Chapter 497 Tenderness

After walking around, Hu Xiner felt a little tired, so she sat by the flower bed and massaged her calves.

Recently, because of my pregnancy, my legs and feet have been cramping from time to time, and soreness and fatigue are inevitable.

Fortunately, the little life in her belly was not noisy, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

"What do you think of this house?" She turned and looked at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing felt sorry for her tiredness from running around, and he also thought this house was really nice, so he said, "After seeing it today, this house is indeed the best."

"It's a pity that it's a bit cold. I don't know if it will delay Mom's recuperation." Hu Xin'er said, and she became a little confused. "Is it because winter is coming soon?"

"Maybe." Mu Qing squatted down and massaged her legs. His slender jade-like fingers kept kneading Hu Xiner's calves, and he used his internal force to massage the acupoints.

Hu Xin'er sighed comfortably: "If you think it's good, we can ask Aunt and the others to come over and take a look tomorrow. As for the price, we can probably still negotiate."

Mu Qing paused as he pressed his hand on her calf: "Is it not necessary?"

"Hmm?" Hu Xin'er tilted her head and looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qing's expression was indifferent, revealing a hint of helplessness: "If I invite them over to see me, my aunt will definitely find fault with them. It's better for us to just move in directly."

"Are you disgusted with your aunt?" Hu Xin'er chuckled. It must be said that Mu Qing had a very accurate grasp of her aunt's character.

Mu Qing said without even looking up: "She doesn't have a good temper like you, and she won't think about you. Don't be so foolish as to always try to take everyone's opinions into consideration. If you come across something that makes you feel comfortable, just buy it."

"What do you mean by foolishly considering other people's opinions?" Hu Xin'er's beautiful eyes widened slightly. "We are all family, living together. Of course, we have to seek everyone's opinions on everything."

Mu Qing said seriously, "That's not the case. They are them, and we are us."

"If you tell anyone about this, mother and the others will be sad." When Hu Xiner heard him define the boundaries, she felt a little sweet in her heart, but she looked angry.

Mu Qing had been kneeling on one knee massaging her legs when he suddenly took her hand, his gaze deep and focused. "Xin'er, we're together, so there's no need to worry about so many things. If they have any objections, I'll take them on for you. You just need to happily do what you want."

He paused and said, "No matter what, you are the most important person in my heart."

Hu Xiner was stunned. She didn't expect Mu Qing to say such words to her at this time.

Mu Qing whispered, "Xin'er, I know that what happened at home made you feel a little uneasy. The hatred between the Lu family and Liu Se made you very embarrassed, and my behavior also hurt you. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Now when he thinks about what happened before, he always feels that he was confused for a moment, as if he was possessed by a ghost.

Hu Xiner listened to the apology in his words and saw his regretful expression, and her heart softened.

"It's okay," she said softly. "It's all over."

Mu Qing shook his head: "I am your husband. No matter what happens, I should be the first one to come out to protect you and trust you."

Hu Xiner's eyes were slightly moist. She raised her head and looked up, blinking. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Si peeking at the door.

She suppressed her emotion and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's look at the house. This yard is really nice. We'll go pay the deposit later."

Mu Qing was also worried that she would compromise herself out of consideration for her family's feelings.

He helped Hu Xin'er to her feet and warned her worriedly, "The money is yours, spend it however you want. Auntie has an extreme temper. Although it's not obvious at ordinary times, in her heart, she and mother are only family, so she often doesn't care about you."

"Why haven't I noticed you nagging like this before?" Hu Xin'er laughed. "Okay, I get it."

Mu Qing still felt that what he said was not comprehensive enough, so he added, "Xin'er, you have to believe me. From now on, I will always protect you."

"You're my husband. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?" Hu Xin'er couldn't help but gently pinch the soft flesh on his waist. "Besides, I'm not a three-year-old child. Why do I need your protection?"

Mu Qing found her coquettish look adorable, so he stretched out his arms and embraced her in his arms.

Hu Xin'er exclaimed, "What are you doing? Zhao Si is still watching outside!"

Mu Qing looked at him affectionately, her tone gentle, "I have to please the rich woman at all times, so as not to be snatched away by others."

Hu Xiner was at a loss for words. After talking for so long, it turned out that her husband was jealous again.

She hit Mu Qing and warned him, "Let go quickly. I'm not interested in that immature brat."

Are you kidding? No matter how good-looking Zhao Si is, he is just a cunning and pretty boy with some pretty looks. How can he compare to my husband's godlike looks?

Mu Qing clung to her and refused to let go: "After my face is replaced, I will have to wear a mask to meet my wife."

"Don't worry, I will never fall in love with someone else!" Hu Xin'er was afraid of being discovered by Zhao Si, so she raised four fingers and swore.

Mu Qing looked at her, his hand lingering on her waist reluctantly.

A very discordant worry suddenly arose in Hu Xiner's heart. She secretly glanced somewhere and her face turned red.

She originally thought that such a secret action would not be discovered by her husband, but Mu Qing had just mustered up the courage to confess all his thoughts to his wife, and at this moment his love was at its peak.

Every subtle movement of Hu Xiner fell completely into his eyes, turning into thousands of strands of love, densely entwined in his heart and falling into his eyes.

Her innocent eyes were naturally innocent, her long eyelashes blinked gently, like a frightened butterfly, her breathing was also disrupted, making her look even more seductive.

Mu Qing's voice unconsciously became a little hoarse and alluring: "Xin'er, can we go to the room?"

"Ah?" Hu Xin'er was startled. "Room, in the room?"

Mu Qing looked towards the yard, the meaning was self-evident.

Hu Xiner silently stretched out her hand to push him away, but her gentle and understanding husband, although not firm in his attitude, was steady in his body. No matter how hard she pushed him away, he did not move.

She finally lost her temper and glared at him with wide eyes: "No! Absolutely not in a place like this!"

"My wife..." Mu Qing rubbed the top of her head with his chin, inexplicably like a big cat acting coquettishly.

But his aura enveloped Hu Xiner completely, making her face blush even more.

"Can't you divide the time and venue?" Hu Xiner didn't dare to complain loudly and could only say angrily.
