Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 618 - 263.【_3

Mu Jin Huan just wanted his daughter to stand on the ground for a moment, so he could wipe her tears away, but Pea clung tightly to his neck, her little face buried in his collarbone, refusing to listen to anything.

He could only helplessly carry her in the direction where Wanxia was.

After the little girl finished acting spoiled, she felt a bit shy. Wanxia, being perceptive, certainly wouldn’t tease her because even three-year-olds have their pride.

She acted as if she hadn’t seen anything, naturally greeting Mu Jin Huan, "Brother, sorry to trouble you. You’re so busy, it must be tiring to run back and forth. By the way, where’s Sister-in-law?"

Weren’t you supposed to come together?

Mu Jin Huan looked nonchalantly at the smiling Wanxia in front of him. Compared to the last time they met, she had lost some weight.

She didn’t seem to be in good spirits either.

On the collarbone exposed at her neckline, there faintly lay shallow traces.

He was a man, of course, he knew what they were.

His deep black eyes carried a hint of gloom; he looked down and softly coaxed Pea, who was being stubborn.

When he looked at Wanxia again, the depths of his eyes had returned to their usual calm, his voice gentle, "I’m not busy lately, the back and forth only takes a day. Your sister-in-law isn’t feeling well and is resting at home."

Not feeling well...

Wanxia asked worriedly, "Is it serious?"

"Not serious, just a slight cold, she felt much better after taking some medication."

Hearing this, Wanxia nodded and felt relieved.

There were many people coming and going in the airport hall. The two of them walked side by side towards the exit. Mu Jin Huan had come alone and would return to Qing City in the evening without carrying any luggage.

Even though he was holding the adorable little one in his arms, he still thoughtfully shielded Wanxia from the hurried passersby, which was a habit he had developed many years ago, and his actions were very natural.

Wanxia became more relaxed and lively in his presence, talking more than usual, "Brother, have you had lunch yet? I’ve reserved a spot at that Chinese restaurant you used to like very much. I happened to pass by a few days ago and didn’t expect it to still be open. The owner’s daughter is already married."

She remembered that the restaurant had been there since her high school days.

Mu Jin Huan was a bit surprised, "It’s still open?"

"Yes, I wanted to go in and see if it still tasted the same," Wanxia sighed playfully, "but then I thought it’s no fun going alone, so I didn’t go."

Often, what people reminisce about isn’t a particular dish or a restaurant, but those times that can never return.

Mu Jin Huan chuckled, eyeing her sideways, "You’re probably waiting for me to foot the bill."

Wanxia blinked, "Oh, don’t give it away!"

Pea felt neglected, wiped her tears, and sniffled as she asked, "Daddy, Auntie, what are you talking about?"

This baby was too busy crying to listen clearly.

Mu Jin Huan looked down at his daughter’s pitiful little face and asked with interest, "Are you done crying?"

Pea froze for a moment, then shook her head, "...No."

Mu Jin Huan accepted the tissue Wanxia handed over, gently wiping the tears from the little one’s face, "Then cry a bit more."

Pea, "..."

————

The restaurant was located in the city center, and by four o’clock, not being meal time, there were hardly any customers.

The spot by the window let in sunlight, the lighting very bright and warm.

The dishes Wanxia ordered were the same few they used to order when she and Mu Jin Huan went there together.

Perhaps it was a change of chef or a change in mindset, but she felt they lacked the taste they once had.

Having finished expressing her longing, Pea sat obediently on the chair. She still couldn’t use chopsticks, and looked very cute as she seriously ate with a spoon.

Mu Jin Huan took a sip of tea, looked up at Wanxia sitting opposite him, and gently called her, "Wanwan." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Pea, as if wanting to show her father how much she’d grown, resolutely refused help, battling the bowl of noodles with her spoon.

The curve at Wanxia’s lips never disappeared, watching with interest, she absentmindedly responded, "Hmm?"

Mu Jin Huan’s eyes were complicated, like a distant mountain shrouded in mist, just sitting there, he formed his own world.

The steam rose from the teacup, adding a touch of inscrutability to his sharply defined handsome face, "Do you really not want me to intervene?"

Hearing his words, the curve at Wanxia’s lips froze for a fleeting few seconds.

"Yes," she blinked and smiled, "Didn’t I ask Sister-in-law to invite Doctor Sheng for help?"

It was only the expert opinion of Sheng Boyan, Qing City’s most authoritative psychiatrist, that she would believe in determining whether the person at the mental hospital was truly insane or pretending.

Mu Jin Huan had watched Wanxia grow up and certainly understood she was skirting the issue, "You know what I mean."
