Chapter 58 He said: Mu Yunzhou, I'm willing.
Several hours had passed since Chao Xian received the news on his phone, and at first glance, he didn't pay much attention to it.
The next second, Chao Xian remembered what Fan Yu had said before and hurriedly called Mu Yunzhou, but the phone was switched off and he couldn't get through.
Chao Xian called Mu Qianyu directly.
The call connected, but the person on the other end remained silent.
Chao Xian felt his voice was hoarse, and then he spoke softly, "There was a riot at the airport last night, Brother Mu wasn't there, right?"
Mu Qianyu didn't say anything, she just told Chao Xian not to worry.
The phone in Chao Xian's hand fell to the ground.
As soon as Mu Ziyan opened the door, she saw Chao Xian standing by the window, looking as if he was about to collapse.
"Boo-hoo!" Mu Ziyan looked worried and quickly led Chao Xian away from the window to sit on the sofa.
Chao Xian glanced at Mu Ziyan, about to ask something, but then hesitated, afraid that Mu Ziyan wouldn't know the news and that if he said it out loud, Mu Ziyan would get anxious and worried.
"Is Babo in a bad mood? Or did something happen?" Mu Ziyan asked softly. Looking at the worry in Babo's eyes, Mu Ziyan subconsciously thought that something had happened to her father.
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian shook his head slightly without saying anything: "No, I just saw a really scary video and I'm a little frightened."
Mu Ziyan quickly poured Chao Xian a glass of water to help him recover. Chao Xian forced a smile and took a sip.
"It's okay, I ordered milk tea for Babo. I'll take Babo out for hot pot later. Don't be scared, Babo, it's all fake!"
Mu Ziyan offered a soft word of comfort, then suddenly remembered something and whispered:
"Fan Yu's younger sister came to the Mu family and said she wanted to see Ba Bo. Grandma asked me to come and ask her. If Ba Bo doesn't want to see her, Grandma will make her leave."
Mu's mother meant that she didn't want to see any of the Fan family members.
Fan Yun mentioned that Chao Xian had saved her before, which is why she asked Mu Ziyan to ask Chao Xian.
Fan Yu's sister?
Fan Yun?
Chao Xian remembered that he had saved Fan Yun at the hotel during Jian Huai and Fan Yun's wedding.
Chao Xian originally wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that Fan Yu had already been taken in for investigation, and Fan Yun was probably coming to see her because of her brother.
What Fan Yu said earlier has been weighing on Chao Xian's mind, so what does the airport riot have to do with Fan Yu?
Chao Xian is unclear.
But Chao Xian felt that Fan Yun must have known about this visit to the Mu family at this time.
"Have someone take her to the stage." After saying this, Chao Xian opened the wardrobe, took out a gray coat, and was about to leave.
Mu Ziyan quickly said, "A scarf!"
Mu Ziyan found a scarf in the wardrobe and handed it to Chao Xian.
Chao Xian took the scarf and nodded.
"Dad told me to take good care of you. When it gets cold, remember to wear a scarf before you go out. Buy hot milk tea and the latest new products."
Mu Ziyan spoke softly.
His eyes were full of smiles.
I'm very satisfied with Dad's care for Babo.
Even after leaving the country, her father would ask Mu Ziyan every day what Babo had done that day.
Moreover, Dad also prepared a surprise for Babo.
Mu Ziyan was extremely satisfied with what he had thought of.
Chao Xian's heart skipped a beat when he heard Mu Ziyan's words.
I never expected that Mu Yunzhou would remind Mu Ziyan of such trivial matters.
When Chao Xian arrived near the stage, he already saw Fan Yun there.
There was another man with Fan Yun. According to Mu Ziyan, that should be Fan Yun's current husband.
Mu Ziyan followed behind Chao Xian.
Fan Yun and the man were talking when they saw Chao Xian arrive, so they both shut up.
His gaze fell on Chao Xian.
