"Humph!"

The old man looked at him and snorted, as if mocking him.

Mu Yichen couldn’t hold it any longer, raised his eyes to look at the old man sitting at the head of the table, and with his eyes asked him: "Where is she?"

"Eating!"

The old man picked up a spoon to drink his soup.

This time Mu Yichen really frowned: "There’s an additional car at home!"

The voice was light, without warmth, as if someone else had an auditory hallucination.

"Oh! Is that so? I didn’t notice!"

The old man had a look of complete ignorance.

"You humph and mock, yet you didn’t notice?"

Mu Yichen asked with his deep voice, in a good-natured manner.

"Humph! I really didn’t notice, we have so many cars at home, how can I keep track of them all!"

The old man looked at him with an expression that said he wouldn’t tell him anything unless he mentioned Qin Mu.

"Did Qin Mu come back?"

Mu Yichen couldn’t hold on any longer, thinking that if he couldn’t get an answer, he wouldn’t be able to eat a single bite.

The old man gave him a sharp look for a few seconds, then chuckled: "You foolish boy, if you had guts, you wouldn’t ask!"

From the old man’s expression, Mu Yichen knew she had definitely come back, but now he felt a vague unease in his heart.

"But, to be accurate, she just came back briefly!"

The old man thought for a while and sighed, feeling that this couple had it rough; something always came up to separate them when things were going well.

"Came back briefly?"

Mu Yichen carefully repeated the words, his frown deepening.

"Yes! She left as soon as the rain stopped in the morning, said she had a flight to London."

The old man’s expression suddenly became a bit dejected, and he felt some heartache for his grandson.

Mu Yichen, upon hearing this, couldn’t bring himself to get angry, suddenly feeling that all the energy he had gathered disappeared, leaving him feeling like a wreck.

"But she said she would definitely come back when Huanhuan starts school, so just hold on a little longer and it’ll be over! This trip to London is probably very important to her, which is why she didn’t wait for you."

The old man added, trying to comfort his grandson.

"Yeah! Important enough to have spent the night at her sister’s last night!"

Mu Yichen suddenly lost his appetite, gently put down his chopsticks, and looked at his wrist; the watch was still bought by her. Everything she bought for him, no matter how big or small, expensive or cheap, he had always cherished over the years, but she seemed unable to sense his intentions.

Or perhaps, she sensed his deep love for her, which is why she so freely wanders in and out of his world, back and forth, head held high.

Does she know that a person’s feelings cannot be squandered?

When will she let go?

He just remembered that Wang Huanyu had invited him to the Qin Family the previous night, which was a blatant hint, but how could he have imagined that Qin Mu would run back?

He also recalled that she had a contract termination agreement to sign with someone, so of course, she had to come back.

At the end of the month or early next month, she and Luo Li’s show would take place, so of course, she also had to come back.

None of her returns were because of him.

Mu Yichen suddenly felt a bit angry, so the next day at the office, he asked Yang Qin: "Arrange a recent flight to London, there are a few clients there; we agreed last year to gather this year."

Yang Qin was stunned, because Xi Meng had repeatedly instructed her not to arrange business trips for Mu Yichen, saying that he had refused business trips since getting married unless it was extremely important.

But now that Mu Yichen himself requested it, Yang Qin thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay!"

However, after she left the office, she first called Xi Meng. Xi Meng, who was nurturing her pregnancy at home, was also stunned by the news, and then helplessly said to her: "Then arrange it!"

The next day, Mu Yichen took Yang Qin on a flight to London. For Yang Qin, this was work, fortunately just for a week, though she felt worried about her grandmother.

Mu Yichen didn’t notice Yang Qin’s concerns and as soon as the plane took off, he started reading the newspaper.

At this point, his heart was like his sharply defined features: cold, restrained, and unfeeling.

By the time they arrived in London, Qin Mu was already there discussing specific details of fashion design with a client.

Same hotel, YD.

Qin Mu was staying on the twenty-sixth floor, discussing details with a client in the café in the lobby. The client’s high demands for the fashion made Qin Mu a bit anxious, but years of experience had honed her character to be fairly mild.

"Miss Qin, I really must ask for your help this time; this engagement party is extremely important to me!"

The client’s silver hair was styled very neatly, and she communicated fluently in English with Qin Mu, taking Qin Mu’s hand in excitement.

Qin Mu only smiled at her and said, "I will do my utmost!"

——

Mu Yichen had just checked into the hotel, with Yang Qin in the room next to him. After they put down their luggage, they headed downstairs.

Location! Café!
