Chapter 163 This is a matter between us men

Mu Nanyan was stunned by Chenchen's question, then smiled and shook her head, gently tapping his nose:

"Children should not ask questions about adults' affairs."

Chenchen pouted unconvincedly, his face full of dissatisfaction:

"I'm not a child, I'm already an adult!"

Mu Nanyan was amused by his appearance and teased him deliberately:

"Only children call themselves adults."

After hearing this, Chenchen's face fell and he muttered:

"Sister Yan, you're making fun of me again!"

Mu Nanyan smiled and rubbed his hair, feeling relieved in her heart that the topic was finally changed.

Soon, the waiter brought the hot pot dishes one by one. Mu Nanyan boiled the dishes for Chenchen while eating them herself. Chenchen ate with gusto, a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had forgotten the previous conversation.

After finishing her meal, Mu Nanyan was about to pay the bill. She reached for her bag and then she remembered that her phone was not turned on.

She took her cell phone out of her bag and pressed the power button. When the screen lit up, several unread messages and missed call notifications popped up one after another.

The call was from Lu Yiran, and Mu Nanyan ignored it. She then opened WeChat and took a look. She found that most of the messages were about work, and there was one from Tang Yutong:

[Have you arrived yet? Remember to report safe.]

She smiled and quickly replied to Tang Yutong:

[Arrived, just finished dinner, ready to go home.]

After sending the message, Mu Nanyan walked to the cashier to pay. Chenchen followed behind her, holding the corner of her clothes with his little hand, and there was a hint of unsatisfied expression on his little face:

"Sister Yan, can we come and eat hot pot next time?"

Mu Nanyan looked down at him, smiled and nodded:

"Of course, but next time you have to wait until the weekend. You have to study hard during the weekdays."

After hearing this, Chenchen immediately nodded in agreement:

"Okay! Come with your godfather this weekend."

After paying the bill, Mu Nanyan took Chenchen's hand and walked out of the hot pot restaurant. Mu Nanyan drove Chenchen back to the military compound.

On the way, Mu Nanyan remembered what Zhou Ruxuan had mentioned to her before about changing places to live.

She looked at Chenchen sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said softly:

"Chenchen, Mommy wants to discuss something with you."

Chenchen raised his head and asked curiously:

"What's the matter, Sister Yan?"

Mu Nanyan smiled, her tone gentle:

"Do you want to move to another place?"

Chenchen blinked, somewhat puzzled:

"Why do you want to change? Isn't it nice to live at my great-grandmother's house?"

Mu Nanyan explained patiently:

"Mommy's workplace is too far from here. If we live near your school, it will be convenient for you to go to school, and I can go directly to the studio without running back and forth every day."

Chenchen listened, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded:

"Well, when we have time later, we can come back to visit my great-grandmother and great-grandfather and it will be the same."

Mu Nanyan was very pleased with Chenchen's understanding. She said softly:

"Thank you, Chenchen."

Chenchen shook his head, a serious expression on his face:

"It's okay. I don't want Sister Yan to be too hard."

After a while, Chenchen asked again:

"Sister Yan, when are we moving?"

"Maybe in a couple of days. I'm still looking for a suitable house."

"oh."

Chenchen nodded and said nothing more.

Not long after, the car arrived at the military compound. Chenchen jumped out of the car and skipped back to his room.

Mu Nanyan walked into the living room, took a glass of water and was about to drink it when her cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen and found that it was Lu Yiran calling.

Mu Nanyan frowned, looked up at the stairs, and after confirming that Chenchen had not come down, she took her cell phone and walked out of the living room to the small garden outside.

She took a deep breath and answered the phone:

"Hello."

Her voice was cold and distant, without a trace of warmth. Lu Yiran on the other end of the phone felt relieved when he heard her voice, and then asked:

"Why did you and Chenchen leave so suddenly?"

Mu Nanyan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:

"Shouldn't you ask yourself this question? What did you say to Chenchen?"

Lu Yiran was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by her. He was silent for a long time before he whispered:

"Is Chenchen okay?"

"As long as I don't see you, nothing will happen."

Mu Nanyan replied bluntly. Lu Yiran was choked by her and was speechless. He felt helpless. He didn't expect that Mu Nanyan's mouth was so powerful now.

"Please apologize for Chenchen on my behalf."

There was a hint of sincerity in Lu Yiran's voice, and Mu Nanyan was a little surprised when she heard this.

Even the high-ranking Mr. Lu actually apologized? How bizarre.

"So, what did you say to Chenchen that made him suddenly hate you so much? He was fine last night."

Lu Yiran was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"This is a matter between us men."

Mu Nanyan was speechless. Didn't she deserve to know? She said coldly:

"Since this is a matter between you two, you can handle it yourself."

After saying that, Mu Nanyan was about to hang up the phone. Lu Yiran seemed to have guessed her move and quickly said:

"Then give me his phone number. I can't contact him."

Mu Nanyan secretly complained: What does it have to do with me?

But in the end, she still told him Chenchen's phone number. After that, she hung up the phone without hesitation, without any nostalgia.

The next day, Dingsheng Group.

Song Rui arrived at the company early in the morning. He looked listless, as if all his energy had been drained.

Lu Yiran was away these past few days, and all the work fell on him. He looked at the pile of documents on his desk and couldn't help but wail:

"Hey, why is it that when Mr. Lu chases his wife, I'm always the one who suffers!"

He sighed, picked up the top document with a look of despair, and began to work hard.

At this moment, there was a "Ding Dong" sound and the elevator door opened.

Song Rui didn't even raise his head, thinking that other colleagues had come to work, and continued to focus on the work at hand.

However, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of shiny leather shoes out of the corner of his eye. The style looked a little familiar. He was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked, his eyes suddenly widened. Lu Yiran was actually standing behind him!

Song Rui was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank. He rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself:

Mr. Lu is in Haicheng, how could he be behind me? Am I hallucinating because I'm thinking about it all day and all night? Or am I just working too much and seeing ghosts?

He shook his head, deciding to ignore this "illusion" and continued working until Lu Yiran spoke coldly:

"Come to my office."

After Lu Yiran finished speaking, he walked straight to his office, leaving Song Rui sitting there with a dazed look on his face.

Song Rui finally realized that the "illusion" he had just had was actually Lu Yiran himself! He stood up suddenly, almost overturning his chair:

Mr. Lu?! Wasn't he in Haicheng? Why did he suddenly come back?

He muttered to himself as he frantically sorted through the documents on his desk. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Looking at the pile of documents on his desk, a relieved smile appeared on his face:

"Now that Mr. Lu is back, I don't need to handle these documents anymore."

Song Rui suddenly became energetic, holding a large stack of documents, and ran into the president's office happily. He had a bright smile on his face, as if all the fatigue and resentment just now had been swept away.
