Ignoring the small episode of Mu Shi Yan, nothing special happened until the next day, New Year's Eve.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Mu Nuannuan took Mu Mu to bring the ingredients.
Mu Nuannuan put Mu Mu's favorite vegetables into the basket, and moved a small stool to Mu Mu in front of the sink so that she could wash the vegetables by herself.
Mu Nuannuan was standing in front of the sink washing vegetables, and the two of them talked from time to time.
Mu Mu seems to be a little smarter than before, but he still talks like a child, which is very cute.
While talking, Mu Mu suddenly asked Mu Nuannuan: "When will dad come? At night?"
When at home, Mu Tingxiao went to work in the company and usually came back at night, which made Mu Mu an inherent memory: Dad likes to appear at night.
Mu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, and then explained to Mu Mu: "No, he won't come. He has other things to be busy with."
"But, mom, you just said that you want everyone to be together during the New Year? Why doesn't dad come?" Mu Mu opened his eyes and looked at Mu Nuannuan with confusion on his face.
Mu Nuannuan fell silent. How should she explain to Mu Mu that she and Mu Tingxiao would no longer live together.
"For some reasons, my father and I will no longer live together. He and I are no longer a family." Mu Nuannuan wanted to explain to Mu Mu in simple words.
Mu Mu's little brows knitted together again. She thought for a moment and said, "Why are we not a family? Isn't he my father?"
Mu Nuannuan smiled and shook her head: "Of course Dad and you are a family. What I just said is that he and I are no longer a family."
Mu Mu nodded in understanding.
Mu Nuannuan thought she understood and accepted her statement.
But not long after, Mu Mu suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Nuannuan: "But dad loves you."
"What?" Mu Nuannuan never thought that Mu Mu would say such a thing.
"On TV, fathers love mothers."
Mu Nuannuan remembered that there was a time when Mu Mu liked to watch a domestic cartoon.
The phrase "Dad loves Mom" often appears in cartoons.
Before Mu Nuannuan could think of how to answer this question, Mu Mu continued: "Dad doesn't love you anymore? So you are no longer a family."
Mu Nuannuan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Mu Mu seemed to be right.
The world of children is very simple, and they only understand two ends of things.
Right and wrong, black and white.
"Yes, you..." The doorbell interrupted Mu Nuannuan's words.
Mu Mu's eyes lit up and he showed a big smile to Mu Nuannuan: "Dad is here!"
After saying that, he jumped off the stool and ran outside the kitchen to open the door.
"Mumu, slow down." Mu Nuannuan quickly followed her, fearing that she would fall if she ran too fast.
Mu Mu ran to the door, stood on tiptoe with great effort, and then touched the door handle. She turned the door handle hard and tried to open the door.
Mu Nuannuan looked on, feeling a little unbearable.
Mu Mu opened the door so happily because he thought Mu Tingxiao was here.
But the person outside the door is destined to not be Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Nuannuan couldn't bear Mu Mu's disappointment, but she could only watch Mu Mu be disappointed.
Mu Nuannuan could open the door lock with a slight twist. Mu Mu's small body almost hung on the door handle, and it took a long time to open the door.
The door opened a crack, Mu Mu's tiptoes were flat on the ground, and she tilted her head to look outside.
Mu Nuannuan was also curious about who was coming, and wanted to step forward and help Mu Mu open the door.
But before she could step forward, she saw Mu Mu froze on the spot for a moment, and then shouted happily: "Dad!"
There was a momentary blank in Mu Nuannuan's mind. Was it... Mu Tingxiao
After Mu Mu called "Dad", he opened the door wide, jumped directly on the man standing outside, and hugged his legs.
Mu Nuannuan looked at the man's handsome face and thought about a lot of things in her mind at the same time, but she stood still as if she didn't think about anything at all.
Mu Tingxiao leaned over and picked up Mu Mu. He held Mu Mu in his hands and weighed it as if weighing it. Then he curled his lips and showed a faint smile. His voice was gentle: "It's heavy again."
Mu Mu touched Mu Tingxiao's face with seriousness and said in a very serious tone: "You have lost weight."
What Mu Mu said was actually what Mu Nuannuan wanted to say.
Mu Tingxiao found a new love, so he should be very proud of himself. Why did he lose weight
He was thinner than the last time I saw him.
Mu Tingxiao originally lowered his head to talk to Mu Mu, but now he suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards Mu Nuannuan.
The moment before he raised his eyes to look over, Mu Nuannuan lowered her eyes to cover up the emotion in her eyes.
She took a step back, stood by the door, and said calmly: "Come in first, it's cold outside."
There was heating in the room, and neither she nor Mu Mu wore much clothes.
Mu Tingxiao took a deep look at Mu Nuannuan, hugged Mu Mu, and walked into the house.
Mu Nuannuan closed the door behind him and followed him.
After entering the room, Mu Mu struggled to slide off Mu Tingxiao: "I'm washing vegetables."
As she said this, she pulled Mu Tingxiao towards the kitchen.
Mu Tingxiao followed Mu Mu into the kitchen and saw the dishes in the sink and the small stool in front of him.
He had lived here for a while before and was very familiar with Mu Nuannuan.
"Mom washes more dishes than me, so help her." Mu Mu pointed to the unfinished dishes beside Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan came in just in time to hear Mu Mu's words. She stepped forward in two steps and quickly stood in front of the sink, blocking Mu Tingxiao's sight: "Would you like some water?"
"Yeah." Mu Tingxiao nodded.
"Okay, come out and I'll pour you some water." Mu Nuannuan turned to look at Mu Mu again: "I'll go out and pour some water for Dad. Be good and don't get your sleeves wet."
Mu Mu nodded confusedly: "Yes."
Mu Nuannuan was the first to leave the kitchen.
She walked to the window far away from the kitchen and made sure that Mu Mu couldn't see it and couldn't hear her talking to Mu Tingxiao, then she stopped.
She turned to look at Mu Tingxiao, who was following her, and said in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"
"Celebrating New Year's Eve." Mu Tingxiao stood in front of her, his tone calm, but it made Mu Nuannuan feel inexplicably flustered.
"Don't you have an appointment? At this time, you should spend New Year's Eve with Su Mian. What are you doing here?" As soon as the words came out, Mu Nuannuan wanted to bite her tongue.
Just talk, talk, what is Tisumian doing!
Afraid that Mu Tingxiao didn't know, was she paying attention to his movements
She was already prepared that Mu Tingxiao might laugh at her, but Mu Tingxiao didn't seem to have heard her mention Su Mian. He directly skipped the middle sentence and said, "I canceled my trip at the last minute and came to accompany her." Have a great New Year’s Eve.”
He directly skipped her Su Mian's sentence in the middle, which made Mu Nuannuan feel like he had given her a step up.
Even though she didn't want Mu Tingxiao to spend New Year's Eve here, he was already here. Mu Mu was very happy. She wanted to spend New Year's Eve with Mu Mu...
