Chapter 502: Being Jealous of a Woman

At night, Hu Xiner lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Qing asked gently.

They have already told everyone in the Lu family about renting a new courtyard, and no one has any objections.

Hu Xin'er's face was filled with anguish. "Tell me, why did Miss Du come here to remind us today?"

"Didn't Zhao Si say that Miss Du hated him, so she came to stop him from selling the yard every time?" Mu Qing asked back.

"That makes sense." Hu Xin'er's brows didn't relax. "But I always feel that Miss Du shouldn't be that kind of person."

Mu Qing moved closer and looked at her intently: "Because Miss Du is prettier than you imagined?"

"For this reason, I don't think she has the temperament of someone who would do bad things, nor is she as unruly as the eldest princess. Instead, she is like my aunt, with a bit of chivalry in her." Hu Xiner thought carefully for a long time and answered very honestly.

Mu Qing didn't have a good opinion of Miss Du: "She is as frivolous as Zhao Si, and I don't like either of them."

Hu Xin'er also asked back, "Is it because she teased me?"

Mu Qing was silent for a moment: "I always feel that she is far from being as innocent and enthusiastic as she appears to be."

That's true. Why did Miss Du only remind them for no reason?

"Do you think it's because she has taken a fancy to Yun Jue that she is giving us special care?" Hu Xiner lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.

Mu Qing didn't think that face was attractive, so he frowned and didn't answer.

Hu Xin'er muttered to herself again, "But compared to Yun Jue, she should be more interested in you..."

"I have absolutely no affection for her." Mu Qing answered immediately, almost swearing to the heavens.

Hu Xin'er found it amusing, yet also comforted. "Why would I doubt you? I just thought that if Miss Du was really as lustful as the rumors say, then her special treatment of us would make sense."

After all, the Lu family members are all very good-looking.

Mu Qing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he asked, "Why did you agree to partner with Zhao Si today?"

These words touched the point of worry in Hu Xiner's heart. She sighed leisurely, "I was worrying about this matter."

Mu Qing looked at her, wanting to hear what was making her so worried.

In fact, Hu Xiner agreed to Zhao Si's request in order to make money.

Although Zhao Si's character seems to have great flaws at present, he is indeed a genius in business.

She thought for a moment and said, "Although Zhao Si cheated us, he didn't have any bad intentions. He just wanted to help a friend. I think if I just help him run the shop for a month, nothing should go wrong. What do you think?"

Mu Qing said helplessly: "My wife has already spoken, what opinion can I have?"

"You won't be angry about this, will you?" Hu Xiner moved her body and raised her head to look at him.

Mu Qing deliberately put on a stern face: "So what if I'm angry? Can you still go and tell Zhao Si now that the contract won't be signed? Are you regretting it?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er, who always valued money, hesitated for a moment and said, "If you are really unhappy, I can tell Zhao Si that I regret it."

Hearing this, Mu Qing stared at her deeply and said, "For me, don't you even want to make money?"

Hu Xin'er snuggled into his arms: "I can't possibly let my child be without a father just to make money, right? That's not worth it."

She gently took Mu Qing's hand and placed it on her bulging belly. The little life inside was sleeping soundly, rising and falling with her breathing.

In an instant, Mu Qing's eyebrows softened unspeakably.

The couple lay quietly in the bed, feeling each other's breath.

"It seems that after having a baby, daddy's status has also risen?" Mu Qing suddenly joked.

Hu Xin'er glared at him: "You're talking nonsense. You've always been number one in my heart."

"Really?" Mu Qing showed disbelief on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.

Hu Xiner laughed: "But this person is actually jealous of women. It's really shocking."

"Who would be jealous of a woman?" Mu Qing felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that. He lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze, and his words were full of arrogance.

Hu Xin'er couldn't help but laugh secretly at his hypocritical attitude. She quipped, "Yeah, how could there be someone in the world so petty as to be jealous of a woman?"

Mu Qing pursed his lips and stopped talking, his expression indifferent as if he had never been jealous.

After a while, Hu Xin'er was already drowsy when she suddenly heard him say, "That Miss Du is promiscuous, she doesn't look like a good person."

She couldn't help laughing out loud, and when Mu Qing saw that she was not asleep, his face immediately froze.

He blew out the candle, and in the darkness only the breathing of two people remained.

The moonlight quietly sprinkled outside the window and sneaked in through the gaps in the wooden window.

Hu Xin'er nestled in his arms and suddenly opened her eyes: "I suddenly came up with a brilliant idea!"

"What idea?" Mu Qing was woken up by her just as he closed his eyes.

Hu Xin'er's thoughts were flooding in at this moment: "Didn't I already agree to partner with Zhao Si? But the products in his pirated comic shop are really too low quality..."

As the saying goes, it is difficult to reverse a bad situation, and it is difficult to restore a bad reputation.

Mu Xin Comics Shop is now in such an embarrassing situation, and the worst thing is that although it is a store that has been open for a long time, due to its own reasons, it does not have a good location and popularity, nor does it have loyal fans and readers.

It can be said that there is nothing except the bad reputation.

How could such a comic book shop be revived? This was indeed a huge challenge for Hu Xin'er.

When she was running her own comic book store, she usually chose to publish new books to consolidate her reputation and popularity.

But now she is pregnant and has so many things to do, how can she have the time to create new comics?

Moreover, it takes a long time to create a comic book. Putting aside Hu Xiner's cost and effort, can Zhao Si, with his eagerness for quick success, wait so long?

But don’t wait and get angry with Hu Xiner, right?

Even if we take a step back, it would be an insult if the new comics were to be run by a cunning guy like him.

Therefore, the idea of ​​restoring reputation and popularity by creating new comics was first rejected by Hu Xin'er.

The solution she came up with now is...

"I've decided to return to my old business and put Mu Xin Comics Shop's advertisements all over Qingzhou. And I guarantee that with just a few simple steps, I can turn the shop around!"

Hu Xiner became more and more excited as she spoke.
