Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 2075: Chapter 479: You’re the Most Important

Hospital Hallway:

Mu Wan looked at Qin Mu, who didn’t seem to be joking, and couldn’t squeeze out even a trace of a smile on her lips...

She wanted to lift her hand to hold the man’s arm, reach out to pinch his nose, and tell him not to joke with her.

But she was stiff all over.

Her intuition told her that Qin Mu was serious...

Intuition told her that all of Qin Mu’s abnormal behaviors over such a long period were rooted in this.

Mu Wan’s face turned deathly pale, and after a long while, even before she could open her mouth to speak, Qin Mu had already said: "Wanwan, I’m serious, I don’t want to hide it from you... I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long."

Mu Wan: "..."

She was still in a state of shock, unable to come to her senses for quite some time.

Qin Mu deeply stared at the woman in front of him and said, "I’m sorry."

Mu Wan: "..."

It was as if... she couldn’t hear any sound at all.

Mu Wan slowly lifted her gaze to meet the man’s dark eyes. His sincerity made her heart ache.

Mu Wan sniffled, and almost without hesitation, she raised her hand to hook around the man’s neck, hugging him tightly.

"Don’t say sorry... please, don’t say sorry."

Qin Mu: "..."

The woman’s reaction was beyond his expectations.

He had thought the little girl would cry, but she seemed to be stronger than he imagined.

Qin Mu pursed his lips, allowing Mu Wan to hold him tightly.

"Hmm?"

"It’s okay, with science so advanced now... it’s really not a big deal..."

Mu Wan rambled on, saying all the comforting words she could think of.

"Besides... there are so many kids around, like Tang Bao, Cubao, Qin Jin, Qin Song... In the future, Nuannuan and Mr. Huo will have kids too... With so many kids, we don’t necessarily have to have one ourselves."

"And also... kids cry a lot, they make a lot of noise... If we’re lucky enough to have a quiet one like Tang Bao, then we’d be lucky. But if we get a mischievous one, we might end up crying instead..."

In short...

Mu Wan used all the comforting words Qin Mu had used before to comfort him now.

She just didn’t know how much of it Qin Mu would actually take to heart.

Qin Mu: "..."

Listening to her words, Qin Mu’s lips curved upward, his dark eyes filled with deep emotion.

Mu Wan had moved him.

"Hmm, when you put it like that, it makes sense..."

"Yes, it really does, facts speak louder than words."

Mu Wan lifted her head from the man’s embrace, looked seriously at Qin Mu, and nodded earnestly, reaffirming her words, implying that she meant every word and wasn’t making anything up.

"Hmm."

Qin Mu gazed deeply into the eyes of the woman in front of him, his thin lips curling up.

"Let’s go eat first."

"Okay."

Mu Wan obediently let Qin Mu take her small hand, walking alongside him, looking at his handsome face, and then tightly clasping the man’s large hand.

Afraid of losing...

Afraid that Qin Mu would leave her because of this.

She finally understood why on so many days and nights before, Qin Mu often held her tightly in his arms.

That look... clearly worried about losing her.

Yet she foolishly knew nothing.

Thinking about it now, Mu Wan was full of regret and remorse.

How could there be such a foolish woman as herself in the world...

...

Along the way, Mu Wan was somewhat absent-minded, being led by Qin Mu, who held her small hand, sitting in the car... driving, leaving, parking, getting out, taking the cable car, and then reaching the restaurant.

Then they dined.

When ordering, Mu Wan quickly searched her mind for what Qin Mu liked to eat, intending to order two of his favorite dishes, but obviously, Qin Mu was faster, already telling the server what he preferred, and the order was placed.

Mu Wan looked up to examine this restaurant, Southeast City’s most famous cliffside restaurant, perched on a cliff with a distant view of the mountains.

Only upon careful inspection did Mu Wan realize that she and Qin Mu were the only guests in the entire restaurant.

If she was not mistaken, someone must have booked the entire restaurant.

Thinking of this, Mu Wan felt a bit disdainful of the man.

But there was no time for disdain today, as she was more filled with heartache...

Mu Wan’s mind was in a whirl, and after downing two large glasses of water, she finally asked, "When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?"
