Hearing her direct question, Mu Qian couldn't lie down for a while. He slowly sat up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and asked, "Why do you think something happened?"
"I don't know." Lu Yuan said, "I just feel like there is something going on between you and dad."
"Then why don't you ask him directly?"
Lu Yuan slowly lowered his eyes and said, "Dad and I never talk about this."
"Why?"
"Get used to it." Lu Yuan said slowly, "I never ask about dad's affairs."
Mu Qian hugged her legs and tilted her head slightly to look at her, "You didn't ask before, why don't you ask now?"
After Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at her.
Although they have never discussed this topic explicitly, in fact they all know that the Lu Yuchuan in the past and the Lu Yuchuan now are different to Lu Yuan.
Mu Qian didn't want to dig into the past of Lu Yuan and Lu Yuchuan. She only knew that now, since Lu Yuchuan loved her, he must also love Lu Yuan.
Therefore, she should have been more relaxed in front of Lu Yuchuan.
Lu Yuan exhaled slightly, and after a while, he said: "I didn't ask before because I felt that my father's affairs had nothing to do with me."
"what about now?"
Lu Yuan said slowly: "Now, it's because I believe in him."
Mu Qian's eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
"I believe he will be able to do what he promised me." Lu Yuan said, "So, I won't ask him."
When Mu Qian heard this, she couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
"Qianqian, do you believe him?" Lu Yuan asked.
Mu Qian was silent for a moment before finally nodding, "I probably believe it."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "That's good."
Mu Qian couldn't help but look at her again, "Is this enough?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "As long as you believe in dad's sincerity and know the efforts he has made for us, that's enough, isn't it?"
Mu Qian wanted to say something else, but when the words came to her lips, she paused and did not speak again for a while.
Until there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and then Lu Yuchuan's voice sounded outside the door: "Two princesses, it's time to turn off the lights in the castle, it's time to go to bed."
"I understand, Your Majesty the King." Lu Yuan suddenly responded.
Lu Yuchuan laughed and then walked away.
After Lu Yuan responded, she turned around, only to find that Mu Qian was still looking at her motionless.
Before she could ask anything, Mu Qian had already said in a low voice: "You have actually been looking forward to this state for a long time, right?"
"Yes." Lu Yuan whispered.
Mu Qian smiled softly, and then said after a while: "I am not the same."
"Qianqian..."
"When I was a child, during the years I lived in the Huo family, I dreamed of similar scenes countless times." Mu Qian said, "So at this moment, it really feels like a dream."
Lu Yuan paused again.
When she was a child, when she was in the Huo family...
At that time, the person in her dream would not be Lu Yuchuan.
So, this is just a dream after all.
The dream will eventually wake up.
Lu Yuan knew what Mu Qian was telling her. After a long time, she reached out her hand and gently held Mu Qian's hand bit by bit.
Mu Qian just stared at her quietly.
"I know." Lu Yuan said in a low voice, "I understand."
Mu Qian held her back, tightened her hand little by little, and finally squeezed her hand tightly.
Lu Yuan never avoided it.
After a while, Mu Qian suddenly laughed, and with helplessness and guilt, she slowly said: "When will you stop being so peaceful and wishless?"
Lu Yuan whispered: "In this state, I will be comfortable and you will be comfortable too. So, this is the best."
Mu Qian didn't say anything else, she just stretched out her hand and hugged her tightly.
…
In the early morning, Lu Yuchuan, who was in the bedroom, suddenly heard a movement from outside.
He was always alert, and on a night like this, he didn't fall asleep at all.
Soon, Lu Yuchuan put on his clothes and stood up, opened the door and took a look, only to see the lights shining in the small hall on the second floor.
In such a situation, it is natural that no outsider would break in.
Lu Yuchuan quickly relaxed his body and mind and walked out slowly.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the small hall, Lu Yuchuan saw Mu Qian, but at this glance, he frowned.
Like a little mouse stealing things, Mu Qian moved a lot of snacks and piled them in front of her. On the table next to her, there was even a bottle of wine!
"Nonsense!" Lu Yuchuan quickly stepped forward, "It's so late and you're not sleeping. What are you doing here?"
Mu Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him, and replied without fear: "I'm not in a good mood, and I want to find a chance to vent, can't I?"
"You are pregnant now, how can you eat these things and drink alcohol?" Lu Yuchuan said, "I have to report this matter to your husband truthfully."
Mu Qian suddenly lost his temper again and threw the snacks in front of him at him one by one, "Did I eat? Did I eat? Did I drink? Did I drink?"
