His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1388: Chapter 392: Daddy Teaches Mommy How to Kiss (Part 3)

”Honestly, I think I’m pretty great!”

Since your girlfriend decided to be shameless, I might as well go all out too.

So Qin Mu spoke up with a guilty conscience.

Helian Hao immediately turned her gaze toward Qin Mu, eyes wide in disbelief.

”You, pretty great? You can’t even cook, and you dare to say you’re pretty great?”

”Well, who can’t cook? But I can sew clothes!”

Qin Mu thought for a moment, realizing she does have some qualities.

”Qin Mu! I really underestimated you; I didn’t expect you to be so shameless!”

Helian Hao raised her hand to pat her shoulder, delivering her verdict slowly.

”We’re all girlfriends here; don’t say such harsh things!”

Qin Mu awkwardly reminded.

”You know how harsh it sounds? Aren’t you worried about looking bad?”

Helian Hao couldn’t help but laugh, giving her shoulder a playful shove. Qin Mu also couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, ”Well, as if afraid of boiling water!”

The dishes came quickly, and the waiter, seeing both of their flushed faces, couldn’t resist asking, ”Are you two alright?”

”Yes, we’re fine!”

Helian Hao and Qin Mu both looked up at him, and their direct gaze made the inexperienced waiter nod and leave awkwardly.

Just as they picked up their chopsticks, someone interrupted them.

”Miss Qin, Miss Helian!”

It was Li Man, but behind her was a handsome young man in a baseball cap, estimated to be as tall as General Mu. He was well-covered, so his face wasn’t visible.

”Li Man?”

Qin Mu and Helian Hao spoke in unison.

Li Man didn’t want to dine alone with the handsome guy, so she proposed they all eat together. The two couldn’t refuse, and the four of them sat together.

Later, Helian Hao leaned in close to the young man and discreetly asked, ”Could you sign a photo for me later? My junior is a huge fan of yours.”

Qin Mu and Li Man were sitting nearby and actually heard this.

”Sure!”

The young man couldn’t bring himself to say no, but instinctively glanced at Li Man, seemingly afraid she might be upset.

Li Man gave a slight smile and said, ”You might as well sign a few more photos for Miss Helian later. Don’t you always carry your photos with you?”

Before fame, people often do things that seem incomprehensible.

”Haha! Sounds good!”

The young man remained quite shy.

Qin Mu quietly asked Li Man, ”Is this the assistant you mentioned?”

”Not an assistant anymore!”

Li Man couldn’t help but sigh. After living through so much, it was the first time she had put herself in such a difficult spot. The most annoying thing wasn’t that this person kept following her, but that her beastly brother actually wanted her to keep this boy around and recruit him for their studio.

”I’ve heard some things! But he’s quite good-looking!”

Qin Mu whispered to Li Man, unable to resist stealing a few glances.

But Qin Mu’s heart was saying, ”I’m not boy crazy! I only love General Mu!”

Li Man received a call from Li Yu, and after seeing it, she wanted to hang up right away but reconsidered, eventually sliding her finger to answer.

Sitting at the table, the lively discussion suddenly died down, and Li Man unhappily said, ”Hello?”

”Where are you?”

”Having lunch with your artist! Weren’t you the one who told me to take good care of him?”

Li Man glanced at the young man sitting across from her and spoke.

”You’re listening for once. Stay this way, and I won’t have to worry about you as much!”

Li Yu’s voice came from the other end.

”Hmph! My good brother needn’t worry. If you have nothing else, I’m hanging up to eat!”

”Come back early after lunch; there’s work this afternoon.”

”Can’t head back so fast, we’ve already agreed to exercise together.”

”Exercise?”

Li Yu questioned from the other side, while Li Man decidedly hung up the phone.

”Are we really going to exercise this afternoon?”

The young man asked eagerly after she ended the call, his eyes full of excitement.

”Yao Jie, you’re overthinking it!”

Li Man had to remind him, perhaps a bit heartlessly.

Yao Jie was a bit disappointed, giving a somewhat awkward smile, ”Alright!”

Li Man knew she embarrassed him, so she quickly apologized, ”Sorry!”

”It’s okay! It’s really okay!”

Yao Jie had gotten used to it long ago; he just cared for Li Man.

Qin Mu and Helian Hao didn’t know what to say. Watching the awkwardness unfold, Qin Mu simply thought that using a boy to trick Li Yu was a bad idea.

Love unrequited is painful enough! But using love to deceive will be even more painful. It’s a pain that stretches continuously into the future.

So, no matter what happens with Mu Yichen, she will never find another man to deceive him, because that would only cause pain for all three involved.
