CHAPTER 1024: I AM TRULY JEALOUS OF THAT MAN TO THE POINT OF MADNESS.

The driver had been watching for ten minutes, thinking the car behind them was trying to find the way. He moved over a few times but realized the car never overtook them, causing suspicion.

AD and Jian Yan glanced back. Jian Yan didn’t recognize whose car it was, naturally assuming AD didn’t know either. In Rongcheng, if Jian Yan was unfamiliar, then AD would be even more of a stranger.

"It’s her!"

AD turned her head, remaining composed and steady.

Jian Yan lifted his eyes to look at her, not knowing who "her" referred to.

"Bian Jingwen!"

AD’s Chinese was extremely poor, but she could still manage to say the name Bian Jingwen.

Jian Yan instinctively lowered his gaze, then let out a faint smile.

"Should we shake her off?"

The driver asked casually.

"No need!"

Jian Yan calmly stared ahead. Regarding Bian Jingwen, he suddenly felt this girl wasn’t worth his apprentice’s effort.

Even if she won that competition without tricks, relying on her own skills, her suspicion and character couldn’t compare to his beloved apprentice.

What kind of person is Qin Mu? Someone whose world revolves around design and her own people; no other person or matter can penetrate her focus, let alone someone fixating so intensely.

Upon arriving at the Mu Family residence, the gate slowly opened. As the car drove in, it reduced speed, moving slowly along.

Qin Mu, Mu Yichen, and Huanhuan were waiting at the entrance.

Qin Mu and Huanhuan stood in the front while Mu Yichen leaned against the door behind them, casually glancing out.

Not knowing AD was coming, Qin Mu was startled seeing AD get out behind Jian Yan.

Mu Yichen, on the other hand, secretly chuckled before standing upright to greet them.

The driver got out of the car, took out the gifts Jian Yan bought halfway for Huanhuan and Chengcheng, and approached. AD exchanged polite greetings with Qin Mu and Mu Yichen, apologizing for coming unannounced, while Mu Yichen and Qin Mu assured it was no problem. Mu Yichen, in particular, was genuinely okay with it and even delighted.

Jian Yan stood on the side, watching their polite exchanges, and lowered his gaze to notice the little girl he hadn’t seen for a long time had grown so tall, though her large eyes were still as clear as before.

Jian Yan’s lips instinctively curled slightly, causing Huanhuan to shyly hide behind her mother’s pant leg.

Qin Mu then remembered something, looked down, and helplessly smiled, "Huanhuan, don’t you recognize JY?"

Huanhuan emerged from behind Qin Mu, still shy yet smiling, and greeted him, "JY, long time no see!"

Neither uncle nor daddy, but JY!

Jian Yan felt slightly unaccustomed, his brows furrowing slightly but he still smiled, "Hello! Come to JY!"

Obediently, Huanhuan walked towards him. Jian Yan crouched down and picked her up, with Huanhuan shyly nestled against him, her little cheeks bright red.

Watching from the side, Qin Mu couldn’t help but twitch her brows, thinking how this little girl was acting like a lovesick teenager.

AD couldn’t help but smile slightly too, though her gaze showed a lack of approval for the closeness between them.

Despite Huanhuan’s shyness, Jian Yan seemed unaffected; he adored Huanhuan from the moment she was born.

"Let’s talk inside!

Seeing AD’s discomfort, Qin Mu suddenly realized they’ve been standing outside too long in the chilly autumn weather.

AD nodded and followed Mu Yichen inside. Qin Mu instinctively glanced at Jian Yan, "Why did she come?"

"Years ago she took medicine from the Mu Family, so upon hearing I was coming, she tagged along, saying she wants to thank your father-in-law."

Qin Mu...

But moments later, Qin Mu cheered up.

Mu Zihao had been contemplating shutting down the pharmaceutical factory recently; maybe AD’s conversation could reinforce Mu Zihao’s decision to keep it open.

Not only do Mu Zihao and Feng Fanghua feel connected to the factory, but Mu Yichen and Mu Qingxin are also determined to preserve it.

Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao didn’t expect more guests, and upon seeing the blond-haired AD walking in with their son, they reflexively stood up.

AD’s politeness towards them was starkly different from how she greeted Qin Mu, smiling more cordially.

When Qin Mu walked in and saw AD’s smile, she almost doubted her own senses.

Thankfully, the family’s English skills were quite decent, even Huanhuan’s seemed good enough as she understood some simple exchanges.

As everyone sat down, still exchanging pleasantries, Huanhuan remained sprawled on Jian Yan’s lap, showing no intention of leaving. Mu Yichen sat to the side, noticing his daughter seemed to cling to Jian Yan like she wished to grow onto him, behaving like this whenever she saw Jian Yan.
