The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Not being on good terms with his wife from the start, Mu Dongsheng all the more refused to waste his breath on Bai Xuexian after that exposé. He carelessly exchanged a couple of words with her before he went off finding Mu Huan with the fruit juice.

Right now, Mu Huan, who was a little anxious and uncertain whether her husband would be coming, had taken out her phone to play some mobile games to pass this arduous time.

With fruit juice in hand, her father drew close to her. “My little baby has changed her phone.”

She raised her head and silently glanced at him.

“My dear Xiao Huanhuan, please don’t ignore Daddy!” He smiled and shifted a little closer again.

Mu Huan: “…”

She was struck dumb by her father’s behavior. For someone of her father’s age, he actually saw no shame in acting cute.

“Oh, I play this game too. From now on, carry me and we’ll play together, yeah?” Her father previously worked as a doctor, but he quit the job when he found it tiring later on. Deeming him useless, his mother then allowed him to stay at home. All she asked was for him not to pick fights and cause trouble.

Having nothing to do all day long was why he was still playing games at his age.

Mu Huan’s head started pounding in pain as she glanced at the older man. “No matter what you do, I’m not gonna help you borrow that five million!”

He was about to flare up at her for not helping him borrow the money, but it occurred to him right then that he could borrow it from Bao Junyan himself!

When he comes here later, will he not lend me that five million when I, his father-in-law, am requesting to borrow the money?

He’s bound to lend it to me!

By then, even if I don’t return the money to him, he surely won’t have the nerve to demand it from me either!

At the thought of this, he remained smiling at his daughter. “Can you hear what you’re saying? Aside from when I’m asking for money, can’t I hold a conversation with my daughter at all?!”

Feeling somewhat surprised by his lack of anger, she put her phone away and looked straight at him.

Mu Dongsheng: “I might be a useless father, but I’m ultimately your birth father. Since you’re so reluctant to do so, I won’t force you against your will.”

“It’s all useless, be it by force, persuasion, or playing the family card.” She felt that he would not give up this easily, and so, she thought that this was just him switching his tactics into a softer appeasing method.

“I know, so I’m not seeking your help anymore!” I’ll ask him for it myself!

Even though she did not believe a word of it, she would never borrow that money on his behalf regardless of what he wanted. He could do whatever he wanted for all she cared.

“Here, Dad has brought you your favorite drink — watermelon juice.” He pushed the cup of fruit juice toward her.

She gave him a withering look in return. “There’s no use in pleasing me.”

“What are you saying, child?! Other than not helping you at that time when your granny took you away, since when have I not brought you any food or money each time I visited? However useless I might be, I’m still your father and you’re my daughter! It’s only right that I treat you well. How can it possibly be that I’m pleasing you?!”

Despite him being a little selfish, Mu Dongsheng still had some feelings for his daughter. After her granny had taken her away, he would visit her with yummy treats and money during the occasional times he remembered her.

She kept her silence for a while before reaching for that cup of fruit juice in his outstretched hand. “Don’t go gambling again. Gambling is the most harmful thing of all.”

“Alright, I got it. Continue playing your game, I’ll go entertain the guests.” Since he had decided to directly ask his son-in-law for the money, there was no need for him to say anything more to her.

After her father left, Mu Huan stared at the cup of watermelon juice in her hand.

Of all fruits and fruit juices out there, she loved eating watermelons and drinking watermelon juice the most. When she was a child, her father would often make watermelon juice for her to drink and would order a watermelon juice for her first whenever they ate out.
