Chapter 221 Regarding Chenchen, I Keep My Word
Mu Nanyan was stunned when she heard this. She thought Lu Yiran was just joking, but she didn't expect him to finish it so quickly and deliver it to her personally.
She looked at Lu Yiran and asked tentatively, "Are you really... willing to give up the custody of Chenchen?"
Lu Yiran looked directly at her with deep eyes:
"It's not that I don't want it, it's because I want this to reassure you. I don't want you to be defensive every time you see me. No matter what, Chenchen is my child, and everything I have will belong to him in the future."
Lu Yiran was very serious when he said this. Mu Nanyan's heart trembled slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't expect that Lu Yiran was willing to sign this agreement for her.
The two walked into Mu Nanyan's office together. Lu Yiran placed the document directly on Mu Nanyan's desk and then said:
"If you're worried, you can open it and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanyan directly opened the agreement and began to read it carefully.
Lu Yiran: ...
He rubbed his brows, suddenly feeling a little frustrated.
In her heart, is he so untrustworthy?
He quickly reviewed the situation in his mind, wondering if he had done anything evil to make her so wary.
In my memory, their cohabitation period was harmonious, except for that one night when things got out of control...
Lu Yiran sat down on the sofa, his eyes following her involuntarily.
This was the first time he had the opportunity to observe her so closely since she returned home.
Time seems to be particularly kind to this woman, adding a bit of maturity to her eyes, but making her look more elegant overall.
But she seemed thinner, her slender wrists almost transparent under the light...
After Mu Nanyan finished reading the document and confirmed that there were no problems, she raised her head and met Lu Yiran's scorching gaze. She quickly dodged it, then frowned at Lu Yiran and said:
"Have you seen enough?"
Mu Nanyan's cold voice interrupted his thoughts. She closed the document and when she looked up, she met his focused gaze and immediately turned away uncomfortably.
Lu Yiran chuckled: "Not enough, you look good."
Mu Nanyan: ...
Mu Nanyan rarely felt speechless when being confronted by others. If Lu Yiran quarreled with her, she could say a lot, but when he acted like this, Mu Nanyan really didn't know how to deal with it.
Lu Yiran looked at the tips of her ears which were slightly red, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
He restrained his teasing thoughts at the right time, looked at his watch, and said in a gentle but unyielding voice:
"Want to have lunch with me?"
Mu Nanyan frowned subconsciously when she heard this:
"Mr. Lu, I don't think we are in a relationship where we can have dinner together now, right? And I've already eaten."
She lied calmly, but saw Lu Yiran raised his eyebrows:
"What kind of relationship would allow me to have dinner with you?"
Just as Mu Nanyan was thinking about how to respond, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"Nan Yan, your lunch is here! I even made a special detour to buy your favorite taro bubble milk tea."
Zhou Ruxuan was talking to herself when she came to Mu Nanyan's desk, but she found that Mu Nanyan did not take it with a smile as usual.
Zhou Ruxuan sensed something was wrong with Mu Nanyue and looked in the direction she was looking. When she turned around, she saw a man sitting on the sofa. She was startled. Oh my God, when did a man appear in this office?
Moreover, the aura of that man was a bit scary. Seeing him staring at her, Zhou Ruxuan subconsciously took two steps back. Then she looked back and forth at Mu Nanyan and Lu Yiran, and said awkwardly:
"Um... am I disturbing you? I'll be out right now."
Without waiting for an answer, she quickly placed the lunch bag on Mu Nanyan's desk and rushed out like a frightened rabbit, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.
Mu Nanyan really wanted to call her, not for anything else, but because she wanted her to take the food she brought with her. She saw the food right after she said she had eaten. Isn't this slapping herself in the face?
Lu Yiran stood up slowly and walked to the desk. His slender fingers gently picked up the paper bag printed with the restaurant logo and looked at her with a half-smile.
"Is this what you mean by having eaten?"
Mu Nanyan's fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the document.
She was really embarrassed now, and wanted to find a hole to crawl into...
However, Mu Nanyan has been in the business world for many years and has long developed the ability to keep her emotions under wraps. In Lu Yiran's opinion, Mu Nanyan was very calm, as if she was not affected at all by what he had just said.
In fact, Mu Nanyan is the type who becomes calmer the more embarrassed she is. The calmer she appears now, the more panicked she is inside.
One second, two seconds... The air was silent for more than ten seconds before Mu Nanyan regained her voice. She looked at Lu Yiran and said:
"Mr. Lu has seen it too. My lunch has already arrived. I really can't go out to eat with you."
Lu Yiran was speechless for a moment. The last second he was happy that Mu Nanyan hadn't eaten, so he wondered if they could go out to eat together. Who knew that the next second Mu Nanyan would take her out of the game.
He deliberately softened his tone, with a hint of grievance:
"I didn't even have time for lunch to deliver this document. Considering your sincerity, can't you make an exception?"
Mu Nanyan raised her eyes, a sly glint flashed in her eyes:
"If Mr. Lu finds it troublesome, he can just send it by express delivery. Why bother making this trip in person?"
Mu Nanyan said as she gently put the documents into the drawer.
She accepted the document, but she didn't appreciate the favor at all. She just dumped it after using it...
Lu Yiran stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled. He slowly adjusted his suit cuffs, his tone somewhat helpless:
"It seems I was being too sentimental."
He walked to the office door, his slender fingers resting on the door handle, and turned back with a deep look in his eyes:
“Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the agreement.”
After a pause, Lu Yiran added:
"Regarding Chenchen, I will keep my word."
Mu Nanyan's fingers subconsciously tightened slightly, but her face remained expressionless:
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your understanding."
The door was closed gently, and the office finally returned to silence. Mu Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders finally relaxed.
She looked at the steaming lunch on her desk and suddenly lost her appetite.
Zhou Ruxuan pushed the door open and came in, looking curious:
"Nan Yan, is that man Chenchen's biological father? They look alike..."
Over the years, Mu Nanyan had never mentioned anything about Chenchen's father to Zhou Ruxuan. If they hadn't met suddenly, she might never have said it, but now...
She just nodded slightly and didn't say a word.
Zhou Ruxuan knew she didn't want to talk more, so she simply stopped asking and just advised, "Hurry up and eat your lunch, or it'll get cold."
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry."
Mu Nanyan forced a smile at Zhou Ruxuan.
