In the courtyard, after Jiang Si Ran had led the two children to wash their hands, Xia Mu was clearing the table. Under the incandescent light, the dishes on the table were stacked together. The girl slightly bent her waist as she wiped the table. The bottom of her white T-shirt was bent due to the movement of her waist.

Jiang Si Ran walked over quietly with both of his hands in his pockets. His slender eyes were narrowed as he silently stood behind Xia Mu.

After wiping the table clean, Xia Mu picked up the bowl, turned around and ran into an embrace. Xia Mu jumped in fright, "Brother, what are you doing!?"

Jiang Si Ran narrowed his eyes and took half a step back. He bent his waist and looked at Xia Mu as his lazy voice sounded out, "Little Mo Er, do you need my help?"

Xia Mu glared at Jiang Si Ran and said, "No need, I only have a few bowls at home, and it's not enough for you to overturn it!"

Xia Mu said this because he had a history. He remembered that when Jiang Si Ran was young, he would often go to his house to get his food. After dinner, he would always rush to wash the dishes, but every time, he would either break a plate or break a bowl. After a few tries, Grandma Xia no longer dared to let Jiang Si Ran into the kitchen.

Jiang Si Ran listened to Xia Mu Yi's words. The happy times of the past were still vivid in his mind. Jiang Si Ran had his mother, Grandma Xia and Xia Mu. Although his father didn't exist, his days were still happy.

But good times are always so short. When the man who claimed to be his father appeared, Jiang Si Ran's world underwent a tremendous change.

Xia Mu carried the bowl into the kitchen. Jiang Si Ran followed suit and said, "Little Mo'er, trust me, I won't throw the bowl again."

Xia Mu put the bowl and dish into the basin, twisted open the water LONG head, took out the cloth, and said: "Forget it, I don't believe you! Grandma already said that this kitchen is not a place where you can come from! "

Standing beside Xia Mu, Jiang Si Ran smiled at him and said, "We'll go see Grandmother this weekend."

Xia Mu's hands moved quickly, and the dishes in her hands became as clean as they were before. Hearing Jiang Si Ran's suggestion, Xia Mu immediately agreed and replied with a smile, "I think Grandmother will be very happy to see you!"

After cleaning everything up, the two returned to the house. Nannan and the baby were sitting in a chair and Nannan was holding a book and saying something to the baby.

"Nannan, baby, come here." Jiang Si Ran shouted.

The two children walked over and Nannan asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

As if he was performing a magic trick, Jiang Si Ran took out a few bags from behind him and squatted down to look at the two children: "This doll is for Nannan and this car is for the baby." Jiang Si Ran took out the toys in the bag and placed them one by one in front of the children.

These toys were all things that children liked. When the two children saw this, their eyes lit up. However, the two children both turned to Xia Mu at the same time, as if asking for Xia Mu's opinion on whether or not they should accept these things.

Xia Mu laughed as he squatted down, softly saying, "Still not thanking uncle."

"Thank you, uncle." Nannan thanked him and also gave him a kiss.

"Thank you, uncle." The baby was not as generous and shy as her sister, but she said thank you softly.

"Good girl!" Jiang Si Ran carried the two children in his arms and said with a smile, "Come, uncle will play with you!"

Looking at the happy children, Xia Mu couldn't help but feel the corners of his eyes moisten. In order to grow healthy with these two children, no matter how much suffering they suffered, she would endure. But as the children grew older, Xia Mu became more and more worried about the children asking her who her father was. Jiang Silan's appearance had given the children their best companionship.

"Big brother, thank you …" Xia Mu chanted silently.

Because of the new toys, Nannan and the baby were so excited that they did not want to sleep. In the end, Xia Mu said whatever he wanted and the two children still unwillingly went to bed.

"Let them play a little longer." Jiang Si Ran couldn't bear to hear this.

"No, I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow. Xia Nannan, what do you think it is? You are an elder sister so how can you be an example to your younger brother? " Xia Mu looked at his daughter, who was playing with a doll, and said.

Nannan hugged the doll that was wearing a pink princess dress but did not let go as she said in a soft child's voice: "Then, can I hug the doll and sleep?" Fine, I'll stop at the good side. Nannan still understands that she has to obediently listen to her mother before she gets angry.

"Of course."

"Alright then, baby, let's go to sleep. We still have to get up early tomorrow!" Nannan immediately changed her tone to that of a little adult and said to her brother.

"Oh." The baby reluctantly put down the car and asked, "Mom, can I carry Blacky to sleep?" Blacky was the name of the car the baby was talking about, and I don't know why she gave the name to a blue toy car.

Xia Mu nodded, and the two children obediently laid down.

"Good night, mother, good night, uncle!"

"Good night, mother, good night, uncle!"

The two children said at the same time.

Xia Mu leaned over and kissed Nannan and the baby, softly saying, "Sleep early!"

Jiang Si Ran smiled and said, "Come, let uncle give you a kiss as well."

After turning off the light in the room, the light from the kitchen shone into the room. Xia Mu said in a low voice, "Brother, it's raining outside, it's getting late. You should go back earlier!"

