Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Newlyweds So Loving, Additional Update 1 (4)

In Yuncheng... there are countless women who dream of marrying into the Qin Family, becoming the young mistress of the family.

How could marrying Mu Wan be a loss for the family?

The old man is worrying about nothing.

A faint smirk tugged at the corners of Qin Mu’s lips—full of sarcasm.

Mu Wan suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, looked at Grandpa Qin, and said softly, "Grandpa... don’t worry, I don’t regret it..."

"Good..."

Grandpa Qin gazed at Mu Wan’s serene and gentle demeanor, his eyes full of approval.

This young lady is a good one.

But her thoughts are deeply hidden...

Qin Mu’s personality, on the other hand, is devil-may-care.

Their personalities couldn’t be more different...

I just hope this girl can change Qin Mu, that they might yield fruitful results.

While Grandpa Qin was worrying, Qin Mu spoke playfully, "Grandpa... Xiaowan and I are here on our honeymoon... If you keep calling and pestering us... isn’t that rather unfair of you?"

"Hmph... you rascal!"

Grandpa Qin, stumped momentarily by Qin Mu’s provocation.

"You, take care of yourself at home. Xiaowan and I... hmm, will work hard to give you a great-grandchild. What do you think?"

"Now that’s what I want to hear, you rascal..."

"Alright, hanging up now... Take care of your health and promise me this—don’t stress, don’t get angry, understand? Because, you see, your grandson here still wants to tease you for many more years, so you need to live a long and healthy life."

Qin Mu’s kind words always had a way of sounding unconventional.

Mu Wan knew all along that Qin Mu deeply cared about Grandpa’s health. The moment they landed this morning, he had already called Grandpa’s private doctor to check on his condition.

Yet the man never said anything directly...

Mu Wan’s lips curled slightly as she looked at the screen, where Grandpa let out a soft scoff, his expression full of disdain for Qin Mu’s antics. She said softly, "Grandpa, you have to watch your diet, especially during the New Year. It’s very important."

"Now, this Xiaowan girl knows how to speak... Alright, hanging up now. You two have fun... I just can’t help but worry about the two of you."

His sentimental words, even if he tried to suppress them, naturally revealed themselves. Just after saying a few things, Grandpa felt a bit embarrassed and quickly ended the call.

Mu Wan couldn’t help but laugh. Grandpa in this moment was simply too adorable.

Qin Mu’s long, narrow black eyes narrowed slightly... Grandpa really does miss him.

So many years... he had caused Grandpa endless anxiety. Truly the unworthy descendant of the Qin Family.

As he thought about this, a flash of guilt passed through Qin Mu’s eyes. He realized his arm was still wrapped around Mu Wan’s slender waist; he quickly withdrew his hand and pressed his lips together.

"Get ready, let’s head to the restaurant for breakfast."

"Alright."

The warm hand on her waist left, but Mu Wan felt nothing unusual. She simply responded lightly.

Moments ago, she could still smile facing Grandpa, but now, looking at Qin Mu, her expression carried a faint hint of nervousness.

Newlyweds...

Yet the two of them... didn’t seem like what a couple newly in love should be.

...

The luxurious five-star hotel served a French breakfast, but Mu Wan didn’t have much appetite. Having just gotten off the plane, she felt a hint of jet lag, so after moving her chopsticks a few times, she stopped eating.

On the other hand, Qin Mu ate elegantly. While dining, his secretary stood to the side reporting work matters.

"President Qin... Mr. Zhang from back home just called, asking when you and Miss Mu are returning from your honeymoon. He wants to invite you to a meal and mentioned a plot of land he’s offering for collaboration. Do you have any interest in it?"

"Tell him the return date is uncertain for now, and I’m not focusing on work during this period. From now on, regarding any land acquisitions, Dongheng International will only collaborate with the Gu Family—have all other collaborators’ land purchases directly monopolized. Got it?"

"Yes..."

"President Qin, since you’re in France currently, it happens that there’s an Asia Outstanding Entrepreneurs Summit in the United Kingdom. Would you be interested in attending? They’ve already sent out the invitation letter."

"No... decline on my behalf."

"Understood."

Mu Wan watched as the man calmly and gracefully handled various cooperation offers and invitations while continuing his meal. Her thoughts wandered slightly.

Hmm... if asked which version of Qin Mu was the most dazzling, she would still think... it was those youthful days. Passing by the basketball court, watching Qin Mu play, flaunting his skills for Jian Ran’s attention... that version of Qin Mu was the most striking.

At that time, Qin Mu would constantly prank Jian Ran.

Occasionally, he would show off deliberately, like... a perfect layup on the basketball court.

In reality, back then Jian Ran was always scared out of her wits, thinking Qin Mu would surely do something childish, like throwing the basketball toward her. Because of this, she never properly watched him show off his skills.

Only Mu Wan stood in the corner, quietly taking in every moment of his athletic elegance, not missing a single detail.

So... those youthful years, hmm, watching a man playing basketball—truly captivating.

...

Qin Mu finished giving his work instructions, narrowed his black eyes slightly, and his gaze landed on Mu Wan. Only then did he notice the steak on her plate remained mostly untouched while she sat in a daze.

Qin Mu furrowed his brows... A woman daring to daydream right in front of him—Mu Wan was certainly the first.

Qin Mu’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly further, his handsome face gaining a colder edge.

"What are you thinking about?"

Startled by the man’s cold words, Mu Wan snapped back to reality. Meeting his calm black eyes, she forced a faint smile.

"I was thinking about... basketball... playing... basketball."

"You like basketball?"

"Not really... I just enjoy watching people play basketball."

Qin Mu pulled at the corner of his lips. Watching basketball was never really about the moves or the ball itself.

It was always about the person.

"Hmm... Mu Wan... you like the person playing basketball, don’t you?"

Mu Wan, holding her knife and fork, froze in her movements upon hearing Qin Mu’s words. Her hands trembling slightly, the utensils slipped directly onto the ground.

The clatter of metallic utensils hitting the floor echoed through the spacious dining hall, drawing the attention of nearby guests.
