Chapter 130, Update 1301
130:
“Okay.” Mu Feng leaned back in his chair, looking at his son.
At thirty, one should be established; Mu Shaowu wanted to postpone that time by five years, until he was thirty-five.
This isn't a big problem.
Five years is just the beginning. If he lives to that age, then he can take on the responsibility for Mu Shaowu for the next five years.
Mu Shaowu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Shaowu did not deny it.
"I'll head back now, Xiaoxi is still taking a shower."
"Mm." Mu Feng nodded.
He said, "Xiao Xi is still young and needs your company. You should spend more time with him. When he grows up, even if you want to be with him, he won't need it anymore."
That's the truth.
When Mu Shaoyan was a child, he would get into a fight with his elementary school classmates. When he got home, he would tell his family about the fight with a self-righteous yet slightly aggrieved tone.
Now, no matter if Mu Shaoyan gets into a fight, whether he wins or loses, or why he fights, he will no longer tell his family.
Because he has grown up.
His life no longer revolved solely around his family. He had his own friends—friends for studying, friends for fighting—and they would talk about these things together. As a result, his parents stepped down from their positions as his closest companions.
Mu Feng raised four children, each with a different personality.
In the process of raising them, he gradually discovered some things and summarized some experiences.
He felt that some experiences were something parents needed to explore and understand on their own, so he chose to let his children experience them themselves.
However, he felt that he should let his children, who were becoming parents for the first time, understand this as early as possible. Therefore, he chose to tell them so that they would not regret it when their children grew up.
Spending time with children is always more important than spending time with older children.
Especially since Mu Shaowu is not Ye Qingxi's biological father, if he wants to truly enter her heart and win all her dependence and trust, he can only spend more time with her than ordinary parents, not less.
"I know," Mu Shaowu replied. "I will control the number of roles I take on in the future, and try to spend more time with Xiaoxi."
Mu Feng nodded.
Mu Shaowu then left his study.
He returned to his bedroom, where Ye Qingxi was still taking a shower.
Worried that something might happen to him while he was away, Mu Shaowu knocked on the door and asked, "Are you almost done?"
"Soon," Ye Qingxi replied quickly.
He quickly rinsed the foam off his body with the showerhead and came out.
Mu Shaowu looked at his jet-black hair, which was still wet, wiped it for him, and then picked up a hairdryer to dry his hair.
After their hair was dried, the father and son prepared to go to sleep.
"Would you like to hear a bedtime story again tonight?"
Mu Shaowu looked at him, asking the question, but his eyes were full of "Listen, listen, listen."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought it was better to forget it; her father was really not suited for this.
He shook his head.
"Then Daddy will sing you a lullaby?" Mu Shaowu was not discouraged and quickly offered the second option.
Ye Qingxi: ...
He really does want to put him to sleep!
Ye Qingxi had no choice but to agree, "Okay."
What else could he do? He couldn't bear to refuse his poor father twice in a row.
Mu Shaowu was pleased and made him lie down, then began to sing a song for him.
Ye Qingxi closed her eyes, genuinely curious: did all members of the Mu family sing like this?
That shouldn't be the case, Mu Shaoting wants to be a singer!
You can't be tone-deaf too!
Speaking of singers, Mu Shaoting's first singing career is about to begin.
Ye Qingxi recalled that it was probably the second semester of her junior year.
That is, the six months after the Lunar New Year holiday.
Wait, Ye Qingxi opened her eyes.
He remembered that Mu Shaoting's journey as a singer was intertwined with that scumbag.
In the original book, Mu Shaoting wanted to be a singer, but knowing that her family did not support her, she used the pseudonym Shaoting to register for the talent show on her own after it started.
The preliminary selection went very smoothly, and the first round of the competition was also very easy.
In the second round of the competition, Mu Shaoting chose a very obscure and niche song. Unfortunately, the song plagiarized the lyrics of an obscure song by one of the judges. The judges were furious and not only scolded her but also gave her the lowest score of the entire competition.
Seeing this, the other judges didn't give her a high score, and she was eliminated just like that.
