If she had encountered something like this in the past, Mu Yu would definitely call Xin Yihan for help immediately, but now…
Yihan was so clever. She mustn’t let him see through anything.
Sigh…
Thinking of Qin Jinhuan taking revenge on her behalf at Clothing World, she had felt her previous performance must have been really bad. Even Wenwen knew how to use Qin Jinhuan as a shield. Her aura was so weak that nobody even believed that she was Qin Jinhuan’s lawfully wedded wife.
Although behind closed doors, Qin Jinhuan would find various excuses to take advantage of me, he had always played the role of being a good husband really well in public. When it was time to fight for myself, why couldn’t I grab that opportunity nicely? What if Yi Yunzhe had seen through it? How am I going to explain to Qin Jinhuan?
Thinking of this, Mu Yu’s depression turned into nervousness. Beside her, Jiang Wenwen was praising Qin Jinhuan non-stop, making Mu Yu smile bitterly.
“Mrs. Qin, what do you think of it?”
The worker’s sweet voice pulled Mu Yu’s thoughts back to reality. Before Mu Yu could say something, Jiang Wenwen praised in an astonished tone, “Wow, Yu, I didn’t know your figure is so good! Fine feathers make fine birds! Hey, you will look even better with more makeup on.”
After doing her face at OnlyOne, they had applied some lip gloss according to Mu Yu’s request. Other than that, she didn’t have any other makeup. She had never put on makeup before and wasn’t used to applying too much stuff on her face.
The worker smiled and praised, “Mrs. Qin looks better without makeup. She is the definition of natural beauty.”
Jiang Wenwen raised the thumb up. “You really know how to talk. Even the dress suits me very well. Mr. Qin will surely praise you when you go out.”
The worker smiled. “I’m not the one who picked the dress. It’s Mr. Qin who knows Mrs. Qin too well.”
“Oh? This dress was picked by Young Master Qin?” Jiang Wenwen’s eyes widened and were filled with envy.
“We picked the dress according to Mr. Qin’s request. Not only the color and the style suit Mrs. Qin, even the size fits her very well.”
Hearing the traces of ambiguity in the worker’s words, Mu Yu suddenly remembered the fighting scene with him last night. She couldn’t help but blush as she felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Jiang Wenwen nudged Mu Yu with her shoulder and winked an eye. Then, she faked a cough and said, “The size measured by Young Master Qin is definitely accurate.”
“No, actually that…”
“Stop explaining, go out and let Young Master Qin take a look.” Jiang Wenwen grabbed her and pushed her out.
Outside the changing room, Qin Jinhuan was making a phone call. At the corner of his eyes, he saw Mu Yu coming out and glanced casually, but he could no longer move his sight away from her.
When he was avenging her in the Clothing World, he hadn’t looked closely at her.
He didn’t know that his silly woman would look so beautiful in a dress.
“Does-Does it look ugly?” Mu Yu was very unconfident as she rarely wore dresses. At this time, she was uncomfortable by his gaze and muttered timidly, “I can change it back.”
“Don’t.” Qin Jinhuan hung up on his phone and then pulled her. “You look very nice, that’s it.”
“I told you it looks good, didn’t I? Young Master Qin had personally picked the dress. How would he be wrong?” Jiang Wenwen had also changed into her dress and jumped out happily.
Qin Jinhuan nodded slightly toward Jiang Wenwen and then held Mu Yu’s hand naturally, asking softly, “Can we leave now?”
Mu Yu wanted to withdraw her hand, but she felt her hand was being tightly held. When she saw Jiang Wenwen was looking at herself and smiling, she was a little embarrassed, but she didn’t explain anything and followed Qin Jinhuan’s steps with a flushed face.
At six thirty in the evening, all of them arrived on the third floor of the Gloria Hotel in time.
After they entered, Mu Yu realized it wasn’t a small banquet hall. In the middle of the banquet hall, there was a big birthday cake. Many drinks and various desserts were placed against the wall on one side. At this time, a lot of guests had arrived in the banquet hall and were gathered talking together in small groups.
