Jiang Jin called Sister Yu over. “I’ve been out the entire day so I’m a little tired. Help me to the room and massage my legs. How’s the baby? Did A Nuan say anything?”
Sister Yu smiled and held Jiang Jin’s arm. “Don’t worry. A Nuan said the Little Master was very well-behaved today. He ate well, slept well, and had a lot of fun.”
Jiang Jin smiled. “That’s good, that’s good. I feel at ease with A Nuan looking after the baby.”
The two elderly women chatted and laughed as they made their way upstairs.
Ye Xin watched angrily as the two figures disappeared upstairs. She stomped her feet before turning around to leave.
When a helper that was at the entrance of the house saw Ye Xin, she asked, “Young Madam, where are you going?”
Ye Xin said unhappily, “I’m going to attend my yoga class!”
…
At the entrance of the yoga studio.
Ye Xin’s car had just driven away when an inconspicuous car followed after her.
Liang Zhou looked at the road ahead nervously before she asked Mu Chen who was sitting next to her, “You… Where are you taking me?”
Mu Chen ignored her. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
Liang Zhou looked at him helplessly. Mu Chen was the only one left in the world who was related to her by blood, but he hated her to the bones because she had stolen his father and caused his mother’s death. This made her unable to face him for the rest of her life. She was deeply afraid because she knew she owed him; she did not need anyone to remind her of that. For all these reasons, she had always been timid and careful in front of him.
Just when Liang Zhou had given up on receiving a reply from Mu Chen, he suddenly asked, “Do you really believe he’s loyal to you?”
Mu Chen’s voice was so calm that it was eerie.
“What? Who?” Liang Zhou asked, confused. It took a moment before she realized he was referring to Mu Qing. Her heart skipped a beat before she mustered up her courage and said, “I… I trust him.”
Mu Chen did not respond. He did not even open his eyes.
Liang Zhou could not help but say, “Mu Chen, I know you hate us, but we really love each other from the bottom of our hearts. When I was young, I was insensible. I ran away from our marriage and forced your mother into marrying into the Mu family. I… I was the one who ruined her life. Later on, when I met Mu Qing, I had no idea he was the man I was supposed to marry; I didn’t know he was my brother-in-law at that time. Please believe me.”
Mu Chen sneered. “So what? After you found out about his identity, didn’t you refuse to give up?”
Liang Zhou fell silent. This was her original sin. After a moment, she said sincerely, “Mu Chen, just like how you love Song Ning, Mu Qing and I love each other deeply as well. For the sake of love, we betrayed our family. We deserve the consequences resulting from our actions. However, Mu Chen, I really don’t wish for your relationship with your father to be so stiff. Now that you’re a husband and a father, I’m sure you understand your father a little, right? Put yourself in his shoes, Mu Chen. Don’t hold a grudge against him anymore…”
A hint of mockery could be seen on Mu Chen’s face as he said, “Such deep feelings really moved my heart…”
Liang Zhou did not know what to say. She did not dare to show her temper in front of Mu Chen.
Mu Chen asked, “If he betrays you one day, what will you do?”
Liang Zhou’s heart felt as though it had been stabbed when she heard these words. She forced a smile on her face before she said, “He won’t. Mu Chen, the feelings between me and your father are similar to those of you and Song Ning. He won’t betray me. He made a promise to me…” Her expression grew solemn as she continued to say, “Mu Chen, love has no rhyme or reason.. The heart wants what the heart wants. Mu Chen, please believe us, okay?”
