CHAPTER 1367: CHAPTER 386: A LIFETIME TO LOVE ONLY ONE (7)

"Only Yang Bo would have so many concerns. As for me, I’ll only marry the woman I like. If I don’t like her, I won’t even glance at her."

"Tch!"

Qin Mu looked at him, full of arrogance. She couldn’t help but want to scorn him, thinking about how he once flirted with Jing Qing to get under her skin.

Mu Yichen chuckled softly. Seeing her look of disbelief, he couldn’t resist reaching out to grab her hand. Qin Mu couldn’t help but look down, and suddenly, her anger dissipated.

In the palm of his hand, her temper seemed to fade easily.

"The Yang Family and the Lu Family are clearly trying to arrange a marriage to enhance their own status and reputation. It’s really excessive!"

Qin Mu couldn’t help but murmur, leaning on his shoulder hesitantly.

"It is excessive, but you don’t need to feel bad for Yang Bo. He’s long been accustomed to being manipulated by the elders, and growing up in such a family, these things are common occurrences."

Mu Yichen said softly to her.

"Really?"

Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask, raising her curious eyes to look at Mu Yichen’s handsome profile.

"Yeah! If you and your dad hadn’t separated back then, he would’ve probably started looking for a suitable suitor for you as soon as you turned eighteen or nineteen. But that person wouldn’t have been me."

"Oh? Then who would it have been?"

"Who would it have been? Jing Feng? That kid would definitely be your dad’s ideal candidate for a son-in-law, then maybe Yang Bo, or some other guy I don’t know!"

As Mu Yichen continued speaking, his earlier rationality quickly vanished.

Before Qin Mu returned to the country, Qin Haiming had met with him a few times alone, and had said more than once, "If it weren’t for the fact that you looked after her all these years, I definitely wouldn’t agree to you being together, understand?"

Such words, Qin Haiming had said countless times.

But that’s just the kind of fate he had. Apart from him, no one else would have accompanied this poor little girl for so many years.

"But which guy would it have been? Definitely not Jing Feng; Jing Feng is Xiaohao’s. Yang Bo, hmm, Brother Yang Bo actually suits my taste quite well?"

In the carriage, only their soft murmurs could be heard. Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Mu Yichen squeezed the hand he was holding tightly.

Qin Mu let out a soft cry: Ouch!

"Serves you right for being so cheeky with your words!"

Mu Yichen gave her a look that said, ’Who told you to say such things.’

Qin Mu wasn’t angry at all; instead, she was a bit smug, clutching his arm tightly, leaning against his shoulder. Though the road ahead was dark, fortunately, there were lights.

The trees on the roadside were almost blocking the streetlights with their leaves, but there were still car lights!

Qin Mu thought, Yang Bo must have a way to refuse a marriage he doesn’t love. Young people like them don’t have to become political pawns.

After returning home, the children were still awake. However, just when they thought the kids were playing happily, the cousins ended up having a fight.

Huanhuan, being the elder sister, even pushed her cousin forcefully, and the situation quickly became unmanageable.

After hearing the explanation from the auntie, Qin Mu practically ran to the play area, witnessing the whole scene.

"You are not allowed to bully your brother!"

Huanhuan pointed at Zifeng, who was sitting on the ground, bossily commanding.

Feng Fanghua was still crouching down, trying to pick up Zifeng, who instead, cried even louder.

"Mu Chenghuan, if Zifeng isn’t allowed to bully Chengcheng, then you are not allowed to bully your younger brother either!"

Qin Mu walked up and picked up Zifeng, furrowing her young brow and commanded her daughter.

Upon hearing her mother’s stern voice, Huanhuan immediately fell silent and looked at the boy in her mother’s arms.

Chengcheng had long stopped crying, as his sister had stood up for him. So, he sat among the ocean balls, holding one in each hand, playing and watching the commotion.

Qin Mu gave Chengcheng a glance and then looked down at the little boy crying in her arms: "Zifeng, stop crying. How about your aunt takes you out for some juice?"

"Okay!"

Zifeng sniffled and agreed with Qin Mu.

Mu Yichen stood at the doorway, leaning against it, watching for a while. As Qin Mu carried the child out, the two of them exchanged a glance, and Mr. Mu expressed with his eyes that he was very displeased. This woman actually scolded his precious daughter for someone else’s child. It was too much.

However, Mu Yichen didn’t say anything. Once Qin Mu left carrying one child, he walked in, saying, "Mu Chengyang, get up!"

Mu Chengyang only then noticed his impressive father and was so scared that he dropped the ball he was holding and tried to get up. But accidentally stepping on a ball, he kept tumbling back down several times.

"Oh, my little darling, you must be hurt! Did you get hurt? Let grandma help you up!"

Feng Fanghua couldn’t stand watching, so she immediately rushed into the ocean of balls and picked up her grandson.

"You two, one after the other, are so concerned for someone else’s child. Can’t you be nice to your own?"

Feng Fanghua glared at her son angrily, then left holding her grandson.

Mu Yichen...

Mu Yichen thought to himself, when was I not good to my own kid? I was just asking Mu Chengyang to come out.

Left with only the father and daughter in the play area, Mu Yichen and Huanhuan were locked in a staring contest. Afraid of being scolded by her dad, Huanhuan’s eyes were already brimming with tears. Mu Yichen knelt down, resigned, and said softly to Huanhuan: "Come over to dad."
