Chapter 009: Am I That Dirty in Your Eyes?
"Do I need to put on an act when I'm holding my own wife?"
Mu Shaochen was quite unserious, and even less cooperative.
As he spoke, his other hand clasped her head, and he bent down in search of her lips.
A minute later.
He tasted a metallic sweetness.
His lips had been bitten by Qin Wan.
"Why don't you belong to a dog?"
Mu Shaochen touched his bitten lip, his gaze darkened as he looked at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows and sneered coldly, "If you don't respect me, why can't I treat you like a dog and bite you?"
"..."
Mu Shaochen was directly provoked into laughter.
He had always known this woman had a sharp tongue.
"You're saying I'm a dog?"
"If the shoe fits, I can't stop you from wearing it."
Seeing that he had let go of her, Qin Wan quickly changed her shoes and left.
Back in her room upstairs, she locked the door and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
What the actual relationship between Mu Shaochen and Su Qing was, Qin Wan didn't want to know.
But the fact that he stayed out all night to be with Su Qing was true.
Just the thought of Mu Shaochen being with Su Qing in some way made her feel sick.
She brushed once.
She was preparing to brush a second time.
Outside, Mu Shaochen was knocking on the door like a death knell.
As soon as Qin Wan opened the door.
Mu Shaochen's gaze fell on the water droplets at the corner of her mouth, and a slash of cold light swept through his narrow eyes.
Suddenly he pulled her into his arms and leaned over.
Before he could kiss her lips, he ground his teeth and asked, "Qin Wan, do you have to brush your teeth right after I kiss you? Do I seem that dirty to you?"
"..."
"Your mother is also over there taking care of Aqing. Do you think I would sleep with her?"
"Don't mention her to me; I'm not interested in what's going on between you two."
Qin Wan suddenly yelled at Mu Shaochen.
Thinking of what Qin Shumei had told her that day, a place in her heart suddenly ached, she pursed her lips and turned to walk into the room.
Mu Shaochen's handsome brows slightly furrowed.
He had known Qin Wan for so many years.
He keenly sensed that the emotion she had just expressed wasn't because of his relationship with Su Qing.
It was because of Qin Shumei.
Her biological mother.
All of a sudden, he suppressed the anger he felt at being considered dirty.
He closed the door and followed her to the sofa.
He picked up a small cat pillow from the sofa and stuffed it into the arms of the newly seated Qin Wan, his lips curling as he said, "Grandma called earlier asking us to come over for lunch tomorrow."
Qin Wan looked up at him.
Mu Shaochen's handsome brows lifted slightly, his sculpted features shone with a layer of light, dazzling.
Handsome enough to dazzle one's mind.
"You're free tomorrow, right?"
He asked again.
As if nothing unpleasant had happened just before.
Qin Wan nodded, mentioning Grandma Mu, she looked a bit better, "I'm free."
Grandma Mu was one of the kindest people to her, aside from her brother and a few friends.
Even more so than her father, her mother.
She had agreed to marry Mu Shaochen not only because she was desperate to save her brother.
Perhaps there was also a slight part of her that coveted the warmth of Grandma Mu.
"Then, tomorrow we'll go pick a gift first. Grandma always praises how thoughtful your gifts are, whereas mine just cost money. From now on, you'll choose the gifts for Grandma," he said.
Mu Shaochen observed the changes in her expression subtly.
Seeing that she was calm, the smile at the corner of his mouth became one degree more genuine.
His deep-set eyes also gained a hint of a smile.
Such a man.
Never mind his fortune of hundreds of billions, controlling the lifeline of South City's economy.
Even if he were penniless, with such good looks, countless women would still fancy him.
So.
It was a given for Su Qing to like him.
Seeing Qin Wan looking at him.
Mu Shaochen carelessly mentioned, "Qin Zheng doesn't necessarily have to stay abroad for years to come back. It's just a temporary measure to avoid trouble. Once things settle down here, he can return."
