Perhaps no one wants to admit it, but the fact remains.
At first, everything seemed perfect, as long as two people were in love.
But marriage, or perhaps not just being in love, involves a lot more. In marriage, they would face many things that required mutual trust.
Halfway there, she suddenly turned back, "Mu Yichen, you better go and eat, don’t let the elders worry."
Mu Yichen lay on the bed and sighed helplessly. No one else should worry, yet they were both so unhappy.
After Mu Yichen went downstairs, everyone had already finished eating, and Qin Mu was sitting on the sofa, laughing and talking with the elders.
Mu Yichen stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the woman on the sofa with a pleasing smile, "Qin Mu, come here for a moment."
Call her by her full name?
It felt a bit like a big boss summoning a servant.
But he was quite serious.
So when he stood there waiting for her.
Feng Fanghua said softly, "Go ahead!"
"Mommy, be careful or daddy will spank you, oh!"
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
Qin Mu was overwhelmed with embarrassment, while Huanhuan already had her little mouth covered, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Qin Mu sighed helplessly. These were their own children, right?
But no matter what, they shouldn’t let things at home become too tense, so she still went to him.
Together, they went to the dining room.
The maid hurriedly served the dinner prepared for Mu Yichen and also brought utensils for Qin Mu, "Madam didn’t eat well just now, have some more with us."
Qin Mu thanked reflexively but had already lost her appetite.
So later, while he ate, her bowl sat untouched in front of her. She just rested one hand on the table, gently caressing it, and propped her chin with the other, watching him unblinkingly.
"Why aren’t you eating?"
Mu Yichen asked her, also glancing at her.
Qin Mu muttered and continued to watch him.
For some reason, she felt he was too calm now.
Qin Mu slightly lowered her eyes and saw several deep bite marks on the webbing between thumb and forefinger where he held the spoon...
Qin Mu reflexively looked down, feeling a discomfort in her throat.
Mu Yichen’s dark eyes scrutinized her, suspicious of her behavior.
Qin Mu grabbed the back of her neck and awkwardly turned her eyes away.
When Mu Yichen went to eat again and saw the bite marks on his hand left by her, he glanced at her again, "Seems I’m not the only dog here."
"Yeah! If you admit you are one."
Qin Mu naturally didn’t dare say those last four words, but she still cast a sharp glance at him, only to immediately lower her gaze upon meeting his eyes.
This meal was excruciating.
After dinner, Qin Mu saw Feng Fanghua pick up her son and immediately said, "Mom, give Chengcheng to me!"
"Let the little guy sleep with me tonight. Your father and I want to cuddle him," said Feng Fanghua to her.
"I also want to sleep with grandpa and grandma."
"Huanhuan, don’t you like sleeping with mommy and daddy?"
Huanhuan looked disdainfully over her shoulder and then at her grandfather’s lap.
Qin Mu turned around and saw Mu Yichen standing behind her, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
If they were to sleep together that night, they would surely argue.
"Huanhuan, if you sleep with mommy tonight, there’s a reward, oh!"
Huanhuan’s face lit up at the mention of a reward, her excitement nearly making her jump.
"This reward will be whatever Huanhuan requests, and mommy will fulfill it, how about that?"
Qin Mu thought for a moment and then offered more leeway.
Huanhuan was immediately intrigued, but she glanced behind her mother again and timidly looked at the figure behind her, not daring to agree.
Qin Mu turned to look at Mu Yichen, who walked towards the upstairs without expression.
"You should go rest too, you’ve just finished your confinement. Stop moving around so much."
Qin Mu agreed, then continued to signal Huanhuan with her eyes.
"Huanhuan, you’ll sleep with us tonight."
Qin Mu felt a surge of despair.
But the two of them had just had a fight, and it was too soon to be together again.
She subconsciously wanted to go to the study.
But Mu Yichen was already waiting for her at the top of the stairs.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw him, "What are you doing here?"
"Greeting Madam Mu’s grand arrival," Mu Yichen said, his dark eyes gazing at her intently, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
