Little Fox watched Jiang Xueling leave with a face full of sorrow. Then it jumped onto a nearby chair, curling up into a ball. It knew it couldn’t ask for too much; being able to stay outside was already quite good.
Alright, to be able to stay outside permanently, it would endure.
Mu Qiancheng carried Little Reunion out of the room. Bai Yuhua had already set the breakfast and was waiting for them. Seeing the family of three coming out, she smiled and said, "Come quickly and have breakfast."
After breakfast, Mu Qiancheng hurried back to the military, while Jiang Xue was going to the hospital to relieve Mrs. Jiang, so they left together.
While walking, Mu Qiancheng decided to tell Jiang Xue about Mr. Mu, so he said, "Xue’er, let me tell you a story."
So, Mu Qiancheng told Jiang Xue about Mr. Mu as if it were a story. As he narrated, he observed Jiang Xue’s facial expressions. Seeing that she wasn’t against it, he finished telling the rest of the story.
After finishing the entire story, Mu Qiancheng stopped and looked at Jiang Xue, asking, "Xue’er, the old man wants to meet you, what do you think?"
Jiang Xue looked at Mu Qiancheng, a hint of a smile on her face, and said, "What if I’m not willing?"
"Then I’ll just tell him directly. Anyway, I won’t force you."
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Xue’s face grew even broader, and she said, "Qiancheng, you’re talking about Mr. Mu, right?"
"Xue’er, how did you know?" Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue in shock. He hadn’t mentioned Mr. Mu earlier, so how did Jiang Xue know?
"Qiancheng, to tell you the truth, I have already met Mr. Mu. Not only I have met him, but Dad and Mom have met him too."
"What? You’ve all seen him? When?" Mu Qiancheng was even more surprised, somewhat disbelieving.
He knew clearly what kind of temper his father had. Normally, his father shouldn’t have agreed to meet Mr. Mu.
"It happened —on that day, we had just arrived in Xu City, and then I took my parents out to eat, and we ran into Mr. Mu at the restaurant."
Jiang Xuling briefly recounted the incident, and only then did Mu Qiancheng realize that it wasn’t that his father wanted to meet Mr. Mu, but a chance encounter.
No wonder, after listening to the story he told, Jiang Xue immediately guessed that the person wanting to meet her was Mr. Mu; so that’s what happened.
"By the way, did Dad say anything?" Mu Qiancheng asked with concern.
"Qiancheng, Dad said he would never forgive Mr. Mu. However, he wouldn’t stop us from associating with him. So I went to see him alone the next day and gave him a piece of calligraphy." Newest update provided by novel·fiɾe·net
After hearing what Jiang Xue said, Mu Qiancheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had initially been worried that his father might not agree to their association, but unexpectedly his father was so open-minded.
With his father’s approval, they wouldn’t have to secretly associate anymore.
"Since that’s the case, let’s bring Little Reunion to visit him next time I’m free."
"Okay, you set the time," Jiang Xue agreed with a smile.
It was apparent that Mr. Mu was not an ordinary person, and befriending him certainly had no downsides.
While chatting, the two soon arrived at the crossroads and then went their separate ways, one heading back to the military, the other taking the bus to the hospital.
At the hospital, Jiang Xue happened to encounter a doctor doing rounds. Seeing that it was Professor Han himself, she felt a bit worried. These days, she had secretly given Father Jiang the spring water from the space, unsure if there would be any issues.
Although Little Fox assured her repeatedly that there would be absolutely no problem, she was still a little anxious.