Chao Xian nodded in acknowledgment.
Fan Yun whispered to the man beside her to wait outside, but the man didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Mu Ziyan glanced at Chao Xian, making sure Chao Xian could manage on his own, before following the man to the side.
She stared at the man.
"Mr. Chao, I am truly sorry about what happened to my brother. I never imagined things would come to this."
Even though the person in front of her had once saved her, Fan Yun couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought about what the person was about to say.
Chao Xian hummed in response, very casually, as if he didn't care at all, which made Fan Yun even more uneasy.
"You must have come to me about more than just this, right? Did Fan Yu ask you to pass on a message to me?"
Chao Xian immediately guessed it was Fan Yu.
Fan Yun tugged at her clothes, looking somewhat nervous. She had feelings for Chao Xian, at least because Chao Xian had once saved her from Jian Huai's clutches.
But Fan Yu was, after all, her own brother.
She couldn't refuse Fan Yu's request.
"My brother asked me to tell Mr. Chao that if he wants Mu Yunzhou to live, he should rescue him, otherwise Mu Yunzhou will die at the airport."
As Fan Yun said this, she looked at Chao Xian with a pale face.
His eyes were full of apology.
Chao Xian took a deep breath, his gaze cold: "Save him? I'd rather he were dead right now."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yun realized that Chao Xian was referring to her own brother.
Although Fan Yun found it unbelievable when she heard Fan Yu say those words.
After all, I never expected my brother to do something like this.
Can……
Fan Yun was at her wit's end; she tried many methods but couldn't rescue her brother.
Now, it seems only the Mu family has a solution.
"But I had no choice. He's my own brother. If I had a way, I wouldn't have come to you. I would have persuaded my brother to let Mu Yunzhou go. But I couldn't..."
Fan Yun's eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze was filled with grief.
This was her only family member in the world. She couldn't abandon her brother. Her husband's family was urging her to give up her brother, but she couldn't.
Because Fan Yu is the only person in the world who will never betray her.
"Fan Yun, you treat him like a brother, but he only schemes against you. Don't you really realize that?"
Chao Xian was actually very curious. Fan Yu's attitude towards Fan Yun was really strange. On the surface, he gave this younger sister almost anything she wanted.
However, he still prepared a dowry for Fan Yun, intending to marry her off to Jian Huai.
Later on, Jian Huai was even able to transfer Fan Yun's bodyguards away.
But why did the bodyguard, who clearly knew what happened at the wedding, listen to Jian Huai and leave?
A private hotel that strictly controls its staff and requires guests to have an invitation to enter has a staff member whose attire is not up to standard who has infiltrated its premises.
It's as if there's a pair of hands behind the scenes, driving things forward.
Chao Xian refused to believe that Fan Yun was completely unaware of the situation.
"Even if we knew, so what? Mr. Chao, people like us will only end up with arranged marriages or becoming pawns in someone else's game. If we want a good future, we can only pretend we know nothing."
Fan Yun sighed and smiled softly, "My brother saved me, let me study abroad, and is willing to give me the greatest freedom. I am already a hundred times happier than others."
Therefore, she had no way to refuse Fan Yu's request.
It's also because, even if her husband likes her now, without the Fan family, how long can that liking last?
She had to save Fan Yu.
This was a choice she had no other option but to make.
Upon hearing Fan Yun's words, Chao Xian stood up and looked down at the woman in front of him.
The woman looked delicate.
But in Chao Xian's view, the Fan family was truly a place where hidden talents resided.
One older brother and one younger sister.
None of them are easy to deal with.
"Of course, I'll wait for your time to consider it, but I only have 24 hours. I hope I can receive your call during this time."
Fan Yun placed her business card on the table.
His gaze was gentle, but his hands moved swiftly.
After explaining everything, Fan Yun turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Chao Xian watched Fan Yun's departing figure with a cold expression.
Mu Ziyan came over, saw the business card on the table, picked it up and was about to throw it away as trash.
