Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Climactic Request for Subscription in Marital Duties (8)

The old man frequently called Mu Qingqiu and Mu Wan for video chats during this period.

He looked at Mu Wan’s slightly tired expression... secretly thinking, "It seems like having a great-granddaughter is not far off now."

Not bad, not bad... Qin Mu really is a teachable young man after all.

Mu Qingqiu, on the other hand, felt much more relaxed and cheerful ever since Mu Wan got married, as it had resolved a big worry lingering in her heart.

"Xiaowan, Xiaomu has helped me recruit many students... Some of them are even from the orphanage... The tuition fees are covered by Xiaomu’s Dongheng International as part of a charity initiative. And not just that... the studio has been moved to a much larger building now... which allows me to teach more students. Xiaomu even arranged for someone to prepare a larger house for me, but I... I’m still more accustomed to living in my old home, so no need to move."

Mu Wan: "..."

Why... why did hearing Mu Qingqiu say this... fail to make her feel happy inside?

On the contrary... it felt like sorrow rising up like a river against the current.

Because... all of this was Qin Mu’s manipulative planning.

Mu Wan gazed at Mu Qingqiu in front of her and gave a faint smile.

"Hmm... that’s great. Once I’m back, if I don’t have school on weekends, I can join you in teaching the kids."

"Yes... That Xiaomu is such a thoughtful child... Xiaowan, how is he treating you?"

Mu Wan’s expression slightly shifted upon hearing Mu Qingqiu hit the crux of the matter, and she forced a sliver of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm... he’s good... It was a bit awkward at first... but now we often have meals together... so the relationship has improved."

In truth... Qin Mu hadn’t returned to the presidential suite for the past two days.

Mu Qingqiu had been somewhat worried initially, but hearing Mu Wan say this brought a bright smile to her face.

"Good... Mom just hopes that you can live a happy life... That’s the greatest wish for the rest of my days. You know, a woman has two lives... The first starts at birth... I wasn’t able to give you a privileged start, and deep down, I’ve always felt guilty about that over these years. The second begins with marrying well. Marrying into a good family is like gaining a second life. At first, Mom didn’t want you to marry into a wealthy family because deep waters run deep in wealth. But the Qin Family does seem to be fair-minded people... Seeing you so happy, Mom can finally be at ease."

Mu Wan: "..."

Oh, the boundless love of parents.

Mu Wan listened to Mu Qingqiu’s words, her eyes reddening, and she nodded gently.

"Mom... Rest assured, I’m doing well here in France... Just take good care of yourself."

"Alright... I’ll hang up now... I need to go teach the students..."

"Hmm... Goodbye, Mom."

Mu Wan watched Mu Qingqiu’s cheerful expression, and her mood was unwittingly uplifted too.

But after hanging up the phone, looking around the opulent yet empty presidential suite, it felt more like a luxurious cage... lacking any semblance of home.

It still couldn’t compare to Mu Qingqiu’s old studio, that two-story house...

...

Day five.

On the fifth day, Mu Wan began to feel a faint soreness between her legs, though overall, she felt much better.

In the morning, with sunlight streaming through, Mu Wan proactively slung her painter’s board over her shoulder to go sketching.

The most famous spots in Paris, France are the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre-Dame de Paris, and the Champs-Élysées...

These were all places Mu Wan had long wanted to visit.

Seeing Mu Wan with her painter’s board, the female secretary quickly approached her with respectful attentiveness.

"Miss Mu, are you heading out?"

"Mm... I want to go sketching... It’s alright, there’s no need to accompany me... I can manage on my own... I’m just going to paint something; the architectural design is quite unique... I can use the map to find my way back."
