Chapter 1183: Chapter 1181: Love at First Sight with Qin Mu, a Lifelong Mistake (Part 2, 4/4)

In the bedroom:

Mu Wan dawdled in the bathroom for a while before shyly stepping out.

In the room, Qin Mu had already finished washing up in the adjacent room and was lying on the large bed.

The two locked eyes…

Mu Wan awkwardly looked away, her small hands entwined together, her long hair draped over her shoulders… and she wore the most conservative pajamas she could find.

Hmm…

The pajamas prepared by the Qin Family were all playful ones meant for young couples.

But the silky material felt so light on her, unlike her usual comfortable cotton pajamas she was used to.

The two sat silently, and Mu Wan lay on her side on the large bed, keeping a relatively safe distance from the man.

The old man had just insisted repeatedly for her to finish the walnut soup and the cordyceps lamb soup.

…

Mu Wan quietly lay on the bed, closing her beautiful eyes, trying to fall asleep quickly, but sleep eluded her, and her heart was pounding.

So tense…

Mu Wan pursed her lips, cautiously opening her palm, finding it sweaty from tension.

Mu Wan: “…”

Visiting the Qin Family is truly torturous.

Qin Mu watched Mu Wan lie down on the bed and reached out to turn off the main light, plunging the once brightly lit room into dim darkness.

Only a few small lamps remained…

The man’s strong arm braced on her side, and Mu Wan looked up at the man in front of her, soon noticing the unusual flush and heat on Qin Mu’s handsome face.

What’s going on?

“Qin Mu…”

Mu Wan’s heart skipped a beat, as the man’s face loomed closer.

“Hmm?”

Qin Mu listened to her panic-stricken words, the corners of his thin lips twitching ever so slightly.

The turmoil within him had always been something he could suppress, but… everything changed as soon as Mu Wan stepped out of the bath.

“Why are you… so hot, are you sick?”

Mu Wan felt a hint of danger from the man, unable to resist asking softly.

In her words…

There was undeniable concern.

After all… love or not cannot be faked.

Qin Mu glanced deeply at the woman in front of him.

“Hmm…”

Mu Wan hadn’t expected him to kiss her again suddenly.

The last time, it was to check her heartbeat.

Then… what was it this time?

“Hmm…”

“Mu Wan, tonight, you can’t escape…”

Mu Wan: “…”

The man’s mischievous words echoed in her ears, leaving Mu Wan’s beautiful eyes wide… and then her face flushed deeply red, as his big hands released her own, freeing her hands bound above her head.

But… her hands weren’t idle for long.

Qin Mu, watching the woman beneath him, leaned close to her ear, and whispered nonchalantly.

“Remember… I am your husband…”

Mu Wan’s beautiful eyes trembled…

…

Mu Wan was exhausted and drowsy…

Qin Mu looked at the woman before him, and with enchanting words said, “Mu Wan, at that time… why did you marry me?”

“I don’t know either…”

Mu Wan murmured softly, and then seemed to remember something, speaking hoarsely.

“Love at first sight… ruined a lifetime…”

A love at first sight… that ruined a lifetime, yet without any regret.

This was also… what Mu Wan had told herself countless times.

Mu Wan’s voice was soft, Qin Mu didn’t hear it clearly, only sensing the subtle trembling of Mu Wan’s beautiful eyes.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, very exquisite.

Moments later, when he heard the gentle breathing of the woman in his arms, Qin Mu realized Mu Wan was already asleep.

The corners of Qin Mu’s thin lips quirked slightly, indeed…

Seeing her sleep so soundly… he couldn’t bring himself to disturb her.

Qin Mu’s dark eyes slightly wavered…

He…

At the thought of this, a hint of darkness flashed in Qin Mu’s dark eyes…

No wonder… without Mu Wan voicing it, he couldn’t even fathom his own thoughts now.

Hmm…

Qin Mu realized, shit, he was feeling a bit lost.

Over the years, the unwavering belief seemed to waver because of Mu Wan…

…

When Mu Wan woke up the next morning, she found the room in a mess.

Everywhere… hinted at disorder.

Mu Wan raised a hand to rub her temples, feeling a bit fatigued.

Indeed…

So tired.

A hint of darkness flashed in Mu Wan’s beautiful eyes, a faint curve on her lips, and there was no sign of Qin Mu in the room anymore. Feeling utterly exhausted, she wrapped herself in a thin blanket and headed to the bathroom.

A simple wash… to wake herself up a little more.

…

When Mu Wan came out after taking a bath, the servants were tidying the room.

Mu Wan blushed at once, thinking about how the room was left so messy by her and Qin Mu last night…

“Good morning, young madam…”

“I can clean it up myself, no need to trouble you.”

“It’s all right… it’s what we should be doing.”

“It’s a bit messy… I’ll just do it myself next time.”

“Hehe, the messier, the better, right? So the master can have grandsons sooner.”

Mu Wan: “…”

The servant covered her mouth, chuckling, and Mu Wan’s beautiful eyes widened.

So, that’s what it meant.

A slight realization flickered in Mu Wan’s heart, and she shifted her gaze aside, saying nothing more.

“Hmm.”

Turns out… the servants tidying the room were also checking if she and Qin Mu were only putting on a show.

…

When Qin Mu walked into the room, Mu Wan was quietly sitting on the sofa, waiting for the servants to finish cleaning, wanting to help but being gently persuaded to stay seated by the servants.

Qin Mu furrowed his dark brows; his room had always been off-limits to outsiders.

He disliked anyone disturbing his room… disrupting his life.

“Who told you to come clean?”

“The lady…”

“Hmm… leave then…”

“Yes…”

The servants of the Qin Family were most afraid of offending Qin Mu, for if Qin Mu ever got angry, he’d be the Demon King, unrecognizably ruthless.

He was notoriously light-hearted and irreverent.

Qin Mu squinted his refined dark eyes… pursing his thin lips.

“From now on, without my permission, you cannot enter my bedroom at will, understand?”

“Yes, young master…”

Mu Wan watched Qin Mu flare up, his beautiful eyes wide…

It’s just cleaning, was it necessary… to get so angry?

…

After the servants left, Qin Mu paced over to Mu Wan, noticing her fair face looked a little pale, pursed his thin lips, and asked with concern, “Why not sleep a little more? Last night… you were exhausted.”
