Chapter 37 Chaochao says Muyunzhou is old
Su Ge came over with a suitcase and saw that Mu Yunzhou looked unwell.
He didn't dare ask directly in front of the boss, and stood behind Chao Xian without saying a word.
Mu Ziyan glanced at Mu Yunzhou, then pulled her suitcase and walked outside.
Chao Xian glanced at Mu Ziyan, then at Mu Yunzhou.
Chao Xian had a strange feeling about these two people.
Chao Xian assured him that he hadn't missed anything and quickly tried to ease the awkwardness between them: "Actually, it's not serious. I'm almost fully recovered."
Chao Xian even rolled up her sleeves, showing Mu Yunzhou her fair, rosy arm.
"Look, it's all healed!"
Mu Yunzhou's gaze fell on Chao Xian's arm. There were only some faint red marks on the fair arm, probably because it looked scary in the live broadcast room.
Mu Yunzhou reached out and pulled Chao Xian's arm, holding the slightly cool skin in his hand. Before Chao Xian could react, Mu Yunzhou gave a soft "hmm" and pulled Chao Xian forward toward Mu Ziyan.
Seeing this from behind, Su Ge quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching them before he breathed a sigh of relief.
In broad daylight, neither of them has officially announced their relationship.
If this gets leaked online, Chao Xian's fans will be cursing Mu Yunzhou for ruining their precious "cabbage".
Su Ge saw them off into the car. He originally wanted to go back with them, but with a look from Mu Yunzhou, Su Ge got out of the car by himself.
It's good to take a taxi myself; I can even get reimbursed by the company.
Chao Xian sat idly in the passenger seat, while Mu Ziyan clutched her backpack, looking utterly dejected.
The first thing Mu Ziyan was told when she got on the bus was that her allowance would be cut off for a month.
Although Mu Ziyan still had money, it couldn't stop him from being defiant against capital.
Chao Xian looked through the rearview mirror at Mu Ziyan staring at Mu Yunzhou with a defiant expression.
"It's okay, I'll give you some pocket money later."
Chao Xian thought that the money Mu Yunzhou gave him each month was already a lot, not to mention the film salary he received in the past few months, plus he was on set every day, so Chao Xian didn't buy anything.
So the amount in my bank account kept increasing, and I didn't have any expenses.
Giving Mu Ziyan some pocket money should be enough.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan glanced smugly at Mu Yunzhou and smiled excitedly, "Babo is really good to me."
Mu Yunzhou scoffed upon hearing this.
I consider the pocket money I received in the past few years as money given to ungrateful wolves.
Back at the Mu family home, Auntie was already waiting at the door. When she saw the car stop, she quickly took the suitcase out and brought it inside.
As soon as Chao Xian entered the living room, he saw his assistant and a man there. Before Chao Xian could ask anything...
Mu Yunzhou nodded to the man: "Let him take a look first, then go upstairs to rest."
Mu Ziyan was quite familiar with that person, but he didn't seem to think highly of him. He simply nodded to the person and went upstairs.
"It seems Ziyan still doesn't like me."
The man sighed, looking somewhat sad.
Mu Yunzhou didn't even glance at him, and whispered to Chao Xian beside him, "This man is Rong Huai, the Mu family's family doctor. He is Kong Que. He treated Mu Ziyan for a period of time before, so Ziyan doesn't like him."
They didn't say why they didn't like it.
But what does "peacock" mean?
Chao Xian was rather curious.
"Oh dear, Yunzhou, what are you saying? Am I just a family doctor? I'm still your cousin! You don't disown me, do you?" Rong Huai clicked his tongue lightly, looking at Mu Yunzhou with ill intent.
Then his gaze fell on Chao Xian. Originally, Chao Xian was standing behind Mu Yunzhou, but now that he had walked out from behind Mu Yunzhou, Rong Huai's eyes lit up immediately.
Rong Huai had seen many people, both at home and abroad, including many beautiful women and the most beautiful women of all, but none of them were like the person in front of him.