But then he heard Chao Xian's voice trying to stop him.
"Don't throw it away yet."
Chao Xian looked at the stage not far away, his gaze indifferent.
Mu Ziyan didn't know what Chao Xian meant, but she still obediently put the business card away.
I get angry just seeing that business card.
All they wanted was for Babo to let Fan Yu go.
In the front hall, Mother Mu looked anxious. She was relieved to hear that Fan Yun had left the Mu family, but she was still afraid that Fan Yun had said something to Chao Xian.
Just as he was about to send someone to fetch Chao Xian for a chat, the maid beside him saw Chao Xian as soon as she came out and quickly said, "Mr. Chao, young master."
Chao Xian took the business card from Mu Ziyan, then quietly asked Mu Ziyan to get her some milk tea and get the car ready so they could go out for hot pot.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan happily went to make preparations.
Chao Xian entered the front hall, his tone questioning, "Was Brother Mu at the airport when the riot broke out? Have Mu Qianyu and the others found him yet?"
Mother Mu was surprised that Chao Xian asked this question as soon as he came in.
His expression changed.
They didn't want Chao Xian to worry, after all, Chao Xian had been working so hard for the Mu family lately.
But now the truth can no longer be hidden.
Mu's mother could only nod: "Yes, Yunzhou wanted to come back as soon as possible, so he bought the earliest direct flight ticket, but he didn't expect the riot to happen. Qianyu is still verifying the situation, and Yunzhou may not even be at the airport."
Chao Xian knew that these were just words Mu's mother used to comfort him.
“It’s the Fan family and the Ji family. Fan Yun came to me wanting to make a deal. If I release Fan Yu, Fan Yu will guarantee Mu Ge’s safety.”
Chao Xian looked at the business card in his hand and handed it to Mu's mother: "This is Fan Yun's business card."
At this moment, with no news from Mu Yunzhou, Chao Xian was also very anxious.
The Fan family is unreliable.
Furthermore, if Mu Yunzhou were truly...
It's probably in the hands of the Ji family.
When Mu's mother saw the business card, her expression turned indifferent.
“If we release Fan Yu, we might end up raising a tiger that will cause trouble in the future. But don’t worry, I will have Qianyu investigate him thoroughly. Besides, Yunzhou is quite powerful and won’t fall into the hands of the Ji family so easily.”
Moreover, Mu Yunzhou has bodyguards with him.
If the Ji family wants to take action against Mu Yunzhou, they will have to pay a price.
Chao Xian nodded: "If we can't contact Brother Mu within 24 hours, then we'll release Fan Yu."
Upon hearing this, Mother Mu was stunned, then her gaze fell on Chao Xian, and she disagreed: "But what if Fan Yu turns against us!"
"We can't get in touch with Brother Mu now, so we can't worry about anything else!" Chao Xian heard his voice tremble slightly as he looked at Mu's mother, his eyes filled with grief.
In this situation, Mu Yunzhou is the most important.
Mother Mu lowered her eyes and head, only saying "okay".
Mu Ziyan was unaware of this matter, so Mu's mother told Chao Xian to go and have fun as he wished, as there were elders like them to take care of everything.
Chao Xian knew that his tone had been a bit harsh, but his mind was in turmoil.
If Mu Yunzhou really dies... what will happen to him?
At this moment, Chao Xian felt that the scenes of his time with Mu Yunzhou were exceptionally clear in his mind. Chao Xian had always believed that Mu Yunzhou would be alright, but now…
What will he do if something really happens?
Chao Xian dared not think about it.
Mu's mother lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.
It wasn't that she didn't want to save her son; if she could, she would want him to come back safely. But she couldn't let her emotions cloud her judgment.
She couldn't risk using Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan.
She had promised Mu Yunzhou that she would protect Chao Xian.
If something were to happen to Chao Xian, she would have no face to face her son.
