"Aren't you hungry? Eat."
Lin Lin seemed to realize that he had lost his composure just now. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried to speak to her in a calm tone.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qingyun frowned even more deeply, lowered her gaze to the food on the table, and said, "Could you tell me what happened? How did she die, and how did you hide her?"
She finished speaking, but received no reply from Lin Lin for a long time.
Looking up, I saw Lin Lin leisurely picking up food and eating with chopsticks.
Don't you want to answer her question?
Watching Lin Lin eat, she remained silent for a while before picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat as well.
Since Lin Lin didn't want to answer her question, she certainly couldn't just stand there like a fool and watch him eat.
She was hungry, so she ate more to replenish her energy.
During the meal, the two ate in silence, the air filled with the aroma of food and the only sound being the tapping of chopsticks.
The craftsmanship is not bad.
Mu Qingyun put down her chopsticks, just about to drink some water, when Lin Lin's voice suddenly came from in front of her, "Are you a plant-based ability user?"
"Hmm." She paused, holding the cup, and looked at Lin Lin with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he was asking this.
"Yueheng's genes are really good; she actually gave birth to a plant-based superhuman who is one in ten thousand years." Lin Lin took the cup that Yueheng was aiming at and took a sip of water.
Mu Qingyun stared blankly at the cup that someone had snatched away, "Not only do I have plant-based abilities, but I also have dual abilities. So, if I were to take her away, you wouldn't be able to beat me even if you risked your life."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lin's hand, which was gripping the cup, stiffened for a moment. He placed the cup on the table and stared at her coldly. "You can try."
“She’s not necessarily happy here with you, and she cares a lot about me,” she said casually, staring at the cup a little distance away from her. She picked it up and took a sip of water.
"That woman found me back then and wanted to work with me."
Unexpectedly, Lin Lin began to recount what had happened before.
Mu Qingyun perked up, sipping water slowly and listening attentively to Lin Lin's words.
“I agreed. On the day Yueheng gave birth, that woman asked me to meet her at the palace gate. That day, I picked up Yueheng and took her away.”
When Yueheng woke up, she asked me where the child was and why she was there.
He paused for a moment, as if he found it difficult to begin what he was about to say.
Taking a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he continued, "I lied to her. I told her the child was gone, and that Mu Jingfeng sent people to kill her for that woman. I saved her."
Later, that woman indeed took her place and became queen in her name. At the time, she didn't believe it, so I showed her the live stream on my phone.
The moment that woman and Mu Jingfeng emerged carrying the child, she went mad, silently staring at her phone and weeping, uttering not a single word.
"What does this mean? It's crazy." Mu Qingyun didn't want to interrupt, thinking it would be impolite to say something to others.
But upon hearing this story, she couldn't help but feel genuinely saddened for Yueheng.
"I later took her to see a doctor, who said she had suffered a shock, which caused her to lose her emotions and some of her language abilities. She also can't stand hearing the name 'Mu Jingfeng,' because it makes her react like she just did." Lin Lin's face was full of pain, and the tenderness and sadness in her eyes didn't seem faked.
Mu Qingyun drank the last sip of water from her cup and casually placed the empty cup on the table.
It turns out she had lost her emotions and some of her language abilities. No wonder I was so embarrassed when I saw her earlier, and she was speaking one word at a time.
"Qingyun, Qingyun..."
A faint sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and Yueheng's voice called out to her echoed in the silent space.
"I'm here," Mu Qingyun replied, glancing at Lin Lin before quickly stepping forward and standing in front of Yue Heng.
When Yueheng saw her, she became flustered again, fiddling with her fingers anxiously. After hesitating for a long time, she looked at Lin Lin who was walking towards her and said, "I want to chat with my daughter for a while, just the two of us."
Hearing this, Lin Lin was stunned for a moment. His gaze went back and forth between Yue Heng and her face for a long time. Under Yue Heng's expectant eyes, he finally gave in, "Okay, I'll wait for you under the cherry blossom tree."
After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
Seeing him leave, Mu Qingyun recalled her previous interactions with her mother, forced a smile, and said, "Mom, let's sit on the sofa and talk."
“Okay.” Yueheng had no objection to this, but when she saw Mu Qingyun reach out to help her, she couldn’t help but stiffen and quickly withdrew her hand.
Mu Qingyun awkwardly withdrew her hand and walked to the sofa first.
But before she had taken more than a few steps, she suddenly heard a sobbing sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Yueheng covering her face and crying softly.
Mu Qingyun: "..."
She pursed her lips. Faced with this situation, she really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, "Sister, you're the one who just embarrassed me, okay? I didn't even cry, so why are you crying?"
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to." As Yueheng spoke, she squatted down and curled up silently in a ball, like a helpless kitten that had been abandoned.
"It's okay, I'm not angry." Mu Qingyun walked back, wanting to pat her back to comfort her, but remembering her resistance just now, he finally withdrew his hand that was halfway out.
Yueheng cried for a while, but whether she was exhausted or remembered that she still had something to say, she wiped away her tears and stood up again.
Mu Qingyun thought for a moment and then walked to the sofa first. She didn't talk to Yue Heng. If she didn't touch Yue Heng, Yue Heng wouldn't be sad because she was avoiding her.
The two finally sat down on the sofa. Yue Heng calmed down and looked up at her. "I'm sorry. I thought you had been killed long ago, so I didn't look for you all these years and you never felt any love from your mother."
"I know you have your reasons, Mom. I've never blamed you. Besides, didn't you come to see me a few days ago?"
Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes. She was speaking on behalf of the original owner. Although she didn't know whether the original owner truly hated her, she thought that if the original owner knew what Yue Heng had gone through, she would only feel sorry for him.
Hearing her say that, Yueheng finally smiled, and his expression became a little more natural.
"By the way, Mom, why did you go to the freshman orientation ceremony?" Mu Qingyun hesitated for a moment before asking her question.
The freshman enrollment ceremony was held at the military academy. Ordinary people cannot enter the military academy, let alone Yue Heng, who "has" the face of a queen.
