My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 31 - 2 0 Love Sealed with a Kiss_1

“My wife?” Qin Muchuan frowned before explaining, “I’m still single. What wife are you talking about?”

“But you have a daughter!”

“Yes, I do have a daughter. It doesn’t mean though that I got married!”

“Oh…” an understanding dawned on Lin Xiangwan.

She came to the realization that wealthy men are probably quite capricious, and that having a child out of wedlock wasn’t such an outlandish idea.

“Hehe…” Qin Muchuan chuckled softly, reaching out to pat her soft head. “It’s not what you think. I’ll explain it when I have time.”

“Alright!” Lin Xiangwan replied nonchalantly.

When would they ever have the time to meet again?

Furthermore, whether he was married or not didn’t concern her, a stranger.

“Are you at ease dining with me now?” Qin Muchuan slightly lowered his head to ask in an almost hushed voice.

Though his actions and tone were perfectly normal, the living room was small, and his tall stature made the atmosphere feel unusually intimate and ambiguous.

“Ahem…”, she coughed uncomfortably. “What would you like to eat then? The neighborhood is quite messy with the ongoing construction. There aren’t any proper restaurants around. There is just a roadside noodle stall. The hygiene and environment there are really poor. Can you tolerate it?”

Qin Muchuan frowned in consideration. “We can go somewhere further.”

“Then do you want to drop me back home?” She didn’t want to return home alone, especially not at this late hour. It might be dangerous!

Therefore, she must have him drop her off.

“That shouldn’t be a problem!”

“But you drank quite a bit earlier and will still be driving…” Lin Xiangwan pondered over what would be the most reasonable option.

Indeed, Qin Muchuan had consumed quite a bit of alcohol earlier, and was feeling hungry and tired. “Then, could you prepare something for me to eat? Do you have anything at home?”

“I have some dumplings that I made. Would that be okay?” Lin Xiangwan thought for a moment. A few days ago, she had made a bunch and frozen them in the refrigerator.

“Dumplings? Sounds good!” Qin Muchuan inquired with great interest. “What sort of filling do they have?”

“There are celery, cabbage, leek, and pickled mustard green fillings. Which one do you like?”

“I like meat fillings!” Qin Muchuan declared without any pretense.

“Hehe…” Lin Xiangwan chortled. Why did Mr. Qin sound like Ranran when he said ‘meat fillings’? Was she imagining it? “Eating meat fillings isn’t suitable for late nights as it’s not easy to digest. How about celery and meat?”

“That works!” Qin Muchuan’s response, however, was slightly reluctant.

“Let me go prepare it. It’ll be ready in about ten minutes.”

“Hmm!” Qin Muchuan lounged on the sofa casually.

Her house was quite small but decorated warmly and kept very clean. Soon, Qin Muchuan closed his eyes and gradually drifted into sleep.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiangwan came out with steaming hot dumplings.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin…” she gently shook his shoulder.

Qin Muchuan, who had been sound asleep, slowly opened his eyes. For a moment, he had the odd sensation that he was looking at his ‘wife’. She had loosely tied hair, a clean face that was brimming with tender affection, and underneath her long, white neck was an apricot-colored apron that gave her an air of kind-hearted wifeliness.

Moreover, he had a strangely familiar feeling about her, as though he had known her for a long time and she wasn’t a stranger at all. It even seemed like she had always been his!

Qin Muchuan grasped her hands and pulled her slightly towards him without thinking.

“Oh…” She didn’t anticipate this and couldn’t resist his pull. She was saved from completely falling into his arms by her knees landing on the sofa beside him.

“Mr. Qin, the dumplings are ready!” she managed to say.

Qin Muchuan looked at her intently, the familiar sensation she evoked made his heart flutter. “Who are you?”

“Huh?”

“Tell me, who are you exactly?”

“I… I am Lin Xiangwan…”

“Xiangwan… Xiangwan…” Qin Muchuan murmured her name, his gaze deepening like a tranquil, shadowy lake in the middle of the night.

Underneath his gaze, Lin Xiangwan nervously swallowed. “…”

“Why do you seem so familiar? Have we met before?” Qin Muchuan asked confusedly.

“How could that be?” Lin Xiangwan’s mind suddenly cleared. Isn’t this line a bit too cliché? She didn’t think even Mr. Qin would resort to using it!

Qin Muchuan held her wrist tighter, his grip was domineering but not painful.

“Mr. Qin, the dumplings are ready. Weren’t you hungry?” Lin Xiangwan awkwardly reminded him.

This broke Qin Muchuan out of his reverie, and he slowly let go of her. “Sorry!”

“It’s alright!” Lin Xiangwan pointed to the dumplings on the coffee table. “I’m not a really good cook. If you don’t find it tasty, please bear with it!”

Whether it was because the dumplings were really delicious or Qin Muchuan was simply famished, he made quick work of the dumplings. Soon enough, the entire plateful of dumplings was emptied.

They had had their drinks and their meals. It was time for the visitor to leave!

When Xiangwan escorted him out, she thought to hand him a small flashlight. “Mr. Qin, it’s quite dark here and difficult to navigate your way.”

Qin Muchuan accepted it, the corner of his lips lifting in an inescapable smile.

Lin Xiangwan returned his smile, but she had no idea what he was smiling about.

“The developer’s quite awful, aren’t they?” he asked.

Lin Xiangwan scrunched her nose with a surge of resentment. “Even though he is your friend, I have to say he really is an evil capitalist. I curse that he has a child with no butthole!”

“Don’t say that!” Qin Muchuan interrupted.

“I hope that his wife bears a child that’s not his… um…”

Lin Xiangwan blinked in surprise, unable to believe where the man’s face was so close to —

God, where, exactly, had his lips landed?
