Before Mu Qingqing could react, a hand was grabbed and she fell into a warm embrace. He raised his eyes to look over, and a pair of pitch black, bottomless eyes flickered with a bright light.
Mo Xiaohe simply carried her horizontally and walked towards the seat that they just sat on.
Well, after a while, she was finally caught.
"Hey!" Let me go! " Mu Qingqing gritted her teeth as she spoke, the redness rising from her neck all the way to her ears. This scene happened in front of the crowd's eyes. Before anyone could react, Mo Xiaohe had already ended this scene.
"You can shout louder." Mo Xiaohe said with a faint smile and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised.
Mu Qingqing touched her ears with both hands. Her eyes were downcast, but she no longer tried to resist.
"Xiaohe." Lili shouted, looking at Mo Xiaohe with a disapproving gaze. How could she let Mu Qingqing be carried in front of so many people? No matter what, she was still a girl, so it would be bad for her reputation if word got out.
"Either obediently sit down, or run out and I'll carry you back. The method is yours to choose. " Mo Xiaohe curled his lips. There was no one in the world he couldn't cure other than his father, Mo Liming!
"The former." Mu Qingqing wanted to flare up, but after glancing at Ren Xinru, she could only endure it. He clearly gave her these two choices, but she simply didn't have a choice.
Mo Xiaohe was very satisfied with the answer. He quickly finished the dishes in the bowl and sat down to wait for Ren Xinru to finish.
His two friends were very curious about Mo Xiaohe's actions today. Due to the presence of their elders, they were too embarrassed to ask about it, so they endured the pain.
"Xiaohe, we still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first. We'll have a good meeting the next time you come back." Mo Xiaohe's other friend, Zhuo Tianqi, was the first to speak. One of his friends had already slipped away on the grounds of going to the bathroom.
It seemed like Mo Xiaohe was not popular! His friends had all come, but he didn't even entertain them properly and scared them away. Mu Qingqing silently cursed, but her gaze was following the boy called Zhuo Tianqi. From the moment he sat down until the moment he started to speak, Mu Qingqing had the feeling that she had heard his voice somewhere before. But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't recall anything about it.
"How old are you?" Ren Xinru asked kindly.
"Fourteen." Mu Qingqing replied in a friendly manner.
"He's two years younger than Xiaohe..." Ren Xinru couldn't help murmuring to herself as she looked at her thoughtfully.
"Two years old? Is he only sixteen years old? " Mu Qingqing looked up at Mo Xiaohe, who was beside her, as if she was looking at a big Orangutan. Could it be that it was because he was from a rich family and ate too well that he grew so tall?
"You'll be seventeen this year, but when he was nine, you were only seven." Mu Qingqing, do you know how to swim? " Ren Xinru asked doubtfully.
Mu Qingqing noticed that what Ren Xinru said was that Mo Xiaohe was going to turn seventeen this year, which meant that he hadn't turned seventeen yet. Then, didn't Ren Xinru, his mother, know about Mo Xiaohe's birthday today?
"Auntie, I can swim. I would like to ask, how long is Mo Xiaohe's birthday? "
"Xiaohe was born in the winter, so of course he was born in the winter. "Why do you ask this?" When Ren Xinru learned that she could swim, she was almost certain that the person Mo Xiaohe was looking for was her.
"Winter …" This Mo Xiaohe, he was really a swindler! Mu Qingqing glared at Mo Xiaohe snappily. She had thought that no one in Mo Xiaohe's family would give him a birthday, that there might be some kind of complicated background, and in her heart, she sympathized with him! "Nothing really. I was just curious and casually asked."
"Xiaohe, you are both young now, Mu Qingqing is a very good child, and Mom knows that you have always been very attached to that matter. How about this, you just be an ordinary friend now. What happens in the future? " Ren Xinru's words were filled with respect for Mo Xiaohe's personal will. The reason why she respected this child so much was because of the words she said back then.
Mu Qingqing blinked her eyes. Could it be that Ren Xinru really agreed to Mo Xiaohe, an immature child, regarding the matter of the child's daughter-in-law?
"Mom, you mean, you want me to just be friends with her?" Mo Xiaohe raised his eyebrows and asked in annoyance.
"At your age, all you can do is be friends." Ren Xinru said with certainty.
In this era, many people did marry at a young age of ten. Child brides did exist. However, looking at Mu Qingqing's petite figure, Ren Xinru felt more and more anxious about her son. Moreover, he could only be considered a child. For the matters of his youth, perhaps it was just to repay the debt of gratitude. If he had a girl he liked in the future, it would inevitably hurt Mu Qingqing.
"Mom?" Mo Xiaohe looked at Ren Xinru maliciously. That was not what she had said at the start.
