Mu Yun'an's eyes widened, as if she was shocked by his words. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and asked in a voice full of disbelief: "Brother Yi, you...what do you mean by this?"
"Silly girl."
Xiao Chengyi held her face and said, "I am the one who is engaged to you. We are married at the fingertips. You are destined to belong to me from the moment you are born."
Mu Yun'an was surprised and happy, and her eyes became blurry again: "Really? But why did you tell me now?"
Xiao Chengyi regretted a little and said: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but who would have thought that it would backfire and make you shed so many tears? It's my fault that I shouldn't have kept it from you."
Mu Yun'an hugged him and said aggrievedly: "I was almost scared to death. You don't know how bad dad is. He even scared me on purpose."
Xiao Chengyi patted her back gently and sighed: "He is deliberately making me feel distressed."
"Why?"
Mu Yunan asked with confusion.
Xiao Chengyi kissed her eyes, his eyes full of love: "Because I abducted his favorite daughter, he felt uncomfortable."
After a pause, he leaned into her ear and whispered: "If General Mu targets me and teaches me a lesson, you must not speak for me, do you understand?"
Mu Yun'an nodded, suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "By the way, the token is still at my dad's place. Please accompany me to get it back."
Although Xiao Chengyi told her the truth of the matter, she still wanted to hear her father admit it personally so that she could feel at ease, so she pulled Xiao Chengyi out of the house.
When they arrived at Mu Rufeng's room, they saw him reading under the lamp.
Mu Yun'an walked in and took a look at the empty table. The jade pendant had been taken away by Mu Rufeng. She secretly looked at Mu Rufeng's face and called out obediently: "Dad."
Mu Rufeng didn't even raise her head, and asked in a calm voice: "Aren't you angry with me? What are you doing here again?"
"Dad."
Mu Yun'an walked over, grabbed his arm, shook it, and started coquettishly with him: "It's my daughter's fault. She shouldn't lose her temper regardless of the circumstances. Dad, please stop being angry, okay?"
Mu Rufeng snorted and pulled her arm back: "My daughter is getting older and I can't keep her anymore."
Mu Yunan: "..."
She glanced at Xiao Chengyi secretly and asked him what to do with her eyes.
Xiao Chengyi coughed lightly, walked over and said, "Father-in-law, I received a letter from my cousin a few days ago. Do you want to read it?"
Mu Rufeng was slightly moved after hearing these words. Although he also received a letter from Ruyi, the letters contained words that reassured him. Ruyi always reported good things but not bad things.
How was her life in Nanyue? Did she adapt to it? Did she cry? Maybe the answers to these things can only be found in Xiao Jue's letter.
Mu Rufeng put down the book in his hand and stretched out his hand: "Bring it here."
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, asking, "I wonder if your father-in-law is satisfied with me as your son-in-law?"
After Mu Rufeng read the letter, she knew that Ruyi was living a good life in Nanyue, and her worries were relieved. She also looked at Xiao Chengyi more pleasantly.
He took out the brocade box from the drawer and put it on the table and said, "If you dare to bully my daughter, you should know the consequences."
