Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1922 - 1926: Three Feet of Ice Does Not Form in a Day

Muu Rushuang has asthma and suffers an attack every time she cries.

His wife felt for Muu Rushuang and discussed with him that since Muu Rushuang is young and doesn’t understand things, and her body is frail, if she keeps crying like this, something bad might happen. She suggested it would be better to send Muu Qingwan back to China first, so his parents could help take care of him for a couple of years. Once Muu Rushuang grows up a bit and becomes more sensible, they could bring Muu Qingwan back.

He agreed.

Since then, he returns to China once a year to bring Muu Qingwan abroad.

Every time Muu Qingwan stays with them for just a few days, Muu Rushuang would cry and have an asthma attack, ending up in the hospital.

His wife would then cry and beg him to send Muu Qingwan back to China.

He and Yang Jiezhen both thought that once Muu Rushuang grew older and more sensible, she wouldn’t cry out of jealousy of Muu Qingwan.

And wouldn’t cry and have an asthma attack because of their concern for Muu Qingwan.

But they were wrong.

Clearly, both were daughters of him and Yang Jiezhen, yet Muu Rushuang’s looks were much inferior to Muu Qingwan’s.

As she grew a few years older, Muu Rushuang understood what beauty was and what ugliness was.

She realized that her sister was ten times, a hundred times prettier than her, and she was insanely jealous of Muu Qingwan.

The sisters would start arguing as soon as they met, like enemies.

Again and again, he brought Muu Qingwan back to his side, but under the double assault of Muu Rushuang’s asthma and his wife’s tears, he compromised time and time again and sent Muu Qingwan back to China.

Two years old.

Five years old.

Ten years old.

Twelve years old...

Time and time again.

Finally, after turning fifteen, Muu Qingwan refused to go abroad with them anymore.

Every year, he would set aside half a month to bring his wife and children to visit his parents in China.

Each year, he could only spend half a month with his younger daughter.

When Muu Qingwan was fifteen, Muu Rushuang was eighteen.

An eighteen-year-old girl should be sensible.

He prepared Muu Rushuang’s mindset and told Muu Qingwan that he wanted to take her abroad. This time, her sister surely wouldn’t quarrel with her and cry to the point of having an asthma attack.

But Muu Qingwan already refused to go with him.

Looking at the cold and distant look in his daughter’s eyes, his heart ached like it was being cut with a knife.

More than ten years, fleeting in the blink of an eye.

In places he couldn’t see, his younger daughter had grown into a slender young girl, as dazzling and tender as a dewy rose blooming in the morning.

She had grown into the most beautiful image of a young woman, but in her heart, there was no room for him as her father anymore.

He was heartbroken, yet helpless.

After he and Yang Jiezhen had a son and a daughter, Muu Rushuang’s asthma took up most of their energy.

After Muu Rushuang was born, they originally didn’t intend to have more children, Muu Qingwan was conceived unexpectedly.

If not for Yang Jiezhen’s physical condition forbidding it, they had originally planned to abort the child.

Later, when they went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that Yang Jiezhen’s physical condition was not suitable for abortion.

Helplessly, he and his wife decided to keep the child.

After Muu Qingwan was born, his wife’s attention was still focused on Muu Rushuang, leaving little time to care for Muu Qingwan.

Muu Qingwan was raised by his parents and a nanny.

The whole family immigrated, leaving only Muu Qingwan in China, where his parents looked after her as she grew up.

For this child, he and Yang Jiezhen were merely donors of a sperm and an egg, letting her be carried to term in Yang Jiezhen’s womb.

Apart from that, they gave nothing more.

He knew that Muu Qingwan had no feelings for them.

His parents knew this too.

Precisely because of this, his parents specially arranged this trip for their whole family, hoping they could ease the tension in their relationship.
