When Cheng Che entered Mu Chen’s office, he saw Mu Chen staring at the computer in a daze. He called out, “Brother?”
Mu Chen shifted his gaze away from the computer to Cheng Che. “You’re here…”
Cheng Che moved to stand behind Mu Chen and asked, “What are you looking at?” When his gaze fell on the computer screen, he asked in confusion, “Isn’t this the surveillance video from the hospital on the day it caught fire? Where did you find this? Why are you looking at it?”
The surveillance video showed Mu Chen rushing out from the sea of fire with Song Ning in his arms at this moment. Song Ning could be seen hugging Mu Chen tightly as she pressed herself against his body.
Cheng Che smiled and said, “Oh? Brother, don’t tell you’re hiding here to watch this sweet video of you and sister-in-law? Is this necessary? Both of you can be considered an…”
Cheng Che was about to say ‘old couple’ when he trailed off. He noticed that Mu Chen’s expression was gloomy. His smile vanished as he asked solemnly, “Brother, what’s wrong?”
After a long while, Mu Chen finally asked, “Cheng Che, don’t you think Song Ning is a little strange after giving birth?”
Cheng Che was confused. He scratched his head and said, “Strange? How? However, now that you mentioned it… There are some changes…” Then, he looked at Mu Chen and continued to say, “However, Brother, Jiahui has said that after a woman gives birth, her mood will be unstable. Jiahui’s a doctor so you can trust her words. Sister-in-law is a doctor as well so you have to trust her as well…”
Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che silently.
The two men looked at each other for a moment. They grew up together and spent most of their time together. All they needed was a look to understand each other’s thoughts.
After a while, Mu Chen asked, “What changes have you noticed?”
Cheng Che froze before he mumbled, “Sister-in-law… Sister-in-law seems to, um, dislike me…” When he saw Mu Chen looking at him, waiting for him to continue speaking, he gritted his teeth and continued to say, “Sister-in-law used to treat me very well. During the weekends, she’ll send someone to deliver food to me. She also cared a lot about my daily living. Previously, all these matters were taken care of by the helpers, but she had given them detailed instructions when it comes to my food, clothes, house, and other things…”
Mu Chen gestured for Cheng Che to take a seat.
After Cheng Che sat down, he said, “Sister-in-law would make nutritious soup for me because she was worried I’d exhaust myself at work. However, now, she doesn’t do all those things anymore. I think she’s probably busy taking care of the baby. However… it seems like she doesn’t take care of the baby much as well. Instead, it seems like all she cares about is you; she only has eyes for you…”
Mu Chen’s expression did not change as he gestured for Cheng Che to continue.
Cheng Che made himself comfortable as he organized his thoughts. He was no longer cautious with his words as he revealed his thoughts honestly. “Sister-in-law used to care about Grandma’s health a lot. She would check Grandma’s pulse in the morning and at night. She’d also arranged Grandma’s activities and diet. Although Grandma kept saying she doesn’t have any freedom, since sister-in-law came, there’s no denying Grandma’s health has gotten better. It’s really all thanks to sister-in-law. However, recently, I’ve never seen her checking Grandma’s pulse. I don’t know if it has anything to do with her giving birth so I didn’t dare to ask…”
Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen, feeling slightly discomfited. After all, he was speaking ill of his sister-in-law. If it was before, he would have been kicked out of the office by Mu Chen. However, Mu Chen did not react at all now. With his intelligence, how could he not tell that something was amiss by now? He asked, “Brother, what’s wrong?”
When Mu Chen did not reply, Cheng Che tried to comfort him. “I think sister-in-law is very good to you now. She clings to you more, and she’s always thinking of you…”
Inwardly, Cheng Che wondered why Mu Chen was still unhappy.. His brother had always gotten jealous whenever his sister-in-law showed concern to other people. Should he not be happy now that his wife only had eyes for him?
