Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 2049 - 474: Doing Everything Possible to Have a Child (Part 2)

Mu Wan was a bit dazed, and after a long pause, she involuntarily spoke, "Qin Mu... are you regretting marrying me... do you still have Jian Ran in your heart, so... you don’t want to have children with me because of Jian Ran?"Mu Wan’s voice was very low, trembling intensely, as if each word was painfully forced out of her mouth.

Unless absolutely necessary, Mu Wan clearly did not want to bring up old matters.

A woman’s lack of confidence, especially when she’s feeling hurt, inevitably led Mu Wan to have wild thoughts.

Otherwise... Mu Wan really couldn’t think of any reason to convince herself.

Throughout her youthful years, she had always been looking up to him...

She had always secretly cared for him...

She never thought any of it would result in blooming outcomes; everything now, she once thought was just a beautiful dream... it took her a long time after marriage to slowly get used to it.

"Xiaowan, what are you talking nonsense about?"

Mu Wan was scolded by Qin Mu, and she could see the man’s large hands gripping her shoulders, exerting slight pressure, she could almost see the bulging veins on the back of his hand.

Mu Wan: "..."

What nonsense?

Mu Wan’s eyes froze, and hearing the man’s words, she hoarsely said, "Qin Mu, I understand you, you are very filial to your grandfather, obeying his words completely... for this matter, the old man almost begged you, yet you didn’t give in... and I have... asked you more than once, but your attitude is still such... then... I ask you, apart from Jian Ran, I really can’t think of any other reason."

Mu Wan felt more envy towards Jian Ran... jealousy... but no hatred at all.

Jian Ran was the kind of woman any woman would want to become, independent, self-reliant, bright...

So, even if I was a man, I would like Qin Mu as well...

Jian Ran didn’t deceive Qin Mu’s feelings; it was purely Qin Mu’s wishful thinking.

Moreover, since getting to know Jian Ran well, Mu Wan could feel the good character of the woman.

In conclusion... Mu Wan really liked Jian Ran.

So, even if today’s reason was actually Jian Ran, she wouldn’t be angry in the slightest.

She would just feel a bit sad and emotional... thinking Qin Mu had long moved on when in fact, it was all her own self-deception.

Qin Mu: "..."

Shit!

Do I really need to dig out my heart for Mu Wan to understand?

Qin Mu gazed deeply at the woman in front of him, his large hands exerting force on her shoulders, taking a deep breath, and spoke seriously, "Xiaowan, don’t overthink, it has nothing to do with Jian Ran, it’s just that I simply want to enjoy our time as a couple, and for now, I don’t want children. Don’t let grandfather, mom, and dad give you any pressure, I’ll take care of it."

Mu Wan: "..."

Qin Mu’s dark eyes were solemn, extremely serious, and his earnest manner made Mu Wan’s heart a bit disoriented,

Can Qin Mu’s words be trusted?

Because... she really couldn’t find any reason... to tell herself why Qin Mu wouldn’t want a child.

Both remained silent, as time slipped away bit by bit.

In the end, it was Qin Mu who first conceded, reaching out to test the water in the bathtub, finding it already a bit cold.

"You go rest in the room for a bit, the water in the bathtub has gone cold, you’ll catch a chill, I’ll change it."

"Okay."

Mu Wan felt the two of them were having a cold war.

Since Qin Mu said so, Mu Wan didn’t say much more, and feeling dejected, she walked towards the bedroom, turning away with eyes filled with mist.

...

Qin Mu took a deep look at the woman’s departing silhouette, a dull pain flickering in his heart...

Several times he wanted to speak to persuade and coax her, but he held back each time.

He could make concessions on anything regarding Mu Wan, but not on this issue...

...

Qin Mu refilled the bathtub with hot water, originally hoping for a romantic bath shared by the two of them in a tub apartment, but in the end, it was only Mu Wan left in the bathroom to bathe.

Mu Wan worried that Qin Mu would see her eyes red, so she kept her head down from beginning to end, not letting the man see her face.

Originally coming to a romantic island, with exquisite ocean views, Mu Wan wanted to enjoy herself a bit and have a nice bath, but clearly today, she wasn’t interested in the least.

Mu Wan quickly finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, not seeing any trace of Qin Mu, she paused and searched around, finally seeing the man’s tall figure standing on the balcony.

The man’s right hand still held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers.

Mu Wan pursed her lips, recalling that Qin Mu hadn’t smoked in a long time.
