"Boss, what are you talking about menopause? That's something for people in their fifties or sixties. I'm only in my early thirties, I have plenty of time!"
Mu Nanxun remained silent, staring at him as if he were a monster.
Xiao Fang sensed something was off, and after a moment's realization, he hurriedly corrected himself, "No, no, menopause is something only women experience. I'm a grown man, what kind of menopause would I have!"
"When you have free time, read more books and sleep more, and talk less nonsense."
Mu Nanxun hit the nail on the head.
Xiao Fang was on the verge of tears. "Boss, I'm doing this for your and Xiao Guoguo's own good. Even if you don't think about yourself or Guoguo, what about Miss Xia? She's over twenty years old. We can't let her take care of you and Xiao Guoguo without any official status. If word gets out, it will ruin her lifelong happiness. Besides, Miss Xia was originally your fiancée. It's fate that you two are together."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun turned his head and looked in Xia Bingqing's direction.
After a long silence, Mu Nanxun finally spoke, "Bingqing, come to the study with me, I have something to say to you."
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs without any expression.
"Oh, Brother Xun is here! Wait for me!" Xia Bingqing quickly put down the fruit plate and chased after him.
Xiao Fang was pleased, thinking that Mu Nanxun had taken his words to heart. Heh heh, after working for the boss for so long, he really did a great job!
"Little Guoguo, what fruit do you want to eat? Uncle Fang will feed you..."
The thought of facilitating a beautiful marriage and finding a suitable and competent mother for Xiao Guoguo filled Xiao Fang with joy. She ran to Guoguo with a grin, picked up a fruit plate, and used a fork to hold a strawberry to Xiao Guoguo's lips. "Come on, open your mouth, ah..."
Guoguo waved her hand, refusing, "No, no, Daddy said, if someone is being overly solicitous for no reason, then... um, they must be up to no good."
Xiao Fang's face darkened, and her fork trembled, almost spilling the strawberries. She felt as if a flock of chattering crows flew overhead. Why did the boss have to teach Xiao Guoguo this of all things?
"Ahem, little Guoguo, be good. This phrase isn't used to describe Uncle Fang; it's used to describe bad people."
"Hmph, Guoguo isn't stupid. Uncle Fang is just being nice for no reason; he's up to no good. Guoguo knows you want Daddy to find her a new mommy. Guoguo has a mommy; she doesn't want anyone else to be her mommy!"
How...how does this little guy know everything?
The little one finished speaking in one breath, snatched the fork from the still-shocked Xiao Fang, and fed the strawberry into her mouth. Sigh, she really missed her mommy, but she also really didn't want anyone else to be her mommy.

In the study, Mu Nanxun was organizing a pile of photos.
Xia Bingqing walked in with a smile, and even closed and locked the study door after entering.
Her face flushed, and she walked up to Mu Nanxun, her voice so sweet it could drip honey.
"Brother Xun, what's up? Why did you call me?"
Mu Nanxun stepped aside and took out a bank card from under a pile of photos.
"You've worked so hard taking care of Guoguo these past few years. There's ten million in this card, and the PIN is the last six digits of the card number. Take it and buy whatever you want. Clothes, jewelry, babies, precious stones, or even real estate... If it's not enough, just ask me for more."
Xia Bingqing glanced at Mu Nanxun tentatively. What did it mean that Brother Xun suddenly gave her so much money?
