Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:
EndlessFantasy TranslationMu Qing hesitated for a moment before he asked, “Has my mother been treating you well recently?”
Liang Zhou’s expression brightened immediately as she said, “The method you taught me is really effective!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMu Qing was puzzled. What did he teach her recently? He had spent his time teaching Ye Xin and giving Ye Xin’s instructions, but he did not teach Liang Zhou anything recently. After all, Liang Zhou was not very useful these days.
Liang Zhou did not pay attention to Mu Qing’s expression as she continued to say, “Didn’t you ask me to learn the art of brewing tea to curry favor with the Old Madam? In the beginning, I wasn’t sure if it’d help. I thought you were just trying to comfort me. However, I didn’t expect the Old Madam’s coldness would thaw when she saw me brewing tea. Mu Qing, let me tell you, I feel really happy!”
Mu Qing smiled wryly upon hearing these words. He had casually said this to Liang Zhou previously, and he had also said this to Ye Xin. In fact, he had placed more importance on Ye Xin. Who knew Liang Zhou would be the one to yield results using this method?
Liang Zhou continued to say excitedly, “You told me to show more care toward the baby. However, I didn’t do much. I’d only buy toys or clothes for him whenever I visit. After all, these things won’t cause any problems. Moreover, I’d always buy the ones with the best quality for him! Now the baby recognizes me, and he plays with the toys I bought him a lot!” Her expression was one of joy as she continued to say, “I discovered that as long as I can please the baby, the Old Madam will be very happy as well. Mu Qing, you’re really amazing. You’ve always been able to predict things accurately and come up with effective ways to do things. The foolish ideas in my mind can’t compare to your ideas at all!”
Although there were no changes in Mu Qing’s appearance, he was extremely pleased inwardly. He did not expect that Liang Zhou would understand things faster than Ye Xin.
“Today, Sister Yu even let me carry the baby. The baby is really cute. He can recognize people, places, and things now. That’s why he always smiles at me. The baby is really precious. Usually, not anyone can hold or touch him. However, Sister Yu actually allowed me to carry him today!” Liang Zhou said happily.
Mu Qing felt slightly disappointed when he saw how happy Liang Zhou was. During the days he did not come home and was clearly cold toward her, she still lived a happy and peaceful life.
Liang Zhou poured the tea into a teacup before she presented it to Mu Qing with both hands and a sweet smile on her face. She said, “Master is right. When you let go of your obsessions, everything that you want will come to you. The worst thing is to be stubborn. The more you’re afraid of losing something, the more you’ll be unable to obtain it. You must be magnanimous to live a happy life!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMu Qing brought the teacup to his lips. Liang Zhou’s happiness made him more and more uncomfortable. After a moment, he deliberately asked, “How’s Sing Ning? You see her often when you visit, right?”
Liang Zhou looked at the man without a change in her expression, but her heart turned cold. It was a pity it took her so long to see that the man in front of her had always treated her like a tool. She briefly wondered if his feelings for Ye Xin were sincere but quickly dismissed it. He was only sincere to himself.
Then, Liang Zhou furrowed her brows slightly as she said, “I don’t know about the Young Madam, but I feel like… she’s quite strange…”
“Strange?” Mu Qing could not help but feel worried upon hearing these words.
Liang Zhou nodded. “Logically speaking, when a woman becomes a mother, her heart and mind would be filled with her child. However, the Young Madam isn’t like that. Not only does she go out all day long, but when she returns, she doesn’t even look at the baby. Even if she does, she doesn’t hold him or play with him. In fact, she seems rather… afraid of the baby. I don’t know… After all, I’ve never given birth before so I don’t know much about postpartum changes. I can’t say for sure if this is normal or not…”
Liang Zhou sighed after she finished speaking.
Mu Qing grew wary upon hearing these words; he was inwardly alarmed. “What about my mother? Is my mother unhappy with her? My mother has said that she’ll look after the baby so perhaps, Song Ning is afraid of making my mother unhappy so she doesn’t dare to get close to the baby?”
