Chapter 81 How About I Give You A Child?

Mu Zhi couldn’t help but frown. She turned to look at Jian Xiaoning with doubt while Jian Xiaoning

crossed her arms as she watched their retreating backs with interest.

“What do you mean by unspeakable feelings?”

That could mean a myriad of things. Mu Zhi was more confused than ever.

Jian Xiaoning chuckled, “Don’t you know what unspeakable feelings mean? It’s the kind you don’t talk

about. The kind that you keep under wraps so that no one finds out.”

“Look, the safest distance a man and a woman should have between them is at least thirty centimeters.

Additionally, with Xiao Qingqing as Lu Jinye’s lover and Shen Mobo as his bro, the both of them should

avoid any suspicion.”

“But look at the distance between them…”

Maybe it was because Shen Mobo was earnestly trying to protect her but the two of them were walking

kind of close.

Mu Zhi glanced at Jian Xiaoning and shook her head helplessly. “That’s enough. Stop gossiping about

other people’s relationships. How is that possible…”

She wasn’t close with Shen Mobo, but she knew that once a woman had a man like Lu Jinye, she

would not look at another man.

Jian Xiaoning rolled her eyes at Mu Zhi. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. I’ve been researching the

psychology between men and women recently. And I think I’m quite good at telling these things. I

guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”

Mu Zhi stopped arguing with Jian Xiaoning and headed inside. She added, “Stop studying this. Think

about how scary it would be if it were you and your boyfriend’s relationships under scrutiny.”

Jian Xiaoning disregarded Mu Zhi’s advice and snorted. From that distance, she saw Mu Xiaomu on a

swing in a rock garden. Next to her was a handsome little boy.

What great timing. Jian Xiaoning left Mu Zhi’s side, and hurried to Mu Xiaomu and Liang Jieyi. She

pushed them on the swing saying, “Young man, are you going after my Xiaomu behind my back

again?”

She was obviously talking to Liang Jieyi.

However, before Liang Jieyi could answer her, a voice came not too far away.

“What do you mean going after your Xiaomu? Your Xiaomu is the one who is interested in our Jieyi.”

The person who spoke was Xu Se. He walked over with two cups of yogurt. One for each of the

children.

He had heard Jian Xiaoning from afar and decided to add in his own two cents.

Most of the time, Xu Se came off as standoffish albeit good looking. But today, he had shaved his head

and left a braid in the middle. He wore a blue shirt and white pants. He looked both youthful and

approachable.

But both Jian Xiaoning and Xu Se were wearing similar clothing, as if they had both discussed and

decided to dress that way.

Actually, the correct term should be couple clothes.

Jian Xiaoning wore a white blouse with bow shaped buttons, a pair of blue velvet pants and cork

wedges.

Jian Xiaoning barely spared him a glance. “Our Xiaomu is so adorable that kids are lining up all the

way to the moat to have a chance at playing with her.”

“Our Jieyi is so handsome that the number of girls lining up is as long as the great wall.”

Xu Se shot back.

“Is this a competition now?”

Jian Xiaoning lifted her chin at him. But because Xu Se was far too tall, she had to really stretch her

neck to get a good look at him. Giving her a sore neck.

Jian Xiaoning was 1.58 meters tall, while Xu Se was 1.85 meters.

It was the perfect height difference that most couples could wish for.

Mu Zhi was always under the impression that Jian Xiaoning wasn’t one that enjoyed competition. So,

what was going on?

The two children next to them felt the same as Mu Zhi.

Liang Jieyi jumped off the swing and stretched a hand out towards Mu Xiaomu, saying, “Let’s go. There

are both quarrelling. How noisy! Let’s go and play somewhere else.”

He pulled Mu Xiaomu along.

They passed Xu Se and Liang Jieyi took the cups of yogurt from him and handed them to Mu Xiaomu.

Then the both happily went their way with yogurt in hand.

“…”

Mu Zhi watched everything unfold and felt like an extra on a movie set.

Xu Se and Jian Xiaoning were bickering.

Her daughter was busy getting along with Liang Jieyi.

No matter who she looked at, they were all in pairs.

Didn’t that make her… An afterthought?

Mu Zhi hesitated before deciding to find someplace to stay awhile.

But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into someone. She jumped, startled. She looked up

and to her surprise, it was Lu Jinye. How long had he been there?

“When did you get here?”

Mu Zhi asked, glancing at him.

Lu Jinye eyes were on Mu Xiaomu and Liang Jieyi in the distance. His response seemed to be

distracted.

“I noticed that you had not come inside so I decided to come out and have a look.”

“Mu Xiaomu is adorable.”

Lu Jinye added after replying her.

His response delighted Mu Zhi.

As Mu Xiaomu’s mother, she was happy to hear that. However, she couldn’t be too expressive with

how she felt.

She simply said, “Yes, she is adorable. Unfortunately, her intellect seems to be just average.”

Especially, when compared to Liang Jieyi.

Liang Jieyi was obviously the smarter child.

“Maybe it’s because her parents’ intellect was average and she inherited that aspect of theirs.”

Lu Jinye obviously believed that Jian Xiaoning was Mu Xiaomu’s mother. And not too far away, a tiny

Jian Xiaoning was still arguing with Xu Se.

It really did look as if she wasn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Mu Zhi swallowed. Didn’t that also mean that she wasn’t too bright?

“Girls take after their father. So, if Xiaomu isn’t too bright, it may be because of him.”

In any case, Xiaomu definitely did not get it from her.

Lu Jinye contemplated before nodding and agreeing with her.

“Okay.”

“You can consider marrying Mu Xiaomu to Liang Jieyi. Think about it.”

Mu Zhi never thought that such words would leave Lu Jinye’s mouth.

She was shocked.

Mu Zhi looked at Lu Jinye suspiciously. But hesitated before saying, “Are you the type to control your

children’s lives?”

Lu Jinye did not look like he would be such an old-fashioned parent.

Lu Jinye kept his eyes on Mu Xiaomu playing in the distance. He did not answer Mu Zhi. Suddenly, a

woman’s voice sounded behind them.

She called out “Jinye” warmly as she made her way over and sank herself into his embrace.

Xiao Qingqing had seen the way Lu Jinye was staring at Mu Xiaomu.

She slowly raised her head and looked at him tenderly. Her gaze full of love, and asked, “Jinye, do you

like children? I’ll give you one.”

Xiao Qingqing already knew what his response would be before asking.

She had asked Lu Jinye the same question prior.

And Lu Jinye had also refused her.
