Chapter 193: The one who is close to the water gets the moon first
Lu Yiran's Adam's apple rolled, but no sound came out.
Mu Nanyan's words were like a mirror, reflecting his worst thoughts - yes, if he had known she was pregnant five years ago, he would have asked for a termination of pregnancy without hesitation.
Lu Yiran had never thought that he would have a child one day, nor had he ever thought about having a child. Chenchen's existence was purely accidental.
Only he himself knows what kind of life he has lived since childhood. How can a child born to two people who don't love each other be happy? He doesn't want his child to experience such a life again.
It was precisely because of this that he wanted to make amends. He didn't want Chenchen to live a childhood without fatherly love. He wanted to make up for his regrets on Chenchen, but now Chenchen hated him and called someone else daddy.
Lu Yiran just looked at Mu Nanyan like this, and finally squeezed out three words: "I'm sorry..."
Mu Nanyan's clenched hands suddenly loosened, and the anger that had just risen in her disappeared instantly because of the word "I'm sorry". She was too impulsive just now, which is why she said that.
Now that she calmed down and thought about it, in fact, she and Lu Yiran didn't owe each other anything. Just like he said, she didn't tell him at the beginning, and he didn't know about Chenchen's existence, so he didn't have the chance to take care of him.
Considering from Lu Yiran's perspective, he should also feel very uncomfortable. After all, who would like to see his own son calling someone else "dad" in front of him?
If Lu Yiran snatched Chenchen away and found another woman to be Chenchen's mother, she would probably go crazy...
Mu Nanyan softened her tone and said to Lu Yiran:
"Lu Yiran, you shouldn't have done that. Cui Hao has helped me a lot over the years. If it weren't for him, Chenchen wouldn't have grown up so cheerful. Before you showed up, he was the one who grew up with Chenchen..."
"Are you together?" Lu Yiran's voice was a little tense.
"No, he is Chenchen's godfather."
These words were like a beam of light that suddenly shone into Lu Yiran's dark heart. His eyes lit up instantly, and even his back straightened unconsciously.
Since he was just a godfather, did that mean Mu Nanyan didn't like him? It was only because of Chenchen that...
"Then why are you two together today..."
He asked cautiously, fearing to hear an answer he didn't want to hear.
"I just moved into this neighborhood today and asked Cui Hao to help pick up Chenchen."
Lu Yiran's eyes lit up even more, and he took a step forward eagerly:
"If you need to pick up Chenchen in the future, you can always find me, I——"
"You can't stay in Haicheng forever, and shouldn't you be busier than me?"
"As long as you call me, I will definitely have time."
Hearing this, Mu Nanyan was a little moved, but still said:
"You've seen it too. Chenchen doesn't like you. He wouldn't want you to pick him up."
"I will make him accept me." Lu Yiran's voice suddenly became firm.
"That's between you two. It has nothing to do with me. I said, as long as Chenchen is willing, I have no objection."
"That's what you said."
Lu Yiran suddenly remembered that Shi Mubai had told him to start with the child, and now it seemed that it was indeed feasible.
"It's getting late. I'm going back first."
Mu Nanyan didn't want to pay attention to him and turned around and went back to the apartment. Lu Yiran was standing there. After seeing Mu Nanyan go in, he turned around and prepared to leave.
As soon as he got into the car, he called An Jiajun.
The deafening music on the other end of the phone gradually faded away, replaced by An Jiajun's joking voice:
"What? Changed your mind and want to come over to play?"
Lu Yiran ignored him and said directly:
"Yuehu Yundi is your family's project, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Help me find out which building Mu Nanyan lives in."
"Oh, it seems like the one who is close to the water gets the moon first."
"Stop talking nonsense. Will you help me? If you don't help me, I'll check it myself."
"Okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow."
"Then you play, hang up."
Lu Yiran hung up the phone right after he finished speaking, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Mu Nanyan took the elevator directly to the 25th floor. When she pushed open the half-open door, the warm yellow light from the living room poured out like water.
Mu Nanyan bent down to change her shoes. Chenchen heard the noise at the door and ran over. He grabbed her skirt and looked her up and down.
"Sister Yan, are you okay? Did any weird uncle bully you?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Mu Nanyan pinched her son's bulging cheeks and led him to the sofa.
Cui Hao was applying medicine to herself. The medicine box was open on the coffee table. The blood stains on the cotton swab made her heart tighten.
She looked at Cui Hao with a worried look on her face and said:
"Is your face okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's okay, just a little scrape. Did he give you any trouble?"
"He didn't make things difficult for me, but he caused you to get punched for nothing."
"It's not your fault, you don't have to apologize to me."
As Cui Hao spoke, he packed up the medicine box. When he closed the medicine box, the metal buckle made a crisp "click" sound.
Mu Nanyan smiled and didn't respond. Then she picked up Chenchen's schoolbag and looked at Cui Hao and said:
"Chenchen should go to bed. I'm taking him back. He has to go to school tomorrow."
"Let me take you there."
Cui Hao was about to stand up, but Mu Nanyan refused directly:
"No, we live downstairs from you, just a few steps away."
When Cui Hao heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"Which floor do you live on?"
"23rd floor."
"That's great. It will be convenient for Chenchen to come over and play later."
"Uh-huh."
Mu Nanyan chatted with Cui Hao for a few words, then left with Chenchen.
The two of them took the elevator directly to the 23rd floor. As the elevator went down, Chenchen lay on Mu Nanyan's shoulder and fell asleep. It was not until the prompt sound of the password lock rang that Chenchen suddenly became alert.
Chenchen was particularly excited to see the new house. He walked around every room, then came out of the room and said to Mu Nanyan:
"Sister Yan, this house looks like the one we have abroad."
"Yes, I bought this house because I liked the decoration. After that, we will have our own home in Haicheng."
Chenchen said excitedly, "Great! Then I can make my room the way I like it."
"sure."
"Then I'm going to put out all the models my cousin gave me, as well as the Lego models I built earlier."
Chenchen was already imagining decorating his room like this. Seeing Chenchen so excited, Mu Nanyan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so she quickly said:
"Okay, it's getting late. Go wash up and go to bed. You have classes tomorrow."
"All right."
Chenchen obediently went back to his room to wash up, and Mu Nanyan also returned to her master bedroom.
