Chapter 2132: Chapter 614: Of Course I Only Like It Because You Bought It (Part 2)

Qin Mu rolled her eyes at him, then walked over: "Why are you still talking to me like that? Just now downstairs, I did everything you wanted!"

"It’s right to do what I want; what? You don’t want to listen to me and want to follow that Gongzhi Ping’an?"

"You..."

Not even three sentences in, and they were already starting to argue. Qin Mu angrily went around the bed to sit on her side of the bed, sulking with her back to him.

Mu Yichen knew he had been a bit harsh, so he remained silent for half a minute, then his dark eyes looked at her again: "Come here!"

A faint sound, with a hint of apology.

But Qin Mu sat there playing with her fingernails, refusing to go over, thinking why should she go over just because he called her?

Like a pet, expected to come whenever called?

Clearly, he hardly ever talked about his matters with Yang Qin, so why was she getting the brunt of it without doing anything?

He bought half the living room full of flowers for her, and she hadn’t even finished being happy about it before the Gongzhi family father and son came, immediately making it his weapon for show and tell. Just thinking about his prickly demeanor at that time gave Qin Mu a headache...

"Are you mad?"

Qin Mu remained still, so Mu Yichen naturally moved to ask her: "Did I upset you?"

Qin Mu still ignored him, her frail self hugged tightly by him, taking up a little space.

"I was wrong, I apologize, Mrs. Mu, please don’t be mad anymore, okay?"

Mu Yichen spoke softly, coaxing her.

"You realize your mistake so quickly? Then tell me what you did wrong first, okay?"

Qin Mu thought to herself, would he actually realize his mistake? Probably just sweet-talking her, who knows what he’s really thinking.

"Of course, my biggest mistake is making my darling wife upset and sad."

Mu Yichen explained patiently to her.

Qin Mu simply couldn’t bring herself to be sarcastic, she felt worse if she talked more about it, so she decided to let it go and tolerate it.

Qin Mu didn’t say anything else, and Mu Yichen assumed she wasn’t mad anymore.

"Hmm!"

Qin Mu gently pulled the cover over his shoulder: "Mu Yichen, you owe me a proper explanation."

Mu Yichen was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Hmm, I know!"

He knows?

He knows but doesn’t say anything?

Or is he waiting for the right time?

Qin Mu felt a flicker of doubt, but she didn’t mind waiting a little longer, so she just looked at him without saying anything.

"Shall we sleep?"

Mu Yichen spoke softly to her.

Qin Mu lowered her gaze, and when he moved away from her, she naturally nestled back into his embrace, the two quietly holding each other in the chilling transition from late autumn to early winter.

——

The next morning, on the way to the city center, Qin Mu listened to an old song by Sun Yanzi. Thinking about their past, she likely guessed some of the reasons behind Mu Yichen’s words from the night before.

Qin Mu went to a bookstore. Qin Mingzhu hugged her immediately and started complaining about Wang Huanyu neglecting her and their child. But considering Wang Huanyu’s position, balancing family and career perfectly is inherently challenging, and he’s probably already doing his utmost for his family.

Qin Mu had to advise her to be more understanding. After a few years, when Wang Huanyu stabilizes in his position, he should be able to balance family and work more efficiently.

After Mu Yichen went to work, Yang Qin held some documents intending to see him. The resignation letter she had written was in the drawer. She opened the drawer intending to bring it to him, but the thought of him signing it immediately made her particularly reluctant.

Leaving like this, their chances of meeting again would be slim!

Yang Qin lowered her eyes and seriously stared at the letter for a while, then gently closed the drawer again.

A knock resounded, and a voice inside said, "Come in!"

"Boss!"

Yang Qin greeted as she closed the door and walked in.

After delivering the work report and handing over the documents requiring his immediate signature, Mu Yichen opened the files, his brows slightly furrowed. Seeing him like this, Yang Qin also lowered her gaze, hands clutching the items in her arms tightly.

He still wasn’t happy. He still couldn’t let go. Did she really have no choice but to leave?

Yang Qin thought of Xi Meng; here, Xi Meng was the only person she could talk to.

In the afternoon, Yang Qin reached the rendezvous point with Xi Meng. Xi Meng gasped when she saw her because compared to when she first arrived in Rongcheng, she was even thinner now.

"Wow! I didn’t expect it to be this big already after a short while!"

Yang Qin brought her a small gift, placing it aside, surprised to see her pregnant belly.

Xi Meng gently touched her belly: "It’s still early; wait until it grows bigger, that’ll be astonishing."

"Really? It’s so magical!"

Yang Qin felt a tinge of envy, evident in her eyes.

"Ten months of pregnancy isn’t as magical as you think, but once you have a baby, you’ll understand—it’s quite a struggle!"

Xi Meng had been feeling very uncomfortable lately, so it was rare she felt okay today and took the opportunity to get out when Yang Qin called her to meet.

"Me? I don’t know if I’ll ever have that blessing in this life!"

Yang Qin smirked bitterly, lowering her gaze to hide the sorrow in her eyes.

"Don’t think that way. I used to think I’d never get married, envying and feeling depressed seeing Qin Mu with Mu’s little daughter. But then I married Qiao Yi, and all those feelings of depression turned out to be unnecessary. You should just be happy, find a man you like, get married, and have a baby. With your qualities, it’s absolutely not a difficult task."

"But having a child with someone you love seems to be the hardest thing, right?"

Yang Qin’s question left Xi Meng speechless. It was indeed true.

"There you go, saying discouraging things again. As long as you’re willing to try, finding someone you love is just a matter of time."

Xi Meng had no choice but to comfort her.

"Xi Meng, I actually don’t care much about these things. I came to you today to ask for advice, because here, you’re the only one I can open up to."

"Hmm?"

"I don’t know when it started, but I’ve really fallen for him!"
