Chapter 206 Don’t Pretend, I Know Everything

Mu Nanyan touched Su Xiaonuan's head apologetically: "Didn't you have breakfast this morning?"

"My brother took me to the canteen to buy some bread, and when we got to the classroom, we were almost late..."

Su Xiaonuan tugged at the hem of her skirt in grievance, and Mu Nanyan quickly said:

"Then let me apologize to you on behalf of my brother. I'll make whatever you want to eat for you tomorrow morning and have Chenchen bring it to you then."

"Don't bother, just bring me whatever my brother wants to eat. I just want to try what my mother's breakfast tastes like."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Xiao Nuan."

Mu Nanyan held Su Xiaonuan in her arms and looked behind her, and saw a lady in a beige windbreaker walking towards them. Mu Nanyan had seen her before and had an impression of her. This was Su Xiaonuan's mother, Li Muqi.

"Mommy."

When Su Xiaonuan saw her, she quickly asked Mu Nanyan to put her down and ran straight towards her.

Li Muqi obviously heard what Su Xiaonuan said just now. She brought Su Xiaonuan to Mu Nanyan and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Miss Mu, my daughter has caused you trouble."

Mu Nanyan quickly waved her hands:

"No, I still have to say sorry to you. Chenchen forgot to bring breakfast when he left today, and Xiaonuan almost went hungry."

Li Muqi sighed softly and hugged his daughter in his arms:

"This is also my fault. I... am not very good at cooking. The nanny prepares three meals a day at home." A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Mu Nanyan said softly, "It's okay. I have to make breakfast for Chenchen in the morning anyway. It won't be a bother to make an extra portion."

"It seems that Mu Yang is right. You are indeed a very good person."

Li Muqi said this, his eyes full of admiration for her.

Mu Nanyan was a little embarrassed when she suddenly heard Su Muyang's name from her mouth. She could only ask politely:

"Is he... okay lately?"

"Miss Mu, don't you know? Mu Yang recently went on a trip abroad. He said he had been in the hospital for too long and wanted to go out for a walk."

Mu Nanyan nodded, trying to keep her voice steady:

"I've been busy lately and we haven't been in touch for a long time."

Li Muqi smiled, then looked at Mu Nanyan and said:

"Then we'll leave first."

"Uh-huh."

Then Mu Nanyan looked at Su Xiaonuan and said:

"I'll ask Chenchen to bring you breakfast tomorrow. If you like it, you can tell Chenchen. I'll make it for you in the future."

Hearing this, Su Xiaonuan was instantly happy. She looked at Mu Nanyan and said:

"Thank you, pretty auntie. Goodbye, pretty auntie."

As dusk deepens, the sycamore trees on campus rustle in the autumn wind.

After Mu Nanyan watched Li Muqi and her daughter leave, she continued to wait at the school gate.

The clock had already passed half past five, but Chenchen's class still hadn't finished school. She couldn't help but frown. Usually at this time, Chenchen should have jumped out.

However, everything that happened at the school gate fell into Lu Yiran's eyes.

In the black Maybach across the street, Lu Yiran was gripping the steering wheel tightly, looking towards the school gate.

He and Mu Nanyan arrived at the school gate at almost the same time. He originally thought that Chenchen's attitude had softened in the morning, and as long as he continued to work hard, he would definitely be able to make Chenchen forgive him, so he left work early and came to pick up Chenchen.

Unexpectedly, he saw Mu Nanyan's car at the traffic light in front of the school. He had no choice but to park the car on the road opposite the school.

What he didn't expect was that Mu Nanyan was so familiar with the parents in the school. Judging from the degree of trust the little girl had in her, it was obvious that their relationship was not ordinary. He was very curious about whose child the girl was and what her relationship with Mu Nanyan was?

Finally, the school bell rang, and Chenchen walked out of the school gate slowly with his schoolbag on his back. When he saw Mu Nanyan, he froze.

Where's Lu Yiran? Didn't he say he'd come pick me up? Could he have run into Sister Yan? Chenchen's face turned pale.

Chenchen was nervous in his heart, but Mu Nanyan had no idea what he was thinking. She only saw that Chenchen's reaction to her was not happy, but panic could be seen from his expression. Mu Nanyan looked at Chenchen in confusion and said:

"Chenchen, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy to see me pick you up? Did you do something wrong?"

"No... no Sister Yan, I just didn't expect you to come pick me up, and I didn't react for a moment."

A happy smile instantly appeared on Chenchen's face. As he spoke, he glanced around, fearing that Lu Yiran would suddenly appear.

Mu Nanyan was amused by his guilty look: "Okay, stop pretending, I know everything."

Chenchen's heart sank. He knew? He knew Lu Yiran lived next door? Did Sister Yan really run into him? Thinking this, Chenchen looked around, but didn't see Lu Yiran. He suspected that Lu Yiran had been driven away by Mu Nanyan.

In fact, he really hoped that both of them would show up to pick him up.

Mu Nanyan saw him looking around and thought he was looking for Su Xiaonuan, so she said directly:

"Don't look anymore, Su Xiaonuan has been picked up by her mother."

What does this have to do with Su Xiaonuan? Chenchen was confused for a moment, and looked at Mu Nanyan and asked tentatively:

"Sister Yan, what do you know?"

"It's about you promising to bring breakfast to Su Xiaonuan. Tell me, you promised her, why didn't you tell me? We have to be people who keep our promises. Next time something like this happens, you have to tell me the first time, okay?"

Chenchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he knew everything Mu Nanyan said. It was this matter. He thought she knew that Lu Yiran lived next door. He really scared himself.

"Chenchen, I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?" Mu Nanyan rubbed his head.

"I understand, Sister Yan. If something like this happens in the future, I will definitely tell you the first time."

Chenchen nodded vigorously, and this time his smile was much more sincere.

"That's right, let's go home."

"Uh-huh."

Then Mu Nanyan took Chenchen's hand and walked towards her car. Before getting in the car, Chenchen looked around the empty school gate, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

Lu Yiran didn’t come after all... He said he would pick me up from school, but it turned out to be another lie.

He was worried that Mu Nanyan and Lu Yiran would run into each other, so he hoped that Lu Yiran would not show up here, but when he found out that it was a false alarm, he still hoped that Lu Yiran would show up.

When Chenchen sat in the child seat, his little hands tightly gripped the seat belt.

He looked at the darkening sky outside the window and silently crossed out his expectations for today.

Adults are always like this. The promises they make casually are as easy to break as bubbles.

On the other side of the road, Lu Yiran watched the mother and son's car driving farther and farther away, and finally let go of the steering wheel he had been holding tightly. After Mu Nanyan's car drove some distance, he followed.
