I don't want to be your wife.

"ACG songs, right? Is that what it's called?"

"That's what it's called, but actually it's not. I prefer singing Japanese pop and traditional Chinese style songs."

"Why? These two songs are quite different, why would you like two completely different musical styles?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Because it's a way to show off!" Su Mumu said proudly. "Because there are few people who can sing Japanese songs. Japanese is already a less common language, so there are even fewer people who can sing Japanese songs. It's the same with traditional Chinese style songs. Few people can sing the high notes of traditional opera. I'm one of those people who can sing those high notes, so naturally I like it."

"That's a really simple and crude reason," Qin Feng said speechlessly.

"So, conversely, I dislike Chinese pop songs the most, especially Jay Chou's songs, because his songs are too popular. You can ask any kid on the street to sing his songs, and anyone can sing them, so it's hard for them to be amazing."

So let's start with "Confession Balloon"!

"?" Qin Feng asked in confusion, "Didn't you dislike his songs? Why did you still request them?"

"Tch, isn't it all so you can sing too? Hurry up and grab the microphone and sing with me!"

Let the pleasant evening begin now.

Chapter 39 That Night

Su Mumu stayed with Qin Feng for another hour before leaving, singing to her heart's content.

But Mi Han was in a terrible state. By the time Su Mumu and Qin Feng came out, Mi Han was already sitting in the car looking like she was going to rot.

"Brother Mihan, we've added an hour, so we'll have to trouble you to wait a little longer!"

When Mi Han saw the message Su Mumu sent, she felt despair.

He hadn't expected to go out today, so he didn't bring his mobile phone for entertainment; he only had his office phone with him. Therefore, he could only stay in the car and look at the scenery outside the window.

Mi Han waited alone for almost half an hour.

With nothing to do, Mi Han could only fantasize. He fantasized that a year later, when Su Mumu and Qin Feng's issues were resolved and the company had Su Mumu as its boss, he could step down and find a partner. After all, Mi Han was already twenty-five or twenty-six, and it would be too late if he didn't find a partner soon.

In Mi Han's fantasy, his partner's looks couldn't be worse than Su Mumu's, and she didn't have to be as all-around capable as Su Mumu, otherwise he would easily be spoiled. But her appearance absolutely had to be good.

Having spent so much time with Su Mumu, Mi Han found it difficult to even relax at night and find some materials for casting spells. Before, the mere thought of her face made him feel listless, and he couldn't even force himself to do it.

Mi Han's fantasies thus began to unfold.

The familiar knocking sound on the glass pulled Mi Han back from her reverie. Mi Han looked up and, sure enough, it was Su Mumu.

Seeing that Su Mumu had returned, Mi Han could only stop fantasizing, unlock the car door, and let the two of them get in.

Unlike before, Su Mumu took the front passenger seat before Qin Feng, leaving Qin Feng alone in the back seat looking sullen.

Upon seeing this, Mi Han immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

Su Mumu smiled awkwardly, glanced at Qin Feng who looked sullen in the back row, and quietly leaned over to Mi Han and said, "Ah, no, it's just that I might have gone a little too far lately. Maybe it's better to be more restrained. He usually only needs a few minutes to calm down, but I just realized that he seems to have been like this ever since you left. I was afraid something might happen, so I brought him out."

"Then why does President Qin look so depressed?" Mi Han was still puzzled.

"Ah, maybe he was just about to let me snuggle in, but as soon as I sensed he was still reacting, I jumped out in fear." Su Mumu chuckled awkwardly.

"Why do you always play such fancy games?" Mi Han couldn't understand Su Mumu's behavior.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. The first time I thought it might be very comfortable, but later it became addictive, like taking drugs. Every day when I saw Qin Feng sitting there, I wanted to jump in. I just couldn't control myself."

Su Mumu was also helpless. Of course, she felt that her behavior seemed a bit inappropriate, but for some reason she always did it subconsciously and felt it was justified. Only afterward did she realize that there was a problem.

