Chapter 1279: Chapter 355: Love You for Ten Thousand Years (Part 5)

"Because the relationship between this female secretary and Mu Yichen is extraordinary, this woman is the smartest. She not only convinced Qin Mu to trust her but is also likely Mu Yichen’s lover."

Lu Fei was completely dumbfounded.

"Jiaojiao, if you’re talking about that Xi Meng secretary, she’s Qiao Yi’s wife. You know who Qiao Yi is, right? He’s good friends with Mu Yichen and they work at the same corporation."

"Do you really believe those surface stories? What if I told you it’s just a ploy to deceive the wider public? So many tycoons have mistresses they refuse to acknowledge. They cover for each other with so-called good brothers. Who knows, maybe the kids Xi Secretary had are actually Mu’s children."

Lu Fei was completely shocked, feeling as if her worldview had been turned upside down. She thought to herself that, just as her grandpa said, she was too naive and the world was too complicated. So complicated that she no longer knew how to trust her own eyes.

"Lu Fei, do you know what it means to be proactive?"

Wu Jiaojiao asked her.

Lu Fei thought about it, her big eyes darting around, and then she nodded vigorously.

"Lu Fei, we have to be proactive. Who knows when Qin Mu’s crowd might bite us again?"

"But..."

"We need to work together now. We can’t let her live too comfortably."

"But my grandpa says..."

"Leave everything to me. Didn’t I also go to your house last time to intercede for you? If it weren’t for me, your dad might have slapped you, right?"

Lu Fei recalled that day and nodded, but after Wu Jiaojiao left, she was still slapped.

"Do you trust me? Lu Fei, as long as you trust me, nothing bad will happen."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright then! But let’s be careful."

Lu Fei said, although she wasn’t really keen on provoking Qin Mu.

"Of course!"

Wu Jiaojiao saw that she had convinced her, wiped her tears, and held her hand with a comforting sisterly gesture.

"Ladies, may I serve the food now?"

The waiter approached and politely asked.

"Sure!"

Wu Jiaojiao nodded, then turned to Lu Fei: "I ordered a good bottle of wine, let’s have some more of it."

"Great!"

Lu Fei, like a little girl tasting forbidden fruit, blinked happily.

After eating, Lu Fei and Wu Jiaojiao went shopping together, wandering into JY Store like nothing had happened to browse and shop.

The store employees were stunned, one even whispered to a colleague: "Quick, go tell the store manager!"

But the two of them just bought their clothes and left like ordinary customers, as if nothing had happened last time.

Even Wang Li was curious about how Lu Fei could be so shameless.

Wang Li sent a message to Qin Mu: "Miss Lu, who came in last time, just came to buy clothes and didn’t cause trouble!"

Qin Mu was holding a meeting with colleagues on the first floor of the studio and, upon reading the message, replied with a single-handed stroke: "Yeah!"

"She came with a girl about the same age, seems her last name is Wu, they each bought three sets of summer clothes."

Upon seeing this message from Wang Li, Qin Mu’s eyes subtly shifted, thinking these two girls were either very bold or had ulterior motives.

Enemies can strike when you least expect it.

In this regard, Qin Mu knew she was at a disadvantage.

But after being betrayed multiple times, she also learned to be a bit more cautious and observant.

Qin Mu instinctively sent Mu a message asking: "Mu, do you want to play politics?"

Mu Yichen was currently swamped with stacks of files unearthed by Xi Meng for him, and seeing his wife’s message, he raised an eyebrow but then looked intrigued as he raised his phone.

Dear Husband: "Sure!"

Wife: "I need help. There are two suspicious girls, can someone help me keep an eye on them, or should I go straight to Officer Yang?"

Dear Husband: "I’ll handle it!"

Wife: "Thanks a lot, Husband! You’ll be rewarded tonight. The suspicious girls are Wu Jiaojiao and Lu Fei!"

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but chuckle after reading.

Politics?

Suspicious girls?

His wife was really becoming more humorous.

Although he’d been hard at work for several hours and was quite tired and dreary, he suddenly found himself in a better mood, sitting up straight and delving into another file as he dialed a familiar number.

"I need you to tail two people!"

Mu Yichen swiftly gave orders and focused diligently on the pile of paperwork.

Meanwhile, after her meeting, Qin Mu returned to her office to design winter wear, but her inspiration was lacking. She agonized for an hour before setting her pen down and diverting her eyes to her computer screen, flipping through the pages while thoughts of those two women filled her mind.

It’s best to stay indoors when you have a bad feeling, especially avoiding long trips.

As she was troubled by Wu Jiaojiao and Lu Fei’s affairs, Xiaomei cheerfully brought her coffee.

"Dear, can I leave work a little early today?"

Xiaomei smiled slyly as she approached her.

"Got any plans?"

Qin Mu curiously asked her, seeing her bright face and feeling like teasing her.

"Yeah! I want to see a movie, but it’s only showing at 4:30, and today is the only screening."

Xiaomei stepped forward, placing the coffee down and looking pitiful before her.

Qin Mu’s eyes shifted slightly, then she nodded: "Go ahead!"

Though Qin Mu’s voice wasn’t loud, Xiaomei straightened up like a delighted child: "Qinqin, you know? You’re the most humane boss I’ve ever met."

Qin Mu...

"Zhao Huai always says I’m lucky, never meticulous but always getting spoiled by you. I think so too!"

Xiaomei joyfully flattered.

"Hmph! Who used to call me a tyrant?"

Qin Mu grumbled, recalling Xiaomei’s past complaints, which were really... memories best left alone.

"I was young and naive!"

Xiaomei quickly said.

Qin Mu’s lips twitched: "You better hurry, pack up and go watch a movie with your godbrother."

"What godbrother?"

Xiaomei blushed awkwardly.

"Zhao Huai! Aren’t you both god siblings? What, now that you’re dating, you’re going to drop the old titles?"

Xiaomei...

"Still not leaving? It’s already past 3:30! Freshen up a bit, and you should be ready."

Qin Mu glanced at her watch and said to Xiaomei, who had already dashed off by the time she looked up again.

Truly, a charming guy trumps friendship!

——

At 5:30, just before leaving work, she received a WeChat from Mu Yichen: "Come to my office!"

Wife: "?"

Dear Husband: "Overtime needed! Politics at its best!"

Wife: "Wait for me, I’m coming right over!"

Qin Mu packed her stuff, went downstairs, bid farewell to the colleagues still working late, and drove straight to Mu’s office building.
