In Qin Jinhuan’s room.
Mu Yu placed a bowl of osmanthus flowers on the coffee table. She picked up some flowers and demonstrated to Qin Jinhuan. “Only keep the light-yellow petals. You can’t leave any green stems or else it’ll affect your health after consumption. Put the osmanthus flowers that are plucked into this empty bowl here. Do you understand?”
Qin Jinhuan was shocked. “This is a huge amount of osmanthus flowers. Do all of them need to have their stems plucked off?”
“Yes.”
“How long would I need to finish plucking them?”
“We need to see your speed then.” Mu Yu sat down on the side of the sofa happily, crossing her legs. “You obeyed my every word before I was pregnant. Now that I'm pregnant, you should spoil me in every way you can. Auntie Lan has even bought the sugar for preserving the osmanthus flowers, and is waiting for you to get it downstairs. If you’re not going to do anything this whole time, keep i
“What-What is it?” Mu Yu looked at him nervously. “My phone number, written a thousand times. I’ll come back and check for it tonight.” As it turned out, he was asking about this. Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, “Let me do a memory playback for you. It’s 1…”Qin Jinhuan glanced at her faintly. “Did I ask you to memorize it? I want you to copy it down.” “There’s no need to copy it down if I can memorize it. I…” “Then I’ll give your parents a call.” “Don’t, don’t, don’t! You promised me not to disturb them over trivial things!” When he already fished out his phone, there was no more space for negotiation. Mu Yu’s imposing manner instantly turned weak and she timidly grabbed his hands. “I’ll write. I’ll write, okay? A thousand times, not one time less.” “Very good. Let me check it tonight.” Qin Jinhuan put his phone back into his pocket. Then, he hummed a
That woman was scolding angrily but got cut off by Mu Yu. Seeing Mu Yu in an ordinary outfit and looking pissed off, the woman rolled her eyes disdainfully. “What? So you decided to be a busybody? Nowadays, you can’t be one without having money.”The man in spectacles looked at Mu Yu in shock. He then turned his gaze away and continued apologizing humbly to the woman. Mu Yu didn’t even bother looking at the woman and turned to the man in spectacles. “What actually happened?”When she saw that he was ignoring her, she knew that he couldn’t recognize her, so she immediately introduced herself, “I am Jiang Wenwen’s classmate.” “Oh. Thank you, but this is no big deal. I can handle it.” The man in spectacles wiped away his sweat, and pretended nothing serious had happened as he donned a smile. “Ugh, such big talk like it’s really no big deal! It’s 50,000 we’re talking about!” the woman mocked him sarcastically.
‘Clothing World’s owner’, ‘jumped off the building’, ‘died on the spot’ were the few key phrases that made Mu Yu’s head spin. “How could this be? How could this be?” She subconsciously grabbed Jiang Wenwen’s arm tightly. Her voice was shaky, and her eyes were trembling. No wonder the woman was instantly shocked to that extent just now. Jiang Wenwen, whose face was just as pale, held her phone tightly and looked at Yan Xiaobing with disbelief. “Bing, is-is this true?” Yan Xiaobing nodded solemnly. “After that incident, there were some colleagues that went to the scene to have a look. They confirmed that the victim was the owner of the Clothing World, Fu Hongyun.” “Oh my God!” Mu Yu felt her legs weakened. Jiang Wenwen immediately helped her up and was speaking so fast as if she was trying to convince herself. “Maybe the reason she jumped off the building wasn’t because of what happened yesterday, but
“Help! Don’t! Don’t kill me! Don’t——”The panicked screams came from the sofa. Qin Jinhuan rushed over just with just a few steps, and saw Mu Yu curled up on the sofa. Her hands were moving frantically, and her pale face was filled with horror. Was she having a nightmare?He grabbed her shoulders and shook them, “Wake up. Wake up, quickly.”Mu Yu opened her dull eyes. When she finally saw the person who was standing in front of her, she immediately hugged him and broke into tears. Her sad and shrill cries created havoc in Qin Jinhuan’s heart. He hugged her tightly, whispering comforting words into her ears, while wondering about the dreams that had scared her to this extent. As far as he was aware, her mental state wasn’t that weak. After a while, Mu Yu calmed down a little.. When she lifted her head and saw him, she pushed him away as if she was jolted by electricity, and apologized continuously, “I’m
Listening to the sounds outside, Mu Yu’s heart sank. She pushed away Jiang Wenwen and rushed over to open the door. “Dad, what…”“Young Master Qin is here!” “What?” Mu Yu almost bit her tongue. “Wh-What is he doing here?” Before she finished asking, Qin Jinhuan showed up behind her father and smiled brightly. “I want to try out Mum’s cooking too.”When Mu Yu saw him calling out ‘Mum’ so smoothly, she was extremely shocked. It’s not like my parents don’t know the relationship between us. Was it really necessary to put up a show in front of them?“Trying Auntie’s cooking is only an excuse. The truth must be that you’re missing Yu, am I right?” Jiang Wenwen smiled and teased her. “Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.”“Don’t talk nonse…” Realizing that she shouldn’t casually point out to her best friend that she was talking nonsense, Mu Yu immediately changed her expression into an
This is impossible! Something must have gone wrong!Mu Yu took a few deep breaths and quickly dialed Jiang Wenwen’s number. She didn’t even greet her and asked straightaway, “Was it on the afternoon of 17th of September that your school organized that donation activity for charity in Cheng Xi Park?The 17th of September. That day left a deep impression on her. Because on that day, three major events happened: reporting to the workplace, getting to know Qin Jinhuan, and the Sun Meilan’s murder case.“Yes, what’s wrong?” Jiang Wenwen was smiling on the other end of the phone. “Are you sure you saw Yan Xiaobing that day?”“Yes, I saw him. What’s the matter?” “Are you sure?” Mu Yu’s eager questioning caused Jiang Wenwen to be cautious. She immediately stopped giggling and asked with a trace of suspicion, “Why are you asking?” “Answer me quickly!”Jiang Wenwen answered
At dawn, Mu Yu was awakened by Qin Jinhuan, and remembered that today was the day they were going for their honeymoon. She rubbed her puffy eyes as she quickly got up to freshen up and change. She dozed off as soon as she got into the car, as she hadn't been sleeping well in two days straight. By the time she woke up again, she was shocked to find herself lying on bed. “Hi.”She was startled to see Qin Jinhuan lying beside her, smiling at her with a sly look, like he was up to no good. There wasn't anything between them. Mu Yu was extremely shocked and quickly moved to the other side of the bed, while her hands frantically went under the sheets. Qin Jinhuan saw through her thoughts with just a glance before looking away in disdain. “Tsk! Your whole body smells of barbecue. I would be surprised if someone’s interested in you.”“You won’t die from the smell.” Mu Yu responded in dismay, and yet couldn't refrain herself
When she heard Jiang Wenwen’s sobs, Mu Yu was instantly anxious. She asked urgently, “What happened?” “Bing got taken away by the police!” “What?” Mu Yu’s heart sank. “Is he really the…”She dared not go on. Despite her doubts, she really didn’t want to believe that Yan Xiaobing was the murderer. Jiang Wenwen was already crying on the other end of the line. “Actually, the police came to question me last night. Since this matter is serious, I didn’t dare say anything. I went to school this morning to find out more. That’s when I knew the police had also looked for my colleagues who were involved in the donation charity in order to learn more about the situation. One of my colleagues confirmed that he had seen Bing in Cheng Xi Park on that day. I felt so distressed, and was hoping that there was some sort of misunderstanding. I tried to call Bing, but his number couldn’t be reached. When I finally got off work, I went to his workp