"I'm sorry, Mother, I was too hasty," Chao Xian said softly, without looking at Mu's mother, and quickly left the front hall.
Seeing that Chao Xian hadn't come out yet, Mu Ziyan hurried over to find him. Seeing Chao Xian outside, he waved and said, "Babo, can we go now?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian composed himself and nodded to Mu Ziyan.
After leaving the Mu family, Mu Ziyan seemed a little nervous and kept looking at his phone.
Chao Xian blinked, a smile in her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you make an appointment with someone?"
Chao Xian had only asked casually, since Mu Ziyan only liked being with him, and if he really made a new friend, Mu Ziyan would definitely tell him.
"No, I was just checking how long it would take for the milk tea to arrive at the hot pot restaurant, so I ordered the milk tea directly there."
Mu Ziyan smiled and nodded to Xian.
The hot pot restaurant was found by Mu Ziyan; it was the one Chao Xian had really wanted to eat at before.
If he hadn't known about the airport riots, Chao Xian might have been more interested.
But now his heart was filled with worry about Mu Yunzhou's uncertain fate, and when Mu Ziyan asked him, Chao Xian could only give a few words of reply.
Midway through the meal, Mu Ziyan suddenly mentioned that the milk tea had arrived at the hot pot restaurant, and went out to get it.
Chao Xian took out his phone to check the time, and then sent another message to Mu Yunzhou.
But there was still no response.
Chao Xian frowned and sent a message to Mu Qianyu.
However, they found no trace of Mu Yunzhou.
But the airport has already reopened, yet Mu Yunzhou seems to have vanished.
Even those people Mu Qianyu was monitoring from the Ji family reported that the Ji family hadn't taken any action at all.
Chao Xian frowned as he looked at the messages on his phone.
When Mu Ziyan entered the room, Chao Xian shifted his gaze from his phone to the doorway.
"Ta-da!" Mu Ziyan excitedly moved aside, revealing the person behind her.
Wearing a suit and holding flowers, Mu Yunzhou suddenly appeared in front of Chao Xian.
Just a second ago, Chao Xian was worried about Mu Yunzhou's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhou appeared in front of him the next second.
Almost instantly, tears welled up in Chao Xian's eyes and fell to the ground.
Somewhat at a loss, Mu Yunzhou stuffed the flowers in his hand into Mu Ziyan's hand next to him, and then squatted down in front of Chao Xian.
She gently wiped away Chao Xian's tears, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at him.
"What's wrong, Chaochao?" Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Thinking that Mu Ziyan behind him had upset Chao Xian recently, he said, "Did Mu Ziyan upset you? Then we'll send Mu Ziyan to study abroad, far away."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan subconsciously looked at Mu Yunzhou.
He looked puzzled.
I've been behaving very well lately!
Mu Yunzhou just wants to harm himself!
Chao Xian reached out and hugged Mu Yunzhou in front of her, and her anxious heart finally settled down.
After Chao Xian calmed down, she spoke softly, "There was a riot at the airport. I thought you were at the airport. I called you but you didn't answer, and I sent you messages but you didn't reply. I thought Fan Yu had arrested you."
Mu Yunzhou then understood what was going on.
She reached out and hugged the boy she had longed to see for so long.
With an apologetic look in her eyes, she said, "I saw there was a connecting flight this afternoon, but it arrived earlier than the direct flight. I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I changed my ticket. I lost my phone during the layover."
So Mu Yunzhou arrived at the hot pot restaurant he had arranged to meet Mu Ziyan earlier, relying on the watch on his wrist and the cash he had exchanged at the airport.
She even bought Chao Xian a bouquet of flowers during that time.
Mu Yunzhou took the flowers from Mu Ziyan's hand and handed them to Chao Xian. He also had a gift he had bought for Chao Xian.
It's a ring.
Chao Xian, holding the flowers, suddenly remembered that Mu Yunzhou had bought her many rings.
But it seems that I only treat them as decorations.
