Chapter 80#
He would definitely go crazy.#
“Is this considered liking someone?”
Jiang Yunhan was stunned for a moment by the question.
The car door not far away opened, and a figure emerged. Jian Yunchen, draped in Qin Mu’s jacket, silently watched their conversing backs.
Their figures under the moonlight reflected on the ground, continuously stretching and drawing near.
They looked incredibly well-matched.
It was the first time he saw such obvious anger on Jiang Yunhan’s face.
Was it because of him?
Because he was with Qin Mu?
What about Qin Mu? How would he choose?
One was a childhood friend, a “white moonlight” he had secretly loved and pursued for many years without success.
The other was a biological younger brother, lost to the outside world, who looked strikingly similar to the “white moonlight.”
Jian Yunchen tightened his fingertips, feeling a dull ache in his heart amidst its slow beating.
It really hurt.
More intense and prolonged than any scar he had ever sustained before.
Countless dark and twisted thoughts continuously flashed through his mind. His hands were clasped together, fingertips tightly gripping Qin Mu’s jacket. Qin Mu’s scent on the jacket had not yet dissipated, and the marks left on his skin seemed to continuously generate heat from within, burning hot.
Qin Mu suddenly looked at him.
A few steps away, moonlight fell on his shoulder.
He smiled at Jian Yunchen.
Jian Yunchen froze in place, the suffocating feeling of his heart being entangled by vines quickly faded, and it began to beat vibrantly again.
He watched Qin Mu, who walked past Jiang Yunhan, approaching him step by step.
The moonlight outlined his silhouette, the familiar curve of his lips, and his features became clearer.
Until Qin Mu stood before him, Jian Yunchen still couldn’t bear to blink, greedily staring at him.
Qin Mu chuckled, extended his hand, and waved it in front of him.
“Staring blankly?”
Jian Yunchen tightened his fingertips, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he gently shook his head.
This was the first time someone had firmly chosen him.
He pursed his lips, suppressing all his emotions.
Jian Yunchen’s jacket was already too dirty to wear, so he naturally received another piece of clothing from Qin Mu.
It wasn’t until Qin Mu’s car disappeared into the midnight that Jian Yunchen’s expression darkened.
He turned to look at Jiang Yunhan, his voice cold as he blurted out, “What were you two talking about?”
Jiang Yunhan opened his mouth, then slowly closed it again.
After Qin Mu finished speaking, his relaxed smile returned to his brows.
He put his index finger to his lips, a smile playing on his mouth, and his eyes upturned at the corners.
Qin Mu was extremely skilled at using his superior looks. His eyes, black as ink, sparkled with a brilliant smile as he softly said, “It’s a secret.”
“Can’t let him know, okay?”
Jiang Yunhan frowned slightly and couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”
Qin Mu lightly tapped his cheek with a fingertip, answering with a somewhat troubled expression, “If Jian Yunchen finds out some things, he might go crazy…”
He smiled, “So it’s better to keep it a secret for now.”
Jiang Yunhan was silent. Recently, the rumors about Qin Mu had indeed improved a lot…
But that didn’t mean there were no others around him. Not to mention anything else, today there were rumors of Yan Yi directly showing up at Qin’s company.
He paused, and asked suspiciously, “Can you really handle it well?”
Qin Mu nodded with a smile.
After a period of getting along, he found that the task wasn’t without loopholes, and the system was also half-foolish.
There were many ways to complete it.
Jiang Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief and also nodded.
And now, facing Jian Yunchen’s questioning, Jiang Yunhan pursed his lips tightly.
“I……”
“Yan Yi came to find me today, it’s related to Qin Mu.”
Jian Yunchen’s gaze paused, suddenly remembering the small friction between Jiang Yunhan and Yan Yi on the cruise ship, using Jiang Yunhan’s identity.
His expression softened slightly, “What did she come to tell you?”
Jiang Yunhan slowly frowned, also a bit puzzled, “She said Qin Mu agreed to be with her, and told me not to debase myself by being a mistress.”
“Qin Mu agreed to be with her?”
Jian Yunchen’s voice suddenly changed, his eyes cold as he stared intently at him.
Jiang Yunhan quickly tried to reassure him, “These are all her one-sided words, how can they count? If it’s a warning, she shouldn’t have come to me……”
Jian Yunchen didn’t listen any further and turned to leave.
His coattails drew a sharp arc in the night sky. Jian Yunchen’s pace quickened. He needed a confined space to calm down.
Otherwise……
He would definitely go crazy.
The next day, before Qin Mu even arrived at the company, he received a call from Qin Yanshen.
Qin Zheng had not given up on the cooperation with “Zhaohui,” and had privately contacted Qin Yanshen last night to inquire about the quantity of goods in the warehouse.
Qin Yanshen’s identity was special; both children had to call him “Second Uncle.” Originally, he kept a high profile, merely observing from the sidelines, waiting for a good show.
But now, Qin Mu bringing up his identity naturally made them partners.
So, early the next morning, Qin Mu received his tip-off.
Qin Mu hung up with a smile and immediately dialed Qin Zheng’s number.
“Manager Qin—” Qin Mu dragged out his tone, meaningfully, “Why disturb Second Uncle’s rest late at night? Couldn’t you just ask me directly?”
“Yesterday, the purchasing department happened to be short a person, so I sent Second Uncle to the purchasing department. The warehouse manager hasn’t found a suitable candidate yet.”
“I’ve taken the trouble, and now, it’s under my management.”
Qin Mu’s smiling voice could be heard as obvious provocation even through the electronic device.
Qin Zheng tightened his fingertips, suppressed his voice, and asked, “May I ask how much inventory is left now?”
Qin Mu curved his lips into a smile, letting out a perfectly timed sound of doubt.
“Manager Qin, why do you need to know this? Yesterday, didn’t President Qin say he wouldn’t consider cooperating with ‘Zhaohui’? Now you’re asking about inventory.”
“Tsk tsk……” Qin Mu teased softly, “Manager Qin, aren’t you afraid of getting spanked?”
Qin Zheng’s brow twitched, and he hung up the phone, unable to bear it any longer.
The disconnected dial tone kept ringing in the phone, but Qin Mu merely curved his lips.
He leaned back in his chair, tapping the armrest with his fingertips, the smile in his eyes deepening.
The fish had taken the bait.
The plan was proceeding smoothly.
So, in the afternoon, he received a message from Tang Rong.
「Qin Zheng contacted me, asking for 1 million units of goods.」
Qin Mu looked at the message, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He replied:「Agree to him.」
Let’s see if he has the ability to handle it.
Having dealt with one matter, Qin Mu pushed open his office door in a rather good mood.
With just one glance, the smile on his face quickly vanished.
He lowered his eyebrows and asked coldly:
“Why are you here?”
The visitor’s reaction was even greater than his; seeing him return, he abruptly took a step forward.
And threw the photos in his hand at him.
The colored photos scattered in the air, then rustled down to the floor.
The other person questioned sharply:
“Qin Mu! Is this what you promised me?”
