When she woke up again, it was already nightfall. When Mu Jinxi opened her eyes, she saw his son sleeping soundly on the bed. She moved her arms in an attempt to touch his head, but only now did she realize that her arms were hurting. She checked her injuries carefully and found that both her arms were wrapped in thick gauze and there was a piece of cloth on her forehead.
Mu Jinxi did not understand what was going on. What was going on with him?
Maybe she was a little too overboard, so little friend Mu Beibei woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Jinxi holding up two arms that looked like they were wrapped up into dumplings. He shivered. "Mommy, I would have thought you turned into a zombie if you acted like that."
Mu Jinxi immediately turned her head when she heard Mu Beibei, but she had forgotten that he was still a patient. With such a big movement, he immediately touched a wound, causing her to grimace in pain. Son, are you hurt? "Does it hurt?"
Mu Beibei shook his head, "Mommy, I'm fine, I'm really good." As he spoke, he patted his chest to prove that he was doing well. "But Mommy, you're not good. You're scaring me to death."
Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes: "Bei Bei, what happened afterwards, Mom doesn't remember anymore."
Mu Beibei blinked his eyes, he did not say a word and just stared at Mu Jinxi, causing all the hair on her body to stand up, and asked uncomfortably: "What's wrong?"
Mu Beibei said, "Mommy, I feel like I can see what I will be like ten years from now."
"..." "Huh?" Mu Jinxi did not manage to react, instead, she said, "The uncle who carried you back, he looks similar to me!" Mu Jinxi looked at his son's indignant appearance and started to sweat a little. "He is older than you, it should be because you look like him, right …"
"I don't care!" Mu Beibei waved his little fist: "You actually dare to compete with me, is my face that easy to imitate?"
Mu Jinxi pinched his small face, and after carefully looking left and right to make sure he wasn't hurt, she relaxed. She vaguely remembered seeing a face that was similar to Mu Beibei's before she fainted. She originally thought that it was just an illusion, but after hearing Bei Bei's words, Mu Jinxi was already very sure in her heart who that person was.
"Bebe." Mu Jinxi pulled her son's face and asked: "Is that person still around?"
"Who?"
"The people who saved us."
"Oh." Mu Beibei immediately became more spirited, his arms crossed in front of his chest as if he was "begging me". Yet, this time, Mu Jinxi was not as pleased as him, "Tell me quickly!"
Mu Beibei teased her with ill intent, "Mommy, since you're so nervous, I will think that person is my daddy's." It was originally a joke, but Mu Jinxi's nervous and stupefied expression made Mu Beibei feel a little awkward. He scratched his head and mumbled to himself, "No way, I can guess if I say something like that …"
Seeing his own mother being so nervous, Mu Beibei did not want to tease her anymore, so he said: "Aiyah, don't be in such a hurry. I'll drag him over to meet you right now, just you wait!" After saying that, he jumped off the bed and ran off to call for people. Mu Jinxi didn't even have time to react before he watched Mu Beibei's little figure run away. She really wanted to open his mouth and call him back, because she hadn't even decided how to face Murong Shaoyang.
When she fell back onto the bed, looking at the ceiling above him, Mu Jinxi finally realised that the ceiling's color, was completely different from the color in his own house. It seemed like … There was no wallpaper on the ceiling of his house, and it didn't have such a gorgeous chandelier.
She looked around suspiciously, and only now did she realize that all of these things were not familiar to her. This, this, this... Mu Jinxi's mind was blank, could this be Murong Shaoyang's home? It's over, it's all over. If someone found out, who knows how they would reverse the situation. No, it should be because he did not want to have anything to do with Murong Shaoyang, especially not to let him see Mu Beibei, and not to recognize him!
Thinking about how Mu Beibei had already met Murong Shaoyang, the two of them both had intelligent minds, they would definitely guess that there was something fishy going on. When she thought about how Mu Jinxi could not lie still, she pushed off his bed and was about to get out of bed to retrieve Mu Beibei.
However, she once again ignored the fact that she was injured. With such a large movement, she directly pulled on the blanket and pulled on the wound on her arm. The pain made her cry out in pain before she fell back onto the bed. Mu Jinxi gloomily looked at the ceiling once again, her heart lamenting why her life was so bitter!
She gloomily fell back onto the bed and looked at the ceiling, just in time to be seen by Murong Shaoyang who just pushed the door in. She hurriedly strode over and helped her straighten her clothes, pained: "What are you doing, you can't even move your arms and you're so good at tossing and turning, do you want your entire body to be wrapped up like a dumpling?"
Seeing him busy with her work, Mu Jinxi felt that she couldn't even complete the small matter of sitting up, partly because she was in pain, partly because she was angry with, but also because she wanted to avoid meeting whoever she least wanted to meet. Therefore, Mu Jinxi gave up and said, "Yes, yes. I just want to become a dumpling, a mummy, how good would that be to be treated as an exhibition of cultural relics."
