His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2100: Chapter 597: Training the Wife

”Did he force you to get a spot on the second floor?”

Mu Yichen asked her, although he didn’t know which spot the old man from the Jing Family preferred, he knew that the second floor of Jixiang Restaurant had the best seats for watching the theater. The old man from the Jing Family, being a meticulous person, naturally wanted the best place to watch.

”Yes!”

Qin Mu nodded repeatedly, feigning grievance.

She thought to herself, there’s hope! Excited! Excited!

”The seats at Jixiang Restaurant are all reserved in advance, so how did you help him change spots on that day?”

Mu Yichen’s eyes were clear, and he asked Qin Mu in a deep voice.

”It’s quite a coincidence, the spot Grandpa Jing wanted, it just happened that one of your friends was there.”

Qin Mu’s long eyelashes fluttered involuntarily, holding her breath tightly and closing her lips, waiting for him to ask again.

Mu Yichen’s gaze was no longer as gentle as before, and he glanced at Qin Mu unhappily, asking casually, ”Which friend?”

Because they had been together for over twenty years, he knew what her look meant, so he lowered his gaze and waited for her to explain herself.

”Gongzhi Ping’an!”

Qin Mu mentioned those four words, just those four words, and immediately shut her mouth.

When Mu Yichen heard the name Gongzhi Ping’an, his dark eyes swiftly darted towards the woman in front of him.

”Say it again!”

Mu Yichen’s low questioning sounded like an order, leaving Qin Mu involuntarily breathless, holding herself carefully as she observed his demeanor.

”Gongzhi Ping’an? You contacted him?”

”Yes!”

Qin Mu nodded, even though Mu Yichen was staring at her with extreme displeasure, the look of disdain in his eyes made Qin Mu aware of his anger, but she had no choice but to tell him the truth.

Mu Yichen suddenly stopped talking, lost his appetite, put down his chopsticks, leaned back, and crossed his arms, casting a very displeased gaze at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu unknowingly swallowed hard, also scared to put down the spoon in her hand, folding her arms neatly on the table edge, sitting upright like a model student and explained: ”I was in a bind at the time, you know Grandpa Jing always had opinions about me, if I didn’t help him get that spot, he would definitely be upset again.”

”Why do you care if he’s upset or not?”

Mu Yichen asked her with a frown.

Qin Mu felt too aggrieved to speak, thinking, of course, she didn’t want to care, but considering Mu Yichen and Jing Feng were brothers, and she and Xiaohao were sisters, it was like one big happy family. If she let the old man get upset, Jing Feng might wonder about her intentions, and then what would the Mu Family’s old man think of her? Everyone would surely believe she wasn’t trying hard enough, what if the Mu Family’s young mistress couldn’t secure a spot at Jixiang Restaurant?

”Gongzhi Ping’an just gave you the spot that easily?”

Mu Yichen asked again in a lowered tone, his temper clearly displayed on his face, just for his wife to see.

Qin Mu silently nodded, feeling a bit hesitant to say more.

”Hmm! He just went along with it!”

Mu Yichen thought, ever since Gongzhi Ping’an was transferred back, their meetings were few and far between. Even though their childhood connection wouldn’t result in a struggle for a seat, he still didn’t appreciate Gongzhi Ping’an’s concession, his displeasure showing as he stared at Qin Mu once again.

Qin Mu was too frightened to eat, cautiously glancing at him.

”Did he say anything else to you?”

Mu Yichen asked again, thinking about Gongzhi Ping’an’s temperament, if he gave up a spot, would he say nothing at all? Not to mention the presence of the Jing Family and Mu Family’s old men, with Qin Mu there, that guy definitely wouldn’t remain silent.

”Actually, nothing much, just one day he came to my shop and asked me to help choose a few suits, his colleagues were also there.”

Qin Mu’s voice was extremely quiet, choosing every word carefully, fearing that any word or breath might upset President Mu.

”Is that the condition he gave for helping you?”

Mu Yichen’s gaze grew increasingly displeased, really wishing he could tear the foolish woman in front of him to pieces.

Qin Mu didn’t speak, silently admitting it.

The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became a bit strange, Mu Yichen just coldly stared at her, an indescribable disappointment.

”Has he contacted you again since then?”

After a long while, Mu Yichen asked her another question.

Qin Mu instinctively looked at his eyes again, then timidly lowered her head, shaking it forcefully.

Mu Yichen looked at her without expression, Qin Mu let out a sigh in her heart, then nodded forcefully again: ”Just once, just now!”

”Hmm! I knew it!”

Mu Yichen acted like he had calculated everything, casting an extremely disdainful gaze at Qin Mu: ”It’s simply stupid, why didn’t you find me back then?”
