Chapter 136, Update 1362
136:
Having made up her mind, Ye Qingxi felt at ease. After Mu Shaoting finished telling her a bedtime story, she pretended to be asleep. Then, after Mu Shaoting left, she went to find Mu Feng and asked him to tell her another one.
Mu Feng: ...
Sometimes Mu Feng really didn't understand whether his little grandson had really fallen asleep and then woken up, or whether he hadn't fallen asleep at all and was just waiting for Mu Shaoting to leave so he could tell him a new bedtime story.
But there's no need for that, Mu Feng thought. He's not some kind of bedtime story king; he probably doesn't even tell as many bedtime stories as his daughter. Why should his little grandson do that?
Surely you don't want to sleep with him, do you?
When Mu Feng was young, he was very narcissistic, but now that he's older, he's not so narcissistic in some ways.
At the very least, he didn't think Ye Qingxi would want to sleep with him like that.
What happened?
Mu Feng didn't think about "going to bed early" for a moment, so naturally he didn't understand it.
However, this did not stop him from closing his computer and telling his adorable grandson a bedtime story.
After all, he was already used to it.
After waking up, Ye Qingxi wrapped herself up thickly before going out with Mu Shaoting.
It was very cold, so Mu Shaoting specially wrapped a scarf around his neck and put gloves on him before he went out, afraid that he would get cold.
"Auntie, what are we going to eat?" Ye Qingxi asked her.
"Eat steak." Mu Shaoting looked at the white and tender glutinous rice ball in front of her and gently poked his cheek.
Ye Qingxi nodded. Perfect, he was also craving steak.
The two got into the car together and headed towards the city center.
Upon arriving in the city center, Mu Shaoting led Ye Qingxi out of the car and into the Western restaurant where Yang Yu and she had arranged to meet.
Yang Yu had already arrived.
He was pursuing her, so naturally he had to be polite and considerate in order to make Mu Shaoting's feelings for him grow stronger.
Right now, he was sitting upright by the window, waiting for Mu Shaoting.
"It's a pity it's not afternoon, otherwise, the two of them like this would have a bit of a candlelight dinner feel to it," Yang Yu sighed.
As he was thinking, he turned around and saw Mu Shaoting walking towards him. Yang Yu quickly raised his hand to indicate that she was coming this way.
However, as Mu Shaoting approached, Yang Yu noticed that she was accompanied by a child.
Child? !
Yang Yu was somewhat surprised. How could there be a child?!
Isn't this their date?
What's wrong with this child?!
"Xiao Xi, you can sit by the window." Mu Shaoting looked at Ye Qingxi.
The view from the window was good, and it wasn't easy to be disturbed by people coming and going in the aisle, so Mu Shaoting naturally gave up this spot to his little nephew.
Ye Qingxi didn't refuse, let go of her, and sat down.
He greeted Yang Yu politely, saying, "Hello, brother."
Yang Yu could only put on a gentle smile and say, "Hello."
After saying that, he looked at Mu Shaoting and asked, "What is this?"
“My nephew,” Mu Shaoting said, taking off his coat.
Then she turned around, helped Ye Qingxi take off his scarf and gloves, and then helped him take off his down jacket.
"Aren't you cold without a coat?" she asked with concern.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "It's so hot here."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoting felt relieved.
Children are most afraid of getting cold, and she brought Ye Qingxi out alone. It would be bad if the child caught a cold.
Watching her actions, Yang Yu thought to himself that she was quite virtuous in front of the child, and had the potential to be a good wife and mother.
Very good, Yang Yu is very satisfied with this.
"Why did you suddenly bring your nephew along today?" he asked with a smile. "Did your brother and sister-in-law have something to do and go out? So you're the only one who can help take care of the child?"
"No, that's not it," Mu Shaoting said. "It's just that Xiaoxi wants to see you."
However, she didn't say the second half of the sentence, nor did she feel she needed to explain, so she directly called the waiter to order.
Yang Yu felt somewhat dissatisfied when she didn't explain.
