His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1727: Chapter 483: Why Does Dad Always Bite You? (Part 2)

Helian Hao also agreed.

”But in that case, Mu Yichen can’t keep using business trips as an excuse anymore!”

Qin Mu thought of Mu Yichen’s worn-out excuses, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Helian Hao turned to look at Qin Mu: ”He always says he’s going on a business trip, just to visit you, right? Does he always act very cool, pretending to be serious like an elder brother when he sees you?”

”He’s the quintessential domineering CEO, just like the male chauvinist CEO from a rich family novel.”

Qin Mu said, feeling that he really was just like in the novels, but thankfully he doesn’t strangle or mistreat her.

”Hey! In that case, our Jing Feng is practically a perfect gentleman!”

Helian Hao suddenly felt that Jing Feng had such a good temperament; he’s always been the type to endure since he was young, even towards his feelings for her.

”Yeah, two men with completely different personalities, yet they become good brothers!”

Qin Mu couldn’t figure it out either, but isn’t life just so fascinating?

On the contrary, people with the same temperament can easily become enemies, and the deep-seated kind at that.

”I wonder if they often talk about us when they’re together. I bet Mu Yichen must frequently complain about you!”

Helian Hao said.

Qin Mu laughed helplessly, unintentionally raising her eyes and noticing someone standing at the door.

Qin Mu, holding a mop, slowly straightened her bent waist.

Helian Hao didn’t hear her response and looked at her, then followed Qin Mu’s gaze to the door.

Gongzhi Ping’an.

”Ha! How did you end up here?”

Helian Hao was the first to speak, asking the man at the door.

Gongzhi Ping’an smiled, carrying food and drinks.

”I just came by to check on something here, and heard that Qin Mu’s studio is here, so I came to take a look. I happened to see you two cleaning, so I went back to buy some food to bring over. How’s that? Am I a good buddy or what?”

Gongzhi Ping’an casually walked over with the items.

After that, the three of them sat in the visitor section of the sofa, Qin Mu and Helian Hao each holding a cup of cappuccino, while Gongzhi Ping’an smoked a cigarette, frowned at them staring at him intently.

”You two have been staring at me for almost half an hour, I’m not some statue, you know!”

Gongzhi Ping’an smiled awkwardly and reminded them.

”What are you investigating? Coming to such a remote place!”

Helian Hao glanced outside, unable to understand, but couldn’t help being curious, so she asked directly.

”It’s work-related stuff, not convenient to disclose. Why? Even if there’s nothing going on, can’t we just sit together occasionally? I won’t even bring up Qin Mu, but you and I grew up together.”

Gongzhi Ping’an said.

”Haha! Precisely because we grew up together, I know you too well, so your sudden appearance here,...”

Helian Hao didn’t continue guessing, only looked at him with suspicion.

Gongzhi Ping’an felt creepy being stared at like that by her, and smiled even more awkwardly.

”Qin Mu, you don’t think of me as she does, do you? I’m not a bad person!”

Gongzhi Ping’an playfully acted like a nobleman, pretending to explain seriously.

”Hmm!”

Qin Mu agreed with a meaningful tone, but she didn’t really know Gongzhi Ping’an. However, she recalled Mu Yichen saying last night that Gongzhi Ping’an had been drinking with him, so Mu Yichen’s friend must be alright, right?

Helian Hao grew up with these boys like brothers, and talking like this now was common and natural, Qin Mu thought to herself, and thus wouldn’t speculate further.

Helian Hao held her cappuccino, looked at Gongzhi Ping’an’s expression, scoffed, and added: ”Speaking of which, Little An Zi, shouldn’t you find a partner? At our age, you’re the only one without a partner, right?”

”I’ve had girlfriends before, just that during those years away, you guys didn’t know. So, don’t pin the ’only one without a partner’ label on me.”

Gongzhi Ping’an shook his head, sat sideways, leaned over to pick up the coffee from the table, sipped a bit, then rested it on his knee, looking up at the two women across.

”What kind of girl was she? Why did you break up?”

Helian Hao asked him curiously.

Qin Mu found herself curious about Helian Hao, glancing at her.

”Hmm! Quite melancholic!”

Gongzhi Ping’an seriously thought about it. If that girl hadn’t been so melancholic, perhaps they wouldn’t have broken up?
