His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1738: Chapter 486: Unfathomable Smiles 3

Xiaomei playfully stuck out her tongue, knowing she shouldn’t curse Jian Yan like that.

Qin Mu chuckled: ”He’s so outstanding, how could he possibly be alone forever?”

”Yeah! That’s true! He’s so excellent, he’ll definitely be snatched away by other girls!”

Xiaomei nodded and then suddenly sighed.

”Why are you sighing?”

Qin Mu asked her.

”Honestly, when I first saw you with Jian Yan, I thought you two would make a pair. Later, when I found out you were with President Mu, I thought maybe I’d see the clouds part and the moonlight shine through, but in the end, he was snatched away by a girl who showed up so late. Ah! How could I not sigh?”

Xiaomei complained quietly, walking out from behind her desk, still hugging files like a girl with a secret.

Qin Mu also once thought Xiaomei would end up with Jian Yan and believed Jian Yan would be moved by Xiaomei, but didn’t expect Jian Yan to be so clear-headed.

Or maybe, their fate wasn’t meant to be enough for them! Or maybe Jian Yan’s fate was destined to be with Xiao Wei.

Jian Yan and Xiao Wei, after some difficulties, will surely find harmony together.

”Let’s not talk about this, give me the documents!”

Qin Mu whispered, pulling out a chair to sit down.

Only then did Xiaomei remember her task, turned around, and handed the folder in her arms to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu took the folder and opened it, then looked up at her.

Xiaomei looked a bit dazed: ”What’s wrong?”

”Did you forget something?”

Qin Mu asked her softly.

Xiaomei thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: ”Coffee! I’ll go grind it for you now!”

Qin Mu smiled and bowed her head to work.

Xiaomei ran off to grind fresh coffee for her.

At noon, everyone ate lunch together at a nearby restaurant since it was the first time this year, so the boss specially prepared delicious dishes and offered a few bottles of good wine, all at half price.

Everyone was mingling with the boss, feeling warm and familial in this bustling little restaurant.

Qin Mu, after eating a bit, headed back to the office, initially intending to draw. However, feeling a bit overwhelmed by her clothes due to the excessive wine in the restaurant, she went to the lounge to change.

Upon opening the closet, after rummaging through it twice, she saw that familiar box.

This gift, she astonishingly hadn’t managed to give away.

Qin Mu took out a clean shirt and skirt, placed them on the bed, closed the closet, and changed clothes.

She found it odd that although President Mu had visited many times and had even gone through the closet, he hadn’t noticed this garment.

Is it destined that this garment cannot be given away?

Or perhaps, this set of suits somehow conceals itself, disappearing from their space at certain times?

After changing clothes, Qin Mu adjusted her waistline, feeling neat, then turned around and went out, smoothing her long hair as she returned to the office.

On the first day back at work, she didn’t plan to take a nap; instead, she wanted to throw herself wholly into her work.

As for those just returned, they could enjoy themselves today, because after playing today, they’d have to buckle down seriously tomorrow.

As expected, everyone drank a bit too much in the afternoon, unable to concentrate on work, so they all gave themselves a break and returned to their apartments to rest.

Xiaomei intended to have a baby, so she didn’t drink much, staying in the studio to work alongside Qin Mu.

While helping Xiaoyan at the service counter, she heard a car park outside their studio, so Xiaomei glanced outside.

A black sedan stood there; the driver got out from the front and immediately ran to the back, opening the car door to reveal a woman in high heels, a dark qipao, a vintage round hat, clutching a distinctively styled small purse, stepping out.

Even before seeing her face clearly, Xiaomei already sensed the powerful aura emanating from this woman.

”Hello! I’m Chen Xiaomei, is there anything I can help you with?”

The woman entered the studio with a bodyguard, turned around, and finally glanced at Xiaomei for a bit, her demeanor seemingly well-trained, a bit formal yet embodying grandeur.

”Why is no one working?”

The woman’s composed voice inquired.

”Oh, everyone took this afternoon off; work officially starts tomorrow. Anything you need, you can tell me!”

Xiaomei remained earnest, having experienced big occasions before and not losing her composure over a dignified woman.

”So Qin Mu must not be around?”

Looking towards the stairs, the woman asked steadily.

Upon hearing the woman suddenly mention Qin Mu, sounding rather familiar, Xiaomei’s big dark eyes darted, discreetly murmuring in reply: ”Miss Qin is here, may I ask your name?”

”No need for formality, my surname is Liu!”

Upon hearing Qin Mu was present, the woman, looking towards the stairway, lowered her eyes, addressing Xiaomei.

”Please have a seat over there; I’ll call her down for you!”

Xiaomei kindly gestured with hospitality.

The woman nodded and automatically went to the sofa in the reception area.

Xiaomei headed upstairs, closing Qin Mu’s office door, and approached Qin Mu, softly whispering the scene downstairs in her ear.

”Surname Liu? What’s her full name?”

Qin Mu, somewhat puzzled, wondered, her brows showing slight skepticism.

”Uh! I forgot to ask!”

Xiaomei suddenly felt as if her brain short-circuited; she had focused only on manners and had only asked for the surname.

However, Xiaomei mentioned her surname was Liu and noted her graceful conduct, which made Qin Mu think of someone.

”Although this person has a bodyguard, she doesn’t appear very threatening. I see Brother Hang outside too, do you want me to call him in?”

Xiaomei described the situation to Qin Mu, seeking her opinion.

”It’s not a fight, no need!”

Qin Mu whispered, then stood up: ”Let’s go!”

Seeing Qin Mu’s steady demeanor, Xiaomei sensed Qin Mu might know something and thus didn’t ask further, following her down the stairs.

On the stairs, Qin Mu saw the reception downstairs, where the woman was on the phone, her silhouette alone revealing her extraordinary nature.

After approaching and standing aside, Qin Mu waited for Ms. Liu to finish her call, refraining from sitting or disturbing her.

The woman didn’t glance up until three minutes later, finishing her call and asking: ”You are Qin Mu?”

”Indeed!”

Qin Mu responded seriously, turning to Xiaomei: ”Bring two cups of tea!”

”Sure!”

Xiaomei nodded and went to make tea. Qin Mu sat opposite Ms. Liu.

”I’ve come from Beijing, actually, I have some connections with the Wang Family!”

Ms. Liu said.

Qin Mu slightly raised her eyes, observing the confidence on the woman’s face and merely smiled subtly.

The Wang Family Ms. Liu mentioned should be Wang Huanyu’s family.

Qin Mu observed she was around thirty, glanced at her finger adorned with a jade ring, guessing Ms. Liu was married, likely into a wealthy family, with a presumably large clan.

”I wonder what brings Ms. Liu to Rongcheng, and here specifically, what might be the reason?”

Qin Mu pondered before getting to the main point.
