There were only three people in the elevator, Mu Yichen stood behind Jian Yan with a childish demeanor alongside Qin Mu. Jian Yan originally looked ahead, but upon seeing the reflection of the two behind him on the elevator wall, he lowered his gaze. He wanted to go upstairs to sleep, but Qin Mu didn’t let him have his way. When the elevator opened, Mu Yichen got out while Qin Mu stood inside motionless and pressed the close door button forcefully. Mu Yichen turned around, noticing her big unyielding eyes glaring at him. Mu Yichen’s dark eyes were as cold as an iceberg, looking as if saying: Woman, you’ve gone too far! Qin Mu arrived at the parking lot, walked briskly to her car, and immediately started the car upon getting in, leaving. Thinking of Jian Yan, she sighed helplessly. When she drove to the front of the house, she slowed down, but just as she returned home, Mu Yichen’s car arrived back as well, and he entered the yard even faster than she did. As if venting inner dissatisfaction. After Qin Mu parked the car, Mu Yichen had already gotten out, slammed the car door forcefully, standing there waiting for her to approach. Qin Mu parked but didn’t want to get close to him, walking around him. Mu Yichen with hands in pockets watched her walk inside, then looked down at his shiny black shoes: "Mrs. Mu, going in like that, the consequences will be severe." Qin Mu thought how severe could it be; his means were nothing but in bed! Oh! Also possible in many places! Qin Mu didn’t take it seriously, thinking I’ll go in and lock the door. She hurried upstairs, locked the door, and after locking it, exhaled forcefully, thinking you might as well spend the night out there, calm down, reflect. Mu Yichen went upstairs but didn’t go to the bedroom, instead went directly to the study, opened the drawer of the desk where lay a brand-new key. Mu Yichen’s beautiful hand took the key out, raised an eyebrow, then went out carrying it. The bedroom door was indeed locked as he expected, he casually inserted the key into the keyhole, then turned it. Mu Yichen pushed the door open and found no sign of her in the bedroom. Mu Yichen raised his hand to tug forcefully at his tie. Qin Mu was in good spirits playing soothing music. Thinking at this late hour, even if he returns and finds the door locked, he wouldn’t dare make a fuss, unless he intends to wake the elders and the children. But she knew, Mu Yichen absolutely wouldn’t do that. What she didn’t expect was, Mu Yichen had stored a spare key in the study. But this was actually her fault, he’s played the trick of using a key to open the door more than once or twice. She had once collected all the keys. Ha ha! She was the one who put them back! Mu Yichen only saw the key in the drawer once when he was retrieving something from the study, back then he was quite amused, shouldn’t she have it hidden really well? But afterwards, neither of them engaged in this childish game, so he didn’t bother. Who knew it would come in handy tonight! The next day, Helian Hao was at home resting, and invited Qin Mu over for lunch to have pasta, so Qin Mu went. Helian Hao dished up the pasta onto plates, then opened the lid of the pot to check the soup inside. "Hmm! Why did he say that?" Helian Hao first laid mats on the dining table, then went inside to bring out the soup pot. This content belongs to novel⸺fire.net Qin Mu finally straightened up, helping. "Jian Yan seemed to have said something stingy about him, then he started speaking perversely." "I just knew there had to be a reason! He always sees Jian Yan as a love rival, how could he lose face in front of so many people." "Only he is so obsessed with saving face!" But seeing the pasta on the table made her feel a bit better, it had been a while since she last had it, felt good. "Ah! Anyway, both of you are stubborn enough, the most pitiful person should be Jian Yan, obviously having feelings for you but has to pretend he doesn’t care, last night must have been quite tormenting for him; he originally has a stomach ailment." Helian Hao took two small bowls, each for them, served the soup, then sat down and spoke to Qin Mu. Thinking about Jian Yan’s stomach ailment again made Qin Mu worried, silencing her suddenly. "I was even thinking, why not introduce a girlfriend to Jian Yan, maybe he would feel better? There happened to be a good sister, nice personality too, but later I thought, what if it’s not someone Jian Yan needs? If it brings trouble, it wouldn’t be good, so I didn’t mention it to you." Qin Mu heard Helian Hao talking about introducing a sister to Jian Yan, sighed: "I’ve also thought of this, my mother-in-law mentioned it too, but I always felt he doesn’t like me meddling in his love matters, Xiaomei liked him before, cared for him devotedly when he was ill, but he didn’t even give her a second glance, Xiaomei’s character and appearance are both good."
