Chapter 833: 554

Although the baby room prepared by Jing’s family is already nearly filled with stuff, a bunch of people have been helping to shop for it; especially Gu Muqing, who has already bought who knows how much; you can tell how much she is looking forward to it.

Old Master Jing also said to Mu Lin, "Go out for a walk. It’s good to get out of the house now and then to clear your mind." While she still had the chance to go out—they wouldn’t dare let her go out after another half a month.

Indeed, perhaps the most at ease at this time was Mu Lin herself.

"Okay," Mu Lin nodded, realizing she hadn’t been out for quite some time; particularly when it came to shopping. When was the last time she went shopping? It seemed like it was when she and Jing Chen went abroad for a mission.

At the mall, clinging to Mu Lin’s hand, Jing Chen was deeply afraid she might get lost.

Stopping in front of a store that sold baby clothes, he said, "Linlin, sit here and wait for me, I saw two sets of little clothes inside that looked quite nice." He rarely took to something on first sight.

"Okay," Mu Lin nodded again.

With a slight curve of her lips; she, as an expectant mother, seemed to need to do nothing but carry the child.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a piece of baby clothing hanging nearby. Mu Lin walked over unconsciously, picking it up to examine it closely.

So adorable; babies are really so small.

To be honest, Mu Lin truly felt that newborns were amazing.

Despite being so tiny; she had never seen a newborn baby but had seen newborn animals; so small just after birth.

Thinking back on those scenes she had seen, Mu Lin’s lips lifted unconsciously.

"That piece of clothing isn’t suitable for a newborn, you know," a deep voice suddenly sounded next to Mu Lin’s ear.

At that moment, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed; this voice was too familiar, probably the last one Mu Lin wanted to hear in her life.

"Did you like the last gift?" Standing next to Mu Lin, Mi Zheng picked up the little garment she had just put down, smiling conspicuously, "It is indeed quite cute."

"What are you doing here?" Mu Lin asked coldly, turning to face Mi Zheng instead of answering his question.

She remembered that he was supposed to have gone back to C Province.

"I missed you, so I came," Mi Zheng said with a playful, cheeky grin that made the girls passing by blush and feel their hearts race.

This man was indeed handsome; particularly when he smiled, those gentle eyes could almost pull you in.

What a pity, though, he was taken; glancing at Mu Lin and finally resting his eyes on her belly.

So well-matched, and they even had a child on the way.

A patient husband who accompanies his wife to shop for children’s clothes and to stroll around the mall—a man like this was truly rare.

Especially considering Mi Zheng appeared to be a successful and high-quality man, which made him seem even more special in the eyes of others.

Hearing his words, Mu Lin’s eyes flickered.

"Kids grow so fast," Mi Zheng stated, looking at Mu Lin’s belly with a hint of astonishment.

After all, the last time he saw Mu Lin, it wasn’t visible at all.

Yet, she was still so beautiful.

Of course, Mi Zheng was referring to Mu Lin; even pregnant and with such a big belly, she was the most beautiful pregnant woman; and compared to the last time, she had an added charm that attracted gazes.

"It has nothing to do with you," replied Mu Lin, turning and walking away, no longer paying him any attention.

"I know it has nothing to do with me," Mi Zheng said with a leisurely curve of his lips, following her without hesitation, "After all, there’s no way I would let my wife be alone here; I will follow every step, not giving anyone even the slightest chance."

As he spoke, his gaze was casual, revealing no particular emotions. Yet, his words were so serious that Mu Lin frowned.

"Are you referring to yourself?" Mu Lin scoffed, "Don’t worry, you have no chance."

Watching Mu Lin, Mi Zheng chuckled.

"Linlin, I’ve made my choice. Come and see which two sets look... better." Gu Muqing walked out from inside, but upon seeing an extra person next to Mu Lin, she paused, finding this man’s profile somewhat familiar.

"Mom." Hearing the voice, Mu Lin turned and walked towards Gu Muqing. At the moment Mi Zheng turned around, Gu Muqing finally recognized him, "Are you Linlin’s friend?" She remembered having seen him at the wedding.

Such a handsome man, besides their Xiaotian, she had only seen this one in the world; it was difficult not to remember him.

Unexpectedly, he would appear in a place like this.

In Gu Muqing’s eyes, Mi Zheng was just like Jing Chen, looking rather out of place and odd in such a setting.

Because they naturally belong somewhere else, that’s where they belong.

"Hello," Mi Zheng greeted, nodding politely to Gu Muqing with a courteous and refined demeanor.

Gu Muqing nodded back, her impression of him was not bad; she found the man in front of her to be quite polite, his smile never fading from his lips.

Of course, that was under the premise that she didn’t know this man was the one who had tried to steal her son’s significant other, and also the one who had once sought her daughter-in-law’s life; otherwise, her expression would likely be different.

"Are you here to pick out clothes as well?" Gu Muqing suddenly asked.

Caught off guard, Mi Zheng nodded after a beat, "Yes." He hadn’t been shopping just now, but now he was.

His gaze turned to Mu Lin as he picked up the garment she had looked at previously, "Children’s clothes are very cute." This statement was indeed sincere.

Suddenly turning to Gu Muqing, he asked, "What size should clothes be for a newborn?" In truth, he did not know; his previous conversation with Mu Lin had been offhand.
