Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

There was a hint of a surprise in Mu Zhishen’s eyes, but he soon disguised it.

As usual, he gave a gentle and elegant smile at the woman he had been yearning for.

“You, why are you here?”

Si Wan sounded joyful to meet in another country an old friend who had been treating her well.

“I’m here to adopt a child.”

Since the secret was open, Mu Zhishen confessed. Besides, he was sure Si Wan would not ask much about it.

The adopter turned out to be a man who had been admiring her. A twinge of guilt suddenly shot through Si Wan.

The first thing crossing Si Wan’s mind was how she had turned down Mu Zhishen repeatedly. Was he hurt so much as to adopt a child from the welfare house?

Indeed, all these years, except her, Mu Zhishen had never confessed to any women. And she had never heard rumors about his private life.

Born in a wealthy family, he, however, had never adopted a posture of superiority.

Be the person an employee, a waiter, or even a scrounger in the street, Mu Zhishen treated them equally and showed due respect.

This was why Mu Zhishen had never been troubled by rumors. Once one spoke against him, those people he once helped would stand out. What was more, those people came from all walks of life and different classes.

Apart from the Four Junior Masters of the Imperial Capital led by Gong Siming and Zhang Qilin, everyone in the city would praise Mu Zhishen.

Si Wan felt too guilty to continue and thus changed the subject.

“Well, this is my sister, Si Yue, and this is my little nephew.”

He looked a bit unnatural when he found out that Si Yue was Si Wan’s sister. Was there anything wrong with his investigation? This was a major oversight.

“I have never heard that you have a sister!” Said Mu Zhishen.

Before Si Wan could walk up to explain, Yue chimed in.

“There are many things you don’t know. Junior Master Mu’s eyes are so keen that you pick out my son from so many children.”

Since when did the child become her son? The dean was surprised.

“Miss Yue, you haven’t officially adopted this child, so you can’t…”

Yue sneered at the garrulous dean. This woman was so stupid. Would a woman as dangerous as Yue approach an innocent child for no reason?

But the dean was wronged. She didn’t even know Yue’s full name. How could she be that thoughtful?

“Dean, do you really think I donated so much money and so many resources to the welfare house for no reason? I don’t need adoption. He is my biological son.” Yue’s cold voice went out.

Although the kid in her arms was still little, he had been living in a big family and long learned how to assess situations. Every single word of Yue was clearly captured by his ears.

He held Yue tightly as if once he let go, he would be abandoned.

Yue was sensitive to the fear and anxiety within her son.

She gently patted the kid on the back to soothe him.

“Back then, it was very dangerous for the child to stay with me. But now I’m pretty sure he will be more in a more dangerous situation if he continues to stay here. I won’t allow anyone to hurt him.”

While speaking, Yue darted a murderous look at the seemingly harmless Mu Zhishen.

“No wonder this kid is so loveable. I couldn’t resist anything related to Si Wan. But definitely, I won’t separate the mother and son. Si’s family members are all excellent.”

Watching by the side, Yue had long perceived the subtleties between Mu Zhishen and Si Wan.

“Mu Zhishen, Si Wan is not someone you can covet. You’d better drop the idea, otherwise, you will pay a heavy price.”

This was a stark threat. Yue didn’t fear the power of Mu’s Family at all.

“Even though you are Si Wan’s sister, you have no right to interfere with her choice.”

Mu Zhishen gave a beaming and charming smile.

“Try me.”

Yue’s arrogance didn’t allow her to yield an inch.

Now their dispute involved Si Wan. To Mu Zhishen, she felt guilty, but that didn’t mean she could bear his extravagance against her family.

Although Yue just broke into her life, they knew each other’s secrets like real families.

Furthermore, since Yue disliked Mu Zhishen so much, she would definitely not have any close contact with the man.

In fact, Yue’s existence served as an excuse. Even without Yue, there were still Gong Siming and Zhang Qilin. So, Si Wan would never accept Mu Zhishen.

“I’ve made it clear to you. My heart is small and only open to one person. I’m sorry.”

With a guilty and painful look, Si Wan glanced at Mu Zhishen.

“Thank you, senior, we should go.”

Following that, Si Wan and Yue walked away with the kid.

Mu Zhishen was not reconciled but said nothing. Watching the leaving figures, he curved up the corner of his mouth to give a meaningful smile.

The dean felt guilty and looked worried.

Putting on a soothing smile, Mu Zhishen spoked to the dean respectfully.

“I’m really sorry for the trouble. Please rest assured, we’ll double the donations to the welfare house.”

Feeling flattered, the dean looked at the positive and refined young man who was superiorly different from that pair of sisters. The dean thanked Mu Zhishen repeatedly, walked him out, and saw him off.

Because the kid wouldn’t let go of Yue, Si Wan drove the car on their way back.

Most of the toys had been left in the welfare house. Si Wan only carried back those in her arms. But those were enough to cheer up the kid.

“Sister Yue, is there any misunderstanding between Mu Zhishen and you?”

Si Wan noticed the anomaly between them and couldn’t just turn a blind eye.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

One was Si Yue, a woman she took as her family member; the other was Mu Zhishen, a man who had been admiring her. She didn’t want to see either of them got hurt.

“No misunderstanding.”

Since there was no misunderstanding, why did the two go tit-for-tat?

“Feud!”

The car almost charged out of the road.

Misunderstandings could be resolved with explanations. Feuds, however, were not that simple.

In Si Wan’s mind, Mu Zhishen had always been a gentle, positive, and refined big brother. Would such a man have enemies?

On a second thought, she believed Yue should have been affected by Gong Siming and others. After all, they had been together for long.

“Sister Yue, in fact, if you associate with Mu Zhishen for some time, you will know he is a good guy. In the imperial capital, he is known for his positivity, benevolence, and morality.”

Yue’s eyes went dim, and she looked at Si Wan pensively.
