At noon, Qin Mu took a taxi back to the villa by herself. The old man was about to have lunch alone when he saw Qin Mu come back, looking at her in confusion and asking, "Why are you back?" "Where else can I go if not back? It’s inconvenient without the car at home." Qin Mu sat beside the old man, waiting for the aunt to bring her utensils and started speaking to the old man. The old man asked, his eyes bright. Qin Mu slightly lifted her gaze, pretending to be mysterious. The old man felt a bit uneasy, furrowing his brows, "Mumu!" "Grandpa! You said you’d help me, but in the end, you stood on your grandson’s side." Qin Mu showed she was quite disappointed with her grandpa. Feeling awkward from her words, the grandpa then laughed cheerfully to comfort her, "That boy just pretends to be pitiful in front of me. But Mumu, I actually want to help both of you. You clearly love each other yet aren’t together, it’s hard for me to watch." "But many people who are in love aren’t living together anymore in this world." Qin Mu told him, while serving herself some soup. The old man didn’t understand. "Because being too tightly bound can gradually consume the original love. Why do so many people change from loving to hating each other? Or become indifferent? Isn’t it because they torment each other from being together for too long?" The old man didn’t get it, only finding it disturbingly scary. But Qin Mu was really just trying to scare him, seeing the old man’s confused reaction, she chuckled. The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing her laugh. Yet, he couldn’t help but sigh, "You girl, you’re becoming more and more mischievous." "I was just thinking about things." "Thinking about what? Did you and your husband argue again on the way?" The old man asked her. "We did argue, but that’s nothing new for us, you shouldn’t worry about it." Qin Mu nodded, yet comforting him. "Hmm! I used to argue with your grandma all the time too, what’s scary about couples arguing! She’s still my wife, I’m still her husband!" The old man spread both hands, feeling like what he said made perfect sense. Indeed, it did make sense, but this only made Qin Mu more believe her parents’ words. Mu Yichen’s personality was inherited from someone, she suddenly felt a bit wronged, her beloved grandpa unexpectedly passed down this trait to her husband across generations. But what to do? Love outweighs grievance! After finishing the meeting, Mu Yichen called Qin Mu and learned she was already home, so he went to have a meal with his business partners, and checked the message Wu Jiaojiao sent him. Wu Jiaojiao actually listed out all sorts of problems with Qin Mu, saying Qin Mu wasn’t good enough for such a wonderful man like him. Mu Yichen thought about it after reading, feeling that Wu Jiaojiao’s point about Qin Mu’s problems was quite true, it’s just,... He just loves that troublesome little Qingmei dearly, all those troubles are caused by his pampering. There are things he can say, but others can’t. After ordering the dishes, while everyone was waiting to eat, he went out to make a call. That afternoon, Wu Jiaojiao received a call from the TV station and was fired. After dinner, Mu Yichen drove back to the villa, but by that time, Qin Mu and the old man were already napping in their own rooms. Should he go in or not? If he goes in, she might get angry. If he doesn’t, he feels he’s letting himself down. She didn’t lock the door, he took it as her consent, and Mu Yichen pushed the door open. She was already lying on the bed sleeping comfortably. Mu Yichen walked over, gently sat on the edge of her bed, watching her as she slept. It had been a long time since he’d seen her , asleep in bed. Qin Mu slept for two full hours before waking up, only to find Mu Yichen right next to her as she opened her eyes. She raised her eyes, quietly watching the man beside her in a black suit. She was already used to him dressing , also accustomed to him lying next to her, but it felt like a dream, unreal. So, for those few minutes, she just lay there staring at him blankly, while Mu Yichen let her watch him, also gazing at her. "When did you come in?" Qin Mu snapped back to reality, immediately sitting up, then nervously looking at him and asking, her hands reflexively hugging her chest. Not hugging was fine, but hugging made it even more alluring. Mu Yichen couldn’t help but feel his nose might bleed, as after she returned to have lunch, she went upstairs and changed into loose clothes, not expecting him to suddenly barge in. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
