My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1090 - 1000: Don’t Take It Too Seriously

Yan Lv, despite hearing her words, remained unconvinced and felt her response was lacking. He pressed on, "I observed that you weren't looking too well just now."

"I must have been startled," Mu Sha replied smoothly, her expression unwavering, betraying no hint of deception or a racing heart.

Yan Lv studied her, noting her silence. Certain sentiments were difficult for him to voice directly, especially considering she was no longer alone, but carrying a new life within her.

His gaze drifted downwards, settling on her abdomen. A heartwarming vision of a family of three materialized in his mind, bringing an involuntary, contented smile to his face.

Unaware of Yan Lv's internal musings, Mu Sha was perplexed by his demeanor. Though she hadn't given much weight to their current discussion, his subsequent words introduced a flicker of concern.

"I hope your life isn't solely consumed by work. You dedicate excessive time to the laboratory; I wish you would re-evaluate your schedule. Mu Sha, you are no longer single."

Yan Lv's pronouncement jolted Mu Sha's senses. From his perspective, she appeared excessively career-driven. While he generally encouraged ambition and professional pursuits for women within the company, Mu Sha's situation presented complexities that couldn't be easily articulated, leading to a noticeable shift in his mood.

"My schedule is dictated by the lab; everyone adheres to the same timetable. My colleagues often put in even longer hours than I do. I do not desire special considerations simply because I am not single. The work I perform is entirely safe, and you need not worry about any adverse effects."

Yan Lv perceived Mu Sha's misunderstanding but chose not to clarify immediately. Instead, he listened intently, beginning to contemplate the current state of their relationship with seriousness.

"I may not fully grasp your thoughts, but I implore you to proceed with less haste. Your work, personal life, and family are intrinsically linked. You should still recall your mother's advice."

The sudden mention of Yan Lv's mother caught Mu Sha entirely off guard.

From the outset, his mother had harbored reservations about their union. It was only due to the elders' firm insistence that she had reluctantly acquiesced. Yet, Mu Sha was keenly aware of Yan Lv's mother's perpetually critical gaze. Compounding this, Mu Sha lacked a natural talent for flattery or appeasing others, which frequently left her at a loss for words.

"I have not forgotten what my mother-in-law said," Mu Sha responded, her voice sounding somewhat frail.

Hearing her tone, Yan Lv felt a pang of regret. He observed the delicate features of her profile, her noticeably thin face, and his expression conveyed a distinct, deeper level of concern.

"I will be diligent and manage both my work and family life. However... I am unable to learn cooking at this time; please accept my apologies."

Mu Sha offered another apology to Yan Lv, her head bowed in what appeared to be guilt.

The woman before him seemed like a stranger, one who resisted any close emotional connection. Yan Lv had often questioned whether the cheerful, smiling woman he first encountered was truly the same person now standing before him.

They bore the same physical appearance, yet their behavior was markedly different.

Despite his concern for Mu Sha, Yan Lv felt a reluctance to voice his true feelings. He accepted her apology, though the necessity for it remained unclear to him. Observing her apologetic admission about her inability to cook, he deemed it pointless to argue with Mu Sha, after all, she was, by title at least, Mrs. Yan.
