C56

Mu Dong opened the door and got in. When he was about to start the car, he realized that his phone was nowhere to be seen. After thinking for a moment, he reckoned that after receiving the phone call from Muzhe, he had casually tossed it aside. When he came out earlier, he had left it in the apartment.

At first, he didn't want to go upstairs to get it, but he was worried that he would miss something, so he got off the car and returned to his apartment.

When he opened the door of the apartment, he found a phone on the floor that had been casually discarded.

He bent down to pick up the phone and pressed the light button on the screen. Mu Dongdong found that there were several missed calls.

In the other room, Nannan once again did not contact Mu Dongdong, feeling especially disappointed. She left the store and prepared to go to the intersection where her mom set up her stall so that she could meet Mu Dongfang.

Nannan knew that Mu Dong had the habit of running in the morning so she thought that maybe she was lucky to be able to meet her uncle who was running at the intersection tonight. She decided to head towards the intersection.

Standing in the apartment, Mu Dongfang flipped through the phone records.

There were several missed calls, some from home, some from Nannan's mother, and some other unknown number.

Mu Dongfang saw Xia Mu's number and looked at the time. It was actually called over an hour ago. He immediately called back, but no one answered.

With a slight frown, a bad thought emerged in Mu Xiangdong's mind. He thought, could it be that the baby's body is feeling uncomfortable? Otherwise, why would Xia Mu call at this time?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. With an anxious look in his eyes, Mu Dongfang dialed the number again. However, he was still unable to get through. After hanging up, Mu Dongfang dialed the unknown number back.

When the red telephone rang, the old man was watching TV. There was not much business tonight, and she was still wondering if she should close the door early and go home.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Hearing the old man's voice, Mu Dongdong asked, "May I ask who called me half an hour ago?"

The old man was still staring at the phone. When he heard the man's question, he said doubtfully, "This is a pay phone in the canteen. Aiya, I don't remember either."

Mu Dong was just about to hang up when he heard the old man's voice. "I remember now. It's a little girl. She looks to be around 3 or 4 years old."

Little girl!

Mu Dongfang's heart skipped a beat as he followed them out of the apartment. They walked toward the elevator and asked anxiously, "Where is your exact location?"

The black Wrangler drove out of the parking lot with a swoosh. The man in the driver's seat was frowning as his anxiousness was obvious on his face. He tightly gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the throttle to the max as he sped towards Xia Mu's courtyard!

Nannan, you must not let anything happen to me!

Small Theatre:

Baby: Sis, why can't I go with you to find uncle?

Nannan: Because uncle likes me more!

The baby pouted and ran over to Mu, who was sitting on the sofa staring blankly at Xia Mu. He held onto Mu's left leg and asked loudly, "Uncle, tell me, do you like me or elder sister?"

Nannan also ran over and hugged her leg, blinking her large eyes: "Uncle, tell me, do you like me or your brother?"

Lord Mu looked at the baby and then at Nannan. He reached out to grab the two children on his leg and kissed them. He smiled in satisfaction and said, "Nannan and baby, I like both of them."

The answer, however, obviously displeased the two children, who, hearing it, pursed their lips and cried out: No, I must say which one I like best!

Following the principle that neither his son nor his daughter could be offended, Lord Mu cleared his throat and said loudly, "I like my mother the most!"

A small figure was sitting alone on the street corner. His head was drooping and his eyes were red. He looked like he had just cried.

Everything was dark except for the dim yellow light from the street lamp above. Nannan lifted her head and looked at the intersection in front of her, hoping to see that person. It was a pity that other than the darkness, there was nothing else.

A faint fragrance wafted in the air as Nannan rubbed her eyes as she muttered: "Uncle, where did you go in the end? Will Nannan still be able to see you?"

When they ran out of the house, the little girl was holding in her anger without any fear. However, after sitting at the side of the road for a while, her mood calmed down.

In the courtyard, Zhang Xiulan's house was bustling with noise and excitement. Zhang Xiulan's voice could be heard from far away.

When Zhang Dali and Xia Mu came over, Zhang Xiulan had just finished cleaning up. When she saw the person, she quickly said, "Aiya, Xia Mu. Come on, let's go inside." As he spoke, he led the way into the room.

Zhao Fugui had just finished his meal and was leisurely sipping his tea on the recliner. Seeing Zhang Dazhi enter, he raised his eyelids a little but did not move. When he saw Xia Mu, he greeted him with a smile.

When they entered the house, Zhang Dali went to make tea while Zhang Xiulan pulled Xia Mu to the side and chatted with him.

"Energetic, there's no need for you to be busy. Come, come to my side. Let's have a good chat." Zhang Xiulan called out to Zhang Dali, who was busy running around with her tea.

Chang put the cup on the table in front of him, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

Zhang Xiulan pulled Xia Mu's hand and said all sorts of things, asking about the situation between Nannan and the baby and then talking about how the stall was going to be banned. More often than not, it was Zhang Xiulan who said that Xia Mu was listening quietly while Zhang Dali sat opposite her with a silly smile on his face.

