Chapter 146 You are not allowed to bully my mommy!

After Mu Nanyan calmed Chenchen down, she stood up and looked at Lu Yiran warily, her tone somewhat defensive:

"Mr. Lu, why are you holding Chenchen? He's just a child."

Lu Yiran raised his eyebrows, his tone a little nonchalant:

"Why are you so nervous? I'm just chatting with him."

Mu Nanyan then realized that her reaction seemed a bit extreme and might have aroused Lu Yiran's suspicion. She quickly explained:

"When I bring Chenchen out to play, I must be responsible for his personal safety, otherwise I won't be able to explain to his mother."

"Who's his mommy?"

Lu Yiran stared at Mu Nanyan, with a hint of probing in his tone.

"I really want to meet her. Every time I see this little guy, he's with you. Are you his mommy?"

Mu Nanyan's heart tightened, especially when she heard Lu Yiran's last half sentence, her heart almost skipped a beat.

She didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only pretend to be calm, trying to hide her inner panic.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Yiran's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and his tone was a bit threatening:

"Mu Nanyan, you'd better not lie to me. You should know my abilities. If I want to know, I can check it myself, but you should know what the consequences of my finding out will be."

Lu Yiran's words instantly reminded Mu Nanyan of what happened in Yujing Tiancheng - Lu Yiran pinched her neck, his eyes full of coldness and anger, as if he wanted to put her to death.

That scene was like a thorn that pierced her heart deeply, and she still felt a chill when she thought about it.

If Lu Yiran really checked and found out that Chenchen was his son, he would definitely fight with her for custody. By then, she might never see Chenchen again.

Thinking of this, Mu Nanyan's heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.

Lu Yiran just stared at Mu Nanyan, watching her face turn from red to white and her expression becoming more and more ugly. He didn't know what Mu Nanyan was thinking.

Just as he was waiting for Mu Nanyan's answer, Chenchen, who had been hiding behind her, suddenly stepped forward and pushed Lu Yiran hard.

He used all his strength, but only made Lu Yi take a small step back.

Chenchen raised his head and glared at Lu Yiran angrily, with a hint of childish anger in his voice:

"You weird uncle, you are not allowed to bully my mommy!"

As soon as the word "Mommy" came out, Lu Yiran's eyes lit up instantly. He looked at Mu Nanyan with a hint of surprise and confirmation in his tone:

"He is really your son? Then his father..."

"I know what you're thinking, Lu Yiran."

Mu Nanyan interrupted him directly, with a somewhat cold tone.

"He is not your son."

Lu Yiran was stunned, then sneered:

"Mu Nanyan, you're really good at lying. Any passerby can see that Chenchen and I look a lot like each other, right? You tell me he's not my son, then tell me whose son he is? Is it your child with someone else?"

At this point, Chenchen already understood that the annoying uncle in front of him was his biological father.

He finally understood why he was born without a father, but if he had known that his father was such a person who bullied his mother, he would rather have never had a father.

Chenchen looked at Lu Yiran, his tone calm and firm:

"I have a dad. He will be back in two days."

When Lu Yiran heard this, he was even more shocked. He remembered that Chenchen had said that he couldn't steal his father's girlfriend. Could it be that Mu Nanyan really married someone else and had a child? This child wasn't his?

His expression darkened instantly, and his tone was filled with questioning:

"How old are you now?"

Before Chenchen could speak, Mu Nanyan spoke first:

"Four years old."

Lu Yiran was silent. If Chenchen was really his child, he should be four and a half years old now, almost five years old, but Chenchen was only four years old. Does this mean that Mu Nanyan was with someone else not long after going abroad?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and his eyes were filled with a bit of coldness:

"We just divorced last month. How could you marry someone else and have children? If you were really with someone else, why did you wait so long to get a divorce? Mu Nanyan, you lied to me."

Mu Nanyan was forced into a corner by Lu Yiran's words, and her heart was in a state of panic. She knew that she could no longer escape and had to give him an explanation.

She took a deep breath, her tone filled with fatigue and helplessness:

"Yes, Chenchen is your child. Are you satisfied?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and a hint of pain flashed in her eyes.

"Lu Yiran, ever since I left the capital, this child has nothing to do with you. You have so many women around you who would be willing to bear your child. Why do you have to keep staring at Chenchen?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, but also a deep sense of powerlessness. Mu Nanyan paused and continued:

"It was just an accident at the beginning. You didn't think about taking responsibility for me. So now Chenchen doesn't need you to be responsible. He is only my child, Mu Nanyan, and has nothing to do with you."

Lu Yiran was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Nanyan to admit it so directly. However, Mu Nanyan's attitude made him realize that she had never thought of letting Chenchen recognize him.

Chenchen also looked at him warily, as if afraid that he would hurt Mu Nanyan. Lu Yiran was hurt by their eyes and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Lu Yiran's silence, Mu Nanyan thought he had acquiesced. She didn't want to waste any more words with him. Even if Lu Yiran wanted to fight for the custody of the child, she would never give up.

She took Chenchen's hand and walked straight towards the box, leaving Lu Yiran standing there, staring at their backs with complicated eyes.

Returning to the private room, Zhou Ruxuan noticed that the two looked unhappy and asked with concern:

"Nan Yan, what took you so long? Did something happen?"

Mu Nanyan forced a smile:

"It's okay, Chenchen got lost, I just went to look for him."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that she was still emotional.

"So that's how it is. Come sit down and eat, the food will get cold soon."

Zhou Ruxuan didn't ask any more questions, but just greeted them gently.

"good."

Mu Nanyan took Chenchen to sit down. Although the dishes on the table were delicious, they had no appetite. They just took a few bites and put down their chopsticks.

After everyone had finished eating, Mu Nanyan went to pay the bill and asked Zhou Ruxuan to arrange a car to take everyone back home to rest early. Starting tomorrow, the studio would officially start work.

Mu Nanyan took Chenchen into the car and drove directly back to the military compound. On the way back, neither of them spoke. Chenchen kept staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
