Chapter 1521: 1520 He is lying.
Mother Qin frowned, stood up, and signaled An Lin to continue outside.
After leaving the ward, Mother Qin gently closed the door and said with concern, “An Lin, you shouldn’t be too tired given your current situation.”
With that, she waved to Qin Mu a few meters away to come over.
Seeing his mom’s expression, Qin Mu knew for sure that she didn’t agree with An Lin going to City C either.
He stepped over and spoke before Mother Qin could, “Mom, I’ll go with An Lin. It’s hard work for you to take care of Dad here.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Qin finally smiled and chided, “That’s my son indeed. I haven’t even said to go with An Lin, and you already volunteered.”
“An Lin, if you go alone, I won’t feel at ease. Let Ah Mu go with you, and I’ll stay in G City with your mom.”
An Lin turned her gaze to Qin Mu, who returned a gentle smile.
She withdrew her gaze, silently cursing him, “A sly man.”
Knowing she wouldn’t want him to go with her, he intentionally voiced it in front of his mom.
The most important thing was that yesterday morning, he told Mother Qin that she was pregnant!!!
An Lin couldn’t believe such a lie would be concocted by Qin Mu.
“Ah Mu, don’t exhaust An Lin when you get to City C, alright?”
Mother Qin sternly instructed her son, “If you don’t take good care of An Lin, don’t even mention her parents, I’ll be the first to take action against you.”
Qin Mu nodded, “Mom, rest assured, I promise to take good care of An Lin.”
“An Lin, let’s go.”
Seeing him reach out to take An Lin’s hand, Mother Qin smiled in satisfaction.
In Mother Qin’s presence, An Lin couldn’t refuse Qin Mu’s company to City C, nor could she avoid his outstretched hand.
His large palm enveloped her hand, and the warmth from his palm penetrated her skin but couldn’t warm her heart.
Once inside the elevator, An Lin pulled her hand away.
As they exited the elevator, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen seemed to be waiting for them in the lobby on the first floor.
An Lin hurried over.
“An Lin, I heard you’re going to City C?”
Wen Ran asked with concern.
An Lin nodded, and Mo Xiuchen said to Qin Mu, “Ah Mu, go with An Lin to City C. Uncle Qin is at Kangning Hospital, which is the safest of any hospital.”
“I was just going to tell you, I’m going with An Lin.”
Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Wen Ran turned to An Lin again, “If Qin Mu goes, no need for Auntie to go, let her help me with those little ones. I’m even considering bringing Auntie to my house.”
“Are you trying to snatch my mom away?”
An Lin feigned displeasure with a frown.
Wen Ran chuckled, “Auntie said she wanted to make me her goddaughter. If you and Qin Mu don’t quickly let her have a grandson, your position might really be at risk.”
Wen Ran’s biological mom passed away early, and her adoptive mother also died in a car accident, just like Mo Xiuchen.
Without a mother-in-law, she especially envied her friends’ moms. She got along well with Mom An, and it wasn’t just a scare for An Lin.
Mom An actually said she wanted to make her the goddaughter.
“No, I want my mom to accompany me to City C.”
An Lin snorted unhappily, while beside her, Qin Mu casually continued, “An Lin, instead of taking your mom to City C, why not let her have a grandchild sooner?”
After a slight pause, he suddenly leaned in, his thin lips close to her ear, whispering, “They think you’re pregnant now, we can’t let them down.”
An Lin blushed, her watery eyes showing slight anger as she glared at Qin Mu.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran exchanged a glance and said with a smile, “Then you two can stay a bit longer in City C, no need to rush back.”
**
All four returned to Mo Xiuchen’s house.
Mom An was happily playing with a few little ones.
Upon hearing Qin Mu say he and An Lin were going to City C, she didn’t think twice and agreed, “Go, go.”
Wen Ran pulled An Lin aside, her gaze sweeping over her abdomen and whispered, “An Lin, is it true?”
At the hospital, Wen Ran was surprised when she heard Mother Qin say An Lin was expecting.
An Lin replied moodily, “No, it’s Qin Mu’s lie.”
“Qin Mu’s lie?”
Wen Ran looked puzzled.
An Lin frowned, “Keep your voice down.” She glanced at Qin Mu sitting on the sofa and said stiffly, “I don’t know why he wants to deceive everyone.”
Wen Ran burst into laughter.
“It’s obvious, An Lin, I guess Qin Mu is definitely trying to keep you.”
“Keep me for what?”
An Lin’s corner of the mouth formed a slight bitterness, once chilled, it’s hard to warm back up.
Wen Ran had just heard about An Lin being kidnapped that night in Gu Kai’s office.
Seeing the bitterness at An Lin’s corner of the mouth, her heart tightened, but she ultimately chose not to say anything.
It’s not that she didn’t want to help them.
It’s just that no one could help clear the misunderstanding between An Lin and Qin Mu.
Though An Lin was cold toward Qin Mu, her love for him still remained. Their outcome would depend on when Qin Mu would develop feelings for An Lin.
***
Last year, when An Lin decided to return home to get married, she sold her house in City C.
This time, she initially planned to stay in a hotel.
The reason she didn’t consider staying in an apartment was that Qin Mu had lived in an apartment before; if she stayed in an apartment, he would definitely want her to stay with him.
The company car was there to pick them up.
After getting in the car, Qin Mu gave the driver an address, and An Lin immediately looked over surprised, “Why are we going there?”
Qin Mu just smiled without answering.
Half an hour later, Qin Mu and An Lin got out of the car, and he pulled the suitcase ahead.
An Lin had a certain suspicion in her heart, but was unsure. Seeing that he didn’t want to explain, she silently followed behind him.
Sure enough, after taking the elevator up, Qin Mu took out a key, unlocked the door, and it was An Lin’s old home.
“This house?”
Once inside the living room, An Lin looked at the decor and furnishings, just as when she lived there before.
Though it hadn’t been lived in for a long time, it was very clean, suggesting someone had been regularly cleaning it.
Qin Mu placed the luggage in the bedroom, came out, and said, “I bought this house last year, so even though you quit, it’s easier when you come back to City C at any time.”
An Lin’s astonished expression faded away, replaced by a smile on her face, “Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“You didn’t come to City C, and I simply forgot.”
Qin Mu said lightly, then glanced back at the master bedroom, “If you’re tired, rest for a bit, I’ll go out to buy food.”
“I’m not hungry, won’t eat tonight, you go eat by yourself.”
An Lin was genuinely not hungry, besides, she would have mild stomach pains before her relatives visited.
Qin Mu’s gaze lingered on her face for two seconds and pondered for a moment, then gently asked, “Is your stomach hurting?”
Even if not in love, they were married for a few months as a couple.
Moreover, Qin Mu initially did have feelings for An Lin, so he wouldn’t forget about her menstrual cycle.
An Lin nodded, saying softly, “I’ll go nap,” and entered the bedroom.