While they were talking, the topic had been brought up to Xia Mu and Zhang Dali.

Zhang Xiulan smiled and said, "Great effort! Aunt knows you are usually busy with work, but you can't just work and forget about your own matters." "We, Xia Mu, are good. You'd better hurry."

With that, he turned to Xia Mu and said, "Xia Mu, tell me, what do we women seek in this lifetime? We only seek peace and stability in this family. This nephew of mine, he is honest and may earn money. I know that young people now value feeling, but it's better to live with one's feet on the ground. "I think you should stop delaying. Choose a day, and settle the matter as soon as possible and half the matter quickly. Maybe next year, we'll be able to carry a grandson!" Zhang Xiulan had always been a sharp-tongued person, yet she could not find any disagreement with what he had said.

Sweat started to form on Xia Mu's palms which were tightly gripped by Zhang Xi. She looked at Zhang Xiulan's face and listened to her words with a hint of awkwardness. She had no interest in Zhang Dazhi. She wanted to find an opportunity to explain the situation to him. Hearing Zhang Xiulan's words, she felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer. The longer it dragged on, the worse it would become.

After making up his mind, Xia Mu softly opened his mouth, "Aunt, Big Brother Zhang is a good person. It's a pity that I'm not good enough for him."

Zhang Xiulan gave a start, then burst into laughter. "You little girl, what's so good about that? Just be more smart. Aunt thinks that the two of you are a good match. "Isn't that great power?"

Zhang Dali looked at Xia Mu, then at his aunt Zhang Xiulan, and chuckled.

When the black shepherd passed by the street where the food was being sold, Mu Dongfang slowed down his car. His fierce eyes swept the road, refusing to let go of any of the corners. Finally, when the tiny figure entered his sight, his tensed heart finally relaxed.

"Sssii ~ ~" The black shepherd stopped and a man jumped down from the car with a vigorous posture.

The bright car lights suddenly lit up and Nannan looked up with her red and crying eyes to see a pair of thick black boots appear in front of her.

A person came up to him and squatted down.

"Uncle …" "Sob, sob …" Nannan lifted her head and rubbed her eyes as she cried out, "Uncle, why did you only just arrive?"

Mu Xiangdong squatted beside Nannan and held the little girl in his arms. He raised his hand to wipe her eyes as he said, "You little girl!"

Nannan wrapped one hand around Mu Dong's neck while the other rubbed her eyes. Just now when she was waiting, she resisted crying as she felt wronged after seeing Mu Dongfang. Then, she looked at Mu Dongfang's serious face and began to cry more and more.

"Wu wu … Uncle … You don't want me anymore, why aren't you answering the phone …" "Sob, sob …" The little girl was crying so hard that Mu Dongfang wanted to say something, but he was unable to do so in front of the little girl.

He stood up with Nannan in his arms and used an arm to support the little girl's legs. His tense face became a bit more gentle but his tone was still a bit angry, "This late at night, did you know how to be scared?"

Nannan's small face rubbed against Mu Xiangdong's face as she squinted her eyes to peek at the man. The man's face was still tense and his small mouth curled as he cried even louder, "Ah! Uncle, mom doesn't want me anymore. You don't need me anymore. My life is so bitter …"

[What a guy! He even said, "My life is so bitter." What is this girl saying?

"Xia Nannan!" Mu Dongfang raised a hand to pat her on the butt, "What's going on?" As they spoke, she carried Nannan to the front of the car.

Mu Dongdong opened the door and stuffed Nannan into the front passenger seat as he followed and took a few tissues to wipe the little girl's face before asking: "Just what happened?" Mu Dongfang had forgotten to ask when Mu Ru Yue had caused such a ruckus.

Nannan stopped crying as her eyes were still red. She raised her head to look at Mu Xiangdong and wrinkled her nose before softly saying, "Mom is going to find us a daddy. Baby and I have nowhere to go."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Mu Dong's eyes as he asked, "What father?"

"He's the uncle that Grandma Zhang mentioned, but Poppet and I don't like him at all!" Saying up to here, her small hands grabbed onto Mu Dongfang's clothes, "Uncle, you go tell mom that I won't let mom be with that uncle, okay?" Nannan's small hands continued to tug at Mu Dongfang's clothes, her large eyes full of pleading.

"Nannan." Mu Dongdong raised his hand to rub Nannan's hair as he said in a low voice, "Uncle will send you home first. Mama will worry if you run out."

"No, I'm not going back!" With a twist of her neck, the girl let go of Mu Dongyi's hand and returned to her seat.

"Little girl!" Mu Dongdong pinched Nannan's face and started the car.

The car headed towards the courtyard house. The man driving the car had a calm expression, but if one were to look closely, they would see ripples in his eyes.
