At this point, Mu Nanxun surprisingly showed a hint of evasion, her ears burning slightly, and said, "You don't understand, this is a secret."
"A secret?" Yi Yi became even more curious when Mu Nanxun said that, and kept pestering him to explain. "Could it be that you can figure this out on your own?"
"Why not? Every man has a period of youthful confusion." Mu Nanxun felt that this question couldn't be explored any further, otherwise his noble and upright image in Yi Yi's eyes would be seriously affected.
Yi Yi wanted to ask more, but Mu Nanxun picked her up and carried her forward, whispering in the crook of her neck, "If you want to know, I'll tell you slowly later."
Yi Yi's neck tickled from his breath as he spoke, and she kept burrowing into his arms, saying, "Mu Mu, stay away from me."
Mu Nanxun: "Impossible."
The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, and Mao Mao followed behind them dejectedly.
Mao Mao was internally devastated: "I've been eating dog food all night, and now I'm forced to wear this ugly thing! Hey, when you're done, take this ugly thing off my neck! It's hideous! Did you hear me?! I have my pride too!"

To everyone's surprise, Old Master Mu returned.
When Mu Nanxun carried Yi Yi into the door, the whole family looked solemn and watched them quietly.
Yi Yi had never met Grandpa Mu, but she had heard Li Ma and Uncle Zhang talk about him.
The story goes that Mu Wenya, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, originally had a devoted lover. Their love was passionate and their vows of eternal love were endless. However, Old Master Mu strongly opposed their relationship because the other party was an unknown nobody, and he used various methods to prevent them from being together. Later, Mu Wenya's lover, in order to show Old Master Mu his determination to marry Mu Wenya, went into business with someone else, but unfortunately, he was killed in a shipwreck and his body was never recovered.
After that, Mu Wenya was depressed for a long time, and her relationship with the old man became very strained. She didn't speak a word to him for a long time. After an unknown period of time, Mu Wenya began to improve and was finally able to say a few words to the old man, but she was left with a lot of illnesses, and her heart died along with it.
Not long after, the old man handed over all the affairs of the Mu family to Mu Nanxun to manage. He traveled around with one of his subordinates and had not returned to Philadelphia for several years.
Therefore, Yi Yi kept her distance from Old Master Mu and never imagined that they would meet one day.
"Put me down quickly." Yi Yi struggled for a moment, a sudden sense of panic rising in her heart. Even her lover, who was perfect in Mu Wenya's eyes without a single flaw, couldn't catch the eye of Old Master Mu, let alone someone of unknown origin like herself.
Mu Nanxun glanced at Yi Yi, gently put her down, and unhurriedly buttoned up her suit jacket. Every movement was slow and gentle, as if he were handling a priceless treasure, as if he didn't even see the old man sitting upright on the sofa.
Finally, the old man couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, roaring, "You brat, I've been sitting here for ages and you haven't said a word. Are you blind?!"
"When did you get back?" Mu Nanxun finally buttoned up the last button on Yi Yi's suit jacket, took her hand, and walked a few steps forward, stopping in front of the old man. His tall figure shielded Yi Yi.
"Brother Xun"
