Garden Day is a parent-child activity organized by the school, and parents are required to participate with their children.
But now Ruan Bai is sick and lying in bed, and Mu Shaoling can't seem to leave.
"I'm going to attend." Mu Shaoling said. Regarding the garden party, he had promised his children that he would definitely attend. "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, there is a nanny here to watch. I will send you back first."
Considering that they hadn't slept all night, he didn't feel comfortable letting the two old people drive back.
"I'd better take care of Xiao Bai in the hospital." Zhou Qing shook her head. Ruan Bai's condition kept coming back and forth, and she was worried.
Lin Wenzheng also echoed: "Yes, we can just watch from here. Shaoling, you go to Taotao's school first."
When Mu Shaoling heard this, he didn't insist anymore. He gave a few instructions to the nanny who came to change the shift, and then left the hospital.
Uncle Zhang must have sent the children to school, so he directly picked up the car and drove to Taotao's school.
When Mu Shaoling arrived, the garden party was about to start. The teacher who was waiting at the school gate saw him coming and was surprised. He stepped forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, welcome to the garden party. Please come inside."
Mu Shaoling nodded and followed the teacher.
This is an international school, and the children who study here all come from very good families. They are either rich or noble. After passing through the crowds of people, he noticed that most of the people who came to the garden party were not the children's parents.
Judging from the way they were dressed, they looked like nannies at a child's home. There were very few people like him who came to attend in person.
Taotao saw Mu Shaoling from a distance, ran over and hugged his thigh, "Dad, you're here. I thought you weren't coming."
Taotao's face was filled with surprise. She raised her head and her eyes flashed. When she woke up in the morning, she found out that he had gone to the hospital and did not come back until after breakfast. She thought she was the only one at the garden party today.
"I promised you, I will definitely come." Mu Shaoling held the child's hand, "Which stall is yours?"
Since Ruan Bai was kidnapped, he has been playing the role of a parent. Even if he took the fake Ruan Bai home, the three children still did not enjoy much maternal love, so he has been playing two roles.
There is a little less time for caring, but that doesn’t mean there is none.
"There!" Taotao pointed to his stall, which Uncle Zhang helped decorate, and the food for the charity sale was prepared by the cook.
"Come on, let's go there." Mu Shaoling nodded, holding the child's hand and walking towards the stall.
The teacher standing aside looked at all this with envy and sighed: "It's rare."
"What's so rare?" The principal who passed by heard her sigh and asked curiously.
The teacher pointed towards Taotao's stall and said, "Director, most of our garden parties are attended by nannies on behalf of parents. It's really rare for a busy man like Mr. Mu to find time to attend the garden party. I can
It can be seen that Mr. Mu really loves children."
She has worked here for several years. Many parents love their children, but they don't show it in their actions.
At parent-teacher conferences, they either meet the children's grandparents or the children's nannies. When asked where their parents are, the answers are almost always the same: they are busy with business or on a business trip.
"This is Mr. Mu's youngest son. I heard that his wife suffered a lot when she was pregnant with this child. At that time, everyone thought that Mr. Mu had passed away in danger abroad, but his wife still insisted on giving birth to the child.
"Mr. Mu loves this child very much." The principal is an authentic native of City A and remembers the events of that year clearly.
"No wonder, Taotao is so happy." The teacher sighed.
The director looked at her envious look, shook his head, and urged: "Okay, hurry up and get ready, the garden party is about to begin."
"Yes, principal." The teacher withdrew his gaze and continued busy receiving the students' parents.
Mu Shaoling stood in front of the stall, becoming a sight in the scenery. There were many looks from around him, and his expression was cold and calm.
"Dad, a lot of people are looking at you." Taotao sighed.
Mu Shaoling touched the child's head. Although he hadn't slept all night, he was used to the high-intensity work, so he was still in good spirits. He asked, "What have you prepared?"
"Eat!" Taotao opened the lid and said, "The cook has prepared curry fish eggs and nougat. Dad, do you want to eat?"
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling smelled the aroma of fish eggs, skewered them, and ate them.
"Is it delicious?" Taotao raised his head and asked.
"Not bad." Mu Shaoling replied, the Mu family's cook was pretty good at cooking.
Taotao said with a smile: "If Sister Nianmu makes it, it will be more delicious."
Mu Shaoling: "..."
He discovered that Taotao liked Nian Mu very much. When talking to him, he would always mention Nian Mu's name accidentally.
"Dad, can I eat at Sister Nianmu's place more often in the future?" Taotao simply discussed with him.
The food cooked by Nian Mu is delicious, but the food cooked by the Mu family's cook is not bad either. Mu Shaoling thought deeply, why does Taotao like to stick to Nian Mu so much?
"Dad, can you?" Taotao asked again when he saw that he didn't answer.
"It's not good to disturb others like this." Mu Shaoling shook his head.
"My sister doesn't treat me like an outsider. I like my sister, and my sister also likes me. Otherwise, as long as my sister agrees, you can let me go, okay?" Taotao said.
"Okay." Mu Shaoling compromised. The child's observation skills were not as sharp as his, and he always felt that Nian Mu did not welcome him.
Therefore, she probably won't agree.
"That's great. Dad, you don't have time to take care of us recently. Then my brother and sister and I will go to sister Nianmu's house for dinner." Taotao clapped her hands happily.
"Why don't I have time to take care of you?" Listening to the child's complaining words, Mu Shaoling ate the last fish egg, sat on the chair, and looked level with him.
"Isn't mom in the hospital? Dad, you must take care of her." Taotao watched him finish the fish eggs, and she was also greedy. She picked up a nougat, opened it, and put it in her mouth.
When he mentioned Ruan Bai who was hospitalized, there was no trace of sadness or worry in his eyes.
Mu Shaoling had previously thought that Ruan Bai had lost his memory and was so alienated from his child, and that the child did not like to get close to her.
Now he finally understood that she was not their mother in the first place, so it made sense not to kiss her.
Even though Taotao was willing to call her mother occasionally, there was no hint of intimacy in her eyes.
Mu Shaoling touched Taotao's head.
Taotao also wanted to mention Nian Mu, but the principal interrupted him.
After the director's speech, the garden party began.
Taotao's stall was very popular, and within a short time, all the fish balls and nougat were sold out.
