His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2250: Chapter 654: A Year Later (31) Your New Tactics Against Me? (3)

Mu Yichen still wasn’t angry and spoke to her gently: ”Compared to Mrs. Mu, what am I? I heard your assistant even gave himself a Chinese name, what was it?”

Qin Mu’s face turned even paler at once. Thinking about the name her assistant had chosen, she felt embarrassed herself, but it wasn’t her place to interfere with others’ affairs.

”The name doesn’t matter; what matters is his honesty with me.”

After Qin Mu said this, she left.

This time, Mu Yichen also said nothing, just listened to the door slam shut, and sat unmoving on the sofa.

But when Xi Meng opened the door, she saw the person inside looking cold as ice, as if a downpour was about to begin, scaring her into closing the door without a word.

Qin Mu sat behind her desk, already so angry that even breathing took effort.

Qin Mu thought to herself that this certainly traveled from Chen Xiaomei to Zhao Huai and then to Mu Yichen. She had considered what to do if Mu Yichen found out, but every time she thought about it, she felt it wouldn’t matter if he knew; they were already at the point of divorce, at the point of never contacting each other again, so what if he knew?

But upon hearing his words, her heart still ached.

Xi Meng returned to the office area and saw Qin Mu sitting there, holding her head, looking troubled. Not daring to disturb her, just as her phone rang, Xi Meng quietly answered it on the side.

Qin Mu, hearing the sound, brushed her hair to the side to pull herself together, then stood up to leave.

Xi Meng quickly hung up the phone: ”Qin Mu!”

”I’m heading back first. When the siblings arrive, have them go back with Mu Yichen.”

Qin Mu didn’t want to disturb her work, so she kept calm and explained.

”Hey! How can that be? Mr. Mu is going straight to the hotel tonight, so he surely won’t have time for the siblings. You’d better wait here; they should be arriving soon since we just called.”

Xi Meng quickly pressed her shoulder, preventing her from leaving.

Qin Mu sighed helplessly, ”Xi Meng, I know you want me to stay, but he just said to my face that he didn’t invite me. It was Xiaomei who asked Zhao Huai to plead with him.”

”Do you believe that? You must have had another fight, right?”

Xi Meng thought to herself, I know you both too well. When you argue, you always say the opposite of what you mean, stabbing each other and ending up both hurt, with true feelings buried deep.

Qin Mu remained silent.

”See! Definitely another argument! Over these years, you haven’t treated me as just a subordinate, and I dare to treat you as friends. The many times you two have broken up and reconciled are mostly due to not being patient enough with each other. Every argument leaves both sides thoroughly wounded, right?”

Xi Meng gently put her arm around her shoulder and let her sit down.

Qin Mu was pressed into the chair, silent again.

”If you trust me, listen to me. Let’s get dressed up and attend this party. Whether Mr. Mu still has feelings for you, you’ll know once you try.”

Xi Meng softly coaxed her.

Qin Mu gave a bitter smile, lowered her head, and softly said, ”I always knew his heart!” Then she let out another sarcastic laugh.

Their separation wasn’t due to lack of love, but because she was exhausted, she gave up.

She no longer wanted to live in fear of her husband’s infidelity. Being apart, no matter which woman was around him or how he treated them, she could ignore it all and not get angry.

”No wonder Old Qin always says that when it comes to the reason for your breakup, Mr. Mu never responds.”

Xi Meng suddenly felt Mu Yichen was somewhat pitiful too. Loving a woman who has no sense of security in love is indeed not easy.

But, when problems arise between a couple, it’s surely not just one person’s fault. Both must have issues.

”Perhaps Mr. Mu doesn’t even know what to say!”

Hearing Xi Meng’s helpless murmuring, Qin Mu started to laugh again, yet it was more pitiful than crying.

At night, Qin Mu took Chengcheng and Huanhuan to the Mu Family residence, following an order from Feng Fanghua’s phone call.

Past ten o’clock, in the hotel’s top-floor banquet hall, a group of young men and women changed out of their repressive work suits and uniforms, donning their most lavish attire. As the music began, people danced in the ballroom, teasing each other, and among colleagues, some became lovers, while others nearly cut ties completely.

Meanwhile, Mu Yichen sat alone on a corner sofa. Occasionally, someone would boldly offer a toast, but Zhao Huai and Xi Meng chose to ignore him since no one wanted to provoke the lion that could roar in anger at any moment.
