Many things truly are beyond expectation!
"However, that the Mu Family accepted you so quickly is truly surprising to me, and they even agreed to keep your marriage a secret. These two elders have truly earned my deeper respect,"
"They probably didn’t do so willingly."
Qin Mu felt a weight lifted off her after saying this!
After work, Qin Mu was taken to AM for dinner. Mu Yichen had called her, saying it was his father’s wish to celebrate together as a family.
Qin Mu had other thoughts in mind and planned to take this opportunity to speak her mind,
but she didn’t expect to see the person she least liked as soon as she walked upstairs.
Mu Yichen was in a meeting, but did he know that Qin Haiming was also invited tonight?
Mu Zihao saw her standing at the door and called out to her, "Mumu, what are you doing standing outside?"
Qin Haiming was tinkering with the tea set. Hearing the voice, he looked up towards the door and saw his daughter dressed in breezy and stylish clothes. He straightened his back but was at a loss for words for a moment.
Huanhuan was eating desserts they had ordered earlier between her grandmother and grandfather. When she saw her mother, she couldn’t help but lick her spoon and called out, "Mommy!"
"Aren’t you coming in? You’re going to block the waiters when they bring in the dishes,"
Feng Fanghua irritably reminded her.
Given her temperament, she should have immediately turned around and left.
But the next moment, she sat down beside Feng Fanghua.
"Originally, I planned to invite Yichen’s grandfather too, but since the two of them didn’t want to go public so soon, I thought of inviting the old master over for their wedding. You can’t blame me for this!"
Mu Zihao said to Qin Haiming.
Qin Haiming nodded slightly, "What are you talking about? What right do I have to blame you, a man who can’t even be a good father? I should be thanking you for accepting my daughter. Please take good care of her in the future."
"From now on, we’re family, so let’s skip the formalities, Mumu, call Yichen and ask how much longer he’ll be,"
Mu Zihao turned his head and said to Qin Mu since the dishes were about to be served.
Qin Mu nodded and then got up with her phone in hand, leaving with a relieved expression on her face.
Her hatred was impossible to hide.
She couldn’t sit there, eating and drinking with Qin Haiming; she didn’t want his compensation. She would rather have him live in guilt and die uneasily for the rest of his life.
When she left with the phone, she didn’t call Mu Yichen. Instead, she just called a cab and left.
In the taxi with the windows down, the evening breeze was quite cool, blowing layer by layer across her face.
She suddenly came to realize that she had really fallen into the trap set by Mu Yichen.
So, it really was time to end this!
Then, wave after wave of troubles kept flooding in, leaving her overwhelmed.
She returned to the Mu Family’s home. The butler was stunned to see her back: "Madam, weren’t you at the hotel for the family banquet?"
Qin Mu didn’t respond, just hurried upstairs with increasingly large and fast strides, finally almost breaking into a run.
The butler thought deeply for a moment and then called Mu Yichen: "Young Master, Madam seems a bit off."
Mu Yichen had just arrived at the hotel, was waiting for the elevator, and immediately turned around and left after picking up the butler’s call. The elevator dinged open, and he started to run as well.
Strangely, sometimes, it seems like there is really a psychic connection.
"Keep an eye on her, don’t let her run out,"
He drove the car at top speed, rushing back all the way.
Even though it was summer, by eight in the evening, it was already dark. He sped the car back as fast as possible, and at that time, she was packing her luggage.
Their marriage brought no benefits, neither to her nor to Mu Yichen.
Qin Mu, having recognized this, packed her clothes even more quickly, and in the end, she didn’t even fold them properly, just stuffed everything into the suitcase and zipped it closed.
Mu Yichen ran upstairs and immediately saw her buckling the suitcase.
"What are you doing?"
"You can do whatever you like, but I’m leaving here!"
Qin Mu lifted the suitcase off the bed and said to him while moving towards the door without looking back.
"Who said I’m letting you leave? Have you lost your mind?"
He grabbed her by one arm, unable to understand, and looked at her, anger ready to erupt.
"Mu Yichen, have you really not noticed? Ever since we’ve been together, nothing but bad things have happened. You’ve made enemies with the Jing Family, and I’ve gotten entangled with the Qin Family in a mess of issues—leave me alone, okay?"
Mu Yichen frowned and stared at her, then suddenly laughed: "I leave you alone?"
