"Don’t young people usually like to sit in the front? Why do you prefer the back?" The old man asked her. "I like being with Grandpa!" Qin Mu smiled and softly spoke to the old man. The old man was very pleased and couldn’t bring himself to scold her. Qin Mu was very adept at playing coy, but the person driving wasn’t too happy about it. Actually, Qin Mu really enjoyed that feeling, making Mu jealous while also enjoying being playful around her elder. She once thought she’d never have the chance to be playful with elders in her life, only watching others do so with envy, but now... Indeed, life’s destiny is truly mysterious. She would sneak glances at the back of the driver’s head with her big eyes, feeling a bit guilty, as being held all night felt much better than being alone. Occasionally sleeping alone was okay, but for long periods, it’s truly not a lifestyle suited for married women—much too painful. When the old man arrived at the hospital for his checkup, the two waited outside. Mu Yichen couldn’t help lowering his gaze, glancing at her as he asked, "Was it deliberate not sitting in the front?" Qin Mu turned to look at him briefly, a mischievous expression flashing in those big eyes. "Wasn’t it? Then sit in the front on the way back!" Mu Yichen had already planned what to say after her response. Qin Mu couldn’t help but hold her breath, thinking she should have just said yes. "Then Grandpa would be lonely sitting alone in the back! Better not!" "You’re really considerate of his feelings. How come you don’t consider your husband’s feelings?" Qin Mu lifted her gaze to him, intending to smile but couldn’t, as his expression was too serious. "My husband is so young; there’s still plenty of time in the future, isn’t there?" Qin Mu reconsidered, blinking as she asked him. The area was super quiet, with only the two standing here, and occasionally, someone from inside would glance out, nearly forgetting their own role as they watched through the glass. The old man got up from under the equipment, letting out a helpless sigh: "This kid!" On the way back, the old man asked, "Yichen, are you free to accompany me fishing this afternoon? Last time I went with your dad, and Mumu said the fish were tasty, right, Mumu?" Qin Mu hadn’t expected the old man to suddenly mention her, but she still immediately agreed. Mu Yichen had nothing much to say since she wanted to eat fish. "By the way, does Wen Runuan still often go to the restaurant for fish soup?" Qin Mu suddenly thought of Wen Runuan. She hadn’t been in town lately, so they barely kept in touch. "Not sure! I think she’s filming out of town lately!" Mu Yichen thought back to the last time he encountered Wen Runuan’s husband. Her husband said his wife was filming out of town with the kid, and he was dining alone all over the place. Qin Mu murmured in response and didn’t ask further. Mu Yichen glanced at the woman sitting beside him, brought over by his threats, but regardless, she came nonetheless. Qin Mu, upon being looked at, reflexively turned and glanced at him: "What’s with the stare?" "Admiring your beauty!" Mu Yichen suddenly remarked. Then quietly turned her head to gaze at the scenery outside, the view slowly soothing the heart. "Grandpa! How about we take you out for lunch today?" Qin Mu suddenly remembered that since Grandpa arrived in Paris, he hadn’t dined out. "Going for Western cuisine? I’m not used to French food!" "Grandpa! Just once!" Qin Mu turned to him to assure, thinking it would be a pity having come all this way without trying French cuisine even once. "Alright then! Whatever you two want, I’ll try alongside you. If I don’t fill up, I’ll go home and eat more." The old man replied cheerfully. Qin Mu couldn’t help feeling happy, looking at Mu Yichen: "Let’s go to that restaurant in the city center; their French cuisine is the most authentic." Mu said nothing, just patiently turned the car in another direction. Right now, to him, his wife’s words were like royal commands. The old man was thrilled to visit such a classy place, and praised the experience extensively after returning, but that’s a story for later. Surprisingly, no one asked how long Mu Yichen planned to stay here. Nor did anyone ask if Qin Mu wanted to return with Mu Yichen. The three casually spent the afternoon wandering in the city center of Paris. The second and third days, Qin Mu continued to guide the old man around, visiting famous museums and buildings, thoroughly giving him a tour like a very, very good guide. As for Mu Yichen, he followed behind them, carrying the backpack and a huge thermos. Finally, the day came when Qin Mu’s car was repaired and returned, looking exactly like before. Qin Mu remembered the car collision and was puzzled why they didn’t ask for money after several days. Qin Mu stood by the car, unable to resist the feeling of doubt. "Strange about what?" Mu Yichen had just paid and seen off the person who delivered the car and turned around upon hearing Qin Mu muttering, thus asked. "The people who collided with the car hadn’t called to ask for repair fees." Nowadays, there shouldn’t be people that silly? "That’s because someone had already paid for the repairs for you." Mu Yichen looked at her and spoke. Qin Mu turned her head, her hair brushing past her ear, her cool gaze settling on Mu Yichen: "Hmm? What do you mean?" "Means your husband has already taken care of the repair fees for you." Mu Yichen said seriously once more. Qin Mu suddenly felt a little guilty, thinking how embarrassing she must have looked that day? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net Mu Yichen responded, his gaze turning somewhat serious. His eyes seemed to convey to her that he hadn’t intentionally acted that way with Wu Jiaojiao. Upon realizing the misunderstanding, he immediately chased after her to explain, but saw the scene unfold. He knew if he intervened, they’d end up quarreling, so he watched their exchange discreetly. Qin Mu, upon realizing the meaning behind his words, helplessly sighed: "You always make me feel embarrassed." Mu Yichen chuckled lightly, his deep voice responding. Then they fell silent, enveloped by the vast greenery. The two stood by the grass beside their home, both a bit downcast but holding a sense of hopeful anticipation as they looked at each other.
