Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 369 Divorce (1)

"This..."

Mi Jing was thoroughly embarrassed, thinking, is it really okay for them to discuss having children in front of everyone like this? Although Mu Hongwen isn’t exactly an outsider, he’s still an elder! Moreover, he’s a male elder!

"Xing’er, your sister-in-law twisted her waist. Go check on her." Just as Mi Jing was feeling a little at a loss, Mu Hongwen suddenly spoke, diverting Xing’er’s attention.

"Isn’t Dad upstairs?"

Xing’er wasn’t flustered or anxious, because Lan had already told her what had happened before she came downstairs, so she was mentally prepared.

"The family doctor hasn’t arrived yet. Call him and urge him." Faced with Xing’er’s question, Mu Hongwen calmly and coolly replied.

"Oh." With Mu Hongwen’s words, Xing’er didn’t think twice and walked over to the phone.

As Shen Xing’er walked away, Mi Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still warm. She couldn’t help but lift her hands to place her palms on her cheeks, trying to cool down.

This simple gesture attracted Mu Hongwen’s attention once again, making him pause and look at her involuntarily.

The old lady was playing with the child and seemed not to have paid attention to Mi Jing and the others’ conversation, but in fact, she had heard every word clearly. At this moment, she noticed Mu Hongwen’s heated gaze at Mi Jing, which was so intense that even Mrs. Zhou and Shen Xing’er, who was on the phone, noticed it. Only Mi Jing, still immersed in her embarrassment, was entirely oblivious.

Second Uncle is interested in her sister-in-law?

Love at first sight?

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, suddenly, Shen Xing’er’s hand holding the phone shook, startled by her own bold guess.

No way!

Shen Xing’er comforted herself, but looking at Mu Hongwen again, the fervent light in his eyes clearly was the look of someone gazing at their beloved. Besides, Second Uncle has always been calm and composed. Until today, she had always thought that there couldn’t exist a woman he would fancy because he was indifferent to not just Second Aunt but to all women outside the Mu Family!

But now, Mi Jing is the only exception!

How is that possible?

They’re so far apart in age that Second Uncle could practically be her father!

But...

The always indifferent and taciturn Second Uncle actually spoke up to help her sister-in-law moments ago!

Shen Xing’er slowly came to realize that Mu Hongwen might indeed have an unusual feeling toward Mi Jing.

Oh no, her brother might have one more rival now! And Second Uncle, whose rare infatuation is doomed to be fruitless, her brother being so outstanding and having a great relationship with his wife, no matter what, no third party could interfere.

Poor Second Uncle, finally fancying someone, only to find she’s a married woman.

The more she thought, the more pitiful she felt for Mu Hongwen, the earlier shock and surprise had dissipated, but she continued to be lost in her boundless imagination, unaware that the call had long been connected, the family doctor had shouted several times, and due to the lack of response, the call had been hung up.

"Xing’er, haven’t you finished the call?"

Seeing Shen Xing’er standing dazedly, the old lady frowned and asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing’er immediately snapped back to reality and instinctively said, "Finished."

"If you’ve finished, take Little King Kong out for a walk. Don’t keep staying indoors." The old lady reminded.

"Oh."

Shen Xing’er quickly put down the phone receiver and instantly understood the underlying meaning of the old lady’s words.

Soon, Shen Xing’er took the child from the old lady’s arms and then smiled at Mi Jing, "Sister-in-law, let’s go out for a walk."

"Sure." Mi Jing wasn’t really interested in watching the old lady and others play chess, so she readily agreed.

The April sunshine was soft and warm, and the flowers in the garden were blooming vibrantly. Mi Jing and Shen Xing’er took turns holding the child, admiring the flowers while chatting, and time passed quickly.

"Young Mistress, it’s lunchtime. The master asked you to bring the little master inside." Lan appeared once again in front of Shen Xing’er, having freshened up and changed into clean clothes, looking more energetic and adorable.

"Hmm, got it. You go in first." Shen Xing’er still wanted to talk alone with Mi Jing, so she held the child and stayed put, dismissing Lan with a nod.

Soon after Lan walked away, Shen Xing’er moved.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of my Second Uncle?" After much deliberation, Shen Xing’er finally asked the question she had been holding back.

"Second Uncle?" Mi Jing asked in confusion, "Which Second Uncle?"

Apart from Mu Bai, Mi Jing had only met Song Jialing and Su Aiping, so until now she didn’t know exactly how many members the Mu Family had, nor could she ascertain whether the elder playing chess with the old lady was Mu Bai’s uncle or another relative.

"The one who was playing chess with Grandma just now," Shen Xing’er said.

"Is he Mrs. Su’s husband?" Mi Jing couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Mm." Shen Xing’er nodded.

"Does he not get along well with Mrs. Su? I just saw he had a bad attitude towards her."

"Uh..."

Clearly, it was her asking her, but it had somehow turned the other way around. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Shen Xing’er hesitated for a moment, then spoke truthfully, "I’m not really clear about their situation. I just know Second Uncle has never really liked Second Aunt, and they once nearly divorced, but Second Aunt refused. So they just begrudgingly carried on."

Even if he doesn’t like her, as a man, it’s somewhat excessive to shout at his wife in front of outsiders!

Instantly, Mi Jing felt more pity for Su Aiping.

"Actually..."

Though Mi Jing didn’t voice her thoughts, as a fellow woman, how could Shen Xing’er not understand her? But every person has their own dilemmas, and as outsiders, they shouldn’t simply use their values to judge others!

"In fact, my Second Uncle is a pretty good person." Shen Xing’er couldn’t help but defend Mu Hongwen. In her eyes, it wasn’t his fault for not liking Su Aiping. He had always fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, diligently helped the Su Family, and never dallied with other women outside. Although he hadn’t given Su Aiping enough love, he respected her wish not to divorce. As for Su Aiping, she truly was pitiful, but her choice to maintain a loveless marriage meant inevitable unhappiness. So, in some sense, her misery was self-inflicted, and she couldn’t blame others.
