Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1486: 1485 You continue, continue

The sudden ringing of the phone broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the study.

Taking advantage of Qin Mu lowering his head to retrieve his phone, An Lin escaped from his embrace, moving five steps away from him, taking a deep breath.

“Hello, Mom.”

The call was from Qin Mu’s mother. Qin Mu watched An Lin escape, a sharp glint passing through his eyes.

An Lin heard him call his mom, her eyes flickered, she walked over to a single sofa and sat down, keeping her distance, she couldn’t hear what his mother was saying on the phone.

All she heard was Qin Mu saying, “Mom, don’t let your imagination run wild, An Lin and I are fine.”

As he said this, Qin Mu looked at her again, meeting her gaze, a warm smile curved on his lips.

As if the misunderstandings she had about him were all her illusions.

He was still the man who had just gotten the marriage certificate with her, saying he would try hard to fall in love with her and be gentle and considerate to her.

An Lin pursed her lips, her expression somewhat indifferent.

Qin Mu didn’t mind her indifference towards him at all, his smile faint, voice clear and bright, “Mom, An Lin is with me in the study now, if you don’t believe me, I’ll let her answer the phone.”

After he finished speaking, he took a few steps to An Lin, saying gently, “Mom called thinking I was bullying you, An Lin, please help me explain a few words.”

An Lin looked at him with cool eyes.

How could this man act so nonchalantly?

Hadn’t he bullied her?

“An Lin, don’t be mad, my mom didn’t know what we were doing, calling at such a bad time, next time, I’ll turn off my phone first.”

Qin Mu’s lips curled into a smile, his voice low and carrying a hint of boundless ambiguity, An Lin widened her eyes, looking at him incredulously.

Her cheeks became burning hot because of his words, this damn man, he actually said such things on the phone.

“Mom.”

An Lin took the phone, tightly pressed her lips, adjusted her emotions and spoke.

Seeing her go from anger to a bright smile in an instant, Qin Mu’s lips showed a satisfied smile.

“An Lin, did Ah Mu say I disturbed you two, is it true, did I interrupt you from making babies, oh, I didn’t mean to…”

An Lin’s face burned as if it was on fire.

Although she was a woman nearing thirty, she wasn’t thick-skinned enough to discuss such an ambiguous topic in front of her husband with her mother-in-law.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

Mother Qin took her silence as shyness, laughing happily on the other end, “An Lin, I originally thought Ah Mu was bullying you, that you were angry at him and that’s why you let your mom go to G City. Now it seems I misunderstood, I don’t have anything else, you two continue, continue.”

From beginning to end, An Lin didn’t say a word.

It’s not that she didn’t want to speak, but that Mother Qin didn’t give her the chance.

Looking at the hung-up phone, An Lin blinked blankly, thinking her mother-in-law’s imagination was truly rich.

“Here’s your phone back.”

An Lin pressed her lips, speaking with a very poor tone.

As she spoke, she tossed the phone to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu caught it effortlessly, his tall figure sitting down in front of her, the single sofa was meant for one, but when he sat, he was squeezed right against An Lin.

“An Lin.”

An Lin was just about to stand up but was caught by Qin Mu’s wrist.

She turned her head, displeasedly looking at him, “The space is too cramped for two people, I’ll go sit on the chair.”

“No need, I think it’s just right, if you feel cramped, I don’t mind if you sit on my lap.”

Qin Mu looked serious, with no sign of joking or teasing her.

He even patted his leg, as if saying to An Lin: If you don’t believe me, sit here, I can definitely handle it.

“Ah Mu, you weren’t like this before.”

An Lin had a cold face, her tone very unpleasant. In her eyes, he was a man who was usually cool and reserved.

Though he could be warm, he never gave her a very bad feeling.

But now, he made her feel unfamiliar.

Qin Mu’s eyes darkened, he sighed lightly, “An Lin, let’s sit down and talk calmly, okay?”

“Talk about what.”

An Lin couldn’t move as he held her, she could feel his warmth seeping through the fabric, into her skin, and reaching her heart.

“Talk about the recording.”

Qin Mu composed himself, speaking in a warm and serious tone.

“What is there to talk about, didn’t you already hear it?”

An Lin spoke stiffly, Qin Mu’s handsome face showed a hint of apology, “An Lin, that was my fault, I shouldn’t have said that without finding out the truth.”

“You’ve already said it.”

Even now, when she thought of his words that night, An Lin felt inexplicably aggrieved.

She remembered that night, she had received a parcel from Gao Yuwen, it was a recording pen.

At the time, she didn’t know what was recorded inside, Gao Yuwen only said it was something good to thank her.

She also didn’t know when Qin Mu had returned home from socializing outside and happened to be in the study.

She thought she was listening to the recording alone, but it turned out Qin Mu in the study also heard “her” words: Gao Yuwen, you are the most foolish woman I have ever seen, actually drugging Ah Mu’s tea because of a few words from me. Did you never dream that I knew you would act tonight…

In fact, anyone would be outraged hearing those words.

Qin Mu couldn’t believe at all that this was all a play directed and acted by An Lin herself.

If it was despicable for Gao Yuwen to drug his drink, intending to sleep with him to threaten him into marrying her.

Then An Lin’s scheming, how deep it must be.

“An Lin!”

At that time, he stood at the study door, that “An Lin” seemed to come from an ice cellar, carrying a bone-chilling coldness; like an arrow piercing through the air, directly piercing An Lin’s heart.

She turned shocked, upon meeting Qin Mu’s icy cold and severe eyes, under the light, the color drained from her face instantly.

His eyes were woven with sharpness, questioning, disappointment, anger…

So many emotions intertwined, An Lin couldn’t understand, the only feeling was that her heart hurt very much.

“Ah Mu.”

At that time her voice carried a slight tremor, she wanted to explain. But the recorder in her hand fell onto the coffee table and continued, it was her conversation with Gao Yuwen.

Qin Mu walked over with a chill, as the conversation continued, the harshness in his eyes turned into a sharp blade, and the words he spoke shattered An Lin’s heart into pieces, “An Lin, so this was all a play you orchestrated yourself. It turns out, when you initially said you didn’t want me to take responsibility, it was your strategy to advance through retreat, knowing I’d definitely take responsibility for you…”

An Lin’s body trembled heavily.

Her hand instinctively grabbed the edge of the sofa to avoid collapsing into it.

“Ah Mu, it’s not what you heard.”

Her heart hurt, hurt so much, she bent down, picked up the recorder, angrily turned it off, “I didn’t…”

“Didn’t what, are you saying you didn’t orchestrate all this, didn’t dig a pit for Gao Yuwen to fall into?”
