His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2349: Chapter 675: Ten Million Miles in Pursuit of Wife (7)

In just over a year, everything can disappear without a trace.

Could it be that their feelings for each other also gradually fade away, day by day, year after year, until there’s nothing left?

During those days, Qin Mu was deeply attached, attached to his warm body, attached to his ambiguous words, attached to his endless energy.

But now, she looks at the sunlight through her fingers and can only smile.

Even she doesn’t know why she’s smiling.

Until a cup of coffee was placed on her desk, she had to withdraw her hand, casually glanced at her assistant: ”Thank you!”

”Everyone’s arranged to have lunch together at noon to welcome you back!”

The assistant’s pleasant voice entered her ears.

Qin Mu nodded: ”Alright!”

She couldn’t refuse! She couldn’t reject! She didn’t want to be alone!

So at noon, they gathered in a small restaurant, ordered a few bottles of wine, and drank merrily.

Qin Mu listened to them talk about their recent interesting stories. A colleague who knew she smoked handed her a cigarette. Qin Mu raised her eyes to look at the cigarette, then smiled, accepting it between her soft lips with slender fingers.

With a lighter held in a beautiful hand before her eyes, the flame moved her heart. She half-closed her eyes and took a deep drag on the cigarette.

Her assistant smiled, leaving the lighter with her, softly saying: ”It’s for you!”

Qin Mu glanced at him, her breath a bit slow, but she still raised her hand to take the lighter. She recognized the letters on it, and guessed the price, placing it on the table as if accepting it.

Her assistant was quite surprised. Although he had carefully prepared it for her, he was ready for it to be rejected. Yet she accepted it without a word, so naturally.

He observed her attitude of disdain for everything, caring little for anything, and had some guesses in his heart, but he wouldn’t ask much or investigate.

Qin Mu looked at those faces so different from her skin tone and suddenly missed the familiar faces in Rongcheng.

It was only the first night since returning.

——

”Qin Mu, have you considered coming back? Huanhuan hit a classmate today at school, broke his head, and threatens to quit school.”

Xi Meng called her again the next day, in a panic.

”She broke someone’s head? And wants to quit school?”

Qin Mu frowned, somewhat confused.

”Yes! And it was a boy taller than her. Mu Zong won’t let the elders at home intervene. I’m at the school handling this, and the parents are here, really angry, wanting to see you and Mu Zong, but you’re not here, and Mu Zong won’t come. I’m truly at a loss!”

Xi Meng was flustered, standing outside the teacher’s office, looking at the teachers and students inside, along with the parents, really not knowing what to do.

Qin Mu rubbed her forehead in frustration, then softly said: ”Give the phone to the student’s parent, I’ll apologize to her personally.”

Xi Meng’s eyes flickered, quickly agreeing, and walked inside: ”Alright! Mrs. Zhang, our madam wants to speak with you; she’s in Paris and can’t return at the moment but wants to apologize personally.”

The mother of the classmate whose head was hit glanced at Xi Meng, showing some resistance in her eyes, but ultimately took the phone.

”Hello? Are you Mu Chenghuan’s mother?”

”Yes!”

Qin Mu had no choice but to admit this fact.

”Ha! Your daughter broke my son’s head and you want to just say sorry over the phone?”

”I will personally visit to apologize when I return, but for now I am in Paris...”

Qin Mu spoke with her for a few minutes, after which Mrs. Zhang returned the phone to Xi Meng, telling the teacher: ”Since the child’s mother says she will personally come home to apologize when she returns, I’ll swallow this indignation for now. However, this girl can’t use her prominent family background to bully others! Please make sure she doesn’t come near my son again.”

”Yes, yes, yes! We will certainly take care of it, please rest assured.”

The teacher nodded eagerly, assuring her.

”Hmph! I really can’t feel at ease; I’ll take leave first to go to the hospital for an examination, and you’ll come with me!”

Mrs. Zhang said and turned to look at Xi Meng, who daren’t neglect, but before leaving, looked at Huanhuan.

”Aunt Xi Meng, you go with them, I won’t go!”

Huanhuan understood Xi Meng’s worried gaze, and said sensibly to Xi Meng.

Xi Meng sighed helplessly, crouched to meet her gaze, consoling: ”Don’t make such big troubles in school anymore, your mom is almost scared to death, you know?”
