Nian Mu was tidying up the tea table, and was taken aback when he heard Mu Shaoling's generous praise.

He has always been reticent, especially when facing other people.

Nianmu never thought that this bowl of noodles would get his approval.

She put together the leftover fruit that the child ate, and took out a bag from under the coffee table, which contained Taotao's favorite snacks.

Taotao likes to eat, so Zhanzhan and Ruanruan should also like to eat, so when Nianmu bought it in the supermarket, he bought three children's portions.

When Nian Mu was about to tidy up, he heard Mu Shaoling ask, "Where's your younger brother?"

The last time he saw the two of them coming out of the same community gate, he knew they lived together.

"He has something to do and he's on a business trip." Nianmu replied calmly, business trips are always a good excuse.

Mu Shaoling picked up a pair of noodles with chopsticks, let it cool down, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it, before saying, "Your resume didn't explain the situation."

Nianmu didn't react for a while, "What's the situation?"

"You have a younger brother." Mu Shaoling said, the difference between her and his younger brother's appearance is very big, if she hadn't said it, outsiders would not think so.

"There's no need to write it on the resume if the household registration is not together?" Nianmu said, she didn't feel guilty about this, because from the bottom of her heart, she regarded Amul as her younger brother.

If he wants to continue to investigate, she also has an excuse to deal with it.

Mu Shaoling remained silent and did not continue to ask questions.

The three children looked at each other, at their father, and then at the person sitting on the sofa. The atmosphere was so strange, do they want to ask?

They had doubts in their hearts, but no one asked them.

After two mouthfuls of noodles, Ruan Ruan couldn't eat any more. She jumped off the chair, walked to Nian Mu's side, looked at the rag on the tea table, and said, "Sister, I'll help you."

Nianmu took the rag from her hand, shook her head and said, "No, it's already been wiped, you take this bag."

Ruan Ruan lifted the bag, wondering: "What is this?"

"It's a snack for you guys." Nian Mu explained, looking at her pretty face, he touched her head unconsciously.

Ruan Ruan smiled shyly, she felt a little disgusted by others touching her head, but she didn't feel disgusted at all with Nian Mu's actions, instead she hoped that she would touch her more.

"Sister, it's very kind of you, thank you," she said.

As soon as she heard that there were snacks, Taotao, who had finished eating the noodles, trotted over, stood in front of Nianmu, and said sweetly, "Thank you sister."

"Good." Nianmu also patted his head, and when she heard the slight sound of the chair rubbing against the floor, she turned her head and looked at the dining room.

Mu Shaoling had finished eating the noodles, stood up, and looked at her side.

The moment the four eyes meet, Nianmu's heart beats inexplicably faster.

"Let's go." Mu Shaoling said suddenly.

Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan nodded, while Tao Tao was a little reluctant, he really wanted to stay with Nian Mu, even if his father, brother and sister were not around, he would have no problem staying here for a week.

"Father, don't you thank your sister?" Taotao suddenly said, "My sister cooked you delicious noodles. You should thank me. The teacher said that you must know how to be grateful."

"..." Mu Shaoling was a little speechless, he was educated by his son, and it was very reasonable, making it impossible to refute.

Nianmu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the child stand up for him, but he didn't want Mu Shaoling to be entangled with him here for too long, it would be great if he could leave soon.

As for thanking, she didn't even think about it.

Because facing Mu Shaoling, she needed a lot of stamina to suppress the throbbing in her heart.

Nianmu stood up, and was about to say no, when Mu Shaoling said slowly, "Thank you."

She had no choice but to say in a daze, "You're welcome."

Taotao nodded in satisfaction, with a teachable appearance, walked over, took Mu Shaoling's right hand, "Dad, let's go, I'm sleepy."

He knew that he would not be allowed to stay here, so he mentioned it simply.

"En." Mu Shaoling nodded, and turned around with the child.

Nian Mu walked quickly to the door, opened it, and said, "Mr. Mu, go slowly."

Hearing her calling Mr. Mu again, Mu Shaoling's eyes sank and he said, "It's time to get off work."

"Huh?" Nian Mu's head was slightly lowered, but because of doubts, she raised her head to look at him again, fully seeing the depth of his eyes, and her heart trembled.

"You can change your name." Mu Shaoling said, holding Taotao's hand and leaving, while Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan followed him.

Nian Mu nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Mu."

Mu Shaoling: "..."

He said that just now because he felt that Mr. Mu's title was too unfamiliar, but Nian Mu's current title is still unfamiliar.

It's just that there's nothing wrong with it except being rusty.

Ruan Ruan turned her head and waved to Nian Mu.

Nianmu smiled and waved at her.

After Mu Shaoling took the child to the elevator, Nianmu closed the door, leaning his entire back against the door panel.

She closed her eyes for a while, then slowly opened them, knocking on the door panel slightly.

There seemed to be Mu Shaoling's breath in the air...

Nian Mu remembered his deep eyes, which seemed to be alienated, tears filled his eyes.

It was right for Abep to use this method to torture her, what a cruel thing it is to not love her.

Her life is controlled by others, facing her true love and child, she can only hide everything embarrassingly, because she can't let her lover and child bear this pain together.

One person's pain is enough.

...

Mu Shaoling drove the three children back to the old house, then turned around and returned to the study to deal with work.

It wasn't until midnight that he finished processing the remaining documents, and when he was about to go to bed, the hospital called.

Ruan Bai had a fever again, and his symptoms turned to pneumonia.

Mu Shaoling hung up the phone and immediately drove to the hospital.

In the hospital, Ruan Bai was in pain. The repeated high fever and dehydration made her feel seriously uncomfortable. In a daze, she heard the doctor calling Mu Shaoling.

She forced herself to open her eyes, and after the doctor finished the call, she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?"

"Mrs. Mu, you have a high fever and have been given antipyretic injections. Don't worry, you just need to sleep and you will be fine." The nurse immediately stepped forward to comfort her. Here, she can only take care and comfort carefully.

Ruan Bai listened, knowing that Mu Shaoling would definitely rush to the hospital later, she said, "I want to see my mother."

"This..." The nurse paused, "Mr. Mu will be here later."
