Chapter 2429: Chapter 691: Returned (9)_5

"Today I’ve made plans with a few old ladies to take our grandkids out to play. If you two have any objections, just say it."

Feng Fanghua swept a cold glance at her son, completely ignoring Qin Mu, just staring icily and angrily at her precious boy.

Chengcheng lifted his eyes to look at Mu Yichen, a little expectant, but unsure if he could go.

In Chengcheng and Huanhuan’s hearts, they actually knew very well what they should do. Their parents and their grandparents all loved them, but they hoped more that Grandpa and Grandma could treat their mom and dad well—especially Mom. If Grandpa and Grandma couldn’t treat Mom well, couldn’t like Mom, then they had to give up Grandpa and Grandma’s side for Mom’s sake.

"Today the two of them..."

"Let them go!"

Mu Yichen had just been about to say they needed to go somewhere else, when Qin Mu, standing a step behind Feng Fanghua, suddenly spoke up, cutting him off.

Mu Yichen looked at her. Qin Mu pressed her lips together slightly, then walked over to his side. "Didn’t you say you wanted to go fishing with me down by the river today? Just let the two of them go play with the other kids."

Seeing what Qin Mu was thinking, Mu Yichen didn’t say anything more.

"So... Dad, can we go?"

Huanhuan was in Feng Fanghua’s arms. She turned her head toward Mu Yichen and asked cautiously—she still listened to her dad.

"If you two want to go, then go."

Mu Yichen, however, was listening to Qin Mu. Although during that stretch of time before, Qin Mu had mentioned several times not to stop the kids from being close to their grandparents and he hadn’t listened, today with Feng Fanghua coming over to the house, it was about time for the grandparents and grandkids to see each other.

"Yay! We can go to the wildlife park! Grandma, sit on the sofa and wait for me. My brother and I are going to change clothes!"

Huanhuan was so happy she almost jumped up, but didn’t forget her manners, tugging Feng Fanghua over to the sofa to sit.

Chengcheng shot upstairs after Huanhuan like a puff of smoke.

Mu Yichen turned his head. "I’ll go wash the bowls and chopsticks."

Qin Mu...

Qin Mu went to the kitchen and brought out a glass of plain water. Since those two siblings would be coming down soon, making tea or coffee wasn’t very realistic, so just a glass of water. In fact, Qin Mu knew Feng Fanghua definitely wouldn’t want to touch that glass of water.

When Feng Fanghua saw her coming over, she merely swept a faint glance at the glass on the table, then let out a cold snort. "What? This is your way of treating guests? Not even a cup of tea?"

Qin Mu...

"If you’d like tea, I’ll go brew some right now."

"No need! I’m leaving soon!"

Feng Fanghua immediately changed her tune again.

Qin Mu...

She knew she was the one being made things difficult for, and there was nothing she could do about it. Qin Mu remained standing to the side and didn’t sit. She’d heard that Feng Fanghua’s back had started hurting again a few days ago, so she asked, "Is your back still hurting? The back patches I gave you last time didn’t help?"

Only then did Feng Fanghua lift her eyes, giving her a cold look before turning her gaze elsewhere. "Just that little bit—can you tell whether it works or not?"

Qin Mu...

"I’ll find someone to send some more over right away, directly mailed to your house, okay?"

"Mm."

Feng Fanghua responded faintly, not even looking at her. But since she’d agreed, Qin Mu could finally let out a breath.

She was just afraid she’d send them over only to get slapped in the face for it.

By the time Mu Yichen finished tidying up the kitchen, Feng Fanghua had already left with the two little devils. Qin Mu shut the door and turned around, only to see Mu Yichen standing there in front of her, smiling at her like he was watching a show.

Qin Mu shot him a cold look as well, heading for the sofa as she spoke. "Your mom leaves and then you come out—you’re really getting more and more impressive, huh."

"I just finished cleaning the kitchen, didn’t I?"

Mu Yichen followed her over, arms crossed over his chest, moving lazily, and sat down in the single sofa next to hers.

Qin Mu picked up the glass of water Feng Fanghua hadn’t touched and drank it, then looked at him again. The more she looked, the more annoyed she felt. He was obviously deliberately staying out of sight—like she couldn’t tell?

"Want to go fishing?"

Seeing that she was mad, and given that it was finally the weekend and the weather was nice, he thought of the excuse she’d just used and brought it up again.

"No. I have to design a wedding dress."

Qin Mu turned him down glibly.

"You were just the one who said you wanted to go fishing. Come on, I’ll take you out to sea."

Qin Mu...

"Getting some fresh air might give you good inspiration."

"And what if I catch a cold from that fresh air?"

"If you catch a cold from it, I’ll take care of you."

"Not going."

"Not going?"

"Unless you beg me."
