Although he said thank you, Mu Liuyun showed no intention of touching his chopsticks. He simply sat quietly at the table, appearing somewhat uneasy. His hands unconsciously fiddled with the hem of his clothes, and his gaze occasionally drifted to the sumptuous "delicacies" on the table before quickly looking away.
"Eat, why don't you eat?"
Lin Hongmei looked at Mu Liuyun with a face full of doubt, her expression seemingly genuinely curious about Mu Liuyun's actions.
However, her constantly trembling shoulders betrayed her true inner thoughts.
She was clearly laughing; she never stopped.
In stark contrast to Lin Hongmei was Lin Fangyi, who narrowed her eyes slightly and frowned gently, as if looking at a disobedient child: "Xiaoyun, I know you're young and impetuous, but after this afternoon, you should take better care of yourself. Come on, be good and finish all these dishes."
These words sounded so sincere that it was hard to doubt her true intentions.
Only Zhang Rui, who had escorted Mu Liuyun in, wore a look of utter dismay, as if he'd swallowed a fly. He inwardly groaned, "Bosses, Yun-di doesn't need any of this! It's me, this incompetent butler, who truly desperately needs to replenish these things!"
“That’s right, that’s right, you can’t go wrong listening to your second sister. And don’t forget, the future of our Lin family depends entirely on you to carry it forward!” Lin Hongmei echoed Lin Fangyi’s words while secretly making plans in her heart.
In her opinion, it would be perfect if she could find Mu Liuyun ten or eight beautiful wives.
With the Lin family's wealth, supporting a few more people would be a piece of cake.
The attitude of Lin's two older sisters makes it seem like they brought Mu Liuyun back to make him a stud.
Please! How can such a charming and adorable boy and girl be described simply as a stud?
Mu Liuyun is so handsome, he should marry several beautiful women and have dozens of children. That would be the right thing to do.
In this way, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce baby boys and girls in the future?
At that time, everyone here will have a chance!
Upon hearing Lin Hongmei's words, Mu Liuyun blushed, but it wasn't out of shyness; rather, it was because she was furious.
He retorted angrily, "Lulu just fell asleep, can't you tone down your lewd words? The relationship between Lanxin and me isn't what you think... uh."
Halfway through her sentence, Mu Liuyun suddenly stopped, as if realizing that what she was about to say was difficult to say.
After all, he and Shen Lanxin did indeed do some intimate things during the afternoon they spent together.
Honest Mu Liuyun couldn't bring herself to say something against her conscience; she would be letting down everything she had earned and sacrificed for.
Since things have come to this, why not just accept it calmly?
Upon careful consideration, aside from making his blood boil and his heart surge, there seemed to be nothing wrong with eating this meal.
Just as Mu Liuyun was about to speak, Lin Fangyi and Lin Hongmei exchanged a glance and then chuckled in unison.
Lin Fangyi waved her hand and said softly, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, Xiaoyun. Your sisters know what you're thinking and know you don't need these things. There's food prepared for you here, have some."
As she spoke, Zhang Rui, who was sitting to the side, stood up and walked briskly toward the kitchen.
In no time, he came out carrying several plates of delicious-looking dishes in both hands.
These dishes were still carefully prepared by Lin Fangyi, and they were all dishes that Mu Liuyun liked. One of them was Mu Liuyun's favorite sweet and sour pork.
This made him curious: how did his two older sisters find out?
Do rich people really know what other people like to eat?
(Chu Yaqin: It is I who speaks of the importance of maintaining a good relationship with one's sister-in-law.)
However, even though these were all dishes that Mu Liuyun liked, he still felt troubled looking at the table full of delicious food.
Although he has now returned to a wealthy family, he still has no intention of changing his good habit of cherishing every grain of food and never wasting it.
From childhood, whenever he read articles in "The Poisoner" and "The Hysteria" that described developed foreign countries, and saw milk and bread that were ruthlessly dumped into the trash in some countries due to overproduction, his heart would ache.
So he couldn't help but ask, "But what about all these vegetables?"
We can't let these young ladies eat leftovers tomorrow.
Hearing this, Lin Hongmei quickly smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Mu. Let Zhang Rui eat all the leftovers; he needs to replenish his nutrition."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rui paused, seemingly conflicted, but ultimately bit his lip and said, "Ah? Okay..."
Not long after, Mu Liuyun finished her meal in a flash.
Seeing this, Lin Hongmei thoughtfully got up and led him to a cozy room, telling him that this would be his temporary residence. This room happened to be next to Lulu's room and originally belonged to Lin Yurou, the third son of the Lin family. However, Lin Hongmei said that Lin Yurou had recently gone out to help a friend with important business, so the room was temporarily vacant.
As for the other sisters, they were all busy with their own things. Some were busy preparing for their upcoming concert; others had gone out excitedly to find their childhood playmates, leaving only four people at home (not counting Zhang Rui).
Fortunately, everyone will be going home tomorrow to see their long-lost younger brother.
As for why Mu Liuyun was arranged to stay in Lin Yurou's room, according to Lin Hongmei, it was mainly to give Mu Liuyun a sense of belonging.
This luxurious villa actually has many guest rooms, and Mu Liuyun once spent the night in one of them when she was taking care of Lulu.
However, the past is the past, and the present is the present. It is a foregone conclusion that Mu Liuyun will become a member of the Lin family.
As Mu Liuyun began making the bed, she inadvertently noticed a photograph on the bedside table.
The photo features a total of eight people, each smiling brightly and radiating happiness. Undoubtedly, this is a family portrait of the Lin family.
However, it can no longer be called a complete family photo, because Mu Liuyun is missing from the picture.
Mu Liuyun stared intently at the seven faces in the photo that resembled her own. One of them appeared particularly mature and composed, even more charming than Lin Hongmei, and gentler than Lin Fangyi.
In addition, the only man in the photo is also noteworthy.
His face was serious and unsmiling, but his slightly overweight body revealed a sense of amiability, which made the man appear both approachable and dignified.
These two people must be his biological parents...
For some unknown reason, looking at the two people in the photo, an overwhelming emotion surged into Mu Liuyun's heart, and she felt her eyes sting and even wanted to cry.
It's not sadness, it's just...
Even the strongest winds eventually find their way home.
"Um, what did you say, little Yun?"
Lin Fangyi, who was helping her pack her luggage, asked without looking up.
"Um...where are Father and Mother?"
Mu Liuyun's eyes flickered, his lips parted slightly, and the words lingered in his throat for a long time before finally escaping his lips slowly. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Lin Fangyi, who was busy helping him pack his luggage, his eyes revealing a hint of caution and anticipation.
Lin Fangyi paused slightly, then looked up and smiled at Mu Liuyun, saying, "They're still abroad, but don't worry, they'll be back by the end of the month."
Although Mu Liuyun's tone still carried a hint of awkwardness and distance when she mentioned the words "father" and "mother," Lin Fangyi felt very gratified and happy to hear such terms.
After all, there's plenty of time in the future.
"oh."
After a moment of silence, Mu Liuyun seemed to ask another crucial question: "Where will I sleep after Third Sister comes back?"
Without hesitation, Lin Fangyi replied, "Aren't there plenty of guest rooms?"
"Oh, okay."
Mu Liuyun responded softly. A slight sense of loss welled up in his heart, but he quickly perked up again.
Don't most young masters have to sleep in the basement or storage room when they get home? It's already pretty good that he can sleep in a guest room!
"Your third sister can sleep in the guest room."
"Oh, huh?"
