Mu Jingxi patted his head, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, "Then do you know that your little uncle is responsible for protecting her?"
Mu Shaoxi furrowed his little brows, looking puzzled.
Clearly, he did not understand the connection between his little uncle teaching the bad aunt a lesson and protecting her.
"To put it simply, if she slaps your left cheek, your little uncle has to help her slap your right cheek, understand?"
Mu Shaoxi's face was a picture of shock, fearfully covering his own cheeks!
"Shaoxi, don't make a fuss if you get bullied in the future."
"Why?" Mu Shaoxi asked innocently.
"Because it's embarrassing."
The servants listening on the side felt embarrassed—clearly, the third young master was... intimidating the young master!
At the dining table, only three people were eating.
Qiao An had her head down, focused on eating her breakfast, having entered a state of oblivion.
After a while, she put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her lips with a napkin, starting to think.
She looked up at the silent Mu Jingxi and... at Mu Shaoxi, whose eyes were rolling around as he stared at her.
"Is it just us dining?"
The man was unmoved, coldly ignoring her.
"Jingxi?" Qiao An propped her chin with one hand, smiling harmlessly.
"Miss Qiao, we are not yet familiar enough to call each other by name."
Mu Jingxi picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of his lips, looked at his wristwatch, "You need to be at Han Palace by ten in the morning, His Excellency the President wants to see you."
Qiao An couldn't figure out what Ji Qingxin saw in such a boring and rigid man.
Unable to figure it out, she simply gave up thinking about it.
With plenty of time before ten, she could go back to her bedroom for some more sleep.
Having been observed in the hospital overnight and confirming that the fetus was not in any danger, Ji Qingxin was brought back to the Ji Family.
This marriage, the Ji Family had expended a lot of effort to secure.
Now, the emergence of Qiao An made them feel a sense of crisis looming.
Chen Min advised her earnestly, "Qingxin, go to the Mu Family later, no matter what, get your marriage certificate with Jingxi today."
The original plan was to register on the wedding day, but unexpectedly, such an incident had occurred.
The registration had been postponed.
"Mom, I understand."
Arriving at the Mu Family Main Building, it was just nine o'clock.
Qiao An and Mu Jingxi were just about to leave for Han Palace.
Han Palace is where His Excellency the President works; seeing her there was very formal.
For this reason, she had purposely changed into a new outfit, a Chanel haute couture dress that made her appear even more elegantly sweet.
Just as she was about to get into the car, Ji Qingxin came down from it.
She wore a light grapefruit-colored dress, soft and flowing, with a slightly tailored design that revealed her slightly protruding belly.
"Jingxi, where are you going?" Ji Qingxin refused the driver's help, walking over step by careful step.
Mu Jingxi's brow furrowed slightly as he quickly stepped forward to support her, "What are you doing here?"
"I... always feel anxious, so I wanted to come see you," Ji Qingxin said as she nestled into his embrace.
A chill flashed in Qiao An's eyes, and her red lips sardonically curled into a smile, "Jingxi, it's time to go."
Ji Qingxin, nestled in Mu Jingxi's arms, seemed to finally notice that Qiao An was also present.
She had heard from Ji Zhicheng and Chen Min that this woman had quite the background.
Even His Excellency the President was protecting her.
The more she knew about her prominent status, the more Ji Qingxin felt anxious and uneasy.
For some reason, the way Qiao An looked at her...
