Chapter 47: Peaceful and Warm

  Mù Xīng Chén sat quietly, watching his daughter sleep. In this relatively small space of the car compartment, he felt a sense of satisfaction and security that he had never experienced before. Having lost both parents at the age of ten, he lived in this wealthy and powerful family, where he received meticulous care from his grandparents, but the lack of paternal and maternal love in his heart could not be compensated by anything. It was precisely because of this reason that he developed a calm, tolerant, and somewhat cold personality. Everyone who knew him, familiar or unfamiliar, called him the "Iceberg Beauty".

  But fate plays tricks on people, and life is full of unexpected twists. Perhaps even he himself couldn't have anticipated that one day, he would encounter this Zhuo Mengjun on the road, which would change his life forever. This iceberg of a man encountering this fiery woman will erupt without warning.

  At this moment, Mu Liu didn't know that he had deeply fallen in love with the woman in front of him and couldn't extricate himself. Due to the lack of paternal and maternal love in his childhood, as well as multiple fights with his cousins, he still couldn't understand true love between men and women. Now, in his subconscious mind, he only knew that if he couldn't see this girl, his heart would be in disarray; but as long as he saw her, his heart would be extremely at peace, even if she scolded him.

  "No, no, Daddy, don't leave me!" Meng Jun, who was fast asleep, suddenly frowned and shouted out loud, stretching out her hands to grab at the air wildly.

  She must have had a nightmare, and in the dream, her father was in danger. Mu Xingchen's mind quickly came up with this sentence, and then he instinctively tightened his grip on her hand without thinking, saying softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't leave you, never will."

  His voice was so soft and gentle, and he deliberately made it sound older, he just hoped that his voice would sound more like her father's, never wanting to scare her even in her dreams.

  Perhaps it was really moved by his sincerity, Meng Jun gradually calmed down. She tightly grasped Mu Xingchen's hand, her tightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and a comforting smile spread to the corners of her lips.

  Her smile also brought out his heartfelt smile, and a sense of accomplishment arose. In addition to this, there was also a bit of triumphant joy from having successfully schemed. It turned out that this girl was quite good at pretending too!

  The smile on Liu Shao's face was really too rare to see, unfortunately, seeing this iceberg-like handsome man's smile was even harder than seeing a peacock spread its tail. His smile had never been seen by anyone except for his respected and beloved grandfather and grandmother. Only when facing Zhuo Mengjun, this seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary girl, did he have it. Unfortunately, our Mengjun miss was still in her dreams and didn't see it.

  But even if Meng Jun is now awake, how will she react to this ice mountain beauty's rare smile? Maybe it will only make our Mu Liu suffer and not be good for him.

  At this moment, Mu Xingchen also thought that it would be such a result, and he couldn't help but feel depressed again, looking left and right in the rearview mirror. Although Mu Xingchen had never paid much attention to his appearance and even felt that there was nothing to be proud of, after a thorough examination, he looked like a handsome man who was loved by everyone, and he was absolutely a noble gentleman with elegant manners, completely different from those arrogant and bullying young masters. But why didn't she seem to like him?

  "Mmm..." Meng Jun, who was in a deep sleep, hummed again, seemingly feeling that her previous posture was not very comfortable. She adjusted her position and turned her face to face Mu Xingchen directly. It's strange to say, when she was awake, Mu Xingchen looked like he was deeply hated, and she tried to avoid him as much as possible. But just now, in her dream, when she heard the bad news that her father was critically ill, it was clearly Mu Xingchen's warm hands that gave her a lot of warmth and security, allowing her to sleep peacefully.

  As she turned around, Mu Xingchen suddenly felt a little nervous. Rather than saying he was afraid that this girl would wake up and shout at him, it's better to say that he liked this warm and gentle atmosphere more. In this narrow, enclosed yet relatively peaceful and warm space, there was only him facing her, which made him forget the hustle and bustle of the world, forget the open and secret struggles with his cousins, forget the cunning and deception in business battles. There were only her and him, if it could go on like this, until the end of time, what a wonderful thing that would be...

  "Ah-choo!" The sound of Meng Jun's sneeze broke his pleasant daydream, and he hastily took his own coat from the back seat to cover her body. After some thought, he still felt it wasn't enough. Although it was early summer now, for some reason, a sudden strong north wind blew in this afternoon, probably bringing cold air from somewhere. Meng Jun was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt, and she couldn't resist the chill even more while sleeping.

  He finally decided to drive the car quickly to the hotel, which was run by the Mu family, and the 360-degree viewing room on the top floor of the hotel was a birthday gift from his grandfather when he turned twenty.
