"Xu Fan, if you like it, I can make it for you every day."

Perhaps because she was too emotional, even such a small detail deeply moved Mu Qingyan.

However, thinking back on it now, she always felt that her conversation with Xu Fan was a bit strange…

After finishing a bowl of soup without a drop left, Xu Fan finally put down the bowl in his hands.

"Comfortable."

After rubbing his belly, Xu Fan comfortably sat in the chair and rested for a while before standing up.

"Qingyan, it's getting late, let's start."

The treatments over these days had been quite effective. Now, Duoduo had hardly any hearing difficulties left, only her speaking was an issue.

With future training, she would be able to speak and listen like a normal person.

"Mhm."

Mu Qingyan nodded and then led Mu Xiaoduo toward her bedroom.

"Xu Fan, let's start."

Mu Qingyan took the Green Bee Needle she kept at home for Xu Fan and silently stood by his side.

Mu Xiaoduo's illness was not too difficult for Xu Fan to treat, and with the repetition of these days, there was no significant time delay, and Xu Fan soon finished the acupuncture.

"Hmm?"

Under the influence of his Inner Strength, Xiaoduo was now lying on the bed, having fallen into a deep sleep.

As he wiped the sweat from his forehead, Xu Fan saw Mu Qingyan standing there in a daze and couldn't help but frown.

In the past, Mu Qingyan would stand by his side as he did the acupuncture and carefully wipe the sweat from his forehead when he was done.

But today, she just sat there, lost in thought.

"Qingyan, are you still thinking about what happened earlier…"

Xu Fan felt that Mu Qingyan was probably still upset about what had happened earlier, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Ah?"

When Xu Fan spoke, Mu Qingyan snapped out of her daze, and looking at Xu Fan in a panic, she shook her head, "Xu Fan, sorry, I was just thinking about something else…"

Xu Fan smiled and placed his hand on hers, not giving her a chance to struggle, "Qingyan, why bother about those rumors?"

"Honestly, they're just jealous and begrudging…"

With her hand tightly held by Xu Fan, Mu Qingyan didn't quite grasp what he had said.

She only felt her heart racing very fast.

"But the thing is, my age…"

Compared to Xu Fan's age, Mu Qingyan felt that her age, heading towards thirty in just a few more years, was too great a difference.

"…"

Xu Fan looked at Mu Qingyan's insecure appearance and couldn't stop feeling frustrated for her.

"Qingyan, you're not old at all, I don't think you're old," he said.

The store opened by Mu Qingyan wasn't very suitable for men; otherwise, Xu Fan was sure that this lovely beauty would attract at least half of the wealthy heirs in Jinling.

"Actually, there is someone I like, but I feel that I'm not good enough for him…"

Mu Qingyan spoke shyly to herself, not thinking too much, Xu Fan just pondered not letting her overthink things.

"Qingyan, you're more than enough for anyone."

"Then Xu Fan, I… I want to be your woman."

Xu Fan's encouragement indeed worked, but he had never expected that by boosting Mu Qingyan's self-confidence, he would hear these words.

"Qingyan, what you're saying…"

"I understand…"

Seeing Xu Fan's reaction, a trace of distress flashed in Mu Qingyan's eyes, and she lowered her head, remaining silent.

Her appearance was truly heartbreaking.

Unable to bear it, Xu Fan took Mu Qingyan's tender hand in his.

"Qingyan, don't misunderstand; I didn't mean that, it's just…"

He couldn't say he had no feelings for Mu Qingyan, but given the complexities with the other women currently in his life, Xu Fan felt quite troubled himself.

"Xu Fan, I don't mind," she said.

"I know I may not compare to other women, but I truly have fallen for you."

"I don't ask for any status, I just hope to have a place in your heart."

"Promise me, don't reject me, okay?"

Xu Fan truly did not know how to refuse.

With a beauty in his arms, not being a restrained man, how could he remain dispassionate?

"Cough cough."

At that moment, a cough came from the side, seemingly Xiaoduo awakening.

Before Xu Fan could react, the seductive Mu Qingyan instantly came to her senses.

Before her daughter could turn this way, she quickly moved away from Xu Fan.

Thinking back on it now, with her daughter right there, how could she degrade herself like that…

Xu Fan, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief; Mu Qingyan had been pressing too hard, and he had almost run out of breath just now.

Now, he had a chance to ease the atmosphere, and he smiled at Xiaoduo.

The ones feeling guilty began removing the Green Bee Needles from Xiaoduo's body...
