"Mu Yichen, put me down!" This is unbearable, I’m feeling dizzy from being turned upside down. Mu Yichen drove her to the hotel, Qin Mu’s eyes were red, as if she had been kidnapped. Once the car stopped at the hotel entrance, someone came to help her open the door. Although she didn’t want to get out, she also didn’t want to make things difficult for others, so she got out of the car. Mu Yichen held her and brought her into the hotel, carrying some items. "I better not see anyone I shouldn’t!" "Even if there is! I’ve already hidden them!" Mu Yichen, understanding her implication, said this to her. Qin Mu glared at him angrily, while Mu Yichen seemed amused: "I can’t even handle you, why would I dare to have anyone else?" Qin Mu’s mood eased slightly. Then she followed him towards the elevator. There were already people waiting for him in the hotel conference room, so he took Qin Mu to the room he had booked and then went to change into another newly bought black suit. "It should take at most an hour. Wait here a bit, and if you’re hungry, just order something yourself. You should be more familiar with this place than I am, no need for me to say more, right?" Mu Yichen said, looking at the woman sulking on the sofa. Qin Mu held her arms tightly, raising her eyes slightly. He leaned over, placing his hands on either side of her body, extremely close to her. Qin Mu choked up slightly, then nodded: "Okay!" "Then I’m heading out!" Mu Yichen’s voice finally softened; seeing her constantly upset, he also felt bad. Qin Mu didn’t argue with him further, not wanting to disturb his work over some petty emotions. After he left, she took off her bag from her shoulder and got up to wander around. Did he book the room here yet not stay to avoid misunderstanding? Qin Mu walked to the bedroom, seeing the bed as neatly made as if only cleaned but not occupied. Otherwise, there would have been at least a box of cigarettes by the bedside. She later lay on the bed spacing out, still feeling uncomfortable from earlier spinning, and couldn’t help but ponder why they had argued five months earlier. She couldn’t remember exactly, just that the night Qin Mingzhu had an accident, he said no one would dare harm Qin Mingzhu in Rongcheng. How could he have known that while Rongcheng had none, other cities did? Bian Jingwen must have counted on Mu Yichen making a wrong move, right? At least Bian Jingwen calculated Qin Mingzhu would turn against her, intending to win over Qin Mingzhu to her side. No matter how you look at it, even though Qin Mingzhu resented Qin Mu, she hadn’t joined forces with Bian Jingwen. Recalling these past events gave Qin Mu a headache—why are people so terrifying? Always scheming, anyone could become your enemy. There was a knock on the door, and Qin Mu bounced up from the bed, a bit confused, thinking she hadn’t ordered any food. Could Yichen have ordered food for her? He can be quite thoughtful sometimes. However, when she put on the hotel slippers to open the door and saw it was a pretty girl, Qin Mu was startled but quickly calmed down and looked sharply at the girl at the door. Wu Jiaojiao, visibly nervous upon seeing her, hadn’t reacted yet. "Looking for Mu Yichen?" Not very friendly! Yes, the attitude wasn’t very friendly! Wu Jiaojiao thought for a moment, then slowly nodded, appearing composed. Seeing the evasiveness in her eyes, Qin Mu smiled wryly: "You can come in and wait for him!" When Wu Jiaojiao saw Qin Mu step aside, her heart grew even more tense, but observing Qin Mu’s calm and proud demeanor, she couldn’t resist the provocation and indeed walked in. Seeing her attire, Qin Mu thought if Wu Jiaojiao changed her style, she would shine even brighter. But now, treating Wu Jiaojiao as a rival, she couldn’t care less about Wu Jiaojiao’s sense of fashion. "Please sit! Would you like something to drink?" "Sorry, it seems like there’s nothing here!" Qin Mu didn’t even bother to look inside or call the service desk but sat on the sofa before Wu Jiaojiao could sit down. Wu Jiaojiao sensed Qin Mu’s hostility towards her and slowly sat across from her. Get full chapters from novel(ꜰ)ire.net "Zichen and I both came from Rongcheng." Wu Jiaojiao explained. Qin Mu, from Wu Jiaojiao’s eyes, saw that Wu Jiaojiao assumed she didn’t know who she was. "Really? What a coincidence, I’m also from Rongcheng!" Qin Mu smiled slightly, looking at Wu Jiaojiao as if she were a teacher observing a student.
