CHAPTER 1165: CHAPTER 329: IN THE NAME OF HUSBAND AND WIFE

"JY?"

The spring breeze made her face itch a bit, and as Qin Mu turned back, she heard the man across from her call out those two letters.

There was an unexplainable loneliness in her heart, though she managed to pull out a somewhat graceful smile.

"Long time no see!"

As soon as Rui Sen saw him, he ignored Qin Mu and walked over.

Qin Mu stood to the side, watching them exchange pleasantries. Jian Yan, while shaking hands with Rui Sen, kept his eyes on Qin Mu, as if asking why she was with him.

Qin Mu walked over: "Ran into him on the road!"

"Wipe your mouth!"

Jian Yan’s eyes seemed to only have Qin Mu in them. After withdrawing his hand, he put it in his pocket and gently reminded Qin Mu.

Qin Mu looked up, and realizing what he meant, immediately took her hands out of her warm coat and touched the corner of her lips, finding some crumbs stuck there.

She immediately licked and ate it, actually because she didn’t know where else to wipe it. But in the man’s eyes, it gave a different impression.

"Let’s go inside, it’s too windy!"

Jian Yan said, and then Rui Sen wanted to follow them inside. However, Jian Yan turned around: "Sorry, we have some business to discuss!"

Rui Sen...

Jian Yan turned and followed Qin Mu inside, while Rui Sen stood outside blinking, completely unable to understand why he was so unwelcome.

Rui Sen could only watch the empty window, slowly stepping back, unable to catch up before, and now even more so.

She really has changed!

Qin Mu went to make two cups of coffee. Jian Yan held one cup but didn’t rush to drink, instead just asking her: "So you stayed at the Mu Family villa yesterday?"

"Yeah! Grandpa’s health isn’t good, so as long as my in-laws are with Grandpa, I’ll probably stay there."

Qin Mu nodded, lowering her eyes and sipping the coffee lightly.

Jian Yan also drank a bit, then asked her again: "How’s the wedding dress coming along?"

"Almost finished, the wedding dress owner will come in a couple of days."

Qin Mu said.

Jian Yan leisurely picked up his coffee to drink. Normally a man who would never drink instant coffee, he only does so when this woman makes it for him.

Later, when Qin Mu was working, he took a spray bottle to the balcony intending to water the flowers, but seeing the pots were still wet, he just lightly sprayed some water on the leaves.

Occasionally, Qin Mu looked up at him, and suddenly remembered what AD had said to her, should they really keep a distance?

In the past, Qin Mu always felt everything should be faced calmly, and regarding matters with Jian Yan, she had always been steady and presentable. But because of Xiao Wei’s issue these past couple of days, she always felt maybe she shouldn’t be appearing in front of Jian Yan anymore.

Previously, she always felt their mentor-mentee relationship was so deep, nothing and no one could tear it apart. But now, all of a sudden, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Perhaps they should have some distance, only then can he have a new life.

Until now, she couldn’t overlook his feelings for her anymore.

Jian Yan felt her gaze and turned to look at her, but by that time she was already working diligently again.

"You haven’t been checking on Rongcheng lately?"

Jian Yan went back inside, leaned against the wall and asked her.

"Yeah! Xiaomei and David are handling it."

Qin Mu replied.

"David’s alright, but Xiaomei lacks managing skills, you should still check in from time to time."

Jian Yan lowered his head, still holding that cup of coffee.

"I don’t need to check in, Xiaomei... see, another call!"

Qin Mu was just about to say Xiaomei calls her every day, and sure enough, the phone rang.

Jian Yan looked on disbelievingly as she took the call, hearing Xiaomei’s lazy voice on the other end: "Sister Qinqin, I’m exhausted, when are you coming back?"

"What about David?"

"He’s just focused on designing his fashion every day, doesn’t want to deal with things. I try to manage, but those clients aren’t fond of me. I have to keep pretending to be your assistant, saying you’re just away on a business trip. Qinqin, if you don’t come back, our studio can close."

Xiaomei kept chattering on the other end without stopping. Her assistant nature never changes, rushing about in the studio urging everyone, then calling Qin Mu to report work.

"Work hard for bonuses!"

"Ugh!"

"Qinqin, you’re getting worse, ever since you left, I’ve had no time for dates."

"Really? I heard people say you spend hours in my office with Zhao Huai."

"What? That’s definitely a rumor, who told you? I’m going to confront them."
