Chapter 1592: Chapter 1592: You’re Still in Beijing?

The corridor on the second floor suddenly fell silent, Kong Lizhen looking at her daughter with a face full of surprise.

She glanced towards the stairway, confirmed nobody was there, and pulled Mu Yan towards the room.

Mu Yan obediently followed her into the room, seeing her cautiously close the door, she felt more assured of her thoughts.

"Mom, it seems what I said is true."

Kong Lizhen looked at her daughter, frowned, and said, "How did you know?"

"I figured it out myself," Mu Yan added, "It’s quite obvious."

Back then, when uncle first went to Upper City and saw mom, he acted quite unusual. Thinking back, he might have suspected mom’s identity then.

But by comparison, Zhuang Shaoyang was completely oblivious.

Years ago when mom married Zhuang Shaoyang, they must have had some emotional foundation.

By comparison, uncle knew mom much better than he did.

Just simple sibling affection? But what brother occasionally directs his gaze at his own sister, and this sister used to be his sister-in-law.

"Just know this yourself, don’t tell your aunt," Kong Lizhen said solemnly.

"Mom, what are you thinking, how could I possibly talk to aunt about this kind of thing," Mu Yan quickly said, "But with uncle having such thoughts, it’s not good for you to keep living here. If things go south, you and aunt probably would..."

"Your uncle is a sensible person," Kong Lizhen’s expression eased a bit, "Coveting your sister-in-law is something he wouldn’t let others know. But you’re right, I should move away from here, previously it was because your grandmother kept me, and I just reconciled with them, it’s awkward to leave."

"It’s fine, since I’ve come this time, you can say you want to go to Upper City to take care of me."

Kong Lizhen gave her a look, "I just fear I might be a third wheel there, interrupting your couple’s world."

"Mom, what are you saying," Mu Yan’s face slightly flushed, a bit shy and annoyed.

"Alright, go to sleep, look at those dark circles, they’re like panda eyes," Kong Lizhen urged.

"Hmm."

Mu Yan slept until the afternoon, waking up to see Jiang Jingheng sitting by her side, looking at her intently.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, asking, "What time is it now?"

Jiang Jingheng glanced at his watch, "Four thirty."

"I slept for this long?" Mu Yan said yawning, "When did you come back to the room?"

"Not long ago," Jiang Jingheng replied.

Mu Yan sat up, asking, "What did you do all afternoon?"

"Played chess with grandfather."

Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief at his words, asking, "Grandfather didn’t make things difficult for you, right?"

"No," Jiang Jingheng ruffled her head, "Considering your presence, he wouldn’t give me a hard time."

Mu Yan hugged his waist, saying, "No matter what they say, don’t take it to heart. They’re my family, they’re doing it for my good."

"I understand."

Mu Yan said with emotion, "Actually, when I first returned to the Zhuang Family, I didn’t like it here, but ever since mom came back, I found that being loved by family feels wonderful."

Jiang Jingheng’s expression turned obscure, his face somewhat stern, "Hmm, as long as you’re happy."

Mu Yan wanted to say more, suddenly she heard a rumbling sound from her belly, she looked up at Jiang Jingheng and said pitifully, "The baby seems hungry."

"Alright, I’ll go make something delicious for this baby," Jiang Jingheng teased her nose, let her go, got up, and prepared to go out.

"I’ll go with you," Mu Yan immediately crawled out of bed and clung to his arm to go together.

As soon as they reached downstairs, she heard a familiar voice.

When she saw the person sitting in the living room clearly, she exclaimed, "Uncle Ou, you’re still in Beijing."