Despite his dark hair, it appeared exceptionally ethereal and beautiful on the young man before her. His misty, gray-blue eyes gazed at the man as if he had always kept him in his heart.
"My sister-in-law is really beautiful. No wonder Yunzhou was able to settle down in those temples. Indeed, none of those ugly monks are as beautiful as my sister-in-law."
As soon as Rong Huai finished speaking, Mu Yunzhou stood in front of Rong Huai, blocking his view: "I didn't ask you to come here to see him. He's been bitten by insects lately."
Upon hearing this, Rong Huai clicked his tongue, turned his gaze back to Mu Yunzhou, and looked at Mu Yunzhou with displeasure at everything he did.
Rong Huai said half-jokingly, "It's clearly you who's being unfair. You have a wife but didn't even introduce her to us. You didn't even hold a wedding. Aren't you afraid of making your sister-in-law suffer?"
Mu Yunzhou frowned upon hearing this.
Chao Xian, standing behind Mu Yunzhou, felt that the topic had gone a bit too far, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and offered his hand to Rong Huai.
"It's not serious at all, the red spots have all disappeared. Yunzhou was just too worried about me, and I'm sorry to have troubled you to make this trip, cousin." Chao Xian nodded slightly to Rong Huai.
Rong Huai glanced at it and saw that the red spots had indeed almost disappeared. Mu Yunzhou had told him about it, so he brought some medicine with him when he came.
"This one, if applied daily, won't leave any marks. Some medications leave marks on the red spots that take a long time to disappear."
Rong Huai took out a medicine from his bag and handed it to Chao Xian.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhou stood there and took the medicine directly. The frown on his face made Rong Huai realize how much importance Chao Xian attached to Mu Yunzhou.
Rong Huai sighed and patted Mu Yunzhou on the shoulder: "Even if you don't want others to see your sister-in-law, you still have to give her a proper status. No wedding banquet, and she's not even listed in the ancestral hall or family genealogy?"
Rong Huai tentatively asked, "Is it because you don't want him to appear in public, or is there some other reason? Yunzhou, I heard your sister-in-law is an actress, so he must meet a lot of people, right?"
Giving someone a title now is giving yourself a title, which is better than getting divorced later and not being listed in the ancestral hall or genealogy. Who can prove that Mu Yunzhou and Chao Xian are related then?
With a divorce certificate?
If Chao Xian didn't have a job yet, Mu Yunzhou's parents might really think that Mu Yunzhou was acting out of selfishness, and that Chao Xian herself didn't want to go public.
But now Chao Xian has started working in the entertainment industry again, although they don't think there's anything wrong with being in the entertainment industry.
Even if a wedding is not held, the family genealogy should still be included in the ancestral hall.
We cannot delay any longer.
Regardless of whether the choices made by the Mu family are right or wrong, they should remain consistent.
Being listed in the family genealogy is equivalent to telling heaven and earth and ancestors about one's choice.
There is absolutely no possibility of change.
This also provides security for your partner.
If a member of the Mu family does something to wrong their partner in the future, their partner will still be a legitimate member of the Mu family, while they will be kicked out of the Mu family.
Hearing this from the side, Chao Xian realized that his marriage to Mu Yunzhou was only a contractual agreement, so of course he couldn't be included in the family genealogy.
If this is recorded in the family genealogy, what will happen when the contract is terminated in the future?
Chao Xian couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
In a sense, Mu Yunzhou was his boss.
Marrying the boss...
I dare not even think about it during my leisure time.
Chao Xian felt a chill run down his spine. On a whim, he blurted out, "I don't think it's necessary. Mu Yunzhou is too much older than me. I need to think about it."
Chao Xian was stunned after he finished speaking.
You're so sharp-tongued! What kind of talk is that?!
Mu Yunzhou and Rong Huai's gazes fell on Chao Xian almost simultaneously.
Chao Xian sat innocently on the sofa.
Rong Huai glanced at Mu Yunzhou, then at Chao Xian.
