Mu Qingxin looked around and then earnestly briefed her.
"Don’t you know my writing? I’ll send it to you first to check before publishing; that should put your mind at ease, right?"
Yuanyuan opened her heart to Mu Qingxin.
"Don’t trouble yourself! But I really didn’t expect you to still be in this field."
Mu Qingxin looked at the girl across from her, full of vigor, still striving for her career, and let out a sigh.
"I’m not as fortunate as you are. Since we studied this, of course we have to achieve something. I heard you got married, and to a young talent on par with your family, no less! You’re the truly impressive one!"
"Oh, please! There’s nothing impressive about it; it’s just because I liked him!"
Mu Qingxin felt a bit shy when others mentioned her affairs.
By the time the two said their goodbyes, it was already noon. Knowing she would be back, Qin Mu waited to have lunch with her. When Mu Qingxin returned, she happily went behind her and put her arms around her shoulders, "You’ve been waiting so obediently at home for me, huh?"
Qin Mu laughed at such an affectionate greeting: "Of course! I didn’t dare to go to the restaurant without you, Second Miss."
"Well, now you can! Come on! Accompany this young lady for a grand meal!"
Mu Qingxin cheerfully hooked her arm and went off to eat, ready to take on the world.
Qin Mu didn’t know how she managed to stay so cheerful. Wasn’t she having a fight with her husband? Shouldn’t she be distressed?
Well! One can’t wallow in misery forever!
Qin Mu thought she must be feeling pretty down inside, just not showing it.
"What were you up to so early this morning? It’s so late for you to be just getting back!"
"Met an old classmate I hadn’t seen for ages, went for a tea!"
Mu Qingxin said nonchalantly.
Qin Mu nodded and didn’t ask further. She had been hungry for quite a while, and would have eaten already had she not been waiting for Mu Qingxin.
In the afternoon, Mu Qingxin went off for a nap, and Qin Mu spent the afternoon sketching out Li Yu’s dress design.
Before she off work, she drove the design to the studio, and told her colleagues that they would work on the dress together. As she was heading home, she received a call from Mu Yichen: "We’ll dine out tonight!"
"Qingxin is at home!"
"Just let her stay home. Should I come to pick you up, or will you come over on your own? I’m with Jing Feng and Helian Hao at AM."
"Then I’ll come over by myself!"
What else was there to say? Everyone would be there.
Qin Mu drove to AM. When she arrived, Mu Yichen was already standing at the hotel entrance waiting for her.
A warmth spontaneously filled her heart.
They had been together for such a long time, yet he still waited for her .
Qin Mu parked her car, and Mu Yichen came over to open the door for her, "Drive slower next time!"
Qin Mu smiled and wrapped her arm around his as they walked inside, "Why did you think to have dinner together today?"
"We haven’t gathered in a while! Also, Jing Feng and Helian Hao’s wedding has been moved up, so there are some details to discuss."
Mu Yichen, with his hands in his pockets, let her cling to his arm as they walked, patiently explaining to her.
"I really never thought our Xiaohao would suddenly be getting married!"
Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh and talk happily, sincerely happy for Helian Hao.
"I’m having regrets! Why did I insist on waiting for Christmas? It would have been better to move the wedding earlier to avoid any regrets."
"Who’s having regrets?"
Qin Mu turned her head to look at him, thinking she had misheard.
"I’m having regrets!"
Mu Yichen glanced at her as he said it.
"You’re having regrets? I’m the one who should be having regrets, don’t you think?"
Qin Mu patted her stomach to remind him.
Mu Yichen finally couldn’t help curling his lips into a smile: "Yeah! You could have regrets too! But it’s no use."
As they reached the elevator, Mu Yichen took his hand out of his pocket to wrap her back protectively as they stepped inside.
Qin Mu still couldn’t help but openly gaze at him: "Honestly, Mu Yichen, you really want to have the wedding soon, don’t you?"
He hadn’t really thought about it before, but after Jing Feng suddenly mentioned getting married, he indeed started to feel some regret.
"Actually, I think a Christmas wedding is quite nice, and besides, we’ve already registered, haven’t we?"
Qin Mu reassured him.
"Hmm! That makes sense!"
Mu Yichen’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at the mirror on the opposite wall, his expression deep and meaningful.
Qin Mu thought he had truly come to terms with it.
Once they arrived at the private room’s entrance, Mu Yichen’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Secretary Xi, Qin Mu said, "I’ll go in first!"
The door opened from the outside, the atmosphere bustling inside, making it impossible to discern who was talking.
Helian Hao was already bothered by the noise, but perked up when he saw Qin Mu: "Mumu, over here!"
