Chapter 2055: Chapter 586: Into His Arms (2)
Mu Yichen has never liked using places that others have used, yet now, he sits so casually in this unfamiliar place he dislikes.
"By the way, how many years are between Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu? Mrs. Mu looks like an ungraduated college student. Her skin surpasses even my little sister who just turned twenty."
Jiu Nan pulls out a chair to sit next to Mu Yichen and asks again.
Mu Yichen is naturally pleased to hear someone praise his wife, but soon he becomes displeased again, worried that others might take an interest in his wife.
"If a woman’s skin is good despite her age, it must be due to a happy family and also, heaps of RMB applied to her face."
As the only woman present, Yang Qin has the most authority to speak on the matter.
"Really?"
Jiu Nan acts as though he doesn’t get it, yet he privately has no idea how many girlfriends he’s had or how many women he’s gifted expensive skincare products to.
Mu Yichen doesn’t object, because indeed his wife has a happy family. The following part he isn’t happy about, but he wouldn’t stoop to argue with a woman.
"Then how does Secretary Yang, with such a mature style, maintain her skin? I’ve heard Secretary Yang isn’t married yet, but her skin remains good!"
Jiu Nan turns with interest to Mu Yichen’s temporary secretary and asks.
"Me? I can’t compare with our boss’s wife. I just use normal skincare, but I’m curious how men like Mr. Jian could be so interested in skincare?"
Yang Qin doesn’t want to talk too much, especially since she sees Mu Yichen is not happy, so she appropriately guides the topic.
"You women always assume us men don’t care about beauty, which is a mistake. We men also want to glow so we can attract beautiful women."
Jiu Nan’s eyes seem to bloom with peach blossoms.
Yang Qin doesn’t know what to say and just smiles without responding.
"Mr. Mu, don’t you agree?"
Jiu Nan raises a hand on Mu Yichen’s shoulder.
Mu Yichen chuckles lightly: "Order the food!"
Though Jiu Nan finds him dull, he can’t help but provoke him. Qiao Yi and Zhao Huai accompany Jiu Nan’s secretary to order food, while Yang Qin serves tea and water.

Qin Mu and others have already started celebrating, a group together blessing Wang Li and Xiang Hang as a couple.
"Sister and brother-in-law, the sisters toast you, wishing you eternal unity and forever basking in love."
"And may you have two children within three years!"
The few girls burst into laughter as they speak, and after Qin Mu finishes her drink with the couple, she sits quietly watching the girls make a fuss.
The young crowd surprisingly has many ideas despite their age.
Xiang Hang, usually taciturn, probably finds this the most remarkable day in history, having faced so many enthusiastic girls he couldn’t refuse and kept drinking glass after glass.
"Be careful, you guys! It doesn’t matter if you get him drunk, but don’t let me catch any slip-ups this month, or else..."
Wang Li gestures, trying to intimidate.
The girls immediately behave, though not all are willing.
"Sister Li, on such a good day and you’re threatening us, don’t blame us for speaking ill of you in front of brother-in-law later!"
"Exactly! Don’t think you can bully us just because you’re our supervisor! Today, we’ll gang up and bully you two."
The girls are truly fearless. The reason they stay at JY is simple: their dormitory is a place they might never afford in this city even after a lifetime of struggle. So, they’d rather remain as ordinary employees in the store, harmoniously interacting with colleagues and striving to sell more clothes.
Now, they intend to fully tease their direct supervisor.
Qin Mu finds them adorable, unable to stop giggling.
Xiang Hang says: "You can make a fuss today, but any bad words about Wang Li, I won’t believe a single one."
Wang Li turns to look at him, shyly lowering her gaze and smiling. Last night was enjoyable, naturally today is even better. This morning, he was particularly energetic, quickly dressing while urging her to get ready as they headed to the civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate.
For the first time, Wang Li saw him rush into something like a careless young guy, and that something was their marriage—such an important event. At that moment, Wang Li’s heart settled down.
She thought that even if he doesn’t know how to love her, he certainly wouldn’t abandon her. Having someone to accompany her through life is already happiness itself.
