Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078

Mu Wan kept her beautiful eyes lowered... without saying much... her small hand clenched tightly, silently pondering how she should answer Qin Mu’s question.

She... absolutely couldn’t tell Qin Mu.

The senior who played basketball, it was him, wasn’t it?

Mu Wan pursed her lips, and after a long while, she spoke with difficulty: "Well... it’s just... a senior... he’s pretty good at playing basketball, always, not some celebrity, just a very ordinary person. Even if I mentioned his name, you might not know him."

"Mu Wan, stop pretending to be foolish. You clearly know what I’m asking about, don’t you?"

The atmosphere froze into ice all of a sudden.

Mu Wan looked at the man pressing down on her, took a deep breath, her nervous little hand clenched into a fist, trying to say something, but felt a severe dryness in her throat, not knowing what to say.

"Mu Wan, do you love him?"

Summoning her courage, Mu Wan lifted her eyes directly to look at the man in front of her, her gaze touching the man’s handsome face, her small hand tightened, every time she faced Qin Mu, her heart always fluttered like a deer.

That feeling... almost seemed to swallow her whole.

"I... love him very, very much."

After saying those words, Mu Wan felt she had expended a tremendous amount of courage.

Qin Mu’s lips curled into a smirk, then he mocked, "Yes, love him... enough to abandon your life for his sketches."

Mu Wan pursed her lips. Qin Mu, do you ever realize that this man... is you.

"But, Mu Wan, your love is really cheap... loving a man in your heart, yet marrying me for the title of the Qin Family’s young mistress..."

Pausing, Qin Mu’s ominous words continued to echo in her ears.

"Even going so far as... maintaining the position of the Qin Family’s young mistress... by compromising under me... during the ovulation period each month... sleeping with me..."

The man’s gaze was as deadly as murder, and his words were utterly ruthless.

Listening to his words, Mu Wan felt her heart race wildly with fright, and after a long pause, murmured in response, "Hmm... exactly."

Qin Mu reserved all his gentleness for Jian Ran.

All the cruelty... the harshness was left to her.

The man’s earlier words... were all aimed at ridiculing her.

Causing her heart to cool down bit by bit.

"But... Qin Mu... aren’t you the same? Every month from the 10th to the 20th, no matter how much you don’t love me, you still come to the newlywed villa for the sake of a child."

Mu Wan rarely fought back... unless she was truly at her limit.

The woman’s beautiful eyes were very cold, at this moment, her face pale, staring at him... full of sarcasm.

This woman really thought she was justified.

Clearly married to him to become the Qin wife, yet still pining for another man, a great insult to him as a man.

Qin Mu’s black eyes turned icy cold, his large hand gripped Mu Wan’s slender wrist tightly, and he shouted harshly.

The man called her name, almost squeezing it through his gritted teeth.

Feeling the man’s rage and the tremendous force with which he gripped her wrist, almost as if to crush it.

Mu Wan winced in pain...
