Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Husband Hero Saves the Beauty (5)

The couple’s primary purpose in coming to France this time is to celebrate their honeymoon!

“Hmm…”

Qin Mu cast a deep look at the woman before him, whose face was still pale. There was a trace of pain in his eyes. Yet, when his gaze fell on the drawing board she had been carrying on her back all along, the corners of his mouth raised in mockery.

Mu Wan insisted on bringing her drawing board even to France—truly determined.

Initially, Qin Mu had merely assumed that the woman was deeply passionate about painting. But now, it seemed he had misjudged. Mu Wan’s true obsession was that sketch of her basketball senior.

Mu Wan had no idea what the police chief had said. She simply nodded lightly, while the female secretary leaned in close to her and whispered in translation.

“Miss Mu, he knows you’re Mrs. Qin, so he’s greeting you.”

“Hmm…”

Mu Wan pressed her lips together and prepared to offer her right hand. Yet, remembering that her right hand had just been scraped raw, bloody and torn, she found it somewhat disrespectful. She chose instead to extend her left hand.

“Hello… I’m Mu Wan. I’m sorry for all the trouble I caused today.”

Mu Wan’s expression was serene, her beautiful eyes filled with sincere apology.

Today, she’d acted instinctively to pick up the sketch, not realizing it would lead to such a mess.

Upon hearing Mu Wan’s words, the female secretary noticed Qin Mu’s unpleasant expression and immediately translated her words verbatim for Director John.

Director John listened and responded with a broad smile etched across his face.

“No trouble at all. It’s my honor that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin chose France as their honeymoon destination. It’s just a little matter. Next time, if you’d like to do outdoor sketches, let me know. I’ll have someone arrange the best location for you.”

As Mu Wan carried the elegance of an Eastern woman—delicate and serene—she resembled a fairy-tale maiden. Polite and courteous, she effortlessly evoked goodwill.

Upon hearing the secretary’s translation, Mu Wan felt even more uneasy. She was somewhat overwhelmed by the attention.

She understood that such deference was extended to her mainly because of Qin Mu.

She couldn’t help but glance at Qin Mu’s expression. Seeing his discontented face, she swallowed nervously and dared not speak.

Qin Mu swept an icy gaze over Director John’s eager demeanor, then turned his focus to Mu Wan’s calm and unperturbed nature—still as water, yet like warm water gently flowing into the human heart…

She could captivate men any time, anywhere!

“It’s getting late. I’ll take my wife and head back now. Once the matter is resolved, Director John, please inform my secretary promptly!”

“Understood, Mr. Qin. Mrs. Qin, take care…”

“Hmm…”

…

Qin Mu’s grip on her wrist was intense. Mu Wan, held tightly by his grasp, frowned in pain. Unfortunately, he had grabbed her injured right hand—her small hand clenched into a fist from unconscious reflex. Her nails nearly pierced her palm. Mu Wan’s pain brought beads of cold sweat to her forehead, her complexion turning pale completely.

The female secretary nervously followed behind Mu Wan and Qin Mu, clearly sensing that Qin Mu was in an extremely foul mood today. Please, let nothing go wrong…

“Mr. Qin, the paper from Miss Mu’s drawing board was accidentally blown away by the wind after I removed the clip. It has nothing to do with Miss Mu, please don’t be upset…”

“Get lost… If even basic care can’t be handled, how can Dongheng International keep you? From today, you’re fired!”

If he hadn’t arrived quickly today, Mu Wan could’ve been in serious danger.

Female secretary: “…”

Mu Wan: “…”

Mu Wan looked at the secretary’s pale face, her heart clenching. She turned to the furious Qin Mu, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of chill.

“Qin Mu, it’s not her fault—it was me insisting on retrieving the sketch!”

Shit!

Upon hearing Mu Wan’s words, Qin Mu immediately ignored their location outside the police station and yanked her into his arms, yelling menacingly: “Mu Wan, your courage is growing by the day…”

In the next moment, his gaze landed on her wrist, gripped tightly by his hand. Her delicate fist was still bleeding faintly, and his expression shifted slightly!