"You didn't steal it by force, did you?" Rong Huai asked in surprise.
Originally, it was thought that Mu Yunzhou was unwilling, but it turned out that Chao Xian disliked Mu Yunzhou.
They even said they would consider it.
If he doesn't think things through properly, won't Mu Yunzhou be dumped?
Chao sat idly on the sofa, thinking that since she had already said it, she might as well go all out: "Mu Yunzhou is eight years older than me, can't I even consider it?"
Rong Huai felt that Mu Yunzhou beside him seemed to be getting colder and colder. He smiled, made an excuse, packed his bag and left quickly.
Even if this pretty girl is indeed very much to his liking.
But now, he finds Mu Yunzhou even more terrifying.
After watching Rong Huai leave, Chao Xian breathed a small sigh of relief and looked at Mu Yunzhou as if he wanted to praise him, after all, it was he who had just blocked the suggestion to include him in the family genealogy!
Mu Yunzhou's complexion was not good, not good at all.
Do you think I'm old?
Chao Xian exclaimed in surprise, looking at Mu Yunzhou with a puzzled expression. There was no one else around. Chao Xian glanced at the doorway and then at Mu Yunzhou, and whispered, "But the rules of our contract are that we have to cover up our family members and then let Mu Ziyan..."
"So I'm very old?" Mu Yunzhou frowned, his face cold and his tone rather unpleasant.
Chao Xian felt that Mu Yunzhou was too difficult to please.
This is wrong, that is wrong.
Being old is clearly just an excuse!
But Chao Xian didn't dare to say it directly. He felt that Mu Yunzhou's face looked even more frightening under the warm yellow light.
"No, how could that be? Thirty is the perfect age to build a career."
Yes, he only had a career, no family, let alone love.
Chao Xian's smile was fake; he thought he should just appease Mu Yunzhou for now.
It's unclear whether Mu Yunzhou actually believes it or not.
But to his surprise, when Chao Xian turned around, he saw Mu Ziyan lurking suspiciously at his door.
Seeing Chao Xian approach, Mu Ziyan wore a gossipy expression: "So you think my dad is too old, so you want a divorce."
Chao Xian: ?
No, Mu Ziyan eavesdropped, didn't he?
As if knowing what Chao Xian was thinking, Mu Ziyan handed the watch to Chao Xian, who could see a WeChat group chat on the small screen: Mu's Family.
Very good, very simple.
The person whose contact name is Rong Huai just sent a voice message.
Chao Xian glanced at Mu Ziyan, then at his watch, and turned on the voice chat.
Rong Huai's tone, as if he had just heard a shocking piece of gossip, immediately made Chao Xian close his eyes.
It wasn't that Mu Yunzhou didn't want a title; it was that Chao Xian was unwilling to grant it and wanted to consider it further.
They even embellished the story.
"What does it mean when your dad says he's a peacock?" Chao Xian suddenly thought of a question.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan's expression turned somewhat strange: "At first, I called him Peacock. Back then, he was my doctor, and he always dressed in brightly colored clothes, changing his hair color every day. I thought he looked like a peacock."
Mu Ziyan paused for a moment, then continued, "My dad said that peacocks have a terrible voice, and his voice is terrible too, so everyone calls him Peacock."
Chao Xian thought about it and realized it made perfect sense.
"So, is it really because my dad is old?" Mu Ziyan suddenly changed the subject and brought it back.
Mu Yunzhou, who was about to return to his study, walked by leisurely.
Seeing Mu Yunzhou's look, Chao Xian raised his hand and patted Mu Ziyan's head: "Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters."
He immediately hid in his room.
As soon as he closed the door, Chao Xian glanced at his watch, opened the door, and placed the watch in Mu Ziyan's hand.
Then he closed the door, all in one smooth motion.
"Mu Ziyan, come to the study."
Mu Yunzhou stood at the door of the study, looking at Mu Ziyan beside him.
Mu Ziyan: You can't afford to play this game.
Chao Xian retrieved the contract from the bedside table.