She never took the ring Mu Yunzhou gave her as a proper confession of love.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt an impulse.
Around the time Mu Yunzhou was missing, Chao Xian gradually discovered that his memories with Mu Yunzhou were so touching.
Mu Yunzhou was meticulous, showed him the utmost respect, and understood his thoughts.
If one day, Mu Yunzhou is no longer by my side...
Chao Xian didn't even dare to think about such a thing.
Fortunately, Muyunzhou was safe and sound, and Chaoxian had also figured things out:
People may change eventually, but right now, there's no doubt they're in love.
Therefore, Chao Xian now really wants to give Mu Yunzhou an answer, an answer to a question Mu Yunzhou asked a year ago.
Ignoring the fact that Mu Ziyan was unaware of their contract, Chao Xian just wanted to answer Mu Yunzhou's question.
A red gemstone ring was placed on Chao Xian's finger. Tears welled in Chao Xian's eyes, and her voice was slightly choked: "Mu Yunzhou, I do."
"Because I've fallen in love with you too."
So I am willing, I am happy to accept it, even if the future may not be what we want, at least we love each other at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou abruptly raised his head to look at Chao Xian. At that moment, he heard the answer he had wanted to hear a year ago.
Mu Ziyan was surprised behind them, then her face lit up with joy, and she almost screamed in surprise.
Fortunately, Mu Ziyan did not spoil their atmosphere.
He quickly went out and gently closed the door.
Raise high the banner of fatherly love!!!
Mu Ziyan was also unable to hide her excitement. She took a deep breath and then stopped a waiter, speaking softly.
"Tell your store manager that from now until midnight tomorrow, all purchases will be registered under the Mu family's name."
The waiter seemed somewhat incredulous.
But then Mu Ziyan continued, "Also, all the employees in your store today will receive a 6,000 yuan red envelope, which will be paid to the Mu family."
waiter:! ! !
Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou were unaware of what was happening outside. Mu Yunzhou was coaxing Chao Xian and had just calmed him down.
Then I saw Chao Xian holding his phone and starting to notify Mu Qianyu and Mu's mother.
I almost forgot.
After all, many people are still worried about Mu Yunzhou.
"You lost your phone and didn't even use someone else's phone to call us and let us know you were safe? Mu Yunzhou, you've really gone too far."
While on the phone, Chao Xian angrily rebuked Mu Yunzhou with a choked voice.
The most serious thing they said was, "Mu Yunzhou, you've gone too far."
Mu Yunzhou squatted down in front of Chao Xian and nodded hurriedly, saying that it was his fault.
They didn't dare to talk back at all.
He was afraid that his newlywed wife would be gone.
Mu Yunzhou watched as Chao Xian finished his call, put down his phone, and gently reached out to take Chao Xian's hand, only to receive a glare from Chao Xian.
I was happy to see the person at first, but afterwards I realized I was terrified.
If the tickets hadn't been changed, there might have been one more casualty like Mu Yunzhou.
Fortunately, Mu Yunzhou was able to change his ticket.
Chao Xian felt relieved.
My mood has calmed down a lot.
"Wife, let's have hot pot." Mu Yunzhou coaxed Chao Xian carefully, but seeing Chao Xian's angry look, he felt bitter.
When is it not okay to lose your phone?
It had to drop during transit, so he didn't even see his wife's message.
Now he still has to put up with his wife's anger.
"What about your phone? Are there any important files on it?"
Chao Xian looked at Mu Yunzhou and asked.
Mu Yunzhou shook his head: "But I've already communicated with the airport. They'll call the Mu family as soon as they find it. Don't worry, I've set a password lock on my phone."
The combination lock was set by Chao Xian back then.
Mu Yunzhou chuckled.
Chao Xian then managed a slight smile. Mu Yunzhou squatted down and looked up at Chao Xian. Seeing the worry in Chao Xian's eyes, Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Chao Xian's brows and eyes.
As he looked down, Chao Xian's lips were slightly red, and Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but be a little stunned.
