CHAPTER 1169: CHAPTER 329: IN THE NAME OF HUSBAND AND WIFE (PART 5)

When Qin Mu returned to her apartment, she saw Rui Sen standing at her door. Startled, she paused for a moment before approaching him: "Why are you here?"

"Wanted to see you!"

Yesterday, he wasn’t able to get inside.

Rui Sen looked at Qin Mu with that kind of gaze.

Qin Mu recalled that he was rejected by Jian Yan yesterday, so why should she let him in today?

After pondering, she spoke to him amicably: "Rui Sen, there’s no way between us!"

"I knew you’d say that!"

"Rui Sen! When it comes to relationships, we have a saying in Chinese, it’s called stubborn, very stubborn!"

"But it seems your husband isn’t here!"

Rui Sen observed today, noticing there was no private car by her door, and no one else coming in or out besides her.

Rui Sen knew her husband was wealthy, so he guessed she might have had a fight or broken up with her husband, which is why she came back here.

"Indeed, he’s not here! But that doesn’t affect my judgment about relationships!"

Qin Mu smiled as she spoke to him.

"Aren’t we friends? Weren’t we in Rongcheng when we..."

"We were classmates, but not considered friends!"

Qin Mu made it clear, replying with a smile.

"Qin Mu—"

"Rui Sen! I think I’ve made myself quite clear! Besides, my husband has a bad temper, and if you keep coming to see me and he finds out, it might not be good for either of us, so please, don’t come again!"

If a smile would make someone think you’re too easygoing, then she chose to put away her smile.

As she said this, she could no longer smile at him, and after speaking, she turned and entered the apartment.

A little before noon, Helian Hao sent her a video: "We’re having dinner, are you having lunch?"

"Not yet!"

Qin Mu replied, her eyes still intently fixed on her work.

"Hey! You’re not eating properly over there by yourself, are you?"

Helian Hao asked, noticing her intense focus on work and glanced to the side.

"That’s not quite it! But I’m indeed rushing on a wedding dress today."

"Oh?"

"So are you going to deliver the wedding dresses to them soon?"

"There’s express delivery now, no need to personally deliver, but the bride will come over to try it on first."

"Is that so? I’m on vacation now too, should I come and see you?"

"Sure! Bring my luggage along!"

She agreed while keeping her head down working.

"Your luggage?"

Helian Hao slightly frowned and glanced sideways again.

"Mu Yichen said he’d send it to me after I left, yet my in-laws came over, and still no sign of my luggage. If it doesn’t arrive soon, I’ll have to buy new ones! Last year’s clothes are already outdated."

Qin Mu confided to her.

"Uh! Maybe Mu Yichen can’t bear to send it to you, afraid you won’t come back!"

Helian Hao thought for a moment, and added.

"Impossible! It was his motivation that made me leave this time! Moreover, he even clarified that if he doesn’t come to fetch me, I cannot return, so if you come, please bring my luggage. I’m probably settling here for now, best to bring the computer from the study too, I still need those designs in there."

The more Qin Mu thought about it, the more she felt she had left too hastily, without bringing anything.

If it weren’t for Mr. Mu not allowing her to go back, she would’ve probably gone back herself to pack everything up.

"Well, what if I don’t go after all!"

Helian Hao felt downcast, thinking she wouldn’t dare to go to the Mu Family to fetch Qin Mu’s luggage, for fear that Mu Yichen might just tear her to pieces and throw her out.

"Not coming? Never mind then! But you still need to help me send over the luggage. I’ll make a list for you later; I almost forgot such an important thing until you mentioned it today!"

Qin Mu murmured, as she was working and somewhat distracted, chatting with her.

Helian Hao wiped her face, not daring to look sideways anymore.

Yet beside her, someone unseen, just seeing those straight black suit pants made her afraid to get close.

"You’ve already started vacation today? Seems like you’re in the apartment!"

Qin Mu said, looking at the painting on the wall behind her.

"Yeah! Having lunch at the apartment today, but I have to go back to the Jing Family’s old house in a day or two."

"Right! Isn’t grandpa Jing’s birthday coming up? Please wish him a happy birthday for me! Could you buy a gift for him on my behalf?"

"Hey! Qin Mu, can you be any more shameless?"

"At worst, I’ll give you the money!"

Seeing her reluctance, Qin Mu quickly added.

"Isn’t that something I don’t have to do? Mu Yichen should be sending a gift on behalf of both of you as a couple, right? Now only he’s at home, he might even send it on behalf of the whole family! This time it’s a money-saver!"

The more Helian Hao said, the more she felt it wasn’t worthwhile for the old man’s birthday this year.

Qin Mu almost wanted to laugh, thinking they truly hit a jackpot this year not being home.

"I won’t chit-chat with you anymore, it’d be a disaster if I sew the diamonds in the wrong place! Don’t forget what I tasked you with, find some time to send my luggage from the Mu Family!"

"Ask Mu Yichen to send it to you himself! If he won’t do it, you can ask the butler or the aunties at home; I don’t dare go to your house to get your luggage!"

Helian Hao admitted defeat.

"Everyone in the Mu Family stands by him, phone calls only bring greetings. If not afraid to promise, they promise but never deliver! That’s it, as my best friend there, please!"

Qin Mu said, then raised her hand to hang up the video, not even bothering to pick up the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey... just like that?"

Helian Hao looked anxiously at Qin Mu’s video hanging up, turning to look at the man sitting slumped in a single sofa beside her.

"Will you let me send the luggage to her?"

Helian Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, asking him.

Mu Yichen glanced up: "It’s not necessary!"

After all, she’s not short of money to buy new ones and was never reluctant to spend on clothing.

Mu Yichen stubbornly refused to overly satisfy the Parisian woman.

"Then you better tell her yourself, otherwise she’ll think I’m unwilling to give it to her!"

Helian Hao lowered her eyes, seemingly not pleased with getting involved in their affairs.

Mu Yichen was helpless: "What did you say about eating? Jing Feng’s cooking isn’t as good as mine!"

Helian Hao twitched her lips, completely unaware of what had gotten into Mr. Mu, deciding to showcase his culinary skills in her little kitchen.

Yet, Mu Yichen really stood up and headed to their kitchen.

Upon seeing him enter, Jing Feng couldn’t help but chuckle: "Can’t even bring yourself to look at her?"

"What wouldn’t I dare?"

He undid his shirt cuffs, revealing part of his arm, then went to commandeer their kitchen.

Jing Feng stepped aside but couldn’t help watching him with his earnest expression.

Helian Hao leaned against the door, quietly taking out her phone to record a short video.

Mu Yichen’s sharply contoured features almost seemed to glimmer, within three seconds of Helian Hao raising her phone, he reflexively glanced at her phone, giving her a fright, causing her hand to shake, releasing the button, and sending the video.

However, after that glance, Mu Yichen continued focusing on cooking.

Jing Feng came by Helian Hao, upon seeing the video she took, and realized Helian Hao sent it to Qin Mu: "No wonder he cooked at our house!"

"Hmm?"

"Crafty!"

Jing Feng stood beside Helian Hao, commented on Mu Yichen.
