly, then turned to glance at Mu Yichen. Just then Mu Yichen was also staring back at him. After a brief eye contact, Jing Feng said, "I’ve got some business to attend to, I’ll be off first!"

"Sure!"

Mu Qingxin bade him farewell, and Mu Yichen didn’t speak. Jing Feng didn’t bother with him either and just left with his client.

Only after Jing Feng was far away did Mu Qingxin stretch her neck and ask Mu Yichen, "Brother! Have you and Brother Jing Feng become enemies now?"

"You should ask him about that!"

Mu Yichen glanced at his sister.

To him, Jing Feng wasn’t an enemy, but if Jing Feng wanted to regard him as one, he wouldn’t stop him.

Mu Qingxin raised her eyebrows, unable to understand what was truly in the minds of these two brothers, and sighed, "Men are unfathomable as the sea!"

After hearing this, Mu Yichen looked at her, "Just eat your food!"

Mu Yichen, after having lunch, had to return to the office for a meeting, so he went to the kitchen to supervise the preparation of the pregnancy-friendly meal for his wife before leaving.

Mu Qingxin drove back to the Mu Mansion in Qin Mu’s car.

It was nearly 1 PM when Qin Mu had her meal, she gave a thumbs-up to Xiaomu sitting across her, "Not bad at all! Very considerate!"

Xiaomu looked at the food she was eating, thinking to herself that it didn’t seem like the takeout she had ordered from this place.

"Xiaomei, your takeout has arrived!"

Just as Xiaomei was puzzled, a Meituan delivery guy burst in energetically, holding two bags.

Qin Mu...

Xiaomei’s mouth twitched awkwardly, "Hehe! That must be something your husband prepared for you, right? That’s what I ordered for you!"

"Oh! Then I won’t claim expenses for it!"

Qin Mu glanced at the two bags and lost her appetite, quickly returning to her own meal.

Hearing that she wouldn’t get reimbursed, Xiaomei was even more distraught and decided she would eat until she burst, finishing the bland food because it was specifically ordered from another hotel for Qin Mu, as AM didn’t offer that takeout service.

After lunch, Qin Mu received a WeChat message from Mu Yichen, "Zhao Huai is coming to pick you up!"

Just when Qin Mu was about to take a nap, she was startled by his instruction to have Zhao Huai pick her up. Then she remembered what he said in the morning about needing to talk to her and immediately realized that she was supposed to go to his office in the afternoon.

She quickly rushed to the restroom to apply some lipstick, ensuring her makeup was presentable before heading out with her bag. Zhao Huai had waited five minutes for her but had kept himself busy chatting with Xiaomei.

"Didn’t we agree to have dinner together that night?"

"But you didn’t call me afterwards, did you? As a girl, I can’t be the one to initiate a dinner invitation with a man."

Xiaomei replied with feigned sophistication.

"You didn’t give me your business card."

Zhao Huai said, irritated.

Xiaomei...

"You’re just not sincere enough. If you were, you could have called Qinqin and found me through her!"

Zhao Huai...

The two were in the midst of their conversation when Qin Mu came out. Seeing her, Zhao Huai naturally shifted his focus to business, so before leaving, he said to Xiaomei with sincerity, "I’ll come to pick you up after you get off work, is that sincere enough for you?"

"I’ll give you my answer after you come pick me up."

"It’s a deal!"

Zhao Huai just couldn’t believe it; this little girl was still playing hard to get.

Qin Mu couldn’t help laughing when she saw how well they got along.

Zhao Huai drove her to the office building, "Yichen is indeed a bit busy today, but do you really have to discuss things at the company?"

"I don’t know either!"

Qin Mu pondered in the back seat for a while but couldn’t figure it out.

"You don’t know? Yichen is being mysterious now?" Zhao Huai grew more curious, but he didn’t dare to probe further. Then he asked, "Your assistant, Xiaomu, has she ever dated or had a boyfriend?"

Qin Mu was taken aback when he suddenly mentioned Xiaomei.

She didn’t know why he suddenly brought up Xiaomei and indeed didn’t know how to respond.

After a while, Qin Mu shook her head, "I haven’t heard of her dating anyone!"

Indeed, Xiaomei had never had a boyfriend; she only had unrequited crushes, which didn’t count as dating.

"It’s quite strange for someone your age to have never had a boyfriend, isn’t it?" Zhao Huai pondered, squinting and daydreaming.

"Shouldn’t that be the best proof of a girl’s integrity? What’s so strange about that? Besides, are we that old? Compared to those ’leftover women,’ we’re practically still kids."

Zhao Huai...

Kids?

Kids who have kids already?

Haha!

Qin Mu teased him, so when they arrived at the office building and she was about to get out, Zhao Huai turned to her and said, "Xiaomu, if you’re still a child, then Yichen would be accused of child abduction, that’s no small matter!"

Qin Mu...

Mu Yichen had just finished a meeting and was going upstairs when he encountered Qin Mu in the elevator. Secretary Xi was surprised to see her but immediately greeted, "Young Madam!"

Qin Mu smiled, remembering the last time she met Secretary Xi.

Then, the two entered the office, where Mu Yichen took her bag off her shoulder, placed it aside, and sat down with her on the sofa with his arm around her shoulder, "Was lunch to your satisfaction?"

"Absolutely satisfying!"

Qin Mu nodded in response.

"That’s good to hear!"

He gently pulled her into his embrace, itching to kiss her.

Qin Mu was about to be pressed on his thigh, so she quickly grabbed his wrist and asked curiously, "Can we discuss official business first? What did you call me to your office for?"

Mu Yichen still wanted to hug her and kiss her a bit longer, so he frowned sadly, "Isn’t this something that can’t wait for even a minute? It’s important too, right?"

Qin Mu looked at him with wide eyes, and Mu Yichen, feeling a bit sore, lowered his head to bite her nose, startling her into leaning back, which sent her straight onto his lap, where he pinned her mouth shut, perfectly sealing it!
