"But if he likes your type, how could he possibly like a silly sweet girl like Xiaomei?" Helian Hao asked her. Silly sweet? Xiaomei? "Then what type am I? A manipulative woman?" Qin Mu’s eyes twitched, feeling very dissatisfied with her good friend. Helian Hao chuckled, "Manipulative? You’re so naive and always get schemed against by others, yet you’re called manipulative? You don’t even qualify for that title." Is this a compliment or an insult? Why can’t she tell the difference anymore? "And your relationship with Jian Yan, is it just ? Jian Yan will probably hold you in his heart for a lifetime; do you want him to or not?" "That’s none of your business!" "And your relationship with Mu Yichen, is it also just ? Do you want him to keep you in his heart forever? Anyway, he can’t get you out of his heart by himself." Helian Hao’s serious self-questioning and answering made Qin Mu feel a little uneasy. According to Helian Hao, she was a beneficiary in any case. "Mumu, do you have any feelings for Jian Yan beyond the mentor-student relationship?" "Without Mu Yichen, I actually think Jian Yan is more suitable for you. Although he’s a bit older, it’s obvious he has a more tolerant heart and shares your interests. Like many famous people, there are quite a few mentor-student marriages. Honestly, if it weren’t for seeing Mu Yichen clinging to you so pitifully for all these years, I’d want to pair you with Jian Yan!" Helian Hao said leisurely while stirring the pasta on her plate with a fork. Qin Mu was shocked by Helian Hao’s words, looking at her in disbelief. How was she supposed to respond? It might cause them to be separated forever. "What? You’ve never thought about it? Being with Jian Yan?" Helian Hao, seeing Qin Mu’s expression, grew more curious about her thoughts. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0velFire.ɴet Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile slightly and shook her head lightly. "How to think about it? From the beginning, when he was willing to teach me, I respected him like a father." Qin Mu shrugged and explained. "You must have heard the saying ’Teacher for a day, father for life’?" Qin Mu asked, seeing her stunned expression. "But if every mentor-student thought like you, then how could there be so many mentor-student romances in the world?" Helian Hao asked her. "I don’t know about that; I never thought about it!" Even when people later told her Jian Yan had feelings for her beyond the mentor-student relationship, she never thought about it that way. How could it be possible between mentor and student? A mentor is supposed to be more tolerant of their student, which is different from a romantic relationship. "Maybe Mu Yi cast a spell on you long ago, making it impossible for you to love anyone else but him!" Seeing Qin Mu like that, Helian Hao stopped doubting her words. Qin Mu, although she didn’t want to admit it, had to nod, "It’s possible!" From childhood to adulthood, handsome boys in front of her never moved her heart. It seemed all those good boys never had her Yichen’s face, so she always felt those boys weren’t the ones she needed in her heart. At that time, he was right there by her side yet so out of reach. Now, she’s finally caught him, but still, he torments her to no end! Sigh! That big jar of jealousy! "If Mu Yichen saw you pining for him, unable to let go of any handsome guys, he’d probably get so excited he’d lose sleep again." "Better not! Insomnia isn’t good for your health!" Qin Mu chuckled, feeling a bit excited and smug. Helian Hao’s gaze became a little annoyed with her, "Mumu, has anyone ever told you that when you talk about Mu Yichen, your emotions become very intense?" Qin Mu thought about it, feeling a bit unsure. But when Helian Hao said that, she thought carefully and realized it might be true. Xiaomei always said she had a blank expression at work, and she didn’t deny it! But when it came to talking about Mu, she wasn’t like that at all. "The most impregnable thing Mu Yichen has done in his life probably isn’t his vast business empire, but you, this little woman." The bad mood she came with became better after Helian Hao’s random chatter. It seemed quarrels were nothing; the most important thing was that deeply rooted emotions were unbreakable by anyone.
