"My sister's cooking is delicious!" Taotao took a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks to save face.
Nianmu smiled, his eyes pretended to be inadvertently gliding over Mu Shaoling, he picked up a piece of fish and ate it, without any expression on his face.
She couldn't tell whether the other person thought it was delicious or not.
Mu Shaoling didn't express any opinions, and ate quietly, implementing his good habits all the time, without saying a word.
Nianmu took a mouthful of vegetables and ate them silently.
At the dinner table, only Taotao was eating louder. When the father and son put their chopsticks on the same piece of fish, Nianmu felt some tit-for-tat meaning.
"There's more below." She said hastily, she didn't expect this dish of fish to be so popular.
Mu Shaoling couldn't argue with the child, so he let go of his chopsticks, and Taotao triumphantly snatched the fish away.
Nianmu hurriedly picked up the serving chopsticks and turned the fish over, "Mr. Mu, please eat."
Mu Shaoling glanced at her bowl and said, "Don't just focus on eating."
"Ah?" Nianmu reacted and nodded quickly, "Okay."
She immediately picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl.
Seeing that Taotao loves to eat, she didn't intend to compete with her children. As a parent, she certainly wouldn't compete with her children for food.
Mu Shaoling watched her slurping, his gaze sank slightly.
Nianmu eats very politely, like a lady of every family.
After eating, Taotao touched her round belly and burped, "Sister, your cooking is delicious, I really want to eat your cooking in the future, so that I can grow taller faster La!"
Nianmu smiled and cleared away the dishes.
Mu Shaoling said, "Let's put it here, and Auntie will come to clean it up."
"Okay." Nianmu didn't insist, glanced at their father and son, and said again: "Do you want to eat fruit?"
Taotao's eyes lit up, and said, "Sister, I want to eat fruit!"
As long as she prepares it, he wants to eat it.
Seeing the child's greedy appearance, Nianmu smiled, walked into the kitchen, brought out the washed grapes, and put them on the dining table.
Taotao blinked and asked, "Sister, you are so amazing, how did you know I wanted to eat grapes?"
"Want to eat? Then eat more." Nianmu pushed the fruit plate in front of him, then looked at Mu Shaoling and said, "President Mu, it's getting late, I want to go back first."
"I'll see you off." Mu Shaoling said, the sky was completely dark, and it was getting late.
Nian Mu refused, "No need, I'll take a taxi myself, goodbye."
After speaking, she went to the door.
Mu Shaoling suddenly had an impulse in his heart, wanting to catch up and insist on sending her back.
But he didn't do that, but listened to the sound of closing the door, slightly melancholy.
"Dad, why don't you catch up?" Taotao just saw that he was about to stand up.
"Eat grapes." With a dark face, Mu Shaoling looked at the fresh grapes, which were still stained with water.
Taotao let out an "oh" and continued to enjoy the sweet grapes.
After Nianmu left the apartment, he hailed a taxi and went straight home.
She looked at the scenery in the area, and her heart was full of melancholy.
After returning to the apartment, Nianmu opened the door and saw Amur sitting on the sofa waiting for her. She smiled and said, "I'm back."
"You're back." Seeing her tired face, Amur asked concerned, "Are you tired from work today?"
"No." Nianmu looked at his tools on the coffee table and asked, "Are you ready to act?"
"Yes." Amur nodded, his target person has returned to the country, and he wants to start action.
"Be careful." Nianmu walked over, looked at the tools he put on the coffee table, and patted him on the shoulder again. After completing the task, Amur would return to the island of terror, and he was left alone here.
"Hmm." Amur grinned, a little shyly in his smile.
Nianmu nodded. She understood the rules of Terror Island, so she didn't ask him what his specific mission was.
"Get ready, I'll go back to my room to rest first," she said.
"Okay." Amur wiped the weapon. This retractable long sword was the one he chose when he was determined to protect Ale'er and Nianmu.
In the past three years, he has been with him all the time, and his sword skills have improved a lot compared to before.
After Nianmu walked back to the bedroom, Amur took out a black bug from his pocket and put it on the bottom of the coffee table.
He was worried about what difficulties Nianmu would encounter after he left, so he deliberately put down the bug, thinking that he might be able to use it someday.
After installing it, Amur packed the tools calmly, and then walked back to the second bedroom.
Before closing the door, he glanced at the master bedroom opposite, held his breath, and didn't hear a sound.
Nianmu didn't know that his sense of smell was extremely sensitive.
She said she was working overtime so she came home late, but he could smell the oily smoke on her body.
Working overtime, how could there be a smell of oily smoke...
...
On the other side, after Taotao finished eating the fruit, he went back to the old house with Mu Shaoling.
In the car, Taotao shook his legs and asked with a smile, "Dad, is the meal my sister cooks delicious?"
"Not bad." Mu Shaoling commented.
Taotao sighed: "But the taste of my sister's dishes today has changed a bit. The fish she cooked for me last time tasted better, just like what my mother used to cook."
"Really?" Mu Shaoling didn't take his words to heart. Two years ago, Taotao was still a child, how could he remember the taste of Ruan Bai's cooking.
"Father, let's invite our sisters to eat more in the future." Taotao made up his mind that as long as he invites Nianmu to dinner, he will be able to eat delicious meals.
Mu Shaoling took a look at his son's gluttonous appearance. He didn't know it, but thought the cook in the old house was terrible.
"Father?" Taotao wanted him to agree.
As long as his father agrees, he can eat the meals made by Nianmu for a long time.
"She's not our cook, so let's not bother her," Mu Shaoling said.
Nianmu has not said anything, but he can still feel her reluctance.
Although she is now working in a pharmaceutical company, she can feel that deliberately avoiding Mu Shaoling.
"My sister doesn't find it troublesome." Taotao pouted, he rarely clings to someone like this, but when he saw Nianmu, he liked him from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, we can't discuss this matter when we get home, so that mom won't think about it, you know?" Mu Shaoling looked at the Mu family's old house not far away, and told the child not to say anything in front of Ruan Bai. She is uncomfortable.
"I won't tell." Taotao covered his mouth, expressing that he would keep it a secret. He had seen that battle the night before, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Nianmu.
Mu Shaoling pressed the automatic door lock, the door opened slowly, and he drove in.
Standing in the living room on the second floor, Ruan Bai saw Mu Shaoling's car parked in the parking lot. She clutched her coat tightly, thought about it, and went downstairs to meet him.
