  Only Favoring His Wife Chapter 5

"I just want to return to my ancestral home," Qin Mucheng replied. Liu Mingxi felt reassured by her response, realizing he couldn't be with her due to her ancestral visit, as he was considered unqualified in the eyes of the Qin family. However, he took solace in the fact that Mr. Qin's affection for his "male wife" couldn't compare to the love Qin Mucheng had for him. To Liu Mingxi, Ye Yunjin seemed unnecessary to Qin Mucheng, and he felt a sense of pride. Qin Mucheng suggested they rest and continue the conversation later, to which Liu Mingxi agreed before saying his usual thoughtful goodbye.

Qin Mucheng observed her phone screen, amusement flickering in her eyes. It seemed too easy to resolve the situation. The enjoyable game had only just begun, and she hoped not to be disappointed.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunjin, who had returned to his room, remained oblivious to the unfolding drama. He sat on the bed, wearing a puzzled expression for a moment. Then, suddenly, He lay back with a joyful glint in his eyes. His heart raced as he replayed recent events in his mind, and a smile slowly crept across his face.

As exhaustion took over, Ye Yunjin drifted off to sleep, and time passed. Eventually, a soft "click" signaled the opening of the door, and Qin Mucheng's silhouette gradually appeared in the room.

Qin Mucheng, who had intended to return to his room, inexplicably found himself unable to control his steps, leading him to Ye Yunjin's room. As he gazed upon the person on the bed, who lay there unconsciously, frowning because of the uncovered blanket, something tugged at Qin Mucheng's heart.

Without thinking, he reached out and gently covered Ye Yunjin with the quilt. As he did, an inexplicable itchiness seemed to scratch at his heart, akin to the gentle touch of a feather. He watched silently as Ye Yunjin snuggled under the warmth of the blanket, contentedly rubbing it.

After a careful look at Ye Yunjin's peaceful sleeping face, Qin Mucheng turned away after a while, quietly walked to the door, and left.The following morning, the gentle sunlight streamed into the room through the gap in the curtains, casting a warm glow upon the bed. On that bed, a man lay soundly asleep.

As time ticked away, the man's eyelashes quivered ever so slightly, and he gradually opened his drowsy eyes. Ye Yunjin awoke with a sense of confusion, scanning the room before his gaze settled on the bedside alarm clock, which displayed ten and five minutes. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he recalled something, fully alert now.

Ye Yunjin hadn't expected to sleep so deeply, even bypassing his usual internal alarm clock. What made matters more pressing was that he had plans to visit his ancestral home with someone today. Yet here he was, still in bed at this hour.

With that realization, he hastily got out of bed, slipped into his slippers, and hurriedly exited the room. As he descended the stairs to the first floor, he found that Qin Mucheng was nowhere to be seen in the hallway.

Ye Yunjin pressed his lips together, a growing sense of disappointment infiltrating his heart.

"I suppose I've taken things too seriously," he mused to himself, a self-deprecating laugh escaping him. "Could he really have intended to take me there?"

"Mr. Ye, you're awake!" Suddenly, a maid's voice called out from behind Ye Yunjin. He turned to find the maid who had emerged, and he asked in surprise, "Is there something you need from me?"

"Mr. Ye," the maid replied, "when Steward Su went out for errands earlier, he instructed me to inform you of something if you woke up. The second young master unexpectedly has some morning business at the company but will return around eleven o'clock to accompany you to the ancestral home. Please make your preparations accordingly."

"What? He's coming to fetch me? Hasn't the second young master left for the ancestral home yet?" Ye Yunjin queried, his disbelief evident.

"That's what Steward Su conveyed to me, Mr. Ye," the maid replied.

Even the maid herself couldn't fathom why the second young master would choose to accompany Mr. Ye. Wasn't there already someone the second young master favored, making Mr. Ye a less desirable option? But regardless of her speculations, the answers remained elusive.

Ye Yunjin, taken aback by the maid's words, didn't dwell on this question as the maid had. More accurately, he didn't dare to ponder it, plagued by an undefined fear.

Meanwhile, in Qin Mucheng's office, a voice challenged him, "I've asked you before, Second Young Master Qin, what's your plan?"
