“A son-in-law is…”
Luo Chenxi paused.
“A son-in-law is a little brother who plays with you.”
After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a relatively safe answer.
The little dumpling’s eyes lit up and she said excitedly, “Then, Tang Tang has a lot of sons-in-law! There’s brother Shaoxuan, brother Yan, brother Qi, and…”
“Cough cough cough… Stop, stop, stop! Tang Tang, why do you have so many little brothers?”
The little dumpling tilted her little head and bit her finger. She innocently blinked her big round eyes. “Because they are all very handsome!”
After a pause, she added, “But brother Shaoxuan is the most handsome!”
Luo Chenxi facepalmed.
Why was her little dumpling so obsessed with looks?
Who did she inherit it from? Just who!
Did Mu Yichen seem like that kind of person?
“Ahem, anyway… it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
Luo Chenxi was afraid of accidentally being a bad influence to Tang Tang. That might just cause the little girl’s daddy to finish Luo Chenxi off with euthanasia.
She quickly cut off the conversation and carried Tang Tang into the car.
…
At the Mu family Villa.
“Ring, ring…”
The crisp ringing of the phone sounded.
The butler, who was instructing the maids to prepare dinner, stopped what he was doing and went to pick up the phone.
“This is the Mu residence. May I know who this is?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
The butler thought that it was a wrong number on the other end and was about to hang up when a voice was heard. “I haven’t been home for the past few days. Is everything alright back there?”
“Ah? Young… young master?”
The butler almost dropped the phone in his hand from the shock.
‘Why did the Young Master suddenly call home? He’s even asking about the situation at home!”
In the past, when Mu Yichen went overseas for work matters, he never once called home on purpose.
Now, it had only been less than ten days since he left, yet he was already making a call back home.
Could it be that Mu Yichen was not satisfied with the butler’s performance?
The poor butler shivered from head to toe and answered with trepidation, “Young Master, don’t worry, I, Old Chen, have always been a diligent worker. Everything is in good condition at home, every nook and cranny of the house remains sparkling clean.”
“The wines hidden in the underground basement are arranged in their correct order and preserved under the correct temperature. I just went to have a look, there are no problems indeed. As for the trees in the backyard…”
“That’s enough, I’m aware of all of this. Is there anything else?”
Mu Yichen quickly cut him off on the other end of the phone.
“Ah? Anything else? Young Master, is there anything else you want to know? I will definitely report to you truthfully!”
The corners of Mu Yichen’s mouth twitched, and he spoke more bluntly, “It’s just… How’s everyone at home? Is everyone alright? Has Tang Tang been a good girl? What about Weiwei and Yiling?”
The butler finally reacted and quickly said, “Young Master, so this is what you were asking about! The Little Miss has been a very good girl, she’s been in a good mood everyday. The Young Miss has also been attending school on time, the second Young Master has been going out to play pretty often, but he always returns home before twelve midnight, so everything is fine at home!
“You…”
Mu Yichen held his frustration in his chest.
He tried asking about his siblings and Tang Tang, and the butler really only talked about the three of them and nothing else!
Could he not just say a little more?
What a blockhead!
Mu Yichen leaned against the headboard of the bed and looked out the window at the dawn with a gloomy face.
He had been to the M Country for more than a week, but not only did a certain damnable woman not call him, she did not even send him a message. She completely treated him as a cheapskate husband who did not exist.
Seemed like she indeed wanted him to be away from home so no one could control her.
“Other than them? The rest of the people in the house…” Mu Yichen tried to beat around the bush.
At this moment, a child’s voice came from the phone, “Big sister, Tang Tang is hungry. Can Tang Tang have a piece of chocolate first?”
Mu Yichen pursed his lips and changed what he wanted to say, “Pass the phone to Tang Tang!”
