Chapter 46 Falling into The Love Trap for The First Time

“What-What is it?” Mu Yu looked at him nervously.

“My phone number, written a thousand times. I’ll come back and check for it tonight.”

As it turned out, he was asking about this.

Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, “Let me do a memory playback for you. It’s 1…”

Qin Jinhuan glanced at her faintly. “Did I ask you to memorize it? I want you to copy it down.”

“There’s no need to copy it down if I can memorize it. I…”

“Then I’ll give your parents a call.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t! You promised me not to disturb them over trivial things!” When he already fished out his phone, there was no more space for negotiation. Mu Yu’s imposing manner instantly turned weak and she timidly grabbed his hands. “I’ll write. I’ll write, okay? A thousand times, not one time less.”

“Very good. Let me check it tonight.” Qin Jinhuan put his phone back into his pocket. Then, he hummed a little tune as he walked out the door.

This Beast Qin!

Mu Yu glared at the back of him angrily. While she was cursing at him in silence, she had no choice but to look for some papers and a pen.

Sitting down at the study table, she would curse every time she finished writing his phone number.

Luckily, the phone number only consisted of a bunch of digits. She was holding three pens in her hand at the same time, and was writing really fast. Without even realizing it, she had already completed writing a few pages. She put down her pens when she thought she had written enough. Then, she started counting how many times she had the phone number written down.

At this moment, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Jiang Wenwen on the line, she quickly put down her pens and answered the call.

“Hey, guess where I’m at.”

“Where?” Mu Yu was almost dizzy from all the phone numbers, and was lazy to think.

“Haha, you can’t guess it? I’m at the entrance of your workplace.”

Mu Yu was really surprised. “What are you doing at the forensic lab? Did something happen again?”

“Look at how nervous you are. How can something happen so easily? I don’t have any classes in the afternoon, and I have nothing to do. I realize I’ve never been to your workplace so I came all the way to hang out with you. Why don’t you hurry up and receive me?”

“Oh.” Mu Yu finally sighed in relief. “But I have something to do today, so I didn’t go to work.”

“What? Alright, tell me where you are now. I’ll come and see you.”

“I’m at…” Mu Yu initially wanted to mention Qin Jinhuan’s house address. After some thinking, she felt that it wasn’t so convenient and asked vaguely, “Is there anything urgent that you want to see me for?”

“That… It’s nothing. I just want to see you and talk for a bit. Just some light chat, hehe. Hey, where are you actually? Ah? Is it because you’re with Young Master Qin, so it’s inconvenient for you to see me?”

“No, no. We’re not together.” Mu Yu had almost guessed what it was about. Looking at her watch, she refrained herself from laughing and said, “Alright, we’ll meet up at Qian Qian’s Desserts later.”

“Woah, it’s been so long since I dined at Qian Qian’s Desserts! Okay, I’ll be there in a minute, see you later!”

After she ended the call, Mu Yu placed the written pages of Qin Jinhuan’s phone number on his study table. Then, she changed her clothes and left the room with her bag. To tell the truth, when she walked downstairs, she was really worried that she would run into Qin Xiaozhi, for if she did, she would have to do a full explanation. So, she moved with very light steps and peeked around her as she walked. When she saw that he wasn’t in the living room downstairs, she ran out of the house.

“Mistress, you’re not feeling well?”

Hearing Huang Bo’s voice, she instantly paused and turned around, asking in surprise, “You didn’t send Qin… Huan to work?”

Huang Bo shook his head lightly. “Boss was worried that you might feel unwell later, and asked me to stay at home. Mistress, you…”

“Oh, I’m not feeling unwell. I just want to go out to run some errands.” As Mu Yu was talking, she took another glance into the house as she was afraid that Qin Xiaozhi or Dong Wanqing would show up unexpectedly.

“Oh, I’ll send you there. Wait for me to drive the car over here.”

“Hey…” She initially wanted to say that there was no need for that, but when she saw Huang Bo already running to the garage and knew that she couldn’t stop him, she didn’t say anything more, and stood where she was.

After all, she was just going to see Jiang Wenwen, and wasn’t afraid to be tailed by someone.

After a while, Huang Bo drove the car to her, and sent her to the first floor’s south entrance of the Heavenly Shopping Center according to her request.

Qian Qian’s Desserts was adjacent to the south entrance. Jiang Wenwen, who had reached first, hurriedly ran to her when she saw Mu Yu getting out of the car. At the same time, she waved and greeted Huang Bo.