Bringing unrelated people along when dining with others is something that should definitely be discussed with them beforehand. Mu Shaoting's actions were rather impolite.
However, she's used to being a pampered young lady, so she probably doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Yang Yu sighed silently in her heart, feeling that she was really lacking in interpersonal skills.
Ye Qingxi looked at him and thought to herself that this scumbag had dressed himself up to look presentable.
To be fair, Yang Yu wasn't ugly; in fact, he was quite handsome. Handsome boys are a rare commodity, and coupled with his decent academic performance and convincing acting skills, he was always very popular at school.
Unfortunately, the person he wanted to pursue was Mu Shaoting.
When Mu Shaoting was young, she admired dashing and unrestrained handsome men like Mu Feng. As she grew up, she admired three brothers with different styles, but all handsome in a striking and distinctive way: Mu Zheng, Mu Shaowu, and Mu Shaoyan. Yang Yu's ordinary handsomeness was simply not enough to catch her eye.
As for the others, they are not worth mentioning.
No wonder, he had to go to great lengths to set a trap for his aunt.
But that was the original book; now, he shouldn't even think about it.
Ye Qingxi had no intention of giving Yang Yu any chance to survive.
He was already very clear about how much the Mu family cared about him.
So, isn't it all a setup?
He can too.
Since this scumbag loves to act so much, then I'll play along and show him what a real movie star is like.
Thinking about this, Ye Qingxi felt that he was really lucky.
It's truly a blessing for him that such a big-name actor would act alongside him for free.
He advised him to cherish it.
The waiter, seeing the handsome men and beautiful women at the table, politely handed the menu to Mu Shaoting and Yang Yu, who was sitting opposite her.
Yang Yu smiled and looked at Mu Shaoting, saying ingratiatingly, "Order whatever you want, it's on me."
Ye Qingxi: Oh?
Mu Shaoting didn't speak, but opened the menu and leaned closer to Ye Qingxi, asking, "Baby, what would you like to eat?"
Ye Qingxi looked down and saw the attractive prices on the menu.
He changed his mind.
Acting alongside a normal person is free, but acting alongside a scumbag should be charged.
So Ye Qingxi pointed to the most expensive food on the menu and said in order from top to bottom: "This one, this one, this one, this one."
Mu Shaoting followed his finger and recited the names of the dishes to the waiter.
Yang Yu: !!!
Yang Yu looked at the prices on the menu. Wait, what's wrong with this kid?!
Why do they always order the most expensive items?!
And you ordered so much at once!
He kept hearing the questions, "Is this lobster the same as the one we had at home yesterday?"
"It's different. This isn't as good as the one at home, but if you like it, Xiaoxi, you can have one too."
"Then I'll try it." Ye Qingxi said innocently.
"Okay," Mu Shaoting said with a smile.
Yang Yu: !!!
Yang Yu couldn't hold back any longer—if he kept holding back, his wallet would go bankrupt.
"We haven't ordered steak yet. If we order so much, won't the three of us be able to finish it?"
"No, we can pack up what we can't finish. The teacher said we can't waste food, so we'll pack up whatever we can't eat later. Brother, you pack yours, and I'll pack mine."
"Don't worry, brother, I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm a big kid, I can carry it!" Ye Qingxi said, patting her little chest.
Mu Shaoting and the waiter standing to the side were both amused by him.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxi knows what she's doing," Mu Shaoting said.
Yang Yu: ? ? ?
Why do you call this random scribbling "well-mannered"?
If he had any sense of propriety, he shouldn't have ordered so much!
What a brat!
How ill-mannered!
However, he only dared to say these words to himself and did not dare to say them out loud.
He was afraid that Mu Shaoting would be unhappy.
Ye Qingxi felt a sense of satisfaction watching him pretend to be nonchalant even though he was clearly unhappy inside.
Serves you right!
Let him try to frame his aunt!
He turned to look at the menu and added two more expensive snacks.
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu desperately wanted to throw him out, but she could only endure it.
We finally managed to order the food.
Yang Yu looked at Mu Shaoting and decided to try to get to know her better.