Mu Shaoting couldn't help but feel upset, but she was too embarrassed to tell her family—she was afraid that her family, who already didn't support her singing, would feel even more strongly that she shouldn't have chosen this path after hearing about it.
She could only tell the scumbag who had pursued her back then, and upon hearing this, the scumbag was incredibly gentle, caring, and attentive.
People are most vulnerable when they are at their weakest, and Mu Shaoting was one of them.
She found solace and security with this scumbag, so she stepped down from her pedestal and transformed from the proud Miss Mu into his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxi couldn't help but think about Mu Shaoting's recent behavior.
That's good and normal; it doesn't seem like they're in a relationship.
That means the other person is either not online, or they are online but haven't yet won Mu Shaoting's heart.
Indeed, a woman as exceptional as Mu Shaoting is not so easy to win over.
Most of the high-achieving women who are easy to pursue are either too pampered and somewhat naive, or they are poorly raised, materially satisfied but emotionally lacking.
But Mu Shaoting was neither of them.
While her privileged background certainly contributed to her somewhat naive and innocent nature, she was unaware of the hardships of life.
But more than anything, it's her family background that gives her pride.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until her junior year of college, after her dreams were thwarted, to finally have her heart won over by someone with ulterior motives.
She's beautiful, and boys have been pursuing her since elementary school.
But Mu Shaoting didn't agree to any of them because she always knew very well that she was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, and her boyfriend naturally had to be top-notch.
Mu Shaoting wanted her partner to be good-looking, like her second brother; gentle and considerate, like her mother; responsible, capable, and academically excellent, like her eldest brother; and finally, devoted and unwavering, like her father.
She also requires that the other person has never been in a relationship or had ever liked anyone, because that's who she is.
She wanted the other person to come from a wealthy and influential family, because that was also the case for her.
She listed a long string of reasons, stating confidently, "Aren't you one? But I am."
So much so that after Mu Feng overheard her requirements for a partner, he became too lazy to guard against his daughter dating too early—with these conditions, how could she possibly date?
Mu Feng understands men so well.
He felt that his daughter had a very low chance of not finding a partner.
He certainly didn't think it was a big deal. After all, his requirements for his future son-in-law were no less than those for his daughter.
If no one fits the bill, then forget it.
We can't possibly force his daughter to marry someone less than her due to circumstances, can we?
Anyway, his family is rich, so it doesn't matter if his daughter never gets married.
Little did they know that he and his daughter were living in a book, a book full of malice towards them.
Therefore, Mu Shaoting not only had a girlfriend, but also became infamous and committed suicide.
No, just thinking about it makes me angry. Ye Qingxi clenched her little fists, wishing she could beat the original author and that scumbag to a pulp.
Just wait, once this scumbag shows his face online, he'll whack him on the head like he's playing whack-a-mole!
May he be a rat in the gutter for the rest of his life! Let him stay in his own gutter!
How dare he even have designs on his aunt?
He must have had a death wish!
Ye Qingxi was fuming.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu gently poked his precious son's cheek and said guiltily, "Baby... was it really that bad? It made you so angry."
That shouldn't be the case, right?
It's not that bad, is it...?
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi then realized that he was still listening to a lullaby!
Ye Qingxi immediately turned to look at Mu Shaowu and laughed, "No, Dad, I was just thinking of something else?"
"Others?" Mu Shaowu asked, puzzled. "What?"
"It's from the TV show I watched a few days ago," Ye Qingxi said. "The male lead sang this lullaby to the female lead, and she loved it. She said she wanted him to sing it to her every day, and only to her. Then the second female lead said she couldn't sleep and was scared, and the male lead actually sang it to her too!"
Ye Qingxi deliberately puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be angry, "You big liar! You didn't keep your word!"
Mu Shaowu quickly raised four fingers to show his support, saying, "Don't worry, Dad will definitely only sing for you and will absolutely not let any other children sing."
"Really?" Ye Qingxi looked at him.
Mu Shaowu replied without hesitation, "Of course, only Daddy's baby can hear Daddy sing lullabies~~ And Daddy's only baby is you~~"
Ye Qingxi smiled.
