When Jin Muchen came in, he found that Jin Lin was pouting, a whole face full of unwillingness.
"Whether you admit it or not, she's my wife, your stepmother." Jin Muchen said, patting Jin Lin's head.
"I don't accept it." Jin Lin replied coldly.
"Also, she doesn't know about our family's background." Jin Muchen continued despite Jin Lin's denial.
Upon hearing this, Jin Lin suddenly showed interest.
"Are you saying this woman doesn't know you're the CEO of JT?"
Jin Muchen nodded.
"So you're implying that this woman is very ordinary."
"Watch your language."
Confronted with this child's temper, Jin Muchen didn't know what to say.
He just consoled him with a few words and didn't say anything more.
Somehow, he believed that the woman downstairs would win Jin Lin's approval.
Soon, the woman downstairs shouted to the upstairs, "Mr. Jin, bring your kid down for dinner."
Jin Muchen, upon hearing this, said to Jin Lin, "Let's go."
"I'm not hungry."
Gurgle ...
His stomach growled, causing Jin Lin's face to turn red.
Soon, father and son were sitting at the dining table. The steaming meals were a little uncomfortable for them.
"Give it a try, it's been a while since I've cooked."
Su Qiqi picked up her bowl and chopsticks, urging the father and son.
Jin Muchen took up his chopsticks first, took a piece of braised pork in his mouth, chewed a few times, his expression stunned.
"How is it?" Su Qiqi looked at Jin Muchen expectantly.
Jin Muchen nodded and smiled, "It's good, just to my taste."
"Really? That's great, I was worried it wouldn't suit your taste."
She then put a piece of pork into Jin Lin's bowl.
"Jin Lin, you try it."
Jin Lin's face turned cold, he picked up that piece of meat with his chopsticks, intending to throw it away. But at that moment, he saw Jin Muchen's icy stare.
He withdrew his action, then put it in his mouth and chewed a few times.
He was immediately surprised and started eating quickly, gulping down several mouthfuls of rice.
Seeing this, Su Qiqi finally showed a smile, and quickly added a few more shrimp pieces to Jin Lin's plate.
Watching Jin Lin wolfing down the food, Jin Muchen couldn't help looking at Su Qiqi.
This woman was always full of surprises.
The three of them, like a family of three, were having dinner at the table. Although they weren't laughing and talking, it made the usually icy house feel a bit warmer.
Just then, Su Qiqi's phone rang.
She looked at the number, hesitated for a while, but answered it.
"Hello, Dad."
On the phone, Su Tiancheng chuckled: "Qiqi, are you still mad?"
"As long as you're happy." Su Qiqi responded coldly.
Upon hearing this, Su Tiancheng wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat.
Noticing the silence on the other end, Su Qiqi asked, "Is there something?"
Laughing again, Su Tiancheng said, "Qiqi, since you're married now, you should bring the man over to meet us?"
Su Qiqi frowned, worrying that they might be planning something again.
But then again, it's indeed unreasonable for her to get married without bringing her spouse over.
"I'll find a time." After saying that, Su Qiqi quickly ended the call.
Watching her emotional changes and the name she called on the phone, Jin Muchen easily guessed that she must be in trouble again.
"What's wrong?" Jin Muchen asked quietly as Jin Lin kept eating his meal.
Wanting to say something, Su Qiqi looked at Jin Muchen, unsure of how to start.
"Um... my family wants you to come home with me."
Jin Muchen's eyes flicker and then he nods, "I should. What about Friday night? I'll prepare some gifts these couple of days."
Su Qiqi quickly shakes her head and says, "No need, don't laugh, but my family is a bunch of snobs, except for my dad. So I don't want you to face them."
Jin Muchen smiles slightly and says, "We can't avoid meeting forever, can we? Since your parents have asked for a meeting, we can't refuse."
Su Qiqi doesn't know what to say anymore.
At this moment, Jin Lin puts down his chopsticks, very gentlemanly wipes his mouth with a tissue.
"Thank you." He said and went straight upstairs.
Su Qiqi is stunned.
Seeing this, Jin Muchen explains, "That's just the way he is, take your time. I believe you can make him accept you."
Su Qiqi nods her head.
After dinner, Su Qiqi cleans up the dishes, washes the dishes, and cleans up, being very diligent.
Jin Muchen sitting in the living room on the couch drinking tea.
When Su Qiqi finished everything, she sat on the sofa, took out her notebook and began to revise her design scheme.
She worked all night without stopping.
At the other side, Jin Muchen looked at her profile, slightly distressed, "You don't really have to do this."
"Huh?" Su Qiqi is a little confused. These two always say something bluntly.
She was always a bit slow to respond.
"I mean chores like cooking and washing dishes." Jin Muchen explains again.
Su Qiqi quickly waved her hands, "It's okay. After all, I am living in such a comfortable place without paying a penny. I should contribute."
Jin Muchen, seeing this, didn't press the matter further. Instead, he pointed to another room on the first floor and said, "There's a study in there where you can work if you want."
Su Qiqi shook her head. "No need. It's yours."
"I have a study room on the second floor. Don't go there unless it's necessary. I don't like to be disturbed."
Hearing Jin Muchen's words, Su Qiqi's first thought was, does Jin Muchen have something hidden in his room?
Keeping a beloved woman in seclusion? Or something like an inflatable doll?
True, it is natural for someone his age to have such needs, right?
Jin Muchen, watching this woman with changing facial expressions, couldn't help but frown.
"Miss Su?"
"Ah, okay, I won't go to the second floor unless it's necessary, and I won't disturb you." Su Qiqi's face suddenly turned red.
Jin Muchen was a little confused. Why is this woman blushing?
"Cool, then get some rest early." With that, Jin Muchen got up and went upstairs.
At this moment, Su Qiqi's face turned even redder. Did Jin Muchen not understand the meaning of "you two"?
However, seeing the unfamiliar environment around her, she felt somewhat insecure.
The following day.
Jin Muchen woke up Jin Lin.
When the father and son came downstairs after freshening up, they found two exquisite breakfasts and milk, and a sticky note on the dining table.
The woman was gone.
Jin Muchen picked up the sticky note and read it.
"Mr. Jin and Jin Lin, you better have your breakfast diligently. Stop having burgers or any such unhealthy food from outside."
At this, his lips curled up.
Jin Lin took a sip of the milk, "It's warm! You've found a nice nanny."
Jin Muchen's face darkened, "She is the wife."
After the father and son finished their breakfast, Jin Lin was picked up by the kindergarten bus.
The driver was also waiting for Jin Muchen punctually at the gate.
Once in the car, Jin Muchen said to the driver, "From tomorrow onwards you don't need to pick me up, just get me an ordinary car."
"Mr. Jin, is it something I did?" The driver panicked.
Jin Muchen explained, "No, just do as I said, call me when I need a ride. By the way, during this time, you should arrange a position for me in the real estate department. You don't need to reveal my identity to them. If anyone asks, just tell them I exist."
"Okay, Mr. Jin." The driver was relieved. He thought Jin Muchen was going to fire him.
