The sky gradually darkened, Nianmu glanced at the time, it was already 6:30.
The smell of food wafted from the kitchen, it seemed that the nanny was almost ready for dinner.
It's just the weather...
Seeing her looking out the window, Taotao came over and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you looking at?"
"It seems to be raining." Nianmu looked at the dark sky, it didn't look like it was going to be dark normally, but it looked like it was going to rain.
"Oh, it really looks like it's going to rain. I'll go and see if the clothes have been collected." Zhou Qing also glanced out the window and hurried to the balcony on the second floor.
"Auntie, I'll help you." Seeing this, Nianmu also went upstairs.
After reaching the second floor, Nianmu took a look at the room on the left, which was Lin Wenzheng's study.
The study door was open, and Mu Shaoling and Lin Wenzheng were inside, talking about things.
Nianmu heard a few words about antiques, so she followed Zhou Qing to the balcony to collect the clothes.
The clothes hanging on the balcony belonged to Lin Wenzheng, Zhou Qing, and Lin Ning. She reminded, "Auntie, these clothes..."
Zhou Qing understood immediately, and looked back, but Mu Shaoling didn't come out, so she quickly stuffed Lin Ning's clothes under the clothes basket, and then covered them with her own clothes and Lin Wenzheng's clothes.
After putting away the clothes, the wind on the balcony became stronger and stronger.
Zhou Qing's broken hair was messed up, and he looked at Nian Mu, "Xiao Nian, let's go in, it seems that there is going to be a heavy rain..."
Nianmu glanced at the sky, the clouds were very low, and if it really rained, he didn't know when it would rain.
The two walked in quickly, just as Mu Shaoling and Lin Wenzheng came out of the study.
"Your hair is..." Lin Wenzheng looked at their disheveled hair and asked in confusion.
"The wind on the balcony is too strong, it's going to rain." Zhou Qing explained, closing the door of the balcony, looking at the two of them, couldn't help becoming nervous again, hugging the clothes basket tightly, "I just went to put the clothes away Now, go and put it away first, you guys go downstairs quickly, get ready for dinner."
She purposely raised her voice so that Lin Ning could hear it.
Lin Wenzheng nodded, and said to Mu Shaoling, "Shaoling, let's go downstairs."
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling nodded, looked at Nian Mu, her hair was messed up by the wind, "Let's go downstairs together."
"Okay." Nianmu nodded and went downstairs with them.
Zhou Qing stood at the stairs, watched them go downstairs, walked quickly to the bedroom, picked up the phone and told Lin Ning again not to make any noise.
Lin Ning, who was lying in the bedroom, rolled his eyes when he received Zhou Qing's WeChat message.
She has been hiding here silently, why is she still so verbose? Are you really worried that you will be discovered by Mu Shaoling, or that you will blame her if you are discovered by Mu Shaoling?
After the nanny cooked the meal, she greeted them to the dining room for dinner.
A long table was full of people, and the atmosphere was happy.
Lin Wenzheng was happy, opened a bottle of red wine, held up the wine glass, and asked, "Shaoling, is Mr. Mu having a big birthday party this time?"
"It's going to be a big deal, I've already booked a banquet at the hotel." Mu Shaoling said, the Mu family attached great importance to Mr. Mu's birthday.
Even though Mr. Mu had said that there was no need to make a fuss, he and Mu Ruicheng still insisted because it was related to the image of the Mu family.
"It's time to make a big deal. By the way, will Xiaobai come back?" Lin Wenzheng asked again. He liked Ruan Bai's daughter more than Lin Ning.
Listening to his question, Nianmu was startled by the action of picking vegetables, but then he returned to his nonchalant appearance.
Ruan Bai definitely won't be able to come back, but it's unreasonable that she, as the grandson's wife, doesn't show up for Mr. Mu's birthday.
What should Mu Shaoling do?
"Xiaobai is busy studying abroad, so he may not be able to come back that day." Mu Shaoling said.
"That's a pity. I was still thinking about seeing Xiaobai that day. How can this child go on a study tour? It's really disturbing to leave her husband and child behind like this, and I don't know that she is outside How are you doing?" Zhou Qing looked melancholy.
It has been a long time since she had a direct conversation with Ruan Bai. Although she would reply to the wechat messages she usually sent to care about, she would never reply in time, as if she was very busy.
"Xiaobai is chasing her dream, and I support her." Mu Shaoling's expression remained unchanged.
"Yeah, it's a good thing for mom to study, grandma, my teacher said, learning is endless...what's the matter?" Taotao interjected, but forgot what the teacher said for a moment.
Zhan Zhan said for him: "There is no limit to the sea of learning and hard work."
"Yes, yes, brother is right, so we should all learn from our mother." Taotao nodded quickly, and after finishing speaking, he took a bite of rice.
Zhou Qing smiled softly, "That's true, but after all, I still have a family. It's because I haven't educated well. Shaoling, you are troubled."
"Not tired, Xiaobai is with me, just do what you want." Mu Shaoling took a sip of warm water, because he would drive back later, and he didn't drink with Lin Wenzheng.
Nian Mu's hands trembled. In the past, Mu Shaoling did say exactly the same thing to her, but there was a premise for these words.
The premise is not to leave his side.
Thinking of this, her heart inevitably fluctuated a little, she controlled her emotions and silently picked up the food.
"Sister, can you help me pick up a spare rib?" Taotao tugged on her sleeve.
Nianmu came back to his senses and gave him a piece of pork ribs.
Mu Shaoling's eyes fell on her, glanced at her, and then moved away.
"Xiaobai is really lucky to have a husband like you." Although Zhou Qing felt a little strange, she couldn't explain why.
Logically speaking, Ruan Bai shouldn't have left her child and her husband to study abroad, but she has lost her memory and her affection for her child is not that deep.
So, it's not surprising that she would do this.
Zhou Qing asked again: "By the way, will Xiaobai come back during the Chinese New Year?"
"No." Mu Shaoling said.
"That's it..." Zhou Qing had an unspeakable sense of loneliness on her face. After all, Ruan Bai was her daughter, and even if she lost her memory, she couldn't change this fact.
Nian Mu looked at the loneliness on Zhou Qing's face, and secretly apologized in his heart.
She was right in front of them, but for various reasons, they couldn't recognize her, and could only get along with them as Nianmu.
"Boom!" When they were about to finish their meal, the brewing rain still fell.
The nanny came in with a fruit plate and said, "Sir and wife, I heard that it will rain all night. Can I rest at the villa tonight?"
Because Zhou Qing's health is almost the same, the nanny who had been working full-time in the Lin family asked to go home at night, and she would not live in the Lin family after get off work every day.