With pitiful eyes, he said, "I want to kiss my wife."
Upon hearing this, Chao Xian's ears turned bright red instantly, before he could even speak.
Mu Yunzhou continued, "Is it alright, wife?"
Chao Xian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he sternly rebuked the unruly Mu Yunzhou before him: "What do you mean, 'can't'? This is a hot pot restaurant! Where's Mu Ziyan? Hurry up and call him in to eat hot pot!"
People always do certain things when they are in a panic.
Chao Xian hurriedly reached for the milk tea that Mu Yunzhou had placed beside him, but unexpectedly Mu Yunzhou reached out and took Chao Xian's hand, holding Chao Xian's hand with one hand and taking Chao Xian's milk tea with the other.
Mu Yunzhou placed the milk tea with the straw inserted next to Chao Xian, remaining motionless.
"Go and call Mu Ziyan." Chao Xian frowned, thinking that if they finished eating early and went home, Mu Yunzhou could also rest.
Looking at the dark circles under Mu Yunzhou's eyes, it's clear he's the kind of person who doesn't sleep well while abroad.
Besides, Chao Xian remembers it.
Several times, when I sent messages to Mu Yunzhou, it was always nighttime overseas, but Mu Yunzhou was able to reply instantly.
It's obvious they're working too hard and not sleeping.
Mu Ziyan returned to her room, glanced at Chao Xian and Mu Yunzhou, and then her gaze fell on the ring on Chao Xian's finger.
It was clear in his eyes.
Now he doesn't need to think about finding a stepfather!
After finishing their hotpot meal and returning home, Mu Yunzhou was pulled back to the small building by Chao Xian.
Mu Ziyan happily returned to her room.
When Chao Xian first entered Mu Yunzhou's room, Mu Yunzhou had said he was going to tidy up the guest room, but he ended up sleeping in the study the whole time.
Although there was a bed in the study, it was a bit small for Mu Yunzhou.
Chao Xian glanced around, then picked up Mu Yunzhou's pajamas and led him to the master bedroom.
"Go to sleep!" That was the first thing Chao Xian said, stuffing the pajamas into Mu Yunzhou's arms.
Chao Xian was very serious.
Mu Yunzhou threw his pajamas onto the bed, reached out and wrapped his arms around Chao Xian's waist, resting his head on Chao Xian's neck, lowering his head entirely for Chao Xian.
"Chaochao, you finally said yes! I suddenly feel so happy."
"Alright, you're a grown man, go wash up and rest."
Chao Xian gently patted Mu Yunzhou's shoulder: "Look at you, you didn't even rest properly after going out for a while, you look old."
Chao Xian's last sentence was purely a joke, after all, Mu Yunzhou's face was still resilient.
She just looked a little tired.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhou's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he quickly covered his face with his hands.
"Then will you stop liking me?"
Mu Yunzhou still remembered Chao Xian saying that he was too old.
Feeling wronged and pitiful.
Chao Xian was puzzled, looking at the person in front of him, not understanding why he thought that way.
But she still coaxed him, saying, "You should rest well, I love you."
Mu Yunzhou quickly grabbed his pajamas and went to the bathroom.
When Mu Yunzhou came out, Chao Xian was on the phone with Qian Yu. Chao Xian gestured to Mu Yunzhou, indicating that he should rest first, but unexpectedly Mu Yunzhou just sat on the bed staring at him.
Helpless, Chao Xian could only say goodbye to Qian Yu.
Upon reaching Muyunzhou, I thought I would need to coax her a bit more.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Mu Yunzhou picked up Chao Xian by the waist, put him on the bed, and pulled the quilt over him.
He just held Chao Xian and rested like that.
Chao Xian was completely stunned.
But when he looked up, he saw the satisfaction in Mu Yunzhou's eyes, as if a dragon had obtained its most precious treasure and was unwilling to let it go.
"I want to rest with Chaochao."
