Chapter 249 Sorry Mr. Lu, it’s not convenient
Li Muqi was startled when he heard this, and followed his daughter's gaze, meeting Lu Yiran's deep gaze.
Li Muqi's expression was solemn when she heard the first half of the sentence. She didn't expect to meet Lu Yiran here, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, she held it back. How could Xiao Nuan think that Lu Yiran was a human trafficker?
She subconsciously stroked her daughter's soft hair, and a gentle arc appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously:
"Xiao Nuan, don't talk nonsense, that uncle is indeed Chenchen's father"
"Really?"
Su Xiaonuan blinked her big eyes, and her pink little face was full of suspicion.
"real."
Li Muqi chuckled and pinched her daughter's cheek, then walked towards Lu Yiran gracefully.
She was wearing a simple beige windbreaker today. The hem of her coat fluttered in the wind as she walked, outlining her intellectual silhouette in the sunlight.
"Mr. Lu, I've heard a lot about you."
She stretched out her hand gracefully, her fingertips shining brightly in the sunlight.
Lu Yiran frowned slightly, his eyes lingering on her delicate face for a moment:
"Have we met before?"
Lu Yiran really had no impression of the woman in front of him, and Li Muqi did not feel embarrassed. She introduced herself:
"I'm Su Sinian's wife. We met at a cocktail party before."
Hearing this, Lu Yiran knew who she was. He knew the Haicheng Su family. After all, they were all from the upper class circle. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they had heard of each other.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Su."
Lu Yiran suddenly realized, but her eyes unconsciously drifted to the little girl behind her who was looking at her with her head tilted. It turned out that she was really the daughter of the Su family and had a relationship with Su Muyang. Then, did Mu Nanyan's liking for this little girl have anything to do with Su Muyang?
After Su Xiaonuan saw the adults finished speaking, she bravely stepped forward, her small hands tugging at the hem of her skirt and said shyly:
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now..."
Even though he knew that this little girl had a relationship with Su Muyang, Lu Yiran found that he could not feel the slightest bit of disgust towards her.
He rarely softened his expression, reached out and gently rubbed her hair, and whispered:
"It doesn't matter."
Li Muqi looked at Lu Yiran with a hint of apology:
"Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry that Xiao Nuan has caused you trouble."
"It's okay, the little girl is very cute." Lu Yiran said lightly.
Li Muqi didn't want to have too much interaction with Lu Yiran. The relationship between the Su family and the Lu family was already delicate, and coupled with Su Muyang's matter, it was not easy to exchange a few polite words.
However, the Lu Yiran in front of him seemed to be different from the cold and aloof Dingsheng leader in the rumors. At least... he was quite gentle towards children.
She smiled slightly, lowered her head and said to Su Xiaonuan:
"Xiao Nuan, say goodbye to your uncle. It's time for us to go home."
Su Xiaonuan nodded, and then said to Lu Yiran in a sweet voice:
"Goodbye, uncle."
Su Xiaonuan waved sweetly, her round eyes curved into crescents.
Lu Yiran nodded lightly and watched the mother and daughter leave. Only when he saw them get into the car did he look away and get in.
Lu Yiran then remembered why he came here today. He didn't expect Mu Nanyan to take Chenchen away in advance. He frowned, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it. Maybe she just happened to be free today.
He drove directly back to Yuehu Yundi. The elevator stopped on the 23rd floor. He walked straight to 2301 and pressed the doorbell with his slender fingers.
"Ding Dong~Ding Dong~Ding Dong~"
The doorbell rang particularly clearly in the silent corridor. However, after waiting for five minutes, there was still no movement in the house. Lu Yiran then realized that something was wrong.
Did Mu Nanyan take Chenchen out? Did she go out to eat with Cui Hao again? And she didn't bring him this time?
Lu Yiran's eyes darkened slightly, and he took out his cell phone and called Mu Nanyan.
Soon Mu Nanyan's voice came from the phone:
"Mr. Lu, is there something wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, Mu Nanyan's voice was a little confused. She didn't know why Lu Yiran called her.
"Where did you and Chenchen go?" His voice was low and hinted at displeasure.
Hearing this, Mu Nanyan remembered that Lu Yiran had been picking up Chenchen recently, and she had forgotten to tell him. She quickly said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I forgot to tell you that I took Chenchen to his great-grandfather's house."
Great-grandfather? Isn't that Mu Nanyan's grandfather? How come he has never heard Mu Nanyan mention that she has grandparents?
"Take me with you, I haven't visited the old man yet." He said in an unquestionable tone.
Mu Nanyan:???
Her fingers gripping the phone tightened slightly, and she almost thought she had misheard. Was he... asking to go home with her?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, we are already on our way back and will be there soon." Mu Nanyan declined politely.
"It's okay, I'll drive there myself."
Mu Nanyan's mouth twitched. Wasn't her meaning obvious enough? When did Lu Yiran start to not understand what people were saying?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it's not very convenient."
She hung up the phone decisively, not giving him a chance to continue pestering her.
“Beep—beep—”
The busy tone of the phone being hung up echoed in his ears. Lu Yiran stared at the black screen, his eyes darkening.
He slowly clenched his phone, feeling like there was a lump of anger in his chest with nowhere to vent.
————
Chenchen saw Mu Nanyan hang up the phone, tilted his head and asked curiously:
"Sister Yan, whose phone is this?"
Mu Nanyan's fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly as she carefully considered her answer:
"It's you...Uncle Lu. He went to pick you up from school, but didn't see you, so he called to ask."
She quietly observed Chenchen's reaction through the rearview mirror and asked tentatively:
"Chenchen, are you willing to recognize him?"
The car suddenly became quiet, with only the faint sound of the car moving.
Chenchen lowered his head, his little hands unconsciously grabbing the seat belt, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his face.
Mu Nanyan looked at Chenchen's tangled expression and quickly explained softly:
"Mommy isn't forcing you to make a choice, I just don't know how to address him in front of you. If you want to acknowledge him, I'll call him dad from now on. If not, we can just call him uncle, okay?"
Chenchen then raised his head, his eyes sparkling:
"Just call me uncle. I don't want to recognize him yet."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Mu Nanyan smiled gently and then concentrated on driving.
The car slowly drove into the heavily guarded military compound and finally stopped in front of a small stand-alone building covered with ivy.
In the twilight, two white-haired old men were already standing at the door, looking forward to it.
Mu Nanyan quickly got out of the car and trotted over:
"Grandma, Grandpa, why did you come out? It's windy at night, you can just wait inside."
She carefully supported Mrs. Shen.
