His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1181: Chapter 332: If She Is a Donkey, Then What About President Mu (Part 3)

”If Old Qin knew Jing Qing was back, I wonder what he’d do. Would he abandon his wife to protect Jing Qing again?”

Jiang Zhiyuan watched as the elegantly dressed Jing Qing descended from the Jing Family’s house, admiring the grace in her demeanor. Qiao Yi was especially captivated by Jing Qing’s impressive figure and the apparent sophistication she carried.

However, that’s not the main point. The point is most people believed Jing Qing had died, and it’s her first appearance before so many people. So, upon hearing the footsteps of high heels coming down the stairs, everyone in the living room looked at Jing Qing as if they’d seen a ghost.

”This girl had some health issues abroad for the past few years, and she came back just in time for my birthday this year.”

The old master easily found an excuse, and no one dared to question him.

Only Mu Yichen standing by sighed helplessly.

Jing Feng walked out from the kitchen, carrying a drink, and stood beside Mu Yichen and Jiang Zhiyuan: ”Don’t worry about it, Qin Mu didn’t come back, so no one will know my sister was here.”

As soon as Jing Feng finished speaking, Mu Yichen instinctively glanced at Helian Hao, who was helping with tea nearby, thinking, Are you sure?

The juniors stood by the window, each with a glass of wine in hand, aimlessly gossiping to pass the time, while Jing Qing went to the sofa to sit with the old master of the Jing Family.

”Jing Qing has grown even more beautiful during her time away! Jing Feng, I bet there are many pursuing her?”

”Why? Are you planning to change your target?”

Jing Feng, still holding his drink, cast a sharp glance at Jiang Zhiyuan.

”Of course not! I still think An Nan suits me better. I just wonder if old Qin still thinks Stream Secretary is better.”

Jiang Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, unable to help but notice how Jing Qing exchanged pleasantries with the elders beside the old master.

Helian Hao even assisted in pouring tea once, quickly leaving before anyone could praise her.

Helian Hao looked displeased at Jing Feng, who then lowered his head as if he hadn’t seen it.

”I suggest you leave early!”

Helian Hao gave Mu Yichen a reminder.

Mu Yichen intended exactly that, briefly bowed his head, and then looked up to see Jing Qing approaching them from the other side, with her gaze clearly fixed on him.

Mu Yichen glanced sideways at the doorway, clearly wanting to leave.

”Mu Yichen! Zhiyuan, it’s been a long time!”

Jing Qing softly greeted them, seemingly returning to the time when Mu Yichen just returned from abroad, and she possessed that same gentle and charming demeanor.

”Long time no see! You’ve become prettier!”

Jiang Zhiyuan courteously remarked.

Though he felt more comfortable with his Xiaomu sister compared to Jing Qing, Qin Mu seemed a bit aloof, but he could still manage with Qin Mu. Jing Qing appeared soft, yet she was someone hard to approach.

”Thank you!”

Jing Qing didn’t say much more, just turned to look at Mu Yichen again, finding him as cold as ever, unwilling even to look at her.

”I’ve got a boyfriend now! Don’t be afraid!”

Jing Qing softly said.

Mu Yichen turned to look at her, displeased with her comment.

And the air thickened with an inexplicable awkwardness.

”I haven’t told you yet, my sister is getting married!”

Jing Qing placed her hand on Mu Yichen’s shoulder, sharing with a bit of sentiment.

Jiang Zhiyuan...

”Congratulations!”

Mu Yichen merely offered a mild blessing, noting they hardly qualified as friends now.

”Thank you!”

Seeing him unwilling to converse further, Jing Qing planned to remain silent but couldn’t help watching him a bit more.

The last time she returned, he enlisted Jiang Zhiyuan and Qiao Yi to send her away overnight, warning her not to return.

So now if he sees her at home, he’s probably furious?

But knowing his nature, he wouldn’t act out toward her in such a setting.

”I heard Qin Mu went to Paris! If you’re so in love, why not go after her?”

Jing Qing couldn’t help but ask him curiously.

Helian Hao, standing nearby, also involuntarily looked up at Jing Qing, thinking Jing Qing was meddling, yet interested to hear how Mu Yichen would respond.

”She’s just there seeking inspiration! Once she finishes her work, of course, I’ll go.”

Mu Yichen replied more blandly.

Jing Qing, not fully convinced, nodded: ”True, how could you bear leaving her abroad so long. Even before you got married, you went to see her at least once a month, didn’t you?”
