Meng Yao and Chen Ying came to the restaurant. Halfway through, Xu Mu insisted that she hold him in her arms, and Meng Yao had no choice but to take it.
Xu Mu hugged her neck tightly: "Sister-in-law is the best to Mumu!"
Seeing Meng Yao's helpless and bewildered look, Chen Ying couldn't help but smile.
Meng Yao usually looks cold and aggressive. This is the first time Chen Ying has seen her react like this. She looks helpless but also a little cute.
"Yaoyao seems to like children very much?"
Meng Yao lifted up Xu Mu's little ball of flesh and said, "No, I don't particularly like children."
It can even be said to be indifferent.
Chen Ying smiled knowingly: "I guess you rarely come into contact with children. You are so busy with work that you probably don't have time to interact with children. When you and Ah Ying have a child, you will probably like it."
Meng Yao nodded.
Having a child with Rongyan? She had never thought about it.
When Meng Yao arrived at the dining table, Xu Youlan, Rong Ying and others were already seated.
Rong Wei's eyes subconsciously swept over Meng Yao, and he was relieved to see that she was as usual.
But when his eyes swept over Xu Mu, who was hugging Meng Yao tightly and refused to let go, his eyes moved, and then he withdrew his gaze without saying a word.
Xu Mu was really not light. Meng Yao had neglected exercise recently, so it was quite strenuous for her to carry him for such a long time. When they saw the restaurant, Meng Yao pretended to put Xu Mu down.
Unexpectedly, Xu Mu swung his short legs and refused to get off. He turned his head and saw Rong Qiao with a gloomy look on his face. "I don't want it! I want a hug~"
Rong Qiao sat next to Xu Youlan. Her expression could barely be described as calm and elegant, but the questioning in her words could not be stopped: "Aunt Ying, what do you mean? Didn't you say you were here to see the old lady? Why is Mumu back with you now?"
Chen Ying's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her tone was still gentle: "After looking for the old lady, I took Mumu out to play again."
Xu Youlan frowned beside him: "It's just a small matter, why are you so fussy about it? Ah Qiao, how many times have I told you that you should be more respectful to Ah Ying? Have you forgotten who held you and played with you when you were little?"
Rong Qiao looked unhappy: "Aunt Ying works here, so it's her duty to take care of me even when I was a child. Do you want me to kowtow to her?"
In Rongqiao's opinion, no matter how many years Chen Ying stayed here, he was just doing it for money.
Xu Youlan threw the cup in her hand onto the table fiercely, and said angrily, "The older you get, the less you know the rules."
Rong Qiao believed that he had never made any mistakes in music and etiquette, and that he was respected as a "master" wherever he went.
Now what Xu Youlan said undoubtedly made her feel embarrassed, but the other party was Xu Youlan, so she certainly couldn't get angry.
"My words were inappropriate, please don't be angry, old lady." Rong Qiao lowered his eyes: "I will definitely not be so reckless and rude next time."
Xu Youlan has always loved Rong Qiao, her only daughter, the most. Seeing that Rong Qiao admitted her mistake, Xu Youlan did not intend to continue to get angry.
Xu Youlan looked at Meng Yao again and said with a friendly smile: "Yaoyao is back? Did you have fun? Come on, sit down!"
"Very good." Meng Yao responded.
Rong Qiao saw that Xu Mu was still being held by Meng Yao, and she was annoyed: "Meng Yao has no experience in raising children, and Mu Mu is still young. What if she gets hurt by accident?"
Xu Youlan felt that her daughter was becoming more and more outrageous: "What are you talking about? Yaoyao gave you a baby out of kindness and you despised her? I've never seen you pamper Mumu like this before!"
Rong Qiao lowered his mouth, "Children are delicate, that's why I'm worried. Mumu is usually shy, how can Aunt Ying let Meng Yao do whatever she wants? I can understand that Meng Yao is young and playful, but children can't be teased casually."
Meng Yao had already sat down safely at this time. Although she had a human-shaped pendant on her body, it did not affect her activities too much.
Due to the physical exertion just now, she was now extremely tired and too lazy to speak. Everything Rong Qiao said fell on deaf ears.
Mumu looked over with eager eyes: "Mumu wants some candy too!"
Meng Yao ruthlessly refused: "It's not good for children to eat candy."
"aunt."
Rong Qiao was stunned when she heard Rong Yin's voice. When she turned her head, there was already a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Take Xu Mu back."
"What?"
Rong Yun looked at her calmly, but there was a hint of sharpness in the corners of his eyes: "Aren't you worried that Yaoyao won't be able to take care of the child? She is weak, of course she can't compare to others."
When Rong Yun glanced at him, Rong Qiao suddenly lost his confidence.
Rong Qiao had the final say in the entire Rong family, so he couldn't help but rely on him. After he said that, Rong Qiao had no choice but to stand up.
She walked over slowly, and under Xu Mu's frightened gaze, she said softly, "Mumu, come here, come to your mother."
Xu Mu shook his head and muttered: "I don't want..."
Rong Qiao's face turned cold when he heard this.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from behind. It was Rong Wei who walked over slowly. He sighed with an ambiguous meaning, "It turns out that Xu Mu himself refused to let go."
Rong Qiao stood there awkwardly, feeling as if a huge slap had hit him on the face, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Rong Qiao was not the only one who panicked when she saw Rong Yan coming over. Xu Mu was also trembling in her arms, trying hard to pull at her coat.
Rong Wei slowly lowered his head and looked at Xu Mu: "Come down."
Although Xu Mu was young, he was quick-witted. He roughly understood that his mother and sister-in-law were not on good terms, and he did not want to be disliked by his sister-in-law, so he had to try his best to please her.
Xu Mu moved close to Meng Yao's face and kissed her on the cheek.
"Sister-in-law, remember to think of Mumu~"
Meng Yao was slightly stunned. She turned her head and reached out to rub his soft short hair.
In Rong Wei's eyes, what Xu Mu did was simply "hooliganism", and he felt that everything in front of him was extremely dazzling.
Xu Mu saw the smile on Meng Yao's lips. He also grinned foolishly, and his nose started to bubble. Before he could say anything else, he felt someone suddenly picked him up.
The feeling of being suddenly in the air was not very good. Xu Mu cried out, and the next second he was thrown into Rong Qiao's arms.
"Your own child, auntie, you must take good care of him."
It was just a rather plain sentence, but Rong Qiao read other messages from it. She couldn't believe that her nephew would distance himself from her because of a woman.
