"No wonder Qingxin likes you now, you’re always buying her this and that, even buying things for her husband and son. Who else is as silly as you?"
Feng Fanghua, after putting on the necklace, turned to her, touching the diamond necklace with imnse joy.
A daughter-in-law gifting her jewelry, it was more prideful to her than her husband’s gifts. Whenever she went out, she made sure to wear sothing gifted by Qin Mu, or clothes Qin Mu gave her, which she usually complained about at ho. Albeit she spoke ill of Qin Mu at ho, outside, this daughter-in-law was her treasure.
"I’m not silly at all. Money is ant to be spent, especially when I’m pleasing my own sister-in-law."
Qin Mu thought to herself, no amount of money mattered, as long as Mu Qingxin kept liking her.
Mu Yichen glanced at her, feeling a bit tender inside.
"Hum!"
Feng Fanghua chuckled, suddenly not caring about her issues with Mu Yichen.
Now it seed no one took her issues with Mu Yichen seriously. Qin Mu was so family-oriented, treating elders kindly, surely seeing herself as part of the Mu Family with no other intentions. And their beloved son, after throwing enough tantrums, would have to obediently cheer up his wife.
But Mu Yichen, isn’t one who enjoys cheering up his wife.
After dinner, Qin Mu took Huanhuan and Chengcheng to Chengcheng’s room to tell them stories.
Huanhuan listened intently till the end, sitting cross-legged on her brother’s bed, looking at Qin Mu for a while before suddenly saying, "Mom, today Dad was with an aunt!"
Qin Mu instinctively lowered her gaze to her, a bit startled, not expecting Huanhuan to tell her this.
"That aunt said she’s dad’s sister, mom, is it true?"
Huanhuan asked again, her eyes filled with uncertain doubt.
Qin Mu lightly laughed, raised her hand to touch her little head, "Yes!"
These two words were light yet certain.
Huanhuan trustingly responded "oh," even though she always felt that aunt didn’t seem like dad’s sister. Dad clearly only had Aunt Qingxin as a sister, so when did he get another sister? But if mom said it was true, then it must be!
"That aunt is very pretty!"
Chengcheng, sitting cross-legged beside, listened to his sister talking to mom, thought mom was being silly and couldn’t help but remind.
"Prettier than mom?"
Qin Mu disapprovingly looked at her son, her gaze still gentle, making Chengcheng suddenly quiet again.
That aunt was nowhere near as pretty as mom.
"Mom, brother and I will help keep an eye on dad, making sure he isn’t with other aunts!"
Huanhuan suddenly gave Qin Mu a big hug, making Qin Mu’s heart feel a bit uneasy.
Jing Qing was already in the past, Jing Qing herself had let go, so, why couldn’t she let go.
Speaking of it, Jing Qing loved Mu Yichen for so many years and endured quite a bit of suffering, didn’t she?
In this world, unrequited love is inherently painful.
But whose love is ever easy?
Qin Mu sighed. Once balanced, she told Huanhuan to go back to her room to sleep. She stayed with Chengcheng for a while, then returned to her room after Chengcheng slept.
anwhile, Mu Yichen was downstairs playing chess with Mu Zihao.
Mu Zihao, of course, intended to educate him, Mu Yichen listened earnestly.
"But, dad, everyone thinks I’m wrong, do you think so too?"
"You ought to have a bit of magnanimity. This matter, whether big or small, it’s like a crossroad. Choose east or west."
"I choose to go straight."
Mu Yichen took a step, speaking lightly.
"What if there’s no path ahead?"
Mu Zihao glanced at his son, blocking his path.
"Then I’ll make one!"
Mu Yichen moved another step.
Mu Zihao chuckled, seeing he’s about to lose, but to carve out a path, one needs to go through layers of obstacles...
Of course, soone like Mu Yichen who likes confronting challenges might not mind those obstacles, he cares more about the outco, Mu Zihao couldn’t convince him, so he gave up.
"I lost!"
Mu Zihao put down his chess piece, resigned.
Mu Yichen chuckled, "Your surrender was a bit early."
Mu Yichen noticed where his father could have blocked him again, but naturally, wouldn’t point it out.
"Yichen, sotis being blind is good, at least they can’t see..."
"Dad, your son isn’t blind, and regarding and Qin Mu’s issues, you, grandpa, and mom really shouldn’t worry too much. Live life as usual; tomorrow’s New Year!"
