Chapter 11: Don’t Even Think About Having a Good Time

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Wanwan was stunned. She glared angrily at Mu Qiannian. “Don’t be too arrogant. Do you think you can defeat me like this? Mom said that she would help me think of a way. Just you wait. As long as I regain my identity, don’t even think of having a good time!”

Mu Qiannian’s gaze turned cold. She reached out and took out a fruit knife from the entry counter.

She held Mu Wanwan’s chin and asked in a low voice, “How do you want me to have a hard time?”

Mu Wanwan felt a chill on her neck and trembled in fear..

“What-what are you doing? You can’t kill me. If you kill me, my parents will kill you.”

Mu Qiannian asked nonchalantly, “Do you think I’m afraid of them?”

Mu Wanwan’s heart went cold. Her terrified gaze fell on Mu Qiannian’s unscrupulous face.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. I know I’m wrong.”

Mu Qiannian saw the fear on Mu Wanwan’s face and sneered in disdain. When Mu Wanwan was not paying attention, she secretly stuffed something in her hand onto Mu Wanwan’s body.

Mu Qiannian showed a satisfied expression as Mu Wanwan begged for mercy. She looked down at Mu Wanwan and warned her in a cold voice.

“I’m warning you one last time. If you don’t behave yourself, be careful of your face, the face you’re so proud of!”

After saying that, Mu Qiannian removed the fruit knife from Mu Wanwan’s neck. Mu Wanwan ran away in a panic as she found an opening.

Looking at her retreating figure, Mu Qiannian smiled smugly.

She took out her phone from her pocket and sent a message to Eighth Brother.

“Erase the surveillance camera footage at my door now.”

On the other side, her Eighth Brother replied almost instantly, “Roger that!”

The last message was ‘good morning, boss!’

Mu Qiannian’s gaze remained on the sentence ‘good morning, boss’ as she laughed softly.

The sound of footsteps could be heard behind her. It should be Pei Mingchen who had gotten up.

Mu Qiannian turned off the screen of her phone and turned around to see Pei Mingchen walking toward her.

“I’m sorry, did I disturb you?”

Pei Mingchen nodded, but he quickly shook his head. “It’s not you. It’s that noisy woman just now. She’s really noisy.”

Mu Qiannian nodded in agreement. “She’s really loud.”

Pei Mingchen stood by her side and stared at her face with a troubled gaze. He asked in puzzlement, “You were so familiar with the movement of pressing against her neck just now… Did you practice it?”

Mu Qiannian panicked and made up a story without thinking. “I didn’t practice it. It was just a subconscious reaction. When people are in danger, aren’t they able to quickly defend themselves? I was just defending myself.”

Pei Mingchen did not doubt Mu Qiannian’s words and nodded as if he believed her.

When Mu Qiannian saw that he believed her story, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Mu Qiannian’s heart softened when she saw that Pei Mingchen trusted her so easily.

She asked a little embarrassedly, “Was I too fierce just now? Actually, I’m not usually like that.”

Mu Qiannian, who was a little shy, lowered her eyes in embarrassment at this moment. Her beautiful and eye-catching little face was exceptionally beautiful, causing Pei Mingchen’s heart to beat wildly.

Recently, Pei Mingchen had been having an inexplicable urge toward Niannian.

That urge made him want to do something out of line with Niannian, but he could not.

Pei Mingchen was lost in his thoughts and did not reply. Mu Qiannian raised her head in confusion and bumped into Pei Mingchen’s dark eyes.

She could clearly see her own silhouette from Pei Mingchen’s pupils.

The two of them stared at each other quietly for a long time. When Pei Mingchen knew that Mu Qiannian had returned to her senses, he covered his lips awkwardly and coughed twice. Only then did he reluctantly hide the thick emotions in his eyes.

When Mu Qiannian saw the light coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she quickly walked over and lifted the curtains. The dazzling morning light shone in.

It should be around six to seven now. She could not continue sleeping, so her gaze fell on Pei Mingchen who was following closely behind her. “Do you want to eat breakfast?”

Pei Mingchen nodded. Mu Qiannian cooked again. This time, she took the initiative to pass the apron to Pei Mingchen.

Pei Mingchen was delighted. He was greatly encouraged and helped her put on the apron. The smile on his face was exceptionally bright and radiant.

Mu Qiannian’s heart thumped again when she saw the unconcealed emotions on his face.

This person was too different from his previous life. It could be said that he was a very familiar person.

However, when she had to go through everything all again, why was he so unfamiliar yet she could not help but want to get close to him?

Mu Qiannian went to the fridge and found that there were still a lot of dishes that she had not used up the night before.

Mu Qiannian quickly scanned through them and took out two preserved eggs and a piece of lean meat. She made a preserved egg and lean meat porridge for two people.

Pei Mingchen came out of the bathroom when he smelled it. His eyes were bright as he stared at her.

Mu Qiannian seemed to be able to read his gaze. She asked, “You like preserved egg and lean meat porridge, don’t you?”

Pei Mingchen nodded his head vigorously and Mu Qiannian smiled.

Actually, she had just remembered that in her previous life, Pei Mingchen had always eaten the preserved egg and lean meat porridge from the breakfast shop downstairs.

Although she could not be sure that Pei Mingchen liked to eat this, she still made this.

Looking at Pei Mingchen’s bright, big eyes, Mu Qiannian secretly noted down his likings.

In the future, she had to make more for him to eat. Of course, he could not just eat this. Looking at how thin he was and barely had a few ounces of meat on him, she had to make sure he got enough nutrients.

After the porridge was ready, Pei Mingchen impatiently set the bowls and chopsticks and sat quietly at the dining table.

Mu Qiannian placed the casserole filled with porridge on the table and went back to the stove to take off the apron.

When she returned to her seat, she saw that the two bowls in front of her had already been filled with porridge.

She then turned to look at Pei Mingchen. The person who had said earlier that he liked preserved egg and lean meat porridge was currently sitting upright and staring at her.

His meaning was obvious. He was only willing to start eating after she had taken her seat.

This kind of table manners surprised Mu Qiannian.

After Mu Qiannian sat down, she picked up the spoon and said as if she was chatting, “Your table manners are very good.” Her mind was filled with other thoughts. She paused for a moment and continued, “You are also very good in other aspects. I don’t think the Chen family taught you that, right?”

Pei Mingchen’s hand that was eating the porridge paused. He did not expect Mu Qiannian to ask him this question at this time.

He thought about it and decided that it was not a serious question that would reveal any secrets, so he nodded.

Pei Mingchen’s tone was a little heavy as he said, “When I was young, I watched TV and went to school. Someone once told me that only children who have good morals and are good at studying can be praised by adults. My family doesn’t like me. When I was young, I wanted them to like me a little more…”

it was just two or three sentences, but he sounded pitiful.

After saying that, Pei Mingchen did not seem like he wanted to continue talking about this topic with Mu Qiannian. He said casually, “The porridge you cooked is very delicious. It’s even better than the breakfast shop downstairs.”

Mu Qiannian was caught off guard by this compliment as Pei Mingchen successfully changed the topic. She then smiled and said, “Since you think it’s delicious, I’ll cook it for you often from now on.”

Pei Mingchen’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Of course.” Mu Qiannian nodded. Her expression was unusually serious and did not allow any teasing. Then, she glanced at Pei Mingchen with a smile and said in a teasing tone, “Behave yourself. Don’t look at me like you’re falling in love with me.”
