C95
In the evening, the apartment was bustling with activity.
Nannan watched with relish as her big eyes stared at the lambs in the sheep village. She thought that although Hui Tai Lang was always bullied with joy, Hui Tai Lang still treated Xiao Hui with great care and love.
Compared to Nannan's focus on the cartoon, the baby was feeling restless.
He looked at the man who was talking to his mother in the kitchen again, then looked at his sister who was nestling on the sofa and watching Hui Tai Lang laugh foolishly, before standing up resolutely.
"You have something to say to me?" In a corner of the living room, Mu Dongdong was squatting in front of the baby, smiling as he asked.
"Why are we staying in your house?" the baby asked, frowning as he stared at Mu Dongfang with his long, narrow eyes.
"Does the baby not like it here?"
The baby thought for a moment, then nodded. "But this is your home, not ours." He wanted his uncle to be his father, but that didn't mean they were going to live in someone else's house. In the baby's heart, the courtyard was his home.
It was only then that Mu Dongfang noticed the problem with the baby. He held the baby's hand and said gently, "Baby, Xia Mu and I are going to get married. We are going to get married, so it means that I will live with you. Sorry, I should have told you earlier, but here, it's going to be the home of all four of us. Uncle will take good care of you. "
The baby's eyes were bright and black as he stared unblinkingly at Mu Dongfang. He was listening attentively to Mu Dongfang's words.
These words might be a bit incomprehensible to a three year old child, but the baby understood.
"Then, do you want to be Nannan and I's father?"
He let go of the baby's hand and opened his own hand in front of his eyes. With his palm facing upwards, he asked, "Baby, I like you and Nannan, and I also like Xia Mu, so can I be your father?"
Mu Dongfang smiled, waiting for the baby's answer.
"If you were a father, would you still leave us?" The baby has never had a father, but he has heard all kinds of stories about the father from the kindergarten children. Among all the stories, the one that impressed the baby the most was that the father would never leave home.
"No, we are one family. We will never part again."
The baby blinked before placing her small hand on Mu Dongfang's palm. "Milords cannot lie."
"If you lie, your nose will grow." Mu Dongfang smiled and tapped the baby's tiny nose.
By the time they returned to the living room hand in hand, the cartoon was already finished and they were happily singing the song's ending. Nannan turned her gaze to Mu Xiangdong and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what did you do?"
The baby let go of Mu Xiangdong's hand and expressionlessly climbed onto the sofa to sit. He did not answer Nannan's question.
However, Mu Dongfang smiled and said, "Go wash your hands. We'll be able to eat soon."
"Uncle, carry me!" Nannan opened her arms wide in a flirtatious manner as she faced Mu Dongfang.
Mu Dongfang smiled and walked over to pick up Nannan before asking, "Do you also need uncle to carry a baby?"
The baby turned his face away, looking as if he couldn't bear to see his elder sister's expression. He decisively replied, "I'm a boy. I can wash my hands."
That's right, he was a boy, he wanted to protect his mother and Nannan. Now that he had an uncle, this baby was even more at ease.
Chapter 300 Buying Gifts
The three of them stayed in the apartment. Although the room was large enough, Mu Dong did not live here. Mu Dong did not want to act rashly until he obtained the proper procedures, so he had to be wary of Xia Mu's thoughts.
After settling down, Xia Mu went back to Huanhuan's house to work. She was very dedicated to this job. The intensity of the work was not great, but the pay was even higher than outside. Regarding this, Xia Mu was still a little uneasy.
On this day, Xia Mu was busy in the kitchen when his housekeeper, Uncle Wang, came over.
"Xia Mu." Uncle Wang was a good-natured man in his fifties. He always had a smile on his face when he saw people. Although Xia Mu didn't come here for long, Uncle Wang still took good care of him.
Hearing Uncle Wang's voice, Xia Mu stopped what he was doing, and replied with a smile: "Are you looking for me?"
Uncle Wang said, "For the past few days, I haven't had much of an appetite. For lunch, I'll try to get some things that kids like to eat."
"Alright, I understand." Preparing the food that children loved to eat was no problem for Xia Mu.
During lunch time, there was only a tiny figure in the huge dining hall.
He had a bad appetite these past few days and even vomited last night. When he woke up in the morning, he looked pale. He still didn't have any appetite as he looked at the dishes on the table.
Xia Mu cooked tomato and yellow fish soup, rice with corn and green beans steamed well, using a grinder to form a cartoon shape, carrot cuttings embellished, a meal, full of childish taste.
"Auntie Xia, I have no appetite." Although Xia Mu had prepared lunch meticulously, he really didn't want to eat.
Xia Mu's heart ached as he looked at the little girl's pale face. However, he knew that he wouldn't be able to muster up any strength for a meal.
"Young, you won't have strength if you don't eat. Come, let's have a taste and see if it tastes good. "If you like it, then eat more. If you don't like it, then eat less?" Xia Mu discussed.
