Ye Xin’s smile was very bright and beautiful.

Mu Qing smiled and reached out to pull her up. After she was seated next to him, he began to brew the tea.

As though reminded by something, Ye Xin tightened her grip on Mu Qing’s hand and asked with a pout, “Can you teach me how to brew tea?”

Mu Qing paused for a moment before he said with a smile, “With your temperament, how can you sit still and learn these things?”

Ye Xin bit her bottom lip before she said, “But you taught Liang Zhou!”

Realization dawned on Mu Qing, and he could not help but smile. “I taught Liang Zhou so she can accompany my mother often. She won’t be able to enter the Mu family for the rest of her life so it’s a big regret for her.”

Ye Xin lowered her head and did not say anything.”

He let her sit beside him and made tea for her like flowing water.

The smile on Ye Xin’s face froze.

She pressed down on Mu Qing’s hand. “Can you teach me how to make Tea Too?”

She pouted angrily.

Mu Qing paused and smiled. “With your personality, how can you sit still and learn these things?”

Ye Xin bit her lip. “But you taught Liang Zhou!”

Mu Qing finally understood and couldn’t help but smile. “I let Liang Zhou learn so that she can often accompany the old lady. She Won’t be able to enter the MU family for the rest of her life. It’s also a regret for her.”

Ye Xin lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

After pouring Ye Xin a cup of tea, he smiled when he saw her sullen expression. “What? Are you jealous of Liang Zhou?”

Ye Xin nodded very seriously. “Yes. Seeing how kind and gentle you were to her makes my heart uncomfortable.”

Mu Qing gestured for Ye Xin to drink the tea before he said, “Liang Zhou has been with me for more than ten years. It hasn’t been easy for her as well. Moreover, I have the reputation of forsaking everything for love. With this, it’s easy for me to make others lower their guards against me. Liang Zhou is an indispensable chess piece. As long as she’s around, the Mu family won’t suspect me. Do you understand?”

Ye Xin nodded reluctantly. “However, I’m still unhappy. You have to teach me how to brew tea..”

Mu Qing’s tone remained gentle as he said, “It’s not a problem for me to teach you. However, you have to remember that in the future, I will often send Liang Zhou to accompany my mother. My mother will definitely ask her to accompany you as well. You can be unenthusiastic toward her, but you can’t speak rudely.”

Mu Qing explained slowly, “Song Ning has always alienated Liang Zhou because Liang Zhen was her mentor. It’s destined that she won’t have any warm feelings toward Liang Zhou. However, no matter what, Liang Zhou is still an elder and she is Mu Chen’s biological aunt. Hence, Song Ning was never disrespectful toward her. Do you understand?”

“Then, it means I can’t be friendly with you, right?” Ye Xin asked.

Mu Qing nodded. “Do you understand now?”

Ye Xin bit her bottom lip again before she asked, “Then, the other day… did I do something wrong?”

Mu Qing nodded solemnly. “Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xin grew anxious. “Why didn’t you give me a hint then?”

Mu Qing shook his head. “My mother is very shrewd. If I’d done anything out of place at that time, she’d definitely notice it. We have to act as naturally as possible. After I left, did she say anything to you?”

Ye Xin shook her head. “After you left, she went to the baby in a hurry. Currently, she only has the baby in her heart. She can’t even bear to part with him for a moment. She doesn’t have the time to care about anything else…”

After a moment, she added, “However, she treats me very well. Although she was very kind to me in the past when I visited, there’s still a sense of alienation. However, she really treats Song Ning like her biological granddaughter. In fact, she treats Song Ning better than Mu Chen and Cheng Che…”

Mu Qing nodded. “That’s right. She has always been like this.”

In the past, Jiang Jin had always scolded him because of Liang Zhen. She had treated Liang Zhen very well so Liang Zhen was completely devoted to her.

In terms of winning people’s hearts, he had always believed that there was no one better than his mother. Obtaining people’s hearts was a very difficult thing to do. Those who could win people’s hearts could win the world.. In this regard, he still needed to learn from his mother.
