Witnessing this, Mu Linfeng was a little moved. He could not bear to disrupt this heartwarming scene, so he got in his car and left quietly.

  With Mu Lianjue now dead, he naturally had to deploy people to settle his funeral arrangements.

  Of course, with just one command from him, everyone kept their mouths sealed about what had happened tonight.

  As his subordinates brought his body back, he ordered the hospital staff to prepare an autopsy report. Thereafter, based on the circumstances of illness stated in the report, his funeral arrangements were prepared accordingly.

  For the father-son pair, it was as if nothing had happened.

  It was just the death of an insignificant person.

  However, when Second Mu delivered this news of his brother’s death to the rest of the family, it caused quite an uproar.

  Especially Mu Shumin, she was unable to accept the man’s sudden death.

  She naturally did not believe that Mu Lianjue had died from an illness. Even though his body was not in the best condition, he was healthy enough not to acquire any critical illness.

  Also, everything was too sudden; there was no warning at all.

  Moreover, with all the things that had been happening in the Mu family, it was hard not to think that Mu Yazhe had something to do with the man’s death.

  Still, despite her repeated questioning about the man’s real cause of death, Mu Linfeng remained tight-lipped on what had transpired that night. He was even a little impatient and annoyed as he continuously brushed her off.

  He was unwilling to say much else, and she did not dare to probe deeper. This left everyone else with even less authority to grill him about the matter.

  However, after a few days, the family was at peace again.

  To outsiders, it was announced that Mu Lianjue had passed away due to the worsening of his illness, so a solemn funeral was organized for him to be buried and be at rest.

  Of course, these were stories for another day!

  As the father-son pair was on their way home after leaving the expressway, Youyou felt unsettled in the passenger’s seat.

  While his great-uncle’s death had lifted a load off his heart, the thought of another person made him open his mouth questioningly. “Daddy, I heard that Mu Wanrou is currently confined in the Mu Group’s private hospital and that her condition isn’t looking well; is that right?”


  The corners of Mu Yazhe’s eyes twitched harshly before he let out an indistinct sigh. “You have a really accurate intel.”


  “Of course!” Youyou touched the tip of his nose delightedly, just like a mischievous, little elf. With bright, dazzling eyes, he said, “I’ll never let off anyone who comes at mommy! Even if it means searching to the ends of the earth and tearing this place apart, I will find them.”


  His father’s forehead creased as he asked, “Baby, did you know what kind of boys ladies are most afraid?”


  “Huh? What kind?” His son was confused, unable to fathom what he meant.

  “A mommy’s boy!

  “You’re the world’s biggest mommy’s boy I’ve ever seen,” he continued faintly.

  “Ha ha ha!”


  Elated, a precious and bright smile graced the boy’s lips. “That’s because mommy only had me before daddy came along. If I weren’t the one pampering her, who would?”


  The man was stunned. From the boy’s calm tone, a tinge of sourness could be detected as he recalled about the past.

  The boy’s heart dampened at the thought. Even though he was speaking calmly as if it was not a big deal, as he thought about all they had been through in the past six years, he still felt unjust for his mommy!

  In his heart, his mommy was an elegant princess. For a woman like her, she deserved to be loved and pampered immensely!

  His mommy had gone through a hard life, though!
