Although he decided to spend these few days with Yi Yi and take a break for himself, he couldn't neglect his work at the company.
Upon hearing Yi Yi call him that, Mu Nanxun stopped what he was doing, looked up at her.
"What's wrong, hmm?"
Yi opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back down.
"Are you asking about Xia Bingqing? Don't worry, there was nothing between us to begin with. The engagement was just a formality. The reason we're keeping her at Maple Riverside is because the Xia family is involved with the assassin who broke in here before, the one who injured you. We need to use Xia Bingqing to temporarily keep Xia Quan'an at bay."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yi simply nodded and replied calmly.
“I know. But that’s not what I wanted to ask.”
Sensing that she seemed to be implying something, Yi Yi casually put the tablet aside, sat down next to her, and pulled her into her arms, stroking her soft hair as she gently asked,
"So what do you want to ask, hmm? Is there anything else you're worried about? Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."
Yi blinked her eyes, like a docile kitten, and snuggled into his arms, rubbing against him.
He always took care of everything, big and small, so she wouldn't have to worry.
But it is precisely this kind of arrangement that sometimes catches her off guard.
"Mumu, does Grandpa know about us? Most importantly, does Grandpa know my true identity? Will he agree to you being with me?"
She knew that the old man's mind was definitely not as open-minded as Mu Nanxun's. Even if it were anyone else, once they knew her true identity, they would probably only see her as a monster. How many people would accept her as family? Therefore, she didn't think that the old man would agree to her being with him and becoming their daughter-in-law so quickly.
Sure enough, Mu Nanxun paused upon hearing this question and let out a barely perceptible sigh.
"It's okay. Who I'm with is my business, and I don't need anyone else's approval. I'll explain to Grandpa."
"Hmm~"
What else could she possibly worry about? Since she had already decided to be together, she should trust him completely, shouldn't she?
"Is there anything else you're worried about?"
She shook her head, hugged him tightly, and rested her little head against his broad and thick chest.
Mu Nanxun's tall figure paused for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Why are you suddenly being so proactive? Hmm? Have you finally realized how 'good' I am?"
Her passion and gentleness overwhelmed him, leaving him constantly on the verge of collapse.
"I just want to hold you, is that not allowed?"
Yi tilted her head back and acted coquettishly.
Mu Nanxun smiled knowingly, moved closer, hugged her tighter, and whispered intimately in her ear.
"Of course you can. You can hug me whenever you want, and for as long as you want."
"Um……"
She buried her head in his chest, silently savoring the unique scent emanating from him.
He thought she wanted it, so he picked her up and made her straddle him.
"I'm rested enough, I can continue..."
At this point, as if suddenly remembering something, he glanced at the hickeys all over her body and asked uncertainly,
"Is your body still able to handle it?"
"Hmm." Yi Yi answered casually, but quickly realized the true meaning behind the other person's words, and her face instantly turned as red as a ripe persimmon.
Mu Nanxun watched with great tenderness, "Where do you want to be? On the bed, in the bathroom, or on the sofa..."