I've confirmed that the conditions above are exactly the ones I just mentioned.
So, Mu Yunzhou just felt that he had made him sound old?
Thirty years old is already considered old.
Chao Xian silently complained to himself.
Money is hard to earn.
You also have to appease your boss.
Chao Xian silently comforted himself.
Mu Qianyu's phone vibrated. She invited Chao Xian out for dinner, saying that she was about to go abroad and wanted to treat Chao Xian to a meal.
Chao Xian thought about it and agreed.
Mu Qianyu told Chao Xian to bring Mu Ziyan along.
Chao Xian lay in bed. He had eaten some airplane food on the plane at noon, and he wasn't very hungry yet.
I set the alarm, rolled up the covers, and lay down on the bed to fall into a deep sleep.
Chao Xian had only set his alarm for two hours. When the alarm rang, Chao Xian had just woken up. He turned off the alarm and lay in bed for a while.
Only then did he call Mu Ziyan.
This allows him to start getting ready to go out.
After washing her hair and taking a shower, Chao Xian changed into a light blue casual short-sleeved shirt and white pants, making her look exceptionally radiant.
Chao Xian opened the door wearing sunglasses, and Mu Ziyan was already waiting at the door, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and black pants.
Chao Xian raised his hand and slightly lowered his sunglasses, his brows furrowed.
"What about all the clothes I bought for you?"
Chao Xian walked directly towards Mu Ziyan's room.
At such a young age, shouldn't you at least wear some bright-colored clothes when you go out?
"So this is why you made me wear a green T-shirt out?" Chao Xian glanced at the T-shirt, then at Mu Ziyan, who had a defiant look on her face.
After thinking it over, I finally picked out a red dress for Mu Ziyan.
"Choose one of the two."
Chao Xian went straight out the door and waited with a smile for Mu Ziyan to come out.
As soon as Mu Ziyan stepped out of the house, she looked Chao Xian up and down.
That's great.
It's the taste of youth!
The restaurant that Mu Qianyu found was quite hidden, so hidden that Chao Xian almost couldn't find it even after driving by it two or three times.
Fortunately, Mu Ziyan came by.
Mu Qianyu had booked a private room, and Mu Ziyan went in and immediately addressed the waiter beside him as Miss Mu.
The waiter understood and led them inside.
Mu Qianyu and Elder were both inside, but it seemed that they hadn't ordered yet. After Chao Xian took his seat, Mu Qianyu asked the waiter to hand the menu to Chao Xian.
"Take a look at what you want to eat. This place is newly opened by my friend, but the food is pretty good."
Chao Xian picked out two items and handed the menu directly to Mu Ziyan. Mu Ziyan made her selections and then gave the menu to the waiter.
Mu Qianyu asked the waiter to go and prepare, and the door was closed.
Mu Qianyu asked directly, "I heard from Rong Huai that you think Mu Yunzhou is too old and want a divorce?"
Chao Xian was drinking tea when he heard this and choked on his own.
Mu Ziyan glanced at Mu Qianyu and handed the tissues beside him to Chao Xian.
Chao Xian took a deep breath and looked at Mu Qianyu: "I didn't say I wanted a divorce. Rong Huai asked Yunzhou to include me in the ancestral hall and family genealogy. I just don't want to for the time being."
Mu Qianyu said "Oh," which made sense. In their family, a wedding required being registered in the ancestral hall and genealogy to be considered a true official status. Compared to other places where the wedding ceremony and marriage certificate were the end of the process, it was indeed much more troublesome.
“Yunzhou had never liked anyone before. He lived a monotonous life, going between two points every day and climbing mountains to temples on weekends. At that time, the entire Mu family was worried that he might become a monk.”
Thinking about these things, Mu Qianyu couldn't help but find it funny.
"When Yunzhou was little, he watched TV and thought the monks on TV looked mysterious and unfathomable. He even said that he wanted to be a monk when he grew up. At the time, he thought it was just a joke, but after growing up..."
No wonder the Mu family had such concerns.
