In the dining room.
In front of Mumu, there was soup and rice, as well as some dishes that Aunt Zhou had placed on a little plate. However, he was sitting decently on the chair without moving his chopsticks.
“Mumu, why don’t you eat?” Aunt Zhou asked with concern, “Is the food not to your taste? Tell grandma what you’d like to eat. I’ll cook it for you tomorrow!”
Mumu shook his head and said, “We have to wait for Mr. Mu.”
“Ouch.” Aunt Zhou was greatly gratified by his answer. “Our Mumu actually knows that we can’t eat until all the adults arrive. You’re so sensible! What should I do? I want to take Mumu home as my grandson!”
Mumu blinked and said, “Auntie Youning told me that.”
“Good boy.” Aunt Zhou touched Mumu’s head and turned to call Mu Sijue. “Little Seven, the child is waiting for you to eat. What are you doing in the living room? You’re an adult, but why are you less obedient than a child?”
Cough! Cough!
Xu Youning coughed twice and tried hard to resist the urge to laugh.
She had known Mu Sijue for so long, and it was the first time she saw him being scolded. It was actually because he was even less obedient than Mumu, who was a four-year-old child.
She began to worship Mumu…
After Mu Sijue tapped the “Enter” key, it was done.
He smiled with satisfaction and closed the laptop. “I’m coming.”
When he arrived at the dining room, he found that Mumu was sitting next to Xu Youning.
He made an eye gesture to Mumu and motioned for him to sit somewhere else. The seat next to Xu Youning belonged to him.
Since the little guy was so sensible, he should have the sense to give up the seat, right?
Mumu directly pretended that he didn’t see Mu Sijue’s eyes. He reached out his hands to made a gesture of “V” and cheered, “Mr. Mu is here. We can eat!”
After that, while Aunt Zhou and Xu Youning were not paying attention to him, Mumu grimaced at Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes. This little guy not only occupied his place on purpose but also acted like a good boy in front of Aunt Zhou and Xu Youning!
He had really underestimated this kid before.
“Little Seven, sit down.” Aunt Zhou urged Mu Sijue. “If you eat later, the child will be starving.”
Mumu was sitting upright on the chair with an innocent look on his face. He looked so pure and adorable that no one could tell that he was secretly fighting with Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue knew that he couldn’t deal with this little guy using gentle methods, so he picked Mumu together with the chair up and put him down next to Aunt Zhou.
Then, he returned to Xu Youning’s side and sat down leisurely. “Let’s eat!”
In front of him, there was the soup and rice that Aunt Zhou had prepared for Mumu. He didn’t mind at all as he picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. In the end, he looked at Mumu as if he were the winner.
Mumu was very calm. He handed an empty bowl to Aunt Zhou and said, “Grandma, I want to drink soup.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll get you some.” Aunt Zhou took a look at Mu Sijue, filled half the bowl with soup for Mumu, and carefully helped him bone a pork chop so that he wouldn’t take effort to eat the meat.
“Thanks, grandma.”
Mumu smiled like a little angel, and Aunt Zhou looked at him lovingly.
Xu Youning was also extremely speechless about Mu Sijue’s behavior just now. She picked up a piece of braised rib for Mumu and said, “Mumu, this is Granny Zhou’s specialty. Try it.”
Mumu took a bite and nodded repeatedly. “It’s yummy. I like it!”
After eating, Mumu held up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. He revealed his two eyes and gave Mu Sijue a provocative look.
Humph, he won this round!
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and was about to glare at Mumu when the latter buried his face in the soup bowl again.
Mu Sijue got even angrier.
He had the ability to deal with such ruthless persons as Liang Zhong. How dare a four-year-old kid provoke him in front of him?
On the spur of the moment, Mu Sijue put forth his strength and almost broke his chopsticks.
Xu Youning did not expect Mu Sijue to be really irritated by Mumu. After a moment of silence, she also picked up a piece of braised rib for him. “Childish. Eat much and grow up quickly.”
Mumu put down the soup bowl and looked at Mu Sijue with a smile. “Mr. Mu, grow up quickly.”
Mu Sijue smiled meaningfully and slowly ate the braised rib Xu Youning had picked up.
He was already an adult. There was no need to argue with a four-year-old kid.
He just needed to silently teach Mumu to ride on his coattails again!
He decided to go against this little guy!
After the meal, the club manager came in with a few bags and said, “I don’t have much time, so I can only buy these for the time being. I will continue to pick some tomorrow.”
Mu Sijue frowned and asked, “What’s inside?”
“Well, it’s Mumu’s clothes,” said the manager. “Just now, Aunt Zhou asked me to buy them. She also told me to pick some good-looking ones.”
Aunt Zhou came over, took the bags from the manager, and said, “Mumu doesn’t have any luggage. I am afraid that he doesn’t have clothes to change, so I asked the manager to buy a set of clothes under any circumstances.”
“Aunt Zhou, don’t worry.” The manager pointed to those bags and said, “I not only bought clothes, but also some daily necessities for children.”
“Okay, I knew that you are a thoughtful person.” Aunt Zhou thanked the manager and then called Mumu. “Mumu, you can take a shower now.”
