Mu Nuannuan didn't stay at Li Jiuheng's house for long before she left.
Before leaving, she went to his study to look again, but found no useful clues.
She ran back and forth all morning, and when she got home, it was almost noon.
Although Mu Tingxiao said before that he would not come back for lunch, Mu Nuannuan still cooked lunch herself.
If Mu Tingxiao doesn't come back to eat, she and Mu Mu will still have to eat.
As a result, when she had finished cooking and was sitting with Mu Mu eating together, the servant's voice came from outside.
"The young master is back!"
"Have you eaten? Master."
Mu Nuannuan heard the sound and looked up towards the door of the restaurant.
Mu Mu, who was sitting next to her, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "Dad is back!"
Mu Nuannuan touched her head.
Although Mu Tingxiao didn't smile much and was a bit fierce to Mu Mu, Mu Mu still liked him very much.
Not long after, a tall figure appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Mu Tingxiao walked straight towards the dining table and sat down directly opposite Mu Nuannuan.
"Dad." Mu Mu called him happily, with the honey chicken wing soup still smeared on the corner of his mouth, which looked very painful.
Mu Tingxiao responded and said calmly: "Wipe your mouth."
"Oh." Mu Mu took a piece of paper from the box and put it on his mouth randomly for a while.
She took off the paper towel, looked at the honey-yellow soup on the paper, said "Huh", and threw the paper towel aside in disgust.
When Mu Tingxiao saw that she hadn't wiped herself clean, he took out a tissue, leaned forward slightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Come over yourself."
Mu Mu propped her little arms on the dining table, stretched her neck and pushed her little head forward, pouting and letting Mu Tingxiao wipe her mouth.
Mu Tingxiao wiped her carefully and threw the tissue aside.
At this time, a servant had already brought him food.
When he picked up the chopsticks, he saw Mu Nuannuan staring at him.
A look of discomfort quickly flashed across Mu Tingxiao's face, and then he said softly: "I came out to discuss cooperation. I happened to be close to home, so I came back for dinner."
His expression had already given him away. Mu Nuannuan naturally knew that he was just making up a random reason, but she didn't expose him and even reached out to pick up some food for him: "Eat more."
Mu Tingxiao lowered his head and started eating.
When Mu Mu saw Mu Nuannuan picking up vegetables for Mu Tingxiao, he also picked up a piece of green onion for cooking and handed it to Mu Tingxiao.
"Dad, eat vegetables."
Mu Tingxiao glanced at her: "I don't eat this dish."
Mu Mu frowned and said in an old-fashioned way: "Mom said you can't be picky about food."
Mu Tingxiao asked her: "Aren't you picky about food?"
Mu Mu shook his head.
A subtle smile appeared on Mu Tingxiao's lips: "Then you eat it first and show it to me."
"Okay." Mu Mu stuffed the green onion into his mouth without hesitation, so fast that Mu Nuannuan had no time to stop it.
However, she only chewed it once and then spat it out.
"Wow...what is it? It's so spicy..."
Mu Nuannuan glared at Mu Tingxiao angrily, filled Mu Mu's bowl with a few spoons of soup, and handed it to her to drink.
Mu Mu held the bowl and finished the drink.
Then he looked at Mu Tingxiao with his lips pursed.
Mu Nuannuan brought her some food: "Eat a piece of meat."
While Mu Mu was cooking, she glanced at Mu Tingxiao. After a while, she looked very understanding and pointed at the piece of green onion that she spat out on the dining table and said, "You can't eat this, it's spicy."
Mu Tingxiao finally responded: "Yes."
Mu Nuannuan and Mu Mu ate first. After she finished eating, she took Mu Mu out.
By the time Mu Tingxiao came out after eating, Mu Mu had fallen asleep, and Mu Nuannuan was about to carry her upstairs for a nap.
Mu Tingxiao came over, took Mu Mu from her arms without saying a word, and walked upstairs.
He carried Mu Mu to the bed, and Mu Nuannuan stepped forward to take off Mu Mu's coat and cover her with a quilt.
Then, the two left Mu Mu's room together.
The two of them walked downstairs side by side, and Mu Nuannuan said aloud: "I went to Li Jiuheng's house before, and there were signs of fighting in his house."
Mu Tingxiao didn't say anything and still walked downstairs.
He seemed unwilling to talk more about Li Jiuheng.
He hated Li Jiuheng, but he would still help her secretly find out about Li Jiuheng.
When he arrived in the hall, Mu Nuannuan stopped him: "Mu Tingxiao."
Mu Tingxiao turned around to look at her, his expression indifferent.
She curved her lips and smiled and said, "Thank you."
Mu Tingxiao's temperament in the past was a bit arrogant and unruly. He would never deal with anyone he didn't like.
He hated Li Jiuheng, but because he knew in his heart that Li Jiuheng had indeed saved Mu Nuannuan, he did not sit idly by.
He actually understands very well in his heart, but sometimes people will inevitably reach dead ends and get into trouble.
Mu Tingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Thank you for what? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already started having children?"
"Marriage? To be more precise, are we remarried?" Mu Nuannuan walked up to him. Seeing that his tie was a little off, she wanted to reach out and straighten his tie.
But he suddenly took a step back.
Mu Nuannuan's face turned stern, she reached out and grabbed his tie, and said with an unhappy expression, "Will you try to retreat again?"
Mu Tingxiao glanced at her, then looked down at her hand that was holding her tie. Because her hand was clenched so hard, the joints were prominent and her hand looked smaller.
Mu Tingxiao raised his hand and slowly covered her hand. It seemed that he didn't use much force or hurt her, and he pulled her hand away very lightly.
After Mu Tingxiao pulled her hand away, he asked her, "Is this domestic violence?"
Mu Nuannuan: "..."
"Let's get down to business." Mu Tingxiao straightened his expression: "Some of my subordinates found the information before and sent it to my mailbox. I have already read it."
Mu Tingxiao took out his phone, dug out the email he had just received in his mailbox, and handed it to Mu Nuannuan to read.
Mu Nuannuan took a cursory look and finally fixed her gaze on a name.
"Li Jiuxuan (cang)?" Mu Nuannuan looked up at Mu Tingxiao: "He and Li Jiuheng are really twin brothers."
Mu Tingxiao turned around and sat down on the sofa, and said slowly: "Li Jiuheng and Li Jiuxuan were originally from Huyang City, but when they were young, their parents died in an accident. At that time, an overseas Chinese adopted them. He took them to live abroad, but there is very little information about the Chinese who adopted them."
Mu Nuannuan frowned slightly: "It's not difficult to understand. Li Jiuheng's identity is so difficult to find out, not to mention the person who adopted them, their adoptive father, must be a powerful person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to... And the identities of Li Jiuheng and Li Jiuxuan are so well hidden."
