Chapter 767 - Returning To Shalnork (1)

After handing out the red packets to Joy, her relatives began to besiege Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin maintained a polite smile and joked around with a group of people. She listened to the flattery of these people. As for how much sincerity was contained in their words... it was a bald-faced, unspoken truth that everyone knew.

Fortunately, Zhao Youlin’s awkward situation did not last long. It was quickly resolved by Mu Tingfeng, as well as Mu Wanting who appeared in time, and her parents.

The former master of the Su family liked Mu Wanting very much. With this relationship, Mu Wanting’s parents naturally had a higher status in the Mu family than the others.

This family attracted everyone’s attention almost as soon as they appeared. Of course, part of the reason was because of Mu Wanting’s voice always paving the way before she entered people’s sights. It was also because this little girl had rushed up to Joy the moment she appeared and pulled him to ask all sorts of questions.

When the members of the Mu family saw that Mu Wanting and Joy were actually so close, they immediately had a certain understanding of Joy’s status in the Mu family.

After Mu Wanting arrived, the group of people tactfully changed their target and ran to talk to the former master and Mu Xiaoyang, leaving a few juniors to talk to Mu Tingfeng. Only then did Zhao Youlin get a temporary chance to catch her breath.

Mu Wanting had grown a little. She was wearing a bubble skirt and looked like a little princess. Unfortunately, the moment she opened her mouth, the image was all ruined.

“Joy, Joy, how have you been in kindergarten recently? Did anyone bully you? If anyone dares to bully you, tell me. I’ll definitely beat them up until their teeth fall out.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were speechless.

Mu Wanting’s parents were speechless.

The atmosphere between the few of them froze for a few seconds. Mu Wanting’s mom, Duan Huaixue, finally couldn’t help but laugh dryly twice and pulled Mu wanting back to her side. She said apologetically, “This little girl has been spoiled by us. She doesn’t have any manners. Sister-in-law, don’t mind her.”

The corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched. “How can that be? Wanting was saying that for Joy’s sake, hahaha...”

Although it was for Joy’s sake, could they choose a more gentler way? They were getting old and unruly!

Mu Wanting did not know how conflicted Zhao Youlin was at the moment. When she heard Zhao Youlin speak up for her, the little girl’s eyes lit up and she quickly climbed out of her mom’s arms, she said confidently, “Don’t worry, aunt. I will definitely protect Joy. I won’t let anyone bully him.”

Zhao Youlin’s expression stiffened up even further. She thought bitterly that Joy was a boy. If he was the one protecting you, what would you do for him? She had no choice but to put on a touched smile and said perfunctorily, “Wanting, you’re so good. You’re so obedient!”

Mu Wanting raised her eyebrows proudly and walked to Joy’s side once again. She held Joy’s hand and walked out.

Duan Huaixue was speechless.

“Joy, I’ll bring you out to play.”

“But mom...”

“Your mom and my mom have something to say. Children can’t listen to them.”

“Eh, how do you know you can’t listen?”

“Because dad always says that. Every time dad and mom start whispering t o each other, he would send me off somewhere else to play first and come back after they’re done. My dad and mom just came over. They must have something to whisper to your dad and mom.”

“Then do you know what they whispered?”

“I don’t know. One time, I hid behind the door to eavesdrop. I think I heard my dad say that he wanted mom to give him another baby.”

“Pfft...” Zhao Youlin and the others couldn’t help but burst into laughter when they heard this. They immediately understood what the little girl meant by whispering.

They all looked over with a half-smile on their faces, full of ridicule.

Duan Huaixue’s face turned even redder. She never thought that a child would say such a thing out loud. She immediately rolled her eyes at her husband in anger. It was all this guy’s fault for misguiding their child!

Mu Ruyao rubbed his nose. He felt that he had been wronged. God knew that he had already chased the child out to play, but this kid was still so smart. She actually went outside to eavesdrop!

Mu Wanting did not know that she had caused trouble at all. She was still smug, thinking that she had discovered some great secret.

However, Joy frowned and said seriously, “My mom already has a baby in her stomach. They probably won’t talk about that.”

“Who knows? That might mean when the baby will come out. Anyway, we don’t want to stay there. Let’s go out and play.”

“But...”

“But what? There are a lot of fun things outside, and a lot of delicious food. It’s much better than here.” Mu Wanting said, as she glanced at the children not far away with disdain.

Those naughty children had been spoiled by their families to the point of being lawless. They liked to bully new children the most. Joy had just arrived, and those people would definitely bully him. It was better for her to bring Joy out to play so that she would not see this group of annoying people.

“Food?” Joy was immediately swayed when she heard that there was food.

“Yes, yes. There’s a lot of delicious food outside. It’s even more sumptuous and delicious than the stuff here.”

“Then... Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. Son, is this how you’re going to get kidnapped?

Zhao Youlin looked at the two children who were holding hands and walking away with a worried look on her face.

Mu Tingfeng noticed her strange behavior and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Zhao Youlin sighed, “I’m just thinking. You and I don’t really care about food, so how did we give birth to such a foodie?”

In the future, the first requirement for finding a daughter-in-law was to know how to cook, but in this case, Zhao Youlin was more worried that her son would be kidnapped with the allure of anything delicious, just like that.

As if he had seen through Zhao Youlin’s thoughts, the corners of Mu Tingfeng’s lips curled up slightly and he said indifferently, “It’s a blessing to be able to eat. The Mu family wouldn’t be unable to support him.”

Was this a question of supporting him? Zhao Youlin raised her head and rolled her eyes at Mu Tingfeng, deciding not to tangle with him on this issue anymore.

“Let’s not talk about the child anymore.” Mu Ruyao and his wife seemed to have noticed the disagreement between the two of them and quickly changed the topic. They smiled and looked at Zhao Youlin’s obvious stomach. “I heard that you two are having a child again. I’m really sorry that I didn’t have the chance to come and see you before. Is it too late to say congratulations now?”

“Cousin, sister-in-law, you’re too kind. We’re already very happy that you’ve remembered us.”

As she spoke, Zhao Youlin took a deep look at Duan Huaixue’s belly and teased her. “Moreover, you must be busy giving birth to a sibling for Wanting. It’s understandable.”