"Yes, and then tens of thousands of people will point fingers at you. You can only lie inside the gorgeous coffin and dig out all your organs, but you can't move your mouth full of sand. How great!"
Mu Jinxi choked and rolled his eyes: "Why are you so disgusting!"
"This is a fact, what do you mean disgusting!" "Murong Shaoyang did not care about what she said, and while he was speaking, he carefully checked the wounds on Mu Jinxi's body to make sure that the bones were not twisted to the point of contusion, and then heaved a sigh of relief. If I hadn't happened to arrive today, you'd be waking up to see all white. "Yes, I reckon your great wish will come true as well."
Mu Jinxi smacked her lips, "I wonder what bad luck has befallen us recently, to be able to stuff my teeth in cold water. How did the one in a hundred thousand chance happen to us? "Is it because my son is too handsome that …" As though he was speaking, Mu Jinxi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Murong Shaoyang didn't know that Mu Jinxi had a son, and she had never brought up the matter of Mu Beibei. Originally, Murong Shaoyang still had some doubts in his heart, as to who this fellow who looked so much like him really was. Mu Jinxi accidentally leaked it, causing an idea in his heart to become even more suspicious.
"Muxi, who's child are you with?"
Mu Jinxi dreaded being asked this question the most. When she heard this question, her four limbs stiffened, not knowing how to answer. Furthermore, being caught red-handed by the main culprit today made her even more flustered. "Uh, I, I, I'm thirsty. You, you, help me pour a glass of water."
Murong Shaoyang looked at her in amusement and brought a cup of water from the table. Mu Jinxi grabbed the water cup like a lifesaver and sent it to the innermost part of her body. As she drank, he pondered on how she could change the topic and divert Murong Shaoyang's attention elsewhere. But it seemed like there was nothing she could do!
Mu Beibei's face was similar to Murong Shaoyang's, it was a mini version of Murong Shaoyang's face. If not for the fact that her words had leaked out, Mu Jinxi had even planned to lie and say that she was Murong Shaoyang's illegitimate child or the child of a distant cousin. In any case, as long as she didn't say that Mu Beibei was her child, Mu Jinxi could think of a thousand reasons. However …
Mu Jinxi nervously swallowed her saliva, and then stuck her head out to drink the water in the cup. Only after raising it up for a long time did she realize that it was empty.
Murong Shaoyang smiled at her in a good mood, then gently took the cup of water from her hands: "There's no water left. Are you going to drink another cup, or are you going to tell me the truth?"
"I, I want another cup."
"Sure." Murong Shaoyang said: "I reckon that you will probably need to go to the toilet frequently. Let me think, should I use the toilet to avoid this problem?"
"No, no." Mu Jinxi took a deep breath, "Actually, you must have misunderstood my words. What I mean is, the relationship between the two of us is really good, the two of us often call each other 'Son' and 'Mommy', which makes us seem really close. And let me tell you, you mustn't say anything about your own mother in front of him. He didn't remember anything when I adopted him.
After saying that, Mu Jinxi admired her wit, and immediately thought of a reason. It seemed that when a person was forced into a corner, their intelligence would increase by several levels as well. Murong Shaoyang obviously did not believe him. Seeing how nervous and evasive Mu Jinxi was, not even daring to look him in the eye, Murong Shaoyang knew that there was something fishy going on.
He was not sure whether or not Mu Beibei was his child. However, there was an 80% chance that he would not be able to escape from such a symbol of a face. Adding on Mu Jinxi's attitude, Murong Shaoyang decided that he had to find an opportunity to confirm this conjecture.
"I didn't expect you to be so loving and kind to adopted children, just like a biological son."
"Heh, heh, that's right." Mu Jinxi replied with a fake smile, as she screamed in her heart to not continue with this question. Murong Shaoyang continued to speak while pinching his chin: "You even specially adopted a child with the same face as me, you sure put in a lot of effort." Mu Jinxi did not speak anymore. At this time, the smartest choice was to keep quiet, words will always end in loss.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Murong Shaoyang became angry, and was just about to say something to provoke her, when the door opened with a creak. No one came in yet, but Murong Shaoyang heard a small voice say happily: "Mommy, did you see that uncle who is as handsome as me?"
He pushed the door open and peeked her head out to look at the inside of the room. Her big eyes rolled around a few times, and she knew that she had come at the wrong time. Well, I didn't see anything, so you guys go on, uh, go on. " With that, she closed the door, but Murong Shaoyang did not stop him. Mu Jinxi wailed in pain and hid herself under the blanket as an ostrich.
Murong Shaoyang did not say anything else, he knew that he would not get any useful information from Mu Jinxi, so he patted the ostrich under his blanket and said: "I will go get some food to supplement your recovery, the doctor has already come to see you, your bones are still undamaged, it is truly fortunate that you are not injured. You don't need to go to work these few days, take good care of yourself at home.
