Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Mu Wan Marries Qin San, 2nd Update (3)

After Mu Wan turned eighteen, she no longer took the living allowance that Wu Kun usually provided, relying instead on sketching to earn a living.

Mu Wan carefully selected fresh fruits and voluntarily brought them to Qin Old Master’s hospital room.

"Hello... Excuse me... May I come in?"

Qin Mu was peeling an apple for the Old Master in the hospital when he heard a cool and clean voice from outside the door. He looked up and saw Mu Wan’s figure standing there.

Qin Old Master, who was originally pretending to be unwell and lying weakly in the hospital bed, brightened up at the sight of Mu Wan’s youthful face framed by her simple white down jacket. His expression lit up with joy, and he excitedly called out.

"Ah, it’s Mu Wan, my dear child! Of course, you can come in... Come in and have a seat..."

Mu Wan: "..."

What a kind and warm old grandfather.

Hearing Qin Old Master’s greeting, Mu Wan stepped forward, feeling somewhat anxious, like a shy young bride.

"You must be Qin Old Master, right? Hello... I’m Mu Wan. Wishing you a speedy recovery..."

After speaking, Mu Wan placed the fresh bananas she’d bought earlier onto the cabinet beside him. Qin Mu was also present... Her already tense nerves grew even more unsettled at his presence.

"Qin... Master Qin, hello..."

"Hmm..."

The woman has indeed come knocking.

Qin Mu’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he observed Mu Wan’s awkward and uneasy demeanor. It was as though she were meeting the Old Master for the first time.

He truly couldn’t understand... Why the Old Master had chosen such a woman to be his wife.

"Child, since you’re here, there’s no need to bring anything..."

"You’re the patient... and also the elder, it’s the least I can do..."

Qin Old Master squinted slightly, his gaze landing on Mu Wan’s intertwined hands that betrayed her nervousness. He smiled again.

"Child, it seems you have no recollection of me at all..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you still remember... the art exhibition at Yuncheng University last time? I was the one who bought your painting..."

Mu Wan: "..."

The one titled Unrequited Love, I suppose?

She had painted Qin Mu’s figure from behind... within the university campus grounds... carefree and striking, with an air of freshness.

Mu Wan’s expression subtly shifted. Normally, others wouldn’t recognize that the figure in the painting was Qin Mu.

Unless they were someone acquainted with Qin Mu...

If the buyer was Qin Mu’s grandfather... also Qin Old Master, and considering the title of the painting... Mu Wan flushed red and tried to explain herself, only to discover that she couldn’t summon enough strength to do so.

"Thank you... Thank you very much..."

Qin Mu watched as the woman’s voice trembled with nervous energy. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of amusement. "Grandfather, your taste... really has gotten worse and worse. Sister-in-law back in the day was the pride of the military district, and Second Sister-in-law was an international university student. But now this one—so unsophisticated, speaking with her head down, and she’s so nervous she can’t even finish a sentence..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Mu Wan bit her lip, easily picking up the disdain in Qin Mu’s tone.

Unsophisticated, unpresentable.

Indeed, Mu Wan herself wanted to know why Qin Old Master had chosen her. Was it simply because of the painting titled Unrequited Love?

"You brat, you despicable little rascal! If you don’t shut up, no one’s going to mistake you for a mute. If you keep spouting nonsense, my heart... my poor heart will start hurting again..."

As he spoke, Qin Old Master clutched his chest dramatically, causing Qin Mu’s expression to change slightly.

"Old Master... Fine, fine, you win... As long as you stay well, I won’t say another word, alright?"
