Mu Wenxi stirred groggily in Lu Heting's arms. Half-asleep, he suddenly sensed something, opened his eyes, and saw Lu Heting's handsome face. He was staring intently at Mu Wenxi like a tiger locking onto its prey.
Mu Wenxi pushed him away abruptly and sat up. The next second, she felt something strange beneath her. She felt both ashamed and in pain and wanted to cry out. Her voice was soft and delicate: "Lu Heting, you can't do this just because it's a holiday. It's too much."
Lu Heting chuckled softly and pulled Mu Wenxi into his arms, saying, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. Let's sleep a little longer, my dear wife."
Mu Wenxi: "Don't forget that we're going to see Mom and Dad today."
Lu Heting closed his eyes: "I know."
Mu Wenxi wanted to kick him, but she slowly fell asleep herself.
When she woke up again, it was already noon. Lu Heting was not by her side. She got up to wash up, and Lu Heting had already prepared food.
Lu Heting: "You're awake? Perfect timing, come over for dinner. Eat a little something and then go to your parents' place tonight."
Mu Wenxi: "Thank you, husband."
Lu Heting: "No need to thank me, wife."
After finishing her meal, Mu Wenxi decided to tidy herself up.
Lu Heting knew what she wanted to do at a glance: "Go ahead, I'll load everything onto the car later."
Mu Wenxi: "And don't forget the clothes I made for Mom and Dad."
Lu Heting: "Okay, I'll take care of it. You just need to dress up nicely."
Mu Wenxi kissed Lu Heting: "My husband is so good."
The two returned home in the afternoon. As soon as they stepped through the door, Mu's parents began to shower her with concern and care.
Mother Shepherd: "Come on, little Lu, try this. This is a king crab that your dad specially asked someone to bring back."
Mu Wenxi: "Thank you, Mom."
Mu's father: "How was it? Did Xiao Lu bully you?"
Mu Wenxi: "It's more like I'm bullying him."
Just as Mu's father was about to say something, Mu's mother glared at him, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Mu Wenxi was both amused and exasperated.
That evening, Mu Wenxi took Lu Heting to see the swings in the garden.
Mu Wenxi: "Look, my dad made this for me."
Lu Heting: "I'll push you."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
The swing swayed gently; the pastor's garden was much larger than their small home.
Lu Heting: "Why don't you stay at home a little longer?"
Mu Wenxi shook her head: "I prefer our home."
Lu Heting: "Why?"
Mu Wenxi: "There's no why, our family is great."
Lu Heting sighed. His family was far inferior to the Mu family: "Xixi, will you regret it...?"
Mu Wenxi interrupted Lu Heting before he could finish speaking: "No, I will not regret it, I have never regretted it."
Lu Heting squatted down and held Mu Wenxi's hand. He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.
Mu Wenxi: "Some things cannot be judged by material things. I am very happy."
Lu Heting rested his head on Mu Wenxi's lap: "That's good."
Before bed, Mu's mother secretly pulled Mu Wenxi aside and asked, "Sweetie, when are you planning to have a baby?"
Mu Wenxi: "Mom, we don't plan to have children for the time being."
Mother Shepherd: "How can this be?"
Mu Wenxi: "Mom, we are both in the prime of our careers. I need to develop my studio. He Ting is also busy with work and often stays up late. If we have a child but don't have time to raise it, it's better not to have one."
Mother: "It's no big deal, Mom will hire a few nannies for you."
Mu Wenxi: "Mom, this isn't about whether there's a nanny or not. We hope that since we've given birth, we should be responsible for the child."
Mu's mother opened her mouth to continue trying to dissuade him, but Mu Wenxi tugged at her mother's arm: "Mom, just leave it at that. We'll have children if we want to."
After saying that, she pushed Mu Ma into her own room.
She told Lu Heting about it, and Lu Heting said, "No, I don't want to have a baby that will disturb our time as a couple. We already have so little time to spend together."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll hire a few more people to work this year, and I'll spend more time with you when I have free time, okay?"
Lu Heting: "Okay."
After staying at home for a few days, Mu Wenxi and Lu Heting still wanted to go back to their own home as soon as possible. Mu's mother pulled Mu Wenxi along, insisting on bringing them this and that.
Mother Shepherd: "These are specialties from your Aunt Zhou's family, take a little bit, and this is vegetables that the housekeeper specially sent from his hometown..."
Mu Wenxi: "Alright, alright, Mom, we have all these things, no need to bring them."
Mother Shepherd: "Isn't it because I'm worried you won't have enough to eat?"
Mu Wenxi: "How could we not have enough to eat? Our home isn't far from home. We can come over to eat whenever we want and visit you all. If that's not enough, we'll buy some ourselves."
Mother Shepherd: "Alright, alright, then we'll keep it for ourselves."
Mu Wenxi: "I'm leaving now, Mom and Dad."
Father: "Let's go, let's go. It's only a few tens of minutes by car. It's not like we're going on a long trip."
Lu Heting shook his head helplessly and carried the things given to him by his father-in-law and mother-in-law onto the car one by one.
After the holiday, the two of them continued to work diligently in their respective careers, just like before.
Mu Wenxi thought his life would just pass by simply like this, until one day Xiao A, who hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly showed up.
Mu Wenxi hadn't contacted Xiao A for a long time. Xiao A's appearance this time brought Mu Wenxi an important message: "The original female lead has appeared." Mu Wenxi was stunned; she had almost forgotten that this person even existed.
Mu Wenxi: "Where is the original female lead now?"
A: "She works at the law firm where Lu Heting works."
Mu Wenxi: "I was planning to spend more time with Lu Heting during this period."
She glanced at her watch and saw it was almost time to leave work, so she rushed to Lu Heting's company. When she arrived, she sat in her car, debating whether to get out or not, wondering if it would be too impulsive. After thinking for a moment, she sent Lu Heting a message.
Mu Wenxi: "I'm downstairs at your company, waiting for you to leave work together."
Lu Heting was in a conversation with a client when he received the message. Half an hour had passed by the time the client left and he saw the message. Fearing that Mu Wenxi would be waiting anxiously, he put down his things and went out.
The original female lead, pretending to be passing by Lu Heting's office hoping to catch a glimpse, quickly called out, "Brother Lu, where are you going?"
Lu Heting didn't respond. He was happy to think that his baby was waiting for him at the door. Mu Wenxi had never picked him up from work before. Why did she suddenly come today? Had something happened? But her tone didn't seem like it. Could it be a surprise for him?
He walked out the door with anticipation and joy, and there was a car parked not far from the company entrance.
Lu Heting walked over and opened the car door: "Xixi, you're here?"
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll wait for you to get off work together, honey."
Lu Heting felt a surge of heat, sensing that Mu Wenxi seemed a little different today. Without thinking much of it, he pulled Mu Wenxi into the company.
"Please sit here for a moment, I'll be right there."