Ren Xinru sighed. Back then, the reason she could agree to Mo Xiaohe's unreasonable conditions was also because she believed that he wouldn't be able to find her. After all, he was still young at that time. Who knew that this child would bring Mu Qingqing here today?
"Then what do you want to do?" Ren Xinru asked Mo Xiaohe.
"She's still young, so I can't do anything about it." Mo Xiaohe stared at the short man beside him. He felt guilty because he was too short and too short.
"Then it's over. Just follow mom's instructions." "Right now, we should just treat him as a normal friend. Whatever happens in the future, we'll talk about it later!" Ren Xinru waved her hand and strode toward the hall.
"If I could, I wouldn't even want to be your friend." Mu Qingqing's tone was cold, as if she wanted to keep Mo Xiaohe at a distance.
Since she saved Mo Xiaohe's life when she was young, she didn't need to worry about the matter of her hand being stabbed by a rose last time. According to her understanding of equality, her relationship with Mo Xiaohe had been even.
"Don't even think about it." "It's nothing," Mo Xiaohe said flatly, while trying to extinguish the thought in her mind. I'll have my mother send someone to protect you until you grow up. "
"What do you mean? "You want to spy on me?" Mu Qingqing looked up at Mo Xiaohe in disbelief. She was free to do whatever she wanted, so when was it his turn to set up the monitor!
"Not monitoring, but protecting. They will protect you from the shadows." Mo Xiaohe patiently explained. With that, he strode towards the hall in a hurry.
Mu Qingqing chased after him. She wanted to argue with Mo Xiaohe. How could he be like this? Was he amazing just because he was handsome? He didn't even ask the person involved for their opinion on what to do!
"It's a deal then. You just need to remember the rules we made before. Once this is settled, we will always be at peace." Mo Xiaohe looked back at the clock on the wall. He didn't have time to say anything to Ren Xinru before he ran upstairs.
By the time Mu Qingqing ran to Ren Xinru's side, her expression had already returned to normal. She looked at the back of Ren Xinru who was running up the stairs in a hurry, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
"He has to return. Come and sit with me." On the tea table in front of Ren Xinru, cold and tasty watermelons and chrysanthemum tea were placed on the table.
"Auntie, I won't be sitting down. I'll have to go home with dad later." Mu Qingqing smiled and waved her hand. She wasn't as unkind to Ren Xinru as Mo Xiaohe.
"My family's Xiaohe doesn't usually like to go home. It's not easy to talk to him. I think he has a lot to say to you today." This son was good in every way, except that he didn't like interacting with his elders, so he didn't talk much. Ren Xinru couldn't wait for him to say a few more words. He just didn't like to talk.
"No way. He doesn't talk to me much either. " Mu Qingqing smiled awkwardly, her gaze shifting to the beige marble staircase.
Not long after, Mo Xiaohe ran downstairs quickly. He was wearing a green military uniform and was standing straight. When he ran to her side, he was still emitting the fragrance of sandalwood, which lingered on the tip of Mu Qingqing's nose.
"Mu Qingqing, I'll come see you next time." Mo Xiaohe smiled at her. The corner of his mouth was raised very high, making Ren Xinru shake her head repeatedly. This muddle-headed brat had indeed grown up, and had never seen him smile so brilliantly towards anyone before.
"Mom, I'm leaving. Remember what you promised me!" After saying that, Mo Xiaohe strode out of the lobby and ran towards the parking lot.
"I've never seen him smile so brilliantly at us before. This son of his has really been raised." Ren Xinru seemed to sigh emotionally as she shook her head with a smile.
Mu Qingqing quickly retracted her train of thoughts. She lowered her head and stared blankly at the light yellow chrysanthemum tea on the table.
Just now, that smile was really warm …
"Ever since I came back last time, I went to the Mu Family and delivered a round of wine there. From time to time, I would laugh foolishly. "This is great, I finally found his weakness." Ren Xinru joked.
However, Mu Qingqing could not laugh at all. She was already remembered, so she was not happy at all.
"Auntie, you won't do what he says, right?" Mu Qingqing asked cautiously.
"This son of mine is a man of his own will. Generally speaking, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, I will respect him."
"You respect his will to spy on me?" Mu Qingqing asked in surprise.
"Xiaohe said he was protecting you, so he didn't say that he was monitoring you." Ren Xinru took a sip of the warm chrysanthemum tea and was surprised to find that Mu Qingqing was too mature. To know how to protect her was to watch over her.
"Auntie, I'm not that familiar with him, so it's not worth it for you to pay for me. to ask someone to protect me. " Mu Qingqing said earnestly.
"You're not like most kids I've ever seen." Ren Xinru smiled elegantly, as if she thought highly of Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing: "…"
While he was arguing with Ren Xinru, Mu Anren and his comrades walked into the hall with Mo Liming, who was slightly shorter than Wu Tie, standing beside them.
