C190

After living a peaceful life for so long, my heart was still beating fast.

What was going on with this strange woman?

"How come I'm missing out on the feast with Fang Yuan?"

Her throat felt like it had been burned, coarse and heavy, as if she was tearing it apart time and time again.

Mu Huainan did not speak, but walked past the woman and looked back.

"An'an!"

When she heard him, the woman turned around. Seeing that there was someone, she intentionally pulled down the brim of her hat and walked away from me.

The woman was also wearing a black mask. I couldn't see her face clearly, only her haggard eyes that stared straight ahead without blinking.

I have only ever seen one person in this world with those dark, abyss like eyes.

It was Mu Huainan.

With a single glance, his entire body went numb.

I walked towards Mu Huainan, who was playing with the flower pot beside him.

"Uncle Huainan."

When I walked over, he greeted me like nothing had happened. He hugged me to his chest and said, "What happened? Don't let those old fellows get drunk?"

I pushed him. "Who was that guy?"

"An old friend."

I didn't believe him. "Old friend? A good feast with a black dress and a mask, is this what you call a friend? "

He smiled. "Why do you even care about her hobbies? She's been a friend for many years. She just left after exchanging a few pleasantries."

"Since when did you have a female old friend?"

The more I asked, the more weird my tone became.

"Cu Tanzi is feeling jealous again."

"Who said I was jealous! I don't care about you! "

"I will go and fetch Jiu Jiu back home. Leave the feast in Shen Xiuyuan's care, I will be going."

I turned to leave, but he followed me in a few steps.

"I'll go with you."

"Go to school to pick up your son from An Fang's dinner? If word of this gets out, won't others laugh and settle down? "

He was calm and composed.

"Those who dare to laugh with An Fang have all died in this world."

I believe that.

Since he couldn't refuse, he could only follow him.

Along the way, he slept with his head on my shoulder. The driver drove smoothly, afraid that he would disturb Mu Huainan's rest.

He was as relaxed as ever, as if nothing were going to happen.

But somehow it was hard for me to be at ease, to remember the woman's face in the yard, the secret eyes, the untimely appearance.

In a place like He An's, it's hard for me to get over it.

"Huai Nan." I knew he wasn't asleep, just a little boy.

"Promise me that you won't go back to He Fang for now after the family banquet, okay?"

I instinctively thought that as long as he was able to stay away from An Fang, those secrets, those secrets that were sealed away in the old box, would have nothing to do with him.

I forgot, once upon a time, He Fang was already surnamed Mu. He and An Fang were inseparable, just like one.

He should have guessed I was imagining things, but he didn't explain. He just yawned and said, "Okay."

"If there's anything, you have to tell me."

He still had his lazy look and said, "Okay."

I hope I don't think too much about it. I also hope that it's just that I think too much into it, but sometimes, a woman's intuition is a very scary thing.

After getting off the carriage, Mu Huainan waited in the carriage. I'll go and fetch the 99% of the students, they are eight or nine years old, and have grown so fast in these two years, I basically don't need to squat and talk to them, but at such a young age, Mu Huainan has already gotten used to being fearless. Those eyes are the same as Mu Huainan's, so with a glance, no one of the same age as me would dare to offend him.

I sighed and stood in front of the school gate. 99 saw me through the crowd and ran towards me.

"Mom, why are you here to pick me up today? Where's Aunt Lin? "

Aunt Lin was a nanny hired by her family. Basically, she was the one who would take 999 to and from school and cook and the like.

"Your father is here too."

Speaking of his father, the little guy's eyes instantly lit up. As I looked at him, my heart felt extremely cold.

"Daddy!"

Before I could say anything, he saw Mu Huainan's car run away.

F * cking hell, I cry after saying so much.

Normally, because they were too busy at work, they rarely had the chance to sit down and eat together. 999 was a boarding school and they only came back on weekends.

Basically, all of them are when I go to Mu Huainan's company to find him, or when he comes to Lu Group to look for me.

Today, the three of them sat around a table, looking a little like they were home.

That night, I hid myself within Mu Huainan's embrace. I called out to him softly, "Uncle Huainan."

As long as I call him that, I will never grow up. I will always be that fifteen year old little girl that came to live in the Mu family.

He stroked my hair and held me tighter. "Your son is getting more and more leathery, just like you."

I looked up at him. "It's all your fault for being so kind to him."

He smiled, his voice full of satisfaction, "As long as my son is happy, it's fine. I'll take responsibility for whatever he wants."

If the heavens give to the heavens, if the earth give to the earth.

That's what he did to me.

"You are an extremely extreme person." I was in his arms as I drew circles on his chest with my hand. "I can't wait to pamper the heavens when I face people who are vicious to the point of anger and anger towards their own families."

He confidently said, "Is something wrong?"

I was made helpless by him, I could only follow him and say: "Right, right, right, everything you say, you're right. You're Mu Huainan after all, who would dare to go against you."

