Mu Tingxiao allowed Mu Mu to hit him a few times, then reached out and grabbed Mu Mu's hand.
Mu Mu's little brows furrowed even more, and he was about to lose control.
Mu Tingxiao turned his head and kissed Mu Mu on the face: "Call daddy."
Mu Mu surprisingly became quiet. Although he still resisted a little, it was not as intense as before.
Mu Nuannuan looked at Mu Tingxiao with surprise.
She didn't expect Mu Tingxiao's trick to be effective.
Although Mu Mu didn't call him daddy, he was much better than before.
Mu Nuannuan saw fear in Mu Mu's eyes.
Mu Tingxiao was a strict father, and Mu Mu had always been fond of and afraid of him. The fear was deep in her bones. Even now, she was still a little afraid of Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao put Mu Mu back on the bed: "Sleep."
As soon as Mu Mu got on the bed, he got under the quilt and looked at Mu Tingxiao warily.
The little one looks particularly pitiful.
Mu Nuannuan softened her heart, pulled Mu Tingxiao's arm, and whispered: "Otherwise, you should go out."
"I'm not going out." Mu Tingxiao glanced at Mu Nuannuan and sat down by the bed.
As soon as Mu Mu saw Mu Tingxiao approaching, he immediately retreated into the quilt and disappeared completely.
Mu Tingxiao pulled back the quilt, revealing Mu Mu's head.
Mu Mu wanted to shrink in, but Mu Tingxiao simply held her down.
Mu Mu couldn't move, and stared at Mu Tingxiao like a shackled little beast.
But it's not fierce at all.
In the end, Mu Mu fell asleep because it was too late.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning when Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao came out of Mu Mu's room.
The late night was tiring, but neither of them felt sleepy.
Mu Nuannuan closed the door with her backhand. Before she could say anything, she heard the sound of opening the door on the other side.
She followed the sound and saw Mu Jinyun opening the door and walking out.
Mu Jinyun was wearing a large and wide coat, which made her look even thinner.
Mu Nuannuan noticed that Mu Jinyun was wearing a hood, but it was not as neatly put on as it was during the day. It looked like she put it on in a hurry.
She guessed that Mu Jinyun might have put it on again after knowing that Mu Tingxiao was coming.
The two siblings, Mu Jinyun and Mu Tingxiao...
Mu Nuannuan sighed inaudibly and turned to look at Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Jinyun walked closer, her eyes swept over the two of them, and finally landed on Mu Tingxiao, and she just said softly: "Here we come."
Mu Tingxiao had no expression on his face and only responded: "Yes."
Mu Jinyun seemed to want to say something else, but maybe it was because Mu Tingxiao's expression was so cold that she didn't say anything more later.
"You and Mu Nuannuan can sleep together. We have all the things you used when you came here last time." After Mu Jinyun said that, she turned around and prepared to go back to the room.
However, when she walked to the door, she seemed to remember something, and turned around and asked: "It takes several hours to come from Huyang City. Did you come here right after get off work? Have you had dinner?"
Although Mu Jinyun was asking Mu Tingxiao, her eyes were looking at Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan understood that Mu Jinyun was speaking to her.
When Mu Tingxiao arrived here, it was already very late, and Mu Nuannuan had no extra thoughts to think about other things at that time. Naturally, it is even less possible to pay attention to whether Mu Tingxiao has had dinner.
After Mu Jinyun finished speaking, she said "I'm going to bed first" and left Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao in the corridor.
Mu Nuannuan asked Mu Tingxiao: "Did you not have dinner?"
Before Mu Tingxiao could answer, Mu Nuannuan said: "Come with me, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."
She knew Mu Tingxiao's temper very well.
Shi Ye told her Mu Mu's address, knowing that if Mu Tingxiao found out about this, he would lose his temper.
Therefore, Shi Ye most likely took the initiative to tell Mu Tingxiao.
As soon as Mu Tingxiao knew about this, he would definitely drive over if he was still in the mood for dinner.
Mu Nuannuan took Mu Tingxiao to the kitchen, found some eggs and carrots in the refrigerator, and planned to make egg fried rice for Mu Tingxiao.
The kitchen and dining room are connected.
While Mu Nuannuan was making fried rice for him, Mu Tingxiao sat at the dining table and looked at her.
After the fried rice was ready, Mu Nuannuan cooked him a simple vegetable soup.
Except for onions, Mu Tingxiao is not picky about food either. After Mu Nuannuan brought it to him, he buried his head and started eating.
I was so happy that I ate nothing.
Mu Nuannuan sat opposite Mu Tingxiao and felt a little sad inexplicably as she watched him eating a plate of fried rice with a spoon.
If Mu Tingxiao was not with her, he would have no weakness. It would not be like this now, driving for several hours in a windy and dusty car in the middle of the night to get to a place like this.
If he had no weaknesses, he would still be the aloof young master of the Mu family.
No one can touch him.
And she and Mu Mu became Mu Tingxiao's weaknesses.
Seeing Mu Tingxiao finish his meal, Mu Nuannuan called out in a low voice: "Mu Tingxiao."
"What?" Mu Tingxiao glanced at her, stood up, picked up his empty plate, and said, "I'll take the plate to the kitchen first."
He said, pulling out his chair and walking towards the kitchen.
Possibly due to Mu Mu's influence, when Mu Nuannuan was renting out to live outside, Mu Mu would pull Mu Tingxiao to collect and put away the bowls together, which made Mu Tingxiao develop a habit.
When there were no servants around and they were the only ones cooking and eating, Mu Tingxiao developed the habit of collecting the bowls by himself.
Mu Nuannuan followed Mu Tingxiao into the kitchen with her eyes.
After Mu Tingxiao went in, he did not just throw the plate in the sink and come out. Instead, he bent slightly, washed the plate and put it aside, and then returned to the restaurant.
The two sat facing each other, feeling rare and calm.
Mu Nuannuan asked him: "Did you scold Assistant Shi again?"
Speaking of Shiye, Mu Tingxiao frowned slightly: "If I don't scold him, should I still praise him?"
Listen to this tone of voice that hates iron but cannot be transformed into steel...
"I forced him, don't blame him. Besides, if you are willing to tell me, should I force him?" Mu Nuannuan's tone contained a hint of reproach.
Mu Tingxiao's lips tightened and he didn't make a sound.
"Mu Tingxiao, something big happened to Mu Mu, and you still want to hide it from me. What do you think of me? When can you face our family relationship? I'm not just Mu Nuannuan, I'm not that Mu Nuannuan needs your protection all the time. I am still your wife, and I can share your worries. I am also Mu Mu’s mother, I care about everything about her, and everything about her is also related to me. "
After Mu Nuannuan finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She had wanted to say these words to Mu Tingxiao for a long time.
But he always couldn't listen.
After a long time, Mu Tingxiao said: "But, in my heart, you are just Mu Nuannuan."
