Chapter 274


    Muyu was inexpressibly gloomy, but she asked Muqing inquisitively, "Muqing, how did you meet


    Chu Feng anyway? Come on, spill the dirt. I want to know."


    "What are you talking about, suddenly calling him your brother-inw? Both of us are just


    pretending to be husband and wife, that’s all. I’ve told you countless times already."


    Muqing eyed Muyu rather exasperatedly. However, this set her thinking.


    How had shee to meet Chu Feng anyway?


    In truth, it was all rather peculiar. He seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and showed up in


    the lives of herself and her daughter. Furthermore, whenever they encountered danger or problems,


    he was always there like a superhero from the movies, helping them take care of things.


    Later on, after Duo Duo had mistaken Chu Feng for her actual father, he had not corrected her


    either, and all three of them had muddled along with their lives until now.

    At this point, Muqing suddenly became aware that Chu Feng had taken up a decisive role in her


    daily affairs and her heart. It was as if he had be an essential part of her life.


    She could not imagine what she and Duo Duo''s lives would be like if, one day, Chu Feng suddenly


    left.


    Strangely enough, this thought caused her a touch of panic, as well as a sense of loss and


    heartache.


    Muyu listened to all of this. At the end of Muqing’s narrative, she cupped her chin and slewed her


    eyes. "When you put it like that, Brother-inw’s sudden appearance does seem to be a little odd. It


    defies logic.


    Not only that, even if you''re pretending to be husband and wife, surely he can''t be doing all of these


    things for you, just for that measly sry. Does he seem to you like someone who needs money?"


    How could someone who casually purchased Haitang Garden Mansion need money? It was worth


    at least 500 million yuan.


    Right as Muqing suddenly felt anxious, Muyu smote her thigh and dered in excitement, "Muqing,


    I’ve got it!


    "My amazingly powerful brain has deduced that Chu Feng is actually Duo Duo’s real father. He’s the


    man you met five years ago at that bar!"


    "What?!"


    Muqing waspletely stunned by this statement. Involuntarily, she sat up straight and gave the


    matter some thought. "No, that’s not possible. If he were Duo Duo’s father, he’d have acknowledged


    that ages ago. Why would he hide it from me for this long?"


    "He feels guilty!"


    Muyu had hit the nail on the head. Like Sherlock Holmes, she exined her reasoning perfectly


    logically. "Think about it, five years ago he spent a night with you and just vanished from your life.


    All this time, he’s never been a father to Duo Duo or a proper husband to you. How could he not feel


    guilty or ashamed?


    "He''d feel it more, especially since you gave birth to his daughter and got chased out of your home


    because of it. For thest five years, you''ve been working yourself to death just to make a life for


    yourself and Duo Duo. As a man, how could he possibly acknowledge who he is after abandoning


    you like that?


    "That''s why the only thing he can do is keep close and guard you both. He wants to shelter and


    protect you to atone for his failures and shame. When the time is right, he''ll disclose his identity to


    you."


    If Chu Feng had been present, he would have been utterly stunned and even broken into a cold


    sweat in admiration of Muyu’s acumen!


    What she said happened to be the exact truth!


    Muqing froze. She frowned slightly, and her lovely face turned serious as she recalled how she had


    firste into contact with Chu Feng, and all her subsequent interactions with him.


    It had to be said that his stammering awkwardness at their first meeting was rather suspect. He


    seemed to have a great deal that he wished to say, but did not have the courage to verbalize it.


    Furthermore, this had happened several times. Logically speaking, a man like him, who was so


    resolute, open, and aboveboard, could never be so hesitant and indecisive, or so inarticte…


    Could it actually be him?


    Muqing felt a slight headacheing on. She drew a deep breath, maintaining herposure.


    "Muyu, all of this is merely what you’vee up with on your own. There’s no proof, so it’s best not


    to speak of it."


    "Who says there’s no proof? Let me tell you, I’ve binged on so many shows thest few days and


    caught up on so many sses. That’s what happens in all these series!" Muyu stated confidently.


    Muqing’s eyes widened. In exasperation, she eximed, "You mean your entire hodgepodge of


    deductions is based on fictional and unreliable TV shows?"


    "What do you mean, unreliable and fictional? Don’t you know that art imitates life? All these shows


    are really good. I suggest you go watch some yourself." Muyu pouted slightly, then grinned and


    gleefully handed Muqing her iPad.


    Muqing randomly swiped past the synopses of some of the shows, and her gaze straight away fell


    on the following summaries.


    "A romance between an overbearingpany chairman and a bubble tea shop girl?"


    "They were in love for so many years, only to discover they were biological brother and sister?"


    "She had just been in a car ident and was recently diagnosed with cancer. Then she


    encountered a time-traveling alien, and they fell in love?"
