Suddenly, Yun Muqing’s eyes were wet with tears and her nose tingled as if she was about to cry. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to have breakfast while carefully wiping the tears off her cheeks.
It was the first time in 5 years that Yun Muqing felt safe and finally felt the happiness of having someone whom she could count on.
It was another sunny weekend morning. The cool autumn breeze blew gently and the clouds floated lightly in the bright sky. In a park near the residential area, some young people were seen lounging and jogging around the area. They came to relax themselves in the park during the leisurely weekend.
Chu Feng and Yun Muqing walked side by side with each other. They looked like a sweet, beautiful couple much envied by the visitors in the park. Duo Duo was playing happily with other kids in the park. They went kite-flying and played hide-and-seek together. Indeed, all three of them looked like a happy family together that would have made anyone envious.
Yun Muqing never felt so relaxed and happy before. This was not the first time she had imagined Chu Feng to be the biological father of Duo Duo. It would be great if Chu Feng is Duo Duo’s real father… But unfortunately, all of this was just an act. It was not real. How should I face Chu Feng in the future? What should I do if Duo Duo found out about the truth?
Preoccupied with all the questions in her head, she felt her relationship with Chu Feng—her ‘fake’ husband—became more and more complicated. However, unbeknown to Yun Muqing, Chu Feng was Duo Duo’s biological father. It was only Chu Feng, who was still struggling to be honest with his complicated identity, was hesitant to reunite with her; reality could be cruel to people sometimes.
Walking along with Chu Feng, Yun Muqing said in worry, “Chu Feng, I think I need to go to Yun Villa again. Yun Xiaoyue suffered a bad injury after you beat her up. I was worried they might take it out on Mrs. Zhao, the nanny who always stood up for me in the villa. She’s the only family member I’ve got left in the villa. I have to save her.”
Chu Feng promised Yun Muqing with his reassuring and calm voice, “Alright, just leave it to me. I’ll take care of it.”
“Err… Alright then.” Yun Muqing nodded. She noticed that her reliance on Chu Feng grew over time. The reliance however, worried and even horrified her, which made her heart suddenly skip a beat. Could it be possible that she had truly fallen in love with this man? No, surely not!
“Mommy! Mommy!” At that moment, Duo Duo ran happily toward Yun Muqing. She held Yun Muqing’s hand and said, “The maple leaves over there are so beautiful. A lot of pretty ladies are taking pictures over there. Let’s go there too!”
“Okay, let’s go.” Yun Muqing smiled; she needed some distractions to sweep away her worries.