The bags of snacks were thrown at Lu Yuchuan. They were unopened and looked a little strange.
Lu Yuchuan grabbed a packet and put it to his ear, shook it, and found that although it was unopened, the contents inside had not been crushed.
Mu Qian had already picked up another bag and started squeezing it with a look of resentment.
Lu Yuchuan couldn't help but chuckle, then walked to Mu Qian and sat on the ground with her without any care, "Snacks are for pinching, what about wine?"
"Nonsense." Mu Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it okay if you don't let people drink it and just smell it?"
Lu Yuchuan laughed out loud immediately, "I know that my Qianqian is very measured."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qian seemed to be even more angry and rubbed the snack bag in her hand harder.
"Okay." Lu Yuchuan took away the snack bag from her hand, "Don't vent on snacks. If you are dissatisfied, vent it on daddy."
Mu Qian's hands were empty and she couldn't help but grit her teeth, then looked at him again, "You know what I'm doing!"
After Lu Yuchuan heard this, he felt a little helpless, but he was more relieved, "Are you still worried about dad going to Huai City?"
"No." Mu Qian frowned and denied, "I'm not worried about people like you who don't listen to advice."
Lu Yuchuan was used to her naysaying for a long time. He just thought it was funny and said, "Then just go back and sleep."
"Lu Yuchuan!" Mu Qian was so angry that she called him by his first name.
Lu Yuchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't feel dissatisfied. He just waited for her to continue.
Mu Qian looked at him quietly for a long time before finally saying, "Can you not go to Huai City?"
"Didn't I already tell you that I won't let anything happen to me?"
"I know, I know!" Mu Qian said anxiously, "I'm not a fool, I remember everything you said!"
Lu Yuchuan reached out and touched her head, "Then what's wrong with you?"
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment and then finally said: "I'm very panicked. I always feel that something will happen..."
"Silly girl..." Lu Yuchuan couldn't help laughing.
"My intuition has always been very accurate!" Mu Qian turned to look at him, "It has always been like this."
Lu Yuchuan reached out to hold her hand and said, "You are pregnant, so you are emotionally unstable."
"No! It's the sixth sense!" Mu Qian said, "It's because of you!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and held Lu Yuchuan tightly. Her eyes were both angry and worried, "Don't go..."
Lu Yuchuan patted the back of her hand gently, laughed at first, and then said: "No one has told Dad this for a long time. I am really happy to hear it from you..."
"Then don't go!" Mu Qian said.
Lu Yuchuan exhaled slightly and said, "But things always have to be resolved, and we can't keep delaying them like this."
"Everything has a solution. There is not just one way to go." Mu Qian bit her lip, and then said, "Since this matter is so difficult, let's not confront them head-on. At worst, avoid them... go abroad.
!You can always get rid of them by going to a place where they can’t be found!”
Lu Yuchuan heard this and responded, "Well, dad goes abroad, and then what? From now on, we are far apart from you, and we won't see you once a year?"
"We can visit you." Mu Qian said, "As long as you are safe and sound, we can fly over to see you at any time."
Lu Yuchuan laughed softly and said, "If it were you, would you let yourself choose this way?"
"I will!" Mu Qian replied decisively, "In order for my children to feel at ease, I will definitely choose the method that gives them the most peace of mind to protect myself!"
"Lie." Lu Yuchuan stretched out his hand, tapped her forehead lightly, and said, "You are the most like dad, so you understand dad, and dad also understands you. You have a heart that yearns for freedom, dad.
is also like this."
"You are also free when you go abroad!" Mu Qian said, "No one will monitor you and detain you. You can do whatever you want and live how you want, right?"
"You just need to avoid certain people and avoid certain places throughout your life, right?" Lu Yuchuan added.
Mu Qian bit her lip, "This is also a helpless solution."
"No, to me, this kind of freedom is meaningless." Lu Yuchuan said slowly, "What I want is absolute freedom."
When he said this, Lu Yuchuan's eyes behind the lenses were no longer watery and gentle, but cold.
Although it only passed in the blink of an eye, Mu Qian still saw the fierce determination in his eyes.
She couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then she said in a low voice: "What is absolute freedom?"
Lu Yuchuan had regained his gentle appearance, and said with a faint smile: "Of course...I want to be in Tongcheng, just in Tongcheng. If I want to go abroad, I can go abroad. When I want to see you, dad will go see you. I want to see Yuanyuan.
When the time comes, go see Yuanyuan. If you miss my grandchildren, go and accompany them, or bring them to me. Of course I have to make the final decision on my own affairs, how can I be controlled by others?"
