Chapter 886: Chapter 583: He Hasn’t Snatched His Bride Yet (Part 1)_2

While she was happy that her daughter was outstanding and likable, she was very satisfied with her daughter’s current life and wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt it. Most importantly, although Gong Muxue had a fairly good impression of Mi Zheng, it definitely couldn’t compare to Jing Chen.

Not just because of Jing Chen’s status and his care and love for Mu Lin, but also because Jing Chen was her lover’s disciple, and he was a person recognized by Mu Jue.

Therefore, entrusting Mu Lin to Jing Chen’s care was something both Gong Muxue and Mu Jue felt secure about.

Gong Muxue believed this.

With that in mind, Gong Muxue smiled at Mi Zheng, "Xiaozheng, what are you talking about? Our Linlin is already married, you can’t make such jokes carelessly. Besides, you’re so outstanding I trust you will find a better girl to accompany you for life. If they hear such words, they would really be jealous."

Her voice was filled with a teasing laugh.

With a faint smile, Mi Zheng sighed, "But none of those people are Linlin." The disappointment in his words was evident.

At this moment, Mi Zheng really seemed like a devout lover who did not regret his unreciprocated feelings for Mu Lin.

Watching him, Jing Chen had already become so annoyed he was practically ready to fly off the handle, "Mom is right, Mr. Mi is born so handsome, I am sure many women like you. The emphasis on the word ’handsome’ was quite clear."

Right after Jing Chen finished speaking, the originally refined aura about Mi Zheng turned cold, but it quickly returned to normal, with no change in his facial expression, "Unfortunately, I still can’t win Linlin’s affection."

Great, he was set on clinging to this issue.

Mu Lin’s gaze was icy as she coldly observed him.

Gong Muxue implied that she was already old and couldn’t keep up with the thoughts and insights of young people; forget it, let the younger generation worry about their own affairs.

As she thought this, she held Jing Nuo and walked over to Mi Zheng and Jing Chen, her gaze brimming with smiles, "Xiaochen, Xiaozheng, don’t just stand there, sit and talk."

The atmosphere between these two was indeed making people feel a bit uncomfortably strange.

Jing Chen: "Mr. Mi must be tired from holding her for so long. Give the child to me, and I’ll take her to her mother’s side to rest." In fact, what Jing Chen most wanted to do right now was to throw this man out.

However, he had underestimated Mi Zheng’s thick skin, "It seems like Jing is trying to cross the river and demolish the bridge. I just managed to save your daughter with great difficulty, and now I just want to hold her for a little while because I like her cute appearance, but this is how you treat me? Is this how you always treat ’friends’? "

His mouth curved in a smile that was not quite a smile, determined, Mi Zheng had no intention of giving Jing Yue back.

He was curious to see what Jing would do.

He had finally come all this way and had even brought a gift, so he naturally wanted to hold her enough before letting go, thinking she would be so easily taken back—it would depend on whether he was willing.

And right now, he was unwilling.

If it weren’t for the fact that the child was too young to withstand too much, Jing Chen would have snatched her back long ago.

However, upon hearing Mi Zheng’s words, Jing Chen’s gaze subconsciously sought Mu Lin, as if asking about the truth in Mi Zheng’s recent statement.

Mu Lin nodded lightly.

Although it was because of him, it was also true that he had saved her; inconvenient to say more now, Mu Lin planned to tell Jing Chen later. For now, let him show off a little longer.

Mu Lin now looked down on the man before her more and more.

Watching Mu Lin’s reaction, Mi Zheng curled his lips.

Tsk tsk tsk... Indeed, Linlin was still on his side.

His heart was filled with boundless satisfaction!

So self-love.

Sitting there, Mi Zheng looked down at the tender little face that had gradually fallen asleep in his arms, with glimmers of light in his eyes that even he himself had not noticed; the coldness had almost entirely disappeared from him. At that moment, Xiaoyue directly grasped one of his fingers in her hand, sleeping soundly, her little face seeming to brim with contentment.

That’s when Mi Zheng realized, "Linlin, your daughter really does look a lot like you." When she grows up, she will definitely be a little Fairy that brings disaster to the nation.

"What’s her name?"

"Jing Yue," Mu Lin replied, looking at him as the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, "I didn’t expect you to like children too." It was quite surprising.

"No, I only like... your children." Just as, he was interested in her.

Pity, though, that this wasn’t their child, otherwise, he would like her even more.

Mi Zheng was confident that if this child were his and Mu Lin’s, then she would definitely grow up even more beautiful than now.

Of course, what he preferred was the resemblance to Mu Lin, just looking at her could bring joy to one’s heart and mind.

At that moment, Jing Chen’s face had turned as grey as the bottom of a pot, coveting his wife and now here coveting his child—this man really was... His fists clenched tight, he was about ready to punch that pretty face of his that was more delicate than a woman’s. It was a pity Gong Muxue was there, and Xiaoyue was still in his hands; Jing Chen was helpless against him for the time being.

Jing had never been so patient before, except when on a mission.

Mi Zheng sat there for a long time, holding Xiaoyue tight and refusing to let go; until... Gong Muxue took Jing Nuo over to Jing Chen’s hands and went out for a bit.

"Speak up, what’s your real purpose for coming here?" Jing Chen looked at him coldly, not forgetting what kind of person Mi Zheng was.

However.

"What purpose could I have?" Mi Zheng grinned, his expression now completely the opposite of the gentle and refined demeanor he had before, with a hint of malice, "I’ve already said, I just came to see Linlin, that’s all."

"You see, I even brought presents," he rebuked with a ’don’t act like we’re sworn enemies’ face, "I didn’t steal your wife yet, did I?"
