His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1830: Chapter 522: Who to Congratulate_3

”How about I invite you two for takeout lunch?”

Helian Hao tentatively asked, really feeling it was time to change the subject.

”I want to eat spare ribs in sauce.”

”You’re giving takeout to a pregnant woman?”

Qin Mingzhu immediately said.

”Then what do you want to eat?”

Helian Hao looked at Qin Mingzhu and asked. She never imagined she’d be treating Qin Mingzhu to a meal one day, knowing that for many years they had kept their own paths separate.

”I want to go to your restaurant and eat well!”

After all, as a pregnant woman, her appetite was indeed big.

”No problem, but considering your current mood, I’ll drive, you two just ride along.”

Helian Hao thought for a moment and then told them both.

Qin Mu happened to not feel like moving, and having someone as a driver was truly the best scenario.

For the first time Qin Mingzhu let Helian Hao treat them, feeling a bit better.

The three of them decided to go immediately. Helian Hao drove the car while Qin Mu called to reserve that quiet spot behind the bamboo blinds. After half an hour’s drive, they got there a little early before everyone got off work, so the journey was smooth.

However, just as they got out of the car at the hotel entrance, they were called out by Luo Li.

”Qin Mu!”

Luo Li came along with Fan Qing for a business meeting with a client. Seeing Qin Mu, she walked towards her, with Qin Mingzhu and Helian Hao standing still.

Luo Li gave her a hug first, then softly said: ”Take care!”

”Mm!”

Qin Mu understood from this sentence that Luo Li knew, then she went to hug Qin Mingzhu as well. Qin Mingzhu politely returned the hug, while Qin Mingzhu spoke with Luo Li, Qin Mu and Fan Qing exchanged glances. Qin Mu could tell from Fan Qing’s eyes that she knew too.

It seems that although the matter was not supposed to be disclosed, many people still knew.

After all, how could such a thing be kept a secret?

”I had dinner with Old Jiang and others yesterday and heard about it. Once you’re feeling better we’ll talk, okay?”

Luo Li originally wanted to say more to Qin Mu, but considering Qin Mu’s family matters, she had to pause for now.

”Alright!”

Before leaving, Fan Qing greeted Qin Mu, hesitating for a moment before walking off.

Helian Hao stood on Qin Mu’s other side, only speaking to Qin Mu once Fan Qing went inside: ”This girl seems quite familiar with you?”

”Not that familiar, but due to some things, we’re somewhat spiritually connected, why?”

Qin Mu felt a bit puzzled by Helian Hao’s words.

”She was having dinner here with the woman who snatched your husband and Jing Feng and I saw them. I wanted to tell you this, but since your father just passed, I didn’t mention it. That woman is waiting to see you embarrassed.”

Helian Hao said softly, still feeling upset about it.

”Let’s go inside and talk!”

Qin Mu put an arm around Helian Hao and another around Qin Mingzhu. The midday temperature must at least be thirty-seven degrees.

”I think you should keep your distance from that girl, if she’s not that woman’s friend, why else would she chat with her about such things?”

While going upstairs, Helian Hao couldn’t help but bring it up.

”Though I don’t understand what Xiaohao is saying, I think she makes a lot of sense!”

Qin Mingzhu said, turning her head to look at Helian Hao across Qin Mu, Helian Hao...

”Mm!”

Qin Mu agreed, really not having the energy to say much today. She planned to have a good talk with the two of them another day.

Once upstairs, they arrived at the spot they had reserved in advance. Qin Mu wasn’t in the mood to look at the menu, and Helian Hao had long since memorized it, so she handed it to Qin Mingzhu. Qin Mingzhu felt very much like a princess being pampered by her two sisters, seriously looking at the menu.

Clearly, they had eaten here for many years.

”Oh! I see there’s a new dish!”

Qin Mingzhu suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the menu.

”This dish has been out for two months!”

The waiter behind her explained, then tapped the screen and turned to another page pointing at another dish: ”This was introduced last week.”

”Don’t mind her, as a pregnant woman she can’t have dishes with too many spices.”

Helian Hao glanced at the menu, reminding the waiter.

The waiter straightened up slowly, not daring to be neglectful or show inappropriate expressions.

Qin Mingzhu immediately glared at Helian Hao: ”Eating a little won’t matter.”

”That would be wasteful! Qin Mu and I don’t like the new dishes lately!”

Helian Hao replied again.

”Then I’ll order this, I really like pig trotters, they’re great for beauty.”
