"Achoo!" Mu Dongfang rubbed his nose. He had always been in good health and rarely had a cold, but he didn't know why he suddenly sneezed.

"Dong Zi, have you caught a cold?" Jiang Lanying, who was reading the newspaper, asked in concern when she heard the commotion.

Mu Dong put down the newspaper and looked at Jiang Lanying. "Mom, I'm fine. Not eating at home at night. "

Upon hearing Mu Dongdong's words, Jiang Lanying's interest was piqued. "You made an appointment with Wei Meng?"

"Yes." Mu Dongfang replied.

"It's getting late, hurry up and go. "Hurry up." Jiang Lanying urged.

Mu Dong helplessly put down the teacup in his hand and shouted, "Mom!"

"What mother?" Let me tell you, Mu Dong, you should be thirty this year. Our courtyard is about the same age as yours, and our children will be running all over the ground. You two brothers are already this old, and yet you still let me worry about you guys. Tell me, is there a son like you? " Jiang Lanying complained.

Mu Dongfang rarely went out during his vacation. He spent most of his time at home with Jiang Lanying, making up for the lack of mother and son time he had with her during the past six years. In his heart, Mu Dong also understood the painstaking efforts of his mother, Jiang Lanying. Therefore, he did not act so coldly towards Wei Meng, who Jiang Lanying had taken a fancy to.

However, in Jiang Lanying's eyes, Mu Dong was not active enough. Just think about it, if they were really dating, there were only couples who would feel that they didn't have enough time to spend with each other, but no one had ever heard of the couple not seeing each other for days in a row.

It was as if three years had passed since they last saw each other.

But why were the two of them progressing so slowly?

Mu Dongfang stood up and looked at Jiang Lanying, who was still sitting on the sofa. "Alright, mother. I will go upstairs to change my clothes now. Is that alright?"

"Why aren't you going?"

"Yes sir!" Mu Dongdong stood at attention, saluted, and went upstairs.

The man in the mirror had a well-defined face and green stubble on his chin, adding to his masculinity. Mu Dongfang was wearing a light blue shirt with a pair of smoke-colored slacks, making him look even more masculine. It was clearly a familiar face, but he felt that it was a bit unfamiliar.

After packing up properly and seeing that it was getting late, Mu Dongfang left the house.

The Wrangler had lent the car to Uncle Jiang Silan, so Mu Zexi left the car for Mu Dongdong to use. However, looking at the coquettish red sports car, Mu Dongdong frowned. It was a limited edition sports car. However, this car really suited brother Mu Zexi's taste.

Mu Dongfang was already considering if he should go out in the car.

Just as he was about to get on the car, he heard Jiang Lanying's voice from behind him, "Dong Zi!"

Mu Dongdong turned around and saw Jiang Lanying standing in the doorway.

"Let's go home later, there's no rush!"

Mu Dongfang's lips moved, but he didn't say anything. His frown deepened.

After watching the sports car leave the courtyard, Jiang Lanying then entered the house in satisfaction. She had already made up her mind that no matter what, she would let her son settle down. No matter what her son had done, no matter how much he loved Cheng Su, it was all in the past now. She would not let her son indulge in the past forever. This was not the style of the Mu Family. She believed that her son would be able to walk out of the past. She was confident.

It was the peak period for getting off work. In the midst of the long traffic, the sportscar was moving very slowly.

When the phone rang, Mu Dongdong was stuck on the viaduct.

"East!" Wei Meng's clear and melodious voice came over the phone.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam."

In the office, Weimeng was leaning back in her chair, holding the phone in one hand, legs crossed. Her high heels dangled on her feet, gently swaying with her body.

Mu Dongfang's low voice was very pleasant, very much like the bass voice on the radio.

"No rush, take it slow. I'll wait for you." Wei Meng's gorgeous face revealed a slight smile as he lowered his voice.

"Yes."

Mu Dong replied in a low voice and did not say anything else. The surroundings were filled with cars. Outside the window, a driver impatiently honked his horn. A trace of annoyance appeared in Mu Dongdong's heart. He raised his hand and pressed the button. The sportscar slowly rose up, isolating him from the outside world.

The seven-inch black high heels lightly swayed on the woman's feet, unable to fall off. Was it her exposed ankle, which reflected a shocking curve, moving up her ankle. It was a pair of beautiful calves with smooth lines.

Wei Meng held the phone in her hand. Her delicately drawn fingers gently caressed the desk. She quietly listened to the phone, but was in no hurry to speak. She quietly waited, as if she wanted to hear what the other party had to say first.

Mu Dong was very polite and did not hang up. He took the phone from his ear and pressed the hands-free button. Then, he placed the phone on the counter.

"East?" A woman's voice finally came out of the phone.

"Yes." The road in front of him was still blocked. Mu Dongdong's mind was filled with the thought of not eating tonight's meal at all. He must not have any appetite at all. However, when he thought of the look in his mother's eyes when he left, Mu Dongfang's mouth could not hold any longer.