It turns out that Mu Yunzhou said he wanted to be a monk when he was a child!
However, Chao Xian couldn't imagine what Mu Yunzhou's expression was like when he said he wanted to be a monk when he was a child, with his current cold and aloof demeanor.
“When he said he wanted to get married, the family was shocked and confused. After all, Yunzhou didn’t seem like the kind of person who could find a partner, so we were also skeptical.”
Mu Qianyu sincerely told Chao Xian about the Mu family's doubts about their marriage.
They were afraid that Mu Yunzhou would just find someone to fob them off.
She was also afraid that Mu Yunzhou would hurt the other person in this marriage agreement.
“But when you came to the Mu family last time, we felt that Yunzhou must have approved of you to let you come. At least Yunzhou’s previous statement that you didn’t want to come might be true.”
Chao Xian understood Mu Qianyu's meaning and said softly, "So, yesterday when my cousin said to have Yunzhou include me in the ancestral hall and family genealogy, was that also your idea?"
Mu Qianyu shook her head: "Yunzhou's parents mean that they are afraid Yunzhou will let you down and not give you a proper title. After all, you don't know this rule, and they are afraid that he will let you down, so they asked Rong Huai to ask you."
Unexpectedly, it wasn't that Mu Yunzhou didn't want to.
He was unwilling to leave.
I'm too old; I need to think about it some more.
Mu Qianyu couldn't help but worry about whether Mu Yunzhou's future marriage would be smooth.
However, there are very few people who can make Mu Yunzhou bow down. The old lady in the old house who no longer cares about things is one, and now we have to add Chao Xian to the list.
If Mu Yunzhou wanted to, he could probably do something like having his name removed from the family genealogy after it's been added to the ancestral hall's genealogy.
But if it's truly someone you love who doesn't want to be with you, Mu Yunzhou can't force them.
Furthermore, Mu Yunzhou would never wrong himself; if it were truly a fake marriage, Mu Yunzhou wouldn't have continued this farce until now.
If Chao Xian knew what Mu Qianyu was thinking, he would probably just hand over the two-year-old contract to Mu Qianyu.
"Yunzhou has never been in love with anyone before, so I hope you can think it over carefully. Believe me, Yunzhou will treat you well. He is a bit old, but when it comes to feelings, it's not just about age."
It seems the Mu family is indeed very afraid of Mu Yunzhou being returned.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Mu Qianyu as an intermediary.
At least it made Chao Xian feel that age was not important.
What matters is love.
“But they’re eight years apart!” Mu Ziyan interjected. “Besides, he’s rarely seen and he’s not nice to talk to.”
Mu Qianyu's gaze instantly shifted to Mu Ziyan.
No, nephew!
We brought you here to improve your dad's image!
How could you sabotage me!
Mu Qianyu glanced at Chao Xian, feeling like she couldn't continue making up a story.
It's a headache. Why did my family assign her this task?
Seeing this, Chao Xian smiled and said, "Actually, I know what Qianyu means. Don't worry, I will consider it carefully. Qianyu, don't worry, we won't get divorced for at least two years."
The contract was for two years, during which the Mu family fell apart, and the Mu family members did not have a good ending.
But if they can get through these two years, the Mu family might be able to change their fate.
This can also be seen as Chao Xian thanking Mu Yunzhou for the salary he received.
Chao Xian thought to himself.
Only after receiving an affirmative answer did Mu Qianyu feel relieved.
I can explain it when I get back.
"By the way, when are you leaving?" Chao Xian asked.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu glanced at Elder beside her, a happy smile on her face.
“We still have things to do at the overseas company, so we plan to go back first and get engaged when we return at the end of the year. By the way, I’ve already taken care of Jian Huai. He’s in a precarious situation right now, let alone his little stand-in.”
As if it were a sudden thought, Mu Qianyu casually told Chao Xian.
During this time, Mu Qianyu stayed to resolve this matter.
Jian Huai always thought that those partners had withdrawn their investments because of the Mu family, and he thought that he would eventually lead the Jian family to obtain better resources.
