C85 (1/2)

For a long-term vegetarian, if you suddenly place a large plate of meat next to his mouth, he will naturally eat it with open arms.

Xia Mu had never experienced such excitement before. His breathing stopped at this moment and his eyes were tightly shut. His small hands grabbed onto Mu Dongfang's arm as he subconsciously struggled with a flushed face.

”Mom …” A low call came from the other side of the bed.

Mu Dongfang's body stopped, and his face stiffened as he brought her over.

Xia Mu panted loudly, and only after a long while did he calm his breathing. With a flushed face, he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

”Mom …” The baby called again.

”The child is shouting.” Mu Dongfang whispered softly.

In a flash before his eyes, Xia Mu hurriedly rushed towards the bedside.

He walked over to the bed and saw that the children were all sleeping soundly. That call just now was just a dream.

Xia Mu touched his burning cheeks and took a deep breath. There was still some warmth remaining on his lips and teeth.

Mu Dongfang calmed his breathing and walked to Xia Mu's side. He asked in a low voice, ”Are the children alright?”

”It's nothing, I was just talking in my sleep.” Xia Mu replied with lowered eyes.

”I …”

”I …”

The two of them spoke up at the same time and their gazes met.

Mu Dongfang smiled and looked at Xia Mu. ”You go first.”

”It's getting late, you should go back.” Xia Mu's face was red as he urged. She was already the mother of her two children. Although she didn't have much experience with what just happened, she still knew what was going on in her heart.

”Alright.” Mu Dong replied with a smile. His reaction just now had probably scared her.

Outside the window, the moon was cool as water. He opened the door and saw that the courtyard was quiet.

Xia Mu accompanied Mu Dong to the door.

”Don't drive after drinking. It's not safe.” Xia Mu said in a low voice.

”Alright, I'll listen to you. What time did you get out earlier? ” Mu Dongfang asked.

”Five.”

”Then tomorrow morning, I'll come pick you up and go with you.”

”No need, it's too early. You should rest a bit more.”

”Xia Mu.” Mu Dong raised his hand to reel back Xia Mu's hair that had fallen by his ear as he said in a low voice, ”Don't reject me. I want to accompany you more, okay?”

The man's voice was as soft as wine, and Xia Mu nodded in agreement.

After Mu Dong left, Xia Mu turned around, locked the courtyard door, and entered the house.

Just as he returned to his room, his phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Xia Mu's face turned red.

”Xia Mu …” The call connected. It was the voice of the person who had just left.

”Mu Dong …” Xia Mu sat at the head of the bed. Remembering the warm smell on his body, he couldn't help but pinch his red lips.

”I'm walking. The night is really beautiful. I really want to walk with you.” On the phone, the man's voice was light and his footsteps light.

Xia Mu got up and turned off the headlight, turned on the bedside lamp and whispered, ”Why are you calling me again?”

”Xia Mu, I missed you. I want to hear your voice more.”

”Mu Dong …” Xia Mu pouted playfully as he shouted, causing the man on the phone to burst out into laughter.

Mu Dongfang had never spoken this much in one breath before. He was in a very good mood, and Xia Mu's answer made him ecstatic.

Once, after that brief marriage, he thought he had lost the ability to love, that he had spent his whole life alone, but who would have thought that he had met Xia Mu, who had enchanted him, intoxicated him, he thought, this gentle and kind girl, must have been given to him by the heavens.

Su Xin, did you see that? She is Xia Mu, and she agreed to be with me. You can leave now, Suxin.

”Mu Dongdong, have you arrived home yet?”

”Soon.”

”Then pay attention to your safety.” Xia Mu paused before continuing, ”See you tomorrow.”

”See you tomorrow.”

Chapter 269 - The Taste of Jealousy

Mu Dongfang had run all the way home.

To him, this distance was nothing. More importantly, his mood was exceptionally good. That young girl called Xia Mu had finally given him an answer that he had been waiting for for a long time.

In the past thirty years of Mu Dong's life, he did not pursue anything. Whether it was his upbringing or his marriage with Cheng Su Xin, everything was natural and was a matter of course. Except for Xia Mu, he fought with all his heart.

Xia Mu was kind and strong. These qualities unwittingly attracted Mu Dongfang. The fate between people was just that wonderful. It was the first time in his life that Mu Dongfang had experienced the feeling of being cautious when facing people he liked and worrying about his personal gains and losses.

He had really fallen in love with the girl, he thought.