"East, what are you busy with today?" However, Wei Meng had a yearning to continue chatting like this. During this period of time, her work was not very leisurely, and regarding the preparation of the Northwest Group Branch, the HR Department had taken on too much work. There were even rumors saying that she would become the head of the branch. With regards to this, Wei Meng simply laughed it off and did not make any rash decisions.

Compared to becoming the head of the branch company, Wei Meng was thinking more about how to take this man under his command as soon as possible.

For the first time ever, Wei Meng, who had always been in love, felt a deep sense of defeat in front of Mu Dongfang. This was the first time in his life that a man had given birth to Wei Meng's determination to spend his life with him. However, there was a faint sense of worry in her heart, as if she couldn't make sense of this man and didn't know what he was thinking.

Wei Meng had always been patient with people and things that were worth it. However, she had already taken the initiative. Would she really send herself straight to the door?

However, if the opponent was Mu Dongdong, Wei Meng felt that he could consider sending himself to his doorstep directly.

This man was destined to belong to her! No one could take away her man!

"Clean up." A short four words.

The woman's clear laughter resounded through the carriage. Mu Dongdong's annoyance increased, and he really didn't have the patience to continue talking to Wei Meng.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard Wei Meng say, "Dong Fang, since you're so diligent, I won't have to worry about no one else doing housework in the future!"

A certain prawn has something to say:

Shrimp still likes Mu Dongdong, although, the uncle is also very good.

When he was buying vegetables at the market, Xia Mu was thinking that Jiang Si Ran rarely came back so he bought a lot of dishes. He picked out some dishes that Jiang Si Ran liked to eat when he was young.

As he prepared in the kitchen, Xia Mu thought to himself, It's been so many years since I last saw him, I wonder if his taste has changed.

There was a small pond in the courtyard, and when Xia Mu shouted for dinner to start, Nannan and Baby ran over to wash their hands while Jiang Si Ran followed. After washing his hands, he set up the small table and the chair. He felt that the room was extremely crowded.

Jiang Si Ran looked around the room. Due to the years of disrepair, the original color of the walls could no longer be seen. The mottled walls were stuck to the walls with newspaper.

In order to save space, the dining tables could be folded. When they were not in use, they would be placed against the wall. Only then would they be opened for use when necessary.

Even though Xia Mu had an ordinary family background since he was young, his living environment was still far worse than it was in the past. Jiang Si Ran made up his mind. In the next few days, he would make this girl move out of this place no matter what!

"Big brother, what are you standing there for?" Xia Mu asked curiously as he held a plate in his hands and looked at the man standing by the table with his back towards him.

Jiang Si Ran turned around and naturally took the plate from Xia Mu. After placing it on the table, he exclaimed, "How fragrant!"

Xia Mu gave a bright smile and said complacently: "Of course. "Big brother, you have to eat everything I've done tonight!"

"No problem!" Jiang Si Ran made a guarantee.

The small round table, Jiang Si Ran and Xia Mu, plus the two children had just enough space for the four of them to sit down.

Xia Mu first gave some food to Nannan and the baby before placing a piece of Red Braised Meat into the bowl in front of Jiang Si Ran. He smiled and said, "Brother, try it!" His big eyes were full of pride.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Si Ran picked up the piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

With a mouthful of fragrance, he finished the bowl with a smile on his face. He didn't feel satisfied yet as he brought the bowl over to Xia Mu, not saying anything and waited for Xia Mu's action.

With a smile, Xia Mu picked up another piece, two pieces, three pieces and placed them into the bowl. Jiang Si Ran then took back his wrist in satisfaction and started to gobble down the food.

Nannan was eating the food in her bowl with her chopsticks but her eyes were focused on the adults' movements. Seeing Xia Mu give Jiang Si Ran food, the little brat brought the bowl over and said, "Mama, I also want to eat Red Braised Meat!"

"Isn't there more in the bowl?" Xia Mu looked at the dishes in his daughter's bowl and didn't eat much.

"Mom gave it to uncle, I want it too!"

"Then Uncle will give Nannan a clip, okay?"

"That's fine too, but you still have to give the baby a clip!" Since she was young, her baby's health has not been good. As an elder sister, Nannan believes that even if there is something good, she must have a part of her brother!

"Thank you, uncle." Seeing Jiang Si Ran put the dishes in his bowl, the baby politely thanked him with a smile on his face.

The two children chatted with Jiang Si Ran as they ate. Xia Mu basically didn't interrupt them, instead, he busied himself preparing the dishes, while Jiang Si Ran, while accompanying the children, didn't miss a single movement of Xia Mu. Xia Mu sat opposite him, quietly eating his food, occasionally speaking a word or two.

The laughter of the children, accompanied by the night wind and the scent of the gardenia, spread far and wide …
