My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 853 - 864 Encounters a Scheming Bitch 3

Lin Xiangwan woke up early the next morning and began to dress and make herself up, sorting through outfits in the wardrobe room.

"What are you busy with? Up and bustling about so early?"

Yawning sleepily, Qin Muchuan propped up his upper body and looked at her.

Lin Xiangwan glanced towards the door at him. "Sorry, did I disturb you?"

Qin Muchuan was particularly busy last night, with video conferences until ten, followed by social engagements, and he didn’t get home until two in the morning.

He certainly hadn’t had enough rest yet.

"It’s okay, but what are you busy with today?"

These days, she had been staying at home, either accompanying her mother-in-law on shopping trips or vacationing in nearby cities.

She had been so busy that she barely had time for him, her husband—a matter that he did indeed take to heart.

So early today, was she off to play again?

Was she planning to be away from home for a few days?

"Nothing much to be busy with, just more aimless wandering!" said Lin Xiangwan matter-of-factly.

Qin Muchuan’s brows furrowed, showing no emotion as he lit up a cigarette. "Aimless wandering? Haven’t you almost visited all the sights around here? Where do you want to wander off to now?"

His voice was low. Maybe others wouldn’t understand the situation, but how could she not?

Lin Xiangwan walked back to his side and gave him a peck. "Husband, are you unhappy?"

Qin Muchuan didn’t push her arms away, allowing her to be close. "I’m not angry, it just doesn’t feel great to be neglected by you all the time; why is it so hard to see you now?"

"Hard to see me? How can that be? It’s not difficult for you to see me at all. I laze around the house all day; you can see me whenever you want. On the contrary, you’re so busy with work, managing the company, and maintaining relations on all fronts. It seems like 24 hours aren’t enough for you. For me to see you, that’s truly as hard as ascending to the sky!"

Qin Muchuan’s face turned sour upon hearing the last few words. "What are you talking about? Don’t keep spouting nonsense, understand?"

Lin Xiangwan touched her aching cheek and admitted her mistake. "I was wrong; I won’t speak out of turn again."

"Do you really know you were wrong?" His brows furrowed again as he pressed the question.

"Of course I know, there’s no need to ask," Lin Xiangwan said with an especially cooperative attitude.

"Hmm..." Qin Muchuan didn’t continue, considering her tone.

Lin Xiangwan frowned, not understanding what else he was holding against her.

What more did he want her to promise? Why was he still looking at her with dissatisfaction?

Qin Muchuan continued to gaze at her with the scrutiny of a high school inspector.

Feeling the pressure mounting, Lin Xiangwan asked, "What are you looking at?"

Qin Muchuan blew a disdainful breath toward her and lowered his cheek to look at her. "Girl, you tell me. What am I looking at?"

"I don’t know," Lin Xiangwan said, staring dumbly at him, her gaze silly.

Qin Muchuan patted her head, glaring at her with feigned fury. "Then how can you still know you were wrong, yet still come and ask me!"

"I just know I was wrong!" Lin Xiangwan emphasized. "You said not to speak without thinking, and I won’t do it anymore!"

"That’s the only thing you did wrong?" Qin Muchuan challenged.

"What else then?" She looked utterly clueless.

"What else?" Qin Muchuan almost laughed at her in exasperation.

His kind of laughter left Lin Xiangwan with no desire to smile, especially since she couldn’t—his clear discontent had yet to be fully voiced!

"What are you trying to say?" Lin Xiangwan asked, feeling particularly uncomfortable.

"Wife, have you been too busy lately? Maybe you should pay some attention to me?" Qin Muchuan whispered into her ear all of a sudden.

In an instant, Lin Xiangwan’s heart clenched in discomfort, overwhelmed with guilt.

Indeed, she had been too much lately, not properly spending time with him.

"Sorry, sorry, I got so excited about suddenly having mom and dad around, I’ve been with them every day, feeling super happy, so I forgot about you..."

...

"So, it’s revenge, then? You forgot about me just like that and even admitted it?" Qin Muchuan said angrily, very angrily.

"I’m being honest, isn’t that a good thing?" Lin Xiangwan retorted.

Qin Muchuan’s look became even more ferocious. "You little rascal, you dare to say that."

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking. The more I say, the more I’m wrong!" Lin Xiangwan quickly shut her mouth.

"I think you should indeed keep your mouth shut, otherwise you’re in for it!" Qin Muchuan glared at her, speaking very sternly.

As Lin Xiangwan thought about his implication, her cheeks turned instantly red.

"Stop it!"
