Chapter 368: Don't touch them

Mu Shuchun saw Shin entering the living area. Her heart raced faster as she saw his tall and lean body, walking gracefully towards them.

“Shin. Look, it’s Mu Shuchun. Your university friend.” Liang Xiao Dan happily exclaimed.

Liang Zou reprimanded him. “Idiot, son. She came back to Beijing, and you didn’t even tell us. We would have called her sooner for lunch!”

Outwardly, Shin maintained his smile and composure, but inwardly, a volcano was about to erupt.

“Shin…” she softly called out his name, but it just made Shin even angrier.

“Mu Shuchun.”

Her eyes dimmed a bit when he called her by her full name.

“Huh? Since when did you start calling her by her full name?” Liang Zou asked.

He didn’t respond.

Liang Xiao Dan asked, “So Shuchun, dear. I saw you model in many commercials. Really… you are such a hard-working child.”

Mu Shuchun smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s my job, after all.”

“I remember Shin, and you were such good friends. But then you both suddenly broke all contact.”

Mu Shuchun stiffened.

Shin sneered. “Yes. Mu Shuchun. Why don’t you tell them about it?”

Mu Shuchun had an urge to cry.

She couldn’t believe that he wanted to embarrass her in front of his parents.

How could she tell them the reason for their lost contact?

Mu Shuchun awkwardly smiled. “It’s just that I got some modeling offers back to back, so I got busy in them. It was the starting phase of my career, so…”

They nodded. “Oh, of course. Before you set a foothold in any industry, the initial days are always busy and hectic.”

Shin said nothing.

Liang Xiao Dan sighed. “Actually…” she eyed both of them carefully. “I always thought that you two would surely get into a relationship one day.”

Shin and Mu Shuchun froze.

“You were such good friends, so…”

Before she could say anything, Shin smiled. “It is not necessary that all good friends must fall for each other like you and Dad.”

Liang Xiao Dan coughed. She glared at Liang Zou.

Liang Zou felt wronged.

What did I do now?

Liang Xiao Dan observed Mu Shuchun’s expression and felt that she seemed a bit pale. There was a tinge of sadness that she could detect in her eyes.

My instinct is right. She likes Shin.

But she didn’t understand why Shin didn’t feel the same. After all, they were really close during that time.

Mu Shuchun asked, “I will just come back from the restroom.”

“Sure dear.” Liang Xiao Dan looked at her son. “Shin. Why don’t you show her the way?”

Shin didn’t want to but…

“…Hm.”

As they left, Liang Xiao Dan said, “Shuchun definitely likes Shin.”

Liang Zou nodded. “I felt it too.”

“Should we talk to Shin about it? They will make such a nice couple.”

“But didn’t he clear his feelings just now?”

Liang Xiao Dan thought about it. “I know. But let’s talk about it once more.”

Shin showed Mu Shuchun the way to the restroom.

“Shin…”

“Why the hell did you come here?” Shin was furious and impatient.

“Shin, I just wanted to meet Uncle and Aunt.”

“Heh. Do you want to meet them, or is it an excuse to see me?”

Mu Shuchun bit her lip. Tears rimmed her eyes. “Shin. Please don’t hate me so much. It hurts me.”

Shin laughed. “Then do you realize how much was I hurt to know that my child was gone? Compared to that, what you are suffering is nothing.”

“Shin-“

“Just get done with it and get out of here.” He coldly said.

Shin said nothing more and stomped out.

Mu Shuchun dug her nails in her palm. She was trembling. Tears threatened to come out.

Shin. Will you be never let it go? Will you never give me one chance again?

—

Five minutes later, when Mu Shuchun was about to return, her glance fell on a room whose door was slightly ajar. From there, she saw a crib. She peeked a bit more and saw that there were two babies in it.

Mu Shuchun blinked her eyes.

Babies? Whose babies are they?

Then she remembered that the Liang family was reunited with their long lost daughter. Liang Zou had introduced her as his daughter and Liang family’s heiress in his birthday banquet. She faintly recalled that she was pregnant at that time.

That daughter means…Shin’s sister. They must be her children.

I think her name is Nana…

Curious, Mu Shuchun opened the door and stepped in. She didn’t see anybody inside.

Strange. Are the babies just alone here? Is nobody here to look after them?

She frowned.

“Aboo…”

The baby’s gurgle snapped Mu Shuchun back. She walked over to the crib and saw two identical twins resting in it.

Mu Shuchun couldn’t believe her eyes.

Gosh, they are so adorable…

They looked so tiny and chubby. She realized that both of them were going to be the most handsome bachelors in the future.

Nian was still asleep while Jian was now awake.

At first he was playing with Nian, but he looked up when he felt someone’s presence. A smile bloomed on his face, and his eyes brightened on seeing Mu Shuchun.

He excitedly flailed his hand towards her. “Ba ba….baaaa…..”

The innocence and smile on his face took her breath away. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt very…emotional.

Mu Shuchun had a complicated expression on her face. She felt a strange sense of joy in her heart when Jian was smiling at her.

Unknowingly, Mu Shuchun’s own lips curled into a beautiful smile.

“Hey…” she whispered since Nian was still sleeping.

“Baaaa….booo….” Jian was now really excited.

Mu Shuchun chuckled. “You are so cute.”

As if he understood, Jian grinned even more.

Mu Shuchun widened her eyes. “You understood it?”

“aboo….”

Mu Shuchun suddenly felt an urge to touch him. But she wasn’t sure if it was proper to do that.

She bit her lips.

She hesitated for a moment. She slowly raised her hand and was about to touch his cheek when she heard an icy voice from behind.

“Don’t touch them.”