Seeing that Mu Jinxi had said something, Murong Shaoyang immediately forced her back into the blanket: "Rejecting is useless." Then he took the cup and left.
She scolded Murong Shaoyang a lot in her heart, and then scolded Mu Beibei a little too. She got tired after swearing, so she decided to sleep first and continue swearing when she woke up.
Murong Shaoyang walked out of his room, thought about the recent accident, and his sharp intuition told him that it definitely was not as simple as a normal accident. On the surface, it looked so seamless. It must be the work of a professional killer.
When Mu Beibei came to find him, Murong Shaoyang had already called someone to investigate the ins and outs of this matter. He had undoubtedly given him a clear and detailed answer before tonight. What he was most concerned about right now was the identity of that child.
Murong Shaoyang did not plan to look for someone to investigate the file of Mu Jinxi and this little friend called Mu Beibei, because he felt that it would only be fun if he played the game of Decryption himself. If that brat was really his son … Murong Shaoyang laughed, then at the very least, he should have a matching IQ. Otherwise, he would not recognize it.
Mu Beibei's little friend was currently sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine, completely bored out of his mind. Murong Shaoyang's magazines were all extremely profound stuff, and little friend Mu Beibei was completely unable to understand them at all.
When Murong Shaoyang walked over, he saw Mu Beibei's silhouette, he looked extremely similar to him. Seeing Mu Beibei, a soft nerve in Murong Shaoyang's heart could not help but tremble. This was probably the so-called blood relation.
"Little brat, can you understand these things?"
Seeing that he had come, Mu Beibei did not put away the book, but instead pointed to the pictures on the book and said, "Of course I don't want to look at the words, just look at the pictures.
"Oh? "Then tell me, what do you understand from looking at the diagrams?"
"I understand now that you're actually a very boring person." Mu Beibei felt his chest blocked, "Why?"
Mu Beibei quickly flipped through the book several times, and said: "Because in the entire book, there aren't many diagrams that are filled with words! Not just this book, but this, this, these are all here. "
Murong Shaoyang was speechless: "Brat, then that only means that your education level is not high, and that doesn't mean I'm bored."
"No, no." Mu Beibei shook his head: "Just looking at the words means that you are an old-fashioned and forbidden person. If it's all pictures, then this person is a little too boastful. The combination of movement and movement is the best thing. Look at you, with such a face like mine, how come you didn't inherit my good tradition at all? "
Murong Shaoyang was amused by his words. It was the first time seeing such a child, and it was so interesting. He couldn't help but pat his head, and then asked. "Mu Jinxi is your mother?" "En", little brother Mu Beibei nodded: "She is the best mother in the world, and also the most long-winded mother."
Murong Shaoyang did not care about the last sentence, and continued to ask: "Then what about your father?"
"Daddy left us a long time ago. He was a great hero and he sacrificed himself to protect everyone at the National Security Agency."
Murong Shaoyang didn't believe him at all, and before he could say anything, Mu Beibei turned his head and showed him a set of neat set of small teeth, and said: "Hehe, this lie is so far-fetched isn't it? Actually, I already knew that Mommy was lying to me, but since she wanted to lie to me, she definitely didn't want me to know the truth. What she didn't want me to know was definitely not a good thing. So I believe my father is a great hero. "
Murong Shaoyang never thought that Mu Beibei would actually have such a Exquisite Heart. He was so sensible and obedient, causing Murong Shaoyang's heart to instantly feel sour. What kind of bitterness and hardship did this child have to go through in order to grow up to have such a heartbreaking and resolute appearance? It was he who was in the wrong. Back then, he should not have allowed Mu Jinxi to leave no matter what, and even if he did leave now, he should have brought her back.
Actually, how could he have the ability to protect them? Even now, he had to use political means to maintain his position and interests, let alone ten years ago.
"Then it must be very hard for your mother to live by herself while taking you with her."
Mu Beibei's eyes smart enough to roll around, he would not fall for Murong Shaoyang's trick, "Uncle, you asked me this question, should I answer it or not? You're so interested in my mommy, don't tell me you're interested in her? "
Murong Shaoyang laughed and thought that this child was truly interesting. "If that's the case, will you help me?"
"Nope." Mu Beibei answered without hesitation, without any hesitation at all. Murong Shaoyang was very confused: "Why?"
Mu Beibei said, "If you like someone, you have to rely on your own hard work to fight for it. If he relied on the help of others alone, he wouldn't receive such precious love. You'll be bored with being too easy to get into the future. "What's more …" Mu Beibei smiled slyly: "If you want me to help you, you have to bribe me."
[This guy truly refuses to be taken advantage of!] Murong Shaoyang liked Mu Beibei more and more, "Then tell me, what conditions do you have to bribe me?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. But if you'd like to borrow your phone and play with it, I'll consider it. "
Murong Shaoyang thought that he had already added all the important things on his phone. The only thing the child wanted was a phone to play games, so he agreed.
