Chapter 112
Chapter 112
Heather commented quietly as her eyes blinked, watching Chu Feng and his family; there was envy and a slight disappointment in her expression.
Heather had always dreamt of becoming Chu Feng’s bride when she was still an innocent young lady years ago. She dreamt of accompanying him to travel around the world and even bear him a bunch of lovely children. Now, her dreams came true but unfortunately, Chu Feng’s bride was not her.
Heather understood that Chu Feng—the knight in shining armor who saved her from the ruins of Holy Temple and the man who single-handedly wiped out the whole Western Mafia World—was not of the same world as her. She also understood that Chu Feng only treated her as his younger sister. However, when she saw the man she loved and missed so much was living happily with his family in front of her, Heather could not help but felt herself being overwhelmed with jealousy, pain and disappointment.
“Miss, you are very beautiful.” As if she could see through Heather’s depressed mood, Duo Duo blinked her large bright eyes and walked timidly toward Heather. She smiled sweetly and said, “You have blonde hair and blue eyes, just like Snow White.”
The cheeky Duo Duo immediately lightened up Heather, who caressed Duo Duo’s head, crouched down and asked, “How about I take you to see the real Snow White? Do you like that?”
“Really? You are so nice. I love you!”
Duo Duo had always been the life of the party. With just a few simple words, she managed to make Heather laugh non-stop and the latter even grew to like Duo Duo too.
Chu Feng smiled and looked at the warm scene before him in silence.
Yun Muqing, however, bit her red lips. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a complex look. She could not put her finger on the reason for her discomfort whenever she saw Chu Feng and Heather together. She felt rather annoyed when she saw both of them together, especially when she saw Heather playing and laughing with Duo Duo happily. She sulked over the fact that they looked more like a real happy family together, while she was just a mere stranger sitting beside them.
“Duo Duo, your dad and Miss Heather haven’t seen each other for so long, let them chat.” Yun Muqing took a deep breath, calmed herself down and waved to Duo Duo. “Come here, I’ll play with you.”
Duo Duo was reluctant to leave Heather. She said with her soft girly voice, “But, but, Miss Heather said she will take me to find Snow White…”
Yun Muqing frowned and waved at Duo Duo again. “Come here!”
Duo Duo pouted her lips and walked reluctantly toward Yun Muqing with her head lowered. After Heather grinned and promised that she would give Duo Duo the most beautiful Snow White doll, only then did Duo Duo smile and was happy again.
“You guys have a chat. I’ll take Duo Duo for a walk over there.” Yun Muqing smiled at Heather and took Duo Duo away.
During the walk, Yun Muqing felt annoyed and disturbed by all the messy thoughts popping into her head.
She knew Chu Feng saved Heather’s life before and that they were old friends who met each other a long time ago, even way before she met Chu Feng.
But, when she saw Heather and Chu Feng together, she could not help but had a strange feeling as if someone had snatched away something she loved dearly and that she felt desolate.
But the problem was, Chu Feng was not related to her in any ways; he was just Duo Duo’s ‘fake father’ and her ‘fake husband’ for hire.
She had no right to meddle in his private life or to care about what kind of female friends he had.
Perhaps, I fell in love with him? The idea popped into Yun Muqing’s mind out of nowhere. Yun Muqing was startled by the idea and she blushed.
“Mommy, your face is so red!” Suddenly, Duo Duo, who was standing by Yun Muqing’s side, said with her large blinking eyes, “Mommy, are you jealous seeing Miss Heather and Daddy together?”
Duo Duo’s words took Yun Muqing by surprise. “W-Who’s jealous? You’re just a kid. You don’t know anything!”
“That’s possible.” Xiao Hu agreed with Duo Duo; he put his little hand below his chin and continued to analyze seriously. “Miss Heather has a pretty face and a great body figure. She is rich too. The main point is—she is a western lady with blonde hair and blue eyes. No man will be able to resist her charm and beauty! Bingo! Duo Duo, now I have enough proof which shows that Uncle Chu Feng is having an affair!” Xiao Hu snapped his fingers and struck a conclusion with a firm look in his eyes; he looked like he was being possessed by the spirit of Detective Conan.

“Eh? What does ‘affair’ mean?” Duo Duo stared at Xiao Hu with her cute puzzled face.

Xiao Hu was speechless with Duo Duo’s limited vocabulary.
Meanwhile, Yun Muqing was speechless with their childish conversation. Annoyed, she hit both of them in their heads before sending them away playing on their own. “Go! Go! Go! You kids don’t know what you’re talking about! Go play somewhere else!”
