Nian Mu felt that she should leave with a strong attitude, but at this moment, she still couldn't bear to leave her children.
This unclear thought made her feel frustrated.
At least she knew what she needed before, but now, she was almost confused about what she needed.
Nianmu gently pushed Taotao away from him and stood up.
This was the first time she pushed away. Taotao raised her head in confusion and looked at her, "Sister?"
Nian Mu concealed his emotions and explained: "It's almost dinner time, I'll go cook first."
Taotao watched her walk into the kitchen and looked at Mu Shaoling sensitively, "Dad, did I say something wrong that made my sister unhappy?"
Mu Shaoling shook his head and noticed that Nian Mu's mood was not right, but it was not because of the child. She probably felt uncomfortable now, with various emotions intertwined.
He wanted to help her, but what could he do if she didn't speak?
"Dad, go and coax your sister." Ruanruan pushed his hand gently, thinking that it was a group of children surrounding her that made her bored.
Mu Shaoling knew what she was thinking and emphasized: "She has always loved you, so don't think too much."
Ruanruan nodded.
Mu Shaoling stood up and said, "I'm going to see what's going on."
With that said, he walked into the kitchen.
Nian Mu took out the vegetables from the refrigerator that the part-time worker bought when he came to work, and thought about what to make for the children.
Mu Shaoling leaned at the door of the kitchen, "What happened at the police station?"
Nian Mu was lost in thought when he was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and looked at the man at the door.
"I didn't mean it." Mu Shaoling noticed her little movement.
"It's okay, I was just thinking about what to cook, and I was a little lost in thought..." Nian Mu put the unused ingredients back in the refrigerator.
Seeing how reluctantly she explained, Mu Shaoling continued to ask, "Were you bullied at the police station?"
"No, they have no evidence, so they won't do anything to me." Nian Mu shook his head, worried that he would stand up for him, and explained quickly.
Mu Shaoling remained silent. It was either because of the police station or her children.
He has always had a doubt in his heart, what is controlling Nianmu, so she has been unwilling to admit her identity to them.
Seeing that Mu Shaoling was still standing there, Nian Mu asked, "Mr. Mu, are you okay?"
"No, the children are very worried about your mood, so they asked me to come here to comfort you." Mu Shaoling told her directly that he came here according to the wishes of the children.
Nianmu sighed, his straight man's answer made her feel funny and helpless.
"I'm fine. If you watch here, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook a meal in two hours."
Being looked at by him is a blessing, but this happiness is also accompanied by discomfort.
His eyes were so profound that he seemed to be able to see through her inner thoughts at a glance.
Mu Shaoling squinted his eyes slightly, "Watching you cooking reminds me of someone."
"Who is it?" Nian Mu put the vegetables on the cooking table, preparing to clean them and cut them.
"My wife." Mu Shaoling said, noticing that when she said this, her body tensed up, "She used to cook for the children often, and the children also liked to eat the food she cooked.
Every time I know she is cooking, I will definitely carry out a disc drive and eat all the food on the table."
Nian Mu was washing vegetables with his back to Mu Shaoling. Only he knew how stiff her movements were now.
"Really? Your children are not picky eaters either. No one should be picky about their food, right?" She tried to soften her voice to make her words sound more natural.
Mu Shaoling added: "They are picky eaters and don't like to eat many foods. Unless they are made by their mother or you, they will eat all the foods they don't like."
"Is that so? Maybe it's because my cooking tastes good that the children will appreciate it." Nianmu watched the water from the faucet dripping down, just like himself at the moment, constantly swallowing the bitterness into his stomach.
Seeing her talking like this, Mu Shaoling didn't say anything more, but turned around and left.
The children were sitting in the living room. When they saw their father coming back, they quickly asked: "Dad, is sister okay?"
"If it wasn't good, why would I cook dinner for you? Don't worry." Mu Shaoling comforted them.
Ruanruan glanced at her brother. Girls are inherently delicate and sensitive. What adults say is okay may not necessarily be okay.
After dinner, the nanny was clearing away the dishes, while Nian Mu went upstairs, planning to continue working.
As soon as I sat down, Abep's phone came in.
Nianmu looked at the string of garbled characters on the phone screen and sighed. Did he install surveillance on himself?
Why would he call her every time she had an illusion of happiness, reminding her that the reality was cruel and that she would never be happy?
Nianmu stood up with his cell phone, walked into the bathroom in the bedroom, and turned on the faucet.
Mu Shaoling and her children now live here, so she has to be more cautious.
The surrounding environment was noisy, so Nianmu pressed the answer button, "What's the matter?"
"Is the research you are doing about to be launched on the market?" Abep asked.
Nian Mu's heart tightened, was he going to take action?
"You want me to disclose my formula first and then let it go into trouble? If I do this, won't I just dig a hole for myself?" Nian Mu lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.
In order to take revenge on Mu Shaoling, he would do anything.
But she can't.
Abep's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Ivana, I don't know what you are planning? Don't worry, what you are guessing is not what I want to do."
Nian Mu did not feel relieved, but asked: "Then what do you want?"
"I finally arranged for you to go back. I won't let you be exposed easily. If you are exposed, then you will be useless as a chess piece. I will not let you get rid of it so easily. The pain I endured back then, you and
Mu Shaoling also needs to experience it once!"
Listening to Abep's gloomy words, Nianmu clenched his hands into fists.
What does he want to do? How much does he have to torture the couple before he gives up?
Do you really want them to die?
Abep continued: "I want you to steal another professor's research results, publish them in advance, and cause the biopharmaceutical company to suffer heavy losses. Then, your status will be even higher. What I want you to do is,
Mu Shaoling, take over his biopharmaceutical company."
Nianmu took a breath, he had this idea in mind.
If she really takes over the biological company, then all research will be in her hands.
