Chapter 2175: Chapter 631: One Year Later (8) — Won’t Leave in Secret

The doctor hurriedly arrived at the house, quickly made his way to the main building under an umbrella, and was greeted at the door by an auntie who led him upstairs to Chengcheng’s room. Under the concerned gazes of everyone, he examined Chengcheng.

"The young master just has a slight fever. Give him some fever-reducing medicine, and have someone stay with him tonight. As long as it doesn’t turn into pneumonia or something similar, he should be fine by tomorrow."

After the doctor finished speaking, he turned to look at the little one lying on the bed with a worried expression and smiled slightly.

Chengcheng turned over, puffed up his cheeks, and said softly, "Thank you, Doctor Uncle!"

The doctor smiled, gave a few more instructions, and then left.

Feng Fanghua was still standing by the bed, looking worried to death. Qin Mu turned her head from outside the room, not knowing if she should go in.

"Mom!"

Huanhuan gently tugged at her clothes, and Qin Mu lowered her eyes slightly.

"Mom, will you stay to take care of brother? He’s missed you a lot this past year, and so have I!"

Huanhuan’s voice was soft, but it was heart-wrenching to hear.

No matter how hard her heart was...

But this isn’t her call to make, she looked at Feng Fanghua, who had long since sat beside Chengcheng.

"Grandma, I want mom to take care of me!"

Chengcheng said weakly to Feng Fanghua, his eyes pleading.

"Alas! Alright! Grandma loves you, after all! Then you can stay and take care of Chengcheng for now."

Feng Fanghua looked up at the woman standing at the door.

"Yes!"

Qin Mu agreed in a low voice, feeling resentful but knowing she had no right to be, she swallowed it all.

After Feng Fanghua left, Qin Mu had just sat down on the bed when the siblings each held onto her tightly from either side.

Qin Mu looked down at the siblings, and a layer of mist formed in her eyes.

Actually, she hadn’t considered that once they divorced, one of them was destined to feel guilty towards the children, and now she knew it was her letting them down. But what could she do? She could only hold them tight right now.

"Mom, never leave us again. We’ll help you chase that auntie away, okay?"

Huanhuan looked up at Qin Mu, but was reluctant to let go of her waist.

"Silly! Your dad hasn’t even said that the auntie is coming to be your stepmom, and you’re already this worried?"

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh softly and asked.

"But grandma keeps inviting her over for dinner every now and then, letting her stay late, and sometimes even asks dad to take her home."

Huanhuan continued, getting more indignant as she spoke.

"Adults’ matters aren’t for you to worry about. Just focus on your studies and avoid upsetting grandpa and grandma!"

Qin Mu didn’t know how to explain adult issues to them.

"We are studying well and living happily with grandpa and grandma, but we still need mom by our side. Children without their mom are pitiful, and we don’t want to be forsaken pitiful children."

Huanhuan looked at her with longing as she said these words, hugging her even tighter.

Qin Mu lowered her eyes, unable to say a word, her mouth filled with a bitter taste.

This was why she was reluctant to have a second child with Mu Yichen. Although she never regretted having Chengcheng, making the siblings live this way made her feel terribly guilty, and she could only hold them tight.

"Mom will come back to see you often, and I won’t be away for so long again!"

"We want mom to be with us all the time! Mom, I can’t be away from you for even a day."

Chengcheng still looked so sickly, painfully looking at Qin Mu as he spoke softly.

Qin Mu looked at him with gentle eyes, smiled slightly, and buried his face in her embrace.

Outside, a man stood by the wall.

He heard everything clearly inside, yet he didn’t appear.

Then, seeing someone coming up from downstairs, he slowly moved his feet and walked towards the room next door.

"Young madam, young master, young miss, dinner is ready."

The auntie didn’t enter, seeing how close the mother and children were at the door, she didn’t want to disturb them, feeling a bit sad, she quietly reminded them from outside.

"Got it!"

Qin Mu and Chengcheng looked up at the door and then smiled and agreed.

But this dinner, Qin Mu really didn’t know how to go down and eat.

As time ticked by, she realized she wouldn’t be able to leave tonight, wondering to herself if she’d have to spend the night here.
