Qin Mu felt a warmth in his eyes when she read the message but sent Helian Hao only a playful emoji.
"Let him be distracted for a while."
"It’s about time he was bewitched by her."
Qin Mu didn’t return home until nearly nine o’clock in the evening, by which time the children had already gone to sleep, and Feng Fanghua and the nanny were packing.
Seeing her return, Feng Fanghua asked, "What time is our flight the day after tomorrow?"
"Half past ten in the morning!"
"Ah! Finally going home! Although we had a great time here, I actually started to miss home."
Feng Fanghua smiled, then continued to fold the little one’s clothes neatly.
The nanny brought Qin Mu a bowl of bird’s nest soup, and Qin Mu enjoyed it while chatting with them on the sofa.
"Seeing how neatly you both fold clothes, I really start to doubt whether I’m a woman at all."
Qin Mu muttered with a laugh.
"You’re only realizing this now? But for our family’s young lady, it’s okay if you can’t do much. Just refrain from tormenting my son, that’s all."
Feng Fanghua said to herself, then looked up at Qin Mu.
"Young lady, after you get back this time, please make up with the young master! It’s not as if the two of you don’t love each other. This cold war is doing neither of you any good."
"Anyway, I don’t care about anything else. If you two continue to have a cold war at home, then both of you can move back to the apartment, and neither of you should think about seeing the children again."
Feng Fanghua said emotionlessly.
"But Mom, Chengcheng still needs to breastfeed. If I move back to the apartment..."
"Even if Chengcheng doesn’t drink your milk, I can still keep her well-fed. Besides, do you think you have that much milk? She’s still having powdered milk for most of the day, isn’t she?"
Feng Fanghua’s words left Qin Mu with nothing to say.
The nanny remained silent, her mood quite pleasant, thinking that anyone unaware would think these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were actually mother and daughter, given their harmonious relationship now.
"Now that Zhuo Wen’s matter is behind us, once we get back, let’s go fetch grandfather. I still don’t feel comfortable leaving an old man to live in the countryside by himself."
Feng Fanghua thought for a moment, still unwilling to let the old man stay in the rural area alone.
Qin Mu agreed, thinking to herself that she also wanted to visit the countryside to see how nice grandfather’s place was. He always spoke of it so fondly, which made her believe it must be a very clean and honest place.
The next day, Qin Mu was busy while Feng Fanghua and the nanny quietly took the children to see her fashion show.
On the way home, the nanny remarked, "The Mistress’s mentor really supports her! Whatever he does, he brings the Mistress along."
"Ah! Isn’t it all because of love?"
Feng Fanghua sighed as she sat in the back seat watching over the two treasures.
If it wasn’t for the feelings involved, and the lack of a father-daughter relationship, how could it have come to this?
It was always just a few days of asking for Qin Mu’s help, and then she would get half the credit.
On the third day, a dark-colored business car was parked downstairs of their building.
Jian Yan and his assistant went to help with the luggage.
It was quite lively, especially since there were two children involved.
Then they all went to the airport to see them off.
"It has been long enough. Continuing this cold war will really create a rift—you’ll regret it!"
Jian Yan reminded Qin Mu, walking behind her.
"Mm-hmm! You don’t need to worry about me. As for you, with your weak stomach, refrain from eating things you shouldn’t, and don’t stay up late all the time, got it?"
Qin Mu stopped, turned around, and earnestly took care of him.
"Do you really need to worry about me? Hasn’t there always been someone keeping an eye on you?"
Jian Yan said, glancing at the people handling the luggage.
Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile at his words, "Still, I have to admonish you a bit—that’s my way of showing filial piety!"
Without realizing it, she took his arm.
Jian Yan looked down at her little maneuver, smiled slightly, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Got it, let’s hurry up!"
Reluctantly, Qin Mu released his arm. Feng Fanghua was waiting for her, so Qin Mu had to board the plane.
Feng Fanghua turned a blind eye to Qin Mu’s embrace of Jian Yan’s arm, seemingly able to accept some feelings now.
But she wondered whether her son would be jealous knowing this.
"Take good care of yourself!"
Jian Yan still made a point to greet Feng Fanghua.
Feng Fanghua nodded at him and then took the children to the check-in counter.
The plane took off on time. Qin Mu felt that once she returned, she could accompany Helian Hao to conceive another baby. The young girl seemed quite scared, but she would cheer her on.
