However, Helian Hao has always been outspoken, like when Qin Mu went to the Jing Family for the first ti and was ostracized; Helian Hao dared to stand up for her and fight back.
"Does Qin Mu have no personal freedom after marrying you? Jing Feng, don’t learn from Mu Yichen."
Helian Hao asked Mu Yichen, then turned to her husband.
"But you said you almost got into a car accident, and it’s a faraway place. I don’t suggest that you go without consulting first."
Jing Feng spoke to Helian Hao gently.
"I’ll rember to inform you in the future, always let you know I’m safe, okay?"
Qin Mu and Mu Yichen just quietly listened, at that mont, they both wanted to pretend they weren’t there.
Especially Qin Mu, as she wondered how Jing Feng could be so good-tempered, she couldn’t help but sigh.
However, her sigh seed to reach Mu Yichen’s ears, who turned to look at her.
Qin Mu, a bit scared, lifted her eyes briefly to et his gaze, then quickly lowered her head.
Qin Mu felt an imminent threat of being KO’d at any ti!
"But Mu Yichen, I truly think you should give Qin Mu more ti for herself. With you watching her every day, you don’t seem like her husband but more like her guardian."
After reaching an agreent with Jing Feng, Helian Hao began to critique Mu Yichen.
Mu Yichen...
Qin Mu...
"Say less!"
Jing Feng softly reminded.
"Why say less? We’re all family!"
Helian Hao blinked innocently.
Jing Feng...
Qin Mu dared not say much, only trying hard to suppress her laughter, thinking to herself how delightful it was. Mu Yichen actually got criticized so fiercely right in front of him, and didn’t even retort, hahaha.
"I am indeed not just a husband, but truly a guardian!"
Mu Yichen said coldly.
Jing Feng and Qin Mu kept their heads down, remaining silent, because they understood Mu Yichen’s temper the best.
Helian Hao, despite knowing, couldn’t help but criticize.
"Then if you’re her guardian, what does Uncle Qin count as? Moreover, if you’re Mumu’s guardian, how do you reckon your kids with Mumu then?"
Helian Hao was not convinced.
A silence fell in the private room until the staff ca to serve the dishes.
"Let’s eat first!"
Jing Feng said helplessly, quickly serving soup for Helian Hao, hoping to stop her from talking too much with food.
Qin Mu quietly lifted her gaze and noticed Mu Yichen’s expression was terribly grim, like he had eaten sothing awful.
Yet, he was restraining himself, using his ’good’ manners to keep his temper in check.
Well, that’s right, Mu Yichen generally doesn’t get angry at others.
And given his relationship with Helian Hao, he not only restrains his anger facially but also verbally, and even can’t retaliate later after leaving.
That’s also why Helian Hao feels free to criticize him.
Mu Yichen just felt, now isn’t like when he first returned to the country, when Helian Hao, due to unfamiliarity, wouldn’t speak freely.
But now...
Qin Mu quietly served herself soup, deciding to say nothing throughout this al.
But because she said nothing, on their way ho after the al, Mu Yichen drove like a madman. The food she had eaten felt overwhelming, and his intense driving nearly made her throw up.
When they were almost ho, he finally slowed down, but his face was still cold.
Qin Mu thought, surely he can’t maintain that expression at ho; otherwise, the elders will worry they’ve had a fight.
"Xiaohao’s question is indeed problematic, don’t be mad at her."
" mad at her? Do I have to? But you, Mrs. Mu, knowing her questions were problematic, why didn’t you speak up at the ti? Hmm?"
As Mu Yichen slowly turned the car into their driveway, he didn’t forget to give her a cold glance.
Qin Mu’s heart raced, regretting she had spoken.
Mu Yichen sighed with frustration repeatedly, and Qin Mu curled up in the passenger seat, not daring to move an inch.
Once out of the car, Mu Yichen slamd the door and strode into the house, while Qin Mu stood aside, watching his tall figure get further away from her, feeling a bitter chill behind and an even colder chill ahead.
Should she follow or escape?
Following ans risking injury.
But not following? Where else could she go?
Leaving would only make things worse, so she steeled herself and chased after him.
The elders were sitting on the sofa, watching TV and chatting, while the kids had already gone to sleep.