He pulled Mu Shaowu's hand down, "Dad, you don't need to swear, I believe you."
Mu Shaowu felt the softness of his little hand and gently held it. "How about Daddy sings you a different song?"
So that his son won't be reminded of that scumbag!
But since his son loves watching TV dramas so much, I wonder if he'll want to be an actor in the future?
Thinking of this, Mu Shaowu looked down at his precious son.
I have to say, with his son's face, he'd probably be a top star as soon as he debuts.
A family with two fathers and sons, both top celebrities!
His dad would probably beat him to death!
I think it's all his fault for leading his son astray!
Therefore, Mu Shaowu dared not say anything.
He was afraid that something that hadn't actually happened might plant a seed in Ye Qingxi's heart just because he mentioned it.
He sang a new lullaby to Ye Qingxi again.
Ye Qingxi closed her eyes again and drifted off to sleep.
When Ye Qingxi opened her eyes again, it was New Year's Eve.
Mu Feng gave Zhang Sao a holiday so she could go home for the New Year.
From breakfast to dinner, everything at home is outsourced to a private chef.
While making desserts, the chef showed off his skills by making a flaming ice cream in front of Ye Qingxi, which amazed Ye Qingxi so much that she almost applauded him.
It's beautiful and fun; Ye Qingxi wants to learn it too.
However, given his age, I doubt his grandfather would agree.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi could only eat her ice cream while watching the chef perform as he made another one for Mu Shaoting.
After lunch, Qin Cheng and the others arrived.
"Xiao Xi." As soon as Qin Cheng entered the house, he looked for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi quickly stood up and ran towards him.
Qin Cheng, carrying a large box, placed it in his hands, saying, "A gift."
His father specifically told him to buy Ye Qingxi a gift.
Qin Cheng spent a long time choosing before finally selecting this Lego set.
Ye Qingxi accepted it with delight, "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome," Qin Cheng said.
Mu Zheng and Qin Luan also placed the gifts they had prepared on Qin Cheng's large box.
Mu Shaowu quickly helped his son carry the box over, afraid of crushing his adorable baby.
"Have you eaten?" Mu Shaowu asked.
"Mm," Mu Zheng replied.
“Brother, come with me,” Ye Qingxi said, pulling Qin Cheng’s hand. “I’ll show you something fun.”
Qin Cheng asked in confusion, "What's fun?"
Ye Qingxi winked at him and pulled him to the kitchen.
The head chef had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and was about to leave for the day when he saw the young master of the house running over with a child in tow.
"Uncle, could you show my brother that flaming ice cream too?"
"Sure," the chef said, his temper quite mild.
He started preparing the dessert again.
Qin Cheng watched curiously, and soon he saw the chef playing with the flames on the hot plate, coating the ice cream, which was indescribably interesting and beautiful.
"Isn't it fun?" Ye Qingxi asked with a smile.
Qin Cheng nodded.
The chef smiled and handed him the ice cream.
Qin Cheng didn't eat it, but instead scooped a spoonful for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi waved her hand, "I've already eaten."
Qin Cheng then started eating himself.
After finishing this dessert, the chef prepared to go home again.
Ye Qingxi didn't bother him anymore and pulled Qin Cheng out.
In the living room, Mu Zheng was chatting with Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaoting and Qin Luan were also chatting about something.
Mu Shaoyan wasn't there; he was still toiling away in his bedroom and study, a miserable test-taking machine.
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment, then said to Qin Cheng beside her, "Let's go find cotton candy~"
"Mm." Qin Cheng nodded.
Ye Qingxi pulled him up the stairs.
As Ye Qingxi passed by the sofa, she glanced at it and saw Mu Shaoting holding his scarf and gloves. She asked, "Sister-in-law, how do you knit these? Why can't I knit them correctly?"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
His aunt can also knit.
That shouldn't be the case.
etc!
Ye Qingxi's alarm bells went off instantly!
When do girls start knitting by hand?
Of course, there are times when you have someone you like!
Is Mu Shaoting planning to knit a ball for that scumbag?
Ye Qingxi was so frightened that she ran over instantly!