“Okay.” Mumu ran over quickly and said, “Auntie Youning, help me take a shower.”
Mu Sijue frowned and reached out to hold the little guy who was running past him. “You don’t know how to wash yourself?”
“No.” Mumu shook his head and said, “So, Auntie Youning often helps me wash.”
Mu Sijue did not know if it was an illusion that the little guy had emphasized the word “often”.
Obviously, he was showing off!
“She won’t help you anymore.” Mu Sijue let go of the kid and told him as if he were informing him, “In the future, you can either take a shower by yourself or not take a shower.”
“…” Xu Youning repeatedly confirmed that she did not hear wrong. She didn’t know what to say.
Mumu knew that it was useless to ask Xu Youning for help at this time, so he shifted his target to Aunt Zhou, “Granny Zhou, Mr. Mu is bullying me.”
Aunt Zhou came over and patted Mu Sijue. “You’re too old to argue with a child.” Then she helped Mumu tidy up his collar, which had been messed up by Mu Sijue. “Let’s go. Grandma will take you to a bath. You can wear very cute pajamas.”
“All right.”
This time, Mumu grimaced at Mu Sijue aboveboard and then pulled Aunt Zhou upstairs.
Looking at the mischievous little guy’s back, Xu Youning couldn’t help laughing.
“Are you still laughing?” Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning with displeasure. “If you didn’t spoil him, would he have dared to do that?”
“If you weren’t childish, he wouldn’t have argued with you.” Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue with disdain. “I just realized that you really didn’t grow up!”
Mu Sijue wrapped his arms around Xu Youning’s waist, took her into his arms, and got close to her ambiguously. “Are you sure I haven’t grown up, huh?”
“…” It should have been a good topic, but after Mu Sijue said so, it became dirty.
Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth, lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear, “If you’re not sure, I’ll let you verify it yourself tonight.”
Xu Youning pinched him and said, “Can you stop acting like a hooligan every time you have a chance?”
“There are no men who don’t act like a hooligan when they have a chance.” Mu Sijue said, “You should be glad that I am a good-looking hooligan.”
Xu Youning was speechless. This time, she really did not know how to refute his words.
When they went upstairs, Mumu happened to finish taking a shower. He ran out in a set of fleece pajamas and asked expectantly, “Auntie Youning, which room are we going to sleep in?”
Mu Sijue grabbed the hood of Mumu’s pajamas and stopped him from approaching Xu Youning. He pointed to the children’s room next to them and said, “You sleep here.”
Mumu asked very cleverly, “What about Auntie Youning?”
Mu Sijue crossed his arms over his chest, looked down at Mumu and announced, “She will sleep in the same room with me.”
Mumu widened his eyes and then shouted, “No! Auntie Youning said that adults can only sleep in the same room when they are married! You and Auntie Youning, you, you are not married yet!”
Mu Sijue half squatted down so that their eyes were at the same level. “Do you know what will happen after the adults get married?”
Mumu thought about it for a moment, but was still stunned. “I’m not an adult. I don’t know…”
“The adult will have children next.” Mu Sijue patted Mumu’s head. “Auntie Youning and I have reached the second stage.”
“You are the baby’s father?” Mumu tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he shook his head vigorously and said, “I don’t believe it. You must be lying to me! I want to sleep with Auntie Youning!”
It was the first time for Mu Sijue to deal with such a difficult kid. With a tut-tut, Mu Sijue picked Mumu up directly, took him to the children’s room, and put him down as if Mumu were a chick.
Mumu tidied up his messy pajamas and fixed his hair. Then he put his hands on his waist and angrily complained to Mu Sijue. “You are bullying me. You’re no longer a good person. You’re a bad adult!”
Mu Sijue said lightly, “You can also be a bad child and bully me for revenge. Anyway, there are only two of us here.”
Mumu also wanted to bully him, but Mu Sijue was several times as tall as him. He could only say with a crying face, “I’m unable to bully you…”
“Then listen to me.” Mu Sijue tried to scare the kid. “Otherwise, I’ll ask someone to send you back tonight!”
Mumu curled his lips in grievance and wanted to slip out, but how could he escape under Mu Sijue’s nose?
Mu Sijue reached out to grab him. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Auntie Youning!” Mumu called out, “You’re a bad guy. Let me go!”
Mu Sijue flicked the little guy’s forehead. “If I were really a bad guy, why would I save you?”
“Humph, I don’t need you to save me next time!” Mumu said unwillingly, “I can run away by myself!”
Mu Sijue smiled and said, “Then you should be able to run away from my grasp.”
Mumu was also stubborn, and he kept struggling hard, but a four-year-old boy was no match for Mu Sijue. His face had turned red, but he still couldn’t get rid of Mu Sijue’s grip.
Xu Youning pushed the door open and came in. She wanted to see if Mumu had fallen asleep, but she didn’t expect to see Mumu fighting with Mu Sijue.
The point was that Mu Sijue acted as if he really regarded Mumu as his opponent.
Did Mu Sijue realize that he was Mu Sijue, and also Seventh Brother, while Mumu was only four years old…?