Could it be a system problem? After all, I wasn't like this before. Su Mumu thought to herself, "I should ask about it sometime. I can't just let things stay like this forever. What if I turn back into Su Mu and still miss Qin Feng's embrace every day?"

"Alright, I'll try to find a way to bear with it, otherwise I'll have to trouble your CEO Qin to stay in his office."

"Why is it President Qin who lives in the office? Shouldn't it be you who lives there?"

"Nonsense, would I need to attend classes if I started my own company? Let's go back first, and see if I can resolve this issue tonight."

Since Su Mumu had said so, Mi Han had no choice but to drive home first and then make other plans.

As soon as she got off the bus, Su Mumu rushed upstairs, closed the door, and hid in her room, where she began to frantically try to contact the system.

The system didn't say how to contact it at the time, so Su Mumu could only silently chant in her mind, hoping that this would summon the system.

The system kept calling at such a high intensity for half an hour, until Su Mumu was almost falling asleep, but it still didn't respond at all.

Completely disheartened, Su Mumu decided to give up on finding answers from the system and instead discuss it with Qin Feng, hoping that he could make some effort in the future, at least not to touch and hug her too frequently. The current frequency of at least once a day, and several times more on rest days, might be a bit too high.

After opening the door, taking a deep breath, and mentally preparing herself, Su Mumu pushed open Qin Feng's door.

"Qin Feng, I want to discuss something with you... I'm sorry to bother you, please continue..." Su Mumu closed the door, trying hard to forget what she had just seen, but the harder she tried, the more vividly she remembered it.

"Don't remember, or you'll get corns!"

Half an hour ago, when I just got home—

Su Mumu rushed into her room without saying anything, while Qin Feng sat alone on the sofa in a daze.

As a nineteen-year-old boy, Qin Feng sometimes felt really uncomfortable, having to endure the pain of having beautiful women in his arms every day but being unable to resist their advances.

"Mu Mu went into her room alone, she probably won't come out again," Qin Feng thought to himself, still undecided.

"Fine, I'll take a gamble and bet that Mu Mu won't come out!" After much deliberation, Qin Feng finally made up his mind.

Because of the building's long history, the locks on the room doors were practically useless and had long since lost their function. So Qin Feng usually came when Su Mumu was at school, but today, he just couldn't resist!

Without hesitation, Qin Feng, having made up his mind, entered the room, gently closed the door, lay down on the bed, and began to clear his mind and prepare.

At this moment, Su Mumu pushed open the door and walked in, then went back out.

After Qin Feng discovered Su Mumu fleeing in panic, he looked at himself, who was already in the act of casting a spell and about to begin, and suddenly felt that his life seemed to have lost its meaning.

"Send it!" Qin Feng didn't want to live anymore.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng and Su Mumu, having tidied their clothes, sat at opposite ends of the sofa, both with their heads down, neither of them speaking.

After a long silence, Su Mumu broke the silence.

"Well, I can understand. After all, boys in their adolescence have desires, and it's normal to release them. I can understand, I can understand."

Su Mumu expressed her deep understanding of Qin Feng. After all, she had done such things before. Although it was the first time she had witnessed someone else casting a spell, Su Mumu still said she could understand. Now that she thought about it, little Qin Feng seemed a bit... Ahhh, I can't think about it, or I'll get corns!

"Do you believe me that I haven't even started yet?" Qin Feng tried to explain.

"Mmm, I believe you," Su Mumu replied dismissively.

"It's true..." Qin Feng said helplessly, "Why don't you believe it for a second?"

"Mmm, I believe you," Su Mumu replied dismissively.

"Please... never mind, I'm giving up. Didn't you say you had something to discuss with me? Go ahead and say it."

“Yes, that’s right,” Su Mumu said seriously, “I hope we can stop being so close for a while. Of course, it’s not because of what you just did. It’s just that I feel like I’ve been acting a little strange lately.”

