A beauty was offering herself to him at the moment, and it would be such a waste to let the night pass without doing anything. Besides, he was still a regular man.
He had originally been passive in this, but he began putting effort into regaining the initiative. But how would Zhao Youlin let him have his way so easily?
Both of them refused to compromise and were unwilling to be the first to give in. The temperature in the room rose under the scramble, and it naturally led to them tumbling in the sheets.
Darkness crept upon them silently, adding to the heart-pounding romantic tension under the dim moonlight, and the flowers and plants that witnessed this scene could not help but blush.
The next morning, when Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng came down hand in hand from the second floor, Su Ruixin and the others were already seated with Joy, waiting for them to join them for breakfast.
The two of them greeted the elders. As soon as they sat down, Zhao Youlin found that the dishes that they served on the second day of her and Mu Tingfeng’s wedding were back!
Zhao Youlin’s keep senses told her this was a bad omen. As she expected, as soon as they started eating the breakfast, Su Ruixin immediately started to put food into her bowl. In just a matter of moments, Zhao Youlin’s bowl had been piled up with three layers of food.
“Mom, um… I can’t finish all this food. Please stop putting food into my bowl. You should have some too, please.”
“It’s okay. No worries.” Su Ruixin gazed at Zhao Youlin with a smile, putting on a kind-hearted, maternal look on her face, though it only made Zhao Youlin shudder. The bad hunch she had only grew stronger.
As it turned out, Zhao Youlin’s sixth sense was very accurate.
“Didn’t I say last time that you need to nourish your body? I am already old, and I don’t need this. You and Tingfeng are still young. You need this more than I do.”
“Oh……” Why did this sound so awkward?
Before Zhao Youlin could think further about it, Mu Xiaoyang, who was sitting next to Su Ruixin, had cleared his throat before she could speak. He said with a stern expression, “Next time… Remember to close the door and window tightly at night. There is a child at home. Be more mindful of your image.”
Zhao Youlin was dumbfounded. It took her a long time to realize what Mu Xiaoyang meant by that. She turned crimson instantly.
Mu Tingfeng, on the contrary, was very calm. He nodded like a filial son listening to a parent’s education. He said with a serious expression, “We will be more mindful next time.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. ‘Could you not talk about such an extremely embarrassing thing with a poker face?’
Zhao Youlin’s face was red. She picked up a piece of tissue paper on the table and began to wipe her mouth. She turned her head away and pretended to be calm. While she was wiping her mouth, she stretched her leg to the side. After her knee bumped against Mu Tingfeng’s thigh, she lifted her leg… and stomped down fiercely!
The power of high heels, especially the power of stiletto heels, was not a joke. Despite constantly having a stern, unsmiling face, Mu Tingfeng’s expression still changed after Zhou Youlin stomped on his foot.
He reached out and grabbed a cold beverage on the table. He took a sip, pretending to be calm, but his slightly trembling arm had betrayed his true feelings at the moment.
Seeing his reaction, Zhao Youlin felt an indescribable pleasure. The shame of being caught doing that kind of thing in the middle of the night and exposed had finally faded a bit. She acted as if nothing had happened as she picked up the chopsticks and bowl in front of her and started eating.
Several adults took in the small actions of the two. There were some faint smiles on their faces.
Joy looked like he was puzzled by the conversation of the adults, but it seemed that he was not completely awake yet, because he had just gotten out of bed not long ago. In the end, he did not ask anything, otherwise, Zhao Youlin might blow up again.
Breakfast went by peacefully. They enjoyed their food in a mundane and comfy atmosphere.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, the old master suddenly said, “Once Xiao Qi’s wedding ends, I am going back to Yorkshire. Do you want to go back with me or stay here?”
Zhao Youlin and the others were stunned. But knowing that the old man was asking Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang, she turned her gaze on them.
The three elders had stayed in the country for so long and spent so much time with Zhao Youlin and the others to the point that they had forgotten that the majority of the Mu family’s business was abroad. Although they had trusted aides, they still needed to go back to take over the management of the company one day.?It was impossible for them to stay in the country for a long time.
“We will see about that.” Su Ruixin looked at Zhao Youlin and Joy. She appeared extremely reluctant to leave them.
The old man did not press on the matter. He only said that to give them both a reminder; he did not force them to give him an answer right away.
Zhao Youlin, however, heard another extraordinary thing from what the old man had just said, “Grandpa, did you just say…… Xiao Qi’s wedding?”
Master Mu turned his head to look at Zhao Youlin, affirming the guess in her mind. “Your uncle and aunt are preparing to hold a wedding for Xiao Qi and the young master of the Ye family in a month. The invitations should be sent over the next few days.”
“In a month? So soon?” Zhao Youlin was surprised to hear that. That day, when Su He stood up to protect Ye Yan, she already had a feeling that these two would get married soon, but it still happened too quickly!
Master Mu glanced at Zhao Youlin and replied nonchalantly, “Xiao Qi and her baby can’t afford to wait long.”
Zhao Youlin did not know what to say. Su He was more than five months along at this point in time, and she would be six months along in another month. If they kept dragging on, the child was going to be born. By then, she would have to wait an even longer time due to her postpartum recuperation and so on. If their wedding was delayed even longer, more unforeseen circumstances would happen, and her reputation would certainly be damaged.
Zhao Youlin fell silent. Joy, in turn, shouted as an afterthought, “Abroad? Where is abroad? Great-grandpa Mu, are you going to play somewhere else?”
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded because of Joy’s naive question. After they came to their senses, both women let out a loud laugh, and even the men, who always seemed cold and serious outside, could not help but laugh as well.
Joy stared at them with his big, confused eyes, not understanding what he said that made everyone laugh.
“Oh, my sweetheart.” Su Ruixin laughed while hugging Joy and pecking his cheek several times. “How can you be so cute?”
Master Mu looked at Joy’s confused and cute appearance. His cold eyes inadvertently softened a little. Even his tone of voice was not as cold and harsh as usual.
“I am going to a very far place. There is snow and a small forest there. Do you want to go with me?”
The moment the old man said that, everyone stopped whatever they were doing at hand. Su Ruixin opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she was stopped by Mu Xiaoyang.
Joy met the old man’s eyes and was a little curious. “Great-grandpa, what is snow?”
The old man was taken aback, looking like he did not know how to answer his great-grandson’s question. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Snow is a little…… white and cold…… It is a little like the frozen ice inside the refrigerator, but ice is harder, and snow is softer. Have you never seen snow before, Joy?”
