Chu Tianxing had initially assumed Mu Liuyun was a woman, and was prepared for the worst—he could simply never hold a grandson again. But now, the woman he thought was a woman turned out to be a man, and Mu's grandson at that! That was simply...
This is absolutely thrilling!
The old saying goes that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment; the reverse is also true.
My daughter has feelings for Mu Liuyun, who is Old Man Mu's grandson. Now my daughter's feelings and my own little dream can both come true.
It's a win-win situation, a double celebration!
Does it matter if you ask about Mu Liuyun's abilities? At worst, we can just find him to be a live-in son-in-law; our daughter can afford to support him anyway.
As for Mu Liuyun's character, how could he not trust his brother Mu's grandson?
He liked Mu Liuyun more and more the more he looked at her, and he couldn't wait for the two children to get married tomorrow.
Influenced by the broken windows theory and the beauty effect, Chu Tianxing reached out and patted Mu Liuyun on the shoulder: "Young man, you must be Brother Mu's grandson?"
"Ahem, yes."
Chu Tianxing nodded.
"A handsome young man, not bad! I heard you're studying at Jinan University?"
"Yes, I studied computer science."
Chu Tianxing nodded again.
"Exceptionally intelligent, not bad! I heard you've been working odd jobs?"
"Yes, I was delivering food before."
Chu Tianxing continued to nod.
"Hardworking and resilient, that's good! By the way, how old are you this year?"
"I just turned 20."
Chu Tianxing's expression immediately changed, his brows furrowed, and his expression became serious: "Why is it so small? Does that mean I have to wait another two years!"
"ah?"
Mu Liuyun was stunned again, not understanding what Chu Tianxing meant. At first, he was secretly happy that Chu Tianxing hadn't questioned the matter of women's clothing, but upon hearing Chu Tianxing's words, as a man, he couldn't stand others calling him young.
What do you mean by "small"? I'm not small at all!
Although I can only say these words in my heart.
Mu Liuyun didn't understand the meaning behind Chu Tianxing's words, but Chu Yaqin understood immediately. She knew that Chu Tianxing wasn't saying she was too old, but rather that he thought Mu Liuyun was too young to get a marriage certificate directly.
Although I'm glad Chu Tianxing is satisfied with Mu Liuyun, things are still far from settled. Aren't you just causing trouble by being in such a hurry?
So, Chu Yaqin, her face slightly flushed, pulled Chu Tianxing back to the main seat: "Dad, stop fooling around! So what if you're a little young? You can still have more fun these next two years!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxing sat down and looked at his daughter with a complicated expression: "What did you study abroad?"
Before I knew it, my daughter had grown up and learned so much.
For the first time, Chu Tianxing regretted sending Chu Yaqin abroad for further studies. Foreign countries really aren't a kind place; he wondered what his daughter had learned and whether Mu Liuyun could handle it.
Brother Mu, I'm so sorry!
After silently apologizing to Mu Lixiong, whom he hadn't seen for many years, Chu Tianxing sat back down in his chair, straightened his clothes, and transformed back into a proper adult.
"Xiaoyun, is it alright if I call you that?"
Mu Liuyun nodded: "Sure, Uncle, please feel free to do as you please."
Mu Liuyun was always quite polite in front of his elders. As an orphan, he was best at getting along with his elders.
However, in Chu Yaqin and Chu Tianxing's eyes, Mu Liuyun's politeness turned into...
So cute!
I really want to give him a gift.
Mu Liuyun's appearance was like a virus, causing both father and daughter to become obsessed with marrying him (they were determined to make their daughter marry him).
The father and daughter's unusual behavior made the atmosphere strange again. Fortunately, the waiter arrived in time with the food, and the aroma of the food dispelled the bad luck.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Mu Liuyun felt a surge of excitement.
He was a foodie, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a gourmet. From a young age, he loved to taste and make all kinds of food. In the past, when conditions were not good, whenever he had time, he adhered to the attitude of "never being too particular about food" and "never being too particular about cooking". Even if it was just a bowl of instant noodles, he would put his heart into cooking it.
So when he heard Old Man Mu say yesterday that he had the chance to come to Shuiyilan for a banquet, he was actually very happy. However, he got drunk later, and although he ate his fill, it was like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit – he didn't get to taste anything at all.
Moreover, for some reason, all the dishes on the table were his favorites.
Could it be that Old Man Mu told Uncle Chu? Uncle Chu is really observant.
As Mu Liuyun looked at the dishes on the table, Chu Yaqin beside him was also staring at him. When she saw Mu Liuyun's satisfied expression, Chu Yaqin's red lips curled up slightly.
Mu Liuyun's preferences were not something Old Man Mu told Chu Tianxing, but rather something Chu Yaqin researched on her own.
Yesterday, when feeding Mu Liuyun, Chu Yaqin noticed that Mu Liuyun could easily put the food he liked into his little mouth, but he would refuse to open his mouth to eat things he didn't like, such as fish, even after the bones were removed.
As a top student, Chu Yaqin easily memorized it.
Chu Tianxing didn't miss Mu Liuyun's little tricks either. As soon as the dishes were served, he saw Mu Liuyun's eyes widen, and he laughed heartily twice: "Xiaoyun, you really look like your grandfather. Back when I was serving in the army under Brother Mu..."
"Do I look like my grandfather?"
Mu Liuyun looked at Chu Tianxing with a puzzled expression. In her memory, before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, the old man Mu was always a tall and imposing figure. When she was a child, he liked to tickle her with his beard.
Mu Liuyun is not only petite, but you can't even see a single hair on her face. How is that similar to him?
Seeing that Mu Liuyun hadn't touched her chopsticks for a long time, Chu Yaqin realized something and quickly gave Chu Tianxing a meaningful look.
Chu Tianxing finally understood, and chuckled as he patted his head: "Hey, look at me, why am I telling you all this? Young people don't like listening to this anyway. Let's eat first!"
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks.
No, who said they didn't want to hear it!
Mu Liuyun was a little anxious. Old Man Mu never told them stories about his youth. They finally had a chance, but Chu Tianxing only told the beginning, which aroused their interest, and then stopped.
He lowered his head and pouted in dissatisfaction, making sure no one could see the expression on his face.
However, Chu Yaqin, who had been keeping a close eye on Mu Liuyun, did not miss this small detail. She slowly reached out and grabbed Mu Liuyun's hand holding the chopsticks like an eagle striking its feathers. She leaned close to Mu Liuyun's ear and breathed softly.
"What, aren't you going to eat? Do you want me to keep feeding you?"
Chu Yaqin's words reminded Mu Liuyun of what happened last night, and she blushed and turned her head away, looking as shy as a young wife.
