"Aunt, I …" Just as the word "I" left his mouth, before he could finish his sentence, a baby's voice came from outside the door:

"Mom, sister, I'm gone!"

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up from his chair and hurried to the door. His eyes were filled with panic as he asked, "What did you say?"

After Xia Mu left the house, the baby's comic strip could no longer bear to watch. He kept wandering around the house, praying that his sister would come back soon, but as time passed, other than the sound of Grandma Zhang's house, there was no other sound in the yard.

The more the baby thought about it, the more scared he became, worried that his sister would have some kind of accident. In the end, unable to hold on any longer, he ran over to find Xia Mu.

"Baby, what did you say? Where did Nannan go?" Xia Mu squatted in front of his son, grabbed his shoulders and asked anxiously. When he went out just now, Xia Mu did not see Nannan and the baby said that his sister went to the toilet so Xia Mu did not take it to heart. But now that his son said that Nannan was gone, Xia Mu's heart thumped and his face paled.

"Sister said that she was going to find uncle and she hasn't been back since." Looking at Xia Mu's face, the baby was full of regret. He really shouldn't have let his big sister out.

"Uncle?" "Which uncle?" The moment the words left his mouth, Xia Mu understood, Nannan does not know many uncles, other than Mu Xiangdong, who else could it be?

With no time to say anything, Xia Mu carried his son back to the east wing and took out his phone. However, he didn't find Mu Dongfang's number, so where could he find him?

"Mom …" The baby tugged on Summer's arm.

Xia Mu lowered his head and looked at his son, forcing out a smile. "Baby, stay at Grandma Zhang's house for a while, mom will go find elder sister, ok?" She didn't dare to leave her son alone at home. If anything happened to him, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

The baby looked at Xia Mu's face and nodded sensibly.

Carrying his son, Xia Mu went over to Zhang Xiulan's house and gave her some simple instructions. Then, he headed out of the courtyard, followed by Zhang Dali.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he heard the voice of a little girl, "Mom, I'm back!"

Xia Mu thought, "This is really a fresh and memorable night. The moonlight is so bright, shining on this person's body, making him feel like he's in a dream."

Xia Mu raised his head and saw his own daughter, cuddly nestled in the arms of a man. With a small smile, he shouted to himself, "Mom, I'm home!"

The little girl's eyes were red from crying, but there was a smile in her eyes. Seeing that Xia Mu didn't reply, she called out again, "Mommy?" There was a hint of fawning in his tone.

He was already tall, but Xia Mu had an anxious expression on his face as he saw them appear. Immediately afterwards, he saw Xia Mu raise his head slightly, staring at him, or perhaps at the little girl in his arms. A faint moonlight covered her face, and Mu Dongfang saw the clear eyes that always appeared in his dreams, gradually turning red.

He heard her voice, "Xia Nannan, where did you run off to!?" Mother is so worried! "

Just as he finished his sentence, Mu Dongdong's arms were empty. The little girl was carried by Xia Mu.

And his chest, which was wearing a shirt, had accidentally brushed against her hand, leaving behind a slightly cold feeling.

Mu Dongfang stood on the stairs, looking a bit down at the ground, his deep eyes were all filled with Xia Mu hugging Nannan's face as he spoke.

"Xia Nannan, what did you learn to casually run out? It's very dangerous outside, do you know?" He could hear a hint of a sob in her voice.

"Mom, I was wrong. I just wanted to go find uncle. Mom, don't cry. " While Nannan lifted up her hand to wipe away Xia Mu's tears, she did not forget to send a meaningful glance to Mu Dongfang, gesturing for the latter to help her speak a few words in order to avoid Xia Mu's punishment.

"Xia Nannan, don't think that it is like this. I will tell you then, you better reflect on it!" Xia Mu did not lose his reason just because of a few words of praise from Nannan. He must be punished.

"Uncle!" Nannan did not want to be punished so she could only call for reinforcements.

Hearing Nannan's words, Xia Mu discovered that Mu Dongdong was still standing in front of him. She lifted her head to look at the man's face and her gaze met with his. It was as if a "sizzling" electricity passed through her body.

Xia Mu somewhat frantically lowered his head and turned around while hugging his daughter.

Hearing the noise in the yard, the baby also ran out and shouted, "Big sister, what took you so long to come back?!" Then, he saw Mu Dong, who had just stepped into the courtyard, ran over happily and shouted, "Uncle, you're really here!"

Mu Dong hugged the little boy who was running towards him and smiled at the baby. Then, he hugged the baby and followed behind Xia Mu. It was as if he had done it thousands of times skillfully. The baby was depressed all night and became happy because of Mu Dong's hug.

