Before they knew it, they were nearing the entrance to the main hall. The butler hesitated and slowed his pace, as if he wanted to say something, but after looking at her thoughtfully, he didn't say anything.
Yu Qianqian didn't think much of it. Without even glancing at him, she stepped lightly across the threshold. Following her gaze, she saw Mu Beichen sitting quietly near the window. Upon seeing her enter, he smiled brightly and said, "Qianqian... come, sit down and eat first. I have some good news to tell you later."
Yu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh softly, her face slowly darkening: "Don't wait any longer, let's start talking now."
She moved closer to Mu Beichen, and they sat facing each other. He was holding a bowl of soup, but he hadn't drunk a drop. The two of them were silent with their eyes lowered, but the innate temperament they unintentionally revealed was quite different.
Yu Qianqian bit her lip and stammered, "Husband, which family's daughter do you want? I'll help you find a match."
Mu Beichen quickly put down the bowl of soup and looked up at her in surprise. He didn't know what was wrong with this woman today. Her words were so bizarre. If he didn't explain things clearly beforehand, he might not be able to finish his meal.
"Eat quickly, after you finish eating we'll go to the palace," Mu Beichen said calmly. "The weather's not good today, so let's go early and come back early." After saying that, he continued to bury his head in his soup, not even glancing at her.
Is he planning to go to the palace to choose a woman for himself?
Yu Qianqian was completely confused by what he said and didn't speak for a long time. Just like him, she ate her food in silence, but she was secretly full of worries and had a strong will that she was unwilling to tell anyone.
The housekeeper continued serving the dishes, bringing the steaming food to the table. She casually picked up a bite and stuffed it into her mouth. She absentmindedly looked up and met Mu Beichen's face, which was full of worries. Suddenly, an unusual feeling of oppression welled up in her heart. His gaze towards her was slightly heavy, and even the tone of his voice was somewhat somber.
"You can go out now."
Yu Qianqian's mind was in turmoil. Seeing that everyone had left and gone far away, she stared blankly at Mu Beichen. "I've finished eating too. Just say what you have to say."
Mu Beichen's gaze shifted, locking onto her face. Seeing her anxious expression, he was momentarily speechless, unsure how to begin. He hesitated for a long time before Yu Qianqian blurted out, "Do you want to divorce me?"
"What divorce? Marriage is not a game!" Mu Beichen immediately frowned, his irritable tone even more urgent than hers. "You can only be my wife for the rest of your life, and that will never change. It is true now, and it will be true in the future."
Seeing that the topic had been brought up, Yu Qianqian said without any hesitation, "But you haven't spoken to me these past few days. Isn't it because of another woman?"
"Of course not. I'm a germaphobe in this regard. You've always been the only one for me." Mu Beichen said, then got up and walked around to sit next to her. Looking into her eyes, he said, "Madam... Qianqian, we're here to pick up our daughter and take her home."
Yu Qianqian stared at him, her pupils and mouth widening in astonishment: "Husband, what nonsense are you talking about? Where did we get a daughter?"
