CHAPTER 1023: 297 CHECK POST_5

After lifting the blanket and slipping a leg in, it felt cold, so he instinctively moved closer to her.

"Ah! Are you trying to freeze me to death!"

Qin Mu screamed as his still slightly damp leg chilled her.

"I just want— to wear you out!"

Mu Yichen leaned in slightly and responded to her seriously in a low voice.

Qin Mu instinctively moved her shoulder to the side, trying to distance herself from the dangerous animal.

However, Mu Yichen raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace.

The coolness from Mu Yichen’s body made Qin Mu very uncomfortable, so she kept trying to push him away, but, alas, the difference in strength was too great.

"Cooperate obediently, and I’ll tell you what I discussed with your mentor."

Qin Mu looked at him with disbelief, and then gradually complied.

But...

After everything was done, he was warmed up, and she was panting, but wasn’t everything he told her just nonsense?

Every time, she realized she had been tricked only after suffering the loss. Qin Mu worried about her intelligence.

Mu Yichen held her from behind; the warmth of the big bed was all her doing, achieving such a warmth.

"Are you angry? Mrs. Mu looks especially tempting when she is angry!"

"Stop being insincere!"

Qin Mu muttered, tightened the blanket beside her as the weather cooled.

"How am I insincere? I’m just stating the facts!"

Mu Yichen whispered, then took hold of her softest spot under the covers.

Qin Mu held her breath, unable to tussle with him, so she closed her eyes, allowing him to have his way.

In the late morning, she tidied up the drawings she had been working on at home, made necessary changes, and was about to head to the studio. As she went downstairs, she saw an aunt carrying two big boxes back from outside, curiously asked: "What did you buy?"

"The young master asked me to buy electric blankets. He’s probably afraid you’ll catch a cold, and the blankets at home are all old, so we replaced them with new ones."

The aunt explained. The two aunts behind her also carried blankets inside.

Qin Mu...

Hehe!

"I’m off to work!"

Qin Mu had nothing more to say, probably some elders heard Mu Yichen instruct the aunt to buy blankets so they let them buy together. But changing to new ones is good too, the old ones always had issues.

She still remembered in Paris, the electric blanket she used the second year was prone to short-circuit, it was quite scary.

Heard that Jian Yan hadn’t arrived at the studio either, seems he was invited by AD to shop. However, she did see Zhao Huai looking for Xiaomei, both standing at the restroom door, Xiaomei with her head down, one hand twirling the other, looking as if making a difficult decision.

Zhao Huai stood across from her, seemingly waiting for her to speak.

Qin Mu stood quietly in a corner, secretly watching, a bit like a child.

Qiu Xiang whispered in her ear: "They’ve been like this for over twenty minutes! I want to use the bathroom!"

Qiu Xiang crossed her legs, almost about to cry from the discomfort.

Qin Mu...

"Brother Zhao, let’s have some tea!"

Qin Mu suddenly waved and greeted towards the restroom area.

Only then did Zhao Huai shift his gaze from Xiaomei: "Coming!"

"Xiaomei, make some tea!"

Qin Mu shouted again, then turned to glance at Qiu Xiang.

Qiu Xiang happily puckered her lips to blow her a kiss, then seeing Zhao Huai come out, quickly dashed towards the restroom.

A few colleagues outside watched as Zhao Huai went upstairs, moving their chairs to head towards the restroom.

After going upstairs with Qin Mu, Zhao Huai sat on the sofa in her office: "What made you want to invite me for tea?"

Qin Mu also sat down on the single sofa, then looked at him with interest: "I should be the one asking you! How did you and your god-sister block the only restroom in our studio? Weren’t you saying you had no feelings? Or is it that you only have no feelings outside of the restroom?"

Zhao Huai: "..."

Are women these days all so blunt?

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Qin Mu curiously awaited his answer.

"What do you want me to say? But Xiaomu, you indeed have a pretty sharp tongue now, like a knife."

Zhao Huai looked at her and admitted this fact.

Qin Mu merely smiled nonchalantly: "I blame Mu on this, he taught me!"

Zhao Huai: "...Indeed, that’s exactly his tone!"

Zhao Huai felt a bit awkward but had no choice but to admit it, while also taking out his phone.

Qin Mu lowered her eyes, quickly noticing his action, immediately said: "You’re not planning to report me to Mu are you? Xiaomei hates men who are wishy-washy and love to report."

"I was just checking if there were any emails!"

Zhao Huai, panicking, hurriedly changed his mind, opened his phone, checked his emails, and seeing none, put it away again.

Xiaomei brought in tea, looking at them sitting together a bit seriously, inexplicably also a bit anxious, dared not to ask, after putting down the tea also did not rush out, just lowered her head carefully observing their expressions.

Qin Mu lifted her eyes, seeing her curiosity so big, blinked: "Aren’t you supposed to be working?"

Xiaomei: "..."

Zhao Huai, however, was easy-going, raising his eyes to smile and said: "You go wait for me outside!"

Xiaomei was made blush red instantly by his somewhat gentle exhortation, reflexively looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu’s sharp gaze felt like it was penetrating her heart, Xiaomei blushed, her ears burning fiercely, her mind stopped working, hurriedly lowered her head, held her breath, and turned to leave.

Qin Mu sighed helplessly, watched Xiaomei less willingly close the door behind them but did not rush to speak, feared Xiaomei was eavesdropping.

But Xiaomei indeed was eavesdropping, stomped her feet anxiously as she couldn’t hear anything for several minutes, and then went downstairs.

Qin Mu sighed after hearing her sulking footsteps: "This girl truly is..."

"What’s with Xiaomei?"

Zhao Huai instinctively voiced his concern.

Qin Mu only sighed, hearing Zhao Huai’s question, deliberately said: "Don’t you think she’s very childish?"

"Didn’t notice!"

Zhao Huai frowned slowly.

"That’s because you’re both childish, god-brother and god-sister? Sweet Nineteen Sisters?"

Qin Mu couldn’t resist making fun.

Zhao Huai...

——

At 6:30 pm, the extended Lincoln limo stopped at the hotel’s entrance. After Jian Yan and AD came out, the staff helped open the car door. AD got in first, followed by Jian Yan, and the door closed, heading towards the Mu Family.

Bian Jingwen came to the hotel intending to find AD for dinner, of course under the guise of dinner to curry favor and gather information. But when she drove to the hotel, she saw AD and Jian Yan getting into the hotel’s car together, subconsciously parked her car beside, holding her breath, not pleased watching the black car go farther.

Bian Jingwen had a bad feeling; initially, AD was very hostile towards Jian Yan, seeming like they would never interact. But now they were riding together in one car. Bian Jingwen instinctively restarted her car to follow.

"If I just follow like this, are you sure it’s okay?"

"What’s the problem? But it indeed seems improper for us to go empty-handed."

Jian Yan and AD chatted sporadically on the way.

AD glanced at the man sitting next to her, then laughed: "Do you take me for you? Visiting someone’s house without bringing gifts?"

Jian Yan’s gaze instinctively shifted to her somewhat large handbag.

"Sir, there seems to be a car following us from behind!"

The driver suddenly interrupted them.
