Listening to the child's childlike words to defend himself, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't run away from home again?"
Taotao stuck out his tongue, and he accidentally became anxious.
"Sister, I'm talking nonsense." He took her hand and rubbed his face affectionately.
Nianmu watched him keep acting coquettishly to her, smiled helplessly, and touched the child's head.
Mu Shaoling sat in the car, watching the interaction between the two of them as tenderly as mother and child, and the light radiating from Nian Mu's eyes was as maternal as that of motherhood.
This kind of look cannot be faked casually.
Mu Shaoling felt it real.
Taotao glanced to the right, her eyes lit up, and said: "Sister, dad's car is here."
Nianmu looked at the slowly approaching car and nodded, "Yeah."
Taotao took the initiative to walk to the back seat, and Nianmu stepped forward to help him open the door. After Taotao got in the car, she bent down to get in the car, but she heard the child say: "Sister, you sit in the passenger seat.
"
"Ah?" Nianmu glanced at the passenger seat and felt bad.
This distance to Mu Shaoling is too close. Now that the limelight is on the rise, it won't be good to be photographed by reporters again.
Taotao urged: "Sister, it's so boring for dad to drive alone in the driver's seat. Go and accompany him."
Nian Mu was speechless. If others knew about it, they would think that she was trying to match him up with Mu Shaoling.
She pinched his face, got in the car, and said, "You will be bored in the back seat, so I'll stay with you, okay?"
Taotao thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, sister."
Nianmu smiled, closed the car door, and sat next to Taotao. She felt much more relaxed.
If she were allowed to sit next to Mu Shaoling, she would be nervous to death.
Mu Shaoling glanced at them from the rear mirror, made sure they were seated properly, stepped on the accelerator and left.
Taotao stayed close to Nianmu, seeming to feel her nervousness, so she kept talking to ease her mood.
In the car, there were all the children's childish words. Nianmu looked at him with loving eyes and responded to his words.
Mu Shaoling drove to the apartment.
Ever since I moved back to my old house with my children, the apartment has been empty. Except for regular cleaning, no one comes in or out.
"Dad, are you going to the apartment?" Taotao looked out the car window and recognized the road.
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling nodded and glanced at Nian Mu in the rear mirror.
His movements were random, but she still noticed it with her delicate mind, and her heart skipped a beat inexplicably.
Mu Shaoling withdrew his gaze and stared at the road ahead, "There is a supermarket ahead, you can buy groceries there."
"Okay." Nian Mu nodded and looked at the scenery outside the window.
In three years, a lot has changed here. The only thing that has not changed is the supermarket in front.
Nian Mu remembered that more than three years ago, she often bought ingredients in this supermarket to cook for Mu Shaoling and her children.
Mu Shaoling parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road. Nian Mu put on his hat and prepared to open the door.
"Sister, I'm going too," Taotao said, wanting to follow her.
Nianmu looked back at him, shook his head and said, "I'll go buy some food and be back soon, Taotao, you follow..."
She paused and almost said, "You are staying in the car with your father."
Fortunately, he held it back. If Mu Shaoling heard it, he would be suspicious if he was so smart.
The words she stopped made Mu Shaoling feel strange. This tone seemed familiar...
He turned around and looked at the woman who was about to get off the car.
Nian Mu concentrated his expression and said, "You guys should be in the car. I'm going to buy things very quickly. Just wait."
Taotao pouted, not happy to be separated from her, her eyes fell on Mu Shaoling, "Dad!"
"Wait in the car." Mu Shaoling said, understanding Nian Mu's arrangement.
The media is still spreading that report wildly. If reporters photograph him and Nian Mu visiting the supermarket together, the previous suppression by the Nian Mu family will definitely be in vain.
This afternoon the housekeeper of the old house called and said that their people could not find the reporter, so they could only use connections and money to suppress public opinion.
Although Mu Shaoling is not afraid of these remarks, if it continues to develop, Ruan Bai's current temper will definitely make him cry and cry.
He doesn't want to have too much trouble.
If you can't find the reporter for this news, then let it go. There are many people in the upper class of City A, and a new gossip will soon cover this news.
Taotao pouted after listening to his commanding tone. Couldn't he see that he wanted to get closer to Sister Nianmu?
Nian Mu put on his hat and said, "I'll be back as soon as I go."
Mu Shaoling nodded and watched her open the car door and walk into the supermarket.
Taotao suddenly leaned forward and said, "Dad, you can look away."
"What did you say?" Mu Shaoling looked back, being exposed, but his expression remained calm, with no intention of panic.
"You were looking at Sister Nianmu just now." Taotao said.
"Aren't you the same?" Seeing that he was exposed, Mu Shaoling exposed him mercilessly.
"Dad, I think my sister can do it, but you can't. You are a married man." Taotao shook his head and said. Although he did not think that his mother at home was his real mother, the relationship between the two of them as husband and wife was at stake.
There, there's no arguing with that.
When Ruan Bai was mentioned, Mu Shaoling's eyes darkened.
"You're just a kid, so you can't do it." He said, feeling inexplicably depressed, and took out the cigarette and put it down again.
Mu Shaoling was unwilling to smoke in front of his children.
"Humph, I will grow up!" Taotao protested dissatisfiedly, holding her hands on her chest, just like a little adult.
Listening to his son's possessive tone, he remembered that when he just came back from Russia, he wanted to be intimate with Ruan Bai, but Taotao always stood in the middle.
At that time, the way he protected Ruan Bai was the same as the way he loves Nian Mu now.
Although Taotao was kind and cute in the past, she always kept a polite distance from other people, unlike now.
"Taotao." Mu Shaoling opened her thin lips lightly, called him, and expressed her doubts, "Why do you like her so much?"
"Because my sister is a good person." Taotao said with a smile.
"Because of those snacks?" Mu Shaoling remembered that when he came back, he was carrying a large bag of snacks. Although he knew that his son was not the kind of person who was easily bribed by snacks, he couldn't help but want to know the reason.
"Dad, am I the kind of child who will be bought off by snacks?" Taotao looked at him with contempt, "I just like my sister, I liked her from the first moment!"
"You also said that you are a child, and there is no happiness between children and adults." Mu Shaoling poured cold water on him. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Taotao and Nianmu being so close.
Do you feel worthless for Ruan Bai?
Mu Shaoling quickly denied this reason, but could not find any other reason to explain it.
