Chapter 589: Chapter 587 Good Father-in-law_1

Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow. Was Pei Mojing bullying Shanshan?

Would Shanshan actually get bullied by Pei Mojing?

Mu Yingchen thought it over repeatedly, but he still held a skeptical attitude toward Mu Ziqing’s words.

"Is that so?" he asked Mu Ziqing doubtfully.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Mu Ziqing immediately grew anxious, "Daddy... How can you be like this? Sister has been crying in her room for a whole day, and you still don’t believe what I’m saying?"

Mu Yingchen’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression became serious. Crying for a whole day?

He suddenly had a bad feeling...

"What happened?"

"Hmph... You go ask Mommy. Otherwise, you wouldn’t believe what I say anyway..." Little Miss Mu’s temper flared up.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but chuckle. These little girls, each with their own growing temper... it wasn’t easy for him, was it?

He was a filial son, a devoted husband, and a doting father, yet they still gave him attitude. Was it easy for him?

"Come on, let’s go with Daddy..." But he still needed to cajole his little daughter.

Mu Ziqing suddenly squinted her eyes, clutching Mu Yingchen’s arm as they walked toward Mu Zixuan’s room.

Su Wanxia had been staying with Mu Zixuan in the room, from noon till night, and Mu Zixuan hadn’t eaten anything. Su Wanxia was very worried.

Seeing Mu Yingchen return, Su Wanxia finally breathed a small sigh of relief, "You’re back..."

Mu Yingchen smiled softly at her and then turned his attention to Mu Zixuan, who was now sitting half-upright on the bed, surrounded by trash she had created in the wastebasket beside her.

"What’s all this about?" he asked, sitting at the bedside with a hint of a smile, looking at Mu Zixuan, who was still wiping away tears from her reddened eyes.

Having already vented half her emotions, Mu Zixuan saw Mu Yingchen return and her voice choked up firmly, "Dad... I want to break up with Pei Mojing!"

Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow, it seemed like the situation was as he expected, which was not good...

"Why?"

At Mu Yingchen’s question, a fresh glisten of tears suddenly overflowed from the corners of the eyes that Mu Zixuan had just dried.

"Why else? He was behaving ambiguously with another woman in the office!" Mu Ziqing said bitterly.

She’d have been better off not saying anything—at her words, Mu Zixuan’s tears became uncontrollable again.

Su Wanxia looked helplessly at Mu Ziqing, who suddenly stuck out her tongue as if she realized she had misspoken...

Mu Yingchen furrowed his brows; this issue could be big or small. It was a major concern about a person’s character, or simply, it could just be a coincidence or misunderstanding...

His male intuition told him that Pei Mojing was not a frivolous person.

Having been in the entertainment industry for ten years without any rumors with other women proved that his character was quite decent.

"Shanshan... what did he say?" Mu Yingchen asked softly.

Mu Zixuan’s hand holding the tissue paused, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke in a choked voice, "He said he was rehearsing... Do I look like a three-year-old to him? Can rehearsals be done in the Chairman’s office?"

Mu Yingchen’s brow furrowed even more; that excuse did indeed seem far-fetched.

Not to mention that he had retired from the entertainment circle almost two years ago, the Chairman’s office wasn’t a place that one could just enter as they please, let alone for a rehearsal.

At that moment, the tightly closed door of the room was suddenly pushed open--

Pei Mojing’s haggard and tense face abruptly appeared before everyone.

The room fell abruptly silent, and even Mu Zixuan, who had been softly sobbing all along, stopped what she was doing and looked at the disheveled figure standing at the door.

Pei Mojing was panting, clearly because he had rushed over.

After a pause, Mu Zixuan finally turned her face away and said heavily, "Who let him in... Tell him to leave! I don’t want to see him!"

Pei Mojing’s heart twitched as he looked at Mu Zixuan, who was half-leaning on the bed with reddened eyes and a nose, turning her face away to avoid his gaze. His heart suddenly trembled.

From the first time he met her, he was irresistibly attracted to her, as if he were addicted and unable to extricate himself.

He didn’t want to hurt her, didn’t want to see her shedding tears, yet inevitably, time and again, he caused her heartache.

He should die! He truly should!

Mu Ziqing saw Pei Mojing silently curl his lips.

Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen sighed quietly, looked at Mu Zixuan who was turning her face away, and Mu Yingchen slowly rose from the bedside, "Mojing... come with me..."

Pei Mojing, seeing that Mu Zixuan wouldn’t even give him a glance, felt an abrupt sense of powerless defeat.

Following Mu Yingchen as he passed by his side, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

In the living room, Mu Yingchen looked scrutinizingly at Pei Mojing.

"What exactly happened today?" he hoped that it wasn’t as Shanshan and the others had seen. Sometimes, what the eyes see is not the most real side of things.

Pei Mojing, looking dejected, sat across from Mu Yingchen, letting his head hang down like a convict, and helplessly recounted the events to Mu Yingchen in detail.

Mu Yingchen was undoubtedly an extremely wise man, not only did he have the honors of being a good son, a good husband, a great dad, and now he could add another: a great father-in-law.

"Although it was Shanshan who misunderstood you, the opportunity for this misunderstanding was created by you..." If he hadn’t given others the chance, then this situation wouldn’t exist.

Pei Mojing, filled with regret, rubbed his hair. Yes, it was his own doing.

"You should go back first..." Mu Yingchen suddenly said this.

Pei Mojing’s heart went cold as he looked up in astonishment—

"What I mean is, come back when Shanshan’s mood has stabilized..." Mu Yingchen added.

Pei Mojing was somewhat reluctant. He still wanted to explain face-to-face. This was the decision he had made after thinking it over all afternoon, believing he must explain things clearly in front of her.

Otherwise, she would surely overthink it.

Observing Pei Mojing’s hesitant expression, Mu Yingchen let out a chuckle, "Don’t worry, I’ll tell her..." The happiness of his own daughter was an undeniable responsibility for him as a father.

Since this was a misunderstanding, he would certainly lend a hand to his future son-in-law.

After all, he truly loved Shanshan.

And clearly, Shanshan loved him too.

Pei Mojing finally left hesitantly—

Mu Yingchen shook his head helplessly. These kids, not a single one made things easy for him.

He got up and went back to Mu Zixuan’s bedroom, to find that the person on the bed had stopped crying and was now staring blankly at the headboard.

When Mu Yingchen came in, Su Wanxia and Mu Ziqing couldn’t help but stretch their necks to look behind him. After a good while, none saw Pei Mojing’s figure.

"Daddy... where’s Pei Mojing?" Mu Ziqing couldn’t help but ask.

Mu Yingchen simply uttered two words without much concern, "He’s gone..."

"Gone?" Mu Ziqing exclaimed.

Mu Zixuan was also momentarily stunned, then once again turned her face further away.

Su Wanxia also looked at her husband, somewhat puzzled. Without clearing things up, why did he just leave?

PS: Thank you for your support, mwah~ Speaking of which, didn’t some students have exams these last two days? How did it go? Did anyone make it into the top five?
