Chapter 703: 709 Quiet night, tranquil moon_1

After Grandma Qin left, Lin Xiangwan fell back into a deep sleep.

It wasn’t until her stomach began to rumble loudly that she reluctantly woke up.

By that time, it was already dark outside, the arrival of deep winter had shortened the days, and the smog in city B had once again intensified. This created a rather oppressive atmosphere.

She was lying in bed, completely unwilling to make the slightest movement.

Even when her children came into the room and gathered around her bed.

Of course, in her current state, she was not eager to face her children.

They would be worried upon seeing her, and probably even think that she, as their mother, was useless, right?

"Mom seems to still be asleep!" Ranran examined her mother’s face closely, then spoke to Tongtong.

The older sister tugged her little brother, urging him not to make a fuss. "Mom must be really tired, let’s go outside!"

"Yeah, let’s do our homework. When Mom awakens, we will do a checkup on her!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Hand in hand, the two children left the room.

Only after the children had left did Lin Xiangwan finally open her eyes.

Soon after, Aunt Liu walked in carrying a bowl of Jujube Porridge and turned on the lights. "Young Mistress, you’re awake!"

Lin Xiangwan lifted her eyes and smiled. "Did my millet porridge arrive? Aunt Liu, bring it to me quickly, I’m famished!"

Aunt Liu looked rather distressed. "Young Mistress..."

Unaware of Aunt Liu’s discomfort, Lin Xiangwan cheerfully reached forward to take the bowl.

But upon receiving it, she realized that it wasn’t the millet porridge she had been expecting.

Aunt Liu, with her head hanging low, said with sympathy, "Young Mistress, unfortunately, we ran out of millet porridge. I could only make this for you! But jujube is also very tasty, it nourishes the blood, and is great for your health."

Lin Xiangwan took a spoonful and ate it, responding casually. "Yes, it’s really tasty! As long as Aunt Liu cooked it, I’ll surely like it."

Her indifference only made Aunt Liu more upset, unable to stop her tears. "Young Mistress, why does this family have to be like this? There is actually millet porridge available, they just gave it to that despicable Zhou Ziqing instead...I couldn’t do anything..."

Lin Xiangwan chuckled. "Hehe, I guessed as much. They’re all mistresses after all, they understand each other’s plight. It doesn’t matter! Actually, the Jujube Porridge is really good! I craved millet porridge in the afternoon, but after waking up in the evening, I was actually in the mood for Jujube Porridge! Let them have it if they want to snatch everything!"

"Even the old madam is siding with that woman!"

Lin Xiangwan smiled. "She is considered a savior of the Qin Family, so it’s natural for the old madam to favor her!"

Aunt Liu sniffed. "I don’t believe she is the one helping. It could simply be that our young master’s company is good, so the government gave the project to him again. As for that woman, it might just be a stroke of fortune!"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan simply smiled but didn’t continue the conversation.

The state-owned project was successfully approved, securing Qin Muchuan’s position as the chairman of the board.

His supporting shareholders could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

That night, everyone gathered in a hotel to celebrate.

"Chairman Qin is truly remarkable! He has won over the entire group, it was quite a spectacle!" A shareholder with a southern accent toasted.

Another shareholder stated. "I don’t care about the others, I have always supported Chairman Qin!"

Qin Muchuan raised his glass and thanked all the shareholders. "Thank you all for your support. I hope you will continue to support me in the future!"

"Please rest assured on that matter, Chairman Qin!"

Qin Muchuan toasted them again, and then said somewhat apologetically, "I still have a lot of work to handle today, so I’ll leave first. Please continue!"

"Sure, sure..."

Everyone enthusiastically sent him off. The truth was, Qin Muchuan always carried an aura of authority that made people afraid, which made them feel restrained whenever he was around.

It was only after his departure that they felt relaxed.

After leaving the hotel, Qin Muchuan got into his car and asked his assistant, "Did you find out who helped us with the project?"

"Mr. Qin, it was personally taken care of by Commissioner Qi!"

"Commissioner Qi?"

Qin Muchuan was surprised. For a long time, the Qin Family had not had any direct contact with Commissioner Qi, it was unexpected that he helped them so much in this crucial period!

"Who made the arrangements? Did you find out?"

The assistant shook his head.

Qin Muchuan closed his eyes, trying figure out who it could be!

The commissioner has a son and a daughter. Although he had known his son since childhood, their relationship was not that deep.

As for his daughter, due to their age gap, he seldom comes in contact with her.

Besides, Qi Zhenzhen went abroad at a very young age...

However, he heard that she recently returned?

She seems to be connected with Xiao Qingcang...

Could it be Xiao Qingcang?

No, it can’t be him. If it was Xiao Qingcang, he should have told him.

Moreover, Xiao Qingcang already has a woman he likes, how could he easily communicate with Qi Zhenzhen?

That would be owing her a big favor!

Su Yueze...

Yes, he should know about this relationship...

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The tightly shut bedroom door slowly opened, and then gently closed.

Qin Muchuan watched as the person lying in bed drifted back into sleep. He sat by her side, silently watching her peaceful face.

The dim light reflected in his eyes, brightening them.

Qin Muchuan felt a sense of heartache, self-reproach, and guilt.

This woman was truly a fool, risking her life for just about anything.

Why couldn’t she understand that nothing is more precious than her health!

Lin Xiangwan woke up with a start, taking a while to open her eyes. The moment she saw Qin Muchuan, she clearly seemed startled and fearful. "You..."

Her panicked appearance was met with his cold gaze. "Are you really that afraid of me? You’re this scared of me?"

Lin Xiangwan spoke hoarsely, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Who said you could sit next to me?"

Qin Muchuan restrained his impulse to shake her. "Did you learn your lesson this time? Will you dare to drink recklessly in the future?"

Lin Xiangwan turned her head away, "None of your business, if I want to drink, I’ll drink!"

"Do you want to hasten your death?"

"..."

Qin Muchuan nodded slowly, "Indeed, if you want to leave your children in the care of some other woman, then by all means, go ahead and drink!"

"Rest assured, I won’t do as you wish!" Lin Xiangwan swore she would never drink again!

"It seems like you’re quite unhappy with me!" Qin Muchuan raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yes!"

"If you’re unhappy, you’re free to leave!" Qin Muchuan pointed to the door.

Lin Xiangwan was taken aback, completely surprised that he was trying to kick her out in the middle of the night!

"What did you say?"

"Out, get out now!" Qin Muchuan grabbed her wrist.

"You..."

"I heard you slept all day, you should be wide awake by now!"