However, compared to the Mu family, the Jian family was merely a group built up by a few generations of talented people. They were simply overestimating themselves.
Therefore, Mu Qianyu felt that since the Jian family was unwilling to give up Jian Huai, then it would be better to just let the Jian Group cease to exist.
Jian Huai is young after all. He may have heard of those business tactics, but he would disdain them. When all those tactics are used against him, he will only fall into them.
If it were the previous chairman of the Jian Group, he might have been able to hold on for another year or two.
"Compared to the Mu family, what do you think of Jian Huai?" Chao Xian suddenly asked Mu Qianyu.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu thought for a moment, then gave a sarcastic smile.
"If I hadn't taken a liking to Jian Huai back then, do you think they could have developed so smoothly these past few years? Compared to the Mu family, they are like mayflies trying to shake a big tree, ridiculous and overestimating themselves."
Chao Xian's heart skipped a beat.
That……
How did Jian Huai in the book bring down the Mu family?
It even drove someone like Mu Yunzhou to suicide.
Did Mu Yunzhou not commit suicide?
"Are there any other groups in the country that can compare with the Mu family?" Chao Xian asked Mu Qianyu, as he didn't know much about these matters.
Moreover, even if you search online, much of the information you find is messy and unimportant.
"Of course there are. Apart from the Ji family and a few other families that have already moved abroad, there are also the She family in City B, and the Fan and Du families in City C. However, the families I'm talking about have had some minor business frictions with the Mu family in the past two years, but they all know each other and usually keep to themselves."
Chao Xian nodded.
Mu Qianyu looked at Chao Xian with some curiosity: "Why are you asking this? Actually, there are several companies similar to our Mu family, but our Mu family's foundation is much deeper than theirs."
But the Mu family, with such a deep-rooted foundation, was ultimately brought down by someone.
It's likely that two-thirds of the reason is due to the original owner's betrayal.
Chao Xian felt a little guilty thinking about this.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyu felt that there was definitely something wrong with it.
"Let me tell you, Chaochao, none of the eligible men in their family are as good as Yunzhou. They're not as handsome as Yunzhou, and they're not as rich as Yunzhou."
During the meal, Mu Qianyu spent the entire time praising Mu Yunzhou.
As soon as Chao Xian and Mu Ziyan left and got into the car, Mu Ziyan suddenly spoke up from the back seat: "You haven't even seen them, how can you know they're not as handsome as Dad?"
"Ziyan, do you have any issues with your dad lately?" Chao Xian asked.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan asked in confusion, "No, I have no objection."
What opinions are possible?
After all, some people are attacked directly by their rivals, and all they can do is say they are too busy.
Why should someone like that have any opinions?
Chao Xian didn't believe it.
Judging from Mu Ziyan's expression, it's clear that he has a lot of opinions about Mu Yunzhou.
"Should I have your dad transfer your allowance back later?"
Chao Xian tentatively inquired.
I thought it was just a matter of pocket money.
Mu Ziyan recalled what Mu Yunzhou had said in the study and sneered, "I have money."
Well, they have a lot of opinions.
Chao Xian understood, but didn't participate.
After returning home, Chao Xian lay on the sofa and scrolled through his phone. He became interested in the attractive drinks that someone had shared on his phone.
I bought the ingredients and had the supermarket deliver them to me, then went downstairs to prepare.
Those drinks were non-alcoholic, and Chao Xian figured he was bored anyway.
After the items arrived, Chao Xian followed the tutorial on her phone step by step in the kitchen.
A beautifully presented drink appeared before me.
Chao Xian felt a great sense of accomplishment.
I cooked myself a bowl of noodles, and I felt relaxed and happy.
I picked up the drink and took a sip.
Chao Xian, who had been in a good mood, suddenly frowned.
It didn't say this drink was sour.
Chao Xian glanced at the various opened drinks in front of him.
I glanced at the drink I had mixed.
