C113

At the end of the birthday banquet, Mu Dongfang originally wanted to fetch Xia Mu and go back to the apartment together. But who knew that he rarely came back, so he made up his mind that he wouldn't let him go so easily.

"Mm, I understand. I'll go back by myself. It's fine, don't worry." Xia Mu said into the phone with a smile.

After ending the call, Xia Mu packed his stuff, and Huanhuan specially prepared a cake for Xia Mu to take home for the children to eat. Xia Mu happily accepted it.

By the time he got back to the apartment, it was already almost 2 P.M. Xia Mu put down the cake and received a call from the decorating worker saying that he was preparing the floor tiles today, but the shop next door was not allowed to be constructed.

Hearing that, Xia Mu hurriedly took his bag and left the apartment.

On the way, she had originally wanted to call Mu Dongfang, but then she thought that he should be having a gathering with his friends right now. It wasn't good for her to disturb him like this. Besides, he couldn't rely on him for everything.

When Xia Mu rushed to the shop, the owner of the shop next door was holding a shovel and was about to risk his life to fight the workers. There was a circle of people surrounding them, pointing and talking.

"Big Brother, calm down first!" Xia Mu squeezed his way in and said with a smile.

"You're the owner of this shop?" Next door to the shop was a man in his early forties. He was tall and sturdy with a fierce-looking face.

With the attitude of not hitting a smiling person, that man was speaking amiably to Xia Mu.

"Yes, this shop is mine. Big brother, if you have any business, we can talk properly."

Things were not that complicated. Next door was a small shop that sold daily necessities, and during the past few days, when Xia Mu's snack bar was being renovated, the workers probably didn't notice. When they were unloading the floor tiles in the afternoon, they knocked over the next stall, and after a short disagreement, they started quarreling.

The door next door was blocked, preventing the workers from starting their work, so they had to give an explanation. Helpless, the foreman called Xia Mu.

Xia Mu spoke good words and apologized, placing all the blame on his side. That man saw the sincerity in Xia Mo's tone and didn't pursue the matter any further.

The commotion vanished into thin air.

"I say, just because your temper is too good, you should beat him up when he's being unreasonable." The one who spoke was a young worker, who was indignant.

Xia Mu smiled and said, "We're all neighbors, we can't meet even if we were to raise our heads, so we shouldn't make a scene."

"Alright, let's begin." the foreman ordered.

When Wang Lan Lan Lan called, Xia Mu was helping the workers with the floor tiles.

"Lan Lan." Breathing heavily, Xia Mu picked up the phone.

"What are you doing?" Wang Lan Lan asked loudly as she heard Xia Mu's voice.

"I'm helping out at the store." Xia Mu replied as he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Wang Lan Lan knew that Xia Mu had found a shop and was preparing to open a snack bar.

"You have something to talk to me about?"

"We have a job tonight, are you coming?" After some thought, Wang Lan Lan still asked.

Xia Mu stood up, holding the phone in his hand as he looked at the road outside the door. He didn't answer immediately.

"Forget it, it's better if you don't come over. Just live your life properly." Wang Lan Lan felt that she shouldn't have made this call. The current Xia Mu already had someone by his side to take care of him, so he couldn't get involved in her life anymore.

"Lan Lan." Xia Mu called out, asking in a low voice: "What time?"

Xia Mu thought that this was the last time. Although her life was on the right track, she still needed money. After all, the baby's illness was still weighing on her heart.

Your son seems to have a girlfriend

After arranging to meet with Wang Lan Lan Lan Lan in the evening, Xia Mu cleaned up and went to the kindergarten to pick up the children.

On the way back, Xia Mu told the two children that he was going out at night, leaving them alone at home.

The children didn't have any objections to this. Usually, when Xia Mu needed to go to work, the children would stay at home by themselves. Compared to the courtyard, this apartment seemed much safer.

Just as they were about to leave, Nannan asked, "Mom, are you going to play with your uncle?"

Xia Mu smiled and asked, "No, Mom is going to work."

"Oh. Then come back early. " Nannan tactfully said.

"Mom knows that you and Baby are at home. Be good and don't open the door even if someone is knocking." Xia Mu explained.

"I know, hurry up and go. Don't be late!"

The two children kissed separately on Xia Mu's lips, and Xia Mu gave them another hug before opening the door and leaving the apartment.

"Baby, what are you going to do?" In the living room, Nannan sat on the sofa and asked.

"Reading." The baby was sitting on the sofa with a fairy tale book in his hands, seriously reading it.

Nannan lifted her chin and said: "Then take your time, I'll go call Little Fatty Su!"

The baby raised his head from the book and looked at Nannan with his long and thin eyes as he asked, "Have you guys made up?"

Nannan curled her lips and said, "He took the initiative to apologize to me, so I will forgive him!"

The baby gave a "sister you really childish" expression, and then buried himself in the book of fairy tales.

Nannan excitedly picked up the phone and pressed Little Fatty Su's number.

In the Su family, Shen Jie was preparing dinner in the kitchen after a rare morning shift when the phone rang.

"Su Xing, help me answer the call." Shen Jie shouted.

As soon as he said that, a small figure rushed over and picked up the phone.

