Mu Yichen didn’t say anything; he just silently served his wife some dishes.
Huanhuan saw Dad serving Mom dishes, took a spoonful of rice, stepped on the stool support, and leaned in to bring it to Feng Fanghua’s face for her to eat.
Feng Fanghua turned her head to watch her granddaughter’s small gesture and couldn’t help but feel moved to tears.
"It’s our Little Huanhuan who loves Grandma the most."
Mu Yichen, proud of his daughter for being so good at pleasing Mrs. Feng, looked at Qin Mu, and Qin Mu was also very happy.
"Our little darling has grown so much taller since she returned; she will definitely not be shorter than your mom when she grows up."
Although Qin Mu was already quite tall, and since Mu Yichen was even taller, it went without saying that their daughter wouldn’t be too short, at least not shorter than Qin Mu.
"When we went out yesterday, someone said that if a girl grows too tall, it’s not easy for her to find a husband. But I see that each of you has done quite well, haven’t you?"
Feng Fanghua said this while looking at Qin Mu.
Was that a compliment on her ability to find a man?
"How can height determine whether a person marries well or not? Besides, am I worried she won’t be able to marry?"
Mu Yichen thought it would be better if she didn’t marry.
He could support his daughter for a lifetime.
"Humph! That’s true, but you can’t just stop her from getting married, can you?"
Mu Yichen didn’t speak; he was only afraid that he wouldn’t be able to stop her when the time came.
"You have time to give your sister a call. She hasn’t been back for two Chinese New Years already."
Feng Fanghua suddenly remembered her younger daughter, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.
Speaking of Mu Qingxin, Qin Mu’s impression was very vague, but she also felt a bit scared at the thought of Mu Qingxin coming back. The girl was probably upset because her brother had been in Paris with another woman all this time; she probably wouldn’t show a good face to this woman.
That girl indeed deserved a scolding for not coming home for so long.
It was said that she was getting quite close to a rich second generation in South City, probably because of a romance.
Mu Yichen had in fact always been having someone keep him regularly updated on Mu Qingxin’s news, but recently, that girl seemed to have hidden herself away.
When he glanced inadvertently at Qin Mu and saw that she was earnestly eating the food in her bowl, he smiled reassuringly.
Although Mu Qingxin wasn’t here, Mrs. Mu was.
His greatest gain during this period was her!
And over there, the little girl who was trying to please their Grandma.
"Your grandpa isn’t at home tonight, so you should stay over," Feng Fanghua told Qin Mu gently after finishing her meal.
"What’s wrong? Don’t you want to take care of me?"
"Whether she wants to or not, I don’t know, but I don’t want to."
Huanhuan laughed, ran over to hug Grandma, expressing her willingness to sleep with Grandma.
That night, after Qin Mu and Mu Yichen put Huanhuan to sleep, they returned to their room, but just less than an hour after taking a bath and getting into bed, Mu Yichen was about to fall asleep when she got up.
"What are you doing?"
"I’m going to check on Auntie!"
He didn’t want her to go; it was so hard to finally sleep together in each other’s arms.
"How can I not? Her waist still hurts, and she has trouble moving."
"She would phone you if she needs help."
"I’ve already sent a message!"
Qin Mu spoke softly, and Mu Yichen laughed helplessly and let her go: "Come back soon."
Knowing that she might have to take care of her mother-in-law that night, she deliberately wore a conservative nightgown. She went to their room, gently knocked on the door, and Feng Fanghua happened to be getting up from the bed: "My back hurts a bit, help me to the bathroom."
Because it was night and everything was so quiet, she did everything quietly.
When mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were lying in bed later, Feng Fanghua wanted to act cool and ignore her, but maybe it was the loneliness of her daughter not being home for several years that made her long for more conversation with Qin Mu.
Plus, now the two of them were lying in the same bed.
Qin Mu was a bit uncomfortable sleeping in someone else’s bed, but she also didn’t dare to make any inappropriate movements, for fear of angering Feng Fanghua.
"The side you’re lying on is usually my place; don’t feel uncomfortable."
Feng Fanghua seemed to sense her discomfort and reassured her.
Qin Mu instinctively hummed in response, but dared not say anything else.
"You’re twenty-three this year, right? The same age as Qingxin."
"She’s never liked you since she was little. Now that you’re her sister-in-law, I’m afraid you’re going to have a tough time when she comes back."