In the end, the young man barely managed to eat a few mouthfuls of rice and drink some soup.
After finishing his work here, Xia Mu got on the bus and prepared to go back home.
When he passed by the department store and saw that it was still early, Xia Mu got out of the car and prepared to go for a walk.
When Mu Dongdong called, Xia Mu was standing in the men's clothing cabinet, staring at the man's shirt, seriously looking at it.
The sudden ringing of the bell pulled Xia Mu back from his thoughts.
"Did you get off work?" Mu Dongfang had called about the time. He had originally wanted to pick them up every day, but Xia Mu had firmly refused, saying that there was no place for him to be a babysitter or a special car.
"Yes."
"Going home?"
"Not yet."
"Then where is it?"
"I'm shopping." Xia Mu replied as he thought about how this shirt that was wearing Mu Dongdong should look good. However, the price was a bit too expensive.
"Buy me a present?" Mu Dongfang asked with a smile.
"How do you know?" Xia Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Silly girl, I don't need anything. You are enough. "Give me the address and I'll pick you up."
When Jiang Lanying knocked on Mu Dongdong's door, he happened to hang up and was about to leave.
"Going out again today?" Jiang Lanying asked.
"Mm, to a date!" Mu Dongdong raised his eyebrows and replied happily.
"Appointment? The girl you were talking about last time? When are you going to show it to Mom? " Jiang Lanying followed with a series of questions.
"Mom, I was just about to tell you, when are you free? I brought her here to meet you."
"Child, it's always convenient for me to take you in!"
This son was going to bring his wife home. As his mother-in-law, Jiang Lanying was extremely happy!
I have faith in you
"What did you buy?" When Xia Mu got into the car, he leaned over to kiss her and asked with a smile.
Sensing the man's approach, Xia Mu panicked and avoided him. Mu Dongdong's kiss landed on her cheek. With a flushed face, he replied, "I bought some clothes for you."
"What are you buying for me? If you want to buy it, then buy it for yourself. You're not allowed to buy it in the future." Mu Dongdong started the car and complained, but his face blossomed into a smile.
"Oh." Xia Mu replied.
Looking at the direction the car was heading in, not the way home, Xia Mu asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
"Send something to my sister." When they were leaving home, Mu Xiangxi called to ask if her second brother would bring her a teaching plan that she had left at home. She was waiting to see if she could use it.
"Oh." Mu Dongfang had a sister. Xia Mu knew about this, but he didn't know her name.
The car drove straight ahead along the main road. Xia Mu glanced at the scenery outside the car window and then glanced at Mu Dongfang, who was focused on driving. The shallow dimples were always there. Mu Dongdong looked at Xia Mu's peaceful and calm appearance, and his heart felt warm.
"Are you used to work? Are you tired? " Mu Dongfang originally didn't want Xia Mu to work so hard, so he didn't have any problems raising the three of them. However, he understood Xia Mu too well. If he didn't let her go out to work, this girl would probably sneak out …
Rather than work like this, it was better to put people under your nose and look after them to avoid trouble.
Xia Mu looked at the side of Mu Dongdong's face and lightly said, "It's alright. There's not much else that needs to be done. Everyone is taking special care of me." "Thank you." Xia Mu was not stupid, this job was hired by Mu Dongdong, Xia Mu naturally knew what he was doing.
"You're welcome." Mu Dongdong looked at Xia Mu and said with a smile.
"Your sister is studying here?" The car had already passed the entrance of H University. This was a famous school with a history of over a hundred years. The atmosphere of humanity here was very thick, and Xia Mu didn't have the chance to attend university.
Xia Mu greedily gazed at the scenery outside the window as he asked.
"She'll graduate soon."
"To be able to study here, I am truly blessed." As the car drove up the hill, Xia Mu looked at the students sitting on the grass by the side of the road in groups of twos and threes as he spoke.
Mu Dongfang could hear the envy in Xia Mu's tone. He reached out to grab Xia Mu's hand and shook it soothingly. "If you like it, you can also come and study."
"Me?" Xia Mu turned around and looked at Mu Dong with a wry smile. He shook his head and replied, "How could I have the qualification to do so?"
"Idiot, in this world, not only does one look at one's education, it's also not up to you to decide whether one has the qualifications or not." Mu Dongfang comforted her.
"I know." Xia Mu nodded his head and smiled faintly at Mu Dongfang.
"I see that you're very talented in cooking. Have you ever thought about developing your culinary skills in this area?" Mu Dong was not an old-fashioned person. In his opinion, it was because of his own independence that women were more attractive. He would not let his loved ones stay in his small family, so he should have his own career.
"Development? Can I? " Xia Mu asked.
"Of course. At the time, Huanhuan was only an acolyte in a pastry shop, but she was now the Queen of Desserts. Xia Mu, there are many things, if you don't try, you will never know how far you will go. Xia Mu, I have faith in you. " Mu Dongfang said.
