Chapter 907: 258 Deep Love, Profound Harm_2

"Disgusting you on purpose!"

Qin Mu deliberately widened her eyes at her and said, then started eating.

Helian Hao couldn’t help but laugh, "Childish!"

The two stopped bickering on WeChat and instead argued directly in front of the two men.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng and Mu Yichen clinked glasses as if they couldn’t hear the two women quarreling.

After the meal, Mu Yichen went back to the company, and Helian Hao grabbed Qin Mu, "There’s nothing to do after eating—let’s visit your store."

"You guys discuss at your leisure, I need to head back to the prosecutor’s office."

Jing Feng picked up his suit jacket, glanced at the two women clearly still in for the long haul, and didn’t linger.

"Okay, bye-bye!"

Qin Mu stretched out her hand and waved at Jing Feng before being pulled into the car by Helian Hao. The two drove off to the shop.

Qin Mu knew that Helian Hao intended for her to work off all the lunch she had eaten, but she didn’t get upset; she saw it as an opportunity to lose some weight.

However, halfway there, Helian Hao got a call from the hospital. Her first instinct was to call Qin Mu and let her know she wouldn’t make it.

But then Helian Hao thought about how badly she’d been duped earlier at lunch, so instead, she silently turned her car around at an intersection without telling Qin Mu.

When Qin Mu arrived at JY, she got out of her car and looked around but didn’t see Helian Hao’s car. A thought immediately sprang to mind: Damn it! Ditching me like that!

She quickly pulled out her phone to call Helian Hao. Helian Hao, already on her way back to the hospital, left her a rushed message: "Something urgent came up at the hospital, let’s go next time!"

Helian Hao hung up after that, leaving Qin Mu staring dumbfoundedly at the phone screen.

This woman, how dare she play her like that?

Oh well! Since she was already there, Qin Mu decided to head inside anyway.

Qin Mu picked out an outfit to try on, spun in front of the mirror a few times feeling satisfied, and wore it straight to the tea room to chat with the store manager. The store manager had recently dyed their hair purple, and Qin Mu couldn’t help thinking it looked odd.

The manager, apparently uneasy under her scrutiny, nervously ran a hand through their sleek short hair: "Does it look strange?"

"Kind of!"

The manager hadn’t expected Qin Mu to be so blunt and let out an awkward laugh, "You’ll get used to it!"

Qin Mu nodded in agreement but couldn’t help adding, "It really does look strange!"

The manager...

Feeling awkward herself, Qin Mu picked up her coffee to take a sip and tried to be a bit more pleasant with the manager.

"Makes your face look a little wide!"

The manager suddenly caught faint murmuring and wondered if they were hallucinating. They glanced up to see Qin Mu engrossed in sipping her coffee.

Qin Mu couldn’t understand how she had veered onto the path of tormenting others like this.

Actually, even when she said it, she was startled herself, which was why she hid her embarrassment behind her coffee.

Before heading back to the Mu Family, she made a quick stop at the Qin Family. She’d heard the boss was back at work today despite his current state, which really called for more rest.

She had heard of some high-quality supplements and had someone bring them from abroad. Today seemed like the right opportunity to drop them off.

Qin Haiming was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching the news, which seemed to be one of his most important daily rituals—watching the news.

Qin Mu quietly approached with the box, watching his composed profile, and unexpectedly felt a little warmth in her heart. The housekeeper came out from cleaning and, upon seeing Qin Mu downstairs, started to call out a greeting, but Qin Mu quickly made a "shushing" gesture.

The housekeeper laughed but stayed silent.

Feeling someone nearby, Qin Haiming lifted his eyes and turned his head, seeing Qin Mu.

"What brings you here?"

"Oh! Just passing by!"

Qin Mu walked up carrying the box.

That excuse—tried and tested yet unavoidable.

"A friend sent this. Given your recent head injury, it seems quite suitable."

She added while pretending it was no big deal.

Qin Haiming glanced at the box on the table, leaned forward to examine its label, and then leaned back on the sofa, smirking without asking if the supplements were actually from a friend. Instead, he asked, "Came all the way here to drop this off and you’re leaving right away?"

"Of course not! I’m just afraid of disturbing the leader while you’re pondering national affairs!"

Qin Mu thought to herself, I wouldn’t dare disturb the old man at the Mu Family watching the news, let alone you, boss.

Qin Haiming just gave a faint smile and turned his attention back to the TV screen.

The housekeeper brought a fresh pot of tea, and Qin Mu ended up sitting down to watch TV with Qin Haiming for a while, drinking a few cups in the process.

"The old man at the Mu Family still not planning to come back?"

"Hmm! Postponing from summer to fall, and now fall to winter."

Qin Mu replied.

"Hmm! Now the old man at the Jing Family is staying with him in the countryside. They used to be close, so they’re probably enjoying the pastoral life together."
