Seeing his pitiful look, Nian Mu couldn't bear to let him starve, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to have breakfast, but after that I will send you back to Mr. Mu. Don't cry."
oh."
Past experiences told her that every time Taotao was separated, she would try her best to stay by her side, so she put her words upfront to prevent her child from missing things later because of his reluctance.
"Okay, sister!" Taotao nodded and agreed.
The two left the guest room together.
Nian Mu took him to the restaurant downstairs, where Lei Zhong, Professor Qian and others were already sitting there eating breakfast.
The hotels Dong Zijun booked for them all had buffet breakfasts, so they all solved the breakfast problem here.
"Professor Nian, good morning." Because they were sitting near the door, Lei Zhong greeted her directly.
"Good morning." Nianmu nodded towards them as a greeting, and then took Taotao to the self-service area.
Professor Qian looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "That's Mr. Mu's child, right? Why are you with Professor Nian so early in the morning?"
They had witnessed the child's affection for Nian Mu yesterday, but it was really strange for Nian Mu to wander around with the child so early in the morning.
Shouldn't this child follow Mu Shaoling? But their boss hasn't appeared yet, and then Nian Mu appears with the child...
Professor Qian exchanged glances with his assistant, and then looked at Lei Zhong in unison, "Assistant Lei, what's going on with Professor Nian?"
"I don't know." Lei Zhong shook his head. Looking at their eyes, he knew that the thoughts in their minds were not good.
Nian Mu showed up early in the morning with Taotao. They must have thought that she did not rest in the room yesterday.
Although they walked out of the elevator together, it's hard to tell what they did after entering the guest room.
"Why don't you go and find out? We are quite curious too." Professor Qian encouraged.
Lei Zhong was scolded by Nian Mu yesterday. He did not dare to do this again to satisfy their gossip mentality. He shook his head and said: "Professor Qian, this is Professor Nian's private matter, and I don't dare to ask more questions."
When Professor Qian saw that he was unwilling, it was hard for him to say anything, lest he would be known as a gossip.
Nianmu took Taotao to get some breakfast that he wanted to eat, and then he randomly picked a place to sit down.
Taotao took a sip of milk and asked doubtfully: "Sister, why don't you sit with them?"
"There are many people sitting together and it's not quiet. Isn't it good to have a quiet breakfast like this?" Nian Mu said, picking up the coffee and taking a sip.
She doesn't like liveliness to begin with, and even if she doesn't bring Taotao with her, she won't sit in a group with them.
Taotao nodded in agreement and said, "Sister is right! Dad once said, don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep."
Listening to the child spitting out a truth, Nian Mu smiled and touched his head.
Halfway through breakfast, both Mu Shaoling and Dong Zijun appeared in the restaurant.
Professor Qian and others came up to greet him and then returned to their seats. They exchanged glances with his assistant, thinking to themselves that Mu Shaoling understood and avoided suspicion.
He and Nian Mu did not appear in the restaurant at the same time, but chose to appear in the restaurant after a period of time with the assistant, so that there was no misunderstanding.
It's just this child, following Nian Mu. Yesterday they saw how dependent this child was on Nian Mu. They must have been brought here because they refused to be separated.
This child was a big failure in their attempt to conceal the truth.
Professor Qian thought he had seen through the whole thing and was very proud of himself. Although Nian Mu's research was excellent, didn't he still have to rely on men?
Nian Mu silently lowered her head and ate her breakfast. After taking the last sip of coffee, she looked at Taotao sitting opposite. He had already finished his breakfast.
"Taotao, come over." She said.
Taotao did not move, but asked: "Sister, are you going to do some work?"
"Yeah." Nian Mu nodded.
Although Taotao was reluctant to say goodbye, she remembered what she had promised her and could only wave her hand reluctantly, "See you later, sister."
"Goodbye." As Nian Mu stood up, he also stood up and walked towards Mu Shaoling.
"Dad." Taotao called, sitting next to him with a flattering smile on his face.
"Back?" Mu Shaoling took a sip of coffee gracefully and frowned.
Even though it was at the level of a six-star hotel, the taste of the coffee was still average. The best coffee he had ever tasted was made by Ruan Bai.
"Dad, please don't be like this...I'm sorry." Taotao couldn't figure it out when she saw his expressionless expression, but it was indeed her fault for leaving the guest room privately, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to apologize obediently.
Mu Shaoling raised his eyelids and glanced at the person who was trying to please him and reduce his anger, his expression unmoved.
Taotao touched the back of his head.
Dong Zijun couldn't help laughing when he saw their father and son like this, but he couldn't laugh in front of Mu Shaoling, so he had to stuff his mouth with food to divert his attention.
Taotao deliberately pretended to be pitiful and tugged on his sleeve, "Dad, I'm afraid of sleeping alone, and you won't sleep with me, so I had to find my sister."
Mu Shaoling picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. He only ate half of the food on the plate, and drank less than a third of the coffee in the cup.
"Go and ask her to look at her phone," he said.
"He? Who is dad?" Taotao asked confused.
Mu Shaoling looked at Nian Mu, and Taotao understood instantly. Because there were still fifteen minutes before the meeting time, she sat down again after standing up, and kept looking at Mu Shaoling's table with her peripheral vision.
Taotao nodded and said, "Oh, you mean sister!"
Mu Shaoling: "..."
Taotao immediately walked towards Nianmu.
"What's wrong? Were you criticized?" Nian Mu touched his head. Because they were far away, she didn't hear what they said.
Taotao shook her head and said, "Sister, dad asked you to look at your phone."
"..."
Nian Mu was speechless, looked at the child and walked back. He used Taotao as a microphone just to let her look at the phone?
She took out her phone and wondered for a moment, remembering Mu Shaoling's friend request yesterday. Did he mean this?
"Professor Nian, we are about to leave." When she was still hesitating, Lei Zhong came over and reminded her.
Nian Mu came back to his senses, nodded, and did not look towards Mu Shaoling, but hurriedly followed Lei Zhong away.
Mu Shaoling kept looking at her from the corner of his eye. After Nian Mu left, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened it to take a look.
Friend verification did not pass.
Mu Shaoling had a calm face and put the phone back into his pocket.
Taotao saw this and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
