Shen Huaiting looked up at him: "She is very smart, loves to laugh, and likes to read and write. She behaves well in front of others, but she never sticks to trivial details behind others.
Even Mamoru said that his sister is a typical lady, but that is not the case. I am the only one who has seen a different side of her."
Only in front of him will she reveal a different version of herself.
You don’t have to follow the rules, and you don’t have to care about what others think.
These were things Mu Rufeng had never seen before. The Tong Niang he knew had always been well-behaved, which made him feel dull, but it turned out that she was not the real her.
Maybe she can be her true self only in front of the person she likes.
Mu Rufeng took out an envelope from her arms and handed it to him and said, "I was the one who missed Tong Niang's life. Now it's time for me to let her go free."
Shen Huaiting looked at what Mu Rufeng handed over, he reached out and took it and said: "Thank you."
Mu Rufeng said: "Actually, we have met before, at Prince Chen's house.
At that time, the prince said that he had found a confidant, and said that we are both civil and military, and we will definitely be his right-hand man in the future."
Shen Huaiting smiled slightly: "At that time, I often heard the prince mention you. He always praised your bravery and said that you would be a general in the future.
And you did not live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's expectations, but I let him down."
Mu Rufeng said: "If Tong Niang had not married me, everything would have been different."
"yes."
Shen Huaiting looked at him and said: "If there is an afterlife, I will never let go."
Mu Rufeng laughed: "Then it's a deal."
Shen Huaiting reached out and poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Is that why you came to see me to give me this thing?"
Mu Rufeng said: "Of course not, I just want to tell you, don't think that just because Yan Yan recognizes you as your adoptive father, you think she is your daughter.
Yan Yan is my daughter, and I am her father. No one can take my daughter away."
Shen Huaiting said: "Generally, people who say such things have little confidence, and Yan Yan promised me that she will be my daughter in the next life."
Mu Rufeng choked, looked at the man in front of him and said angrily: "Why?"
Shen Huaiting smiled: "Do you still want to marry Tong Niang in the next life?"
Mu Rufeng choked and looked a little sad, then Shen Huaiting said: "No matter who Yan Yan's father is, she will have two fathers. Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person to love her?"
Mu Rufeng snorted: "It's an advantage for you."
Shen Huaiting rolled up the picture in front of him and handed it to him, saying: "Give it to Yan Yan for me."
Mu Rufeng took the painting and said quietly: "The day Tong Niang married me, she cried very sadly."
He remembered that when he lifted the hijab, he saw her eyes that were red from crying.
He knew that she didn't want to marry him, and he also knew that she had someone in mind.
So on the wedding night, he didn't force it.
Later, the two of them treated each other as guests and lived a good life.
Mu Rufeng said: "I knew what happened between you and her before we got married, so I didn't embarrass her.
I told her that she and I would pretend to be a couple and wait until the time is right before we reconcile, and she agreed.
But unexpectedly, my mother saw that there was no movement in Tong's belly, and she heard from somewhere that we had not consummated our marriage, so she actually tampered with my food behind my back."
It was a chaotic night. He couldn't remember clearly what happened. He only remembered seeing Tong Niang's face crying in despair after waking up.
From then on, Tong Niang no longer thought about Heli. She accepted her fate as Mrs. Mu and treated him with respect.
He also tried to get into her heart, but it was all in vain.
