A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 1502 Persistence, Different Loves

Mu Ning glared at Zhuang Shiyuan, then suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "I really want to hit you!"

Zhuang Shiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Come on, wife, which cheek do you feel more comfortable slapping?"

As Zhuang Shiyuan spoke, he moved his face closer to Mu Ning, grabbed her hand and pressed it against his face, "Hit me, so I'll remember this lesson."

"Why does Zhuang Shiyuan need to hit you to learn a lesson?" Mu Ning snorted.

Zhuang Shiyuan looked at her without saying a word, while Mu Ning looked away and said, "I will definitely lose weight after I give birth to the baby."

"..." Zhuang Shiyuan's forehead instantly creased with annoyance. Could the pace of this be slowed down?

"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhuang Shiyuan put his arm around Mu Ning, rested his head gently on her shoulder, and swayed her gently in his arms.

Mu Ning hugged Zhuang Shiyuan, bit her lip, and then said softly, "You are mine, Zhuang Shiyuan. You are mine. No matter if your ex comes back to cause trouble, or you have a six-year-old or sixteen-year-old son, no matter the reason, you can only be mine. I will not give you to anyone else. I am not that kind. I will not give you up."

"Yes, I understand, that's why I've always trusted you," Zhuang Shiyuan said softly.

Mu Ning rested her head on Zhuang Shiyuan's shoulder and sighed softly.

So what if she has a son? She has children too. Miss Bai Xin'ai was just a little luckier, appearing in Zhuang Shiyuan's life earlier. But she's taken care of Zhuang Shiyuan for four years, from high school until now, and they've been together for many years. She's in no way inferior to Miss Bai Xin'ai, so what's there to be afraid of?

"But what about your son?" Mu Ning asked softly.

After uttering those grand words, he quickly withdrew his head. He couldn't possibly ignore reality, could he? After all, the other person did have a child, a child without a father—how pitiful!

"Whether he's my son or not is still uncertain. Besides, even if he is, if Xin'ai agrees, we'll take the child back to the Zhuang family; if Xin'ai doesn't agree..."

"Of course not, even a fool could tell," Mu Ning muttered.

Zhuang Shiyuan smiled and said, "If you don't want to, just appeal and let the court decide. It's no big deal."

"You really are heartless," Mu Ning scoffed.

She knew this was cruel to a young child, and also cruel to a woman who saw love as her life.

However, she cannot give up her own happiness just because she pities others. She is a selfish person by nature, and she cannot bring herself to step aside for the sake of others.

Miss Bai Xin'ai is much prettier than her, has a better figure, and comes from a family that inspires envy. With all these advantages, she could live a better life even without Zhuang Shiyuan, and could still choose a partner with her aloof and elegant demeanor. But she is different; she has nothing, all she has is Zhuang Shiyuan.

“Since I have already developed feelings for one woman, I must be ruthless towards others,” Zhuang Shiyuan said earnestly.

After a long pause, Mu Ning finally said, "Rational men are truly terrifying."

"If I were too sentimental, what you would see today wouldn't be me pushing away a new love, but rather me in bed..."

"Alright, alright, you're right, I won't say anything more, okay?" Mu Ning quickly interrupted him loudly.

Zhuang Shiyuan chuckled softly, and Mu Ning sighed after a while, "Maybe I really do like you, since you're getting more and more handsome."

"Yes, it's good that you like me." Zhuang Shiyuan kissed the top of her head. "I'll call Dr. Lin, then go back and pack my bags, and we'll go home."

"Why did you call? Are you asking if Miss Bai has left?" Mu Ning asked him. Zhuang Shiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "I don't need to hide, right?"

"Yes." Mu Ning nodded, taking his arm. "I am the Empress!"

The implication is that she is the legal wife, so what is she afraid of?

Zhuang Shiyuan frowned slightly, and it took him a while to understand what she meant. After realizing what she meant, he chuckled and said, "Yes, you are the Empress. Let's go back together."

Everything is fine once it's out in the open. Sometimes two people need their own space, but some things can't be hidden. Well-intentioned lies often lead to big mistakes when they're discovered.

Zhuang Shiyuan said, "I was afraid that before I could explain to you, you would have already believed other false rumors, so I presumptuously took Xin'ai to Dr. Lin's. I thought I was being cautious, but I didn't expect you to see me. But it's fine, this way I don't have to make it difficult for myself to find another suitable time to explain to you."

Mu Ning understood the helplessness in his words, and although she wanted to say something, she remained silent.

Actually, I still mind it. He clearly said she was his first love, and then this eldest son suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It feels like I swallowed a fly.

No matter how good one's mindset is, the undeniable fact is that once a child is born, he will be entangled with another woman for the rest of his life.

She was unwilling and very sad, but the more unwilling and sad she was, the less she could impulsively say goodbye.

When they returned, Bai Xin'ai had already left. Zhuang Shiyuan asked Mu Ning to sit outside for a while while he went to pack his luggage.

Dr. Lin entered Zhuang Shiyuan's room and closed the door behind him. Zhuang Shiyuan was packing his luggage while Dr. Lin paced back and forth.

"Could you sit quietly for a while?" Zhuang Shiyuan looked up, his voice tinged with helplessness.