Chapter 40 To Go or to Stay

“I wasn’t like this before,” Su Mumu continued. “Although I used to feel quite lonely, I could still pretend to be cheerful when I was alone.”

Indeed, during the week Qin Feng spent in class, most of the information he gathered about Su Mu indicated that Su Mu was a social butterfly, while the current Su Mumu was not only a homebody but also very clingy to him. Qin Feng found this strange at first, but since he didn't dislike Su Mumu clinging to him, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"But as you can see, I've done many things I never dared to imagine before just to be with you. So I think we need to cool off for a while, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to let go later."

"Can't let go? Why should you let go?" Qin Feng noticed the key words in Su Mumu's words and asked.

"Yes, I guess I'll disappear after my college entrance exam. Su Mumu will probably only be able to stay with you until next June." Su Mumu said to Qin Feng with a serious expression, "We might meet again in the future, but it won't be the same way we are now."

"Is it because you've been refusing to let me investigate that reason?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

Su Mumu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"What could be the reason? I don't think you're the kind of person who would suppress your feelings for any reason."

Su Mumu remained silent, simply lowering her head in quiet contemplation.

"Still unwilling to say it yourself? But, that day will come eventually, won't it?"

"Mmm," came Su Mumu's voice.

"Alright, I'll go take a shower and go to bed now. I'll wait until you figure it out yourself." After receiving a positive reply, Qin Feng got up and left.

After Qin Feng left, Su Mumu sat alone on the sofa. Suddenly, she raised her hand and touched her stomach, gave a wry smile, and then went back to her room.

Before going to bed, Qin Feng thought it over and over, and finally made a phone call to Mi Han.

"Hey, Mi Han, are you listening?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

"Mu Mu said she'll leave after her college entrance exam next year. What do you think?" Qin Feng asked.

"Huh? Did she tell the boss? Why do you sound completely unconcerned?" Mi Han was quite shocked. Su Mumu had already confessed to Qin Feng so directly. Wasn't that a bit too early? It was somewhat detrimental to the plan.

"She told me this before she went to sleep. As for worrying, I'm not worried at all. I don't think Mu Mu is the kind of person who can give up her feelings. She's just being stubborn now." Qin Feng even smiled, seemingly genuinely unconcerned.

"So, boss, what exactly do you think of Mu Mu? You don't really just see her as a younger sister, do you?" Mi Han started stirring things up.

"Otherwise what? Mu Mu is too dazzling. I feel that someone like me shouldn't stand next to her. I'm already very happy to be her older brother," Qin Feng sighed.

"You don't need to be so self-deprecating. You are, after all, the most legitimate heir of the Qin family, with a net worth of over 100 million. Mu Mu is an excellent high school student, and while her appearance may not be the most outstanding in history, she is at least a rare beauty in the world. She will also very likely graduate from a prestigious university like Peking University. Isn't this a perfect match in the eyes of outsiders?"

As for the Qin family, although it has been usurped by your uncle, but…

"Alright, that's enough. I can't accept it anytime soon." Qin Feng interrupted Mi Han.

In Qin Feng's view, everything he has now is the result of his rebirth. Everything he has now comes from that dreamlike experience. He is afraid that this is just a dream, and when he wakes up, he will still be just a small mercenary who can only follow the team and try to survive.

Even with such a fantastical experience, he still couldn't save his parents, and even lost the Qin family fortune they left him. Think about the reborn protagonists in novels; four or five years later, they should at least be among the richest people in the country. Those with greater ambitions have probably already cleared the five great hellish dungeons of Earth and become the sole rulers of the planet.

If it weren't for meeting Su Mumu, Qin Feng would probably still be living a humble life somewhere somewhere.

Qin Feng is selfish and reluctant to give Su Mumu away to someone else; but Qin Feng is also insecure and dares not expose his completely bubble-like self to Su Mumu's dazzling light.

