Chapter 369: 374 Unattractive Mood_1

"When? When I feel like it!", said Lin Xiangwan stubbornly.

......

Lin Haoran and Qin Yutong sensed something amiss with their parents recently, as they no longer slept in the same room.

"Dad would head into mom’s room before going to sleep, but every morning, he would come out from the study!", remarked Lin Haoran in confusion, his eyes widening. "Sis, do you think dad has superpowers now, or else why does he keep changing places?"

"Don’t be so naive, your thinking is asinine. It must be dad who went to the study by himself!", remarked Qin Yutong indifferently while fiddling with her new toy.

The toy was quite complex, and she hadn’t entirely figured out how to assemble and disassemble it yet.

"Then why is he going through all this hassle?" Lin Haoran was still confused.

"You should ask that to dad. Move, I need that spot!", Qin Yutong roughly shoved her brother aside.

"Sis, don’t you care about dad and mom? I suspect they might have had a quarrel!", said Lin Haoran.

"Oh?" Qin Yutong glanced at her brother. "You think so too?"

"Yep!" Lin Haoran nodded firmly. "But it’s not our business if dad and mom are upset, right?"

"It’s natural for parents to have arguments, just like how we get along at times and fight at others!" Qin Yutong explained thoughtfully. "Their friction might actually bring them closer!"

"Then, I suppose I’ll worry less!" Lin Haoran nodded and redirected his attention to the toy.

After less than ten minutes, Lin Xiangwan had another question. "Hey sis, between dad and mom, who do you think is the stronger one when they fight?"

"Who makes breakfast every day?" Qin Yutong asked, not lifting her head from the toy.

"Dad..."

"And who constantly acts aloof and ignores things?" Qin Yutong continued interrogating.

"Dad..."

"So, there you have it!" Qin Yutong shrugged her slender shoulders, the meaning unspoken yet clear.

"Then why does mom bully dad?" Lin Haoran questioned, puzzled again. "Isn’t that very naughty of mom?"

Qin Yutong sighed, placed the toy she was holding down, and spoke quite maturely for her age. "I suspect there might be some issues between them, and it’s dad’s fault. And now he’s making an effort to please mom."

Lin Haoran scratched his head in confusion. "So it’s dad’s fault again?"

Qin Yutong nodded. "Indeed. Otherwise, why do you think mom and dad aren’t going on their honeymoon anymore, even though mom was looking forward to it?"

Lin Haoran was slightly agitated, ready to confront his dad. "How dare he upset my mom, I will kill him!"

"Hey, come back here. There’s no need to kill dad, okay?" Qin Yutong seized her brother.

Instantly, Lin Haoran transformed from a feisty cub to a docile kitten, uttering helplessly, "I was just saying. How could I actually kill dad? He’s my dear old dad, my biological father!"

"Let’s simmer down for now and let mom and dad handle their problems. The last thing we should do is stir the pot," Qin Yutong advised after careful consideration.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, sis!" Lin Haoran nodded.

Just like these two kids witnessed, despite Lin Xiangwan and Qin Muchuan sharing the same room and leading a normal conjugal life, everything seemed normal, yet everything was off.

The two of them barely conversed. To be more precise, Qin Muchuan would initiate conversations, but Lin Xiangwan would completely ignore him, showing no reaction.

Qin Muchuan initially thought their situation would improve rapidly once they get intimate, but their several confrontations have led to no progress at all.

That afternoon, as usual, Qin Muchuan invited Lin Xiangwan to accompany him to a social event. "It’s the 70th birthday party of a company president. Would you come with me?"

"I don’t have time!" Lin Xiangwan curtly replied.

"It won’t take too much of your time. Get ready and I’ll come pick you up. The necklace that was delivered yesterday and the dress I picked for you today match perfectly. You’d look stunning!" Qin Muchuan proposed via the phone. The dress he’d chosen was already sent home.

The necklace was delivered yesterday, but she tossed it aside without even taking a glance.

That was a rare piece of jewelry designed by a renowned Taiwanese jeweler, Ms. Tang.

Ms. Tang was an eccentric jeweler and also part of the upper class. She didn’t design for profit.

She would create designs based on her mood, and out of their business connections and her respect for her husband, she designed this necklace.

If any other women knew that Lin Xiangwan discarded such a priceless limited edition piece like trash, they would probably be green with envy and seek to confront her.

If such a situation arose, he might stand by and let it happen, because wooing her had become remarkably challenging.

He had spent all these days trying to please her and had tried almost everything, but she remained indifferent!

Lin Xiangwan spoke impatiently. "I’ve already said I don’t have time and won’t be going!"

"Xiangwan, I really need you today!", pleaded Qin Muchuan.

Lin Xiangwan scoffed. "What you need isn’t me but just a woman!"

With that, Lin Xiangwan hung up on him!

The afternoon sky, just like the previous few days, was far from beautiful, its gray hue exacerbating her internal unrest.

Lin Xiangwan walked into the bathroom with a splitting headache, freshened up, put on some light makeup, and stepped out of her room.

Lately, she had been agonizing over whether Duoduo was Qin Muchuan’s child or not.

Though she tried convincing herself countless times to simply regard Duoduo as Qin Muchuan’s child to avoid this emotional turmoil, she couldn’t help but mull over it.

She could not help but be drawn to the unsolvable problem.

Zhou Ziqing would occasionally call her to inflame the situation further. "Lin Xiangwan, do you really think Muchuan would cut me off? Let me tell you, I am his daughter’s mother, it’s impossible for us to sever our ties. Or else, why do you think he hasn’t said a single harsh word to me? Because he still cares about me. Wait till the paternity test comes out, he’ll treat our Duoduo even better. Do you think having a healthy baby makes you superior? Our Duoduo is what worries him most!"

"Qin Muchuan is my boyfriend, and always has been. You, yes you, the shameless intruder, stole him from me! Lin Xiangwan, you deserve a miserable death!"

Every day, she would receive such calls, how could she possibly have peace of mind?
