Chapter 738 - Honeymoon Departure (2)
As if she had seen through what Joy was thinking…… the smile on Zhao Youlin’s lips became more and more pronounced. “Yes, they’ll becoming more and more similar to Joy. They are also dad and mom’s baby. So are you, Joy, so they will become more and more similar to you too.”
Joy seemed to have understood Zhao Youlin’s explanation. His eyes sparkled, as if he was a puppy who had just only seen the world.
Zhao Youlin smiled and could not help but reach out to stroke Joy’s little head. Then, she seemed to have thought of something. “Joy, you once said that you’d like a baby brother, but not a baby sister. What about now? If it’s a sister?”
Joy was confused for a moment. His hand was still on Zhao Youlin’s stomach. His small face was wrinkled as if he had encountered a big problem that could not be solved.
Zhao Youlin did not point it out. She just looked at her youngest son with great interest.
After a long while, Joy suddenly pouted and said in a muffled voice, “It’s okay. As long as it’s mom’s child, Joy will like it whether it’s a younger brother or sister.”
Zhao Youlin leaned over and kissed Joy on his little face. “How thoughtful of you.”
Joy chuckled and took his hand away from Zhao Youlin’s belly. He turned around and held Zhao Youlin’s hand. He obediently returned to his seat and continued to look at the white clouds that were floating outside.
Zhao Youlin smiled and looked at the two hands that were holding each other on the left and right, as well as her slightly shaped belly. Her eyes were filled with unprecedented satisfaction and joy.
That was good. Just like this, she, him, and their child, always together. They would walk through famous mountains and rivers, cross the vast ocean, together forever. This…… was enough.
As soon as Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s family of three got off the plane, someone from the Mu family was already waiting for them at the airport.
“Young Master, Young Madam.” Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin each held one of Joy’s hands. As soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man walking over with a smile.
Zhao Youlin looked at Mu Tingfeng in confusion. Mu Tingfeng immediately understood. He took the initiative to explain, “This is the nephew of the old butler. The former master left the old Butler in the country, and his nephew took his place.”
Zhao Youlin suddenly felt more respect for this man. Of course, Zhao Youlin knew that those who could stay by the former master’s side would not be simple figures.
What Zhao Youlin did not know was that although the middle-aged butler looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
As the butler of the Mu family, he had more or less heard about their young master and young madam, especially since his Uncle Shunrong was the butler of the two families.
But it was precisely because he knew that he was so shocked at this moment. Back then, he had heard that their young master disliked young madam very much, and even loathed her. But now…… the amount of public affection was almost blinding!
It seemed that the rumors from before were true. After the divorce, the young master seemed to have rediscovered the good side of the young madam. Not only did he win the young madam back and remarry her, but they even had a second child now.
It was laughable that those ignorant women at home were still thinking of giving Zhao Youlin a lesson. They were even planning to hide this marriage from others. This time, they were probably going to be disappointed.
The middle-aged butler’s mind was full of twists and turns, but he had a certain understanding of Zhao Youlin’s position in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes, the former master of Mu family, and the Mu family. His attitude toward Zhao Youlin also became more respectful.
The Mu family’s mansion was not very far from the airport. They arrived in less than half an hour by car.
Only after arriving did Zhao Youlin realize that the main residence of the Mu family was very similar to the one Mu Tingfeng had in Shalnork. To be precise, the one in Shalnork seemed to be a copy of this main residence. Therefore, the current one was obviously much bigger and more imposing than the one in Shalnork.
The reason why it was so massive was, of course, to show the wealth of the Mu family on one hand, and on the other hand, it was built in the hopes that the family members could come back and gather together more often.
Unfortunately, the Mu family was not very united. The former master only raised Mu Xiaoyang, and Mu Xiaoyang only raised Mu Tingfeng, a son. Mu Tingfeng was also afraid of heights, and he rarely every flew back. The entire mansion was empty, and there were not many people around.
The former master was waiting for them in the hall when the housekeeper brought Zhao Youlin and the others into the house. The former master’s eyes lit up when he saw them enter the house.
Zhao Youlin smiled and let go of Joy’s hand. Joy immediately rushed toward the former master like a bird out of its cage. As she ran, she shouted, “Grandfather, grandfather……”
The former master’s cold eyes showed a rare hint of a smile. He squatted down and hugged his grandson. After letting him kiss his face, he said gently, “Such a good child.”
The former master’s action once again broke the housekeeper’s glasses. He had stayed in the Mu family for so many years, but he had never seen the former master speak so gently to anyone. It seemed that the former master really liked this new young master.
“Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, where’s the snow? Where’s the snow? I want to see the snow.” When they had come from the airport just now, Joy was already bugging the Butler to show him some snow. It was the first time Joy had ever been so adventurous in such a foreign place. He was very nervous and did not have the energy to see the white snow piled up on the trees outside the car window, but was still very curious about the snow that the former master had described as magical.
“Okay, okay, okay. I will bring you out to play with the snow in a while. Your mom and dad have just arrived. They probably haven’t eaten yet. Let’s rest for a while and eat before we go out to play, Okay?”
The former master had always been patient with this obedient great-grandson. Little did he know that his attitude shocked the butler and the servants beside him. They looked at Joy with surprise and awe.
The former master had dictated edicts left and right to others all these years in the Mu family. When had he ever shown this side of him?!
The former master held joy in his arms and whispered a few more words under everyone’s astonished gazes. Then, he turned to look at Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin. “You’re finally here.”
As he spoke, he focused his gaze on Zhao Youlin’s slightly protruding belly. A faint ripple appeared in his usually calm eyes. It was the purest form of joy and happiness.