Dr. Lin stopped. "I'm just curious, young master. You're truly amazing. Even in that situation, you managed to calm her down?"

That's amazing! How did you do that?

Zhuang Shiyuan looked up at the closed door, his eyes immediately flashing with a sharp glare. "Why did you close the door?"

What will Mu Ning think of this?

"We can't let the young mistress know what we're plotting," Dr. Lin said, spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face.

Zhuang Shiyuan frowned. Normal people can't stand being around eccentric characters, just like how Third Master Zhuang disliked Youngest Master Zhuang. Zhuang Shiyuan walked over and opened the door; Dr. Lin was leaning against one side.

"Won't you join us for a meal?" Dr. Lin glanced at the people looking over and smiled at Mu Ning. Then she continued, "Let me treat you to a meal. It'll be hard to schedule another time."

“Sure,” Zhuang Shiyuan agreed without hesitation.

Getting this tightwad to treat you to a meal is truly a rare thing.

"I was just joking..."

"I took it seriously," Zhuang Shiyuan said calmly, slowly and steadily tidying up his luggage.

Dr. Lin looked up at the sky, confirming the diagnosis, and went out to claim credit, "Miss Mu, I'd like to treat you to a simple meal. What would you like to eat?"

"I also can."

"..." Dr. Lin's face stiffened. Just like that, he agreed? Why didn't he politely decline?

Zhuang Shijue drifted off to sleep, only to wake up in the middle of the night, starving. The lights were still on. He glanced at the time—three in the morning. How come he hadn't slept through the night?

I pressed my upset stomach, but it didn't work. I needed to find something to fill my stomach.

I've had meals on the go, but why am I so hungry today? I rolled over and stretched my limbs before going downstairs to find something to eat.

That heartless woman didn't even say a word of concern. Zhuang Shijue mentally slapped Bai Xin'ai, barely managing to calm himself down.

He went into the kitchen, glanced around, and saw there was nothing to eat. He searched and searched but couldn't find anything he could put in his mouth. So he immediately put his hands on his hips, stood in the kitchen with a huff and a glare. That damned woman probably guessed he would come out to find food, so she hid everything edible.

As he thought about it, Zhuang Shijue suddenly remembered the time he deliberately fed Mu Xiaoniu's dinner to the dog. Now, the scene was being repeated, only this time he was the one playing the role.

This feeling is absolutely heartbreaking!

"hungry?"

A cold female voice sounded behind Zhuang Shijue. Zhuang Shijue slowly turned around, looked at her with a cold face, and didn't say anything.

Bai Xin'ai chuckled, "Didn't you say you weren't going to eat?"

"Hurry up, make Second Master a bowl of noodles, I'm starving!" Zhuang Shijue went straight out of the kitchen, sat on a chair in the dining room, crossed his long legs, shook them, and frowned at her.

Bai Xin'ai ignored him, but still went to cook noodles for him.

Zhuang Shijue looked at the woman who hadn't said anything, chuckled, then got up and walked over to stand next to Bai Xin'ai.

"Still not asleep at this hour? Are you worried that I haven't eaten, so you can't sleep?" Zhuang Shijue chuckled.

Bai Xin'ai didn't even look at him directly. "You're only uncomfortable if you're not being sarcastic, aren't you?"

"My wife understands me best." Zhuang Shijue lunged forward and hugged her tightly. "See, we can still live a good life together, right?"

"Get out of the way." Bai Xin'ai pushed open the door.

Zhuang Shijue watched from the side with his arms crossed and a mischievous grin on his face. Suddenly, he started gesturing wildly and began to sing: "My lord, are you hungry? If you're hungry, tell my wife, and I'll make you some noodle soup... noodle soup, hehe, yo, check it out..."

Bai Xin'ai was speechless, giving him a sideways glance. What's wrong with him in the middle of the night?

"Are you trying to scare me or a ghost? Get away, get away..." Bai Xin'ai pushed the person far away, finding it annoying to look at.

Zhuang Shijue was in the middle of a great time when the wailing and howling continued. Now he understood why Miss Mu liked to howl and scare people; it turned out that howling made her feel better.

Bai Xin'ai brought out a steaming bowl of boiled noodles and placed it on the table. The Second Master pulled up a chair and sat down without any politeness. He picked up his chopsticks, glanced at the noodles, and looked at Bai Xin'ai with a face full of disdain.

"Second Master treated you and your daughter to a big meal, and all I get is a bowl of vegetarian noodles?"

Look at this soup, you can count the few specks of oil floating on top.

"You think it's too much? Fine, I'll boil some water for you next time," Bai Xin'ai said coldly.

"...Indeed, the most poisonous heart in the world is that of a woman!" Zhuang Shijue sneered.

"Do you want some? If not, I'll get you something else."

Zhuang Shijue immediately protected the bowl, "Eat it! Why not eat it? It's my wife Huo Ku's cooking, after all. Even if it's poison, I'd eat it, let alone noodles without any oil or meat." He then looked at Bai Xin'ai with a smug grin, "Thanks, wife, mwah!"

Bai Xin'ai got up and left, not even glancing at the man who was having a fit.
