Chapter 122: 71 Chen Ge is here again (2)_3

Mu Yichen had no choice but to follow her out and intercepted her on the stairs, "If you keep being so stubborn, I really might have to kidnap you."

"..."

Qin Mu looked at him in surprise. His tone was mild, yet she felt that he might truly do such a thing.

"Come home with me, and whatever you want to eat, I’ll cook for you."

Qin Mu looked up at him, "Can you send Huanhuan over to me? I’ll eat with you every day from now on."

Only then did Mu Yichen look at her seriously, and upon seeing the calculations in her eyes, he couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

"You’d see her if you came home, wouldn’t you?"

He reminded her, getting angry at her apparent determination not to enter their house again.

"How could that be possible?"

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but laugh, then stood on the same step as her, "So, are you willing to come home with me now?"

"I don’t want to!"

He didn’t know that his parents were no longer as keen for them to be together as they had been before. The elders were watching to see if she could stand up to the Jing Family, and that would determine whether they wanted her as the Mu Family’s daughter-in-law.

"Why not? I can let you tuck our daughter into bed."

"I should be sleeping with my daughter anyway, why do I need your permission?"

"Why do you have to be so argumentative?"

Only the two of them were left in the room within the entire studio.

"Mu Yichen, what kind of skill is it to bully a woman?"

"Bully you?"

He raised an eyebrow, stubbornly smiling at her, "Not going back to the Mu family with me?"

"When will you bring Huanhuan back to me?"

"You don’t have the time to take care of her anyway."

Qin Mu fixed her gaze on him as if resigning herself to the fate of Huanhuan, sighing unconsciously, her smile somewhat forced.

"But she’s happy here."

"There are more people who like being with you than just her. Why don’t you consider what’s in front of you?"

"How can that be the same? I am her mother."

"And you are my wife too, you should understand your responsibilities and who is closer."

No matter how she thought about it, she felt there was something wrong with his thinking. Huanhuan came from her womb, while he... he shared no blood relation with her.

But Mu Yi didn’t think so.

When the two of them left the studio, they saw a somewhat familiar car parked outside, with Liu Jingyuan inside.

Mu Yichen was still holding onto Qin Mu’s hand, and when he saw Liu Jingyuan’s car, he instinctively turned back and gave Qin Mu an intimate look. Her heart tightened, feeling that this had nothing to do with her.

She hadn’t asked anyone to wait here for him.

Liu Jingyuan, upon seeing them come out, didn’t hide but got out of his car to greet them.

"Mr. Mu, it’s been a while."

"How could it be a while? Didn’t we just contend for that plot of land to the east— oh, that’s right, I haven’t yet had the chance to congratulate Mr. Liu for acquiring that land."

"I should be thanking Mr. Mu for yielding."

Qin Mu’s heart jumped fiercely. Had he really lost that bid?

Mu Yichen sneered, "To say I yielded is too much, but indeed, I wasn’t very keen on that land."

"Maybe Mr. Mu wasn’t keen on it, but for me, it’s a treasure."

As Liu Jingyuan said this, he nodded towards Qin Mu in greeting, and she, frightened, could only muster a weak smile in return.

Why did she feel like Mr. Liu was here to ruin her day?

"Then I wish Mr. Liu good luck, we are leaving!"

Mu Yichen didn’t even ask why Liu Jingyuan was standing there, being rather dismissive, and after speaking, he pulled Qin Mu away with him.

Qin Mu numbly let him lead her onto the car, and as Liu Jingyuan turned to look at Mu Yichen’s limited-edition sports car driving away, his gaze drifted off with it.

Many times, he didn’t know what he was holding on to.

Meanwhile, on the road, Qin Mu sat beside him in silence, her eyes hidden behind dense lashes.

After a long drive, she finally spoke, "Did Jing Xianzong still give the land to someone else?"

"Mm!"

His response was faint, as if he was reflecting on other matters and not what she was thinking about.

It wasn’t until they arrived back at the apartment and he looked up to see her staring at him with a wounded expression.

"What’s wrong?"

"Why don’t you go apologize to the Jing Family? Since you need them."

"Why should I apologize? When have I ever needed them?"

In the face of her questioning, Mu Yichen was even more puzzled.

The two of them stood frozen in the spacious living room, their frowns deepening.

Even though the lights were on and the room was brightly illuminated, Qin Mu felt as if she couldn’t see him clearly.

"Are you talking about losing that plot of land to Liu Jingyuan in the bidding? I never intended to go after that land. The Jing Family just assumed I was very keen on it. By giving it to Liu Jingyuan, all they did was rid me of a hot potato."
