"Brother! Isn’t it the weekend today? Why did you co back so late?"
Mu Qingxin asked with her voice raised.
"What about you two? Why are you coming back from the hospital so late?"
"Hmm!"
Mu Yichen walked forward, stood beside the two of them, and watched them hugging each other affectionately just like real sisters, he couldn’t help but chuckle scornfully.
"Your sister-in-law went to see her father. What about you?"
"I went to see your father-in-law, of course."
Mu Yichen...
"Hehe! Let’s go, I’m starving!"
Mu Qingxin saw Mu Yichen’s serious face, imdiately wrapped her other arm around his, and then the three of them walked towards the house together.
After dinner, Mu Yichen went back to the room early with Qin Mu, took baths, and then embraced each other in bed, cherishing the mont.
Mu Yichen held her in his arms, played with her fingers, and quietly listened to her talk about visiting Qin Haiming at the hospital.
"That night I wanted to tell you sothing about your father. Do you want to hear it now?"
Mu Yichen asked her in a soft voice.
Qin Mu snuggled in his arms, thought for a good while, and then couldn’t help but sigh: "If all these years he had been asking you to look after , should I thank you or be grateful to him?"
"Even if he hadn’t said that, I would have been looking after you all the sa. I just want to tell you that he hasn’t been completely indifferent towards you."
Mu Yichen told her gently, caressing her head lightly with his hand.
"So, did he care about secretly, behind Zhang Rujia’s back, all these years?"
"Hmm!"
After hearing this, Qin Mu fell silent, suddenly at a loss for words, her eyelids drooping heavily.
The dim light of the floor lamp nearby, Qin Mu’s sighs, seed to reflect off the subdued glow.
"Because of a phone call from him, you returned to the country. Actually, at that ti, he had no intention of telling you about Zhang Rujia wanting to take your mother’s place in the Qin Family’s burial site. He never agreed to Zhang Rujia’s request."
Qin Mu’s eyes flickered slightly after hearing this, and she slowly looked up at Mu Yichen.
"It was I who, after learning about it from Jing Qing, asked him to do so."
Mu Yichen’s dark eyes tenderly gazed at her, calmly stating this.
Back then, he was indeed scheming against her, willing to use such a coercive thod to force her to co back.
At that ti, Mu Yichen felt that as long as she returned, whatever the reason, it was OK.
Of course, now, if she were to leave him, he would still use any ans necessary.
That’s precisely what Qin Mu is afraid of.
So at that mont, she beca exceptionally quiet, even her breathing was quietly suppressed.
But those conflict-free eyes kept gazing at him.
"You better not tell anymore, I’m afraid that I won’t develop feelings for him, and instead, you’ll just end up hurting again."
Qin Mu lowered her head, nudged against his chest, and stubbornly stopped him from continuing.
"Qin Mu, do you believe it? You can’t leave !"
Mu Yichen also lowered his head, though he couldn’t see her lashes clearly, he could feel her emotions at that mont.
"I can’t leave you, but don’t force ."
Qin Mu reminded him stubbornly, her voice growing fainter.
Mu Yichen did not respond to her, but his eyes clearly conveyed the ssage: How could I bear it? To keep forcing you, ti and again.
"Can I slowly change for the better?"
Mu Yichen asked her.
"Hmph!"
Qin Mu laughed forcefully, thinking to herself that if he could change, he would have done so long ago, why would it have taken so many years?
With his stubborn temperant from childhood, how could he change?
In the middle of the night, she couldn’t fall asleep, so she got up, sat stupefied, looking at the myriad stars outside the window.
Mu Yichen slept by her side, always searching for her figure.
When Qin Mu felt his hand reaching to embrace her again, she turned to look at him.
Love in this world, indeed, cos in countless forms.
Qin Mu felt that the love between her and Mu Yichen might be the most awkward, the most brutal.
However, she still loved him.
——
The next day, Qin Mu went to the studio and sat in the office for a long ti until soone called her, informing her that it was the person in charge of shooting an environntal protection advertisent.
Qin Mu rembered that Qin Hai had talked to her about this matter and imdiately exchanged polite greetings with the caller.
"If Miss Qin is available, we hope to et with you as soon as possible."
"Sure! You set the ti; I’m available anyti."
Qin Mu thought to herself that she would just wait respectfully.
Then she received another call, from Mu Yichen; she wondered why he was calling her when they had just parted for a few minutes.
"Co to my office!"
Mu Yichen seed a bit unhappy that she took so long to answer the phone but still addressed the business first.
Qin Mu had a thought flash through her mind, and then subconsciously raised her hand to touch her ear.
