"I bought this!"
Ning Xiaofei and Sister-in-law Liu noticed that Mu Tianye's expression was different, and they wanted to help Chu Xinning cover it up, so they both spoke almost in unison.
Hearing the voices of the two people, Mu Tianye raised his face in confusion.
Ning Xiaofei and Mrs. Liu looked at each other and immediately laughed out loud.
"I mean, I asked Sister Liu to buy this."
"Yes, yes, the young lady asked me to buy it."
Both the master and the servant looked a little flustered, and it was obvious that they were trying their best to hide it.
Mu Tianye's pupils shrank slightly.
"This store has not been open for more than ten years. Which street did Mrs. Liu buy it on?"
In one sentence, Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded by the question.
"I am… "
"Ss—" Ning Xiaofei pressed her stomach, "Sister-in-law Liu, I'm hungry, and Amano is back too. If the dumplings are ready, can we start dinner early?"
Mu's mother was still upstairs. They hurriedly finished eating and left so that she could go downstairs.
"Hey, okay! I'll get ready right away." Mrs. Liu immediately walked down the steps and slipped into the kitchen.
At this moment, Mr. Mu naturally saw the clues. He immediately smiled, bent over and pulled a box of snacks to open.
"This snack is very delicious, Xiaofei. Since you are hungry, why don't you eat one first to satisfy your hunger?"
"Thank you, Grandpa, you're welcome!"
Ning Xiaofei secretly glanced at Mu Tianye's expression, stretched out her hand to pinch a piece of snack, and slowly brought it to her lips, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
This man, will you see through this soon? !
Mu Tianye glanced at the snacks on the table, raised his eyebrows, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
No need to guess, he also knew where this box of snacks came from.
It was rare to bring Ning Xiaofei back for a meal, and today was a special period. He didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so he raised his fingers and decided to pretend to be confused for once.
"Is it delicious?" Mr. Mu asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Ning Xiaofei held up the snack after taking a bite, "It's sweet but not greasy, and the filling inside melts when put into the soil. It's really delicious."
"When I was little, Amano loved this the most."
"Really?" Ning Xiaofei saw that Mu Tianye had no intention of losing his temper, thinking that he was being coaxed by the three of them, so she immediately offered the snacks to him, "Do you want to try it?"
Mu Tianye shook his head slightly, "I don't want to eat it, you can eat it!"
There was a sweet smell in the air and penetrated into his nose. The familiar sweet scent of osmanthus made him unable to help but recall those old times.
When I was young, my family's living conditions were average, and this kind of snack was still a luxury item at that time. Every time my father got royalties or my mother received royalties for translations, he would buy a box and give half to him and half to Grandpa Mu. She had the most Just take a piece, taste it yourself, and give the rest to Dad Mu, just saying that you have a toothache and can't eat anything sweet.
Shaking his head to get rid of those old memories in his mind, Mu Tianye stood up and helped Ning Xiaofei pour a glass of water and put it in her hand.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Ning Xiaofei finished the snacks quickly, put them away on the cabinet aside, and Mr. Mu asked Mu Tianye about work matters. This small episode was over for the time being.
It was not long, Mrs. Liu and the nanny had already prepared the meals, served the cold dishes on the table, and cooked the dumplings and put them on the plate.
A family of three gathered around the table to eat. Mr. Mu was obviously in a good mood. He asked Sister Liu to get some liquor and he and Mu Tianye each drank a small glass to cheer up.