However, Jiang Si Ran had no intention of leaving. He lowered his head and pulled Xia Mu's hand, leading her out.

"Big brother …" Xia Mu struggled for a moment.

"Be careful not to disturb the child."

Not daring to make too much noise, Xia Mu followed Jiang Si Ran out of the house.

In the courtyard, the rain was pouring down vigorously. The sound of the rain could be heard incessantly.

Jiang Si Ran pulled Xia Mu under the eaves and silently watched the rain and fog fill the sky.

Xia Mu lowered his head and saw that his hand was being held by the man's slender hand. She struggled, but the man's grip tightened.

The April night was neither too cold nor too warm, but Xia Mu felt that the warmth coming from his palms warmed her heart. She thought, This is the warmth of a family member.

In his ears, there was only the sound of rain. Neither of them spoke.

Until a voice broke the silence.

"Little Mo Er …" Jiang Si Ran's voice sounded in his ears.

"Eh?" Xia Mu closed his eyes and answered.

"Little Mo'er, do you know that I haven't been this happy in a long time?" Since his mother's departure, Jiang seemed to have never really smiled, like the cover of the magazine Mu Dongdong had seen, where he lived in a mask. In the face of the media and the public, he was a hot model, but when everything was in a state of desolation, he was invaded by loneliness.

Xia Mu was like a ball of fire, attracting him as he unconsciously approached.

"Little Mo Er …" Jiang Si Ran raised Xia Mu's hand and placed it on his chest. "I can't bear to leave. What do you think elder brother should do?"

The man's voice was very low, with a hint of desolation, accompanied by the sound of rain dripping down. Beneath his palm, was his beating heart, Jiang Si Ran's intentions were already so obvious. It wasn't that Xia Mu didn't know, but he was unable to respond.

Thinking up to here, Xia Mu retracted his consciousness. With a smile on his face, he said gently:

"Big brother, I am your family. Nannan and baby, we will stay with you."

After drinking another glass of red wine, Wei Meng grabbed the bottle, but he was stopped.

"Wei Meng, enough!" Mu Dongfang grabbed the bottle.

Wei Meng looked at Mu Dong with a smile on his face. "Dong Fang, are you concerned about me?"

Mu Dongfang frowned. He didn't have much experience dealing with women, but when Wei Meng asked him to accompany her for a drink, Mu Dongfang agreed out of politeness.

By the time Mu Dongdong returned to answer the phone, Wei Meng was already drinking by himself.

"Wei Meng, you drank too much. I'll send you home." After he finished speaking, he gestured to the waiter. After he paid the bill, he got up and prepared to leave, regardless of whether Wei Meng was happy or not.

"Mu Dongdong, you don't have to be so kind!" Let me go! " Wei Meng was already slightly drunk. At this moment, he was slightly dizzy as he was helped to his feet by Mu Dongdong.

Mu Dongfang didn't make a sound as well. He held Wei Meng's shoulder with his left hand and held Wei Meng's arm with his right hand, preventing too much physical contact as soon as possible. When they were about to leave, Wei Meng staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, Mu Dong had supported her.

"East …" Wei Meng let out a drunken voice as he jumped into Mu Dong's arms and tightly held onto his waist.

"Wei Meng, let go." Mu Dongfang reached out to grab Wei Meng's hand, but all he got in return was a tight hug from her.

"Mu Dong, you're too heartless towards women!" Wei Meng was a proud woman. In her twenty-six years of life, she had met all sorts of men, but none of them had been able to make her feel so defeated. However, it was this Mu Dongfang who didn't take her seriously at all!

Therefore, when Mu Dongfang's unsuitable words came out, Wei Meng was unable to accept his strong pride. Wei Meng had always been the dominant one, so how could he allow a man to reject him!

However, this had really happened!

Now, for example, she hugged a man and begged him not to leave.

Mu Dong's hands hung at his sides as he embraced Wei Meng. Wei Meng murmured, "Mu Dong, you're too heartless towards women! I'm really jealous of that woman in your heart! "

The man did not speak. His body stood straight and his expression was calm.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." When Wei Meng came out of the bathroom, Mu Dongdong was standing at the door waiting for him.

"It's getting late, I'll send you back." After which, he walked out.

Looking at the man's slender figure, Wei Meng sighed and followed him.

The journey back was exceptionally smooth, and it did not take long. Mu Dongfang focused on driving, while Wei Meng sat in the front passenger seat without saying a word.

If he really was drunk, then that wouldn't be so. Wei Meng just wanted to use the alcohol to speak a few words to test the man's reaction. However, the man's heart was as hard as steel. He looked at the tears that were pouring down his face, yet he remained unmoved.

However, the more this happened to Mu Dongfang, the more Wei Meng's desire to challenge him was aroused. She wanted to make Mu Dongfang remember her in his heart.

When the car stopped at the apartment, Wei Meng had already calmed himself down. Under the night sky, his gorgeous eyes were filled with boundless elegance as his gentle voice transmitted into Mu Donglong's ears, "Go east, what you said just now were all drunk words. Don't take it to heart. We're still friends, okay? "
