His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1451 - 409: Family Education Is Very Important (Part 9)

That night, Qin Mu once again understood what it means to suffer the consequences of one’s actions. Although there were no whips, there were ties, there were scarves! Mr. Mu could use these two items to create eighty different variations.

——

It was not until after ten the next morning that Qin Mu finally managed to climb up to her studio, only to find Li Yu already waiting there.

Xiaomei gave her a knowing look; on the sofa in the reception area, Li Yu was fiddling with a lighter, lost in thought.

Qin Mu walked over: "How does a busy person like you find time to visit me?"

Li Yu lifted his eyes, looking somewhat weary: "I thought you always clocked in on time, but it turns out you’re quite casual."

Li Yu spoke to her with a light laugh, vastly different from when they first met, Li Yu had already changed significantly.

"Now that everything is on track, I’m more relaxed, but why are you here?"

Qin Mu sensed he was intentionally avoiding her question, so she asked again.

"For my sister!"

Li Yu said, leaning against the sofa’s cushions, one hand lightly resting nearby, the other clutching a phone.

Qin Mu noted that he seemed tired, recalling that Li Man had said she moved out from his place.

Though she wondered what he was up to, he always seemed annoyed with his sister, but the moment she left, after just a few days, he became like this.

"What’s wrong with Li Man?"

Qin Mu asked him curiously.

Li Yu raised his eyes to look at her, finding her as calm and collected as before; wherever she goes, everything around seems so useless, no matter how grand.

Just like now, as she casually chatted with him, all surrounding sounds seemed to vanish suddenly, so quiet, with only her soft voice.

"She’s moved out, don’t say you don’t know where she’s living. In this city, she’s never made any friends, except for you, although there are reasons."

Li Yu laughed lightly, asking her.

Qin Mu lowered her eyes slightly, then inadvertently revealed a gentle smile: "Isn’t it better that she moved out? Since you can’t give her what she wants, and you’ve got a close girlfriend now, isn’t her staying with you an eyesore?"

"Eyesore? Some people, even knowing they’re an eyesore, still continue the relationship; I think you understand that."

Li Yu spoke lightly like a negotiation expert.

Qin Mu held her breath, her eyes slightly moving.

"Why don’t you admit that you actually like her, but lack the courage to be with her due to certain factors."

Qin Mu’s words, unexpectedly, struck him fiercely on the head.

"Is it because you and Mr. Mu were childhood sweethearts, so you think others like that should be together too?"

The gloom in Li Yu’s eyes was somewhat faint, but undeniably, he was indeed displeased because his secret was exposed.

"We are all adults; whether childhood sweethearts or naive companions, as long as one can provide happiness to the other, why not try it? If I were you, there’s no way I’d do what you’re doing."

"But I heard you avoided it for many years before finally accepting Mu Yichen."

Li Yu was not convinced at all, unwilling to be completely defeated by a few carelessly spoken words.

So after seeing through his thoughts, Qin Mu just smiled slightly, her eyes gazing out at the beautiful scenery outside: "I really don’t know where your sister lives now. Although she has been here once, she never mentioned her current residence. If the big star has nothing else, I need to get to work."

Qin Mu gently rested her hands on the edge of the sofa, and after speaking, she stood up.

Li Yu remained seated there, motionless for a long time.

He knew no one would force him to leave; he just needed to calm down. Indeed, his face was expressionless, completely motionless, sitting there quietly, feeling the coldness in his heart as if those chills were lacerating him.

Later, Li Yu received a call, needing to socialize and realized he’d already spent the whole morning in the studio, only then did he get up to leave.

Xiaomei came upstairs with a cup of coffee, saying to Qin Mu who was working intently: "Li Yu left! Thankfully, someone called him, bringing him back to his senses."

Qin Mu just smiled lightly: "Regarding feelings, perhaps only those who don’t understand won’t feel pain, and thus will remain rational!"

"Uh! Why suddenly so sentimental? But you really don’t know where Li Man moved to?"

Xiaomei seemed surprised; Qin Mu was not someone who easily indulges in sentimentality.
