Mu Dong was not surprised that his first confession had been rejected in such a manner.

If Xia Mu agreed tonight, then he really would be surprised. Being rejected was within his expectations.

Looking at the figure of the two children leaving in a hurry, he stood under the Pagoda tree without moving. He had to give that girl some time to react.

"Mom, are we going back now?" Nannan was having fun with her little friend when she was suddenly called home by Xia Mu, feeling a bit reluctant to part with him.

"It's getting late, I should go back to sleep. I still have to go to school tomorrow."

"Mom, is Uncle still waiting for us at home?" the baby asked with a smile, holding Xia Mu's hand.

Xia Mu was silent for a moment, his heart a mess.

"Mom, is uncle still at home?" Nannan asked again.

"Uncle should be going back now." As she was replying, Xia Mu turned around and saw the figure standing under the tree. It seemed to be looking at her. She abruptly turned around, and her heart started pounding rapidly.

Hearing Xia Mu's words, the two children were a little disappointed, the smile on their faces lessened by a bit.

"Hey, don't be like this. If you guys do this, mother will be sad. Mom thinks that none of you like Mom anymore. " Imitating the tone of the children, Xia Mu spoke with a pitiful tone.

"Mom, we like uncle, but we also like you, so don't be sad." said the baby.

"That's right, mom. You're already an adult, so don't learn to talk like a child, okay?"

Xia Mu pursed his lips, amused by the children.

Under the bright moonlight, the children chatted with Xia Mu all the way home.

Xia Mu did not dare to have any delusions towards Mu Dongdong's words. That kind of man could not possibly be his. Being friends with him was already an extravagant hope. He didn't want to think about anything else. Xia Mu reminded himself.

Xia Mu led the children into the courtyard. The lights in the courtyard were still on. Zhang Xiulan and her family were having their meals in the courtyard.

Seeing Xia Mu walk in, Zhang Xiulan remained silent, but Zhao Fugui greeted him.

The two children politely called for someone, and Xia Mu also replied.

Zhang Dali looked at Xia Mu, pursed his lips, and revealed a simple and honest smile. Just now, he had carried his things back to his aunt Zhang Xiulan's room. Naturally, his aunt had scolded him harshly. He had been careless to such an extent that he could not even handle a little girl.

Zhang Dali didn't avoid nor evade. Instead, she allowed Zhang Xiulan to finish her tantrum before she said that Xia Mu didn't have that intention, and she herself also felt that Xia Mu's condition was too good to be compatible with the other party.

Zhang Xiulan cursed a few more times in frustration. Zhao Fugui couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "What time is it? Why aren't you eating yet?"

Xia Mu led the children back into the house, took a kettle and boiled it with hot water, preparing to bathe the children later. Nannan and the baby in the house once again took out the toys that Mu Dongfang bought and looked at them one by one, feeling happy in their hearts.

As soon as the water was placed on the stove, Zhang Xiulan's harsh voice could be heard from the yard, "Oh, what time is it now? It's already so late. Why are you trying to get into that girl's room so shamelessly!"

Hearing that, Xia Mu came out of the kitchen and saw Mu Dong Fang entering the courtyard with a bag in his hand. She wrinkled her eyebrows and was about to retort when Mu Xiangdong interrupted her. "Nannan, baby, daddy is back!"

Everyone was dumbfounded as they heard this. They didn't know what to do.

However, when the children in the house heard Mu Dongdong's voice, they excitedly ran out and jumped into Mu Dongfang's arms, shouting:

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

Xia Mu blankly watched as Mu Dong carried the two children towards him. His brain felt like it was being torn apart.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

Hearing the happy voices of the children, Xia Mu stood there blankly as he watched Mu Dong carrying the two children towards him.

"Mom, let's go home!" Nannan stretched out her hand and grabbed Xia Mu's shoulder.

Xia Mu recovered his wits, met Mu Dongfang's eyes, and heard him say, "Let's go home."

Xia Mu followed Mu Dong into the house. He was still dizzy from what he had just said. Xia Mu really didn't know how to respond.

In the yard, Zhang Xiulan was the first to react. She pointed at the man holding the child and asked, "That man, is he really Xia Mu's man?"

"Yes." Zhang Dali lowered his head and responded. He picked up the wine cup on the table, took a big gulp of the white wine, and poured it into his stomach.

"How is this possible? Didn't Xia Mu never have a man? How did a man suddenly appear out of nowhere? " Zhang Xiulan could not believe it. That man was not someone to be trifled with no matter how she looked at him. Where did Xia Mu get to know such a person?!

"Enough, I already said not to let you worry about it blindly." "Look at Nannan's appearance. She and that man were carved out of the same mold." Zhao Fugui took a sip of wine and spoke with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Xiulan curled her lips but did not say a word.

In the courtyard, Zhang Xiulan and her family ate their dinner in silence while the rest of the house was filled with cheers and laughter.

Mu Dong gestured for Xia Mu to take the bag from him. Xia Mu saw that the bag was filled with fruits.

"Uncle, have you been waiting for us to come back?" Nannan whispered into Mu Dongdong's ear.

