Chapter 191 We Are All Waiting for You
Mu Nanyan was familiar with this community because she had been there yesterday. She drove the moving company's car directly into the underground parking garage without going through the main gate.
After arriving at the underground parking garage, Mu Nanyan parked the car and took the elevator upstairs with the organizer. The people from the moving company moved all their things upstairs.
Chenchen and Mu Nanyan had only lived in the military compound for a short time, so they didn't have a lot of stuff and there were no large electrical appliances to move. But in just two hours, everything was put away.
“This house seems to be tailor-made for me.”
Mu Nanyan looked around, her fingertips brushing across the walnut partition in the living room.
From the Morandi-colored walls to the built-in appliances in the kitchen, every detail precisely captures her aesthetic.
She suddenly became curious about this owner whom she had never met before and decided to get to know this owner who shared similar tastes if she had the chance.
After sending the organizer away, Mu Nanyan was thinking about what soft furnishings to buy when her cell phone suddenly rang.
The words "Chenchen" on the screen softened her expression instantly, and she answered the call directly:
"Hey, Chenchen."
"Sister Yan, have you finished moving? What's the matter? Why are you coming to pick me up?"
"I just finished moving and was about to pick you up."
"Then come to Godfather's place quickly. Godfather has made a lot of delicious food. We are all waiting for you."
After hearing what Chenchen said, Mu Nanyan really felt a little hungry. When she was busy before, she often went to Cui Hao's house for meals. Mu Nanyan was not embarrassed and agreed with a smile:
"Okay, I'll be right up."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Nanyan changed her shoes and went out directly. She saw that the elevator stopped on the first floor, so she simply took the stairs to the 25th floor.

“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
"Chenchen, go open the door quickly, it should be your mommy."
Cui Hao shouted to the living room while cooking. Chenchen, who was sitting on the carpet concentrating on building Lego, looked up and stood up while muttering:
"I just finished the call and Sister Yan is here? This is too fast."
He trotted to the door, stood on tiptoe and turned the doorknob. As soon as the door opened, he saw Mu Nanyan standing outside. Chenchen's eyes lit up: "Sister Yan!"
He stepped aside to make way, then took out a pair of pink slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them neatly at the entrance.
When Mu Nanyan bent down to change her shoes, she noticed Chenchen's expectant eyes and couldn't help but rub his little head:
"Thank you, babe."
Chenchen couldn't wait to pull her hand towards the living room.
"Sister Yan, look, my godfather bought me some new Lego."
Mu Nanyan followed him to the carpet and looked at the model that had taken shape, deliberately frowning:
"Did you pester your godfather to buy it for you again?"
As she spoke, she gently scratched Chenchen's nose.
Before Chenchen could speak, Cui Hao came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and said:
"No, I took the initiative to buy it for him."
Cui Hao had said so, Mu Nanyan didn't know what to say, she looked at him with a smile and said:
"Do you need my help?"
Mu Nanyan said as she walked towards the kitchen, but Cui Hao stopped her directly:
"No need, the food will be ready soon. Take Chenchen to wash his hands and prepare to eat."
"Okay."
Cui Hao went into the kitchen to continue cooking. Mu Nanyan, who was kicked out of the kitchen, shrugged helplessly and walked to Chenchen and squatted down:
"Chenchen, play after dinner. I'll take you to wash your hands and eat."
"Okay, Mommy."
After Chenchen finished putting together the last piece of Lego, he stood up, put on his shoes, and went to the bathroom with Mu Nanyan to wash his hands.
When the two of them came out after washing their hands, Cui Hao had already brought the last dish to the table.
"Just right, come and have dinner."
Chenchen cheered and ran to the seat next to Cui Hao, his eyes shining as he stared at the bright red plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in the middle:
"Godfather, have you been practicing secretly behind my back? It looks even better than what you made before."
"What are you talking about? Was what I cooked before not delicious?" Cui Hao looked at him with a deliberately stern face.
"No, I mean it tastes better than the previous one. The previous one was also delicious." Chenchen waved his hands hurriedly and explained anxiously.
Cui Hao was amused by his behavior and said with a smile:
"I don't know who you learned this from, but you're so sweet-mouthed. Eat more of the delicious food. You're in the growth phase right now."
"I know, I've been eating well recently."
Mu Nanyan sat opposite the two of them and watched them bickering. She was already used to such scenes and sat down to eat with a calm expression.
The three of them sat around the dining table, the aroma of food filling the air.
While enjoying the delicious food, they chatted casually, with the topics rambling freely.
Chenchen is like a mood-enhancing group. No one will feel bored when he is around. He can always make Mu Nanyan and Cui Hao laugh.

At this time, Lu Yiran was still waiting downstairs. He leaned against the Maybach, the cigarette flickering between his fingertips.
The street lights cast shadows of varying shades on his well-defined profile, and the cigarette butts scattered at his feet silently told the story of a long wait.
Cars were coming and going at the entrance of the community. Every time a beam of headlight came on, his heart skipped a beat, but it returned to silence after he saw the license plate clearly.
Three hours later, the cigarette box on the passenger seat was already empty. The last cigarette turned back and forth between his fingers, but he still couldn't light it.
Lu Yiran couldn't describe his mood at the moment. He suddenly remembered that when he first got married to Mu Nanyan, he also had this kind of time when he couldn't wait for someone. He was very angry at that time, but today, his mood was very complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
I am happy because it is so late and Mu Nanyan hasn't come yet. Does it mean that Mu Nanyan will not come and they have no relationship. I just asked a friend to take care of Chenchen?
She was angry because he was Chenchen's biological father. Why couldn't she ask him to pick up the child when she needed help? Why bother an outsider? Was he worse than an outsider?
Suddenly, the phone vibrated in my pocket and An Jiajun's name popped up on the screen.
[The old place, do you want to come? ]
He stared at the message for a few seconds, then slowly typed out two words and sent it: [Not going.]
Lu Yiran stayed downstairs for another hour. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock and Mu Nanyan still hadn't shown up, Lu Yiran was ready to leave.
“Gugu——”
Lu Yiran looked at his stomach and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how many times his stomach had rumbled.
He drank with An Jiajun and others in the morning, and basically didn't eat anything at noon, and has been holding on until now.
He started the car and prepared to leave. Just as he turned the steering wheel to turn around and leave, he was stunned.
