Gu Qiwu’s gloomy and fierce expression greeted Doris’s sight, yet she did not seem worried at all. Instead, her exquisitely beautiful face broadened with a smile.
“You should think about how to deal with your problem with Mu Zi. Everyone’s probably talking about last night’s incident. You didn’t even dare acknowledge your own daughter. How dare you accuse wildly at me here?”
Pa!
Doris only felt a cool breeze graze the pain on her skin that had yet to fade from earlier when another burning ache came. The loud slap made her ears ring!
“Witch, shut up!”
Gu Qiwu returned those two slaps from last night hard. There were traces of blood at the corner of Doris’s lips as her beautiful face swelled and her messy blonde hair fell all over the place. Even in that sorry state, it could not conceal her outstanding beauty.
“Why do you think I did it? Witch? Who are you calling witch?”
Gu Qiwu was grinding his teeth!
As for Mu Zi and the rest, Doris should know very well what mattered most to him!
“Zixi has always known about your existence. When I asked for a breakup back then, she didn’t want to make things hard for us either. Shouldn’t you be deeply grateful for her? She was even willing to address you as ‘sister-in-law’ while she swallowed all of the pain herself. Now, she has to endure your name-calling. Doris, this is the last straw!”
Gu Qiwu was flipping out in anger now.
Upon hearing that, Doris immediately chuckled and looked at Gu Qiwu with ridicule in her eyes. She said with contempt, “What? Just a few words from me and already you’re hurt? Did you say you love me? How do you love me?! All these years, I was wondering why every time either the Mu family or Mu Zi are involved, you’d act so weirdly! That night six years ago, when you knew that Mu Lingtian had come along with Mu Yuchen, no wonder you looked so flustered. I think I began to suspect things from that moment on!”
“Gu Qiwu, don’t always talk about how much you care for me. If you could’ve done that to Mu Zi, would there ever be such thing as true love from you? I do hate Mu Zi, but I also pity her and even find it tragic. From the start, I could already feel that you and Qi Qiming treated her in a special way. Unfortunately, I didn’t believe much of it then. Otherwise...hmph!” Doris scoffed.
Her pale face was covered in hostility. She wiped away the blood on the corner of her lips and endured the pain from all over her body as she breathed in. “And do you dare to promise that when you married me, it was solely because of me? Don’t lie to yourself now. Even if you and Mu Zi wanted to get together, it wouldn’t have been easy, and you probably cared about my background more. Gu Qiwu, I’m not such a brainless woman. I grew up in environments like this. I’m not Mu Zi who knew nothing because she was overprotected by the Mu family. She was so innocent that she was brainless. Do you think you deserve to talk about love? Don’t make me laugh at you, alright?”
Gu Qiwu was stunned while that stern face of his was as dark as the bottom of a pot. “You arrogant woman! Cruel and shameless women like you won’t understand! It was you who eroded all the feelings I had for you bit by bit. All these years, you should know best if I’ve been true to you! From now on, you’d best behave and stay right here. Don’t think about going anywhere!”
Gu Qiwu held Doris by her hand and coldly threatened before he let go of her hard. Without a second look at her, he turned to leave the ward!
Bam!
The door was slammed loudly and Doris jumped at the sound.
Doris bit on her pale lip and looked up at the tightly shut door, yet there was a sneer across her lips. She reached out to touch her flattened belly while her blue eyes glimmered with a cold light!
Shasha...
No, it was Mu Lingshi!
She would pay the price!
Doris had waited so long for this child.
Who would have thought...?
When she thought about this, a chill settled on Doris’s face again. She could not care less about how she looked at the moment. A sinister sharpness flashed in her eyes.
...
Indeed as expected, the incident from the night before made it to the papers the next morning. Even the television was reporting about it everywhere!
Inside the quiet Maple Residence, when Mu Yuchen woke up, Xi Xiaye was gone, but the sweet scent of hers covered the entire room. She rarely woke up earlier than him, but his slumber did feel quite nice. He slept without dreams and slept very well.
It had been a while since he had such quality sleep, especially these past few days. After Wang Hui passed away, he had actually never let go. That was a grandmother that he loved deeply, an elder that had been the best to him, so how could he have so easily let it go?
However, he could only endure this because he had to be strong for everyone to walk out of this haziness together.
He thought about it, then slowly pulled his blanket away. He took the pajamas on the side and put it on, got off the bed, and then walked to the bathroom.
When he reached the bathroom, the water was ready. Mu Yuchen had just taken off his bathing robe and was ready to take a bath when suddenly he seemed to hear something at the door. He thought it was Xiaye, so he simply put on some clothes and opened the door.
“Mm-hmm—”
The door had just opened when a soft little bun walked towards Mu Yuchen!
In shock, Mu Yuchen quickly bent down to pick up the clothes behind the little bun and picked him up!
“Wah ee!”
Who else could that little figure be but Mu Xiaocheng?
When he realized that he was in his father’s arms, the little guy even began to giggle while flailing his hands all around.
“Son, why are you here? Where’s your mother?”
Mu Yuchen raised his brows in surprise. He looked outside and did not see Xi Xiaye. When he saw that the little guy had already reached out to put his arms around his neck, he pinched the boy’s soft and cute little face as a heartwarming smile flashed on his face.
“Alright then, since you’re in such a mood, take a bath with me then.”
The bathroom was warm and it was a sunny day, so he was not worried that the little guy would catch a cold.
Then, Mu Yuchen turned around to take off the little guy’s clothes before carrying him into the bathtub.
Once Mu Xiaocheng was bathed in the water, he immediately got excited. His gem-like eyes were bright as he began to babble unintelligible things while he played around with Mu Yuchen.
