The dates were big and sweet. Yi Mu picked a bagful and stood on the tree, wondering how to get down.
As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard, and these jujube trees are prickly.
Just as he was getting annoyed, the window of the villa opened, and Yan Shengchao stood by the window, looking helpless: "Mumu, you're being naughty again."
Yi Mu's eyes lit up, and he looked up at him, saying, "Come down quickly, let me catch you, I can't get down."
A powerful figure who wielded immense influence in both the demon-slaying world and the business world, upon being given a command, came downstairs wearing only his shoes.
As soon as Yan Feng, the head of the Xuanmen family, got out of the car and entered the courtyard, he saw a person jump down from a tree. His son was below and caught the person steadily.
Yan Shengchao steadied himself, carrying Yi Mu. The beauty had thrown herself into his arms early that morning. He held her tighter, his eyes darkening, and demanded payment: "I helped you, shouldn't you thank me?"
Yi Mu pretended to be stupid, took out two dates from his pocket, and stuffed them into Yan Shengchao's mouth: "Eat these, they're very sweet."
Yan Shengchao chewed on a date, but his eyes were fixed on him.
"Not as sweet as you."
Yi Mu's ears turned red. Yan Shengchao's serious expression when he was saying sweet nothings was the most irresistible thing.
As soon as Yan Feng entered the door, he was bombarded with displays of affection.
He spent most of his time in the Xuanmen sect, rarely venturing out once his two sons were able to stand on their own.
He wondered if he was being too old-fashioned, unable to understand what young people who were being all lovey-dovey so early in the morning were thinking.
Just as the two were about to kiss in broad daylight, Yan Feng coughed heavily.
The two turned their heads. Yi Mu was still fine, but Yan Shengchao was the first to become serious. He put Yi Mu down and walked quickly towards Yan Feng.
"Father, why didn't you let me know you were coming?"
Yan Feng snorted coldly: "If I had notified you in advance, how could you have witnessed such a spectacular scene? He's that vixen?"
Yan Shengchao pursed his lips, remained silent, and simply told Yan Feng to go inside first.
Yi Mu, standing behind, curiously observed the middle-aged man.
Is this the head of the Xuanmen family? A handsome middle-aged man, apart from being a bit cold, doesn't seem as scary as the legends say.
As they entered, Yan Shengzhou came downstairs.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for six months. When they met face to face, neither of them had a smile on their face.
Yan Shengzhou was angry that the people Yan Feng sent almost wiped out the fox clan, and Yan Feng was angry that he had disobeyed his family's wishes and married a girl from the Leng family.
Yan Shengchao sensed something was amiss and summoned the butler to arrange a room for Yan Feng.
During breakfast, Yi Mu sat next to Yan Shengzhou. Knowing that this person was the master of the Xuanmen sect, he did not dare to be as presumptuous as usual.
Yan Shengzhou didn't care. Knowing what Yi Mu liked to eat, he pushed all the delicious food in front of him, his doting affection was completely open.
Yan Feng remained silent with a cold expression.
Yan Shengchao sipped his coffee and asked his father how long he planned to stay this time.
Yan Feng glanced at him. "What, you want to kick me out as soon as I arrive?"
Yan Shengchao gave a wry smile: "Father, you know that's not what I meant?"
The reason for asking this question is simply to find out what his purpose was in coming here.
Yan Feng's sharp gaze fell on Yi Mu, who was eating in silence. He didn't give his two sons any face and bluntly stated: "The Xuanmen does not accept a fox demon as the partner of its future heir."
Yan Shengzhou interjected, with a hint of schadenfreude in his voice: "Brother, you can't. I have no restrictions. I'll take good care of Mu Mu."
Yan Feng looked at him coldly: "Shengchao is in charge of internal affairs, while you are in charge of external affairs. In a couple of days, you will come with me to the Leng family and personally apologize to Old Madam Leng."
Yan Shengzhou refused without even thinking: "Impossible. I don't want anyone but Yi Mu."
His opinion didn't matter. Yan Feng was used to being a dictator, so he ignored Yan Shengzhou's unpleasant expression and buried his head in his food.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't pay any attention to Yi Mu, as if he were just an insignificant, invisible person.
