Mu Shaoling raised his brows and pushed open the door. Taotao walked in and looked back at him, "Dad, am I right?"
Mu Shaoling did not answer his question.
After the fake Ruan Bai was placed next to him, he could not feel any love for the face that was exactly the same as Ruan Bai. However, he still responded to her requests.
Although there is no such thing as a married life, the two of them appear in the same frame many times, and they are still a model couple in the newspapers, magazines and media of City A.
Unexpectedly, Taotao saw so clearly.
Mu Shaoling did not answer his question, but asked: "Why do you like Nian Mu so much?"
Seeing that Taotao was talking, she said the most direct thoughts in her heart, "Because I think my sister is very kind, just like my mother."
Compared with Ruan Bai, he felt that it was only in name and without much emotion. He preferred to follow Nian Mu. When they first met, he felt that the other party was very kind.
Mu Shaoling listened to the child's confession and touched his head. The fine hair was inserted into his fingertips. His heart softened, thinking that the child was going to have his hair cut again.
"Where are your brothers and sisters? Do you also like her?" Mu Shaoling asked.
Taotao shook her head, "I don't know. My brother and sister always think I'm a kid and don't want to say too many psychological things to me, but I know they don't like my mother."
Although it is strange to say this, none of the three of them like Ruan Bai.
Mu Shaoling knew that. Seeing that it was getting late, he urged: "Go and wash up quickly, and then go to bed."
Taotao nodded, and when she was about to walk into the bedroom to get her pajamas, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Dad, will you divorce your mother one day?"
Although he is young, he already knows a lot about the adult world.
He has several classmates whose parents are divorced. They even struggled for a while whether they should live with their father or their mother.
Taotao thought to himself that if his parents divorced, he would definitely choose his father.
"No." Mu Shaoling said. He has no relationship with the fake Ruan Bai from City A, not even a marriage relationship. How can he get a divorce?
When I heard Taotao, I was a little disappointed.
In fact, he was thinking that Mu Shaoling said that he would divorce their mother, so that Nian Mu might become their mother.
However, his father doesn't seem to think so...
Taotao shook her head and returned to the bedroom, picked up her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.
After Mu Shaoling adjusted the water temperature for him, he walked out and sat on the sofa.
Taotao is inexplicably kind to Nian Mu, everything is real and natural, not like she deliberately designed it.
Nian Mu, why does she give them a familiar feeling?
Could it be that she is Ruan Bai?
Mu Shaoling thought to himself that even a fake woman could pretend to be Ruan Bai, and a real person could also be given a fake face.
But, if she was Ruan Bai, why did she do this to them?
If she is really Ruan Bai, why can't she recognize them? If she really has any difficulties, she can always give some hints.
But she just didn't do anything. Except that her voice sounded a bit like Ruan Bai, everything else had nothing in common with her.
If she was really Ruan Bai, she would not be willing to leave the child here, nor would she be willing to let him and the child be deceived by a woman.
Mu Shaoling thought this and quickly denied what he was thinking.
After Taotao took a shower, he walked out and looked at Mu Shaoling sitting on the sofa. He walked over curiously and said, "Dad, what are you thinking about?"
Mu Shaoling came back to his senses. He had just been thinking about Nian Mu and was lost in thought. When he saw Taotao's wet hair, he held his hand and walked to the bathroom to help him dry his hair.
"Dad, do you really not think about your sister?" After Taotao's hair was dried, she looked at him in the mirror and asked again.
"Do you really want me to divorce your mother?" Mu Shaoling hung up the hair dryer and tidied up his broken hair.
Ruan Bai was lying and he had no intention of telling his child, so he could only go along with what he said.
No matter how much the fake Ruan Bai looks like after plastic surgery, he can never replicate the real Ruan Bai's feelings for his children. It's not surprising that they are sensitive and aware of it.
"I like my sister very much. Dad, it would be better if you gave birth to me earlier. Even if you have no feelings for your sister, I can marry my sister myself and don't give it to other men cheaply." Taotao said to herself.
Mu Shaoling flicked his forehead and said, "Go and have a rest."
Taotao stuck out her tongue, walked out of the bathroom, went back to the bed and lay down.
Mu Shaoling covered him with a quilt and was about to turn off the lights when he heard the child say again: "Dad, even if you don't have a sister, I still want you to live a happy life. You are not happy at all with your current mother, and you are even unhappy."
Sometimes I wonder if she has really lost her memory, or if she is really not our mother..."
"Don't think so much, go to sleep." Mu Shaoling listened to the child's words. This was the first time he had told her.
All along, the children would not cause trouble to themselves no matter how much they disliked the fake Ruan Bai.
But when he heard Taotao say this for the first time, his heartstrings were inevitably touched. If he had to deal with the fake Ruan Bai in the future, the children would not be reluctant to let go because that face looked like their mother's.
Or if you can't understand it, that's the best.
Sooner or later he will expose the fake Ruan Bai himself and find their mother.
Mu Shaoling turned off the light, leaving only a small lamp on. He walked out of the bedroom and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at the night view of Washington, he recalled every moment he had with Ruan Bai, three years ago...
Ruan Bai, where are you?
…
The next few days were uneventful.
Nianmu's body also returned to normal, and he continued to complete the remaining training with Professor Qian and others.
The report from Si Yao said that it would take two days to come out. It took almost a week to figure out what kind of substance it was.
Nian Mu looked at the report provided by Si Yao. The report showed that this was a substance extracted from marine microorganisms and had anesthetic ingredients. However, the anesthetic ingredients of this similar substance in the microorganisms were very slight.
It can make four grown men sleep for several hours. It seems that the people who extracted it are constantly refining and concentrating the ingredients, so the anesthetic ingredients are doubled.
This substance is not a novelty. The most novel thing is the method of extraction and refining.
Their existing technology simply cannot achieve such a high level of refinement.
After Nian Mu finished reading the report, he put it down. Professor Qian also picked it up and read it. He couldn't help but sigh, "So, we were indeed knocked out by others, rather than drunk?"
