Chapter 49 : Arrange breakfast for Miss Mu

After Wang Yanru left, Ye Wanqing, holding her stomach, burst into loud laughter “Hahaha,this woman is making me laugh to death. My brother wouldn’t even bother with her, but she’s dreaming on her own.”

How could there be such a ridiculous woman?

She had never seen anyone like that when she was in Su City.

“Bei City really has all kinds of bizarre people.”

Mu Qianqian couldn’t help but smile at her words.

Just then, her phone rang, and the voice assistant chimed in “Emergency contact is calling you.”

“Wanqing, I’m going to take this call.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Mu Qianqian found a secluded spot and hesitated for a while before answering the call.

Her voice was as soft as a kitten’s, timid, “…Hello?”

On the other end of the line, Fu Sichan’s deep, magnetic voice came through, “Have you had lunch?”

Mu Qianqian nervously fiddled with her clothing to calm herself.

“Yes, I have.”

“Why didn’t you eat before leaving this morning?”

“I, I had breakfast at the hotel.”

After saying that, Mu Qianqian held her breath, waiting for the response from the other side.

She was afraid that Fu Sichan might bring up last night’s awkward situation.

“Mm, make sure to eat well.”

Fortunately, he didn’t mention the embarrassing topic.

It seemed that Mr. had called specifically just to check if she had eaten properly.

Mu Qianqian felt as though someone had gently pinched her heart, bringing a swirl of indescribable emotions sweet and sour, mixed with a touch of youthful innocence.

When Fu Sichan ended the call, Assistant Xiao approached.

“Mr. Fu, Mr. Xia wants to schedule a meeting with you to discuss a collaboration. What do you think…”

“Mr. Xia from the semiconductor industry?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s schedule it for the day after tomorrow afternoon.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it.”

Assistant Xiao left the president’s office and ran into Assistant Wang on the way.

“Hey, Assistant Wang, where did you go this morning? I didn’t see you around.”

Assistant Wang looked around and spoke mysteriously.

“Mr. Fu asked me to handle some personal matters.”

“Oh.” Assistant Xiao, picking up on the hint, didn’t press further. “I’ll go arrange the meeting between Mr. Fu and Mr. Xia. See you later.”

Assistant Wang took a large cup of water and gulped it down.

Early in the morning, he received a call from Mr. Fu, instructing him to check if Miss Mu was at the Yun Cheng Hotel.

When he arrived, Miss Mu was indeed there.

Mr. Fu had instructed him to inform the hotel staff to arrange breakfast for Miss Mu.

So, the hotel manager unusually arranged a lavish buffet breakfast for all the employees.

Assistant Wang stayed at the hotel for the entire morning, ensuring Miss Mu was well taken care of before returning to the office.

…

“Finished with the call?” Ye Wanqing asked.

Mu Qianqian nodded, “Yes.”

“Were you on the phone with your family?”

Mu Qianqian thought for a moment, “Sort of.”

Even though Mr. wasn’t her blood relative, since they were married, they were family now.

Family…

Mu Qianqian’s thoughts drifted back to what Mr. had said about “having children” yesterday.

Her face flushed, and she quickly pushed those thoughts out of her mind.

“Qianqian, what’s wrong? You look like you’re troubled about something,” Ye Wanqing asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.”

She didn’t feel comfortable sharing such personal matters with her friend.

“If you’re facing any difficulties, feel free to talk to me anytime. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll definitely assist you.”

Mu Qianqian was deeply touched, “Thank you, Wanqing.”

“Your break time is almost over, right? You should go back to work. I won’t keep you.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qianqian returned to her workstation.

A group of colleagues were gathered together chatting, with Wang Yanru at the center of attention.

“Ah, Mr. Ye wants to meet me tonight, but I feel like it’s not quite right. What do you all think?”

“Yanru, such a great opportunity, and you’re not taking it? If I were you, I’d seize it immediately.”

Wang Yanru looked proud, “But I think women should be a bit more reserved. Otherwise, those men won’t appreciate you once they have you.”

“You really know how to handle men. I’ll need to consult you next time I’m in a relationship.”

“You don’t even need to do much. If a man has you in his heart, you don’t need to use tricks. He’ll be devoted to you.”

The more Wang Yanru spoke, the more self-satisfied she seemed, as if Mr. Ye was already hers.

With many guests at the hotel today, Mu Qianqian stayed behind to work overtime.

In the evening, Mu Qianqian received a call from Ye Wanqing.

“Qianqian, go to the Fountain Garden. I have something to give you.”

“What is it, Wanqing?”

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

Just then, a colleague ran in excitedly, “Yanru, I just saw Mr. Ye in the garden. He must be waiting for you. You should go over quickly.”

Wang Yanru, hearing this news, was almost ecstatic.

Could it be that Mr. Ye heard what she said at the door?

So he specifically came to the garden to wait for her?

Thinking of this, Wang Yanru’s heart raced, and she quickly took out her compact mirror to reapply her lipstick.

Even if Mr. Ye wasn’t waiting for her specifically, she could still take this chance to get closer to him while returning the clothes and make a good impression as someone who isn’t materialistic.

Wang Yanru snapped shut her compact mirror with a decisive click, strutting toward the Fountain Garden in her high heels, her demeanor haughty.

As she took a few steps, she glanced up and saw that Mu Qianqian was heading in the same direction.

Wang Yanru sneered disdainfully, “What, are you a blind person trying to meet Mr. Ye too?”

Mu Qianqian chose to ignore her, not even turning her head.

Wang Yanru assumed everyone was like her, driven by ambitions of climbing the social ladder.

Mu Qianqian was merely heading to find her friend Ye Wanqing and had nothing to do with men.

Wang Yanru scorned, “Tch, what are you pretending to be so aloof for, you lowly person?”

In the center of the Fountain Garden stood a small castle-like pavilion, with Mr. Ye beneath it, looking like a noble prince.

Wang Yanru hurried toward him.

The path to the pavilion was flanked by lush greenery.

Mu Qianqian was initially walking ahead, but Wang Yanru, eager to make an impression on Mr. Ye, quickened her pace to overtake her.

Wang Yanru thrust her hip, bumping Mu Qianqian aside.

Fortunately, the dense trees broke her fall, or she would have ended up on the ground.

“Wang Yanru, why did you bump into me?”

“Ah, how did you fall?” Wang Yanru feigned surprise loudly.

She noticed that Mr. Ye’s gaze was drawn to their side.

Wang Yanru felt a surge of satisfaction and helped Mu Qianqian up. “The path in the garden is uneven. You should be more careful.”

In a secluded corner where no one could see, she leaned close to Mu Qianqian and threatened venomously, “Get lost quickly! If you dare to ruin my chance with Mr. Ye, don’t blame me for being unkind.”

Wang Yanru swayed her hips provocatively as she walked toward the pavilion.

“Mr. Ye, I’m so sorry. A colleague of mine has poor eyesight and stumbled on level ground. I helped her up just now, which took a bit of time. You must have been waiting for a while.”

“This is the suit you lent me yesterday. I heard from a friend that clothes from this brand are quite valuable, so I had it cleaned and brought it back to you.”
