Mu Wan’s gaze froze for a mont. Looking at Qin Mu’s solemn and serious expression, she instinctively nodded her head.
"Alright... I’m free now."
Mu Wan curled up her body, then sat up straight... Her gaze fell upon the man in front of her. Monts later, the man’s deep, magnetic voice echoed.
"Lula said that you... haven’t had any prior sexual experience, so if you want to proceed with the IVF treatnt, the instrunts will need to directly penetrate... hmm, that layer of mbrane."
Mu Wan: "..."
Mu Wan’s face turned pale.
"Mu Wan, I know that apart from yourself, the person you care about the most is Aunt Mu. Hmm... I’ve sent soone to purchase a property for Aunt Mu, set up a pension plan, and arranged for personal maids, bodyguards, and caretakers to ensure Aunt Mu’s later years will not be troubled by people like Wang Xue and Wu Jingjing."
Mu Wan: "..."
So... is Qin Mu trying to tempt her?
First a slap, then a sweet reward?
Mu Wan’s face grew even paler, and after a long while, she struggled to speak: "Qin Mu, what you an is... you want to continue with the IVF treatnt, right?"
One step at a ti, Mu Wan quickly pieced together Qin Mu’s logic and asked hoarsely.
Qin Mu narrowed his dark eyes, his gaze fixed on the pale-faced woman before him... His large hand clenched slightly.
"That’s right... So, Aunt Mu’s property is my compensation to you. Of course, if you feel it’s not enough, hmm, I can add more... Like a blank check, you can fill in any number."
Mu Wan: "..."
The last ti Jian Ran gave her two checks worth a million each, she still hadn’t spent them.
She had even been thinking about finding the right ti to return them.
And now... Qin Mu was offering her more.
Mu Wan’s small hand clenched tightly, trying to say sothing, only to find... she couldn’t utter a single word.
Qin Mu treating her like a stranger was one thing.
But now, it seed the man didn’t even have the barest shred of compassion for her...
Mu Wan thought to herself, after all these years of unrequited love, she had failed terribly.
Qin Mu watched the dazed and devastated expression of the woman in front of him and pursed his lips.
"Mu Wan, back then... it was you who wanted to marry ... So, there’s always a trade-off. Whatever compensation I can give you, I’ll do my best. Having a child is a mutual safeguard for both of us."
Mu Wan: "..."
Qin Mu had truly reminded her of this point more than once.
Back then... it was she who wanted to marry him.
In her mind, Mu Wan saw a fleeting image of the old man kneeling in front of her and the image of herself gazing at Qin Mu’s distant silhouette for years.
After a long silence... Mu Wan murmured softly, "Qin Mu... You’d rather have an instrunt touch than touch yourself, wouldn’t you?"
Qin Mu: "..."
Qin Mu’s thin lips pursed slightly at the woman’s accusation. Indeed... He wasn’t ready for intimate contact with another woman yet.
But the old man’s urgent demand for a great-grandchild weighed heavily on him.
The woman he had held in his heart for years... During the wedding, he had silently warned himself in his heart.
That his love for her must end here.
Now... With another woman, engaging in intimate matters.
He truly couldn’t bring himself to do it...
He couldn’t get past that ntal hurdle.
After a long while... Qin Mu finally spoke, "I’m sorry."
Mu Wan lowered her delicate gaze, tears streaming down her face and falling heavily onto the back of her hand, smudging in blurred patterns because of his apology.
Hmm... He gave his love to Jian Ran, and his apology to her.
