After Ziyue clearly saw that the person was Yunan, she couldn't help but frown. Her hand holding on to Muchen's subconsciously pulled him back.
Her instincts told her to be cautious around Yunan.
Muchen could feel Ziyue's movements and held her hand comfortingly. He looked at Yunan with a calm expression. "What's up?"
"Nothing much. I just happened to pass by when I saw you and Mrs. Qin. I just wanted to say hello." The smile was still on Yunan's face.
Muchen raised his brows. "Since there's nothing, we'll be leaving."
Yunan said goodbye while still smiling.
The two of them said their goodbyes to Yunan and walked to the entrance of Lumiere Jade House.
In the car, Ziyue drove as she said to Muchen, "I don't think Jingshu's brother is a good person. Stay far away from him in the future."
Muchen, who was 'tipsy,' lay back in the chair. He slightly turned his head to the side to look at Ziyue with a focused and gentle expression.
Ziyue was driving and didn't notice his expression. She continued chattering on, unconcerned about anything else.
Hearing what she said, Muchen couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Ziyue turned and looked at him, displeased. "I'm serious."
Seeing Muchen look at her without saying anything, she thought he was misunderstanding her thoughts on Jingshu, so she explained at once. "I merely feel like Jingshu's brother, Yunan, doesn't seem nice. But I don't think there's anything wrong with Jingshu. He's quite alright."
At this time, Muchen said indifferently, "You want me to stay away from him?"
Ziyue thought about it for a while and said extremely seriously, "I think someone like him is very dangerous. He's different from Jingshu. I think Jingshu is a lot purer than he is."
She didn't know what amused Muchen. He turned and covered his eyes with his hands as he laughed out loud.
Ziyue felt like there was something strange about him. She was just about to say something when she heard him ask, "What about me? What kind of person do you think I am?"
What kind of person is he?
She didn't even need to think about it. A series of words appeared in Ziyue's mind immediately. Shameless, dishonest, immoral, despicable, petty...
She couldn't help but turn to glance at Muchen and notice that he had already uncovered his eyes. Looking at him with the light from the outside, she could see his serious and slightly sober expression.
Ziyue hesitated for a moment and turned away. She said, "You are Muchen. The father of my child and the president of LK Group, a legendary person in the finance world."
Muchen was petty and held grudges. She didn't dare to say what she really thought. Otherwise, he would get revenge on her, and she wouldn't be in good shape.
This man was scarier than women when petty.
Perhaps what Ziyue had said aligned with his thoughts. He didn't say anything else to Ziyue on the way home. He leaned back in the seat and rested with a calm expression.
When they arrived home, the servant on duty greeted them at the entrance.
The two of them went to check on Zixi before they returned to their room and went to sleep.
…
The next day, Ziyue planned to bring Zixi to the company.
But when they were eating breakfast, Muchen brought up something that had to do with Zixi.
"Let's send Zixi to preschool."
Muchen said it while slowly spreading butter on his toast. His expression was no different from when he usually had a casual conversation with Ziyue.
Ziyue was about to take a sip of milk when she stopped. She was silent for a few seconds when she realized what he had said.
"You want to send Zixi to preschool? But he's too young." Ziyue hesitated at first, but her voice slowly became more certain.
She put down the fork and knife in her hands and turned to look at Zixi, who was eating an egg with a fork. The certainty in her voice increased. "I disagree. He's too young."
Muchen must have anticipated that she would disagree, so he said indifferently, "Preschools are for children. Otherwise, why would it be 'pre' school?"
"Why do you suddenly want to send him to preschool? In any case, I don't agree." Her tone implied that she was about to make trouble without reason. No matter what he said, she wouldn't agree.
"Preschool is pretty good. There are many children there. Children like to play with other children. You should know that. Furthermore, we have to go to work, and we can spend time with him on the weekends. Are you thinking of bringing him along to the company or letting him stay at home all the time?"
Muchen persuaded Ziyue patiently and logically.
After hearing what he said, Ziyue showed signs of giving in.
Zixi had become healthier but was still a little more petite than his peers.
Because of his special past, Ziyue treated him with extra care. As for preschool, she had never thought about it before.
Zixi had a weak body. She had planned to send him to kindergarten once he was a little older.
What Muchen said moved her a little.
"Let's ask Zixi what he thinks," Ziyue said softly as she sighed a little.
Zixi would never make a fuss when he ate or slept. He was very obedient.
His parents watched him eat as they were about to ask him.
Zixi felt Muchen and Ziyue's gaze on him. He looked up at them, baffled, then looked down and continued eating.
Once he was done eating, Ziyue asked softly, "Zixi, do you want to play with other friends?"
"Hmm?" It was as though Zixi didn't quite understand what she meant. Bewilderment flickered across his pitch-black eyes.
Ziyue smiled and said, "Do you remember Lulu? Daddy and I want to take you somewhere where there are a lot of friends like Lulu. Do you want to go? You can play with friends there."
Lulu was a girl in the animation Zixi had been watching recently.
Hearing what she said, his eyes lit up. It was clear he understood what she said, and he nodded. "Okay."
Ziyue was a little dumbfounded.
As expected, children like to play with other children.
Ziyue stroked his head and turned to look at Muchen. There was some disappointment in her eyes. "Alright."
Since Zixi had agreed, Ziyue couldn't disagree.
"Don't worry. I found the best preschool for him."
Muchen said it to console Ziyue a little, but he never thought it would make her glare at him instead.
Although she knew it would be good for Zixi to play with his peers, she was reluctant.
From Muchen's tone, it seemed like it wasn't an idea he had thought of on the spur of the moment.
Thinking about it, she asked, "Have you already found a good preschool?"
