Huanhuan looked up to Qin Mu with a smile, and even reached out to touch Qin Mu’s cheek, her innocent and brilliant eyes seemed to say, "Mommy, you’re so silly!"
"Huanhuan, why does Mommy feel like you’re looking down on Mommy?"
She was really hurt by her daughter’s harmless smile.
It seemed that ever since they had Daddy, her daughter wasn’t as clingy to her, and often looked at her with the eyes reserved for an idiot.
"Baby, do you love Mommy more, or do you love Daddy more?"
Qin Mu leaned in and lay next to her daughter, looking up with serious eyes as she coaxed her daughter.
"Huanhuan loves Daddy!"
Huanhuan thought seriously, then after speaking, she hugged her tablet and ignored Mommy.
As if struck by a sword in the heart, Qin Mu clutched her chest and pretended to be hurt as she fell to the side, but then she immediately sat up and mussed her daughter’s little cheeks: "Do you still love Mommy or not?"
Yet Huanhuan, amused by her actions, raised her hand to cover her mouth and laughed heartily.
"Ever since you came here, you’ve been spending all your time with your Daddy, completely abandoning Mommy. He doesn’t even see you as his own daughter."
The more Qin Mu thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, but seeing that Huanhuan already managed to hold back her laughter made her realize she might have spoken too profoundly and she immediately shut her mouth to let Huanhuan continue watching her "Frog Prince."
Later, after the guests had left, Feng Fanghua came upstairs and knocked on the door. Qin Mu sprang up from the bed and stood obediently by the side: "Auntie!"
"Why are you so nervous? I came to see my granddaughter, not to find you."
Feng Fanghua looked at her with such disdain, and Qin Mu could see it clearly; Feng Fanghua didn’t even need to say anything for Qin Mu to understand her meaning.
"Huanhuan, do you want to go play with Grandma and Grandpa? A grandpa just brought some delicious treats for you."
As soon as Huanhuan heard about delicious treats, she immediately hugged her tablet and got up from the bed.
Feng Fanghua stepped forward to carry her away, and Qin Mu watched helplessly as her daughter was taken from her.
Just as she was about to go back to her room, she saw Mu Yichen coming out of the study, his profound gaze making her feel uneasy. She couldn’t help but ask him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mu Yichen didn’t respond but walked over, hooked his arm around her neck, and dragged her inside.
Although he wouldn’t hurt her, it still made her involuntarily cough twice.
Qin Mu felt he was too rough, not gentle at all.
By the bed, he raised his hand to remove her coat: "When it’s just the two of us, you can wear less."
Then the two of them were piled on the bed, and President Mu looked at the woman beneath him with a wicked gleam in his eyes: "Do you know why the person who just left came?"
"To ask Uncle and Auntie for a favor?"
"They came to inquire about our marriage!"
"On the surface, they were here to bring gifts and visit, but in reality, they’re afraid they won’t get an invitation to our wedding."
"Lately, you and Huanhuan seem to be getting along very well, huh!"
Qin Mu quickly changed the subject, feeling that if she let him continue, the conversation would again turn towards marriage.
"Mrs. Mu, how exactly can you trust me?"
Qin Mu subconsciously looked at him, knowing that changing the subject was useless against him.
"How about we tell Mom and Dad first? I always feel awkward hearing you call them Uncle and Auntie."
"How about this, let me announce that we’ve already registered our marriage, or tell Mom and Dad first, you choose."
Qin Mu was truly startled, either/or?
She would definitely choose to tell Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao.
But something was off, wasn’t it?
Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap again?
He was so seemingly generous in offering her two options!
So righteous and magnanimous!
But why did she always feel something wasn’t quite right?
Was it because she had to start calling them Mom and Dad?
Lost in thought, Qin Mu was suddenly brought back to reality when someone bit her collarbone hard, making her look up at the man on top of her: "Mu Yichen, what are you doing?"
"I’ve been on pins and needles for you today, don’t you think it’s only fair to let me have my fun first?"
"I don’t need your beautiful back."
He bit her skin and murmured in her ear, finding his pleasure before she could even come to her senses.
Thus, very soon Qin Mu forgot the matter he had brought up until the next morning.
The entire Mu Family seemed bathed in sunshine, the mansion no longer as bleak and noiseless as it once was, truly gaining a sense of liveliness and warmth.
In the clean European-style living room, the family was called together by the butler, from the servants to the elders.
Mu Yichen specially found a dignified long dress for Qin Mu to wear before he embraced her and went downstairs.
