Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love

Chapter 432 - 215. The woman Mu Jinqian brought back to the Mu Family is Qingqing’s biological mother.

Mu Jin Huan’s calm black eyes showed not a hint of ripple, his voice faint, "What happened at home?"The butler hesitated greatly but did not dare to conceal anything, "The eldest young master went out in the middle of the night last night and only returned at six in the morning, bringing a woman with him, claiming... claiming she is Miss Qingqing’s biological mother."

The gentle and jade-like eldest son of the Mu Family, disliked commerce; even when the Mu Family was facing a huge financial crisis nearing bankruptcy, he did not intervene.

After returning from studying abroad, he has been working at Renmin Hospital, recruiters kept approaching him, but he never accepted.

Everyone says Director Mu is loyal and righteous, and since he took over from his mentor, he wouldn’t abandon his position midway for fame and fortune.

In Qing City, very few people knew that Mu Jinqian had a five-year-old daughter; everyone thought he was a privileged golden bachelor.

Even Nan Wan was unclear whether he had divorced or had never been married all along.

Tugging at the hem of the man’s suit jacket, she softly asked, "Or should we come back in the afternoon?"

"It’s fine," Mu Jin Huan withdrew the arm around the woman’s waist, took her hand instead, his chiseled features remaining calm, instructed the butler, "Open the door."

"Okay."

The butler nodded and complied promptly, closing the door after the two entered the house.

As he turned around, he put on a very serious expression.

Consciously lowering his voice, "Everyone has been at the Mu Family for many years, don’t you know Madam Mu’s temper? Curiosity kills the cat; don’t spy on what you shouldn’t hear or see, or you’ll suffer the consequences!"

The servants lowered their heads, responding, "Yes."

...

The atmosphere in the living room was very stiff.

Mu Libei and Cheng Shihong sat on the sofa, both looking displeased, a slender woman stood next to Mu Jinqian, but from just the back view, one could guess her beauty.

Their hands were held tightly together.

Nan Wan, like before, naturally addressed them, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother."

Cheng Shihong still wore a stern face, only responded faintly upon hearing Nan Wan’s voice, it was Mu Libei who broke the awkwardness, "Why are you two here so early, have you had breakfast?"

Mu Jin Huan said indifferently, "We’ve eaten. Wanwan and I are here to pick up Mu Yan."

"Yan’er is sleeping upstairs in the room. You two have a seat and wait a bit, the nanny will bring him down when he wakes up."

Nan Wan nodded, "Oh, okay."

Though she responded, she did not move.

Mu Jinqian turned with the woman next to him, looking at the two, his handsome face as gentle as ever, "Mu Huan, Nan Wan, this is Lu Yao, you can call her sister-in-law."

A name with a very classical charm.

Delicate and gentle features, yet carrying a hint of allure, she could remain composed even in such an oppressively tense environment.

She winked at Nan Wan, extended her hand, "Hello."

Nan Wan smiled politely, yet before she could extend her hand in return, a cold voice rang out in the living room, "What sister-in-law?"

It came from Cheng Shihong, who had been silent, her gaze sharp, tone serious, "Did your father and I agree?"

Lu Yao, seemingly unwilling to make things difficult for Nan Wan, retracted her hand without a hint of awkwardness.

Mu Jinqian, with his back to his mother, showed no ripple in his gentle brow, only tightened his grip on Lu Yao’s hand.

His voice was calm yet firm, "Lu Yao and I got married six years ago. Is there a problem with Mu Huan and Nan Wan calling her sister-in-law?"

So, they were already married.

Nan Wan had never seen this side of Mu Jinqian; clearly gentle in demeanor, yet giving the impression he stood in a frosty world, draped with frost.

"You hid such a big thing as marriage from me for six years!" Cheng Shihong struggled to breathe, closing her eyes as she rubbed her chest with her palm, "If you don’t completely sever ties with this woman, then don’t count on me as your mother!"

"Just as well, I was planning to move out," Mu Jinqian chuckled lowly, as if Cheng Shihong’s threat had no effect on him, "Lu Yao doesn’t like living with too many people."

Cheng Shihong never expected that her usually mild-mannered eldest son would speak to her this way for a woman of dubious character.

Upset, her eyes reddened, she grabbed the teacup in front of her and hurled it, "Then get out! If you have the guts, never come back!"

Mu Libei patted his wife’s back, helping her calm down, "Look at you, why can’t you talk properly?"

Cheng Shihong held her forehead, breathing unsteadily, "No need to say more, let him leave."

The teacup shattered at Mu Jinqian’s feet, tea stains gradually marking his black shoes.

"The timing and situation aren’t right," he remained unaffected, "Lu Yao and I will leave first. We’ll have dinner together another day. I’ll properly introduce her to you then."

Mu Jin Huan moved aside with Nan Wan, giving way, replying faintly, "Mm."

Before Lu Yao left with Mu Jinqian, she smiled at them, "See you next time."

How to describe her smile...

Like a breeze in spring, yet more like a blazing flame.

---------

After waiting downstairs for half an hour, the nanny finally brought the awakened Mu Yan downstairs.

Cheng Shihong’s old headache flared up, so she rested in her room, while Mu Libei walked them to the door, the wind was a bit strong, and Nan Wan got into the car first with their son.

Mu Libei patted Mu Jin Huan’s shoulder, "Don’t overthink it, it wasn’t aimed at you and Nan Wan."

Mu Jin Huan’s stern, sharp features showed little emotion, his voice indifferent, "Big Brother isn’t young anymore, Qingqing needs a mother’s love too. Now that they’re back and their marriage exists, there’s no need for everyone to be unhappy."

Back then, when he brought Nan Wan here, even though Madam Mu didn’t tell her to get lost, the situation wasn’t much better than today.

Mu Libei sighed, "Ah, you don’t know, that Lu Yao used to be a mistress, almost everyone in the circle knows her."

But five years ago, she vanished without a trace in Qing City, leaving no sign, slowly fading from the men’s conversations.

Mu Jin Huan’s expression remained unchanged, only saying, "Big Brother has waited for her for so many years, he must have his reasons."

His voice was calm, as if what was just said meant nothing, or perhaps he hadn’t heard it at all.

...

In the car.

Nan Wan played with the child in her arms, sighing softly, "Truly a rare beauty, no wonder the endlessly charming Director Mu remained faithful for her."

Wandering between the scent of lilies and red roses, probably not many like her in the entertainment circle.

Mu Jin Huan, while steering, cast a sidelong, meaningful glance at the woman, "Does Big Brother’s fidelity surprise you?"

His leisurely tone was filled with a sense of danger.
