Hearing Su Jianâanâs voice, Mumu jumped over excitedly. âSister Yunyun, shall we go back now?â
âItâs still early.â Xiao Yunyun patiently explained to Mumu, âAfter lunch, Granny Zhou will go to buy ingredients. After she finishes it, we will go back with her!â
Mumuâs eyes darkened. He pursed his lips and compromised. âOkay, then Iâll wait a little longer...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yunyun didnât ignore the little boyâs disappointment. She pinched his face and asked, âDo you want to go back now?â
â...â Mumu blinked his eyes, and there was still a trace of expectation to go back in his eyes. He didnât deny Xiao Yunyunâs words.
Xiao Yunyun thought it was funny. She carefully looked at the little boy and asked deliberately, âMumu, who are you missing? Auntie Youning?â
Mumu, who was very honest, fell into the trap and shook his head in denial. âNo!â
âOhââ Xiao Yunyun drawled. Then she said with certainty, âThen you must be missing the babies.â
Mumu didnât expect that his thoughts would be seen through. He covered his face with both hands so that Xiao Yunyun couldnât see his shyness, but he peeked at Xiao Yunyun through the gap between his fingers. The latter was laughing mischievously.
Xiao Yunyun rubbed the little boyâs head and said, âDonât worry. Weâll have lunch and take a nap. Then weâll go back together.â
Mumu glanced at Shen Yuechuan. âWill Uncle Yuechuan go with us?â
Xiao Yunyun didnât reply, and she deliberately asked, âDo you want Uncle Yuechuan to go with us?â
Mumu thought about it and shook his head decisively. âNo!â
Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes. The little boy actually wanted to get rid of him and have Xiao Yunyun all to himself?
The kid couldnât know that he had ten thousand ways to make the kid pester him for going back with them.
Xiao Yunyun signaled Shen Yuechuan to calm down and asked Mumu patiently, âWhy donât you want Uncle Yuechuan to go with us?â
Mumu looked conflicted and couldnât say a word for a long time. Finally, he fluently explained in English, âAuntie Youning said that the sick should stay in the hospital and mustnât run around. Do you still remember that Uncle Yuechuan fainted when he ran around last time?â
He was talking about the last time when Shen Yuechuan had fainted at the top of the mountain.
Xiao Yunyun was amused by the little boyâs description and said, âSo, you said it for the sake of Uncle Yuechuan?â
Mumu pouted and looked as if he didnât want to admit it, but it was true.
Xiao Yunyun looked at Mumu and then at Shen Yuechuan. She came to a conclusion. âYouâre both difficult to deal with.â
The two people, who were not easy to deal with, did not say anything. The older one turned on the computer and read the documents, while the younger one held Xiao Yunyunâs hand and said, âSister Yunyun, letâs continue to play games.â
âOkay!â
Xiao Yunyun and Mumu sat on the carpet and continued the unfinished fight just now.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and it was time for lunch.
Tang Yulan called Shen Yuechuan and said, âYuechuan, I wonât send you lunch at noon today. Mrs. Tang and I are playing cards. How about you ask the hotel to send the lunch there?â
Some time ago, someone told Su Yunjin that there was an excellent brain surgeon in Switzerland. Su Yunjin immediately took Shen Yuechuanâs medical record to Switzerland.
In addition, since Su Jianâan was living at the top of the mountain, it was inconvenient for her to prepare meals for them, so Tang Yulan was responsible for sending meals to Shen Yuechuan.
However, Tang Yulan was a big fan of mahjong. Shen Yuechuan could completely understand that Tang Yulan would ignore him because of playing mahjong. He smiled and said, âDonât bother. Iâll eat in the hospital restaurant.â
âYeah, you can eat wherever you like. Iâll send you dinner in the afternoon.â Tang Yulanâs voice was accompanied by the sound of playing mahjong. âNow, Iâll play mahjong first.â
âOkay.â
Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and took away the iPad. âLetâs go downstairs for lunch.â
Xiao Yunyun was hungry, so she pulled Mumu up and said, âLetâs go and eat something tasty.â
Mumu obediently followed Xiao Yunyun and hopped all the way. The three of them soon arrived at the restaurant.
The hospital restaurant was built according to the star-rating system. Even from the most inconspicuous corner, it didnât look like a hospital restaurant.
The only difference between it and the restaurants of the same rank was that it pursued natural and healthy food.
The waiter served the menu, and Shen Yuechuan handed it directly to Xu Youning and Mumu.
Mumu blinked and said, âSir, donât you want to order?â
Shen Yuechuan said, âIâll leave it to you. You can order whatever you want.â He could only do this for Mumu at most.
If he did more, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted to this little boy in the future.
Mumu replied with an âohâ, ordered two dishes, and pushed the menu to Xiao Yunyun. âSister Yunyun, itâs your turn.â
âWhy donât you order more?â Xiao Yunyun was confused. âIsnât there anything else you like?â
Mumu held his chin with both hands and said, âI am afraid that I may order some dishes that you donât like. If so, I canât finish them alone...â
Xiao Yunyun had a better impression of Mumu. She touched the little boyâs head with a smile, ordered a few dishes that she and Shen Yuechuan both liked, and finally added another dish that Mumu liked.
