Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 2044 - 472: Let’s Have a Child_3

Moreover... he finally spoke up, but Qin Mu hasn’t conceded in the slightest after all this time.When it comes to himself and the old man, Qin Mu has always been accommodating.

But with this particular matter, Mu Wan truly cannot fathom why...

Mu Wan’s gaze froze for a moment, just as she was about to say something, Qin Mu had already wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and then the man’s playful words sounded by her ear.

"After a whole morning on the plane, you must be tired. Want something to eat? I’ll get it for you. And by the way, darling, why don’t you take Cubao to Ran Niu? The little guy is hungry too..."

"Okay."

Mu Wan nodded, knowing full well that Qin Mu was intentionally changing the topic, yet she chose not to expose him directly.

"Good girl..."

Qin Mu pinched his wife’s fair cheek, narrowing his dark eyes as he gazed at Mu Wan’s hesitant expression.

...

At the wedding banquet, everyone busied themselves while enjoying the view of the sea.

After everyone finished their lunch, Gu Mochen arranged for a private yacht to go out for some fishing and snorkeling.

Hua Nuan was particularly fond of such extreme sports, the only regret was not bringing Xiaobai along.

Qin Mu knew his wife was not in the best mood today, so he entrusted Hua Nuan to take good care of her.

With Hua Nuan’s encouragement, she took Mu Wan to enjoy the beauty of the sea and the sky, and took her snorkeling to see the underwater scenery...

Under Hua Nuan’s guidance, Mu Wan’s spirits began to lift gradually.

...

Meanwhile, Jian Ran held Little Cubao in her arms, and Gu Mochen held Tang Bao as they enjoyed the sea view together.

It’s really beautiful...

Gu Mochen raised his hand to pull Jian Ran into his embrace, a smile curling at his lips. When he bought this island back then, he had also purchased the surrounding sea area.

It was all so the family could enjoy easy travels in the future.

Old Mr. Qin and Jian Anguo were too old to move around easily, so they stayed at the villa with Qin’s parents to prepare dinner.

As for this wedding, it didn’t need to be grand or magnificent. The greatest happiness was having the family gather together and enjoy this familial bliss.

...

At nightfall:

After admiring the breathtaking sea view, everyone returned to the villa to find the dining table in the European-style hall laden with a variety of delectable dishes.

Jian Ran changed into another Western-style evening gown and joined everyone in enjoying the delicious food.

Old Mr. Qin sat at the head of the table and couldn’t help but say, "Ran Niu, I personally made this Mapo tofu today. Give it a taste."

"Okay, if it’s made by the old man, it must be good, definitely delicious..."

"You little girl, always sweet-talking."

Although Old Mr. Qin complained, he was eagerly anticipating Jian Ran’s feedback.

"It’s really good... Old man, you’ve still got it."

In fact, it was a bit salty...

But it was still very tasty.

Jian Ran couldn’t praise Old Mr. Qin’s cooking enough. The old man, being older, simply enjoyed being flattered.

"Not bad, not bad, this girl from Mochen’s family really knows how to talk. You all should eat more."

Upon Old Mr. Qin’s instructions, everyone immediately picked up their spoons to scoop up the tofu.

As for the old man’s Mapo tofu, one had to give it some face no matter what.

Since Jian Ran was breastfeeding Little Cubao, she couldn’t eat overly salty food, so after eating a few bites she downed several glasses of water.

Old Mr. Qin looked at the family gathered together, feeling an indescribable warmth in his heart.

Good... truly good.

Seeing everyone doing so well, his heart was genuinely content.

The old man gently set his wine glass down and spoke, "Ran Niu, as long as you and Mochen continue to live well together, I can be at ease. In this lifetime, I have three grandsons, and you are my only granddaughter."

Marriage is a big deal...

It’s a lifelong matter.

Jian Ran understood the old man was emotional, so she smiled and took the initiative to say, "Grandpa... thank you."

"Hmph, we’re family, no thanks needed."

Old Mr. Qin happily raised his glass again and downed it in one go, while Qin’s father and mother couldn’t help but urge, "Dad, don’t drink too much, take care of your health."

"No worries, I’m happy today, and you can’t get drunk on happiness wine."

Everyone chuckled softly, as the old man continued with emotion, "The matter that weighed on my heart is now settled. Now, there’s only Qin San and Xiaowan left."

Qin Mu’s expression subtly changed; there was no need to guess what the old man wanted to say.

Mu Wan also pursed her lips slightly, knowing full well that the old man, already well into his eighties, was truly anxious.

Back when Qin Mu married her, it was all because the old man coerced him...

"Old man, you see, you’ve had too much to drink and started to speak nonsense. What is there for you to worry about between Xiaowan and me? Come on, let’s not talk about it, just eat some more."

Qin Mu had a roguish yet alluring smile on his lips as he stood up to serve Old Mr. Qin some dishes.

The old man snorted, clearly not satisfied at all.

"You little brat, don’t try to fool me. I won’t eat the food you serve; I’d rather eat the food Xiaowan serves."

Mu Wan, hearing the old man’s words, immediately stood up to serve him some food, softly saying.

"Grandpa, let me serve you some food..."

Old Mr. Qin, seeing how considerate Mu Wan was, finally smiled contentedly and happily ate the dishes served by his granddaughter-in-law.

"Good, good, good..."

Everyone thought the old man was done, but then he spoke earnestly to Qin Mu.

"Qin San, Xiaowan, today is Mochen and Ran Niu’s wedding, and with the whole family here, Grandpa wants to ask you and Xiaowan... when are you planning to have a child? It’s not that I’m pressing you, but... my heart is longing for it."

"Besides, I’m a person with one foot in the grave now, and this is my only remaining wish... then this life would have no regrets."

Out of the three grandsons, Qin Mu was the most cherished; Qin Mu made him worry the most.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Qin Mu pursed his lips, a trace of sadness flickering in his dark eyes.

Mu Wan felt even more pressured.

The old man was not getting any younger and always had Qin Mu in his thoughts.

It was evident just how much he loved him.

Mu Wan clenched her small hand and placed it on Qin Mu’s large hand, her eyes signaling him to agree with the old man’s words, but unexpectedly, Qin Mu pressed his thin lips and said.

"There’s no rush for now."
