Chapter 154 Grandma Wants to See You and Chenchen
Lu Yiran put down his chopsticks and said softly:
"Nan Yan, thank you."
Mu Nanyan raised her head and looked at him with some doubts:
"Thank me for what?"
Lu Yiran was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke:
"Thank you... for being willing to cook for me."
Mu Nanyan was stunned for a moment. Didn't she make this meal just to get rid of Chenchen? What does it have to do with him?
Mu Nanyan still took Lu Yiran's face into consideration and said lightly:
"Nothing, just something I did."
Lu Yiran didn't say anything else, but just continued to eat silently. Although the atmosphere at the table was a little silent, it was not awkward.
————
After dinner, Mu Nanyan went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, while Lu Yiran wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Chenchen.
He cleared his throat and said casually:
"Chenchen, it's so late now, shouldn't you go to bed? I'll take you to take a shower."
Chenchen raised his head and looked at him meaningfully, with a hint of vigilance on his face.
"Uncle, you're not trying to peek at me and take advantage of me, are you? I'm an adult now and I don't need anyone to help me bathe."
Lu Yiran was choked by Chenchen's words, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
The little bit of father-son affection that had just developed in his heart was instantly shattered by Chenchen's "adult theory".
He sighed helplessly, wondering why this little guy's mouth was so powerful?
Seeing that Lu Yiran didn't say anything, Chenchen raised his eyebrows proudly, turned around and skipped to the room where Mu Nanyan had lived before to take a shower.
Lu Yiran stood there, looking at his back, feeling helpless and amused.
After a while, Mu Nanyan came out of the kitchen after cleaning up and found that Chenchen had finished taking a shower and was sitting on the sofa. Lu Yiran was holding a hair dryer and carefully helping him blow dry his hair.
Seeing this scene, Mu Nanyan's heart couldn't help but warm.
Over the years, she and Chenchen have been dependent on each other. Although Chenchen has never mentioned the word "Dad" on his own initiative, she knows in her heart that Chenchen must also be longing for fatherly love deep in his heart.
She walked over gently, and Lu Yiran just turned off the hair dryer. He looked up at Chenchen and said gently:
"I've had someone clean up a room for you. Go and have some rest."
When Chenchen heard this, she immediately became unhappy and said with a pout:
"No need to go through so much trouble, Sister Yan and I can just sleep together!"
Lu Yiran secretly complained in his heart:
"Aren't you afraid that your mommy will take advantage of you now?"
But he still maintained a gentle smile on his face and said in a serious tone:
"Chenchen, didn't you say you're an adult now? Adults have to sleep alone."
Chenchen blinked and immediately retorted:
"Who said I'm grown up? I'm obviously just a child!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Mu Nanyan, blinking his big eyes, and said coquettishly:
"Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Mu Nanyan looked at Chenchen's pitiful appearance, and her heart softened. Thinking that Chenchen might feel insecure in an unfamiliar place, she smiled and nodded:
"Okay, Chenchen, sleep with me tonight."
When Chenchen heard this, he immediately looked at Lu Yiran proudly, his little face full of the joy of victory, as if he had just won an important game.
Looking at his smug look, Lu Yiran felt helpless and a little sour.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "I haven't even been able to sleep with Nan Yan yet, but this little brat got there first."
Mu Nanyan looked at Lu Yiran's hesitant expression and couldn't help but smile. She patted Chenchen's head gently.
"Okay, Chenchen, let's go to bed."
Chenchen immediately jumped off the sofa, took Mu Nanyan's hand, and skipped towards the room.
Before leaving, he turned around and made a face at Lu Yiran, as if to say:
"Look, Mommy is mine!"
Lu Yiran stood there, looking at the backs of the mother and son, feeling helpless and a little envious.

Mu Nanyan came out of the shower and found Chenchen already asleep on the bed.
The little guy curled up in the quilt, breathing evenly, with a sweet smile on his face, obviously sleeping soundly.
Mu Nanyan walked over gently and tucked the corner of the quilt for him, her heart full of tenderness.
She was about to lie down to sleep when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't checked her phone yet, so she picked it up and took a look.
The screen displayed a message from Cui Hao:
【Have you found Chenchen? 】
Mu Nanyan glanced at the time. The message was sent at around eight o'clock in the evening, and several hours had passed.
She was afraid that Cui Hao would get anxious waiting, so she quickly replied:
[Chenchen has been found. Thanks to your help today.]
As soon as the message was sent, Cui Hao's reply came:
【It's so late and you're still awake? 】
Mu Nanyan smiled and tapped quickly on the screen:
[Just finished washing up and getting ready for bed. ]
Cui Hao's message came again soon:
[Then you should go to bed early. Chenchen has already called me to tell me this in the evening.]
Mu Nanyan guessed that Cui Hao was probably talking about finding Chenchen today.
She didn't say anything more, simply replied "OK", put down her phone and prepared to go to bed.
The next morning, when Mu Nanyan woke up, she found a message from Cui Hao on her phone:
【Good evening. 】
She took a look at it, didn't reply to his message, and put the phone aside.
She turned her head to look at Chenchen who was still sleeping soundly, and felt at ease.
Mu Nanyan got out of bed quietly to wash up, for fear of waking up Chenchen who was still sleeping soundly.
She thought that if she rushed back to Haicheng and then went to school today, she would definitely be too late, so she simply asked for leave for Chenchen.
She called her teacher, briefly explained the situation, and then began to clean herself up.
When she finished packing and walked out of the room, she happened to meet Lu Yiran coming out of the next room.
He was wearing a neat suit and his tie was tied meticulously. He looked particularly energetic. It seemed that he had important arrangements today.
Mu Nanyan was not used to seeing a man standing in front of her when she woke up early in the morning, especially Lu Yiran.
She nodded awkwardly at him and said hello softly:
"morning."
Lu Yiran glanced at her and asked calmly:
"Is Chenchen awake?"
"not yet."
Mu Nanyan answered, her voice still very soft, for fear of waking Chenchen.
"Um."
Lu Yiran responded, and the two of them walked downstairs together.
When going downstairs, Mu Nanyan thought about taking Chenchen away today, and felt it necessary to say hello to Lu Yiran, so she said:
"After Chenchen wakes up and has breakfast, we'll go back to Haicheng."
Lu Yiran did not respond immediately, but walked in silence. Seeing that he did not speak, Mu Nanyan felt a little uneasy, afraid that he would regret it, so she added:
"We agreed yesterday that I would take Chenchen away after staying one night."
When Lu Yiran heard her words, he paused slightly and a helpless look appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that in Mu Nanyan's heart, he was such an untrustworthy person. He sighed and whispered:
"I don't mean to regret it, it's just... Grandma wants to see you and Chenchen."