The drinks are all sweet, so why do they taste sour when they're mixed together?
Chao Xian didn't understand.
Keep trying.
Finally, I gave up trying.
He could only sit on the coffee table outside and eat, holding his own noodles.
They stared pitifully at the drink.
This is what Mu Yunzhou saw when he returned.
Looking pitiful under a lamplight, Chao Xian seemed to be waiting for someone to come home.
Mu Yunzhou walked over, and the first thing he saw was Chao Xian's aggrieved look. The second thing he saw was the noodles in Chao Xian's hand.
"If you don't like noodles, then don't eat them. I'll take you out for a late-night snack?" Mu Yunzhou thought that Chao Xian could only eat noodles for late-night snacks, so he was unhappy.
Mu Yunzhou reached out to take the noodles from Chao Xian's hand.
Then he saw Chao Xian's eyes widen, and then she looked at him with delight: "You should try this!"
Chao Xian handed the drink to Mu Yunzhou.
He was unwilling to be idle.
Seeing that the comments below all said the drink was sweet, he was very unwilling.
They even felt that their sense of taste was wrong.
Mu Yunzhou looked at the beverage, which was clearly drunk by someone, and was about to speak when he turned his head and saw Chao Xian's expectant gaze.
Finally, his lips touched the rim of the glass, but after only taking a sip, Mu Yunzhou frowned.
"Is it sweet?" Chao Xian asked expectantly.
A strong sour taste filled Mu Yunzhou's mouth, and it even made his stomach ache. He took the cup in front of him and asked Chao Xian if it was sweet.
But looking at Chao Xian's expectant gaze...
After swallowing, Mu Yunzhou followed Chao Xian's expectant gaze and softly hummed in agreement.
Chao Xian's brows relaxed, and he held up his phone to Mu Yunzhou's face: "I knew it! I followed the steps they sent me, how could it be sour!"
Mu Yunzhou immediately noticed the "April Fool's Day Special" message in parentheses under the long instructions.
Feeling helpless.
"Is the noodle good?" Mu Yunzhou bent down, looked up and asked earnestly.
Chao Xian shook his head: "The taste of today's dish is very bland. It's probably because I just drank a beverage, so I think it's just so-so."
Mu Yunzhou took the noodles from Chao Xian's hand, put them aside, straightened up, and extended his hand to Chao Xian: "Then I'll take you out to eat."
Chao Xian was tempted by these words, but hesitated: "Aren't you busy?"
Chao Xian remembered that Mu Yunzhou was very busy this afternoon, but he still came to pick her up. Mu Yunzhou probably hadn't finished his work this afternoon, right?
Mu Yunzhou was about to say "something," but when he turned his head and saw Chao Xian's hesitant gaze, it was as if Chao Xian wouldn't agree if he said he was busy.
"not busy."
Mu Yunzhou's father had just called Mu Yunzhou not long ago.
The gist of it is: if you make so much money, you should hire people to work for you, instead of working yourself to the bone every day and still not making the Mu Group the number one group in the world.
He even added: "The job is great, the job is great, so great that if your wife leaves you, you won't even know which way to cry."
The tone of his father's voice sounded very familiar to Mu Yunzhou, and then he remembered that Mu Ziyan had been raised by his parents for a year.
Mu Ziyan truly captured the essence of his father's words.
On the way back, Mu Yunzhou seriously considered that he really did spend too little time at home.
As a result, Mu Ziyan still can't get close to him, and even Chao Xian is afraid of him. Mu Ziyan is right, he spends a lot of time at the company, but he rarely sees him at home.
"Which place has good late-night snacks?" Chao Xian put his hand on Mu Yunzhou's palm, stood up with Mu Yunzhou's help, and asked Mu Yunzhou excitedly.
"It's best not to go too high in calories, otherwise you'll gain weight, and you won't look good on camera."
Chao Xian hesitated for a moment, thinking that she still had work to do, and then added her own words.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhou looked down at Chao Xian's face and said seriously, "Not fat, thinner than Mu Ziyan."
