Chapter 85: Bad Love Comes

Yu Ming: Brother Qin Mu! Keep an eye on your Gu Chuyue! He doesn't listen in class! He's only learning crooked ways! He's a bad influence!

【Yu Ming】: [Let’s take him in.gif]

A few seconds later, Qin Mu replied.

[Brother Qin Mu]: What did he do to you?

[Qin Muge]: Come over for dinner this weekend? I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make you sweet and sour spare ribs and fried chicken.

Qi Yuming looked at the screen and felt even more frustrated.

Well, there’s no point in complaining!

The wife never asks her husband about his faults!

Qi Yuming was furious, clacking away on his keyboard: [I'm here, Brother Qin Mu. (Smile) (Smile)]

In a private restaurant not far from the gate of Beijing University, Gu Chuyue and Qi Yuming packed up several exquisite dishes.

Qi Yuming was still nagging about what had just happened, and bitterly criticized Gu Chuyue for being "in the late stage of love brain and there was no hope of recovery."

Gu Chuyue completely blocked out his noise, all his thoughts focused on Qin Mu.

As soon as Qi Yuming returned to the dormitory and put down the lunch box, Gu Chuyue couldn't wait to call Qin Mu on video.

The phone was picked up almost instantly, and Qin Mu's figure appeared on the other side of the screen.

He seemed to be in a private room in a high-end restaurant, with elegant decorations and huge floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, and the bustling city skyline outside the window.

He was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, no tie, and his shirt collar was slightly open, revealing a small part of his collarbone. He was looking down at the documents, and the profile of his face looked particularly superior in the soft light.

"Wife." Gu Chuyue's voice softened several degrees in an instant.

The coldness and aloofness he had shown towards Qi Yuming just now disappeared without a trace, his eyes glued to the screen, "Have you eaten yet?"

Qin Mu raised his head and saw Gu Chuyue on the screen. The corners of his lips curved into a gentle arc. "Not yet. We've just finished discussing part of it. We can sign it after they confirm a few details."

He noticed the dormitory environment in Gu Chuyue's background and asked, "Have you and Yu Ming eaten yet?"

"I'm back from packing." Gu Chuyue said, his eyes carefully tracing Qin Mu's face, not missing any trace of fatigue. "How long will you be there? Don't forget to eat on time, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"I know, little housekeeper." Qin Mu chuckled, his tone showing obvious indulgence. "There's still a little left. Let's eat it after we finish it."

He paused, as if remembering something, his eyes teasing, "Why? Are you checking in so closely?"

Gu Chuyue uttered a righteous "hmm," not thinking there was anything wrong with it at all: "Who made my wife so beautiful? It's easy for someone to notice her."

Qin Mu was amused by his straightforward and sticky words. Just as he was about to say something, a gentle male voice suddenly came from the other side of the screen, approaching from a distance:

"Qin? You're still busy, as expected. I guessed you hadn't eaten yet."

At the edge of the camera, a man wearing a sophisticated camel-colored cashmere sweater and with an elegant temperament walked over and naturally stood at the seat next to Qin Mu. His arm seemed to be casually placed on the back of Qin Mu's chair, forming a slightly possessive gesture.

His eyes fell on Qin Mu, and he smiled appropriately, but his eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

"Mr. Li?" Qin Mu looked up with a hint of surprise, then stood up inadvertently and kept some distance.

"I heard from your representative that you have something to do, so why did you ask the project leader, Manager Wang, to come over today?"

"Things went better than expected, so I came here." The man's smile deepened, and his eyes swept over the contract in front of Qin Mu.

"Since the contract hasn't been signed yet, why don't we have dinner first? I've asked the chef to prepare that white truffle pasta you raved about last time. Can we chat while we eat?"

His invitation was natural and thoughtful, as if it was simply out of concern for his partners.

Qin Hu hesitated for a moment, but the other party was so enthusiastic and was an important partner that he couldn't directly reject the other party's face.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay. Thank you for your help."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Li Minghan's smile became more gentle, and he even glanced at the direction of Qin Mu's mobile phone screen as if unintentionally.

Although the specific content could not be seen clearly, there seemed to be a very faint and clear provocation in the eyes.

"Chu Yue, then I'll..." Qin Mu turned to the screen without finishing his words.

"Well, go ahead." Gu Chuyue's voice was emotionless, even calmer than usual. "Remember to eat."

The call was hung up abruptly.

The moment the screen went black, the air in the dormitory seemed to suddenly drop to freezing point.

Qi Yuming was just breaking open a pair of disposable chopsticks and witnessed the entire process, especially the sudden darkening and coldness of Gu Chuyue's face, as if poisoned, and the eerily calm, "Well, go ahead" at the end. He was so frightened that he nearly dropped his chopsticks on the table.

Holy crap?! How fast does his expression change?!

One second he was clinging to his wife and was in love, but the next second his eyes... why did they look like he wanted to kill someone?

Gu Chuyue didn't say anything, but just threw the phone on the table, making a light "pop" sound.

The low pressure emanating from his body almost solidified into substance. He stared at the black screen with a sinister look in his eyes. His jawline was extremely tense, his fingers curled up unconsciously, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Qi Yuming swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously with a tone that was a bit gloating but also a bit really scared:

"...Is this why you watch those emotional videos about 'how to deal with bad love affairs' and 'how to attract your wife's attention'?"

Gu Chuyue slowly raised his eyes, and his eyes were so cold that Qi Yuming shuddered.

"His Chinese name is Li Minghan." Gu Chuyue's voice was low and cold, each word sounding like it had been fished out of an ice cellar. "He's the new president of the Asia-Pacific region of EW Group in Country D. My wife met him three months ago when she went to Munich to discuss technology introduction."

Qi Yuming was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew about EW Group, which was a top industrial giant in Country D and very powerful.

Being able to cooperate with a group of this level is an important expansion for Qin's.

"Then what?" Qi Yuming's curiosity was aroused.

"And then?" Gu Chuyue pulled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a cold smile. "The project was negotiated, and we became close. At first, we kept in touch frequently to discuss the details of the cooperation. Later, we 'happened' to be in the same city, 'dropped by' to visit, 'randomly met' in a restaurant..."

Gu Chuyue's eyes grew colder and colder: "His methods are brilliant, he's considerate, he never crosses the line, and he always maintains just the right distance and demeanor."

He paused, his voice tinged with venom, "My wife thinks he's professional and tasteful, a rare and high-quality partner."

Bitch!

shameless.

Qi Yuming was stunned when he heard this: "...Damn! This level is high!"

The subtle, aggressive temptation and coveting between men.

His wife has always been slow to react, but Gu Chuyue could smell the disgusting odor through the screen.
