Chapter 1945: Chapter 558: The First Time She Was This Jealous (Part 3)

"Hey! I heard President Mu played the hero and saved a damsel in distress at the office building today!"

Helian Hao sneered as Mu Yichen walked over.

Mu Yichen knew she was sticking up for Qin Mu, so he didn’t mind her sarcasm. If hearing a few snide remarks from Helian Hao could make Qin Mu feel better, then so be it.

Qin Mu lifted her eyes slightly, saw his concerned gaze, and asked softly, "How is she?"

"Acute appendicitis, she’ll be fine after the surgery!"

Mu Yichen explained, his voice low.

"Oh, come on! Just a little secretary causing such a fuss. If she’s not healthy, she shouldn’t be working! I really dislike people like that!"

Helian Hao muttered again, growing increasingly displeased the more she thought about it.

"You should just say a little less; I’m already hard enough to appease!"

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly, unable to resist pleading with Helian Hao to hold her tongue.

"Hmph! So why are you two still waiting here?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Seeing that Mu Yichen realized his mistake, Helian Hao asked again, less sarcastic this time.

"Couldn’t get in touch with her family, Qiao Yi will come by later."

Then they would be able to leave.

"Speaking of, Qiao Yi is quite good too, just doesn’t attract as much attention."

Helian Hao stood to the side, arms crossed, speaking indifferently.

Mu Yichen gave her a pleading look, so Helian Hao turned to Qin Mu and said, "Seems like I don’t need to be here anymore?"

"Bye-bye!"

Qin Mu smiled obligingly and bid her farewell.

"You! Weren’t you just bawling your eyes out in my office? Kicking me out so soon? Choosing love over friendship!"

Helian Hao feigned anger, purposefully revealing Qin Mu’s earlier emotional outburst before leaving.

Qin Mu...

"Cried again?"

Mu Yichen asked her softly after Helian Hao had left.

Qin Mu didn’t respond, just moved to the window to look outside.

Mu Yichen followed, gently hugging her from behind, "Don’t be mad. I intended to call you to the office to help, but you saw what happened instead, and that’s on me!"

"So you’re saying that if I hadn’t seen it, you would’ve gone ahead?"

Even though she let him hold her, Qin Mu couldn’t help but voice her doubt.

Mu Yichen...

"Of course not! Next time she collapses in front of me, I won’t even help her up."

Mu Yichen promised in her ear, soothing her with a gentle kiss.

But...

It’s a matter of life and death; if he really did nothing,

She was angry because he held another woman, but she was even angrier at herself for realizing only now how much she couldn’t bear to lose him.

"If you were truly that cold-blooded, would you still be my man?"

Qin Mu turned around, looked up at him, and asked in a low voice.

Their eyes met, and Mu Yichen placed a light kiss on her forehead, "Silly! Everyone in this world knows I’m heartless!"

But Qin Mu just held him tightly, not wanting to see his tender gaze, not wanting to hear his indifferent words, only wanting to hug him tightly.

Mu Yichen felt her hold him very tightly, felt her face pressed firmly against his chest, his heart involuntarily pounding, his pulse racing.

"Mrs. Mu, keep holding me like this!"

Qiao Yi arrived not long after, and Qin Mu quickly released her hold on Mu Yichen to avoid any awkwardness.

"Haha! You guys can continue!"

Qiao Yi stood at the door of the operating room, his mouth twitching a bit. He spoke to them in an especially calm tone, like a good-natured elder brother.

"Then I’ll leave her to you, tell her she doesn’t need to come to work for two weeks."

Mu Yichen said to Qiao Yi before leaving.

Actually, Mu Yichen had already told her to rest at home, but Yang Qin seemed to be under some spell, insisting she was fine and had to go to work.

Well, now it’s clear; fainting once was an accident, but what do you call fainting twice? Just asking for it!

"I understand!"

Qiao Yi nodded.

After Qin Mu and Mu Yichen left, Qiao Yi stayed for quite a while. Later, when Yang Qin was pushed into her room, Qiao Yi stood there thinking for a bit about how to talk to her when she woke up.

Once the anesthesia wore off, she woke up and saw a tall figure standing at the window. Her mind instantly flashed to the man who had rushed over to catch her when she fainted, and unexpected tears welled up in her eyes: "Boss!"

Qiao Yi heard the weak, unreal voice, turned his head to look at the bed. Sure enough, she was awake, and Qiao Yi felt a wave of relief and went over immediately.

"It’s me, Old Qiao. How are you feeling now?"

Qiao Yi bent down, asked softly at her bedside.

"Old Qiao? Where’s the boss?"

"He and the boss’s wife left after bringing you to the hospital!"
