His Beloved Treasure

”However, what I heard is that President Mu and Miss Qin almost divorced because of JY. Of course, which woman would dare to admit this? Who would be shameless?”

”The shameless person is right in front of me! Miss Bian, I can only tell you that everything I do is just a response to you, and why I respond to you, one day you will understand.”

Qin Mu looked at her coldly, her gaze growing sharper, like knives.

”Miss Qin is indeed extraordinary! Then Jingwen will wait and see.”

Bian Jingwen still smiled, like a lady from a noble family.

Compared to Bian Jingwen’s girlish pretense in her demeanor, Qin Mu’s expression was indeed more ruthless.

”Oh! I heard the matriarch of the Qin Family passed away. Should I congratulate Miss Qin for finally returning to being the Qin Family’s Mingzhu? Now no one should stop Miss Qin from recognizing her relationship with Qin City’s Mayor daughter.”

Bian Jingwen suddenly turned to speak as Qin Mu was about to leave.

Qin Mu stood with her back to her, gently placing her hands into her trouser pockets, her dark eyes growing colder. When she lowered her gaze, her long hair covered most of her face, but it could not hide her anger.

A few seconds later, Qin Mu turned her head again, her cold, intense eyes focused on the smiling woman.

”There’s a saying: ’One’s sins will lead to one’s downfall!’—Let us all reflect on that!”

After saying those last five words, Qin Mu suddenly smiled slightly and then calmly said: ”I need to go to the restroom, please wait here, Miss Bian!”

Qin Mu finished speaking, turned, and left, no longer bothering to deal with her.

Bian Jingwen’s smiling face gradually became awkward.

One’s sins will lead to one’s downfall?

But who is committing the sins?

Bian Jingwen laughed slightly after Qin Mu disappeared.

After a while, Bian Jingwen heard the sound of women arguing inside, with an explosive tone of cursing in English.

Bian Jingwen’s eyebrows gradually furrowed, this was her last trump card, the outcome of this competition is crucial.

Qin Mu had just washed her hands in the restroom, and before they were dried, she was suddenly embraced from behind.

Qin Mu sensed the strength and familiar aura and murmured, ”Were you waiting for me?”

”Such a woman is not your match at all, you little dark sorceress, how could she be your opponent?”

He hugged her from behind, gently swaying, his lips murmuring near her ear.

Qin Mu involuntarily smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and her originally explosive heart gradually calmed down.

”You will surely win this competition, and with her, you will surely prevail.”

”Naturally!”

Qin Mu knew he was cheering her on, but felt a bit unaccustomed to his comfort, so she lowered her head, removed his hand from her abdomen, and then turned her head, her fiery eyes gazing up at the man so much taller than her: ”Mu Yichen, I despise her! Very much!”

”Mm! I love you!”

His dark hawk-like eyes half lowered, looking at her, expressing words of affection after his promise, then pinching her chin to seal her lips with his own.

Qin Mu suddenly couldn’t breathe, but after a moment, she raised her hand and hugged his neck, kissing him.

Until Jian Yan called her, she finally remembered the real reason for being at the hotel today, although President Mu was still out of breath, she had to push him away: ”We’ll continue later, be good!”

Qin Mu forcefully pushed him away, then breathlessly held his face, seeing his aggrieved look as he lowered his eyes, she had to tiptoe and give him another firm kiss on the lips, then fled the restroom.

After she left, Mu Yichen looked at the door for a while, then lowered his head, looking at his own embarrassment, what did she just say?

Be good?

When Qin Mu returned to the private room door, she stood outside, seriously composing her mood, opened the door with a gentle smile: ”Sorry, it was my daughter’s call.”

”Does Huanhuan still ask you to put her to sleep?”

Jian Yan asked her as if he knew nothing, casually pulling a strand of hair behind her to his chest.

Jian Yan’s seemingly unintended small action made Qin Mu startled, she instinctively looked at him, Jian Yan just glanced at her lightly and then said softly: ”This time the competition will have an additional judge, you all need to showcase your skills and perform well.”

Jian Yan advised her softly with a sentence.

Qin Mu:...

Bian Jingwen also raised her eyes, subconsciously looking at AD, but AD was sitting there, straight-backed, eating a piece of ribs, chewing forcefully, eyes fixed on the plate, obviously not wanting to be disturbed.

Bian Jingwen dared not ask her, only smiled and said: ”Competitions are naturally based on skill, for judges like AD and JY, we need to work hard to design works that can catch your eye, but everyone knows JY always favors this little apprentice, surely JY wouldn’t play favoritism, right?”

Qin Mu instinctively looked at Bian Jingwen again, she found this young lady truly dared to speak.

”That’s my business!”

Jian Yan sat there with a faint response, then looked at AD.

AD swallowed the piece of rib forcefully, then smacked the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, saying distantly: ”Competitions demand fairness and impartiality, Miss Bian, are you questioning the judges’ integrity?”

Bian Jingwen suddenly felt a chill on her back, quickly smiled and explained: ”Of course not, AD and JY’s integrity have always been the best in the fashion circle.”

”Then stop the nonsense!”

AD said and then turned her head, her sharp gaze suppressed the curiosity in Bian Jingwen’s eyes.

Bian Jingwen knew she couldn’t ask anything now, so nodded her head, then elegantly took a sip, though she really wanted to drink the whole glass, afraid others would say she lacked the demeanor of a lady, thus, she only sipped a bit, then lightly placed the glass down.

Qin Mu suddenly felt much more relaxed, Jian Yan and AD should have reached a consensus.

”I’m staying at the hotel tonight!”

Jian Yan told her.

Qin Mu looked at him, suddenly having a bad premonition, her mentor wouldn’t sacrifice his dignity for their studio, would he?

”No way!”

Qin Mu immediately rejected.

Jian Yan raised his eyes to look at her...

AD also looked up, seeing Qin Mu’s angry face, then slowly leaned her back against the chair.

”You will return to the apartment, I’d rather lose miserably than let my mentor sell his body.”

Jian Yan: ”Who said I was selling my body? What kind of person do you think AD is? I just don’t want to squeeze in with those kids at the apartment.”

Qin Mu’s face flushed red, she couldn’t believe her ears.

And Bian Jingwen’s mouth twitched slightly, unable to believe her eyes looking at Qin Mu.

The awkward feeling was unprecedented.

”Sorry!”

Qin Mu knew she was rude, so she didn’t waste time, immediately apologized.

AD just glanced at her, but didn’t speak to her, in AD’s eyes, Qin Mu was still too young.

Instead, she said to the man beside her, ”Come to my room after dinner.”

Qin Mu: ”...”

Bian Jingwen: ”...”

Jian Yan: ”Alright!”

AD raised her eyes, looking at these two girls’ beautiful eyes, but she was slightly impatient, so elegantly ate her dinner and wouldn’t miss the good wine served.

After dinner, they left the private room, and Mu Yichen happened to come out from the room opposite, seeing Qin Mu standing behind, frowning, was President Mu also here for socializing?

After a few executives left first, Mu Yichen smiled and greeted AD, face to face, AD was super polite, even smiled.
