Rong Heting put down the soup helplessly and poured himself another cup of tea.
"No more soup. Qianqian, don't be afraid. Come here."
Mu Qianqian took a few steps back, almost leaning against the wall as she retreated to the corner.
Rong Heting coaxed patiently, "Didn't you say that the soup was greasy? "Drink this tea first. Maid Lee finally made it for you, and you don't want to waste the fruits of her hard work, right?"
Mu Qianqian shook her head and said in a weak voice, "It's not like I was the one to cook it. Who's the one to drink it!"
"How dare you!"
Rong Heting's forehead twitched. He really wanted to grab the disobedient little thing and pour the tea and soup in.
He forced himself not to do anything, but the action of putting down the bowl of tea still carried a sense of hostility.
In fact, he was frustrated. Why was it that even after working so hard for so long, he still couldn't remove Lil Thing's resistance towards him? Yet, Ling Ao was able to coax Qianqian to smile sincerely at him just by looking at her.
Before this, no matter how much he punished her, he didn't want to take her life. But every time, Ling Ao would try to kill her, and the one who got sent to hell by Mu Qianqian was him, Rong Heting!
Rong Heting knew that Ling Ao's attitude toward Mu Qianqian had changed since he woke up. Even if he couldn't get out of bed because of his injuries, he had his trusted aide go out and prepare the supplies for Qianqian. He brought them directly to the kitchen and ordered his men to ask Ting Lan for Qianqian's hair, which had been scattered on the bed.
If Rong Heting still couldn't guess Ling Ao's thoughts, then he really shouldn't be the Patriarch of Rong Family anymore.
Actually, he was even more puzzled than Ling Ao because Ling Ao and the others had no idea that Mu Qianqian's birthday was actually the same day as Ling Jinghan's!
The people outside did not know, but they all understood why Ling Yu would choose Ling Jinghan at the orphanage to be Ling Family's adopted daughter.
It was simply because her birthday was the same day as Ling Ao's missing sister and Mrs Nuowen had almost gone crazy from losing her daughter that Ling Ao's father had no choice but to come up with this plan.
Because of this, when Ling Jinghan appeared in front of Mrs Nuowen as her adopted daughter, Mrs Nuowen gave all her love to Ling Jinghan from then on.
Now, not only was his little thing similar in blood type and age to Ling Ao's missing sister, but it was also the same birthday as the child from back then. How could they not suspect it?
Rong Heting wished more than anyone that Qianqian was Mrs Nuowen's child. That way, he could reasonably marry Qianqian and take her for himself.
However, the result he got back from the hospital was exactly the opposite. Qianqian and Mu Shen were actually twins. The birth certificate he collected twenty years ago also showed her relationship with Mu Shen's brother and sister.
The doctor and nurse who were responsible for taking care of Mu Shen and Mu Qianqian were also found. Even though there were many years between the two of them, since the birth was a rare dragon and phoenix birth, they were able to confirm their relationship.
Rong Heting gathered his thoughts and suppressed the disappointment in his eyes.
Forget it, so what if Qianqian wasn't someone from the Ling Family? Him wanting to break off the engagement with Ling Jinghan was just a slight effort, and the person that he, Rong Heting, wanted, wasn't someone that anyone could control.
"Come here."
His gaze once again fell on Mu Qianqian who was hiding at the corner of the wall. Rong Heting's tone became calmer, but Mu Qianqian could clearly feel that she had angered Rong Heting again.
"Qianqian, don't wait for me to catch you. Now, it's to calm my nerves, drink a bowl of soup, and wait for me to come over. Then we can drink two bowls at the same time."
Two bowls filled with different liquids were placed on the table in front of Rong Heting, waiting for Mu Qianqian's decision.
Knowing that she couldn't escape, Mu Qianqian met Rong Heting's deep gaze and forced herself to calm down. Her stomach was already starting to hurt from the nervousness, but she still walked out from the corner of the wall.
It was because she was afraid of Rong Heting. The moment the man's eyes darkened, she was subconsciously scared. Except that she was too nervous that day at Ling Jinghan's dinner party playing the zither in front of everyone and forgot to be scared, her first reaction was to run.
Even though she had scared him and pretended to be scared when she was in the flower room due to Rong Heting's care for the past few days, she was really scared now.
Before Mu Qianqian could finish walking to the table, Rong Heting pulled her back into his arms.
"You ran out from my arms while I was carrying the soup. Now you have to come back obediently. Stop wasting time on me in the future!"
Mu Qianqian nodded with tears in her eyes, allowing the man to wrap his arms around her.
Rong Heting slowed down his tone and raised his chin towards the table, "Which one do you want to drink?"
"I'll drink tea."
Tea is better than soup. Mu Qianqian's mind was not idle either. She thought about it and made a choice. However, Rong Heting had already made his decision.
"Tea is used to calm people down, but from what I can see, you can't calm your emotions at the moment. The effect won't be obvious even if you drink it. It's better to drink the soup to replenish the vital energy and blood in your body."
With that, Rong Heting picked up the bowl of soup and brought it directly to Mu Qianqian's mouth.
"It's not that I'm forcing you to drink it, I'll get Bai Sheng to make a few more recipes for the soup tomorrow. We'll have another drink in the future, but today, huh?"
Rong Heting lowered his head and pecked Mu Qianqian on her lips, then finally softened his attitude. "Qianqian, you know your body well. It's been a long time since you've been here."
Mu Qianqian had never thought about her own matters, moreover, they were her most private ones. Only after Rong Heting said so did she realize that she hadn't been here for a long time.
"You are still young now, and we are not in a hurry to have children, but I will need an heir sooner or later. You have to be obedient, and take care of yourself for a few years."
If the words from before made Mu Qianqian feel embarrassed and shy, then Rong Heting's last sentence shocked Mu Qianqian.
She had never thought about her child. Even if she had overheard the conversation between Ting Lan and Rong Heting and knew that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant, although she was sad at the time, too many things had happened and her energy was no longer on this matter.
Thinking about that time when Rong Heting came back from work to pick her up from the company's lab, that man also seemed to have said something about having her give birth to a child for him. At that time, she only thought that Rong Heting said that casually.
"You want me to give you a baby?"