“My dear sister-in-law, you are finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long! Wow, you look very pretty today! Even a fairy is not half as pretty as you! Come, give me a hug!” Wen Zeyu opened his arms wide at Mu Yu, ready to jump on her.
Before he could even approach her, Qin Jinhuan already pushed him away rudely.
“Bro, it’s my birthday today, can’t I hug Mu Yu for awhile? You’re so petty. I hate you.” Wen Zeyu pouted his mouth and was twisting his body coyly all over Qin Jinhuan.
Jiang Wenwen glared at Wen Zeyu as if she was looking at something strange while she whispered into Mu Yu’s ears, “Isn’t this sissy the respectable Vice CEO of the Qing Tian Group you told me about?”
Mu Yu laughed and said, “He’s just playing around.”
“Really?”
While Jiang Wenwen was still doubting, Wen Zeyu returned to his normal self. He clapped his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. “My Bro and his wife had arrived. Now I announce, today’s birthday party will start in advance. Music!”
The music started along with waves of shouts and cheers.
After the birthday ceremony, everyone was dancing together on the dance floor. Mu Yu was pulled aside by Qin Jinhuan.
Having a bad feeling about this, she tried to fight him off by excusing herself for being hungry. She lowered her head and took some food to eat.
“Why didn’t you call me?” Qin Jinhuan’s voice rang in her ears, it sounded like he was blaming her.
Knowing what he was referring to, Mu Yu lowered her tone and explained, “My phone was in my bag and my bag was left in the car.”
“Doesn’t Jiang Wenwen have a phone?”
“I don’t remember your number.”
“You! Very well, go back and write my number down for a thousand times when you return tonight.”
Since there were people looking at them the whole time, Qin Jinhuan had a gentle smile on his face when he was with Mu Yu. However, that didn’t mean that he wasn’t angry, just like when he was in the Clothing World before.
“I’ll go back and memorize your phone number. Can I not write it down?”
“Fine.”
Before Mu Yu could have the smile back on her face, Qin Jinhuan added another sentence. “Let your parents write them then.”
“Fine, I’ll copy it down. Isn’t it just a thousand times?” Mu Yu pouted her lips with a gloomy face.
“Come, take a bit of the cake.” Qin Jinhuan smiled and fed her the cake.
She could see the threat in his eyes. Mu Yu gritted her teeth and tried to work together with him for putting on a show.
After seeing her finish eating the cake, Qin Jinhuan put down the plate and told her softly, “Sit down first. I’ll come over and accompany you after exchanging a few words with Zeyu.”
When he finished talking, he caressed her cheek and smiled slightly before leaving. Mu Yu was relieved. After all, she wasn’t a professional actor and acting was very tiring to her.
There were people muttering by the side. “I didn’t expect her to be the Young Master Qin’s wife. Moreover, Young Master Qin has such a gentle side.”
“Yes. He almost spoils his wife rotten, which is so enviable.”
“Hey, do you think Miss Dong has fainted from crying so much in the toilet?”
“That must be it. After waiting for so many years, she suddenly had someone take her man. It would be strange if she didn’t cry herself to unconsciousness.”
When the mutterings stopped, Mu Yu subconsciously raised her head and saw Huang Bo walking toward her.
“Mistress, there are too many people here, and too many people means gossip. Don’t take it to heart if you’ve heard anything.”
“I understand.” Mu Yu couldn’t help but smile.
Without considering the fact that she and Qin Jinhuan were a fake couple, even if they were an actual couple, she still wouldn’t take those busybodies into account. But to tell the truth, she enjoyed the feeling of being spoilt by him in public more and more, although she knew everything was just an act.
Mu Yu, stop deluding yourself. She quickly reminded herself. Suddenly thinking about the look Qin Jinhuan gave Huang Bo when they were at the Clothing World, she put all her thoughts aside and changed the topic. “Now that the owner of the Clothing World had already learnt her lesson, would Huan still refuse to let them go?”
“Don’t worry, Mistress. The boss has his own arrangements.”
