The warm sunlight streamed through the window, bathing my body in a comforting glow that made me want to stay in bed, savoring the tranquility and beauty of the moment.
Mu Run lay on the recliner, her eyes closed, and vaguely recalled a memory from her modern days, a warm autumn afternoon.
It was at a beach hotel, where she and her boss were away on a business trip for a big order.
Because their company desperately needed that order, they used all their energy and time to investigate and discuss, and then negotiate with their partners until they finally secured the order. By then, they were completely exhausted.
Her boss was a handsome man with thin, pale lips that hinted at a coolness, and slightly upturned eyes that exuded a restrained yet sharp aura. Everyone in the company, whether married or single, idolized him, some even harboring infatuated fantasies.
She was no exception; she had romantic feelings for him, but she quickly suppressed them.
Because he has a girlfriend.
It was at the beach hotel that she saw his girlfriend, a woman in a white dress, as beautiful as an angel.
She even happened to eavesdrop on their conversation. And as she was listening, the boss caught her. He was shirtless, with only a towel around his waist, and he caught her in the act with amusement in his eyes. She awkwardly scratched the floor with her toes... Of course, that completely killed off that inappropriate thought.
"Ah, why did I think of that?" Mu Run opened her eyes groggily, her face slightly flushed as she recalled the romantic encounter.
As she stood up, gripping the armrest of the recliner, she met a pair of strange and deep heterochromatic eyes!
Fu Yunchen sat quietly beside her, a book in his hand, watching her intently. She wore a light purple robe, with intricate floral patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The elaborate and layered designs made the robe exceptionally ornate, but against his cold, resolute, and profound temperament and handsome face, it could only serve as a backdrop.
"What did you remember?" His voice was gentle, revealing obvious concern.
Mu Run knew he was referring to memories.
She did recall the past, but the memories of the present were definitely not from this body.
"No, I don't remember anything." Mu Run paused slightly, then replied evasively, "It was just a nightmare."
Fu Yunchen looked at her for a long time, knowing she was lying. Why would she blush when she was having a nightmare? He didn't expose her, but raised an eyebrow and said, "Someone asked me for two hundred catties of tea. Can you provide it?"
Mu Run thought for a moment, "What price?"
“Three hundred taels per catty,” Fu Yunchen replied.
Mu Run instantly perked up, walked to the table, poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it down. "Of course I need some. I'll go roast some tea right now."
Fu Yunchen asked, "What dream did you have just now? Was it related to me?"
Mu Run shook her head without thinking, "It's okay."
Fu Yunchen's expression subtly changed before returning to normal.
Mu Run put down her water glass and looked at Fu Yunchen, deciding to tell him what had been bothering her all morning: "Um, Long Qian said Huanhuan and Tuantuan are yours."
Fu Yunchen was not surprised at all. "Yes."
Although he didn't know how she got pregnant...
But the child is his, without a doubt.
Mu Run added, "Let's change the children's surname back to Fu at the academy. Also, do you have a family genealogy? Register them in the genealogy." She didn't want Huanhuan and Tuantuan to be illegitimate children of unknown origin.
The book in Fu Yunchen's hand fell to the ground with a 'thud'.
He was very surprised that Mu Run would take the initiative to ask the children to be included in the family genealogy.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"You want to be included in the family genealogy?"
"It's the children who need it, I don't." Mu Run felt a little hungry and thought about roasting tea later, which was hard work. She took a piece of osmanthus red bean paste cake from the snack plate on the table and ate it.
Fu Yunchen understood. "You want to give your children a proper status and worry about what others will say about them. But you want to be free and don't care what kind of identity you are perceived as."
"...more or less." Mu Run nodded.
"To put it bluntly, you treat me like a tool. You only use me when you need me, and you don't even think about it when you don't." So, who exactly was the person in her recent 'nightmare'?
Mu Run didn't expect him to think that way. "I didn't treat you as a tool. It's just... if you don't want them to be included in the family tree, I can take them to start their own household."
"Don't even think about it. They are of the Fu family bloodline." Fu Yunchen's voice was filled with anger.
Mu Run frowned. "Then add them to the family tree and continue the Fu family line. What's the rush?"
Fu Yunchen walked up to her, grabbed her chin, looked at her lips still covered in pastry crumbs, and kissed her. This kiss was unstoppable, and he eagerly took her kiss.
Mu Run was initially taken aback by his sudden attack, but after regaining her senses, she forcefully pushed him away, shouting, "What are you doing!?"
Fu Yunchen said, "Before a child reaches adulthood, their status depends on their mother. It's no problem for them to be included in the family genealogy as direct descendants. You also need to be included in the Fu family genealogy and become my woman, Fu Yunchen!"
Mu Run was struck dumb, her body cracking open...
Seeing her bewildered expression, Fu Yunchen frowned and angrily turned away.
Mu Run was speechless. Finally, she raised her hand to touch her lips, her face turning a belated red!
"His woman?"
No!
She isn't!
...
Fu Yunchen picked up Huanhuan and Tuantuan from school on time.
Yan Zhengkun personally handed the two children over to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen said to Yan Zhengkun, "Change the surnames of the two children back to Fu."
"Actually, nothing has been changed," Yan Zhengkun said with a smile.
"Um."
Holding a child in each arm, Fu Yunchen said goodbye to Yan Zhengkun and left the academy.
Mo Xiaowan hurriedly chased after Fu Yunchen with two boxes of pastries in her hands, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."
Fu Yunchen stopped and saw the snack box in Mo Xiaowan's hand. He looked down at Tuantuan first; Tuantuan had her little head resting on Fu Yunchen's shoulder, looking sleepy. Huanhuan, on the other hand, was quite energetic and also looked at Mo Xiaowan who was running over.
Fu Yunchen asked Huanhuan, "Did you forget something?"
Huanhuan was clever and also noticed the two pastry boxes in Mo Xiaowan's hand. She replied, "No, I said I wanted to take them home, but Aunt Wan said the boxes were washed and not dry yet, so it's not too late to take them tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, these are Huanhuan and Tuantuan's snack boxes. The children forgot to bring them." Mo Xiaowan took out a delicate net bag made of fine rattan from her sleeve and put the two boxes inside.
Fu Yunchen handed the money to Huanhuan, saying, "Thanks."
Mo Xiaowan quickly replied, "No need, no need, the two children are very well-behaved at the academy."
"It's good that I didn't cause you too much trouble," Fu Yunchen replied.
Madam Cai, holding Tian Tian's hand, also came over. She first bowed to Fu Yunchen, and then said to Mo Xiaowan, "See you tomorrow, Mr. Mo."