Huang Bo wound down the car window, and nodded with a smile in response while telling Mu Yu, “Mistress, I’ll be waiting for you at the car park.”

Mu Yu nodded and then walked into Qian Qian’s Desserts with Jiang Wenwen.

“It’s my treat today. Order whatever you want to eat.” Jiang Wenwen, who had already sat down, generously passed the dessert shop’s menu to Mu Yu.

“You’re being unaccountably solicitous. You must be hiding some evil intentions.” Despite what Mu Yu said, she received the menu with her hands, and ordered some desserts from the waiter.

Jiang Wenwen smiled cunningly. “If you knew that I have evil agendas, why did you order so many? Aren’t you worried that I’ll do something to you? Hehehe!”

Mu Yu had a look of disdain on her face. “Bah! If I can’t see through your acts, then I’m not fit to be your best friend.”

Jiang Wenwen came to a realization, and her face flushed red. Her eyes even flickered, but she still said stubbornly, “Do tell me what kind of ideas I have in mind.”

“Last night, after Zeyu sent you back home, he had given me a call, and we talked for hours.”

Jiang Wenwen immediately straightened her back. “What did he say?”

Mu Yu didn’t answer her as she glanced calmly at the counter. “He said… Hey, the desserts are here.”

“What did he say? Tell me quickly.” Seeing that Mu Yu was keeping her guessing, Jiang Wenwen really couldn’t take it anymore. She went over and sat beside Mu Yu. Leaning closely to Mu Yu, she pleaded coyly, “My good Yu, hurry up and tell me.”

“Look at your silly self.” Mu Yu smiled and poked her head.

“I hate you.” Jiang Wenwen pretended to grab her hands. “Didn’t you look like this too when you were secretly admiring Xin Yihan? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly please. If you don’t tell me, I’ll really get angry. Don’t blame me if I do something to your Mu then.”

Previously, she would always mess with Mu if Mu Yu denied her when she needed Mu Yu’s help but. Then, Mu Yu, who had always cherished Mu, would have no choice but to agree to her demands. Because of this, she always got upset whenever Jiang Wenwen pulled this card.

“Mu isn’t at my hostel now.” When she saw Jiang Wenwen turning listless and was looking at her with pitiable eyes, Mu Yu couldn’t bear it, and responded with a laugh. “I’m just joking with you. Zeyu had indeed called me, but we didn’t talk for long. He only informed me that he had sent you back home safely.”

“Oh.” Jiang Wenwen shamelessly leaned toward her. “Tell me more about Zeyu.”

“Oh, you’re calling him ‘Zeyu’ already?”

“I hate you. You’re making fun of me again. Aren’t you calling him that too?” When she saw that Mu Yu was still laughing, Jiang Wenwen glared at her and snorted, “Mu Yu, besides blackmailing me, making fun of me, laughing at me, are there other things that you can do? Aren’t you a little incompetent as a best friend? Do you remember that time when I put my heart and soul to make you and Xin Yihan work? If you had listened to me, and mustered the courage to confess to him, you wouldn’t…”

“Okay, okay, stop talking already. I know I’m in the wrong, okay? I will now tell you every single detail I know about Wen Zeyu, alright?”

Jiang Wenwen threw her a look as if saying ‘that’s right’. Then, she sighed regretfully. “That time when you were too shy to confess to Xin Yihan, that was already one of your biggest regrets. I didn’t expect you to be so lucky. It’s like you lost something good but found something better. You’ve become the mistress of the Qin family. My luck has always been bad. That’s why I’ll always grab the opportunity for myself whenever I see something I want. Even if I couldn’t get what I fight for, at least I would not have any regrets. I realize that Wen Zeyu and I have many interests and hobbies in common. I’m really happy when I’m talking to him. I feel that this is a good start, that’s why I want to know more about him.”

Sensing her best friend’s seriousness, Mu Yu felt her heart sunk as she initially wanted to throw more jokes at Jiang Wenwen. After being quiet for some time, she explained weakly with an apologetic look, “Wenwen, I’m sorry. Actually, I’ve only met Wen Zeyu a few times. Besides knowing that he is the vice CEO of the Qing Tian Group, I don’t know anything else.”

“Then you can help me ask about him. I’ve heard that he and the Young Master Qin are best buddies. You are Young Master Qin’s wife. It shouldn’t be a problem asking about this.”

“This…” Mu Yu paused and then asked, “Are you simply having interests toward Wen Zeyu, or is it because of his background?”