He didn't speak. In the quiet of the night, as I breathed in the faint scent of male hormones, I couldn't help but relax. All I wanted was to stay in his arms and never get up again.

It seemed like it wouldn't be enough no matter how long.

I was the most ordinary person. I loved a complicated man and had a precocious child. I had no other requests but to have peace in my life and the safety of my lover.

It was enough.

She slept all night until dawn. When I was at home, I didn't need a nanny to come over, and Mu Huainan didn't like strangers to be at home either.

I had to get up early. They would cook for the two ancestors.

I can't make the beef noodles that Mu Huainan taught me, but the chicken noodle soup is still my signature dish.

When they were done washing up, I was almost done.

"Ninety-nine, today your dad will bring you to the company to play. Mom is going to the hospital to see your aunt, you have to be obedient."

"Really?! Daddy, take me to the company to play?! " He had always admired his father, and he wanted to see what his father looked like at work.

"I'll pick you up after work." Mu Huainan was used to opening newspapers and eating breakfast at the same time.

In the end, his precious son imitated him, reading a language book while eating breakfast.

He wouldn't listen even if he told her.

"Mu Jiujiu." I looked at him. "That was the page in your language book from a week ago. Why hasn't it changed yet?"

"Mom!" He was angry, angry that I had exposed him.

"Alright, you father and son take a look, I'm going to the hospital to see Jing Yu."

He put on his coat and went out.

Almost every week, I would go to the hospital to see Jing Yu.

He probably felt that he had let her down, so he did his best to compensate her by doing his best.

Mu Huainan changed a new hospital for Jing Yu. It was much wider and brighter than the previous one, with large patches of lush green lawns and flowers in the backyard.

The environment was excellent.

Jing Yu's room is on the second floor, and I'll take the stairs. This place is very short, only five floors in total, so there's no elevator here, and it also reduces the risk of patients.

As I walked down the corridor. Jing Yu's care was currently cleaning the ward for her.

"Hello, Sister Jing Yu." I come often, so she knows me.

I greeted her with a smile and looked into the house.

"Where's Jing Yu?"

Oh, a lady came up just now and said that she was Jing Yu's family. I saw that Jing Yu seemed to know her, so I agreed to let her bring Jing Yu out for a walk.

"Jing Yu knows her too?!"

In my impression, all the people Jing Yu knows are within my grasp, so why would a woman appear out of thin air to visit her?

"Where are they taking a walk?" I couldn't help but feel anxious.

The nurse thought for a moment. "It should be in the front yard. The water pipe in the back yard is broken. It's sealed for repair by Master in the afternoon."

I left in a hurry. I didn't even say hello to the nurse.

I was so flustered that I couldn't think of who that woman might be.

After walking around in the front yard, there weren't many patients originally. I even walked around a few times, but I still couldn't find Jing Yu.

What was going on?

I couldn't find it in the backyard again.

It was empty.

Anxious, I went upstairs to look for a nurse. The cleaning of the room was already finished, so she placed a pot of lilies on the balcony in front of Jing Yu's room.

"Sister Jing Yu, what's wrong with you? You didn't see Jing Yu? " he asked me, seeing my haste.

I shook my head. "No, I didn't find her anywhere."

"Could he have gone to the cafeteria to eat?"

As the nurse said this, she stopped what she was doing and followed to look for him.

Inside and outside, this clinic was only such a small place, how could it not be found?

My heart clenched.

"Sister Jing Yu, wait a moment. Did someone from your family forget to tell you after they took her away?"

"It's basically impossible."

She and I have no parents, no parents, and she has been living in the sanatorium all these years without any contact with the outside world.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. It was clearly the beginning of spring and flowers were blooming everywhere, yet my hands and feet were cold and my back was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing that there was really something wrong, the nurse panicked and quickly tried to recall the woman's appearance.

"She was only wearing a black windbreaker and a mask. Her face couldn't be seen clearly, but when Jing Yu saw that she seemed to have an intimate relationship with her, she thought that she must be a member of her family, so she didn't think too much about it."

I knew it couldn't be a family member, so the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

"There's surveillance in the corridor, right?" I suddenly asked the nurse.

"Yes."

"Please show me who brought Jing Yu away."

"Alright, come with me."

The woman in black on the screen was the same woman he had seen in He An's Workshop the other day.

Her eyes were on the monitor for just a moment, and for just a moment, I was trembling all over.

It was that person, yes, she was the only one who had the same eyes as Mu Huainan.

Why did she bring Jing Yu away?

"Are you sure they know each other?" I asked the nurse repeatedly.

The nurse nodded.

"Jing Yu has always been a recluse, so when she saw that woman, her reaction was similar to when she saw you, I really didn't think too much about it …"

I panicked and had no other choice but to call Mu Huainan.

He was the only one who could give me a solid answer right now.

It was 999, and I thought they were at the company together. So I said, "Nine-nine-one, give Daddy the phone."

"Dad went out early in the morning and said that he would take me to the company another day if he had something to do. He didn't bring his phone."

My heart went completely cold.
