His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 865 - 248 new rules established (3)_2

Xi Meng was afraid he would overthink it.

"Then why let me stay at your house?"

When Qiao Yi asked her, he was also a bit nervous.

The sun was a bit strong outside, but Qiao Yi’s gaze on her remained unchanged.

Xi Meng glanced outside at the fine weather, then smiled faintly. She was very calm, then turned back to him: "If you’re scared, we can break up, don’t be nervous, you have the right to decide."

"What? What do you mean by that?"

Qiao Yi felt very uncomfortable, he even stopped the waiter from letting them order with a look.

He seemed to be smiling, yet it was somewhat awe-inspiring.

But Xi Meng wasn’t afraid of him. Having known him for so many years, she had long gotten used to his various moods.

"Aren’t you even more scared after coming out of my house? Are you afraid that I’ll force you to marry me, isn’t that so?"

Xi Meng looked at him and candidly exposed the truth, although her tone was still moderate.

Qiao Yi...

"Order!"

Seeing that he stopped talking and just looked at her, Xi Meng didn’t lose her appetite for food.

The waiter finally dared to come over and handed the menu to Xi Meng.

The two of them calmly had lunch.

Actually, it should be said that Xi Meng calmly had lunch, Qiao Yi didn’t eat a bite.

After lunch, Mu Yichen went to the office, so Qiao Yi also went.

Just as Mu Yichen had put away his coat, Qiao Yi asked him, "Why did you call Xi Meng?"

"Last night? Weren’t you the one clamoring for her to come to pick you up? Otherwise, you wouldn’t leave."

Mu Yichen sat down and casually reminded him.

Qiao Yi was stunned by these words; would he say such a thing?

"You don’t remember any of this?"

Mu Yichen asked very responsibly.

Qiao Yi didn’t say anything, just sat in the chair with his head down, truly hurt.

"But that’s not the point. The point is, why is Qin Mu named as the villainess in your WeChat?"

Qiao Yi, already heartbroken because of Xi Meng’s words, lifted his eyes blankly and looked at Mu Yichen: "What?"

"With your state, why don’t you go on a business trip? Maybe you will understand better after some time away."

"She said she wanted to get married before she turned thirty, just a few months left, and now I go on a business trip? Are you sure you’re my brother?"

"If you figure it out on the last day of the year, it might still work for you to go and register the marriage with her."

Mu Yichen felt that these kinds of matters don’t depend on where a person is.

"What if she thinks I have no feelings for her and just turns around and gets married?"

Qiao Yi asked.

"So are you saying, whether or not you can marry her, you still want to keep an eye on her first?"

Mu Yichen asked him, then couldn’t help laughing. These brothers indeed have the same domineering nature; when it comes to women they’re interested in, they have to keep them close no matter what.

Qiao Yi stayed silent, but he indeed wasn’t going to go on a business trip during this period.

"Yichen! I woke up at her house this morning and was genuinely startled."

Mu Yichen didn’t speak, just looked at Qiao Yi, who was bowing his head, smiling bitterly. Those words, naturally, were bitter.

"I think I can understand why Qin Mu initially didn’t want to make your marriage public, although it’s not because of my father or mother’s death, but I do indeed have a barrier towards marriage."

Mu Yichen...

Continuously talking about his wife like this, he really felt like punching Qiao Yi in the head.

"Get out!"

Mu Yichen told him softly, as it was the topic Mu Yichen least liked to hear people bring up.

Qiao Yi also saw the displeasure in his eyes, so he got up and left.

"Yichen, really don’t arrange any business trips for me during this time!"

Qiao Yi said as he opened the door and left.

But he thought leaving would be difficult, yet there was no one at Xi Meng’s usual spot, so it wasn’t difficult, but rather disheartening.

After he left, Mu Yichen was also a bit annoyed. Why suddenly bring up the past?

Did they think Qin Mu had let go?

Why did Qin Mu later still easily bring up breaking up with him?

Because she couldn’t let go; deep down, she was still in fear.

Perhaps even she thought she had moved on.

If it wasn’t for him hearing that she had gone to sit at her mother’s graveside alone one afternoon.

If she had really let go...

Helian Hao finally started working, and Qin Mu immediately went to find her in the afternoon.

Strangely enough, she was in a good mood, but her heart was beating irregularly, and she was distinctly feeling heavy chest discomfort.

Driving on the way to the hospital, Qin Mu’s heart felt like it was about to jump out.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the parking lot was already full, and she had waited a long time. Helian Hao came down to lead her to park the car in the medical parking lot.
