Shen Muzhi hesitated for a moment, then picked up his clothes, loosened his tie, put the sweatshirt over his shirt, changed his pants, and found a more casual coat.
Although he himself wasn't used to this style of dress, he probably felt much more approachable than before.
After changing my clothes, I saw that it was almost time to go out.
He specifically drove a seven-seater BMW because he wanted to take the children out to play after dinner.
Moreover, today was a time for his family to get together, so he didn't let Ah Chao drive; he drove there himself.
Perhaps it was because I was in a good mood, but the weather was also particularly nice today. Although the temperature was low, the sunshine felt very comfortable.
Shen Muzhi arrived at the restaurant before 11:00, even though they had agreed to meet at 11:30.
He found a seat and carefully studied the menu.
This "Happy Restaurant" is actually a children's restaurant. The food is designed for children, is nutritious and cute, and there is also a children's play area inside.
After 11 o'clock, young parents began to arrive with their children one after another, and Shen Muzhi paid special attention to what most of the children liked to eat.
By 11:30, they still hadn't arrived, so Shen Muzhi continued to wait patiently.
About ten minutes later, he saw Xiang Zhilan bringing the children over through the glass. However, when he was about to greet them, he saw that the man had also come over.
I don't know what they were talking about outside, but I saw Xiao Kui kiss the man's cheek and then reluctantly part.
Xiang Zhilan smiled at him and watched him get into the car and leave.
Shen Muzhi withdrew his gaze, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
After a while, Xiang Zhilan came over with two children.
"Sorry, there was some traffic on the way," Xiang Zhilan explained to Shen Muzhi.
"It's okay, I didn't wait long." Shen Muzhi put away her unhappy mood and smiled at the two little ones.
"Daddy!" Hengheng hugged Shen Muzhi's leg and called out happily.
Upon hearing his son's clear voice, Shen Muzhi picked him up, sat him on his lap, and cuddled him for a while before placing him in a high chair and looking at Xiao Kui.
"Uncle," Xiao Kui called softly, not really liking this uncle, and hugged Xiang Zhilan tightly.
Xiang Zhilan corrected her, saying, "He is a father, not an uncle."
Xiao Kui blinked and looked timidly at Shen Muzhi, feeling that this uncle's smile was not as kind and gentle as Luo Che's. She turned her head away, ignoring Xiang Zhilan's correction.
Shen Muzhi was somewhat hurt when he saw that his daughter was not very willing to talk to him. However, he knew that these things could not be rushed. She was still so young, and it was normal for her to have difficulty understanding at first. As they spent more time together, she would accept him as her father.
"What would you like to eat?" Shen Muzhi opened the menu, and everyone looked at the pictures together.
Xiang Zhilan held Xiao Kui and flipped through the room together. Hengheng saw Xiao Kui sitting in his mother's arms and asked Shen Muzhi to hold him and sit in his arms to eat.
Unable to obtain what she longed for, she took her son back into her arms.
Ordering was quick, and while waiting for the food to arrive, Hengheng kept talking, which made things less awkward.
Xiang Zhilan had felt that Shen Muzhi seemed particularly different today since the beginning, and when she looked closely now, she was truly stunned.
No wonder she felt something was different; he was wearing a Mickey Mouse hoodie.
Isn't this childish style something teenagers and young adults in their twenties would wear?
Shen Muzhi noticed that she was looking at the pattern on her sweatshirt, and her cheeks flushed slightly, which was rare for her. She coughed lightly and explained, "It's a matching set that Bai Yutong bought for the whole family. You and the kids have some too."