"Hello." The hand holding the microphone felt like it was sweating.

Su Xing was in the living room reading a book when he heard his wife's instructions. Just as he was about to pick up the phone, his son snatched the phone away from him.

Su Xing looked at his son who was standing next to the phone. He picked up the phone and called softly, "Nannan!"

It was unknown what the other person said. Su Xing only heard his son happily saying into the microphone, "I'm worried that you'll call. You've been guarding this side of the phone call!"

"Aiya, your mom is out. If you're alone, don't be afraid. How about I accompany you!"

"Oh, but I'm worried about the baby!"

"Nannan, I have yet to learn the song teacher taught me today. Can you sing it for me?"

"Okay, Nannan, see you tomorrow."

"Mm, I'll hang up after you hang up."

Actually, when his son said the first sentence, Su Xing really did not feel anything. However, the more he listened, the stranger he felt.

With no time to read any more, Su Xing stared at his son. As he listened to his son's childish voice, he couldn't help but feel that something was off.

Fatty Su put down the phone as he watched his old man scrutinize him.

The little guy grinned and asked, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Little Fatty Su, come here, let's talk." Su Xing pointed to the sofa and said seriously.

Fatty Su sat down and asked with a smile, "What do you want to ask?"

"That call just now, who was it?"

"My wife!" The little guy proudly said.

Three black lines appeared on Su Xing's forehead. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a word from his son. "Father, wait for this weekend. I'll bring her back to see you. You must make time!"

In the kitchen, Shen Jie was busy cooking. Su Xing's words almost made her drop the spatula in her hands.

"What did you say?"

"Your son seems to have a girlfriend now!" These were Su Xing's exact words.

"Ugh …"

The couple looked at each other in dismay. They only felt that their current child matured too quickly.

However, this childhood sweetheart should be pretty good.

Chapter 355 - Have we met before

In the locker room, Wang Lan Lan took an eyebrow pencil and faced the mirror, meticulously drawing.

Xia Mu changed into a summer dress and looked at himself in the mirror. He pulled his sleeves a little uncomfortably and asked, "How did this outfit end up like this?"

Wang Lan looked at herself in the mirror and answered lazily, "How much can you expect to be able to cover your summer clothes?"

Compared to the qipao from before, the clothes today were sleeveless. Xia Mu's two arms were completely exposed to the air, and the qipao had almost started diverging at the thighs. Just by standing there, one could vaguely see the scenery inside.

Xia Mu tried taking a few steps and realized that his steps were already very small.

"Lan Lan, I …" Xia Mu felt a little fear in his heart.

Wang Lan Lan had already drawn her eyebrows. The slender brush in her white hands looked more and more like the captivating red of her fingernails.

"Forget it, I don't think you should go today." Wang Lan Lan looked at Xia Mu with her delicate eyebrows as she spoke indifferently.

Xia Mu took a deep breath, and pursed his lips, as though he had made up his mind. He opened his mouth and said, "Let's go."

As he got busy, Xia Mu forgot about the discomfort his clothes brought her.

"Xia Mu, from the top floor."

"Alright." Xia Mu took the tray and walked to the top floor.

When he went up to the second floor, he coincidentally met Wang Lan.

"How is it?" Xia Mu asked with a smile.

Wang Lan shook the wine list in her hand and said with a smile, "Not bad." The guests were all very generous tonight. Wang Lan Lan didn't put in much effort and earned quite a bit of tips. The rent for the next month had already been paid.

"Go for it!" Xia Mu looked at Wang Lan Lan Lan Lan and made a cheering gesture.

Wang Lan Lan gave a "OK". The two girls cheered each other on before separating again.

The top floor was resplendent with gold and jade. The corridors were covered with thick carpets while Xia Mu walked on them in his high heels without making a single sound.

Looking at the end of the thick sandalwood door, Xia Mu suddenly sounded the day he met Mu Dongdong.

He vaguely remembered that day, he seemed to be in a bad mood. He drank a lot of alcohol, recognized the wrong person, and offended himself.

After that, after their relationship, Xia Mu didn't ask about what had happened that day. It was as if Mu Dongfang had forgotten about what had happened that day.

Carrying the tray, Xia Mu walked towards the end of the corridor at a moderate pace.

Just as he passed by a private room, the door was pulled open by someone and a man walked out.

Following the principle of being the guest first, Xia Mu consciously moved to the side, lowering his head.

Mu Zexi felt a little dizzy. She had drunk a few cups of wine just now. Those fellows did not have any way to deal with them, so she decided to let him drink instead.

After finally getting a chance to take a breath of air, Muzzlesi was ready to go and sober up.

Just as he stepped out of the room, he saw a shadow flash past. It seemed to be a waiter wearing a qipao.

"That, do you have water?" Mu Zexi's slender fingers lightly touched the spot between his eyebrows as she asked.

Xia Mu Ben lowered his head and heard the question. He felt that this person's voice was a bit familiar, so he didn't think too much and raised his head. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the man drop his hand and look over.

Their eyes met, and Xia Mu almost flipped the tray in his hands.

Mu Zexi looked at the young girl and asked curiously, "Have we met before?"

Shrimp had something to say: Have we met before?