The three of them had a quite good meal.
At the same time, at the top of the mountain, Su Jianâan and Xu Youning were very busy.
They had to decorate the house according to what they had decided and make it a house for a birthday celebration.
Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi were pregnant. Su Jianâan did not dare to let them do anything, so she asked Lu Boyan to send a few people to her.
Lu Boyan called some staff in the club over. They were young and strong, reliable and efficient.
Then, Su Jianâan was the director, while Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi were in charge of the final inspection and confirmation.
The group of people had been busy for the whole afternoon. The originally luxurious and elegant villa gradually became a world full of childishness, decorated with the elements of animations and games that Mumu liked.
At the last stage, the staff of the club said, âMrs. Lu, leave the rest to us. You can have a rest.â
Luo Xiaoxi checked the time and reminded Su Jianâan, âWe should go back to prepare the cake. Itâs not early.â
Su Jianâan thanked the staff of the club and went back to her villa with Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi.
When Xiyu and Xiangyi were not born yet, Su Jianâan liked to make small cakes or cookies in the kitchen, and they were much tastier than the food sold in the cake shops.
After the two babies were born, she was so busy that she forgot that she was still good at baking.
However, this did not affect her proficiency.
In the kitchen of the villaâ
Su Jianâan took out the baking tools, put on an apron, washed her hands, and began to make the cake.
She was swift, and soon the cake was ready.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at the plain cake and eagerly said, âJianâan, I want to try decorating the cake, which can be regarded as my contribution to the cake.â
âOkay.â Su Jianâan took out the tools and said, âGo wash your hands first.â
Luo Xiaoxi came back after washing up and took the tools. She was surprised and said, âTut-tut, Jianâan, I didnât expect you to be so confident in me. In fact, I donât even have much confidence in myself...â
âYou... think too much,â Su Jianâan said. âI just feel that no matter how terrible your decoration will be, I can remedy it.â
â...â Luo Xiaoxi was so angry that she wanted to eat the cake.
Su Jianâan smiled and said, âLet me teach you. If we cooperate, the final product... should not be too bad.â
Xu Youning watched them on the side and suddenly remembered something. She said, âXiaoxi, you can ask Jianâan that question now.â
In the morning, Luo Xiaoxi had said that in the eyes of women, the most perfect man would always be someone elseâs husband.
Xu Youning felt that Su Jianâan might not think so, so she threw this question to Su Jianâan. âWhat do you think?â
Su Jianâan compressed her lips and blurted out without thinking, âMy husband is the best!â She looked like a top fan of Lu Boyan.
Only then did Luo Xiaoxi remember that Su Jianâan had been obsessed with Lu Boyan since she was ten. In her eyes, no one in the world could be better than Lu Boyan!
Luo Xiaoxi chose to change the topic. âHey, how should I use the tool?â
Su Jianâan asked Xu Youning, âDo you want to help?â
âOkay.â
Xu Youning had nothing to do, so she simply joined them.
Su Jianâan took out a spare apron and put it on Xu Youning, and then she instructed Luo Xiaoxi and Xu Youning to decorate the cake.
The three of them were busy with it for a few hours. After Su Jianâan improved it several times, the cake was finally ready.
Su Jianâan took off her apron and placed the cake in the refrigerator, saying, âI wonder if Aunt Zhou has prepared the food.â
âIâll go back to have a look.â
Xu Youning didnât have time to wash her hands, and she went back to the villa next door. Seeing her, the staff of the club said politely, âMiss Xu, everything is ready. Would you like to have a look?â
âNo, I believe you. Thank you for your hard work.â Xu Youning looked around the kitchen and didnât find Aunt Zhou. Then she asked, âDid you see Aunt Zhou come back?â
âAunt Zhou?â The staff shook their heads and said, âNo.â
Xu Youning roughly calculated the time. It had been four or five hours since Aunt Zhou left the top of the mountain. Even if Aunt Zhou bought half of the market, it was time for her to come back.
Could it be that something unexpected has happened?
Xu Youning touched her pocket and remembered that she had left her phone in Su Jianâanâs house. She ran over, picked up her phone, and dialed Aunt Zhouâs number.
There was no answer.
Aunt Zhou had always answered the phone.
Xu Youning panicked and ran into the kitchen with her phone. âJianâan, where is Sijue?â
âSijue and Boyan are talking about matters in the club.â Su Jianâan noticed that something was wrong with Xu Youning, so she couldnât help asking, âWhatâs wrong?â
âAunt Zhou hasnât come back yet, and she is not answering the phone either.â Xu Youningâs heart beat fast and uneasily. âIâm afraid something has happened to her...â
âDonât panic.â Su Jianâan dried her hands and took out her mobile phone from her pocket. âIâll call Yunyun. Maybe she and Aunt Zhou are on their way here.â
Just as Su Jianâan was about to dial, her phone rang. It was a call from Yunyun.
She was startled, and her heart also suddenly beat fast. An ominous feeling spread from the bottom of her heart...
If Yunyun and Aunt Zhou were on their way here, why would Yunyun call her?
However, if Yunyun and Aunt Zhou hadnât come back now...
Su Jianâan stopped herself from thinking furtherâ
She would rather be disturbed by Xiao Yunyun, who was so bored on the road.
