Chapter 2059: Chapter 587: Subordinates Must Understand the Rules (Second Update)

Qin Mu finished applying lipstick, quickly tossed the lipstick and mirror onto the sofa, and then rolled onto the bed.

Even though she was wearing a white shirt and a blue tight skirt, her movements into his arms were still quite free.

Mu Yichen, half-squinting, looked at the exquisitely made-up woman in his arms and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, his voice still so husky: "Put on makeup?"

"Do I look good?"

Qin Mu softly asked him, though her gaze was not as gentle as her voice.

"You look great!"

Mu Yichen felt terribly dry and continued to seek a warm, soft place to comfort himself.

Listening to his husky voice, Qin Mu knew he had overexerted himself drinking the previous night, and she couldn’t help but look at him disapprovingly, stretching her hands to push away from his embrace: "Let go of me, I’ll ask the kitchen to send you something to drink."

"My dear Mrs. Mu, I only want you now!"

Mu Yichen murmured raspily before her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Mu found herself pinned beneath him.

She actually wanted to escape his arms just then; he really needed something to drink.

But...

In less than two minutes, the clothes she had put on only minutes ago were stripped off and thrown to the floor by him; on the big bed, in the warm comforter, indescribable things occurred.

——

At ten-thirty in the morning, outside Mu Yichen’s office, Yang Qin and Qiao Yi exchanged glances, then helplessly looked down.

Mu Yichen indeed hadn’t shown up.

Qiao Yi softly said to Yang Qin: "If he doesn’t come, so be it!"

"Shall we call and ask?"

"Ask what? Whether he’s had enough fun with Qin Mu in bed, or whether making his wife happy is worth skipping such an important meeting?"

No matter the reason, Yang Qin couldn’t help but turn away; she didn’t even want to hear it.

"Yang Qin, as subordinates, we must know our place."

Subordinates?

Indeed! Just subordinates! A smart subordinate wouldn’t repeatedly call the boss at an inopportune time; people say she’s such an efficient and astute secretary, how could she make such a basic mistake?

"Let’s go!"

Qiao Yi thought over and over again about telling Yang Qin that Qin Mu already knew her feelings, but feared it would affect her work.

Xi Meng instructed him to say nothing for now; since Qin Mu didn’t want to expose her, and wanted to wait until she returned to work, they should endure this period.

Yang Qin and Qiao Yi entered the elevator to attend the meeting, but their hearts were occupied by one person; his eyes, always watching that woman, they heard he’d done so for many years, still looking with such affection, Yang Qin thought, the world’s best love couldn’t last more than so many years, could it?

When Mu Yichen arrived at the office, it was already two in the afternoon. Qiao Yi discussed work in his office for a while, continually hesitating.

Mu Yichen, sitting on the sofa with legs crossed, lit a cigarette: "Are you going to speak or not?"

Qiao Yi clasped his hands, elbows resting on his knees, leaned forward, head down in contemplation, and instinctively raised his eyes at Mu Yichen’s words.

"If you won’t speak, go back to your office! If you will, speak up!"

Mu Yichen couldn’t stand Qiao Yi’s hesitance; even years ago, when Jing Qing stood between them, Qiao Yi hadn’t been so restrained.

"Last night I chatted with Qin Mu for a few minutes."

Qiao Yi remarked.

Mu Yichen looked at him in confusion, cigarette lightly placed on the sofa armrest.

"She saw me with Yang Qin drunk."

Mu Yichen asked indifferently: "What do you mean?"

Yang Qin drunk?

Caught by Qin Mu seeing Yang Qin drunk?

Is there an issue?

"Yang Qin secretly loves you!"

Seeing Mu Yichen unwilling to understand, Qiao Yi softly reminded him.

Mu Yichen was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled: "Old Qiao, such talk shouldn’t be taken lightly."

"You know I’m not talking lightly!"

Qiao Yi realized he didn’t plan to acknowledge it, so he reminded him again.

Mu Yichen fell truly silent this time, quietly smoking.

"But Qin Mu likely knew it for a long time, just never exposed Yang Qin, possibly to avoid impacting your work."

Qiao Yi explained, naturally relying on Xi Meng’s analysis, since with his skill set, he couldn’t decipher others’ emotions so clearly.

Mu Yichen suddenly realized something: "You go out! Just act as if you know nothing."

Mu Yichen’s voice was bland.

Qiao Yi instinctively looked at him, misunderstanding eyes.

Yet Mu Yichen didn’t offer further explanation.

When Yang Qin brought documents for him to sign, Mu Yichen didn’t look at her, merely held a cigarette in his mouth while he read the papers, verified accuracy, and added his signature.

"The evening engagements have already been postponed for you!"
