"Good night, young master and young mistress."
The aunt greeted them and left, leaving only the sound of the television in the living room. Qin Mu had been sitting beside him the whole time but never disturbed him while he watched the news.
"Heaven is fair after all,"
Mu Yichen suddenly remarked, his eyes shining like stars.
Qin Mu turned to look at him and listened as he continued, "If you are not good to me, there will naturally be someone to make sure you don’t have it easy either."
He picked up the remote, turned off the TV, then stood up, his eyes low as he looked at her sitting on the sofa.
"Any other questions?" he asked.
In this silent space, his voice was both indifferent and haughty.
Qin Mu stood up, leading the way without much thought.
In fact, Qin Mu hadn’t slept well in the early part of the night, but she quietly left bed after he had fallen asleep and sneaked into her daughter’s room.
Now finally able to cuddle with her daughter, she felt a secret joy, watching as her daughter quickly fell asleep unconsciously.
It was as if she had once again become a child with a home.
In her dreams, she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.
Therefore, Yichen became exceedingly irritable the next morning when he couldn’t find his woman.
Feeling uneasy when he couldn’t touch her, he opened his eyes to find her side of the bed empty, though her cell phone was still on the nightstand, so...
He almost immediately guessed she had gone to see Huanhuan, but he didn’t know when she had left. Since her side of the bed was cold, that meant she had been gone for quite some time.
This woman, allowed to return, had started to be restless by his side.
Later, Mrs. Mu was dragged back by him and threatened.
Sigh, the person being tormented early in the morning is actually quite happy, but also a bit anxious.
Because breakfast was at eight and it was already past seven, she was afraid Yichen would delay, yet she dared not openly urge him to hurry.
"Give Mrs. Feng another surprise, and she’ll have no time to scold you again."
"Give her a grandson."
Mrs. Mu believed that having a child was something that needed deep consideration.
"Maybe we can talk about it later?"
But in the heat of the moment, it was really not easy to broach the subject carefully, so she suggested.
President Mu didn’t say anything else and simply put on the last condom from the drawer.
However, he suddenly noticed the texture of the condom wrapper felt a bit abrasive, as if...
He didn’t inspect it closely, fearing she’d become suspicious, so he quickly unwrapped it and used it.
Those who do something they feel guilty about often become paranoid, but Yichen...
All day, he felt his heartbeat racing, and he would think of it during meetings and meals.
Always afraid she’d notice something amiss.
Qiao Yi and his secretary joined him for lunch and noticed he seemed off, so they couldn’t help but ask him, "Did you overdo it last night again?"
Mu Yichen looked up at him when he heard the question and didn’t understand at first, but after Qiao Yi blinked, he retorted, "Do you think I overdo it as easily as you do?"
The secretary, Ms. Xi, sitting between them, felt immense pressure and hardly dared to lift her head.
"Ms. Xi, does your boyfriend overdo it?"
"My ex-boyfriend? I’ve forgotten!"
Ms. Xi could no longer clearly remember the past, barely recalling that man’s eyes.
Qiao Yi didn’t expect such an answer and laughed involuntarily, shifting the focus to her: "Honestly, you’ve been at the company for years and I haven’t seen you with any man. Are you not interested in men?"
"This seems unrelated to Qiao Tezhu, right?"
Although Ms. Xi’s voice was still suppressed, it was evident she wasn’t pleased with being questioned by a man in such a manner.
Mu Yichen, seeing Qiao Yi’s smug expression, couldn’t help but sigh softly and returned to his meal, sending a message to his woman.
Left out in the cold by Ms. Xi, Qiao Yi sought compensation from President Mu: "I heard that the Jing Family’s old master visited your hotel yesterday, and he was there to see you."
Mu Yichen responded while texting Mrs. Mu, not finding this matter too sensitive to discuss.
Ms. Xi couldn’t help but perk up her ears, listening to the gossip while eating.
"But weren’t you and Xiaomu together yesterday? I heard the old master was helped out of the place. Was he upset by you or by Xiaomu?"
Mu Yichen said as he sent another message to Mrs. Mu: "Qiao Yi is really annoying."
Mrs. Mu replied: "He’s your brother."
"Still annoying!" Mu Yichen shot back.
Qiao Yi, completely oblivious to the couple’s exchange, kept asking since he knew he was messaging Mrs. Mu.
"You two? Does Xiaomu dare to talk back to the Jing Family’s old master?"
