His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2306: Chapter 665: One Year Later (42)_4

Mu Qingxin didn’t get into the car immediately, she pulled Qin Mu slightly aside, so Feng Fanghua wouldn’t see their expressions: ”I promise to bring them here this afternoon.”

”Okay!”

Qin Mu listened to Mu Qingxin speaking so softly, realizing she too feared Feng Fanghua hearing, so she simply agreed. Actually, now, even if they don’t bring them, Qin Mu wasn’t afraid anymore, as long as Mu Yichen was willing to give her the children, she wouldn’t refuse.

Besides, she was supposed to discuss something with Mu Yichen at lunch, she had been worried the kids might overhear, now it seemed perfect.

After seeing Mu Qingxin leave, Qin Mu drove her car in the direction of Mu Yichen’s office.

Upon reaching the building, Qin Mu stepped out of the car, didn’t raise her head, and walked inside with her bag.

She smiled and greeted the people she met, then entered the exclusive elevator for the boss.

The elevator was empty, yet clean, moderately warm, Qin Mu stood there, gazing at the view outside, realizing today there seemed to be a thin layer of fog outside.

The further Qin Mu looked, the blurrier it became, the elevator moved steadily, arriving at the top floor. As the door opened, her eyes lifted again, and she saw Xi Meng standing at her workstation, talking on the phone, holding some documents in her other hand, not sure what she was verifying with the person on the line.

When Xi Meng heard the sound, she sluggishly lifted her eyes, and upon seeing Qin Mu, she hurriedly nodded.

Qin Mu gestured with her eyes and hands to ask if Mu Yichen was inside; after Xi Meng nodded, she raised her hand and walked towards his office.

Mu Yichen was working; when Qin Mu knocked, she heard him call her in, so she pushed the door open to see the man focused on work. She quickly averted her gaze, reminding herself of the business at hand.

”Mr. Mu, sorry to interrupt!”

She walked over, greeting him softly.

Mu Yichen raised his eyes, seemingly surprised to see her, then chuckled: ”Sit down first!”

Qin Mu put her bag down and sat across his desk, he swiftly read the last two lines, then elegantly signed his name, closed the pen, precisely gazed at her, meeting her eyes.

”Where are the siblings?”

Mu Yichen asked.

”Oh! We ran into their grandma and aunt when leaving the shop, they went to eat with them!”

Qin Mu explained briefly.

Mu Yichen instantly understood the real reason, adding nothing more, they both knew the situation well, no need to spell it out bluntly.

”Are you done busying yourself?”

Qin Mu asked him.

”Already finished, what do you want for lunch?”

Mu Yichen said, still sitting, his deep voice asking her.

”Anything is fine! Don’t worry about me!”

Qin Mu replied, thinking he always considered her feelings during meals, making her seem too selfish.

Besides, today she was seeking a favor, best to accommodate Mr. Mu more.

Mu Yichen stared at her for a while, smiled, then stood up.

”Let’s go then!”

Mu Yichen said as he grabbed his coat, Qin Mu hurriedly stood up too, surprised at his eagerness.

Though she said anything was fine, it shouldn’t be too casual.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mu brought her to their employee cafeteria, ha!

Qin Mu wasn’t here for the first time, but...

She also wanted a quiet place to discuss things with him; now it seemed hard to talk in this environment!

Moreover, as soon as they sat down, Xi Meng and Zhao Huai came over as well, making Qin Mu somewhat discouraged, feeling today’s lunch wouldn’t allow for any serious talk, only unsure if her brother-in-law would be disappointed in her.

”Haven’t had a meal in our employee cafeteria for a long time? How’s the feeling?”

Xi Meng asked her.

”Hmm... pretty good!”

Qin Mu replied helplessly, looking around, only able to say it’s pretty good.

Xi Meng saw she seemed to have something on her mind, uncertain if she and Zhao Huai were being redundant, intending to finish their meal quickly and leave space for the couple.

However, observing Mr. Mu, he didn’t seem in a hurry, nor was he bothered by the presence of two extra people, appearing quite at ease.

Zhao Huai wasn’t very talkative, just asked Qin Mu: ”Do you plan on reopening the studio? Xiaomei is now bored, looking to work.”

”No!”

Qin Mu glanced at him, responding simply.

”Xiaomei would probably be very upset to hear that.”

Zhao Huai said, though he was the most disappointed.

”If she really wants to work, ask if she would like to come to Paris with me, after all, she’s familiar over there, I...”
