"These design drawings are exactly like yours, and the thief is a girl named Yang Qianxi, who, according to the information, has just returned from studying abroad. Do you intend to pursue her legal responsibility immediately?"
What Han Teacher meant in Qin Mu’s mobile phone was to immediately pursue legal responsibility, but Qin Mu actually had other plans.
Later, Qin Mu was sitting in the chair next to her when Jian Yan curiously asked, "Was it Qin Mingzhu who stole your designs?"
"Mm! She thought I didn’t know, let alone that I have surveillance cameras installed in my office."
Qin Mu nodded and wasn’t really interested in the plagiarism matter, as she hadn’t yet moved past Jian Yan’s issue.
"Perhaps this girl was used by someone else? With her intelligence, she probably couldn’t have thought of this."
Jian Yan remembered the time he met Qin Mingzhu; she seemed clever, but in actuality, she was probably the type that was frequently made a scapegoat by others.
Qin Mu looked up at Jian Yan, unconsciously sighing at his concern for other matters, "You’re in this state, don’t worry about these trivial things. Once you’re a bit healthier, you should rush back to Paris, that’s the priority."
What does it feel like to be scolded by your apprentice?
"I originally planned to go back to Paris after your show at the end of the year."
Jian Yan seriously shared his initial plan with her.
"Then why didn’t you hold out until the end of the year?"
Now that she saw him getting better, she could get fierce and didn’t want to let go of the fact that he had concealed his illness from her, thinking back on how he insisted that he just had a fever, probably the illness was getting worse by that time.
Jian Yan was so blocked by her questioning that he couldn’t say anything and sighed helplessly, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"You have one week to get better and then immediately go back to Paris for me. Also, I will send Xiaomei over to take care of you."
Qin Mu’s voice was less sharp at the end as she looked up to observe Jian Yan’s expression, to which Jian Yan helplessly smiled faintly, "Okay!"
At that moment, as long as she was at ease, he felt like he could do anything.
Helian Hao knew Mu Yichen was away on a business trip, so he called Qin Mu to ask if she wanted to have dinner that night, but instead learned she was keeping a bedside vigil upstairs. When Helian Hao arrived and saw the teacher and apprentice together, he unconsciously frowned but was already smiling by the time he knocked.
"Hearing that Brother Jian is recuperating at our hospital is truly an honor for us."
Helian Hao had already heard about Jian Yan’s condition, but there wasn’t much he could say, so he just joked harmlessly.
Since Jian Yan wasn’t familiar with her, he responded with only a polite smile.
"Brother Jian, you rest first, I need to talk to Mumu for a moment outside."
Once Jian Yan agreed, Helian Hao pulled Qin Mu with him and headed outside. Qin Mu, noticing something strange in her expression, didn’t ask and just followed him out.
The door was closed from outside, and Helian Hao, after ensuring Jian Yan wasn’t paying attention to them through the window and was preoccupied with his phone, said to Qin Mu, "You can’t stay here with him tonight, no matter what."
Qin Mu asked, puzzled.
"You tell me why? You are now Mrs. Mu, what would people say if you’re here attending to another man? It would tarnish your reputation."
Helian Hao solemnly reminded her.
Qin Mu wanted to refute, but the thought of Mu Yichen made her unconsciously sigh and she subconsciously looked inside: what about Jian Yan? He doesn’t have any family here.
"The hospital has plenty of professional medical staff; they know much more than you do. What are you worried about?"
Helian Hao’s voice was soft, but Qin Mu felt somewhat uneasy.
Jian Yan already had no other family, and as the only person close to him now, she knew his feelings would be hurt if she just left.
Qin Mu murmured with her head down, something flickering in her eyes. She wasn’t without concerns, especially after what Helian Hao said to her. The memory of Feng Fanghua and the Jing Family came to her mind. If she stayed with Jian Yan until dawn tonight, whether it was the Jing Family or Feng Fanghua, none would spare her.
He had given her so much, and was she really unable to even muster the courage to receive it?
"But you are married now. Don’t others know, don’t your in-laws know, doesn’t the Jing Family know? I’ve heard that Jing Qing is still having people follow you. If you stay here tonight, I guarantee that by tomorrow morning, rumors will start to spread."
Helian Hao continued to whisper to her, then pulled her closer to his ear, "Besides, even if Mu Yichen is broad-minded enough to hire a caregiver for your master, he wouldn’t let you keep vigil day and night . If Jing Qing was in trouble and Mu Yichen stayed with her in the same way, just think about how you would feel, and you’ll understand his point of view."
