Chapter 1525: 1524 can wear it in front of me
Qin Mu’s handsome face suddenly changed color.
In his eyes, deep as a pool, surged deep self-blame.
Had he hurt her, not just once?
“You would never know, that night after I was kidnapped, how much I hoped you would come to save me.”
Similarly being rescued, An Lin hoped the one to save her was the man she loved.
Of course, if Qin Mu didn’t know where she was, that would be a different matter.
But he knew, yet chose to stay in the hospital and didn’t go to find her.
“An Lin, I didn’t go to rescue you that night because I knew the Wu brothers could get you out.”
The Wu brothers tracked to Yao Dewei’s villa and, after reconnaissance, found out that there were only a few people who had gone with Yao Dewei inside.
After Yao Dewei left, they then called Qin Mu.
Qin Mu instructed them to rescue An Lin.
At the time, he didn’t consider An Lin’s feelings. Later, when the Wu brothers said An Lin was almost humiliated, he regretted it.
“Ah Mu, what I want, you can’t give; no matter how much more you give, it’s not what I want, and it will just tire us all out.”

The next day, An Lin also went to the company.
Ever since last night, after she talked with Qin Mu, her attitude towards him seemed to have returned to the way it was before.
Just treating him as a friend, not a husband.
One good thing was that their interactions had become natural and harmonious.
But Qin Mu felt uncomfortable inside; he didn’t like An Lin being so distant and shutting him out of her world.
On Tuesday morning, just before getting off work, An Lin received a call from Yang Junze.
“An Lin, I’m going back to A City this afternoon, do you have time to have lunch together?”
An Lin was flipping through the documents with one hand and holding the phone to her ear with the other. Listening to Yang Junze’s words, she thought for a moment and readily agreed, “Sure, which restaurant?”
Yang Junze named a restaurant, and after hearing it, An Lin chuckled, “Don’t tell me you’re already at that restaurant now?”
“You guessed it right.” Yang Junze also laughed joyfully on the other end of the phone.
An Lin light-heartedly said, “Give me ten minutes.”
When Qin Mu pushed the door open and came in, An Lin had just hung up the phone.
Seeing her brows and eyes carrying a smile, seemingly in a good mood, Qin Mu’s eyes flickered, and he lightly curled his lips, walking into the office, “Whose call made you so happy?”
Upon seeing him enter, the smile on An Lin’s face slightly faded.
She closed the file and nonchalantly explained, “A friend came to City C on a business trip, going back this afternoon, invited me for lunch.”
“Oh?”
Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, “A friend I know?”
He purely wanted to get closer to An Lin, not infringe on her personal space to make friends.
An Lin looked up at him, “It’s Yang Junze, I bumped into him a few days ago.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, but soon, his expression returned to normal, “Is it okay if I join you?”
“Whatever.”
An Lin replied with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Although she had proposed divorce to him, she never intended to cheat.
She only spoke of marrying Yang Junze back when she didn’t like him, and at that time, she was single.
Now, she was married.
Even if divorced, she wouldn’t be with Yang Junze, she wouldn’t hurt anyone again.
Qin Mu’s narrow eyes flashed and added, “This is also on our turf, so at noon we should host Yang Junze for lunch.”
“You’re just going to pay, aren’t you?”
As An Lin came out from behind the desk, Qin Mu frowned at her business suit, “An Lin, let me accompany you home to change before the appointment.”
“Why?”
An Lin looked at him, puzzled.
Was there something unbecoming about this outfit?
“Your figure is too good; you shouldn’t appear so sexy in front of a man who’s interested in you.”
She seemed plumper than before. Recently, she often wore loose, casual clothes, so it wasn’t particularly noticeable.
But once the business suit wrapped around her frame, it was an S-shape, front protruding, back rounded, utterly perfect.
In fact, Qin Mu had wanted to address this issue these past two days.
To ask her not to wear business attire, or buy a set one size larger.
An Lin’s eyes flashed a hint of surprise, she looked down to examine herself again, “Did I gain weight recently?”
“Not fat, just fuller.”
Qin Mu’s lips curled into a joyful arc, reaching out to tug the fabric at her waist, but An Lin instinctively dodged, “What are you doing?”
“What are you afraid of, I just wanted to show you the suit is too tight.”
He didn’t touch her little jacket, so he retracted his hand, “Let’s go, change before we go.”
“I don’t feel it’s too tight; I thought this suit didn’t show off my figure before, now it finally does.” An Lin murmured while walking to the door, Qin Mu frowned, turning back to look at her, “Who said it didn’t show off your figure before?”
“…”
An Lin forced a laugh, and Qin Mu continued, “All your clothes show off your figure.”
“Then I can’t wear any of my clothes?”
An Lin couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You can wear them, just not in front of men with improper thoughts.”
An Lin nodded thoughtfully, “Got it, I’ll go back and throw away all the clothes you think show off my figure, I’ll only buy clothes one size larger.”
“You can wear them in front of me.”
Qin Mu good-naturedly explained.
An Lin pushed him away, opened the door, and in a humming tune said, “I’m not stupid to wear them in front of the most untrustworthy man.”
Qin Mu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
**
In the end, An Lin still followed Qin Mu home, changed her clothes, and then went to the restaurant as arranged with Yang Junze.
Seeing Qin Mu and An Lin arriving together, a look of surprise flashed in Yang Junze’s eyes, but he quickly returned to smiling.
Qin Mu faintly curled his lips, extended his hand to shake Yang Junze’s, gentlemanly pulled out a chair for An Lin to sit.
“I heard from An Lin that Chief Yang is on a business trip to City C, heading back to A City this afternoon?”
Qin Mu sat next to An Lin, while Yang Junze took a seat opposite their side of the table.
Yang Junze glanced at An Lin, seemingly surprised she would tell Qin Mu, but thinking again, since they were married, it wasn’t unexpected.
“I ran into An Lin three days ago, and since I’m heading back to A City this afternoon, I invited her out for a meal. Young Master Qin wouldn’t mind, right?”
Qin Mu glanced at An Lin, his gaze gentle, answering Yang Junze, “I don’t mind. An Lin’s friends are my friends too. What does Chief Yang like to eat? This lunch is on us.”
“Haha, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Yang Junze took the menu from the waiter, scanned through it, and skillfully ordered several dishes.
Listening to the names of the dishes he ordered, a subtle, fleeting oddness passed through Qin Mu’s eyes, too brief for others to capture before it returned to a serene smile.
