When Mu Lingbo went back, he saw Mu Xiaobao still meditating on the ground obediently. When she got closer, he slowly opened his eyes and pretended to be overjoyed, "Mother, when did you come back?"
"Just now. Where is Grandpa Lu?"
Before Mu Xiaobao could speak, a hoarse voice came, "I didn't catch up, he escaped."
Mu Lingbo's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he quickly put Xiaobao away and asked about the situation just now.
"Sure enough, as the girl expected, someone is spying on him secretly. Moreover, although the person is young, he has advanced cultivation skills, so the old man could not catch up with him. Does the girl know who he is?"
Mu Lingbo didn't answer for a long time. The only good thing was that he didn't make any moves. Otherwise, with his ability, it would not be impossible to take Xiaobao away.
Presumably this matter is also a mystery in that person's heart.
"I don't know. Please help me take care of Xiaobao, Mr. Lu. I have to settle some old debts."
The prince is hosting a banquet, so of course I have to go. I haven't seen a penny from the Fu family today, and they are all counting on the prince's support.
The door to the room was ajar, and the conversation inside was clearly audible.
"Mom, do you really not want Xiaobao to accompany you?"
"No need, Xiaobao can go play by himself!"
"Is there some conspiracy?"
"No, my mother is as pure as a white lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unstained. There is no conspiracy."
"I can't tell!"
"What did you say, brat?"
"How can an ordinary white lotus be used to describe my mother? Of course my mother is the beautiful Tianshan Snow Lotus, which is also the most expensive one!"
"...let's just say you are boasting!"
Ye Beiling, who was about to knock on the door, hesitated for a moment. This conversation between mother and son...
But thinking of Xia Houyan's words, his expression changed again.
"Uncle Ye!"
The door opened a crack, revealing a cute round head with big bright eyes, clear and dustless in black and white, looking up from the bottom.
"Uncle Ye, please don't peek around!"
Ye Beiling said dissatisfied, "How can this be peeping? I just planned to knock on the door. Is your mother changing clothes again?"
Mu Xiaobao shrugged his shoulders, "Mother said she couldn't go to the Hongmen Banquet empty-handed, so she was looking for her gift."
Ye Beiling had long been curious about the so-called gift.
"Really? Can you open the door?"
Mu Xiaobao looked back and said, "No."
Inside the gate, there was chaos.
"Finally found it!" Mu Lingbo rummaged through the cabinets and found a small box, "Xiaobao, listen to Grandpa Lu and remember not to run away with others."
She always walked out of the mess and said to Ye Beiling at the door, "Mr. Ye, my son likes you very much and hopes you can spend a happy afternoon with him. You shouldn't refuse.
Such a cute kid, right?”
Mu Xiaobao stared at Ye Beiling from below.
Ye Beiling hesitated for a moment and did not joke as usual, "I... have something to do with you."
Mu Lingbo raised an eyebrow, "Looking for me? But I don't have time. It's the same as looking for my son."
"Why are you so flattering to the prince?"
Mu Lingbo glanced at him inexplicably, "I haven't received the money yet, and his fiancée won't give it, so I have to ask him for it!"
Nine out of ten sentences this woman speaks are nonsense.
Ye Beiling thought for a moment. She was afraid that even if she asked some questions, she would not answer them honestly.
Thinking like this, he glanced at Mu Xiaobao and suddenly had a plan on his mind.
"What's the secret in your mind?" Mu Lingbo's indifferent eyes suddenly became sharp again.
