CHAPTER 1168: CHAPTER 329: IN THE NAME OF HUSBAND AND WIFE (PART 4)

After Qin Mu answered the call, she couldn’t sleep and sat gloomily on the bed hugging herself, wondering if he had indeed called her or if he had accidentally pressed his phone.

It should have been an accidental press on the phone; given his character, he wouldn’t call her so willingly.

Besides, what good would it do even if he called?

After the phone call this evening, Qin Mu felt like there was a knot in her heart, and even though it was a butterfly knot, it still made her feel uncomfortable, her heart uneasy.

Unable to lie down any longer, Qin Mu leaned against the headboard, drowsily thinking about him.

She thought about the things he said that night with Qin Mingzhu, how he enjoyed making her embarrassed in front of the elders, delighting in tormenting her.

Those fleeting glances were like needles, stabbing into her heart over and over.

Pain that refused to subside for a long, long time.

——

That day, the whole family accompanied the old man for a check-up, and Qin Mu couldn’t help but wander the hospital corridors for a long time, wondering if the maternity ward was still on the third floor. Suddenly, she remembered the day Little Huanhuan was taken out from her belly, that pure and simple crying, making her feel like she was dreaming.

Today, Little Huanhuan didn’t come; otherwise, she would have taken Little Huanhuan to see the place where she was born.

Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao watched her wandering with her arms around herself, unable to help but have a whispered conversation: "Our granddaughter was born here back then!"

"Forgot! But seeing her like this, it must be!"

Feng Fanghua murmured and then sighed helplessly, thinking, this stubborn daughter-in-law was once a girl who suffered too.

Qin Mu soon returned to the window, watching the old man undergoing repeated tests inside with them, feeling a twinge of pain. Grandfather, such a stubborn old man, always thought he was in great shape, yet now he had to lie there subjected to all sorts of tests, being moved and manipulated.

"Ah! Seeing dad like this is truly heartbreaking!"

Feng Fanghua couldn’t help but ponder aloud, speaking with a hoarse voice.

"It’s nothing! Just a routine check-up!"

Mu Zihao wrapped his arms around her waist, speaking softly to comfort Feng Fanghua, and indeed to comfort himself.

After the check-up, the doctor explained things to them, with Qin Mu as translator, worried about receiving bad news. But she was relieved that although grandpa’s health had some minor issues, overall it’s fairly good; as long as he takes care and undergoes regular check-ups, there should be no problems.

As the old man left the hospital, he couldn’t help but smile proudly: "I said I’m fine! You all made such a fuss!"

"Grandpa! Even the healthiest person needs a comprehensive physical exam once a year."

Qin Mu lightly held his arm as they walked, speaking to him.

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"I hate going to the hospital for check-ups the most, being treated like a toy, hmm! Think back to my army days, I used to be the one commanding others."

The old man spoke nostalgically and rather proudly.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh, imagining how her grandpa must have been so adorably cute when young.

"By the way, Mumu! Where was our Little Huanhuan born?"

The old man suddenly stopped, turned to look at the big letters at the hospital entrance.

"Right here!"

Qin Mu turned her head, looking at the same place with him.

"You were only twenty at the time!"

The old man smiled and walked forward with her, mentioning.

"Grandpa! Actually, having a child at twenty is pretty great! Look, I’m so young, and my daughter’s already in kindergarten, outsiders even think I’m unmarried, especially easy to recover!"

Qin Mu spoke to him.

The driver got out to open the car door for them, then the old man slowly sat inside.

Qin Mu sat in the front passenger seat, Feng Fanghua, and Mu Zihao stayed beside the old man.

"Paris hasn’t changed much over the past few years, looks the same as before!"

"Yes! Unlike our place, don’t go home for three years, and you might not even find the front door when you return."

Feng Fanghua chuckled.

"You know your son has contributed to that."

The old man reminded Feng Fanghua.

Feng Fanghua...

Sitting in the front, Qin Mu smirked, holding back her laughter, finding it amusing hearing the old man tease her mother-in-law.

After returning home, Qin Mu went to the apartment, Mu Zihao strolled around the nearby area with the old man, and Feng Fanghua took the children and the nanny straight to the city center.