Mu Dongfang smiled at the girl and asked, "I bought some delicious food for you guys. Let's eat together later."

After seeing the three of them off, Mu Dongfang went to a fruit shop nearby and chose a good black currant for delivery. There were also fresh plums for sale in the fruit shop, but when the shopkeeper introduced the black gallon as better than the plum, he chose it.

"Uncle, what is this?" Nannan picked up a black currant and asked.

This thing was black and purple in color. It was round like a magnified marble. She had never seen this thing before, so she didn't know if it was tasty or not.

"Taste it." Mu Dongfang picked out a large and black one and passed it to Nannan.

"Thank you, uncle." Nannan picked up the fruit and bit down on it. It was sweet and sour, and the taste was really good.

"Taste one for the baby, too." Mu Dongfang passed another fruit to the baby.

The baby accepted it with a smile and passed it to Xia Mu. "Mom will eat first."

Xia Mu looked at his son's small face and smiled as he received him.

Nannan also picked up a large fruit and brought it to Mu Xiangdong's lips, saying with a smile, "Uncle, this is for you to eat."

Seeing Mu Xiangdong eat the fruit, Nannan's eyes widened as she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. Today, she was really happy and hoped that every day in the future would be as happy as today!

It was a very sweet taste, yet it carried a hint of sourness, just like Xia Mu's current mood.

Suddenly, the words Mu Dongdong had said to him under the Pagoda tree appeared in his mind:

"My name is Mu Dongfang, 30 years old. I have a job and have been married for a short period of time. My parents are in good health, and I have a brother and sister in my family."

"Xia Mu, you can consider developing with me."

"Right, a development based on the premise of marriage."

"Xia Mu, I'm serious!"

"I will give you time to consider it, Xia Mu. In this world, I am the most suitable for you. And the kids like me. "

Those words that were so domineering that it was almost impossible to resist were repeated in her mind, one sentence after another. Xia Mu bit off the fruit, so she had to calm down as soon as possible!

22 Dad's Appearance

The sky gradually darkened, and when Mu Dongdong left, Nannan was about to cry. The little girl hugged Mu Dongfang's neck as she hid within his embrace, not willing to let go.

Xia Mu tried to persuade her for a long time before she finally let go, but instead asked to see her uncle again tomorrow.

Towards Nannan's request, Xia Mu was put in a difficult position but Mu Dong simply agreed. He even made a request that was even more excessive to Xia Mu: "Nannan, uncle will send you to school tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes, yes." The little girl hurriedly nodded her head and said, "How about, uncle, you don't want to go back tonight. You can stay at our house!"

Towards Nannan's invitation, Mu Dongdong expressed his willingness, but seeing Xia Mu standing to the side and about to explode, he smiled and said: "Good girl, go to sleep early. When you open your eyes tomorrow morning you will see uncle."

After Mu Xiang Dong left, Xia Mu didn't have time to think about anything else as he hurriedly called the two children over to take a bath.

After a crazy day, the two children were covered in sweat.

Nannan was very obedient today as she waited for Xia Mu to bring water into the house. Nannan had already found her pajamas and was obediently waiting for Xia Mu.

"Why are you so obedient today?" Xia Mu placed the basin on the ground and asked with a smile.

"Of course, I've grown up." Nannan took off her clothes and prepared to take a bath.

"Mom, can I ask you a question?" Nannan took a small towel and wiped her face as she asked.

"What problem?"

"Uncle, can you be a father?"

Xia Mu's hands froze as she lowered her gaze and asked in a low voice, "Nannan, can you tell Mommy why you have such a thought?"

The little girl's tender voice sounded, "When uncle was holding me, I was very at ease. I felt that father should be like uncle."

Before she met Mu Dongdong, Nannan only described her father from the mouths of the kindergarten children, and only described her father from the classes. As for what her father should be like, and how her father should treat his daughter, Nannan did not know.

However, ever since she had first seen Mu Dong, the mature man who had given her a warm embrace had completely added on to her imagination of her father.

Nannan thinks that her father should be like Mu Dandong, a mature and handsome man with a tall stature, a warm embrace, and a heart that loves her.

A three year old girl only wanted a father. Mu Dongfang was her favorite. Because of this, she hoped that Mu Dongfang could become her father from an uncle.

Xia Mu looked at his daughter and gently said, "Nannan, uncle is only an uncle and will not become a father."

"But, uncle has promised me and the baby, he wants to be our father." The little girl was a little unhappy as she tried to defend herself. Of course, she was a sensitive child, so she could naturally feel Xia Mu's unhappiness.

Xia Mu looked at his daughter without speaking.

"Mom, if you really don't want to, then forget it." Nannan did not want her mother to be unhappy.

"Darling," Xia Mu lowered his head to kiss his daughter's cheek and said, "I believe mother will give you a father." If the children wanted to, she thought, she would find the man and tell him about them. Even if, when they met, she might be separated from them, she could not deprive them of the right to fatherly love.

"Then, does he have an uncle?" Nannan asked.

Towards this question, Xia Mu hesitated for a long time before slowly replying, "It should be true." In fact, she had only met that person once. As for whether it was good or bad, she really didn't know!
