Chapter 586: 171 You are my queen_2

Mu Yichen heard his phone chime and picked it up for a glance. He frowned slightly upon seeing the photo his wife sent him, and subconsciously lifted his eyes to look at Su Zhen, who was diagonally across from him, several people away.

Su Zhen had already been watching him, and when she saw him looking her way, irrespective of how much disgust was in his eyes, she smiled and nodded at him.

Mu Yichen continued to listen to the report with a frown of annoyance, and then set his phone aside.

When the meeting ended, Mu Yichen tapped his hand gently on the edge of the table and then lifted his gaze to look at those seated around him.

"Let’s set a little rule, from now on, during meetings, no one is to bring their phones into the office, especially those who love to post on social media! This is the place where you serve, not where you show off and take pictures! Dismissed!"

After finishing his statement, Mu Yichen was the first to get up and leave, his presence as chilly as air conditioning, making people reluctant to approach him even in the heat of summer.

Su Zhen sat there dumbfounded without moving, while everyone else left one after another, seemingly still discussing who had been so bored as to take pictures during the meeting.

Su Zhen, who had added quite a few people on social media, suddenly thought of how everyone would soon know about her post, and immediately reopened her phone in anger, found her social media post, and deleted it.

As she looked at Mu Yichen’s side profile on the screen, Su Zhen felt as if her heart was pricked, and she gripped her phone tightly in her hand.

However, the upper echelons still found out, as everyone had seen her taking pictures with her phone aimed at Mu Yichen before the meeting started. Even the media wouldn’t dare to expose Mu Yichen without consent, and to everyone’s view, this woman was far too overconfident.

When Mu Yichen returned home at noon, he brought Huanhuan back as well, carrying many things in his hands.

Qin Mu, lying on the sofa and lifting her head, saw the two returnees, especially when she spotted the little one, and immediately crawled up from the sofa: "Huanhuan!"

"Mummy!"

Huanhuan ran towards Qin Mu on her little legs, and Qin Mu scooped her up from the couch in one swift move, startling Mu Yichen, who hurried over: "Now you know why Ms. Feng has been reluctant to let you take Huanhuan lately."

"Why?"

Qin Mu asked, curious.

Mu Yichen settled Huanhuan onto the couch and also sat her down, pressing her into the sofa: "No more rough handling like that, do you think you’re still on your own?"

He planted his hands on either side of her, on the back of the sofa, cornering Qin Mu against the backrest.

Huanhuan, unable to resist watching her parents being so close, covered her small mouth and giggled.

Mu Yichen turned his head and saw his daughter’s squinted eyes, so he had no choice but to let Qin Mu go: "I’ll go cook!"

Huanhuan couldn’t help but laugh, intentionally covering her mouth with her hand.

Qin Mu turned to look at her daughter and then, with one arm, pulled her onto her lap, pressing the little girl down: "You dare mock your mom, huh?"

"Hehe, Mummy’s shy!"

Huanhuan cupped Qin Mu’s lowering cheeks in her hands and squeezed hard.

Qin Mu...

Is this what they mean by a mischievous child, describing her Huanhuan?

Turning her head towards the dining area and thinking about Mu Yi preparing lunch, and the social media incident on her phone, she then let go of Huanhuan and headed to the kitchen.

"Mu Yi?"

A pair of slender hands clung to the doorway, and a beautiful face appeared, visible to the man in the kitchen.

"What’s the instruction? Mrs. Mu!"

Mu Yi was busy cooking earnestly; he glanced at Mrs. Mu when she appeared, then continued with his task.

Qin Mu approached and, with round eyes, looked at her favorite vegetable simmering in the pot: "Su Zhen has deleted your photo from her social media."

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for him to hear.

"Hmm!"

Mu Yichen still seemed disinterested, and Qin Mu looked up at him, unable to curb her curiosity.

Hadn’t he said something to Su Zhen, she probably wouldn’t have deleted the social media post so quickly, would she?

Now playing mysterious with her?

"Did you talk to her?"

Qin Mu asked again, curious and batting her eyes pleasingly.

"I just set a rule after the meeting that no phones are allowed during meetings, that’s all."

Mu Yichen continued seriously.

"Oh!"

Qin Mu felt genuinely shocked; she could almost imagine Su Zhen’s expression and internal world when she heard those words – it must have been quite a spectacle.

"Then you cook well, I’ll go play with our daughter for a while."

After speaking, Qin Mu slipped away, and Mu Yichen slightly raised his eyebrows, struggling to contain the urge to laugh at the sight of her trying to please him, finding satisfaction in her gestures.
