Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession-Chapter 778: On the Marriage Arrangements 5
He coughed twice to conceal his emotions and then pulled back, distancing himself from his youngest daughter.
"Daddy understands!"
With a face full of affection, he gently ran his hand through his youngest daughter’s hair, which was as smooth as seaweed. Mu Yi suppressed the urge to pull his youngest daughter into his arms and cherish her further, then smiled gently again.
Then, he looked towards Mu Qinghan.
"Dad, you go ahead."
It seemed that Mu Tiantian growing up in the Gu Family was just a minor episode, and it passed like that.
However, this matter left a mark in the hearts of everyone in the Mu Family.
Some felt tender and compassionate, wishing to be completely devoted to Mu Tiantian, while others gritted their teeth, wishing they could tear Mu Tiantian apart.
However, in front of Mu Qinghan, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, changed the subject, and continued discussing the marriage arrangements concerning the three siblings.
It was called a discussion, but it seemed the candidates were already decided.
The marriage between Mu Haiyang and Dai Ke’er had been canceled, yet the Dai Family refused to let it go, and this issue was something Mu Qinghan wanted Mu Haiyang to handle by himself first.
If Mu Haiyang couldn’t handle it alone, he would step in later.
After Mu Haiyang, it was Mu Haiyun’s turn.
Old Madam Mu was the first to mention Mu Haiyun’s marriage, with an indescribable smile in her eyes. When she looked at Mu Haiyun, her gaze was particularly loving and confident.
"Haiyun and Chen Yao’s wedding, old man, when do you think is a good time to set it?"
As soon as Old Madam Mu spoke, the living room fell into a deep silence.
Mu Qinghan’s eyes showed an unusual expression as he stared at his old wife with slight astonishment.
"Haiyun and Chen Yao’s wedding?"
Just after Mu Qinghan finished speaking, Mu Yi’s face darkened, and his sharp eyes shot towards Old Madam Mu in a very cold voice.
"Mom, Chen Yao and Tian Tian have been together since two years ago, and the one engaged to Chen Yao is Tian Tian. Why are you involving Haiyun?"
When the topic of her marriage came up, Mu Haiyun’s eyelids had already lowered, and her long eyelashes concealed the expression in her eyes; no one knew what emotions lay beneath.
As for her face, it remained gracefully composed. However, when Old Madam Mu mentioned her marriage to Chen Yao, a trace of astonishment and just the right amount of bashfulness appeared on her face.
Mu Tiantian couldn’t help but twitch the muscles at the corners of her mouth, thinking to herself how well she acted.
Clearly, Bai Chenyao had returned with her, and their relationship had been no secret for two years. She couldn’t believe Mu Haiyun didn’t know.
But now, pretending to be bashful, Mu Tiantian felt as if she had swallowed a fly, utterly out of sorts.
Suddenly, she recalled when she had first returned to the Mu Family, and awoke to Mu Haiyun asking her at her bedside.
Did she know there was an engagement between the Mu Family and the Bai Family?
Could it be that Mu Haiyun had long known that the engagement with Bai Chenyao was hers, Mu Tiantian’s, but was unwilling to accept it and deliberately came upstairs to probe her?
At the time, she had wanted nothing more than to keep her distance from Bai Chenyao, and though he was in her heart, she believed that the one engaged to Bai Chenyao was Mu Haiyun!
The mixture of these two reasons led to her response at that time, which was...
Yes, she hadn’t given a straightforward answer, only saying that if the engagement to Bai Chenyao was with Mu Haiyun, she would congratulate them.
But now she’s learned that the engagement is actually with her and Bai Chenyao!
Congratulations, my foot!
Mu Haiyun’s deep scheming once again opened her eyes.
She actually started probing her as soon as she returned to the Mu Family.
Huh!
Could it be that in Mu Haiyun’s mind, she still believes that Mu Tiantian stole her man, Mu Haiyun’s?
