Mu Shuyao turned his head, and in the dim light, Ning Hongjie could only vaguely see the outline of her face, but he couldn't quite see her expression clearly.

Mu Shuyao stared at Ning Hongjie, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Ning Hongjie mentioned in mid-air, faintly feeling that he might have stepped on a landmine.

After all, if it weren't for avoiding his eyes and ears, the cub wouldn't have been on a plane for more than four years old, and wouldn't have dared to go farther away except for V City and the surrounding counties and cities.

"Yaoyao, I ......"

Ning Hongjie, who was weak-hearted, thought of saying something repentant to redeem the current predicament.

As a result, Mu Shuyao interrupted him.

"It can be, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time in the near future, and the fastest, around New Year's Day."

Ning Hongjie let out a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, after you confirm the time, I'll arrange other things." ”

The matter of the long trip was finally agreed, and at this time, Mu Shuyao and Ning Hongjie realized that the cub was too quiet.

took a closer look, and sure enough, the little guy fell asleep in Ning Hongjie's arms.

The boat docked soon after, Ning Hongjie sent Mu Shuyao and the sleeping pig-like cub back to the apartment, and when he left, Ning Hongjie said to Mu Shuyao, "I will do things here, I will stay in the hotel opposite, you can call me at any time if you have something." ”

Mu Shuyao nodded, "I'll look for you if there's something." ”

The events of the past two days have endangered the personal safety of the cub, and Mu Shuyao will not gamble with the safety of the cub for the sake of senseless self-esteem.

Ten minutes later, Mu Shuyao received a text message from Ning Hongjie, "I have returned to the hotel, good night!" ”

Like last time, Mu Shuyao only replied simply, "Good night." ”

……

The next day, Mu Shuyao asked the cub for leave as usual.

The little one slept until nine o'clock before waking up, and the bruises on his knees were a little gone, and the little one was not so uncomfortable, and after breakfast he began to limp slowly around the house.

Mu Shuyao is working in the living room with a laptop, so that he can accompany the little one.

"Mommy, isn't Uncle Ning coming today?"

The cub walked around for a while, felt tired, climbed on the sofa, put his head on Mu Shuyao's big # lap and asked.

"He's very busy, and he shouldn't have time to spend with the cub today."

The cub let out an "oh" in disappointment.

Mu Shuyao rubbed his head, "If the baby misses him, Mommy will see if he wants to come over for dinner at night?" ”

Mu Shuyao doesn't think there's anything wrong with cubs' dependence, if there is anyone else in this world besides her, who is a mother, there are other people who can make cubs trust and dependent, that's a good thing.

He is just over four years old, immature and fragile, and needs a lot of constant protection and support before he can grow up safely.

If this reliable power came from Ning Hongjie, Mu Shuyao would never refuse the cub because of his own liking.

The cub propped up slightly and looked at her, "Is that okay?" ”

Mu Shuyao nodded, "Of course you can, isn't it just about adding a pair of chopsticks?" It's the same as Uncle Zhang coming to the house for dinner......"

The cub's face was happy, "Then Mommy, you ask!" ”

The cub is just a little kid, and if he goes to school on time, he wouldn't be so clingy.

In the past few days, I have become a lot of hypocrisy when I am bored at home.

Mu Shuyao sent a message to Ning Hongjie on WeChat, "The cub is much better today, you can walk around slowly at home, he asked you if you want to come over for dinner in the evening?" ”

More than half an hour passed, and Ning Hongjie still didn't reply.

The cub pouted #Ba hum, "Uncle Ning has already left, right?" ”

Mu Shuyao pinched his face, "Uncle Ning is much busier than Mommy, and in some formal work situations, you can't chat or talk on the phone casually." ”

The cub groaned, got up and nestled into the corner of the couch to read the fairy tale book.

Ning Hongjie's phone was pulled back nearly an hour after WeChat was sent, and there was no surprise in his tone.

"Yaoyao, I have time in the evening, do you need me to bring something over? Or maybe I'll just have someone do it and send it over, so you don't have to work so hard to prepare. ”

Mu Shuyao still prefers to do it himself, "Don't be so troublesome, I have everything at home, and it's easy to do, what time will you come?" ”

"Six o'clock, then I'll stop by to buy some fruit or snacks, and you and the cubs can always send me a message if you want to eat something."

Mu Shuyao snorted, and when he saw the little guy pricking up his ears, he handed the phone to his ear.

The little guy screamed milkily, "Uncle Ning is so ......"

"Baby, is you feeling better today?"

"Well, it's better, but I still can't ride a bike!"

The little one pouted and complained.

"That baby is obediently recuperating, and soon he will be able to ride a bicycle and a horse......"

The little guy held the phone and chatted with Ning Hongjie for a few more words, and then, Mu Shuyao heard him say, "Uncle Ning, see you at night!" ”

Taking the phone, Mu Shuyao smiled and teased him, "Baby, now Uncle Ning doesn't hate it?" ”

The little guy snorted, "Who said that?" ”

Mu Shuyao tilted his head to look at him, he twisted for a while, and then said, "It's not as annoying as before...... Still, there's a little bit of annoyance......"

A child's eyes can sometimes see the truth better than an adult.

Although the cub and Ning Hongjie haven't spent much time together, the number of times they have met is only a handful.

But whether Ning Hongjie treated him sincerely or not, he could feel it better than Mu Shuyao.

"Okay, now you can obediently go and go and paint, right?"

For the next half a day, the cubs were very obedient.

In the evening, while Mu Shuyao was cooking in the kitchen, he took Mu Shuyao's mobile phone and sent a few WeChat voices to Ning Hongjie.

It wasn't even six o'clock when the doorbell rang.

Mu Shuyao opened the door and saw Ning Hongjie standing at the door with a large bag of things.

Mu Shuyao frowned, "Didn't you say that I have everything at home, what did you buy indiscriminately?" ”

Ning Hongjie's gaze crossed her and glanced at the little guy who suddenly appeared behind her and was desperately squeezing his eyes.

smiled, "It's nothing, it's all food, let's eat it slowly in the refrigerator." ”

The little guy, who was originally worried about being betrayed, let out a long breath, and then shouted at him, "Hello Uncle Ning! ”

Mu Shuyao had already guessed a rough idea, turned his head and glared at the little guy, but he didn't say anything, turned around and went to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Ning Hongjie put the big bag he bought on the coffee table, and the little guy couldn't wait to come over and pull the bag to go in to watch.

"Uncle Ning, did you buy them all?"

The little guy lowered his voice, for fear of being discovered by Mu Shuyao.

Ning Hongjie naturally knew that Mu Shuyao had already seen through the "collusion" he was secretly doing with the little guy.

"I've bought them all, but the cubs can't eat indiscriminately, otherwise, Mommy will kill Daddy."
