Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Climactic Request for Subscription in Marital Duties (6)

Unrequited love means that even the slightest gesture from the other person can make you throw caution to the wind and dive into the flames like a moth.

Mu Wan raised her hand to rub her aching brow… It took her quite a while before she straightened up in her seat… People like her, who are sullen by nature, tend to react slower.

She always… needs a good amount of time to digest things.

…

Mu Wan was fully immersed in her thoughts when the door to the room opened, and Qin Mu’s tall figure appeared before her. The man was strikingly handsome, wearing a purple shirt with a few buttons casually undone at the chest, revealing his toned physique – exuding an intoxicating allure.

Mu Wan’s face flushed even redder, her head lowered… She didn’t know how to face Qin Mu.

Qin Mu gazed at Mu Wan, who was sitting dazedly on the large bed. Her delicate body wrapped in the thin blanket around her waist—it was simply alluring.

Qin Mu’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as his gaze lingered on the woman’s delicate face, his thin lips pressed tightly.

“I’ve had some food prepared. Freshen up, and then come out to eat.”

“Alright…”

Mu Wan’s voice was hoarse as she replied, her entire demeanor resembling a teary flower. Her hair was slightly disheveled.

Realizing her previous loss of composure, Mu Wan trembled as she tried to wrap herself in the blanket and head toward the bathroom. But before her feet could touch the ground, she fell heavily to the floor.

Seeing the scene, Qin Mu’s expression shifted slightly. He quickly stepped forward and lifted Mu Wan, blanket and all, placing her back on the bed.

“What’s the matter?”

Mu Wan listened to the calm yet unreadable tone in the man’s voice, barely audible as she muttered hoarsely.

“Um… My legs are weak… Sorry…”

Mu Wan kept her head down, unwilling to meet Qin Mu’s gaze, feeling thoroughly embarrassed.

Qin Mu: “…”

This wasn’t a matter for Mu Wan to apologize for. The one who truly should feel apologetic was himself, not Mu Wan.

Qin Mu stared intently at the woman before him, his lips pursed.

“It’s not your fault…”

Mu Wan: “…”

Mu Wan nodded lightly at his words, refraining from saying more, only pressing her lips together. “Um… I want… to take a bath. Could you bring me my pajamas? I… I’m not wearing anything underneath.”

Upon hearing Mu Wan’s voice, as faint as the buzz of a mosquito, Qin Mu’s lips curved slightly as he suppressed the strange emotions stirring within him.

“No need. I’ll carry you directly to the bathroom.”

With that, Qin Mu scooped Mu Wan up and headed straight for the bathroom.

Since when…

Had he become someone so indulgent and unrestrained?

Qin Mu narrowed his dark eyes before speaking, “I’ll have someone send your pajamas over… Once you’re done, you can call them to come in.”

“Alright.”

Mu Wan replied faintly…

Yesterday, the two were still strangers…

Yesterday, they became husband and wife.

Now… seeing each other again inevitably feels awkward.

Mu Wan rubbed her brow in frustration… It hurt terribly…

…

Shit!

After walking out of the bathroom, Qin Mu quickly realized his own slip-up.

He had actually carried Mu Wan directly into the bathroom…

Qin Mu, you rarely show such tender affection to women…

Qin Mu narrowed his sharp eyes, clenching his large hands tightly as he sternly reminded himself.

It’s only because you want her to conceive quickly…

So the Old Master can hold his great-grandchild as soon as possible…

That’s it.

With this thought, Qin Mu walked straight to the living room. Seeing his secretary waiting respectfully inside, his lips pursed tightly.

“Send Mu Wan’s pajamas to the bathroom.”

“Mr. Qin, does she need undergarments as well?”

“Yes…”

“But I’m not sure about Madam’s size…”

“85C…”

Secretary: “…”

Mr. Qin is truly remarkable.

Qin Mu had noticed the size tag while changing Mu Wan’s clothes and putting her in pajamas yesterday.

“Understood, Mr. Qin. I’ll get to it right away.”

“Hm…”

The female secretary swallowed nervously… Coming out of Madam’s room early in the morning like this… Whatever transpired between the two is obvious.

It’s done, done…

They finally slept together.

Over time, such couples will naturally develop deeper feelings…

This Madam is undoubtedly a good wife.

…

After finishing her bath, Mu Wan felt some of her physical fatigue ease. The female secretary had prepared clean clothes as well as lotion to help her relieve her discomfort.

“Miss Mu… Sir is waiting for you to eat…”

“Thank you.”

Mu Wan’s cheeks flushed as she got dressed and walked out of the room. Qin Mu was already seated at the dining table.

Mu Wan: “…”

Mu Wan glanced at the man before her, visibly nervous, unsure of what to do. She quietly walked to the opposite side of Qin Mu.

“Let’s eat.”

“Hm.”

Mu Wan responded softly, barely taking note of the lavish meal before her. She mostly kept her head down, eating plain white rice… Occasionally, she would pick a dish from those in front of her.

The two remained silent.

The atmosphere quickly turned awkward.

“The Old Master arranged a week-long honeymoon… Two days have already passed, leaving five days. I’ll need to handle some business affairs in France, so I’ve arranged for the secretary to accompany you while you travel… Remember to take lots of photos to send to the Old Master… If the Old Master asks why I’m not in the photos, just say I don’t enjoy being photographed. Don’t worry, I’ll have some photos of us photoshopped together for the Old Master later.”

Mu Wan: “…”

Though polite, the man’s words were distant…

Carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

Mu Wan pressed her lips together and nodded lightly.

“Alright…”

“Hm… Take good care of yourself these next few days… Hopefully… this time you’ll conceive… Your ovulation period is usually around the 10th to the 20th of each month. During that time, I’ll make time to stay at the marital home… Of course, you’ll need to return from the school dormitory to stay at home… Other than that, we’ll respect each other’s independence and won’t interfere in each other’s lives.”

Mu Wan: “…”

Everything felt like a mere formality.

To him, having a child seemed nothing more than fulfilling his duty…

Get it done, and present it to the Old Master.

Mu Wan tugged at the corner of her lips, hearing his arrangements. Her heart sank.
