Chapter 70 A Real Father and Husband
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.
“Yeah, great time for some family photos.” Chu Feng chimed in happily.
But Duo Duo pushed Chu Feng away, refusing to let Chu Feng follow them, as she said arrogantly, “Daddy, you can’t go there. There are so many pretty ladies over there. What if you got attracted to them and don’t want Mommy anymore?”
With a strict face, Duo Duo continued, “You can’t trust men. They are all womanizers!”
Chu Feng was amused and amazed by all the strange ideas in Duo Duo’s little mind. He wondered where Duo Duo learnt the word ‘womanizer’.
Yun Muqing just smiled bitterly at Chu Feng and took Duo Duo away for photos. Meanwhile, Chu Feng found a quiet place around the park and made a call. His eyes flickered with excitement.
“Luo Gang, I sent you to keep an eye on the Yun Family. How’s everything going so far?”
Last night’s incident, where Yun Muqing went to the Yun Villa alone, had alarmed Chu Feng; he was too careless that he underestimated the power of those influential families in Jiangling and his carelessness almost resulted in a disaster. From now on, he needed to take full control of the situation. He would not allow any more danger to happen to the woman he loved.
On the other end of the phone, Luo Gang reported dutifully, “Feng, our men are keeping an eye on both the Yun and the Li families. Everything is under our control. The seriously injured Yun Xiaoyue was sent to the hospital last night. She won’t be able to move for months so I think she won’t be a threat to us for the moment.”
Chu Feng asked flatly, “How about the others? Any signs of vengeance from them?”
Luo Gang replied, “None. In fact, the Yun Family are trying desperately to conceal last night’s incident to avoid humiliation. After all, they are a prominent family in Jiangling. It’s humiliating enough for having the eldest daughter from their family to get beaten up so badly in front of their own doorsteps.
Not to mention having their eldest daughter begged for her life in front of the house too! The incident itself would tarnish the family’s reputation. I think they will avenge Yun Xiaoyue only after everything has settled down.”
“Watch them closely. Just let me know if they have any moves. I’ll play with them if that’s what they want!” A menacing smile crossed Chu Feng’s face, looking like a vicious predator who was preying upon his victim. “And also, there’s a nanny in the Yun Family called Mrs. Zhao.
She treats Yun Muqing pretty well. Try to get her out of the family and make sure she’s well taken care of for the rest of her life. And don’t forget to credit another three hundred million from my account to hers as a tribute for her kindness.”