"How's your singing practice going? Want me to...?"
"Auntie, I need to use the restroom," Ye Qingxi said softly as she approached Mu Shaoting.
Mu Shaoting immediately stood up. "Then I'll take you there."
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaoting pulled him along, heading towards the bathroom.
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table after they left.
Damn it, is he dead?
Mu Shaoting just took him there without even saying a word!
There's even a child here?!
I just ordered everything that was expensive, and now I need to go to the bathroom!
He did it on purpose!
Yang Yu picked up the lemon water on the table and drank half of it in one gulp.
Mu Shaoting escorted him to the restroom door marked "man" and waited for him there.
Before going in, Ye Qingxi took her hand and said, "Auntie, I might be a little slow. Don't go, wait for me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't know how to get back."
"Okay," Mu Shaoting said. "Don't worry, I'll stay here and not go anywhere."
Ye Qingxi then turned around and went into the bathroom.
Mu Shaoting sat down on a chair not far away and started playing on his phone.
Ye Qingxi went into the cubicle and started playing with her phone watch.
He didn't really want to go to the toilet; he simply didn't want his aunt and Yang Yu to talk.
Are you kidding me? Does Yang Yu even deserve it?
Ye Qingxi played for a while, estimating that the food he had ordered should be served by now, before leaving the cubicle, washing her hands, and going outside.
Mu Shaoting was listening to music.
She had signed up, so lately she had been spending most of her time listening to songs, practicing songs, and studying songs. When she saw Ye Qingxi come out, she took off her headphones and pulled him back.
Sure enough, the table was already full of snacks.
Ye Qingxi exclaimed "Wow!" and looked very happy.
He sat down by the window, wiped his hands, and began to eat, serving Mu Shaoting as he ate, saying, "Auntie, you should try some too."
"Okay," Mu Shaoting said gently.
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu thought he was really rude.
Shouldn't we share this with him at this time?
All he knows is how to eat!
He was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Qingxi, so he prepared to talk to Mu Shaoting. Just as he opened his mouth, the steak arrived.
"Would you like me to cut it for you?" the waiter asked.
Mu Shaoting nodded.
Ye Qingxi nodded in agreement.
He leaned against Mu Shaoting and asked her, "Auntie, when we go back later, can you come with me to the mall? I want to buy some snacks, it'll be quick, just a little while."
"Okay," Mu Shaoting replied.
"What would you like to eat, Auntie?"
"What would you like to eat?" Mu Shaoting asked him.
Yang Yu, standing to the side: ? ? ?
Wait, how did those two start chatting first?
Yang Yu quickly interjected, "Then I'll take you there."
Ye Qingxi looked pleasantly surprised, "Brother, you have a car?"
Yang Yu: ...
Mu Shaoting knew, of course, that he didn't have a car.
"Never mind," she said. "You don't have a car, we can go by ourselves."
Upon hearing the words "You don't even have a car," Yang Yu's pride was instantly wounded—he knew it; she really looked down on him.
"Does not having a car mean I can't give you a ride?" he said deliberately in a low voice, with a hint of self-mockery.
Hearing his tone and seeing his slightly lowered head, Mu Shaoting couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed—no matter what, Yang Yu had been helping her all this time, and his desire to give her a ride now was out of kindness.
She was about to say that she didn't mean it that way, and that if he really wanted to give it to her, then he could.
Before she could even say the result, she heard Ye Qingxi's soft voice first.
"You must be so tired. No need, brother~ It's so cold, you're going through too much trouble like this~" Ye Qingxi said very considerately, "I'll feel bad~"
Tsk, she even knows how to play the victim~ Good tea indeed~
It's a pity he doesn't drink tea.
It was all for nothing.
Upon hearing that he would feel embarrassed, Mu Shaoting immediately abandoned the idea of having Yang Yu deliver it.
"Xiaoxi is right. Don't worry about it, we'll just take a taxi there ourselves."
Yang Yu: ...
Yang Yu looked at Ye Qingxi, wishing he could throw him out on the spot!
Where did this brat come from? He's always causing trouble!
