Chapter 60: Biased

Shao Qiyang, who rarely got a chance to be alone with Mu Jingzhe, couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat. “Wh-What?”

He’d thought that Mu Jingzhe had sensed his thoughts and she had the same intention. His heart trembled.

Thinking of the possible obstacles and gossip in the future, Shao Qiyang took a deep breath. He wanted to say something, but he then heard Mu Jingzhe speak.

“I don’t know how to beat around the bush either, so I’ll just tell you directly. There are many ladies in the village who think that you’re not bad and want to marry you, so they’ve asked me before about it.

“I don’t know what you think about this, so I didn’t dare say something for sure. Let me ask you today. What are your thoughts? Are there any girls in the village that you like? Or have you met a suitable girl at work?”

Upon seeing Shao Qiyang’s stunned reaction, Mu Jingzhe quickly said, “You don’t have to be shy. If there’s anyone, just tell me. This concerns your life’s happiness. You have to like the girl.

“Do you have anyone in mind? I’ll help you scout. I’ll do my best to help you.”

The blood in Shao Qiyang’s body instantly turned cold.

His heart sank.

His heart was racing for her, yet she wanted to set up a marriage arrangement for him as his sister-in-law?

Did she really not have any feelings for him? Could she not sense his feelings for her?

Or had she sensed them and deliberately used such a method to make him give up?

Either way, it wasn’t something to be happy about.

Shao Qiyang’s expression was ugly, and his body stiffened. He replied in an uncontrollably stiff tone, “No.”

Mu Jingzhe touched her nose and sighed in her heart. It seemed like he hadn’t forgotten Mu Xue.

However, Mu Xue belonged to Tang Moling, while Shao Qiyang was only the supporting male character. There was no way he could win her over. Surely, he couldn’t possibly refuse to marry for the rest of his life because of her?

Mu Jingzhe softened her tone. “I don’t mean anything by it. It’s just that everyone thinks you’re pretty eligible. I thought you could actually interact more with other girls. You have to interact with a person to know if they’re right for you.”

‘There are other fish in the sea, dear.’

Mu Jingzhe tried her best to persuade him. “Tell me what type of girl you like. I’ll help you keep an eye out. You two can meet and spend some time getting to know each other. It’s fine even if it doesn’t work out eventually, alright?”

She had put it very nicely, but the more she spoke, the darker Shao Qiyang’s countenance became.

“No need,” Shao Qiyang replied stiffly.

Upon seeing Mu Jingzhe’s embarrassed expression, Shao Qiyang even had an impulse to blurt out his true thoughts.

“You…” Shao Qiyang swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After he calmed down, he softened his tone and said, “This matter is not urgent. I’ll see to it when the time comes.”

“Okay.” Mu Jingzhe scratched her head and went to rest.

She had been busy for the past two days, so she quickly fell asleep. Before drifting off to sleep, she even thought of Li Fang, who she was really fond of. If Li Fang became her younger sister-in-law, the two of them could do business together. One could make the accessories, and the other could sell them. It would be awesome if they worked together.

Unfortunately, Li Fang was interested in Shao Qiyang, but Shao Qiyang didn’t seem to have any feelings for her. Now that something had happened to Li Fang’s family, this matter was probably impossible.

The demeanor of the devoted supporting character made Shao Qiyang unable to forget Mu Xue. She could try talking to him about it again after Mu Xue and Tang Moling got married.

Mu Jingzhe hugged Little Bei and fell asleep.

However, Shao Qiyang didn’t sleep the entire night.

Countless times, he wanted to get up and wake Mu Jingzhe up to tell her his intentions, but when he thought of his identity, he lay down again.

He didn’t dare to. He’d had a good impression of Mu Xue previously, but because of his older brother, he hadn’t even had a chance.

At the time, he had been very depressed and had thought that was the most painful moment. However, it was only when he’d met Mu Jingzhe that he’d realized what despair was.

Mu Xue had been only a prospective second sister-in-law. Even then, everyone had said that he stood no chance. Mu Jingzhe was his real second sister-in-law.

She was his sister-in-law. Shao Qiyang knew that he shouldn’t continue falling for her.

