Chapter 181 Don’t mess around with the couple
"Sister Yan, get up!"
Chenchen shouted while gently pushing Mu Nanyan who was still sleeping.
Mu Nanyan opened her eyes drowsily, her voice lazily filled with sleepiness:
"Chenchen, what time is it now?"
"It's ten o'clock! Sister Yan, hurry up and get up. We have to go pick up our godfather this afternoon!"
Chenchen's tone was full of excitement, as if he couldn't wait to go out.
Mu Nanyan then remembered that today was the day Cui Hao was returning to China.
She sat up suddenly from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and saw Chenchen was already dressed and ready to go at any time. She couldn't help but smile:
"It's still early. Your godfather won't be here until the afternoon."
"I know!"
Chenchen pouted. Although she said that, her eyes couldn't hide her anticipation.
Mu Nanyan slept late last night and didn't expect to get up so late this morning.
She threw back the quilt and got out of bed, Chenchen following her like a little tail, not leaving her side for a step. Mu Nanyan went into the bathroom to wash up, and Chenchen stood at the door, peeking in from time to time, as if he was afraid that she would be late to pick him up at the airport if she was slow.
After washing up, Mu Nanyan took Chenchen downstairs.
It was rare that both Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen were at home today. They were sitting in the living room drinking tea. Mu Nanyan greeted them politely:
"Grandma, Grandpa, good morning."
Chenchen also called out obediently: "Great-grandma, great-grandpa, good morning!"
Old Mrs. Shen looked at them with a smile, her tone loving:
"Hey, Yanyan, are you awake? How did you sleep?"
Mu Nanyan smiled a little embarrassedly:
"It's fine, but I went to bed a little late last night and got up late today."
Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand and said tolerantly:
"It's okay, young people, it's okay to sleep a little longer."
Mr. Shen put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Mu Nanyan:
"I heard Cui Hao is coming back today?"
"Yeah, Chenchen and I are planning to pick him up this afternoon."
Mu Nanyan smiled and nodded, and Mr. Shen showed a nostalgic look on his face:
"That's great. We haven't seen him for a long time. Back then, you and Chenchen were in Country F. Thanks to him for taking care of us, you can ask him to come back for dinner when you have time."
"I understand, Grandpa. I will definitely tell him."
"Well, let's go have breakfast."
Mr. Shen waved his hand lovingly.
"good."
Mu Nanyan responded, lowered her head to look at Chenchen beside her, and asked softly:
"Did you have meal?"
Chenchen immediately puffed out her chest and raised her chin proudly:
"Sister Yan, I've already eaten! Do you think I got up as late as you?"
Mu Nanyan was amused by his little adult appearance and reached out to gently scratch his nose:
"Even if you've already eaten, eat a little more with me. After I finish, we'll go pick up your godfather. We won't be able to eat again until evening."
Chenchen tilted his head and thought for a moment, pretending to be reluctant:
"Okay, I'll eat a little more then."
After saying that, he stretched out his little finger and made a little gesture.
"Let's go."
Mu Nanyan took Chenchen's hand, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen, talking and laughing.
Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mr. Shen looked at the two men's departing backs and smiled at each other.
Old Mrs. Shen sighed softly, with a gentle smile in her eyes:
"Look how happy Chenchen is! This kid has loved sticking to Cui Hao since he was little."
"Yes, Cui Hao really treats them and their mother very well."
Mr. Shen nodded, his tone full of emotion. Mrs. Shen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she lowered her voice and said:
"It would be nice if Yanyan could be with Cui Hao."
"Stop messing around with matchmaking. If they wanted to be together, they would have been together a long time ago. Why would they wait until now?"
Mr. Shen frowned immediately, but his tone was not harsh. Mrs. Shen curled her lips.
"I was just saying this casually. Why are you so fierce, old man?"
"I'm not being mean to you. I'm just being honest. Don't talk about this kind of thing in front of the kids. It'll make everyone embarrassed."
"I know, I'm telling you."
"That's good to know."
Mr. Shen picked up the teacup and took a sip. Mrs. Shen, seeing her husband's state, was too lazy to argue with him anymore. She stood up and walked towards the garden, muttering softly:
"You're still so serious at your age..."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Shen quickly put down his teacup and chased after him:
"Look at you, you're still the same as when you were young. You get upset when I say something to you."
"Who's unhappy? I'm going to water the flowers."
Mrs. Shen didn't even turn her head, but her pace slowed down significantly. Mr. Shen quickly followed and took the kettle from her hand:
"Let me help you. The sun is so strong, please wear a hat before you go out..."
The old couple walked into the garden one after the other. The sunlight shone on them through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Old Mrs. Shen was still complaining, but the corners of her eyes curved up quietly.
While listening to his wife's nagging, Mr. Shen skillfully tended to the flowers and plants, and occasionally agreed with a few words.
In the garden, one could only hear the gurgling sound of water and the low conversation of two old people, which was warm and peaceful.

After Mu Nanyan and Chenchen finished breakfast, Mu Nanyan gently rubbed Chenchen's hair:
"Mommy's going to put on makeup and change clothes. Can you play by yourself for a while?"
Chenchen raised his little face and said seriously:
"Sister Yan, you look great even without makeup! And godfather has seen you without makeup before, so he won't dislike you."
"It's basic courtesy. Besides, I see you're just eager to get out, right?"
Having his little trick exposed, Chenchen stuck out his tongue:
"Hey, you discovered this."
Mu Nanyan squatted down, looked into Chenchen's eyes and explained patiently:
"Even if you don't wear makeup, Mom still has to change her clothes. I can't go out in my pajamas. Besides, if we go too early, we won't be able to see Godfather. His plane doesn't land until three o'clock. By the time Mom is done getting ready, we'll be out in time."
Chenchen nodded obediently: "Okay then, Sister Yan, you go put on your makeup, I'm going to read for a while."
"Well, Chenchen is so good." Mu Nanyan kissed his little face.
Back in the bedroom, Mu Nanyan carefully selected a light blue dress and put on some light makeup.
Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly remembered that it was Su Muyang who sent her back last night and her car was still parked at Yunding Tianque.
"Chenchen, let's..." Before she could finish her words, the little guy broke free from her hand and ran to the living room.
"Chenchen, where are you going?"
After a while, Chenchen came back skipping and jumping with the car keys in hand:
"Sister Yan, you forgot to take your car keys!"
Mu Nanyan took the key in surprise:
"Why are my car keys with you?"
"An uncle brought the car back this morning and I took the key!" Chenchen puffed out his chest proudly.
"Who sent it?"
Chenchen shook his head: "I don't know him, it's an uncle I've never met."
Mu Nanyan nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions. She carefully helped Chenchen fasten the child seat belt, and after confirming that it was correct, she started the car and drove towards Haicheng International Airport.
