"No, no." The old man laughed and waved his hand. "Apart from sounding a bit silly, there's absolutely no problem. But it suits your temperament perfectly; most people wouldn't deserve such a cute and silly name."
Everyone: "..." Are you sure this is their biological child, not someone they picked up from a trash can, or someone they got as a free gift with a phone top-up?
Mu Nanxun: "If there's nothing else, let's go back to our rooms and get some sleep."
After saying that, Mu Nanxun stood up gracefully and took Yi Yi's hand as they walked upstairs.
Yi Yi stood there blankly as Mu Nanxun pulled her along, her mind completely blank.
Sleep...sleep? Did he mean simply sleep, or...?
"Stop right there!" The old man's smile vanished, replaced by a furious roar. He strode over to the two men, panting heavily, stared at them for a moment, then angrily separated their hands and raised a hand at Yi Yi. Mu Nanxun instinctively shielded Yi Yi behind him, glaring angrily, "What are you trying to do?!"
The old man's temper flared up instantly, and he snapped, "Get lost! What do you take me for? I don't hit women. I told her to go rest first, I have something to say to you!"
Mu Nanxun glanced at him hesitantly, still somewhat uneasy, "Say what you have to say here, we need to rest."
"Get lost! Can't I even talk to you alone? Are you always so horny? Will it kill you to be apart for a little while?! Get your ass to the study right now!" The old man angrily kicked at Mu Nanxun, but missed.
Mu Nanxun was used to the old man's way of speaking to him, and he knew that there must be a reason why the old man suddenly came back. He could only let go of Yi Yi's hand and said gently, "Then you go back to your room and sleep first. I'll be right back."
"Oh." Yi Yi nodded obediently. With the old man present, she seemed a little uneasy and dared not relax.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Nanxun turned and walked towards the study. The old man turned around, his anger gone, replaced by a kind, smiling expression. He winked at Yi Yi, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. Tomorrow morning I'll guarantee you a healthy, whole Mu Nanxun... oh no, I mean Mu Mu."
Yi Yi: "..." Wasn't the old man supposed to be cold-hearted and domineering? She felt that this old man was like a child, much easier to take care of than Grandma Arno.
Watching Mu Nanxun and the old man go upstairs, Yi Yi felt a little nervous. Mu Wenya noticed her thoughts, pushed the wheelchair to her, and asked, "Are you worried about Nanxun? Don't worry, he'll be fine. Don't be fooled by the old man's stern tone; he actually loves him very much."
"Sister Wenya, I'm not worried about Mumu, I'm worried... worried..."
"I'm worried that the old man won't like you or will look down on you," Mu Wenya said with certainty, as if she had seen through him.
How does she know everything? Yi Yi stared at her, nodding frantically, "Sister Wenya, won't Uncle Mu think I have an unclear background and am not good enough for Mu Mu? Just like how he looked down on your lover back then..."
At this point, Yi Yi noticed a change in Mu Wenya's expression, a hint of sorrow flashing in her eyes. Some things are better left unmentioned; once brought up, sadness overwhelms them.
Yi Yi realized she had said the wrong thing and secretly bit her tongue. How could she have brought up Wenya's sad story?