He wanted to catch up to Xia Mu and ask him what the man was doing and what did he have to do with Xia Mu, but when the man gave him a faint look, Zhang Dazhi withdrew himself, not even daring to step forward. That man's gaze was too sharp.

Mu Dongfang also saw the man standing behind Xia Mu, and he guessed that he should be the other uncle that Nannan spoke of. With just a glance, Mu Dongfang was able to fully analyze the man's characteristics, and he had to admit that this man was not worthy of Xia Mu.

Noticing the other's gaze, Mu Dong's gaze immediately sharpened. It was clear that he saw the other's fear. Satisfied, he turned his gaze away and lowered his head to gently caress the child in his embrace.

With his heart set on his child, Xia Mu carried Nannan straight back to the house. Mu Dongdong, who was hugging a baby, also followed in. Zhang Dali paused at the door for a bit before putting down her hand and standing at the door, saying in embarrassment: "Xia Mu, I will be going first then."

Xia Mu was busy speaking to Nannan and did not bother to talk to Zhang Dali as he listened to Zhang Dazhi's words and only lightly said: "Be careful on the road."

Through the curtain, Zhang Dali saw that the man was bent over as he said something to the baby. Xia Mu held Nannan and stood to the side, his slightly red eyes staring at them with a smile.

It was just a simple sentence, yet it gave Zhang Energetic an inexplicable feeling. He sighed and thought the same thing. Why did the four people in the room give him the feeling that they were a family!

In the room, Xia Nannan was drooping her head as she listened to Xia Mu speak.

"Xia Nannan, tell me, what was your mistake?" Xia Mu had already regained his calm. He was currently looking at his daughter with a straight face, with the exception of his slightly reddened eyes, which was a clear sign of her previous excited mood.

Mu Dongfang sat in the chair next to the baby, who was leaning against his leg. The baby was a little frightened by the sound of Xia Mu's voice, and its little hands tugged at Mu Dongfang's pants, with a hint of anticipation in its eyes.

Mu Dongfang received the baby's gaze and caressed the boy's face. With a soothing voice, he said, "Xia Mu …"

"Xia Nannan …" Xia Mu was about to say something but realized that the man sitting in his room was blushing. What he was thinking in his heart was, when did this person come in?

Looking at the girl's ears, which were gradually turning red, he felt that the unusual feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. It was as if his cold heart was basking in the sunlight without restraint, causing him to feel a sense of warmth.

At this time, Nannan had already lifted her head and looked unblinkingly at her mother who seemed to have been immobilized. The little girl rolled her eyes and quickly pulled the baby to the side and loudly said, "Mom, I was wrong. Mom, I'm sorry. Mom, Mom, I shouldn't have sneaked out. Mom, Uncle is also here, please forgive me."

The baby also begged for mercy for his sister, "Mom, we all know we are wrong. "Uncle?" As he spoke, he signaled Mu Dongfang to help him.

Finally, when they saw Mu Dong about to help them, the two children let out a sigh of relief.

"Xia Mu, let's talk." The man's usually cold face carried a smile. His voice was very soft, but it carried an irresistible force.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mu actually nodded his head.

When Mu Xiangdong followed Xia Mu out the door, Nannan gestured to him as she made a "Thank you uncle" gesture. Mu Xiangdong rushed towards the little girl and revealed a bright smile.

Once the adults left, the atmosphere in the room became much better. The baby looked at the door to confirm that Xia Mu had left before asking, "Big sister, where did you find uncle?"

Nannan ran out for half a day and once again cried on the road. Coupled with what happened just now her mouth was already parched and she grabbed the cup to drink a few mouthfuls of water before saying to her brother, "At the crossroads. Actually, I did not really think I would meet uncle!" The moment she saw Mu Dongdong, Nannan felt that God must have heard her prayers and brought her uncle to her. It must be!

Xia Mu and Mu Dong walked out of the east building one after the other. The door was slammed shut, followed by Zhang Xiulan's voice, "What time is it? Still not sleeping! "Stop making trouble!"

The voice was sharp, and Xia Mu and Mu Dongdong could hear it clearly. Xia Mu furrowed his brows, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show too much emotion on his face. On the other hand, Mu Dongfang looked at the tightly shut door and frowned. This place might not be as peaceful as he had imagined, but it was about time for them to move on.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xia Mu's slightly apologetic voice, "There are a lot of people living in the courtyard, so we could hear the slightest movement clearly. Let's go outside and talk."

Mu Dongfang raised his eyebrows and replied, "Alright."