“Am I a materialistic person?”

Looking at Jiang Wenwen with an earnest look on her, Mu Yu shook her head seriously.

Usually, Jiang Wenwen was silly. She especially liked paying attention to gossip involving the rich. She even liked to discuss the rich and always expressed her interests in rich, handsome and tall men. However, Mu Yu knew that this was all surface talk. When it came to relationships, her best friend was actually a very serious person who wouldn’t give in easily. It was just that she didn’t expect that it took so long for her best friend to find someone that she was interested in, and it turned out to be Qin Jinhuan’s buddy.

She didn’t know very much about Wen Zeyu, but she understood Qin Jinhuan. She knew that Qin Jinhuan was someone who didn’t care about relationships. As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together. She was afraid that Wen Zeyu and Qin Jinhuan were the same kind of people, and was worried that her best friend might get hurt in the future.

Even if Wen Zeyu and Qin Jinhuan weren’t the same type of people, she was still worried. Wen Zeyu is treating me and Jiang Wenwen so well. Is it because I’m Qin Jinhuan’s wife now? If Qin Jinhuan and I parted ways in the future, I would have no ties with Wen Zeyu. Will it still be possible for Wen Zeyu and Jiang Wenwen to be together?

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful for bringing Jiang Wenwen to Wen Zeyu’s birthday party, but she didn’t dare to speak out her concerns. She couldn’t let her best friend know about the contract of her being married to Qin Jinhuan. So, she replied vaguely, “I’ll help you to ask around when I get back.”

“Okay.” Jiang Wenwen had no idea of the things that Mu Yu was thinking about. Her face was all smiles and filled with hope.

For a moment, Mu Yu had nothing to say, and casually looked at her watch.

“It’s still early. Young Master Qin definitely hasn’t got off from work yet. Why don’t we shop around Heavenly Shopping Center? I just got my pay yesterday, and I want to buy some new clothes. I’m ready for the ‘war of love’, and for a good ‘counterattack’, I must wear something prettier.”

Speaking of buying clothes, Mu Yu remembered the VIP card that Qin Jinhuan had given to her, and took it out. “I have the discount card for Heavenly Shopping Center.”

Jiang Wenwen’s eyes brightened. “What are the things that can have their prices discounted? How many percent off?”

“I think everything can be discounted, but I don’t know how much will be discounted.”

“This is the special VIP gold card!” the waiter who passed by answered in envy. “Our boss has the silver card. He can get a 10% discount. I remember my boss saying that the VIP silver card holders can enjoy a 20% discount. You’re a VIP gold card holder, so you can probably get a 50% discount.”

“50% discount?” Jiang Wenwen looked like she was on stimulants. She hastily settled the bill, and pulled Mu Yu out of the dessert shop without another word. She ran straight into the fifth floor of Heavenly Shopping Center, which was filled with clothes and jewelry.

Mu Yu was afraid to let her best friend down, and kindly reminded her, “The waiter said that you’ll probably get a 50% discount. He didn’t say that there will be a 50% discount.”

“Even if it’s a 30% discount, it’s still a great deal! Hurry up and help me choose!”

“It’s only minutes past four. The shops close at ten. There’s no rush.”

“How could I not rush? What if Young Master Qin calls you, and you’ll have to go back? Then I won’t be able to buy it!”

Mu Yu’s mood turned sour at the mention of Qin Jinhuan. However, she knew that her best friend was right. She didn’t want to spoil her best friend’s day, so she said sourly, “It’s no big deal. I can just give you the card.”

“This is a special VIP gold card. It’s got your name printed on it. I definitely can’t use it! Hey, that shop’s clothes look really nice. Let’s go take a look.” As Jiang Wenwen finished talking, she left Mu Yu and ran quickly into the shop.

Looking at her being so impatient, Mu Yu smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to follow Jiang Wenwen, she turned around instinctively when she heard the sudden shouts of vicious remarks.

The woman, who was impeccably well dressed, had her hands on her waist and was scolding non-stop. The one who was being scolded was a middle-aged man with spectacles. He was sweating all over and was wearing an aged working uniform. The man had an extremely nervous look on him as he lowered his head and apologized repeatedly.

“If you can’t do something this trivial properly, why don’t you just die? You are f*cking useless. Even a pig’s brain is better than yours! You can’t even be compared to animals. You’re not fit to be a…”

“What is going on?” Mu Yu cut off the woman’s vicious remarks coldly, as she recognized that man.
