Chapter 899: 256 Someone is peeking_5

Qin Mu felt strongly resistant in her heart, even the sales associate’s expression when she looked at them was rather peculiar.

"Do you two need any assistance?"

The sales associate politely stepped forward. This attractive man and woman made her reluctant to move her gaze away.

Indeed, the couple’s height, figure, and appearance were impeccable in every aspect.

This was the most upscale lingerie counter in the city. Both of them had been here before, but this was their first time coming together.

Since they were already here, Qin Mu picked out two items for him, and while she was at it, selected two for herself.

Mu Yichen gave her full authority, then sat on a sofa inside the store, quietly watching Qin Mu shop the entire time.

There were passersby and a few others shopping for lingerie, yet all their gazes were fixed on Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen remained composed, his eyes trained on Qin Mu, but Qin Mu noticed those women were staring at her husband. How could that be allowed?

Qin Mu handed the lingerie to the sales associate, then walked over, elegantly bending her long legs as she sat on his lap. Under his bewildered gaze, she raised her hand and wrapped her arm around him: "Darling, why don’t you help me pick two sexy lingerie pieces? Which style do you like me in? Sheer? Red? Super short?"

Qin Mu flirtatiously batted her eyes at him. Mu Yichen...

The surrounding people had to awkwardly avert their gazes, but one wealthy lady standing nearby couldn’t help but laugh: "I thought you two looked familiar, turns out you’re Yichen and Yichen’s new bride."

New bride?

The couple’s ears tingled slightly. When they looked up, they saw the lady, and Qin Mu immediately sprang off his lap, greeting her gracefully: "It’s been a while, Mrs. Chen!"

"How commendable that the Young Madam of the Mu Family remembers me! At the last gathering, your aunt even mentioned you, saying you were so busy drawing all day you nearly became foolish, and didn’t even pay attention to men. But looking at the two of you now, isn’t everything quite lovely?"

The lady swayed her curvaceous hips, her words dripping with false cordiality.

Qin Mu’s eyebrow involuntarily twitched upon hearing this. Feng Fanghua would say that about her?

Actually, at the banquet that day, when Mrs. Chen mentioned she had been fighting with her husband, Feng Fanghua casually remarked that every couple has arguments. She mentioned how this young couple from their family also quarreled every few days, but young people make up just as quickly after fighting, usually in bed.

By the time Mrs. Chen repeated it, the story had morphed into something entirely different.

Mu Yichen remained seated and unmoving, merely watching as the woman held his wife’s hand. It left him distinctly uncomfortable—weren’t they not even close friends? Why pretend to be so intimate?

Moreover, that was his hand, his hand!

Qin Mu, too, didn’t particularly enjoy it, but at this moment, it didn’t seem appropriate to wrench her hand away directly.

"Actually, we’ve always gotten along quite well. I fear my aunt might just have been joking to lighten Mrs. Chen’s mood. On the contrary, I’ve heard Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen have been talking about divorce lately? Oh dear, you’ve barely been married, why mention divorce already? And if you divorce, where would Mrs. Chen go find another husband who’s as rich and good-looking as yours?"

Qin Mu feigned courteousness with a wide grin, offering her "comfort."

Mrs. Chen...

Speaking of Mrs. Chen and the eldest son of the Chen Family, they were well-known in Rongcheng. Mrs. Chen, a former international beauty queen, had married into the Chen Family’s oldest son after years of being together. Though they’d just recently formalized their union, rumors abounded throughout the city that their marriage was heading for a split, and whispers claimed Mr. Chen had found himself a new flame.

Qin Mu had even seen a photo the other day, thinking how amusing it was that Mr. Chen cycled through lovers of the exact same type.

As Qin Mu spoke, she nonchalantly pried Mrs. Chen’s hand off her own, then smiled and said, "Men certainly prefer gentle women, like in our family. Mrs. Chen knows Yichen and I were childhood sweethearts, right? Honestly, it’s only thanks to my charming and sweet demeanor that Yichen has always kept me so cherished. Isn’t that right, Yichen?"

Qin Mu teased playfully, grinning as she addressed Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen merely shot her a disdainful glance, then grabbed the lingerie magazine beside him to flip through.

Qin Mu...

Mrs. Chen...

Mu Yichen realized after opening it that he’d acted a bit impulsively, but since the magazine was already open...

He feigned composure and continued flipping through the pages.

The women featured inside were all strikingly beautiful, especially those clad in seductive lingerie—plunging necklines, perfectly edited long legs, and the intricate detailing of the skimpy panties.

Mrs. Chen let out a low chuckle: "Is that so? But it seems Yichen’s hands are cherishing quite a few women these days."
