Just as Mu Liuyun was feeling her body grow hair, Chu Tianxing suddenly stood up, grabbed his daughter's arm, and walked towards the door.

The two walked to the entrance of Peony Pavilion. Chu Yaqin pretended to struggle for a moment, then looked at Chu Tianxing with dissatisfaction: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"I asked you to pick up Brother Mu's grandson, why did you bring your friend? It's not like I forbade you from bringing your friend. Even if you did bring your friend, you should at least have picked him up!"

Chu Tianxing, who always doted on his daughter, was now all serious, and his voice even carried a hint of anger.

"How can I face Brother Mu if you do this!"

In fact, Chu Tianxing had been looking forward to meeting Mu Lixiong's grandson since yesterday, but he waited and waited and waited and did not see him. He only saw the letter that was delivered.

So after getting his contact information in the letter yesterday, Chu Tianxing called Mu Lixiong that evening. The two had a very pleasant conversation and even discussed Chu Yaqin and Mu Liuyun's marriage over the phone.

Although it was Old Man Mu who brought this up, Chu Tianxing wholeheartedly agreed. After all, as the old saying goes, "like father, like son," and Old Man Mu's grandson must be an outstanding individual.

However, no matter how much support he provides, he still needs to be sure whether the two children are willing.

After all, judging from his performance at yesterday's banquet, his daughter is very likely to be a bronze medalist.

So today I deliberately acted a bit more serious, wanting to test what kind of person this young man was. If he really caught my eye, I could try to set him up.

Of course, in the end, it was Chu Yaqin who made the final decision.

To make himself appear as serious as possible, Chu Tianxing even got a pair of non-prescription glasses to wear and maintained that uncomfortable sitting posture.

After waiting for a long time, Chu Yaqin brought a girl back, which almost made him lose his composure.

Especially when the girl took off her hat, revealing a face even prettier than her own daughter's, Chu Tianxing felt somewhat angry.

"Dad, what are you saying? The person I brought here is Mu Liuyun!"

"Nonsense! Your father isn't senile yet, I can't even tell the difference between men and women! Your Grandpa Mu has said it so many times, it's a grandson, a grandson! It's a man!"

Chu Tianxing suddenly became furious. He hadn't raised his voice at a girl in over a decade, but now he was yelling and shouting in Shui Yilan's hallway.

He had seen Lin Yurou's photo before and recognized the girl just now as the good friend that Chu Yaqin had been hugging yesterday.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianxing's expression turned somewhat bitter: "Sigh, Dad knows you're smart, you guessed why I asked you to bring Brother Mu's grandson here."

“But if you really like that girl, Dad won’t force you. But the way you’ve done things makes me so ashamed to face Brother Mu!”

Chu Tianxing was angry one moment and disappointed the next, which made Chu Yaqin smile bitterly: "Dad, you've misunderstood. That child is either Lin Yurou or Mu Liuyun, the grandson of Grandpa Mu."

"What did you say?"

Seeing her father's surprised look, Chu Yaqin didn't lose patience. Instead, she mischievously leaned close to Chu Tianxing's ear and said, "I said, that child is a boy~"

"ah?"

Chu Tianxing froze on the spot, motionless like a stone statue.

"You mean, the one who's even prettier than you is actually a man? Or Brother Mu's grandson?"

Chu Tianxing's words made Chu Yaqin purse her lips and simply nod.

What do you mean she's prettier than him? Isn't she her father's little darling?

Then, she glanced back at Mu Liuyun, who was sitting somewhat awkwardly in the private room.

A slight sense of restraint gave Mu Liuyun a touch of adorable shyness, which made her face appear even more alluring.

Okay, Dad is right.

"I see, I see."

Chu Tianxing's previous hesitation vanished, replaced by a look of relief that came from sudden realization.

No wonder, no wonder.

When we talked on the phone last night, when Brother Mu suggested that the two kids get married, he jokingly said, "What, are you in such a hurry to let the little pig rob my cabbage?" After that, Brother Mu would respond meaningfully, "Well, it's not certain whose cabbage it is yet."

Chu Tianxing followed his daughter's gaze and looked at Mu Liuyun by the table.

Her eyes sparkled with brilliance, her face radiant and jade-like.

For some reason, these two sentences just popped into my head.

Looking at her own daughter, although she was still pretty, she was nowhere near as endearing as Mu Liuyun.

"Looks like it really is my pig trying to steal his cabbage..."

"Um?"

Before Chu Yaqin could react, Chu Tianxing took off his glasses, his chilling seriousness vanished, replaced by a kind, elderly-looking face, as he prepared to return to the private room.

Before he even stepped inside, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "By the way, why was he dressed as a woman yesterday? Does he have some kind of unusual hobby?"

Chu Tianxing's laughter sent shivers down Chu Yaqin's spine. Hearing her father's question, she thought for a moment.

Although Mu Liuyun was wearing a wig and women's clothing when he was first seen, it was later discovered by Li Guang that Mu Liuyun did not usually wear women's clothing when going out, based on the normal clothes and sneakers that were found in the dressing room.

That dress was probably the work of those two makeup artists. After all, she had received "special treatment" from them before attending the banquet yesterday.

so...

"Probably not? Uncle Li gave him those clothes."

"Li Guang? That's good, that's good! Hahaha!"

Upon hearing the name Li Guang, Chu Tianxing knew exactly where the problem lay.

After all, although Li Guang was excellent at his job, he always seemed to lack common sense when it came to dealing with matters concerning Chu Yaqin's life.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Chu Tianxing laughed and walked back to the private room. As soon as he entered, he went to Mu Liuyun's side and stared intently at her.

"uncle?"

Just now, Chu Tianxing's eyes were like a wolf's eyes when facing an enemy, but now, Chu Tianxing's eyes made Mu Liuyun feel that she had changed from his enemy to his prey.

Is this an attempt to question him about why he disguised himself as a woman to deceive Chu Yaqin?

Put yourself in his shoes. If his daughter were approached by a cross-dressing pervert and even groped (forced), he wouldn't give that pervert the slightest bit of a friendly look.

Oh no, after going through so many detours, he still can't escape the fate of becoming Chu Tianxing's male slave?

No!

Mu Liuyun scanned her surroundings, determined her escape route, and placed her hands on the table, ready to make her escape at any moment.

"Hmm, very good!"

Unlike Mu Liuyun's trepidation, Chu Tianxing's smile gradually deepened.

From Chu Yaqin's behavior and attitude towards Mu Liuyun, Chu Tianxing had long since seen through his daughter's thoughts. After all, his daughter had never liked interacting with people since she was a child; let alone men, she had never even had any intimate contact with her close friends.
