Mu Chen said in a soft voice, “We’ve not named the baby yet. We wanted to wait for your return before doing so.”
Song Ning looked at Jiang Jin and said, “Grandma, why don’t you name him for us?”
Jiang Jin smiled. “There’s no rush. Let’s decide on his name when you come home. We’ll just call him Baby for now.”
Upon hearing the word ‘baby’, the baby turned to look at Jiang Jin and made a cooing noise as he giggled.
Jiang Jin was delighted. “Does our baby like to be called Baby?”
Song Ning continued to carry the baby, unwilling to part with him. He was the baby whom she had carried for ten months. The baby whom Mu Chen thought was a little princess while he was in her womb.
Words could not describe the joy of this family reunion.
…
When Mu Qing returned home, he saw Liang Zhou curled up on the couch reading a book.
Liang Zhou revealed a surprised expression when she saw Mu Qing. “Why are you back?”
Mu Qing frowned and said unhappily, “Isn’t this my home? Why? Is there something wrong with me coming back to my home?”
Liang Zhou smiled and hastily said, “What are you talking about? I just thought you were really busy. You haven’t been back for a while now so I was just surprised. Have a seat and rest. I’ll get the cook to prepare your favorite dishes. Oh, that’s right. Will you be staying for dinner?”
Initially, Mu Qing did not plan to stay for long. However, for some reason, after seeing Liang Zhou’s attitude, he suddenly did not feel like leaving yet. Hence, he took a seat on the couch.
Liang Zhou was someone with a strong personality. She was passionate, unrestrained, and stubborn. She had always watched him very closely due to her being very possessive. Mu Qing knew this very well. The more she acted that way, the more she cared and loved him. However, he felt that she was different today. To be precise, she had been a little different recently.
Although he rarely came back home, she did not call him to pester him. This was very unlike her. He had been very busy so he did not pay much attention to this matter previously.
He could not help but wonder if Liang Zhou no longer cared for him as much as before. Then, he shook his head, dismissing that thought. As the saying went, ‘A leopard can’t change its spots overnight’. Her love for him was etched into her bones; how could her feelings change so abruptly?
This was one of the reasons he did not spend much effort to change Ye Xin’s personality. He knew it was a difficult task to change someone. Rather than changing her, he decided it was better to let the people around her adapt her to her new personality. After all, they could attribute her birth to post-partum reasons. As time passed, the people around her would slowly get used to her change and no longer questioned it.
Mu Qing had always been meticulous so how could he not notice the slight change in Liang Zhou. The change successfully piqued his interest. He was so interested in finding out the reason behind the change that questioning her about the recent events seemed less important.
When Liang Zhou returned from the kitchen, Mu Qing was already brewing a pot of tea. She stepped forward to help him as she said with a smile, “I brewed tea for the Old Madam previously. She said my skills aren’t bad, and I told her you’re the one who taught me how to brew tea.”
Liang Zhou’s expression was joyful and relaxed while her hands were nimble as she worked.
Mu Qing could not help but feel startled. Liang Zhou had indeed changed. For example, when she had spoken about the Old Madam earlier, it was different. For the longest time, Jiang Jin was her enemy. In the past, when she mentioned Jiang Jin, her tone would be filled with unconcealable dissatisfaction, resentment, and unwillingness. However, now, her tone was cordial and carried a hint of pride.
‘What’s going on? Is Mother opening up to her? Has mother begun to accept her?’ Mu Qing wondered inwardly. However, it was strange. If that was the case, Liang Zhou should have been more excited.. For some reason, at this moment, she made him feel as though she no longer cared if she was accepted into the Mu family.
