Chapter 2062: Chapter 588: I’m Back (2)
"Are you going to the studio or downtown today?"
Mu Yichen asked her, planning to divert her attention.
"Hmm! I’ll stay at home! Sister Li and Brother Hang have become a couple, and Qin Mingzhu is quite attentive to the shop. It looks like it’s going to rain heavily today, so I’ll just stay at home with Grandpa and play some chess."
When Qin Mu got up, she saw that the outside looked oppressive, dark and gloomy, like a heavy rain was imminent.
"Hmm! Then I’ll stay at home too!"
Mu Yichen nodded and then said again.
"No!"
Qin Mu immediately frowned and protested.
"No? Why not?"
Mu Yichen was puzzled; his wife was rejecting him like this, which was truly heartbreaking.
"You should go to work! It’s not the weekend today!"
"What if I don’t want to go to work?"
Mu Yichen asked her.
Qin Mu was at a loss for words, only feeling a headache.
"Anyway, you shouldn’t stay at home. You can just give me some personal time. We’re together every day. Aren’t you tired?"
"Not at all!"
"You... even if you’re not tired, we can’t be glued together every day. Today I get the final say; you go to work, and I’ll stay at home!"
Qin Mu thought, if you’re not tired, I am. If you come home twice a day, I wouldn’t be resting for just one day; I’d need several days of rest.
The reason she’s not going out today isn’t just because of the rain, but also because he was too rough last night, and now she still feels her bones aching.
If only he could show some restraint in the morning, but asking him to restrain himself in the morning is practically a pipe dream. So Qin Mu, right now, was completely at the mercy of the situation.
"So persistent?"
Mu Yichen smiled, but his eyebrows were furrowed as well.
Didn’t expect Mrs. Mu to be this sick of him.
Still, letting her rest at home isn’t a bad idea. In hindsight, things did get a bit intense last night; she probably does need a good rest.
"Hmm!"
Qin Mu didn’t know what he was thinking, but seeing him relent, she smiled and nodded.
Mu Yichen also smiled, "Actually, I performed quite well this morning, didn’t I?"
"Of course!"
Qin Mu’s ears started to get hot, but she quickly nodded.
Later, Qin Mu even thought, could he have been making it up to her? Because of last night’s roughness, he was being gentle this morning to comfort her so much.
"Alright then! I’ll go to work later, and you can stay home with Grandpa."
Mu Yichen agreed with her.
——
An hour later.
Mu Yichen and Qin Mu stood at the doorway, looking at the pouring rain outside. Mu Yichen looked at her helplessly, "You can see, it’s not that I don’t want to go!"
Qin Mu smiled bitterly, thinking the heavens were against her!
The sudden torrential rain outside was definitely preventing people from going out and keeping those outside from coming back.
The loud noise of the rain hitting the ground further warned everyone of the intensity of the storm.
Qin Mu turned around and walked back inside, unable to help but sigh. She decided she wouldn’t go back to the bedroom all day.
Mu Yichen followed her inside and found her sitting on the sofa, already talking to Grandpa before he reached her.
"Grandpa, how about I play chess with you all day today?"
"That sounds great, as long as you’re not bored soon!"
Grandpa was happy, rainy days, tea, and chess, truly one of life’s pleasures.
"Absolutely not!"
Qin Mu said as she took the initiative to set up the chessboard.
Grandpa couldn’t help but look at her curiously, then at his returning grandson, and asked, "With this heavy rain, you can’t get to work, right? Won’t it delay your job?"
"What work is there to delay in this weather? I’ll join you for a couple of games too!"
Mu Yichen sat next to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu instinctively turned to look at him, surprised he also wanted to play a couple of games.
"How about you two play a game, and I’ll watch?"
Grandpa suddenly wanted to be a spectator; he felt something was off with the young couple this morning and wanted to study them carefully.
"Sure! Just worried that Mrs. Mu might not dare!"
Mu Yichen said softly, then glanced at Qin Mu.
"Hmph! What am I afraid of!"
Though she spoke arrogantly, her heart was uncertain.
Mu Yichen chuckled, "Alright! Let’s start then!"
Qin Mu...
Why did she feel like she was being set up?
The legendary goading trick?
When did she become so easily provoked?
The chess set was arranged, and Grandpa sat in the middle, intently watching the board.
This native chess game seemed to be especially thrilling, even making the onlookers feel tense.
But half an hour later, Qin Mu looked at him exasperatedly, "That last game doesn’t count, let’s play another!"
