Mu Tingxiao happened to be a little thirsty, so he reached out to take the water glass and took a sip naturally.
Looking up, he saw Mu Nuannuan's expression of hesitation. He lowered his eyes at the water glass, seemed to take a deep breath, and then asked Mu Mu: "Where is the water?"
Mu Mu pointed to the bathroom with an innocent look on his face: "There is a lot of water there. Dad, do you still want to drink?"
On weekdays, Mu Mu acts like a little princess at home, with servants surrounding her. She doesn't know what water she can and cannot drink.
Mu Tingxiao pursed his lips and said with a serious expression, "Can't you get water from there again?"
Mu Mu pouted: "Why? The beautiful sister said it tastes good."
Mu Nuannuan then remembered that Mu Mu had also used this water cup to get water for her to drink just now...
Then isn't she and Mu Tingxiao equivalent to... an indirect kiss
I don't know if Mu Tingxiao thought of the same question as her, but he gave her an unclear look.
Mu Nuannuan turned her head hurriedly: "Well... my fiancé should be back soon. I'll wait for him first."
After she finished speaking, she hurried out.
What she didn't know was that while she was speaking, Mu Tingxiao's eyes kept falling on her lips.
…
Mu Nuannuan walked out of Mu Tingxiao's house, leaned against the wall, raised her head and let out a long sigh of relief.
Why am I so nervous standing in front of Mu Tingxiao.
Aren't they just drinking from the same cup
Why did she feel like her heart was about to jump out of her chest
I don't feel like this when I usually spend time with Li Jiuheng.
Besides, how could a man like Mu Tingxiao, who had a cold personality and an illegitimate daughter, be better than Li Jiuheng
After a while, Mu Nuannuan calmed down her breathing and saw Li Jiuheng walking out of the elevator.
When Li Jiuheng saw her, he strode over and asked with concern: "Where are you going? I just came home and saw that your mobile phone and keys were there, so I went to the convenience store to ask."
Li Jiuheng and Mu Nuannuan are both outstanding-looking people. They go in and out of the community in pairs, and the owner of the convenience store at the entrance of the community already knows them.
Mu Nuannuan thought of the water glass and looked away guiltily: "I forgot to bring the key. I was at a neighbor's house just now."
Li Jiuheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "So careless? It seems that you really can't do it without me."
At this time, the door next to him opened.
Mu Nuannuan and Li Jiuheng both turned around and saw Li Jiuheng standing at the entrance wearing black home clothes.
Li Jiuheng, who was about to reach out to hold Mu Nuannuan, paused and said, "Mr. Mu."
"It turns out that Mr. Mu is our new neighbor."
She didn't know if it was Mu Nuannuan's illusion, but she felt that there was no surprise in Li Jiuheng's tone, but there was a hint of anticipation.
Mu Tingxiao crossed his arms and said indifferently: "I didn't expect to become your neighbor. It's a surprise."
"I hope we can get together if we have the opportunity. We have to go home for dinner first." Li Jiuheng said, smiling softly at Mu Nuannuan and holding her hand.
Mu Nuannuan curled her fingers, and Li Jiuheng could only hold the back of her hand.
This is a physiological rejection reaction. Every time Li Jiuheng has physical contact with her, her limbs will naturally produce a rejection reaction.
In the past, Li Jiuheng would let go in a gentlemanly manner at times like this.
But this time, as if he was deliberately trying to compete, not only did he not let go of Mu Nuannuan's hand, but he held it tighter.
Mu Tingxiao glanced at the hands held by the two of them, with inexplicable emotions flashing in his dark eyes, and said, "What a coincidence, we didn't eat either."
Mu Nuannuan asked in surprise: "You haven't eaten yet so late?"
It's almost nine o'clock, and they haven't had dinner yet.
Mu Tingxiao was fine as a grown man, but how could Mu Mu, who was so young, endure it
"Yeah." Mu Tingxiao responded lightly, with no trace of lying at all.
"Would you like to come and eat together? I have cooked several dishes."
As soon as Mu Nuannuan finished speaking, Mu Tingxiao said: "Okay."
His tone did not change, but because he answered so quickly, it gave people a feeling of impatientness.
After Mu Tingxiao finished speaking, he turned around and called into the room: "Mumu, it's time to eat."
Mu Mu ran over in slippers: "Didn't you eat already?"
Mu Tingxiao held her hand and said naturally, "That's lunch."
"But, before Uncle Shi Ye said..." Mu Mu still wanted to argue with him, Mu Tingxiao interrupted her: "Uncle Li and Aunt Mu invited us to dinner, what do you want to say?"
Mu Mu said obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Li, Aunt Mu..."
When she mentioned "Aunt Mu", she obviously hesitated.
The good-looking ones are all sisters, so how can we call them aunties
She looked at Mu Tingxiao and then at Mu Nuannuan, with a confused look on her face.
…
Mu Tingxiao took Mu Mu to Li Jiuheng's house to have a meal in an open and honest manner.
When Mu Nuannuan was serving the dishes, Li Jiuheng went to get the bowl.
Children love to join in the fun, and Mu Mu also made a fuss to help get the bowl.
Li Jiuheng handed the chopsticks to Mu Mu: "Please hold the chopsticks for me, okay?"
"Okay." Mu Mu smiled so hard that his eyes turned into crescent moons, and he placed the chopsticks on the dining table.
Li Jiuheng came over and touched her head: "That's great."
Mu Mu smiled at him, walked to Mu Tingxiao, climbed onto the chair and sat down.
Mu Nuannuan didn't have a children's dining chair at home, so Mu Mu had to sit on a chair.
Mu Mu crawled unsteadily, so Mu Tingxiao helped her up, and then asked: "What did I tell you yesterday?"
"What are you talking about?" Mu Tingxiao had said a lot to her. How could a child like her remember so much
Mu Tingxiao reminded her: "You can't talk to the weird aunt."
Mu Mu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Remember."
"For the same reason, you can't talk to Uncle Wei." When Mu Tingxiao said this, he glanced at Li Jiuheng.
The two people's eyes collided, neither giving in to the other.
Mu Nuannuan brought out the dishes and happened to hear Mu Tingxiao's words.
She keenly sensed that the atmosphere at the dinner table was abnormal.
The two men were still looking at each other, neither of them friendly. The hostility between them was so obvious that it was difficult for Mu Nuannuan to ignore it.
She glanced at Mu Mu and saw that Mu Mu was playing with her own chopsticks, and then she said, "You can eat now."
As soon as she spoke, the two men looked away at the same time, as if they had made an appointment.
Li Jiuheng brought food to Mu Nuannuan: "Eat more, you don't have to wait for me to eat so late in the future."
"I don't have much appetite to eat alone." Mu Nuannuan was talking while picking food for Mu Mu.
Mu Tingxiao glanced at the two people opposite him with an unpredictable expression, but did not move his chopsticks.
Mu Mu tilted her head and asked him very considerately: "Dad, what do you want to eat?"
