Chapter 714: 199 Pampering (7)_5

"Sleep!"

She struggled gently, then scooted a bit more towards the edge of the bed.

The person who usually nestled into his arms was now suddenly resistant to him, and Mu Yichen reflexively moved closer to her from behind, "Baby!"

"Mu Yichen, stop messing around!"

Qin Mu muttered softly.

Only then did Mu Yichen realize she was aware of his return.

Mu Yichen slightly lifted his head, concerned by her upset demeanor, worrying if she felt unwell, but then heard his phone go off behind him.

He reluctantly reached for the phone to check the WeChat message.

"Home?"

"Mhm."

Mu Yichen responded with a word, put the phone down, and then went back to coax her, only to be interrupted just as he had embraced her.

He couldn’t help but sigh, then reached for the phone again.

"When you get home, you need to accompany your wife!"

Mu Yichen didn’t reply, his eyes flickered, and in a flash, he turned his phone to silent mode.

Afterward, as he laid behind Qin Mu once more, there were finally no more sounds to disturb them.

Even though Qin Mu had her eyes closed, she constantly felt bursts of light in the room.

Mu Yichen flipped his phone over again, but by the time he looked back, Qin Mu had already pinned down the blanket, including the part that covered him.

What’s with this woman?

Without thinking, Mu Yichen wrapped the blanket around them both and asked her in a low voice, "Are you trying to freeze me to death?"

Qin Mu didn’t speak but just wrapped herself up tighter.

"Are you disgusted with me for drinking? I promise not to touch a drop tomorrow, how about that?"

Mu Yichen asked her, his voice especially tender in the darkness.

Qin Mu ignored him.

Left with no choice, Mu Yichen lay beside her, sighing over and over again, looking at the woman who turned her back on him.

"It’s so cold!"

"Why is it so cold today? Didn’t it just snow?"

"Right! Snowing isn’t cold, but when it melts, it gets cold!"

"Wife, you’ll catch a cold!"

Qin Mu had intended to continue sleeping, but now he had disturbed her so much that she was no longer sleepy, and she turned to look at him.

"Why are you over there by yourself?"

Mu Yichen...

"Are you joking with me?"

With a swoop, Mu Yichen turned over, quickly lifted the blanket, and snuggled up behind her on the bed to warm himself up.

Qin Mu...

"Why did you suddenly pin the blanket down just now?"

Mu Yichen asked her while he sighed.

"Did I?"

Qin Mu opened her innocent big eyes, although she clearly knew what she had done.

"Ha! You’re forgetting awfully fast!"

Mu Yichen teased her, then held her tightly in his arms, "Bad woman! Abusing your husband? Huh?"

Qin Mu remained silent, thinking to herself, so what if I did?

"What time is it?"

Wrapped in his embrace, Qin Mu asked in a hoarse voice, struggling to breathe.

"Eleven o’clock."

Mu Yichen turned to grab his phone, yet he kept one hand around her.

"Someone messaged you. Aren’t you going to check it?"

Qin Mu glanced up slightly, asking him.

Mu Yichen...

"It’s not from another woman, is it?"

"Spam message!"

Mu Yichen stated.

Then, he looked at Qin Mu again.

Illuminated by the phone’s light, their gazes met.

"Oh! Let’s sleep!"

Qin Mu said, then buried her head in his chest again.

Mu Yichen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable where his heart was being pressed.

But when he looked down, he saw that she had already closed her eyes.

The month had passed quickly, and though it was very cold that noon, the sun was still quite nice. Qin Mu, after repeated pleading, was finally allowed to leave the house by Feng Fanghua.

Then, driving her own little car, she went straight to Helian Hao’s place, picked up Helian Hao, and then they went to find Wen Runuan. The three women went to the grand theater together to watch a drama about punishing the adulterer.

After leaving there, the three women couldn’t help but talk about it: "The actress who played the other woman, she isn’t one in real life, she’s the beloved of our Film Academy’s Teacher Zhang, and it is said that they have been married for twenty years without a single argument,"

As soon as Wen Runuan finished speaking, Qin Mu and Helian Hao were both shocked into a silly giggle.

"Not having argued for twenty years, does that mean their relationship is good or bad?"

Helian Hao asked.

"Yeah, not arguing for twenty years, could it be they don’t actually have feelings for each other instead of being respectful?"

Qin Mu speculated as well.

"It shouldn’t be the case, right? Usually, they walk together hand in hand, and also, they have four children."

Wen Runuan thought for a moment and then added.

Qin Mu and Helian Hao were so shocked they could barely breathe.

Four children...

"Never mind her, let me tell you about the actress who played the leading lady this time, she’s a true homewrecker in real life. She’s been with several men, all of whom were married, but when it comes to stage plays, she’s always the main character, always the lawful wife, don’t you think her skills are amazing?"

"Indeed, very amazing!"

But no one felt that this kind of ’amazing’ was something to brag about.

After leaving the theater, the three of them went to a café, but as they all couldn’t drink coffee, they ordered three glasses of milk instead.

Sitting in the café and just enjoying the ambiance felt wonderful.

Wen Runuan said, "I’m going to join a crew next spring, are you two interested in making a friendly cameo for me?"

"I’m fine with it, but by that time Mrs. Jing might be in her confinement, right?"

Qin Mu laughed.

Helian Hao sighed helplessly, "Having a baby is really something else. Jing Feng said he’d take paternity leave to accompany me because he heard that you nearly didn’t make it when you gave birth, so he said he’d be right by my side."

"Mu Yichen just went to conduct a video meeting with his subordinates."

Qin Mu remembered the incident and couldn’t help but sigh unconsciously.

It really felt like she had survived a great calamity.

No wonder Yichen had said that he would never let her be pregnant again.

She herself was still frightened by the experience.

"Hey, hey, hey, look!"

Helian Hao, holding a glass of milk, glanced out of the window unintentionally, then gently tapped Qin Mu’s arm, which was engrossed in thought.

Seeing her so anxious, Qin Mu became curious and looked outside.

Wen Runuan also looked over curiously, not recognizing the couple and not sure if it was the same people Qin Mu and Helian Hao were looking at.

"Isn’t that Zhuo Wen, and that’s her fiance, right?"

Helian Hao asked.

Qin Mu’s eyes flickered, remembering the two faces she saw last night, and frowned slightly, "I suppose it is!"

"I didn’t get a clear look last time, but now I’ve seen him up close, and he’s not bad looking."

Helian Hao muttered.

Qin Mu smiled, appearances weren’t important, what was important was whether their feelings were genuine.

If Zhuo Wen had a good relationship with her fiance, why was she still lingering in Rongcheng?

Could they have had some other business to do?

"Someone you know?"

Wen Runuan asked softly.

The couple had already come in through the door but headed in another direction.

With partitions in between, they couldn’t see each other.

But their voices were still quite audible.

"Saw that person last night? How did you feel?"

"Just so-so! He has his guard up against me!"

Soon after the two sat down, they started chatting, with the man asking Zhuo Wen a question, and Zhuo Wen answering somewhat annoyed.

"Should we head back?"

Then Zhuo Wen’s fiance asked.

"If you want to go back, go by yourself, I can’t just go back like this!"

"Baby! We’re about to get married! Can you be serious for a moment?"

Zhuo Wen’s fiance gently reminded her, seeing her reluctance to leave.

Zhuo Wen looked up at him and suddenly laughed, "In a few days."

As they were chatting, Qin Mu’s phone rang abruptly on the table. Helian Hao and Wen Runuan reflexively looked at her phone, and the ringtone disturbed the entire floor.
