Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Newlyweds Deeply in Love, Update 3(3)

Not bad...

Really not bad.

"Where’s Qin San? Where is he now?"

"He was just busy working, reviewing contracts. It seems there’s a lot going on even during the Spring Festival."

Mu Wan spoke seriously, word by word, her earnestness causing Grandpa Qin to tug at the corners of his mouth in a smile.

Mu Wan, this girl, always speaks in such a meticulous and earnest manner.

A really likable girl.

"Ridiculous! Going on a honeymoon and still busy with work? Hurry up and call that brat. Let me give him a good scolding."

Mu Wan: "..."

Mu Wan looked at Grandpa Qin’s serious expression, feeling a bit at a loss.

"Grandpa... you..."

"Grandpa, I heard you wanted to scold me, so I’ve come to you willingly for it."

Mu Wan felt herself pulled into a firm embrace by a strong arm at her waist. The seductive aura of the man overwhelmed her senses, and as she turned to the unexpected figure now beside her, her expression froze.

She had no idea when Qin Mu had suddenly appeared.

"Smile a little happier—grandpa’s watching."

Qin Mu leaned close and murmured softly into her ear, his voice audible only to the two of them.

Mu Wan: "..."

At his words, Mu Wan slightly tugged at the corners of her lips, glanced at Grandpa Qin, and added naturally with a faint smile, "Grandpa, Qin Mu’s here."

Grandpa Qin noticed how Qin Mu’s large hand circled Mu Wan’s slender waist, their intimacy resembling that of a couple freshly married.

Grandpa Qin squinted his eyes in satisfaction, though his words remained sharp.

"Hmph... Qin San, you brat! Even on your honeymoon, you’re still working?"

"Grandpa... Well, now that I’m married, isn’t it my responsibility to provide for the family? If I don’t work hard, how could I support my family?"

Qin Mu’s response was playful and casual, causing Grandpa Qin to burst into laughter right away.

Not bad... Marriage really does change a man.

Now he knows how to take care of his family.

"Hmph, though you have a point, Xiaowan is visiting France for the first time. You two are on your honeymoon, so you need to accompany her properly. No more work! Even if the company goes under, it’s never more important than family. Do you understand?"

Mu Wan was slightly moved upon hearing Grandpa Qin’s words. As expected of Grandpa Qin—he had truly come to understand life deeply.

Qin Mu noticed Mu Wan zoning out and tightened his hand slightly on her slender waist, signaling her to focus.

"Rest assured, Grandpa, I completely understand what you mean... Xiaowan, tell Grandpa, am I good to you? Hmm?"

Mu Wan: "..."

Is this... considered good?

Even though they are husband and wife, there is an estrangement, a distance like strangers. Qin Mu manages to remain gentlemanly and courteous.

In all things—or possessions—he always chooses the best.

Mu Wan pressed her lips together, her expression softening slightly into a faint smile as she replied gently, "Grandpa, don’t worry. Qin Mu is really, really good to me."

"Silly girl, with you saying that, I feel reassured... What I fear most is that after marrying Qin Mu, you’ll suffer grievances. That would mean I’ve failed you."

Unrequited love... always involves pouring out immense feelings, yet never guarantees reciprocation.

It’s said that in love, in marriage, the one who first invests their emotions... is the one who loses first.

Within this marriage, Mu Wan exists in an absolute position of disadvantage.

Grandpa Qin’s words... only he and Mu Wan could truly understand. Qin Mu, however, was oblivious to the deeper meaning, his long, dark eyes narrowing slightly.
