When Mu Qingyu opened her eyes the next morning, she was alone in the room as Shen Jingmo had already left. Mu Qingyu got up and sat in a daze. The dividing line in the middle of the bed consisting of a blanket was still intact. It seemed that the two of them had a pleasant sleep last night.

Mu Qingyu took out her phone and looked at the time. It was only seven o’clock. Shen Jingmo was up so early.

“You’re up so early?” The man raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked a little surprised. “Good morning, my pretty sister-in-law!” Shen Jinghe grinned and poked his head out from behind.

Even a child is up so early! Mu Qingyu was ashamed of her inferiority! “Good morning!”

“Actually, you don’t have to be in a hurry to get up.” Shen Jinghe walked into the room with a box of milk in his hand. “Mom and Grandma usually start working at eight. You can sleep a little longer.”

Mu Qingyu couldn’t sleep well in another bed, so she shook her head and went into the bathroom to wash up. On the other hand, Shen Jingmo went to Shen Jinghe’s room to shower.

In the afternoon, Shen Jingmo had just finished a conference call and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take Qingyu home first.”

Mu Qingyu was sitting on the sofa with Shen Jinghe. They were playing a game called ‘King’. When the little boy heard Shen Jingmo’s words, he said excitedly, “I also want to go to your house!”

Madam Wu knocked Shen Jinghe on the head. “Don’t join in the fun!”

“No, I still have to play with my sister-in-law!” Shen Jinghe pursed his lips. He was reluctant to part with this friend he just made.

The two of them cooperated very well when playing ‘King’. Mu Qingyu was a talented support. She had saved Shen Jinghe from the enemy’s encirclement numerous times and helped him annihilate the enemy. The two of them played games the entire morning and had a few stars added to their ranks.

Shen Jinghe tugged at the corner of his adept support’s clothes and refused to let go.

As soon as Shen Jinghe made a remark, the five adults present were all shocked.

Father Shen and Mother Shen were silent.

Wu Meixiang hit Shen Jinghe on the butt. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Shen Jinghe covered his butt with his hand and shouted, “I’m not talking nonsense! I know how to read! I saw the marriage agreement! Even after you’re married, you can still play the games you want!”

The crowd looked at the young couple in front of them awkwardly.

Mu Qingyu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed. “Of course, you can play with me. But I can’t just leave your brother alone!” The little girl spoke with curved eyes.

Shen Jingmo was stunned and looked up at Mu Qingyu.

“Will you be obedient? Once I am free, I’ll play with you often, alright?” The little girl bent down and softly consoled the naughty child who was throwing a tantrum. She easily resolved this awkward disaster.

“When will you be free then?” Shen Jinghe tugged at Mu Qingyu’s clothes and said reluctantly, “Don’t forget to come and play with me whenever you’re free…”

“Sure~”

On the way back, Mu Qingyu noticed that Shen Jingmo wasn’t in a good mood. Although he usually didn’t like to talk, she felt that he was particularly unhappy today.

The atmosphere around the man was gravely tense, and the already silent atmosphere became even more depressing.

His dissatisfaction began with the remark that married couple could still pursue their wants after marriage.

Mu Qingyu didn’t know how to gauge his mood, so she followed her guess and asked tentatively, “Mr. Shen, I’ve seen the marriage agreement, and I remember its contents.”

Shen Jingmo’s deep eyes swept over Mu Qingu. The girl was deeply sincere.

“Our marriage didn’t have any emotional foundation. We are only connected through the agreement. However, you don’t have to worry. My social relationships are not messy. I definitely won’t cause you any trouble. I have no right to interfere with your life. But I want to ask you one thing. If you’re going to date another girl, can you not let Grandma know? No matter what, we should be more harmonious on the surface, alright?”
