Chapter 43 They slept in each other's arms

"No... Waaaaaah..."

Mu Yin heard crying and shouting in his sleep.

He was a light sleeper to begin with, and the sound instantly woke him up.

Mu Yin murmured, "Who's crying!"

He listened carefully and discovered that the crying was coming from Song Chi's room.

"It's Chi Chi crying!"

He felt a sudden, uncomfortable sensation, as if a cat had scratched his heart.

For the first time in his life, he felt panicked. He hurriedly got out of bed and went out barefoot without even putting on slippers.

In the past, the aloof and powerful CEO Mu would never have gone barefoot; it would have been so damaging to his image as a domineering CEO!

Mu Yin arrived at Song Chi's room and knocked on the door.

"Chichi, what's wrong?"

Song Chi did not respond, but sobs could be heard coming from inside the room.

Mu Yin had no choice but to offend her and open her door.

"Waaaaah..."

Song Chi curled up, her body trembling, and she was crying softly.

"Chichi, why are you crying?"

Mu Yin noticed that Song Chi had her eyes tightly closed, her brows furrowed, and she was sobbing from time to time.

He checked her temperature and found it was normal.

Mu Yin guessed, "Was it a nightmare?"

Song Chi woke up from her nightmare when she heard Mu Yin's voice.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Yin's handsome face magnified, as if he could kiss her lips if he were any closer.

Song Chi's heart skipped a beat.

"Uncle... Uncle..."

She tried to get up, but Mu Yin quickly helped her sit up.

Song Chi glanced at the time; it was already 2 a.m.

Song Chi asked suspiciously, "Uncle, what are you doing in my room?"

"Chichi, I heard you crying just now, so I came in to check on you."

Song Chi murmured, "Should I cry again?"

"Hmm, why are you crying? Did something bad happen?"

Mu Yin looked at the tears still on her face and clearly felt a pang of heartache in his heart. However, he didn't have time to figure out why he felt this way.

He reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips.

His touch felt like an electric current, sending a tingling sensation through her entire body.

Song Chi suppressed the unfamiliar emotions in his heart and tried hard to recall.

She remembered now; she had finally fallen asleep, but had a nightmare in which the man ran off with another woman, abandoning her and their three children...

Thinking of this, Song Chi pouted.

"Uncle, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you turned into a jerk, that you didn't want me anymore, and that you didn't want the children anymore..."

At this point, her voice changed to one of grievance.

Mu Yin: "..."

He was very surprised.

He's the dignified CEO of Mu Group, single for thirty years, suddenly getting married in a flash, without even a female fly around him. How could he possibly be that kind of vulgar scumbag?

Mu Yin gently ruffled her hair.

"Chichi, don't overthink it. I won't have an extramarital affair, much less do something as vulgar and despicable as abandoning my wife and children! Besides, dreams are the opposite of reality; they won't come true!"

Song Chi murmured to himself: Is that so?

But why is her eyelid twitching?

Perhaps it was because she overheard him on the phone saying, "Luo Wanwan is back."

Song Chi felt uneasy; she really wanted to ask the uncle who Luo Wanwan was.

She opened her mouth to say something, but the words that came out were—

"Really?"

After saying that, Song Chi bit her lip. She felt very pathetic at that moment, not even having the courage to ask a question.

Why is this happening?

Has she fallen for an older man?

Thinking of this, Song Chi's heart pounded wildly again.

She quickly shook her head, suppressing the thoughts in her mind.

She told herself that she must have gotten used to the older man's kindness, and that her feelings were just a result of being anxious about losing him.

"Really!" Mu Yin glanced at the clock: "Chichi, it's already two in the morning. Pregnant women shouldn't stay up late. Go to sleep!"

He put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her as she lay back down on the bed.

Song Chi opened his eyes and said, "Uncle, I can't sleep right now, and I'm also afraid I'll have another nightmare later."

Mu Yin pondered for a moment: "Shall I accompany you?"

After saying this, he felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Song Chi: "..."

She was so ashamed that she wanted to bite off her own tongue.

What she just said could easily be misunderstood; she was inviting him to stay.

Her heart pounded and her face flushed.

"No...no need..."

Seeing her pretty face as red as a red apple, Mu Yin really wanted to take a bite and taste what it was like.

He grinned and said, "Chichi, I'll stay with you. Once you're asleep, I'll go back to my room, okay?"

Song Chi: "..."

She thought to herself: It's easy for a problem to arise when a man and a woman are alone in a room together.

They were already husband and wife, and had already consummated their marriage. It wasn't that she was against him sharing a bed with her, but rather that they had rarely slept intimately together before, and she was a little nervous and not used to it!

However, considering that she was pregnant with triplets, she guessed that the older man probably wouldn't do anything reckless.

She pondered for a while before saying, "Okay."

"Chichi, go to sleep."

Mu Yin adjusted his position and lay down beside her.

Upon seeing this, Song Chi's face turned even redder.

Meeting the smile in his eyes, Song Chi felt even more embarrassed and quickly closed her eyes.

Song Chi lay on the bed, not daring to open her eyes, but she could feel a man sitting next to her. His gentle body temperature seemed to give her a sense of security.

She really liked this sense of security.

In her daze, she shifted her body, snuggling closer to Mu Yin's embrace.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yin grinned foolishly.

His voice was deep and pleasant: "Little Chichi, goodnight."

The nickname 'Little Pond' made Song Chi's heart pound.

She didn't open her eyes, leaning against Mu Yin's elbow, and murmured, "Uncle, goodnight!"

The silvery moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the entire room.

Inside the room, the man and woman lying together created a scene so beautiful it resembled a painting.

Song Chi leaned against Mu Yin, his mood gradually calmed down, and as time passed, he slowly fell asleep.

Mu Yin let her hold his arm.

In the stillness of the night, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

The two of them snuggled together, lay on the same bed, and fell asleep.

...

On the other side

Li Bowen held his phone and saw the composite photo his friend had sent him.

He grinned, "These photos of the pot look exactly like the real thing, not a single trace of Photoshop... If this gets posted out, people will have no choice but to believe it! Hehe, Song Chi, you little bastard, you wouldn't buy me shoes, you became famous, you became an internet celebrity, you didn't feed me, I'll make sure you never have a good time again..."

Li Bowen chuckled slyly, his wicked face hardly resembling that of a twelve-year-old boy.

He came to the forum, edited the title #New Internet Celebrity 'Xiao Chi's Indecent Photos Leaked!#, and also wrote a long essay, the content of which was full of dissing Song Chi, adding fuel to the fire and making her extremely embarrassed.

Once this short essay was published, it was quickly forwarded by netizens and even attracted the attention of other marketing accounts!

What Song Chi didn't know was that her overnight fame would also bring her enormous trouble...
