Tonight Huanhuan fell asleep early, but Chengcheng stayed up enjoying some father-son time with Mu Yichen.
Mu Yichen only came back downstairs after putting Chengcheng in bed. Seeing her curled up on the sofa reading one of the comic books they'd read together before, he asked in a low voice, "Why did you come back so late?"
"Oh! We chatted a bit longer!"
Qin Mu lowered her head; her voice was light, ordinary.
"Really? You ate with Lun Yun?"
Mu Yichen asked as he sat down on the single sofa beside her.
"Mm."
Qin Mu answered without lifting her eyes, but she was already feeling a twinge of pressure inside. Something was off, like he'd found out something.
Mu Yichen watched her for a long time. Only when she felt something was wrong and lifted her eyes to look at him did he chuckle softly.
"What's wrong? Do you need something?"
Qin Mu asked him, thinking that even if he'd figured out she hadn't been eating with Lun Yun, it wasn't that big a deal.
"Nothing."
