This hotel, positioned as high-end and primarily for business banquets, wasn't crowded. With the dim lighting, Qin Mu and Tian Weiwei leaned against a large stone pillar, lost in their intimate moment.
Qin Mu admitted that the atmosphere in this setting was indeed extraordinary.
"Did you already know about those nights?"
A few minutes later, almost suffocating, Tian Weiwei stopped, panting heavily, and looked at Qin Mu, who was so close to her, asking in a low voice.
"I'm a normal person, how could I not have felt anything?"
Qin Mu smiled helplessly and said softly.
Just as expected!
Tian Weiwei knew this would be the result. Those nights, Qin Mu had indeed been very quiet, as if he knew nothing. But thinking about it carefully, with all the commotion she and Zhao Yanan had caused, even if Qin Mu was completely drunk, it was impossible for him to be completely unaware.
There was only one possibility: Qin Mu was faking it!
"You've been putting on an act all along, you're so mean."
Tian Weiwei rolled her eyes, somewhat disgruntled.
Me, mean?
Qin Mu was even more annoyed, saying, "It was clearly the two of you who had bad intentions and attacked me first. Can't I just pretend I don't hear?"
"If everything is laid bare, what's the point?"
That made sense, but Tian Weiwei still felt something was off. After all, Qin Mu had benefited and gained a good reputation.
This kid, how come he never suffers a loss?
"I didn't realize you were so cunning."
Tian Weiwei snorted in dissatisfaction, saying, "Be careful, or I'll go back and tell Ya Nan your true colors."
"You think I'd worry about that?"
Qin Mu couldn't help but laugh, whispering, "Didn't you see President Chen off? Why are you still here?"
"Waiting for me?"
Nonsense!
Does that even need to be said?
Tian Weiwei muttered to herself, but outwardly said, "Who's waiting for you? Chen Xi has a car, no need to drive. I just wanted to see how your investment promotion results were!"
Is that so?
Not waiting for me?
Qin Mu smiled, about to say something, when Xu Lu, Han Ying, and the others from inside the hotel came out.
"County Chief Qin!"
This shout startled Qin Mu. Tian Weiwei had already darted behind a stone pillar.
"Are you all finished?"
Qin Mu quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, we've paid the bill and taken everything."
Xu Lu nodded and said, "County Chief, shall we go back to the hotel and discuss tomorrow's arrangements?"
"Here's what we'll do: you all go back and plan your itinerary first, then send me a copy later."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't thought things through yet, so I might be back a little later. After you've made your arrangements, get some rest. Tomorrow's situation depends on Director Wan…"
"Aren't you going back?"
Xu Lu asked, puzzled, "It's quite a distance from here to the hotel. Why don't you come with us…?"
"It's alright, I know the way. You all go back first!"
Qin Mu waved his hand slightly, insisting.
Is that so?
Although Xu Lu and Han Ying didn't understand, they could only comply with their leader's orders.
"County Chief Qin, please be careful while you're out alone. Contact us if anything happens."
Han Ying gave a word of advice before following Xu Lu and the others to the hotel by car.
"I never expected our County Chief Qin to lie to his subordinates, saying he hadn't thought things through. Such a lame excuse... umm..."
Tian Weiwei overheard the whole thing. Now that the others had left, she stepped forward and jokingly mocked Qin Mu.
But her laughter quickly vanished!
Qin Mu had covered her mouth, leaving her only able to make soft moaning sounds.
"Huff...no...someone...I...we're going...to the hotel!"
She didn't know how much time had passed; Tian Weiwei felt like she was suffocating, but the footsteps and voices around her jolted her awake, and she quickly pushed Qin Mu away.
Although the environment was unusual, Qin Mu's position was sensitive—a public official, and a leader at that. For him to do *that* with a businesswoman like her in this place...if someone took pictures and leaked them, it would definitely have a bad impact.
"Are you scared?"
Qin Mu looked at the still-shaken expression on Tian Weiwei's face, chuckled, and asked.
"What am I afraid of? I don't want you to let being with me affect your career."
Tian Weiwei rolled her eyes, lightly poking Qin Mu's chest with her finger, and couldn't help but say, "Weren't you always so calm and restrained before? How come you're suddenly like a bull, completely out of control?"
"You weren't like this before."
After all, she had met Qin Mu many times with Zhao Yanan, and he had always presented an image of composure, confidence, and restraint.
But today, there was no restraint whatsoever; he was clearly like a wild horse. Tian Weiwei had to use all her strength to push Qin Mu away.
What?
You don't like it when I take the initiative?
Qin Mu was also somewhat helpless. He really couldn't understand these women's minds.
Could it be that Tian Weiwei liked the feeling of doing things secretly and privately?
"If you don't like it, I can change it back."
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said seriously, "I can still be polite to you like before, how about that?"
"No…"
"Why are you so easily teased?"
Tian Weiwei immediately panicked and quickly changed her tune. She was joking; meeting a man like Qin Mu, and even having something going on, was already extremely rare. If she lost him like this, wouldn't she be devastated?
"Someone's here, let's go!"
A group of people came out of the restaurant. Tian Weiwei grabbed Qin Mu's hand and pulled him into her car, starting the engine and driving into a nearby hotel.
Qin Mu didn't say a word the whole time. Led by the group, he went upstairs and into a room.
Once they entered the room, things completely spiraled out of control.
With no outside interference, it became entirely Qin Mu and Tian Weiwei's domain.
"The… the curtains…"
Tian Weiwei truly felt the wildness of this man. The person who had been so restrained before was now completely different once he let loose.
He rushed in without even turning on the lights!
Even though it's late at night, shouldn't he have some privacy?
Qin Mu couldn't wait any longer. He scooped Tian Weiwei into his arms, walked to the window, drew the curtains, and then tossed her onto the bed.
"So...savage!"
Tian Weiwei muttered softly, looking at Qin Mu's tall figure, a strange feeling rising within her.
This unprecedented feeling made Tian Weiwei somewhat intoxicated.
After all, she was a strong woman on the outside, but deep down, she also wanted to be a gentle woman. And in front of the powerful Qin Mu, she could completely be a vulnerable little woman...