“I believe they will learn from their mistake. We have to spare others when we can.” As Huang Bo nodded, she then asked again, “Right, didn’t Jinhuan say he had something to do prior, so you will come over to fetch me at six thirty? Why have you come before six o’clock?”
“It’s actually like this. When I fetched the boss, he indeed had errands to run. However, the boss found your bag in the car with your phone and card in it. He immediately asked me to rush to Heavenly Shopping Center. Luckily, we made it on time, or else we would have let Yi Yunzhe take the limelight.” Probably realizing his last sentence was inappropriate, Huang Bo made a sound like he just ate dried chilies, and immediately kept his mouth shut.
Mu Yu smiled and didn’t say anything.
To be honest, her impression toward Yi Yunzhe had always been good. Although, until now she still didn’t understand why Yi Yunzhe had introduced himself as ‘Yunzhe’ during the first time they met and not ‘Yi Yunzhe’. But she felt that this wasn’t important.
If it wasn’t because the Qin family and the Yi family were company rivals, plus her current status now being Qin Jinhuan’s wife, she could have been friends with Yi Yunzhe. Of course, the most important reason was that Yi Yunzhe was the best friend of her most trusted Yihan.
“Yu, why are you sitting in the corner? Come and dance with us.” Jiang Wenwen, who was sweating all over, ran over and hugged her with a look filled with excitement.
“I’m a little tired. I want to rest.” Mu Yu wanted to say that she didn’t like the crowd, but she didn’t want to spoil Jiang Wenwen’s fun.
“Alright, I’ll accompany you to rest.” Jiang Wenwen also sat down, reached out her hand to grab a slice of cake. However, she immediately withdrew her hand and sat down politely.
Mu Yu turned her head suspiciously and saw Wen Zeyu walking over. When she finally understood Jiang Wenwen’s actions, she couldn’t help but laughed under her breath.
“Hi, my most beautiful, cute and generous sister-in-law, are you enjoying yourself tonight?” When he saw Qin Jinhuan wasn’t there, Wen Zeyu blushed and sat close to Mu Yu.
“Yes, I am.” It wasn’t the first time Mu Yu interacted with him. Knowing his attitude, she didn’t mind and asked with a smile, “By the way, why didn’t Chief Rong come?”
“He had gone to accompany his lady friend Bing. He’s the typical kind of a guy who values love over friendship. Stop talking about him, let’s have a toast.”
“Okay.” Mu Yu introduced Jiang Wenwen and said, “Wenwen, let’s drink a toast to the birthday man!”
“Sure.” Jiang Wenwen quickly raised her glass.
“Hold on, hold on, what do you mean by birthday man? It’s like calling me an old uncle. Mu Yu, I prefer you calling me Zeyu.”
Mu Yu smiled and said, “Sure, Wenwen, let’s give Zeyu a toast.”
After she finished talking, the three of them clinked their glasses.
When Jiang Wenwen downed all the wine in her glass, Mu Yu was afraid that she drank too much and quickly urged, “Drink slowly.”
However, Jiang Wenwen didn’t take it seriously and said in an excited look, “It’s nothing. It’s rare to be able to enjoy myself like today. Hey, today is a good day indeed. From the moment I opened my eyes to start the day until now, good things are happening one after another.”
Remembering the incident of Gan Wulin’s, Mu Yu couldn’t help but tease, “Don’t be so happy. Or else Gan Wulin will firmly believe that you are the one who is involved in breaking his leg.”
Wen Zeyu was shocked. “You know Gan Wulin too?”
“I don’t know this person, but I’ve heard of his doings. Moreover, I am the forensic doctor in his mother’s case.”
“Oh, that person is a human trash. He is considered lucky for breaking only his right leg.”
“Right leg?” Mu Yu suddenly recalled what Rong Jian mentioned today: Gan Wulin was blackmailing Qing Tian Group using Sun Meilan’s case. Suddenly, she noticed something was wrong and stood up abruptly, asking in a surprise tone, “How did you know he broke his right leg? Are you the one who…?”
