CHAPTER 1284: CHAPTER 357: LOVE YOU FOR TEN THOUSAND YEARS (PART 7)

At 7:30, Qin Mu, in a beautiful evening gown, accompanied the sharply dressed Mu Yichen to attend the gala he wanted her to go to.

It was then that Qin Mu realized she actually knew quite a few business people from Rongcheng, and even more of their wives.

Liu Jingyuan attended the gala with his wife, but the two couples did not run into each other. From a distance, Liu Jingyuan and his wife watched Qin Mu alongside Mu Yichen greeting senior figures in the business arena. Liu Jingyuan’s wife chuckled softly, "They really are a perfect match!"

"Aren’t we?"

Liu Jingyuan glanced down at his wife with a slight smile.

However, Liu Jingyuan’s wife felt a slight tension inside, fully understanding that the woman a man can’t have is always the best.

Mu Yichen did see Liu Jingyuan and his wife, but he had no intention of introducing Qin Mu to them. He wouldn’t bother himself doing something he did not wish to do.

"Yichen, mind if we borrow your wife for a bit?"

Soon enough, a few wives gathered behind Qin Mu and Mu Yichen. The couple turned around to see those few with bright eyes looking at him. Mu Yichen covered his awkwardness with a slight smile, then looked down at Qin Mu: "Don’t stay too long!"

"Oh come on, after being married for so long, you’re still so clingy. We’ll just borrow her for a little while. Mrs. Mu, do us the honor and join us for a chat!"

A sociable lady held Qin Mu by the wrist, and Qin Mu didn’t decline but followed them to one of the sofas by the window to sit down.

Just as they sat down, Hu Xiaoyan approached them with a glass of wine: "May I sit here?"

A few ladies were a bit taken aback at the sight of her, but quickly smiled and said: "Of course, Mrs. Shen, have a seat anywhere."

"Long time no see!"

Hu Xiaoyan greeted Qin Mu and then sat down beside her.

"How have you been lately?"

Qin Mu asked quietly, as they hadn’t met again since returning to the country.

"Pretty good! I wonder if these ladies here are looking to have Mrs. Mu make some clothes again?"

Seeing that everyone went silent due to her presence, Hu Xiaoyan decided to break the ice with a question.

"I didn’t expect Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Mu to be old acquaintances, but we’re not here to ask Mrs. Mu to make clothes. This time we want to ask Mrs. Mu for a small favor. We heard that next month your store is having a simple fashion show. Do you think we could have a moment in the spotlight? Usually, young models take the stage, but this time how about letting us, women in our thirties, have a runway in the cheongsam segment? Your brand isn’t just for the young, right? It’s a good opportunity to tap into the middle-aged market!"

A leading lady enthusiastically proposed to Qin Mu, while the others sitting behind her all nodded in agreement.

Qin Mu found herself rather intrigued by the idea.

"If it’s free, I can place you in the final segment, but it’s just a small-scale show, and I won’t invite any media for interviews. Are you sure you want to participate?"

"Wow! We’re just looking for something to do. If it works out, you can call on us again in the future for similar events. We plan to start a Cheongsam Association, so this could be beneficial for both. We’re not asking for your immediate return of favor."

Qin Mu...

Hu Xiaoyan couldn’t help but chime in: "Sounds like a pretty good deal!"

"Yeah!"

Qin Mu nodded in agreement, her voice soft but showing she wasn’t seeing any downside.

"Why is it so lively here? Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li, why are you all gathered here?"

Just as they were enjoying their conversation, Qin Mu nodded. Hearing someone call them "sisters," a few women raised their eyes to look over Qin Mu’s and Hu Xiaoyan’s shoulders and saw girls in cocktail dresses walking towards them.

"Jiaojiao, you’re looking even more beautiful after a while! We sisters almost didn’t recognize you!"

The leading lady said, then beckoned, "Come have a seat, we’re all familiar faces!"

Wu Jiaojiao led Lu Fei over to sit down.

But as soon as they sat down, Qin Mu, who had been slightly leaning forward, slowly straightened. Hu Xiaoyan gave a glance at Wu Jiaojiao, then looked at Lu Fei: "What are you doing here?"

"Second sister-in-law, I came with Jiaojiao, we’re good friends."

Lu Fei said and gave Wu Jiaojiao’s arm a little tug. Wu Jiaojiao, who was greeting the others, politely nodded and smiled at Hu Xiaoyan: "Hello, Mrs. Shen! I’ve heard so much about you, seeing is indeed believing, you’re as beautiful as a fairy."
