Chapter 2162: Chapter 626: Reunion After a Year (Part 3)
Mu Yichen’s eyes couldn’t leave her frail face anymore, his hand gently closed the document: "Isn’t this our great designer! It’s been so long!"
He leaned slightly against the back of the chair, squinting at her with a half-smiling expression, inscrutable.
"If Mu General Manager doesn’t mind, you can call me Miss Qin, but I’m not here for a nostalgic chat!"
Qin Mu could hear the sarcasm in his words, but she had long stopped caring. When they met like this now, whatever they said to each other was just mockery.
"Miss Qin? Fine! Then may I ask what brings Miss Qin to suddenly visit, no, barge into my office?"
Mu Yichen clasped his hands together, glancing at her with some intrigue.
In the spacious office, the atmosphere suddenly turned quite strange, as if it was angular, making the air hard to navigate, yet infinitely mysterious, inviting exploration.
"Daddy!"
Chengcheng suddenly appeared at the door.
Mu Yichen’s gaze finally shifted from Qin Mu’s face, looking at the little one slowly striding in from the door.
He knew it, how could Qin Mu just come back on a whim, could it simply be an excuse to see him?
Obviously, this little rascal Mu Chengyang was stirring things up.
"Did you bring her back?"
Mu Yichen asked Chengcheng coldly.
Chengcheng walked to Qin Mu’s side, glanced at Qin Mu, and then nodded firmly.
Mu Yichen suddenly frustratingly looked out the window: "Don’t think because you have some fame or connections you can fight me for the children. If you’re here for this, I suggest seeing them briefly and then leaving!"
Qin Mu laughed lightly, then took Chengcheng’s hand and walked to him.
"To take them away, I probably don’t need any connections. My legal knowledge doesn’t match Mu General Manager’s, so I want to ask, if a child is abused by a stepmother, does the law reassign them to their biological mother?"
Qin Mu’s speech suddenly became less confrontational, very gently, squatting beside Chengcheng next to his chair, rolling up his sleeve.
Mu Yichen frowned, felt the words were odd, and turned his head to see his son’s arm, held by her gentle hands, was covered in bruises, immediately he lost the earlier impulsivity, only steadied and asked Chengcheng: "What happened here?"
Chengcheng dared not speak, only timidly hid behind Qin Mu.
Qin Mu squatted there and glanced at Mu Yichen, seeing him seem genuinely worried about his son, slowly stood up.
"Asking now is too late, Chengcheng’s been hurt for days and why didn’t you as the father know anything? Yet you demand I do not see them again? You speak of them only receiving the best care in the Mu Family, is this your best care?"
Qin Mu eventually lost her temper, shouted at him.
Mu Yichen was even more displeased: "We haven’t clarified the situation, why yell?"
"Why am I yelling? Can’t I yell? A whole year, Mu Yichen, you..."
She gritted her teeth, eyes brimming with tears, but refused to let them fall, thus she dared not speak further, fearing tears would flow once she opened her mouth.
Mu Yichen sitting in the chair glanced at the little one hiding behind her: "Mu Chengyang, you should leave for now!"
"Okay!"
Chengcheng knew he couldn’t stay like this, immediately agreed and walked out.
As soon as Chengcheng left, Qin Mu turned her head, walked out from behind his desk, with her back facing him.
Mu Yichen stood up from the chair, pulled out a tissue, and also walked out, beside her, handed the tissue.
Qin Mu glanced at it, but neither took it nor acknowledged it, turned to look at the window, only raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
"I want to take them to Paris."
She stubbornly stated her demand.
"No way!"
Even if he could offer her a tissue, even if he could speak without so much pretense, he still wouldn’t let her take the children.
"Then let me ask you, do you intend to have that woman live with them? You’ve seen Chengcheng’s bruises, can you bear..."
"Xiaoyi is a good girl, she wouldn’t do such things. It’s probably Chengcheng fabricating a reason to see you, looking at his injury, it should be him finding an excuse."
"That’s how you think?"
Qin Mu listened to him speak so calmly, as if he witnessed his son self-inflicted injuries, determined that that girl Xiaoyi is a good girl...
Really...
Qin Mu couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: "I suppose there’s no point saying anything to you now? You trust others over your own son."
Unexplainably, a bitterness arose in her heart, Qin Mu looked at him, only feeling their past was a dream, a long and unreal dream.
He once could love her, he later could love someone else.
However he loved her before, he could love others the same way.
Xiaoyi is a good girl!
"Maybe soon you’ll have another child, and by then you can’t care for both Chengcheng and Huanhuan. No stepmother will care for your ex’s kids, why don’t you give them to me? Consider it me owing you a favor, how about it?"
Qin Mu kept pondering, the more she thought, the more terrifying it seemed, when he marries that Xiaoyin and has children, what if he, like her father back in the day, mercilessly sends Chengcheng and Huanhuan away, not necessarily to Paris but somewhere else.
Qin Mu couldn’t help but choke, not knowing how to change the bitter feeling inside, just suddenly calmed down, patiently spoke with him.
Xiaohao said to speak nicely to him.
His temper didn’t allow her much indulgence, the more obstinate she was, the less he took her seriously.
"Owe me a favor? What could I possibly need from you? Last year before you left, you promised Grandfather to grant me three conditions, yet not a single one was fulfilled."
When Mu Yichen spoke his eyes lowered, with a hint of disappointment, but when he looked at her again, it disappeared.
