His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 700 - 196 Pampering (4) What’s there to accompany her?_4

Everyone’s gaze finally shifted to her.

Qin Mu turned to the little girl by her side who had spilled her bowl and immediately picked up a napkin, worried, "Did it burn you?"

"Ouch, my darling, did you get burned anywhere?"

Feng Fanghua, who sat on the other side of Huanhuan, also asked with concern.

The elders were all very anxious about her; Huanhuan shook her head, then made a face at Qin Mu and continued to pretend to be pitiable.

Qin Mu, with her sharp eyes, saw her daughter’s expression and was at a loss for words.

But inwardly, she couldn’t help but give the little rascal some silent praise.

Zhuo Wen was obviously too eye-catching, able to chat well with anyone, which made Huanhuan quite impatient.

"Sister Zhang, quick, take the young miss to change her clothes."

"I’ll go!"

After Feng Fanghua finished speaking, Qin Mu stood up and extended her hand toward her little daughter.

Huanhuan looked at her, feeling a bit nervous, but still handed her hand over.

"I should go too!"

Mu Yichen also got ready to stand up.

"There are guests here! I’ll go, it’s not a big deal!"

Qin Mu whispered to him and then took Huanhuan upstairs.

The dining room suddenly wasn’t as noisy as before, quieting down.

But as soon as the door to Princess Huanhuan’s room upstairs closed...

"Tell me! Was it intentional just now?"

Qin Mu stepped back slightly because standing too close would block her daughter’s line of sight with her belly.

She questioned Huanhuan sternly.

"Yeah! I dislike that aunt!"

Huanhuan nodded, thought about it, and still decided to tell her mother, feeling that her mother probably also didn’t like that aunt.

"Fortunately, the rice just now wasn’t hot; what if it had burned you? If your delicate skin got hurt, Mommy would be heartbroken."

Qin Mu finally squatted down and caressed her little nose as she spoke.

"Mommy, why does that aunt have to be at our house?"

Huanhuan grumbled.

"Because she’s a guest of our family! She’s the granddaughter of your great grandfather’s friend, and they have a very good relationship."

"But, she could stay at a hotel!"

Huanhuan blinked her big eyes.

"There are many things you’re too young to understand, but you’re not allowed to do such things again, understand? It’s absolutely not okay to hurt yourself because you’re angry at someone else, okay?"

Qin Mu pressed her shoulders and earnestly advised her.

"Oh!"

Huanhuan agreed, thought for a moment, and realized her leg was actually burned a little just now. She decided it would be better to listen to her mother from now on.

Huanhuan said she was already full, so Qin Mu didn’t accompany her downstairs, but directly prepared a bath for her and changed her into pajamas for bed.

When Mu Yichen came over, mother and daughter were at the end of a storybook.

Huanhuan sat inside, her black hair draped over, listening intently as her mother read to her.

After finishing the last few sentences, Qin Mu looked up, and Mu Yichen was already standing not far away.

"Why have you come up too? You’re not going to ask me to go downstairs and entertain the guests, are you?"

"Zhuo Wen has already gone back to her room," Mu Yichen reminded.

Qin Mu hadn’t expected Zhuo Wen to return to her room so soon and thought she’d have to chat until midnight. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Oh!"

Qin Mu then wondered if she was being too petty.

What if the girl was actually nice?

Yet no matter what, she couldn’t quell the irritation deep inside her heart.

The couple lay in bed, and after a while, Qin Mu felt insecure for the first time in a long time.

"When did you meet Zhuo Wen?"

"After coming back from Paris! She did a project here once and came to visit Grandfather." Mu Yichen recalled the first time he met Zhuo Wen as he lay with one hand behind his head and the other around Qin Mu’s shoulder.

"Oh!"

Qin Mu, hearing his calm explanation, suddenly felt like she had nothing much to say.

She thought to herself that she must be too petty and too sensitive!

Yes! The problem was with her!

Could it be that pregnancy was making her this unreasonable?

Qin Mu felt troubled, with an added sense of frustration, especially when she struggled to turn over in bed.

Suddenly having another woman in the house, one as beautiful as a fairy and such a good conversationalist, who seemed to say things that the elders all liked, unlike herself, as inexpressive as a rock.

Qin Mu felt she was going mad, lying awake in the middle of the night. She eventually sat up.

It wasn’t until nearly two o’clock that she managed to lie down, with her half-finished drawing and a pen still on the floor.

In the morning, the Mu Family home bustled with activity again.

Just after six o’clock, Zhuo Wen was already up, practicing yoga outside the window.

The old master watched from inside the window and let out a chuckle, "Youth really is wonderful!"

"But Dad, having Zhuo Wen stay at our house, are you trying to incite a civil war on purpose?" Mu Zihao had stood behind him for a while and, after thinking all night, couldn’t help but raise the concern.

"What are you talking about?"

The old master turned his head, looking puzzled at his son.

"Your grandson, your granddaughter-in-law, their relationship has just stabilized not long ago, and suddenly having Zhuo Wen stay over at our house, and with her way with words, do you think your granddaughter-in-law would be happy?" Mu Zihao explained.

"Don’t paint my granddaughter-in-law as so unreasonable. Mumu is a sensible child!"

The old master huffed, speaking as if defending, and returned his gaze to the window!
