Only Favoring His Wife Chapter 6
Observing Qin Mucheng, who sat casually on the sofa, an equally attractive man made a jesting remark. However, Qin Mucheng responded by casually picking up his coffee and pursing his lips.
"Why the silence? You seem as expressive as a piece of timber!" The man who spoke appeared accustomed to such treatment and continued teasing amiably.
Facing this treatment, Qin Mucheng seemed unfazed. He set down his coffee and raised an eyebrow as he spoke coldly, "Just get to the point, no need for games."
"Are you truly unaware of my intentions, Mucheng?" The man who had been smiling moments ago dropped his grin and asked earnestly.
Observing Qin Mucheng's continued silence, the man wore a wistful smile, and although his tone was tinged with helplessness, he pressed on with seriousness:
"What's the deal between you and Lin Yang? If I hadn't overheard you talking to Secretary Xiao about investigating and confronting him by the door, would you have kept it from me? When did this start, and why? Please, if you still consider me a friend, I hope you'll share."
Sensing the underlying worry and care in the man's words, Qin Mucheng replied softly:
"It's nothing, no need to fret. It's just that I recently realized that something between him and me has changed."
"What do you mean? Are you suggesting that Lin Yang..." the man continued in astonishment.
Glancing at his wristwatch, Qin Mucheng interjected, "Alright!" He recognized that today's actions were a departure from the norm for Qin Mucheng.
Yan Qiu, the man, ceased his inquiry, content to uncover the truth later on. However, when he observed Qin Mucheng rise and prepare to leave, he arched an eyebrow and inquired, "Is there something important on your agenda later?"
"I had promised my grandfather and the rest of the family that I'd join them for lunch at the ancestral home today," Qin Mucheng replied composedly.
"Really? Let me come along. It's been a while since I visited Grandpa Qin and your uncle," Yan Qiu suggested with a warm smile.
"Not today, I'm going with Ye Yunjin," Qin Mucheng declined.
"What? Ye Yunjin? He's your spouse, right? I mean, don't you hate him?"
"Alright, Yan Qiu, I have some things to attend to later, so let's leave it at that for now. We can discuss the rest later."
"Why would you want to bring him along? Did something happen? You're actually... what about Mingxi..." Yan Qiu couldn't resist his curiosity and fired off one question after another.
However, Qin Mucheng had no intention of indulging his curiosity. With determined strides, he exited the office swiftly.
Yan Qiu's inquiries continued until Qin Mucheng vanished. At that moment, the smile had disappeared from his face.
He gazed in the direction Qin Mucheng had gone, muttering to himself, "Mu Cheng, what's going on with you?"
Meanwhile, in the room at the villa, Ye Yunjin had already dressed and was sitting on the bed.As the clock inched closer to eleven o'clock, had been eagerly anticipating this moment. The anxious mood he had experienced earlier had gradually given way to a sense of calm.
A gentle knock on the door interrupted the stillness, prompting Ye Yunjin to rise and make his way to the door. When he opened it, he found the same maid as before.
"Mr. Ye, the second young master is waiting for you downstairs. Please come down," the maid informed him.
"Alright, I'll be there shortly," Ye Yunjin responded before leaving the room. As he descended the stairs step by step, he finally reached his destination. Pausing, he opened his soft almond eyes slightly and examined the person standing before him with care.Ye Yunjin spotted Qin Mucheng standing tall beside a silver-gray car, his hand casually resting in his trouser pocket. As Ye Yunjin looked up at Qin Mucheng, the posture caused Qin Mucheng's head to tilt slightly, revealing his enticing neck. The sunlight happened to illuminate his face, lending a sharp and stern aspect to his otherwise smooth visage. All of this left Ye Yunjin with a sense of surrealism.
However, Qin Mucheng glanced again at the motionless Ye Yunjin, prompting him to approach and inquire, "Is something the matter?" If you listened closely, you could detect a subtle warmth beneath the cold, unyielding tone.
"No, nothing," Ye Yunjin quickly snapped back to reality upon hearing Qin Mucheng's words, his nerves evident. He followed up nervously, "Um, are we leaving?
"Let's hop in the vehicle," Qin Mucheng suggested. Afterward, he took the initiative to open the passenger-side door, his gaze fixed on Ye Yunjin.
Observing Qin Mucheng's action, Ye Yunjin hesitated briefly before taking action. He moved forward swiftly and, just as he was about to step across, paused. In a hushed tone, he murmured, "Thank you," and then lowered his head slightly as he settled into the car.
Qin Mucheng's expression remained unchanged. He observed Yunjin as he took his seat and securely closed the car door. However, as he turned to head to the other side, a subtle smile curled at the corner of Qin Mucheng's lips.
The scenery outside the car gradually receded, yet within the vehicle, an air of silence persisted. Since Ye Yunjin had uttered his thanks and entered the car, not a word had passed between them.
Certainly, Ye Yunjin isn't avoiding conversation; it's just that he's unsure of what to say because Qin Mucheng holds a unique place in his life.
