"Don’t you want Huanhuan to go to kindergarten and make new friends? She’s already over three years old!"
"I currently have no plans for her to attend kindergarten, not to mention we’re strangers in a foreign land here."
Qin Mu’s response was indifferent.
Xiaomei was shocked to hear the phrase "strangers in a foreign land" but then thought there might be some truth to it.
Indeed, they were strangers in a foreign land.
While the two of them were chatting, someone suddenly knocked on the office door. Xiaomei curiously glanced at the door and then went to open it, expecting it to be a colleague. However...
"Wang Mingyu, I’m looking for Qin Mu!"
He politely stated his name.
When Qin Mu heard that voice and name, her hand trembled while drawing, her sharp apricot eyes lifted for a moment, but soon lowered again. She just folded the paper she was working on, crumpled it, and threw it into the trash can.
Xiaomei didn’t know what this handsome man wanted, she simply instinctively turned her head to look at Qin Mu.
But the expression Xiaomei saw on Qin Mu’s face did not seem to welcome the handsome man.
"I’m not available for visitors right now!"
Qin Mu coldly declined, but before Xiaomei had a chance to convey the message, she was pushed aside. Wang Mingyu walked in on his own, and with equal seriousness, told her that she must see him.
Qin Mu was unwilling to lift her eyes to look at him, "It seems I have no business dealings with Young Master Wang."
"But we have private dealings!"
"I’m at work right now, please wait for any private matter until after work."
Qin Mu lowered her head and took a new sheet of paper to draw on.
Xiaomei stood by the door, unsure whether to stay or leave.
"Could this lady please leave us for a moment?"
Wang Mingyu turned his head and spoke to Xiaomei at the door.
Xiaomei nodded, took another look at Qin Mu, and then quietly stepped out, feeling like they needed some private space.
Although Qin Mu didn’t stop Xiaomei from leaving.
As soon as Xiaomei left, she couldn’t help but eavesdrop at the door.
Qin Mu raised her eyes to look at Wang Mingyu, "If you’ve come because of what happened that morning, I think there’s really no need for this visit."
"But you and Mu Yichen separated because of what happened that morning."
"The separation is a private matter between me and Mu Yichen, not because of you."
"I don’t believe it!"
He laughed, saying as he held his waist with both hands, "I went to find Mu Yichen, I wanted him to tell me where you were, Qin Mu—"
"If Young Master Wang really knew how much trouble he has caused others, he wouldn’t reappear at a time in their sight, right?"
Qin Mu suddenly put down the pen in her hand, her hands involuntarily went through her long hair holding her head, her voice very low.
"But what exactly happened that night? Why did you..."
Wang Mingyu couldn’t resist asking her out of curiosity.
"Why did I? I was just going to find my man, how was I to know I’d be knocked out with a club the moment I got there, how was I to know that when I opened my eyes again I’d be lying in bed with an unfamiliar man, Young Master Wang, do you understand what I’m saying now?"
Qin Mu looked at him again, since it had come to this, she wasn’t afraid to speak out.
Wang Mingyu frowned, "I saw Yang Qianxi with Mu Yichen, and later Mu Yichen probably went after you, Yang Qianxi told me that she saw me enter your room, and then..."
As Qin Mu heard Yang Qianxi’s name, she questioned him with a look, "Who did you say told you?"
Qin Mu’s gaze unintentionally drifted elsewhere; suddenly, she felt like the incident also had something to do with Yang Qianxi.
Was Yang Qianxi really just a simple victim, or was the incident masterminded by Jing Qing, or was there another conspiracy?
"You should know her, she seems to be another case of drunken promiscuity!——"
"There seem to be far too many instances of drunken promiscuity amongst you!"
Qin Mu could not stand those messy excuses, but after she cut Wang Mingyu off, she raised her eyes again to look at him, "Why were you at that guesthouse that night?"
"My brother asked me to have drinks!"
In Qin Mu’s mind, a time bomb seemed to finally explode with a loud bang.
Yang Qianxi and Jing Qing, Wang Huanyu and...
No wonder Qin Mingzhu trembled with excitement when she saw her yesterday. It turns out it wasn’t simply because Qin Mingzhu was worried about losing her position—it was also because...
More than a month had passed!
Qin Mu felt like an idiot for only now piecing together the series of events; it was clearly a coordinated act by those people.
