Chapter 885: Chapter 583: He Hasn’t Snatched His Bride Yet (First Update)

"Mr. Mu, you like children so much, why don’t you have one of your own?" However, just at that moment, a cold voice rang in everyone’s ears. Mu Lin subconsciously looked towards the newcomer, the originally icy corners of his lips slowly revealing a faint smile.

"You got here quite fast." The arc of his smile was graceful, and he still held Xiaoyue gently in his arms as he slightly turned to look at the tall figure approaching, his voice carrying a somewhat different implication.

As if he had already guessed that the man would appear.

With an indifferent glance at the person before him, Jing Chen walked over to Mu Lin’s side and without hesitation picked her up and placed her back on the bed, "The doctor said that pregnant women should not get out of bed too often." His sharp eyes held a hint of distress, "What if you catch a cold?" In Jing Chen’s heart, nothing was more important than Mu Lin’s well-being.

Of course, he also knew that although Xiaoyue was in Mu Zheng’s hands, Mu Zheng would not do anything to her.

Looking at Jing Chen, Mu Lin shook her head, "I’m fine." Moreover, it was summer, so how could she catch a cold? Her grandfather was probably worrying too much.

Although there are indeed many taboos for pregnant women (most of them advised by doctors), they always forget that she herself is a doctor, though her specialty is in poisons, not so knowledgeable on matters concerning pregnancy.

"Jing Chen and Linlin really do show great affection." One had to say, the scene before him was particularly irritating to Mi Zheng’s eyes, yet the more annoying it was, the deeper the smile on his lips became.

His eyes held a mocking amusement.

He really wanted to see the day when they fell out with each other; it would certainly be very interesting.

With a cold snort, "Whether my wife and I are affectionate is not for outsiders to comment on." After putting Mu Lin comfortably back on the bed, Jing Chen turned to look at Mu Zheng with an icy glare, "I just can’t understand why a big figure like Mr. Mu would condescend to visit our humble place."

"And to be holding my precious daughter no less." His words about "my precious daughter" were particularly distinct, with clear enunciation, "It really makes one wonder."

His facial expression was clearly unwelcoming, unmistakably obvious.

Unfortunately for Jing Chen’s unwelcomeness, Mu Zheng completely chose to ignore it, his gaze moving past Jing Chen and settling on Mu Lin, "As a ’friend’, how could I be absent from such a significant event in Linlin’s life, right, Linlin?" After all, the entanglements between them had been going on for many years, hadn’t they?

Mu Lin scoffed, too lazy to bother with this shamelessly thick-skinned person. Truthfully, she really wasn’t in the mood to tangle with him here.

Muxue could tell that Mu Lin was being cold towards Mi Zheng, and she could also feel Jing Chen’s unwelcomeness towards Mi Zheng. With a slight smile, she looked at Jing Chen, breaking the tension among the three, "Xiaochen, how come you arrived so early today?" Usually, Jing Chen wouldn’t come over until the evening.

"I just happened to be passing by, so I decided to come and have a look," Jing Chen replied.

"What a coincidence," Mi Zheng quirked his lip, "I’ve come all the way here, and just so happens Jing Chen is passing by." His words seemed... hard to believe.

Anyway, he didn’t believe it, considering the amount of tailing he had behind him was indeed not so little.

Of course, Mu Zheng didn’t mind having those tails follow him; to have Jing Chen be so ’concerned’ about keeping an eye on him was an honor, to say the least.

An average person couldn’t even invite Jing Chen to act on their behalf.

As for Jing Chen’s identity, Mu Zheng had done his research; this man who occupied a place in Mu Lin’s heart.

He had to admit, he was indeed perfect; Mu Lin had good taste.

Ignoring the mockery in Mi Zheng’s words, Jing Chen simply looked at him... holding Xiaoyue, "My baby needs to sleep now, Mr. Mu, perhaps you could give the child back to me."

"If you really like children that much, Mr. Mu, you might consider finding someone to have one for you; that way, you could hold one to your heart’s content every day." There would be no need to keep holding someone else’s child.

"If that person were Linlin, I wouldn’t need to consider it," Mu Zheng spoke without restraint, not intending to conceal his thoughts in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, Muxue glanced at Mu Lin and then back at Mu Zheng.

So the young Master Mu really did have feelings for her Linlin.

The choice was good, only a pity it was too late.
