Chapter 1485 Is this still considered love?
Mu Ning is quite large, so the car wasn't actually crowded, but it was a bit cramped for three adults because the woman sitting in the middle took up too much space.
Mu Ning tried to move closer to Zhuang Shiyuan, glancing at him every now and then. Zhuang Shiyuan smiled reassuringly at her, holding her hand the whole time. Mu Ning felt a little embarrassed, feeling somewhat out of place with such a beautiful woman sitting next to her, while she herself…
A man like Chuang Shih-yuan deserves a better woman.
"Can we go to the Experimental Primary School? My son will be getting out of school soon." Bai Xin'ai said softly through gritted teeth.
The driver in front was waiting for the owner in the back to speak. Mu Ning looked at Bai Xin'ai and then at Zhuang Shiyuan, and said softly, "How about..."
"I told you, you can decide on such a small matter," Zhuang Shiyuan said in his usual gentle voice.
Mu Ning nodded happily and said to Bai Xin'ai with a hearty tone, "Okay, it's alright. Your son will never expect to see me again."
"……Um."
Upon hearing Zhuang Shiyuan's voice, Bai Xin'ai felt an instant urge to cry. She quickly looked out the window, the fiery passion of her youth so deeply etched in her heart. With her eyes closed, all she could see was his noble face and warm smile; with her ears, all she could hear was his gentle voice and soothing tone. He was the man engraved into her very soul; she could not give him up.
She wants to burn for love once again.
This time, she brought her beloved son along to chase after him. Would that bring them a little closer?
When the car arrived at the Experimental Primary School, Mu Ning looked at the quiet school and then at the time. "Miss Bai, it's not time for get out of class to end yet, is it? Or, should I borrow some money..."
Mu Ning wanted to lend money to Bai Xin'ai so that she could wait for the child there and take a taxi home after school.
It wasn't that she wanted to shirk responsibility; after all, they weren't particularly close friends. If Mu Ning were driving herself, she wouldn't mind staying here and waiting with Bai Xin'ai. But Zhuang Shiyuan was in the car, and she didn't want to drag him into this decision. She could play the good guy, but Zhuang Shiyuan was completely innocent.
But before she could finish speaking, Bai Xin'ai immediately interrupted, "Miss Mu, please wait a moment. Huihui will finish class a little earlier today, which is why I rushed over. Please wait a moment while I go in to pick up the child, is that alright?"
"..." Mu Ning's face stiffened for a moment, then she hesitated and turned to look at Zhuang Shiyuan. Zhuang Shiyuan had already turned his gaze to the window. Mu Ning bit her lip, turned to look at Bai Xin'ai, and then smiled, "Then, can you hurry up?"
"Okay, thank you."
Bai Xin'ai got out of the car and went to the school gate, showed the security guard her parent pick-up card, and entered the school.
Zhuang Shiyuan's gaze darkened, then he turned to Mu Ning, "Even if she doesn't have money, she must have people at school who know her. She can borrow money from her friends to go home. She definitely doesn't need to hitch a ride with you. You two aren't even that close friends, am I right?"
“…Yes, that’s right, but she…”
There are some people who are so irresistible that it's hard to refuse them. They may know that some things are inappropriate, but they just don't know how to say no.
Zhuang Shiyuan gently stroked her face, "These past years without me by your side have made you timid. Don't do things against your conscience, okay?"
"Hmm." Mu Ning nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's not what you think. I haven't become timid. I've just figured out a lot of things, and I think it's fine this way."
"You've become sensible." Zhuang Shiyuan lovingly stroked Mu Ningyu's fair face. Since becoming pregnant, her originally rosy face had turned pale, as if she were anemic, which was heartbreaking to see.
“I’ll be more sensible so you can feel at ease, right?” Mu Ning asked with a smile.
Zhuang Shiyuan nodded, "This will put my mind at ease, but it also makes me even more unsure how to compensate you."
"What's this talk of compensation? Isn't that how it is when two people are together? If you really want to calculate gains and losses, how can you ever make a clear judgment?"
Mu Ning spoke softly, her eyes serious. Zhuang Shiyuan gently embraced her, a feeling of "what more could a husband ask for than a wife like this?" welled up in his heart.
I don’t know if this can still be called love. In any case, she is the only woman who has ever made his heart flutter, and now, she is the only woman who makes his heart ache slightly. She makes him feel tenderness and affection. He doesn’t want to do anything more than to treat her well, cherish her, live a good life with her, hold hands tightly, and walk through this lifetime together.
Is this still considered love?
"Yes, my wife is right," Zhuang Shiyuan murmured.
Mu Ning blushed slightly. He rarely called her that. This way of addressing her, hehe, really made her heart flutter. She felt a little shy.
"Well, they're not married yet," Mu Ning said softly.
"Yes, I know. We'll get married in the spring." Zhuang Shiyuan's voice was as captivating and gentle as ever. After a pause of about two seconds, he suddenly asked, "Will your belly be quite big in two months?"
"Really? But someone as fat as me should be much bigger than others, right?" Mu Ning said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Zhuang Shiyuan smiled but said nothing, gently released her, and looked at Mu Ning with eyes full of tenderness and boundless leniency.
"But I still really hope to get married in such cold weather, so I won't have to worry about not looking pretty in my wedding dress," Mu Ning suddenly laughed.
When the Third Madam mentioned the wedding in the spring, she was always listless, but now, when she talked about it with Zhuang Shiyuan, she was genuinely happy.
"Don't you want to wear a wedding dress anymore?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked rhetorically.
"I'm thinking about it. I'll wear it again after I give birth and successfully lose weight. Then I can take wedding photos with our baby. A photo of the three of us will be so loving, right?"
Zhuang Shiyuan looked at her round face and nodded, "Okay, as you wish."
Mu Ning watched the mother and child approaching from outside. How were they supposed to sit in the car?
Considering there wasn't enough room in the back and that Zhuang Shiyuan couldn't sit in the front because it was more dangerous than the back, they got off the bus immediately.
"Miss Bai, you and the child can sit in the back, I'll sit in the front," Mu Ning said directly.
"Is this... okay?" Bai Xin'ai asked hesitantly.
"It's alright, let me take you back first. You're really too fat to squeeze into the back together." Mu Ning joked, with a gentle smile on her face.
Bai Xin'ai paused for a moment and then said, "How about Huihui and I sit in the front..."
"How can you do that? Hurry up and get in the car, it's still quite cold outside." Mu Ning pushed Bai Xin'ai, lowered her eyes and winked at little Bai Chenhui. The little guy recognized her and immediately jumped up excitedly.
"I remember you, you're that chubby auntie from that day."
