Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 2076: Chapter 479: You’re the Most Important One

"About a year ago... when we wanted to have children, I went for a check-up and it turned out I had low sperm viability... so, to be precise, the chance of having children is almost zero."

Mu Wan: "..."

With each word Qin Mu spoke, Mu Wan felt as if her heart were being cut by a knife.

Mu Wan’s face turned pale, drained of all color.

The man in front of her, shedding his playful and indifferent demeanor, revealed nothing but earnestness and sincerity.

No matter how playful Qin Mu usually was, he would never joke about such matters.

"The reason I didn’t tell you is that I didn’t want to lose you. After all, a child’s importance to a woman is something I somewhat understand after seeing Ran Niu."

"I won’t leave you. No matter what, I will never leave you."

Before Qin Mu could finish, Mu Wan couldn’t help but speak up.

Mu Wan’s decisiveness and spontaneity were within Qin Mu’s expectations.

Although Mu Wan tried hard to control her emotions, she couldn’t hide the redness in her eyes and the tears welling up.

"Wanwan, I don’t want to burden you..."

Upon hearing Qin Mu say this, Mu Wan shook her head, her eyes red.

"It doesn’t matter if we don’t have children, as long as I have you..."

With that, Mu Wan stood up without caring about being in a restaurant and went forward to hug Qin Mu.

Mu Wan’s way of expressing emotions had always been a bit shy, so being able to initiate affection in public was progress for her.

"I wanted to have children, but more than that, I wanted to have them with you..."

Mu Wan whispered softly, "Actually, in my heart, you are what matters most."

Qin Mu’s dark eyes flickered slightly. From the hospital to now, he had been trying hard to pretend he really had oligospermia...

But his wife’s reactions deeply moved him.

In his heart, Qin Mu couldn’t help but feel proud. He hadn’t realized he was that important to his wife...

"Fool, big fool, it must have been hard to keep this secret for so long. The one who should apologize is me; I didn’t know and didn’t protect you."

"It’s okay."

Listening to Qin Mu say it was okay actually made Mu Wan feel even more heartbroken.

"Hmm... let’s not talk about this anymore, OK? We’ll keep it secret from our parents and grandfather for now, so they don’t worry..."

"Okay."

Seeing Mu Wan’s emotional state, Qin Mu gently comforted her, kissing her forehead with indulgent affection clearly visible.

"My wife is really amazing."

Mu Wan, with her eyes still red, hoarsely said, "Silly Qin Mu, if it were me in this situation, I believe you would also stay by my side unconditionally to protect me..."

For some reason, Mu Wan felt Qin Mu’s body stiffen intensely as she said those words, and her eyes were filled with unrecognizable meaning.

Qin Mu then tightly pulled Mu Wan into his arms.

"As long as you stay by my side, that’s enough... children aren’t important; what’s important has always been you..."

"Hmm."

The two embraced tenderly, marking the biggest incident since they were married.

The misunderstanding had been cleared up, and Mu Wan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Mu Wan rested quietly in Qin Mu’s arms, chuckling softly before looking up apologetically to speak.

"Actually, before, you always took precautions and didn’t want to have children with me. I thought maybe you didn’t love me... thinking back now, I feel really foolish."

Mu Wan felt full of self-reproach.

"It’s okay..."

Qin Mu lovingly ruffled Mu Wan’s hair, while Mu Wan felt peaceful in Qin Mu’s embrace, softly murmuring.

"Qin Mu, let’s be honest with each other from now on, no misunderstandings between us, whatever the situation, agreed? Because... I’m really afraid of losing you."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Qin Mu kissed Mu Wan’s hair and held her tightly in his arms.

All deeper meanings, unsaid...

...

The two finished their warm and romantic lunch and returned to Yuncheng City together.

With everything out in the open, there was no longer any misunderstanding.

On the way back, Mu Wan noticed the accompanying bodyguards and apologized to them with a bow.

After all... her sudden departure must have gotten them punished quite a bit.

The bodyguards couldn’t withstand Mu Wan’s apology and quickly reassured her that it was fine, following Qin Mu closely to ensure their safety.

During the ride, Mu Wan quietly reached out her small hand to grasp Qin Mu’s big hand and nestled against his arm, feeling drowsy.
