As soon as she closed the door, the child's yawn came. She turned back to look at the child's obviously sleepy eyes, touched his head, and asked: "When will your father come back from socializing?"
Taotao shook her head and said she didn't know.
When Nian Mu heard this, he didn't want to let him suffer here alone. He thought about reporting to Dong Zijun later, and coaxed the child to sleep first.
"In that case, let's take a rest first?" She said, walking to the bed and lifting the quilt.
Taotao smiled happily and climbed directly onto the bed.
After Nianmu covered him with the quilt, he said, "I'm going to wash up first and then rest. You can rest first, okay?"
"Okay sister." Taotao obediently closed her eyes.
Nianmu dimmed the lights and walked into the bathroom with her pajamas and mobile phone. She first sent a WeChat message to Dong Zijun, saying that the child should rest with her when he was tired, and then rinse briefly.
After washing, she walked out of the bathroom. The child on the bed didn't move at all, as if he was asleep.
Nianmu got on the bed from the other side, and as soon as she lay down, Taotao came close to her.
She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at those big black eyes. These eyes were similar to Mu Shaoling's. When she grew up, her innocence faded away, and they must have been extremely profound.
Nian Mu thought of his youngest daughter Nian Nian. Her eyes also followed Mu Shaoling's.
"Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" She gently stroked Taotao's back.
"Wait for sister to sleep with me." Taotao hugged her arm, relying on her very much.
Nianmu smiled softly and said, "Okay, let's take a rest then?"
"Sister, have you beaten the bad guys away?" Taotao rubbed her pillow and looked at her intently.
Nianmu stopped stroking his back, looked at his big round eyes, couldn't help but pinch them, and said, "Yes, the bad guys have been beaten away, Taotao doesn't have to be afraid."
"As long as my sister is here, I won't be afraid." Taotao said with a smile.
"How brave." Nian Mu touched his head and sighed in his heart. In the past three years, Mu Shaoling not only took good care of his children, but also taught them well.
When I saw the child again three years later, his innocence was still the same and he was not too squeamish.
"Sister, you are great, but you have done good things, can you really not tell them?" Taotao asked.
Nian Mu nodded, "I can't say."
"Why?" Taotao was curious, and before she could speak, she added: "I know, if others know about my sister's abilities, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, just like what happened with grandma..."
Nian Mu was very pleased that he could be so sensible, "Yes, you should keep it a secret for me if you know it. It's getting late, so go to bed quickly."
Taotao hugged her arms tightly and closed her eyes obediently, "Good night, sister."
"Good night." Nianmu moved down and pressed a kiss on his forehead.
The other side.
After Dong Zijun received Nian Mu's WeChat message, he forwarded it to Mu Shaoling.
"Has she returned to the hotel?" Mu Shaoling asked. There were many people sitting in the private room. Sitting there, he had a noble temperament that outshined the others.
"I've gone back," Dong Zijun said.
Mu Shaoling took out his phone and took a look. There was no message from Nian Mu. She seemed to be avoiding him. She even told Dong Zijun about Taotao without informing her personally.
He saw two other WeChat messages sent by his subordinates. He clicked on them and found that one of the messages was a picture.
Mu Shaoling enlarged the picture and squinted his eyes when looking at the content inside the picture.
Since they followed Nian Mu, Mu Shaoling asked them to go back to the hotel and wait. Unexpectedly, when Nian Mu came back, he would bring a man with him.
And this man, even through the screen, he could recognize as her brother.
"What did she say when I entrusted Taotao to her?" Mu Shaoling asked.
Dong Zijun replied: "Professor Nian said that he has to go to a friend's house, so it is not convenient to help take care of the children."
Mu Shaoling put away her phone and took a sip of wine. The friend she was talking about was Amul?
All these explanations seemed normal, but Mu Shaoling felt that it was not normal.
The next morning.
Nianmu woke up on time when the alarm clock sounded.
It has to be said that with Taotao by her side, her sleep quality has improved dramatically.
This is probably peace of mind...
After Nianmu took Taotao to wash up, he was going downstairs to the restaurant to have breakfast. When he opened the door, he found Amul standing by the door.
"Amul, why did you get up so early?" she asked confused.
"I didn't sleep well, so I got up early." Amul smiled and looked at Taotao. This must be his youngest son. Sure enough, he looks exactly like his father.
Taotao looked at the person in front of her in confusion, raised her head and asked, "Sister, who is this?"
"His name is Amul, and he is my sister's younger brother." Nian Mu introduced, "This is Taotao, the son of my boss."
Amul didn't have a good impression of Mu Shaoling, but when he saw how cute the child was, he couldn't dislike her, so he smiled and greeted her: "Hello."
"Hello, uncle." After Taotao greeted her obediently, she then asked doubtfully: "Sister, why does uncle look different from us? Isn't he my sister's brother?"
He was referring to the fact that Amul's Western face was different from theirs.
Nian Mu smiled. The father and son both asked the same question when they met Amul for the first time.
Touching the child's head, she said: "Because he and I don't have the same biological parents, but we are indeed siblings, right, Amul."
"Yes." Amul nodded. Although Nianmu was reluctant to introduce himself to others as her brother, she also knew that in her heart, he was just her brother.
This feeling was very powerless, but he could only accept it and accept his fate.
"When you get up, let's go downstairs and have breakfast together." Nian Mu invited.
"Okay." Amul nodded.
The three of them took the elevator to the restaurant together. Because it was still early and most of the tenants hadn't gotten up yet, the restaurant was empty.
After they got the food, they sat at the same table and ate.
Amul took a sip of coffee and asked, "What are you going to do later?"
"I'm here to study, and of course I have to go to class later. Have you forgotten?" Nian Mu considerately helped Taotao put a straw in the milk.
Amul nodded and looked at the child again, "Then you take him with you?"
"Mr. Mu will take care of the child when he gets up later." Nian Mu explained, knowing that he had doubts, and added: "Mr. Mu had something to do yesterday, so he left the child to me."
Amul nodded, and the children in her area went to sleep.
Although Taotao was originally her son, she is no longer Ruan Bai.
