Chapter 271: 275 Duoduo’s Dad3_1

Zhou Ziqing called Qin Muchuan at night.

At that moment, Qin Muchuan was coaxing the children to sleep, he made a ’shush’ gesture to the children, then stepped outside.

"Hello, Ziqing!" Qin Muchuan whispered her name.

"It’s a bit late to call you, isn’t it? But I had no choice; I just finished some work!" Zhou Ziqing’s tone was normal, just like talking to a regular friend or a work-related friend, nothing seemed unnatural.

"It’s alright, just put the kids to bed!" Qin Muchuan felt calm himself.

"Um.....I want to ask about the software...will it be approved by your board?" her voice was soft when she asked.

"This requires detailed research, but as for myself...I am quite hopeful!" Maybe because of their old relationship, he could not directly say that there’s no value in the software’s development.

"That’s good. I’ll wait for the news!" Zhou Ziqing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "But, Qin Muchuan, I still hope you could help me out, consider this a request!"

"I’ll do my best to help!"

"Great!"

"..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence. Neither of them knew what to say next, setting the atmosphere rather awkward.

"How about we go for a dinner together when you have time?" Qin Muchuan suggested.

Even though they were not together anymore, they were still friends now!

Zhou Ziqing was surprised, amusedly asking, "You’re treating me to dinner? Shouldn’t I be the one treating you since I’m asking for your help?"

"My dinner invitation is just as a friend, it has nothing to do with your request!"

"Alright then, I’m out of town right now and I can’t return until tomorrow! Um...how about the day after tomorrow, in the evening?" Zhou Ziqing pondered on this.

"Sure!" Qin Muchuan responded succinctly, just like a soldier!

No more beating around the bush, the necessary conversation was over and then the call ended!

As soon as Qin Muchuan turned around, he saw Lin Xiangwan who had been standing behind him all this time.

"When did you come over?" Like many men who had ’done something wrong’, Qin Muchuan felt slightly guilty.

"A while ago!" Lin Xiangwan replied, arching her beautiful brows.

She had indeed been standing there for a while and from their conversation, she could tell that he was talking to a woman, and this woman was no ordinary woman.

"Oh..." Qin Muchuan responded simply and said nothing more.

Lin Xiangwan pretended to be curious and not jealous at all, asking, "Are you getting rid of your wife that easily? Hmm, who were you talking to?"

"A friend!"

"What kind of friend?" Lin Xiangwan stood in his way, batting her big eyes cutely!

Actually, if possible, she didn’t want to appear this naive. She would much rather be fierce, glaring at him, aggressively grabbing his tie and loudly questioning, ’Who was that wretched woman you were talking to? Report to me immediately, if you dare to omit a single word, I’ll cut your little soldier off!’

But, he hasn’t admitted that he likes her. On what grounds could she restrict him?

Qin Muchuan smiled. "An old friend who just moved to B City!"

Was this slow, question and answer pace like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube?

Oh well, she’ll take the initiative. Otherwise, she wouldn’t hear the truth. "Hehe, is she your ex-girlfriend?"

Qin Muchuan was taken aback; he didn’t think she would guess.

He smiled, then nodded. "Yes, an ex from many years ago. We broke up long ago!"

Even though she was already mentally prepared, even though she had thought about it beforehand, when he finally admitted, she felt a pang in her heart.

This was the first time Qin Muchuan had mentioned that he had past girlfriends in front of her!

This girlfriend must occupy a significant portion of his heart. He must’ve deeply loved her, right?

Not like her, just the mother of his child, forced to be together, forced to live together!

Lin Xiangwan forced a smile, it didn’t seem heartfelt. "Haha, I can’t imagine a cold-blooded creature like you actually loving someone! Was she really that beautiful? Did you really like her mom?"

Suddenly, Qin Muchuan found this topic of conversation interesting, curious to know if this woman before him could become jealous.

He stared at her adorable smile and said, "Everyone’s had their youthful moments, everyone’s had genuine love. The fact that I had loved someone is not strange. She was beautiful, I did really like her, I wanted to marry her!"

Boom boom boom——

It seemed as though Lin Xiangwan could hear her heart collapse like a mountain, rocks tumbling down non-stop.

It hurt her so much, so badly, inside!

She was unable to keep up her pretend smile, she could only pout in a coquettishly aggrieved way, "Since you loved her so much, why not marry her?"

Qin Muchuan was watching her facial expressions closely, not missing the slightest change. Even though she kept pretending to be cute, he could see her genuine emotions beneath the fake smiles.

She was genuinely upset, her gaze wavering, as though she had taken a great hit.

Qin Muchuan chuckled to himself in his heart, this little dumbo, she really wasn’t very clever.

If she were smart enough, she would have been able to catch the hidden message in his words.

Used to like, used to love!

Which simply meant that now...things have changed!

He raised his brows despondently and with an all-knowing look said, "Not all couples who are in love will end up married, some do part ways, and we happened to be the latter!"

"Why can’t you be together? You are Qin Muchuan, there should be no woman outside of your reach, right?" Lin Xiangwan asked bitterly.

"Sometimes...loving someone...requires letting go, right?" He chuckled and retorted.

Lin Xiangwan really wanted to cry, this man must have loved that woman deeply, right?

She couldn’t pretend anymore, Lin Xiangwan struggled to control her bitterness bubbling over in her chest, her face red and stuffy, she declared, "Qin Muchuan, even though you don’t love me, even though you never considered me your true wife. But let me tell you, regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not, I’m still your wife. I’m warning you, as your wife, you can’t continue your relationship with your ex-girlfriend, you can’t flirt with her, you can’t call her..."

Upon seeing her lose control, Qin Muchuan finally laughed, he was especially happy. "You can’t do this, can’t do that, you sure have high expectations of me!"

"Yes, because I am your wife!" Lin Xiangwan declared her status aloud once more.

Qin Muchuan nodded, "Alright, in consideration of being the mother to our children, I can accept your request. However, I’ve already asked her out for dinner, what should we do?"
