When Mu Tingxiao returned to the room, Mu Nuannuan was still awake.
He had just smoked a cigarette and the smell of cigarette smoke remained on his fingers.
He put his coat next to the bed, glanced at Mu Nuannuan, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
When he came out, he saw Mu Nuannuan leaning against the bedside with her arms in her arms, with a confused expression on her face. It was obvious that she had just woken up and was still awake.
"woke up."
Mu Tingxiao walked to the bed and sat down.
Mu Nuannuan frowned: "Have you smoked?"
Mu Tingxiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mu Nuannuan's nose to be so sharp, but he still nodded and admitted: "Yeah."
Then he added: "I only lit one and took a few puffs."
Mu Nuannuan's nose was even more sensitive than before before she was pregnant.
"I thought you didn't smoke before." Mu Nuannuan had almost never seen Mu Tingxiao smoking before, so she thought Mu Tingxiao didn't smoke.
Mu Tingxiao chuckled lightly and said nothing.
It's true that he doesn't smoke much, he has no craving for cigarettes.
After all, smoking harms the body, and he cherishes his life.
But there were too many things going on recently, and he occasionally couldn't help but want to smoke a cigarette, and it was mostly when Mu Nuannuan was away that he would smoke.
Mu Tingxiao pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "If you see Si Chengyu in the future, stay away from him."
Although he also arranged for many bodyguards to follow Mu Nuannuan when he was away, Mu Nuannuan would inevitably bump into Si Chengyu in the old house these days.
Mu Nuannuan caught a glimpse of Mu Tingxiao's coat lying beside the bed. She remembered that when she was sleeping, Mu Tingxiao's coat was placed on the sofa.
It seemed that Mu Tingxiao went out after she fell asleep.
Mu Nuannuan asked speculatively: "Did you meet him again? What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything." The look on Mu Tingxiao's face was a little cold: "What else can he and I say now?"
Mu Nuannuan held Mu Tingxiao's hand comfortingly and said nothing.
…
There was nothing to do in the old house. Mu Nuannuan basically stayed in her room except for eating.
However, after dinner in the evening, Mr. Mu asked her to go to the room and watch TV with him for a while.
Mu Nuannuan thought that Mr. Mu had something to say, but it turned out that he just asked her to watch TV with him.
The programs that the elderly like to watch are cross talk, opera and the like. Mu Nuannuan finds it a bit boring, but Mr. Mu can watch it interestingly, so he can only accompany him.
Fortunately, Mr. Mu was still concerned about Mu Nuannuan's health and asked her to stay with him for an hour before urging her to go back to her room to rest.
Mr. Mu squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Nuannuan for a few seconds: "You should go back and rest first, and ask Tingxiao to come over. I have something to tell him."
Previously, Mr. Mu asked Mu Nuannuan to watch TV with him. Of course Mu Tingxiao wanted to follow him, but Mu Nuannuan didn't let him.
The old man was always a particular person, so it would be bad for Mu Tingxiao to show he cared too much about her.
"Yeah." Mu Nuannuan stood up and was about to walk out.
"It's warm."
When she was almost walking to the door, she heard Mr. Mu calling her from behind.
Mu Nuannuan turned around and said, "What's wrong, grandpa?"
Mr. Mu was a popular figure when he was young, but because of family marriage, he got married very young.
It is said that Mu Tingxiao's grandmother is two years older than Mr. Mu, and the two were quite harmonious after their marriage, but he is not a person who is content with his family.
There is one main wife in the family, and she has many lovers outside, including some illegitimate children.
However, most of them were not very popular, and none of them were chosen by him to be accepted into the Mu family.
Mu Nuannuan heard these things from Shen Liang.
Mr. Mu is a person. Even though he raised so many women and children outside, he has never made trouble to the Mu family, but he has given him enough face as his head wife.
Because he got married early, even though his eldest grandson Si Chengyu is already twenty-eight years old, he is only in his early seventies this year.
At this age, ordinary retired elderly people have already cultivated themselves at home and are still very strong unless they have serious illnesses.
The Mu family is such a good family. Mr. Mu has the best food and drink, and he also has a dedicated nutritionist.
However, at this time, Mr. Mu was sitting alone on the sofa. He looked extremely sad and aged. He had lost a bit of the majesty of the patriarch. Instead, he looked a little tired, old and annoyed. People have mercy.
At this moment, Mu Nuannuan clearly felt that Mr. Mu was not enjoying his life.
"What happened before was because grandpa was confused. I will not interfere with you and Tingxiao's affairs from now on. You two should be good to each other."
Mr. Mu's tone was a little low and hoarse, giving the impression that he was explaining the funeral affairs.
Mu Nuannuan's face changed slightly, and her voice could not help but rise a little higher: "Grandpa!"
She knew that Mr. Mu was talking about sending Qin Shuishan there before. Mu Nuannuan did feel a little resentful towards him because she had a grudge about it, but she didn't care too much.
Because Mu Tingxiao was very interested in her.
As long as Mu Tingxiao has her in his heart, it doesn't matter to her what others think or do.
However, Mr. Mu's tone at this time made her feel very uneasy.
"Okay, let's go. It's almost ten o'clock. Ask Ting Xiao to come over quickly. I'm going to bed soon." Mr. Mu waved his hand, looking impatient to hear more from her.
Mu Nuannuan glanced at him worriedly, opened the door and hurried back to the room.
Mu Tingxiao was wearing pajamas, leaning on the bedside and playing games on his mobile phone. His face was still expressionless, and it seemed that the game was not fun.
The way he glanced at the door from time to time showed that he had no intention of playing games at this time.
As soon as he saw Mu Nuannuan pushing the door open, he threw his phone aside, got up and got out of bed and walked towards Mu Nuannuan.
"The old man didn't make things difficult for you?" Mu Tingxiao looked at her quietly as he spoke.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her, he withdrew his appraising gaze.
Mu Nuannuan shook her head and conveyed what Mr. Mu said to Mu Tingxiao: "Grandpa asked you to come over. He said he had something to tell you and asked you to come over quickly. He will go to bed later."
After hearing this, Mu Tingxiao thought for a moment before asking: "What else? What did he say to you?"
"I didn't say anything, I was just watching TV with him." Mu Nuannuan frowned: "But I think grandpa is a little strange, and his tone is a little wrong..."
She really felt that Mr. Mu was explaining his funeral arrangements, but she couldn't say it in front of Mu Tingxiao.
After all, Mr. Mu is Mu Tingxiao's relative.
Mu Nuannuan sighed: "You'll know when you go there."
She could tell that something was wrong in Mr. Mu's tone. Mu Tingxiao was so smart, he would definitely be able to tell it, and maybe he would be able to discover something.
Mu Tingxiao's expression became serious when he saw Mu Nuannuan frowning and sighing.
"I'll go over first, and you sleep first." After telling Mu Nuannuan, he left.
