CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 449: JEALOUS?

Mu Yunlie asked, "What mall?"

Yan Qianyi said, "I cured Grandpa’s leg ailment, and he said he wants to give me a mall."

Mu Yunlie nodded.

Such a huge gift, Little Money Fan must be very happy, right?

Since Old Master Mu was so sincere, he decided to retract what he had just said. As long as it made his little money fan happy, that was fine.

Seeing that Mu Yunlie did not insist on leaving, Old Master Mu quickly ordered, "Huaner, quickly take Qianyi back to the room to rest."

Mu Huaner asked, "Are we going to rest in the main house, or... go back to Third Brother’s place?"

Old Master Mu didn’t answer; instead, he looked at Mu Yunlie, unsure if he was still willing to return to the building where the third household resided.

After all, that place held painful memories for him.

Mu Huaner said, "Ah Lie, the place you all lived in these past years has been empty, Grandpa had someone clean it every day, just hoping that one day you would return and have somewhere to stay."

"There’s no need for little aunt to show us the way," Mu Yunlie said, taking Yan Qianyi’s hand and walking away.

Seeing him head towards the building of the third household, Old Master Mu smiled with relief.

His eldest grandson was finally willing to come home.

Mu Huaner also wore a face of relief.

She had also been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Yan Qianyi asked Mu Yunlie, "Are we going to the place where you lived as a child in the Mu Family?"

"Yes," Mu Yunlie nodded.

Seeing that he didn’t seem like he wanted to talk, Yan Qianyi asked again, "Are you unhappy?"

"Why would I be unhappy?"

"I feel something is off with your mood; a woman’s sixth sense is never wrong," Yan Qianyi asked, "Do you think I’m too greedy or too materialistic, and that’s why you’re unhappy? When Grandpa said he would give me the mall, I did genuinely try to refuse it at first, but he insisted on giving it, it wasn’t something I asked for."

Mu Yunlie stopped walking and took her hands, "Whatever he wants to give, let him give; as long as you’re happy, just accept it. I’m not unaware that you’re a money fan."

"I really am a money fan, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way."

Mu Yunlie helplessly nodded, "Yes, yes, you have principles."

"Then why do I feel like your mood is a bit off?" Yan Qianyi looked puzzled.

She had felt it back in the study.

Mu Yunlie pinched Yan Qianyi’s nose tip, "You’re very sensitive."

Yan Qianyi felt slightly embarrassed and tugged at the corner of her mouth, "You... bringing this up in broad daylight..."

Each time in bed, he would nibble on her ears and tell her she was very sensitive.

Her body was indeed very sensitive to his touch.

He could always easily make her tremble all over.

"What are you thinking? I didn’t mean it that way; I meant that you’re sensitive to feelings, I can’t hide even a little mood from you."

"Oh..." Yan Qianyi awkwardly smoothed her hair.

Turns out she was overthinking...

She asked, "So what really caused you to suddenly become moody?"

Mu Yunlie looked at her abdomen, "You can have whatever you want, I can give it to you. I originally despised the Mu Family fortune, but if you like, I can fight for it for you. I just don’t like including the child in this; the Mu Family people really are capable of anything, and now that you’ve revealed the child’s existence, I fear it could be dangerous."

Yan Qianyi was momentarily stunned, then finally understood and smiled, "So, you thought I was trying to fight for the inheritance by letting Grandpa discover my pregnancy?"

"Isn’t that so?"

"Of course not!" Yan Qianyi said earnestly, "I didn’t intentionally let Grandpa find out about my pregnancy. It’s just that when I left the house, I forgot to change into something looser, and it was so hot in the study that wearing a coat made it inconvenient to treat Grandpa."

"Besides, about the Mu Family’s wealth, I was just joking with you. I can make my own money! I just think, if Grandpa insists on making you the heir, then of course we shouldn’t turn it down."

Mu Yunlie said, "Then I misunderstood..."

Yan Qianyi pretended to be angry and pouted.

"So in your heart, I’m such a scheming woman that for the sake of competing for an inheritance, I would even use the unborn baby."

"Don’t talk nonsense, you know that’s not what I meant. I’m just worried..."

"Hmph!" Yan Qianyi turned away, "I’m angry!"

The kind that couldn’t be easily soothed.

Mu Yunlie walked around to face her, coaxing, "Even if you are scheming, I still love you."

Yan Qianyi crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows at him, "So, even if I’m a bad woman, you still love me?"

"Love, no matter how you are, I really do love you!"

He was really scared of her getting angry now.

Afraid that she might take the baby and leave him again.

Seeing his anxious expression, Yan Qianyi held back a smile, "So, you still think I’m a bad woman, huh?"

Mu Yunlie paused.

"You said you’d love me even if I were a bad woman. Doesn’t that mean you think I am one?"

"I..." Mu Yunlie was at a loss for words. How had his explanation made things worse?

He frowned, frantically trying to think of how to clear things up when he suddenly sharply noticed a hint of a smile on Yan Qianyi’s lips.

He then realized she was teasing him.

He laughed sheepishly and pinched her nose, "You really scared me just now with that little trick. I thought you were hurt."

Yan Qianyi blinked innocently, "What trick did I just play?"

Mu Yunlie said, "Mu Zixuan doesn’t have any Combat Power, and her Spiritual Power Value is just average. How could she push you to the ground? You must have noticed the Old Master coming and did it on purpose."

"I... I was just caught off guard. I was seriously picking flowers, and she suddenly ambushed me."

Mu Yunlie smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, you were ambushed."

Seeing that he clearly didn’t believe her, Yan Qianyi stopped pretending, "Indeed, it was intentional. I usually don’t meddle in other’s affairs, but I just can’t stand Mu Zixuan."

A daughter born from a mistress, yet daring to flaunt her power in front of the legitimate daughter.

Stealing someone’s man and then failing to keep him, yet still having the audacity to flaunt in front of the victim.

Just like Yan Ruyi, such despicable scum.

If this happened in the otherworld, she would have been dragged off and dunked in a pig cage long ago.

"Every time I play little tricks, you see through them. Can you see through other women when they do the same in front of you?" Yan Qianyi asked.

In front of Mu Yunlie, playing the innocent is really tough.

I must admit, I’m far behind Ning Nuan in skill in this field. She’s evaded Ah Lie’s notice for so many years, truly impressive!"

Mu Yunlie responded without hesitation, "Of course."

"Believe you? No way." Yan Qianyi muttered under her breath, "You don’t even notice the top-level green tea by your side."

"Are you talking about Nuannuan?"

Tsk Tsk, still Nuannuan, he sounds so familiar.

Mu Yunlie leaned in slightly, tilting his head as he looked at her closely, "Jealous?"

Yan Qianyi turned her head away, "No, I don’t like being jealous, I like spicy food."