“It’s time to wake up. Shao Qiyang, you should wake up after tonight no matter what.”

It would be absurd if he still didn’t wake up.

Shao Qiyang forced himself to give up and wake up. He left the house before dawn.

However, when he got on the road and saw the road he had taken last night, he couldn’t help but think of Mu Jingzhe.

He knew that he shouldn’t think about her, but he couldn’t help it. Only after snapping out of his reverie did Shao Qiyang realize there was a smile on his lips.

He stopped and laughed bitterly.

This relationship was like addictive poison. He clearly knew that he shouldn’t go near it, but he couldn’t help letting himself sink into it.

At the same time, in the Shao Family…

“Little Bei, it’s time to get up and go to school.”

Little Bei was originally in a daze, but she suddenly thought of something and bolted upright.

“Alright, let’s go to school!” She couldn’t wait to tell her classmates that she had been on TV and had even shot an advertisement!

Little Bei got up swiftly.

Mu Jingzhe had just opened the door when Xiao Wu pounced on her.

Before he could even put on his pants, at the sight of Mu Jingzhe, Xiao Wu shouted excitedly, “Mommy!”

When Xiao Wu woke up in the morning, his memories returned to him, and he ran over excitedly to greet Mu Jingzhe.

“Mommy, I wasn’t dreaming, right? Mommy, you really allowed me to call you ‘Mommy’, right?”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t expect him to be so thrilled and enthusiastic this morning. She quickly lifted him up.

“Right, right. But why didn’t you put on clothes? What if you catch a cold?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she bumped into Shao Dong, who was chasing after Xiao Wu while holding his clothes.

Shao Dong looked at her with a faint gaze.

Mu Jingzhe: “…”

She was feeling guilty again.

“Just… Just last night, before Xiao Wu went to sleep, he asked if he could call me ‘Mommy’. I was afraid he would cry, so I agreed.”

She had just told him yesterday that she hadn’t lied to Little Bei, but Xiao Wu was calling her ‘Mommy’ today too.

She wondered if Shao Dong would think she was a big liar.

Shao Dong handed the clothes to Mu Jingzhe, nodded casually, and left.

Mu Jingzhe quickly carried Xiao Wu back to the room and helped him put on his clothes.

Seeing that Shao Dong hadn’t spoken, Xiao Wu got excited and kept calling her ‘Mommy’.

Little Bei glared at him. ‘Why did Xiao Wu also call her Mommy?!’

Her exclusive form of address was gone in just a day!

Little Bei wasn’t petty or domineering, but she was still a little unhappy.

In order to prove that she had grown up, she’d put on her own clothes and shoes, while Mu Jingzhe helped Xiao Wu wear them.

“Mommy, help me put on my clothes too!”

She ran over and pushed Xiao Wu away. “I was the first to call her that. Go and stand behind me.”

Xiao Wu chuckled. “Okay, Sister.”

He didn’t mind and obediently agreed. He even called her ‘Sister’.

Upon seeing Xiao Wu be so obedient, Little Bei couldn’t say anything. She could only turn her head and ask Mu Jingzhe, “Mommy, do you like me more, or do you like Xiao Wu more?”

Mu Jingzhe: “???”

Why would she ask such a question? It was like asking a child, ‘Do you like Mommy more, or do you like Daddy more?’

The answer was, of course… “I like all of you. I like both Little Bei and Xiao Wu.”

“Liar. Mommy, you obviously like Xiao Wu more. You’re the nicest to him.”

Little Bei wanted Mu Jingzhe to like her more instead of liking them equally. “Mommy, you’re biased.”

Xiao Wu was young and hadn’t known how to speak previously, so it was natural for Mu Jingzhe to take care of him more. Little Bei had noticed all of this.

In the past, Little Bei hadn’t said anything, but today, she was a little jealous.

Mu Jingzhe: “No, it’s just that Xiao Wu is the youngest, so I take care of him more. I treat all five of you the same way.”

After saying that, she heard a scoff. She turned around and saw Shao Nan’s ugly countenance. “The same?”

He shook his head and left with his school bag. Shao Xi and Shao Dong glanced at Mu Jingzhe and also left without saying anything.

Mu Jingzhe: “Uh…”