Although Mi Han didn't know why Qin Feng had refused again and again, he could hear the frustration in Qin Feng's voice and could only comfort him, "Boss, I still think you don't need to be so self-deprecating. Just because you didn't do well in the past doesn't mean you'll do badly in the future. Since you feel that you are not worthy now, why not believe in your future self?"

Qin Feng seemed to have suddenly figured something out. Indeed, Qin Feng hadn't dared to like Su Mumu before, firstly because he felt that an old man like him shouldn't be harming a teenage girl, and secondly because he felt that he wasn't worthy of being by the side of such a perfect Su Mumu.

But as Mi Han said, he might not be worthy to stand beside Su Mumu now, but there's always the future, isn't there? Qin Feng believed he wasn't stupid; abilities could be trained, emotional intelligence could be improved, and as for managing the company, he would gain experience with long-term practice. He still had unlimited hope for the future!

Perhaps in the future, I can establish my own foundation outside the bubble? Wouldn't that version of myself be worthy of being with Su Mumu?

Qin Feng suddenly felt motivated, but he still held back because he knew Su Mumu could hear his conversation with Mi Han, so he pretended to be disappointed, "Don't say anything, I won't. I'm happy enough to be by her side as her brother."

In that instant, Qin Feng felt his IQ and EQ surge to their maximum. He showed Su Mumu his ambition and the ultimate goal of his ambition, so that he could slowly win her over and make her a true member of the family!

Mi Han was clearly also fooled by Qin Feng. She just sighed and said, "My sister is my sister. She can't leave anyway. I've already made a plan. As long as the day comes when Mu Mu is willing to be honest with you, President Qin, if you say you want to keep Mu Mu, I will definitely be able to persuade her to stay."

"Okay." Qin Feng was pleased to hear Mi Han's confidence. "Since neither of us is worried, let's see how it goes. Mu Mu will stay." After saying that, Qin Feng hung up the phone.

While the two of them were happy, Su Mumu in the next room was not. You see, this building is over twenty years old and the soundproofing isn't very good. After hearing that Qin Feng was on the phone asking Mi Han about himself, Su Mumu had been eavesdropping the whole time.

"You all think you can let me stay, doesn't that make it seem like I'm joking about being ruthless enough to make a decision?" Su Mumu buried her head in the blanket. "Ugh! Fine, if you really let me stay, I'll give it a try... it might not be a bad idea..."

In the darkness, a faint longing flickered in the girl's eyes, while her cheeks were already flushed.

That night, unsurprisingly, the girl couldn't sleep.

(I received a lot of complaints yesterday, which made me much happier (￣y▽￣)~*)

Chapter 41

"Knock knock knock," Su Mumu's door was knocked open, waking her up.

"Mmm~" With a long and low moan, Su Mumu turned over and buried herself under the covers to continue sleeping.

"Knock knock knock," the knocking was a little louder this time.

"I want to sleep in! Don't wake me up so early in the morning!" This time it was an angry shout, and Su Mumu casually put the pillow on top of her head.

"Bang bang bang," this time the sound was from someone banging on the door.

Su Mumu couldn't take it anymore. This time, she didn't answer. She got up and rushed over to open the door.

"Who's here so early in the morning... Ouch!" The hand that was knocking on the door didn't stop, and this time it hit Su Mumu's forehead directly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mu Mu, I didn't expect you to open the door." Qin Feng looked at the pitiful girl who was crouching down with her head in her hands, and quickly squatted down to comfort her.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you waking me up so early on Saturday morning!" Su Mumu covered her head, sobbing and yelling angrily.

"Hey, is it early? It's already past one in the afternoon," Qin Feng replied while rubbing Su Mumu's head.

"One o'clock in the afternoon?" Su Mumu was shocked.

While Su Mumu was still in shock, Qin Feng's stomach rumbled.

"Mumu, look, I haven't eaten all day, and my stomach is protesting." Qin Feng looked at Su Mumu with a pitiful expression.
