In this month, the people Zhang Xiao saw the most were Ning Zhi Yuan and Lu Yong Chun. She was curious why Lu Yong Chun would come every time Ning Zhi Yuan came.
She thought that Lu Yong Chun had protected her and did not want Ning Zhi Yuan to bully her like in the past. She felt extremely grateful towards Lu Yong Chun from the bottom of her heart. Although they hadn't agreed to Lu Yong Chun's model's request yet, the two of them had already become good friends that could talk about anything.
The amiable Zhang Xiao and Yang Xi had become friends. From Yang Xi, she found out that the Zhong Family was a family with an extremely good background, that the Zhong Family had retired from the education platform in the last twenty years and had invested in the school instead. Yang Xi's husband managed several kindergartens, and Yang Xi's parents-in-law managed several technical academies. Although the family background was not as great as the Mu Family's, it was still very rich.
After recuperating at home for a month, Ye Qing's foot injuries had completely recovered and she could now walk normally.
Tomorrow is Saturday. After Zhang Xiao and Ye Qing finished discussing, the two of them would set up a new business tomorrow night.
Yi Xiu Jie would go to Zhang Xiao's apartment every day, but Ye Qing was still extremely mad at him. He had no choice but to block him outside of the door.
8 PM.
"Mom, kiss me."
Mu Ya who was carried by Zhang Xiao onto the bed patted her cheeks and asked Zhang Xiao to kiss her. Her mother called it a good night kiss. She was going to sleep now, and she was going to ask her mother for a good night kiss.
After another month of training from Zhang Xiao, the current Mu Ya already knew how to say a lot of things. However, she still could not say a lot of things.
Zhang Xiao smiled and bent down, gently kissed Mu Ya's pretty and white tender cheeks before turning her face to let Mu Ya kiss her too. Mu Ya immediately hugged her neck and kissed her back.
"Mu Ya, good night."
Zhang Xiao sat upright, but her hands still rested on Mu Ya's head. She lovingly helped her comb her slightly long hair. Mu Ya was a girl, so she planned to help Mu Ya leave his hair. In any case, she would have time to help Mu Ya comb his hair during the day.
"Mom, Ann."
Mu Ya said sweetly to Zhang Xiao.
"Go to sleep."
Zhang Xiao gazed at her softly, gently telling her to close her eyes and sleep.
Mu Ya very obediently closed her eyes, but she was worried that Zhang Xiao would walk away, so she reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiao's hand. She felt that as long as she held her mother's hand, her mother wouldn't be able to leave while she was asleep.
Looking at the small hand that was holding onto him, Zhang Xiao's expression became even more gentle as she watched Mu Ya closing her eyes. Mu Ya felt very relieved when she felt the pampering that came from Zhang Xiao.
Very quickly, Mu Ya fell asleep.
She grabbed onto Zhang Xiao's little hand and slowly let go.
After making sure that she was sleeping, Zhang Xiao bent down once again and placed a gentle kiss on her tender cheeks. She said softly, "Mu Ya, good night.
Mu Ya slept soundly.
Zhang Xiao helped her pull her quilt, then took the remote control for the air-conditioner to adjust the time. It was almost autumn, and by the second half of the night, there was no more heat waves, so she did not need to turn on the air conditioner.
After switching on the air-conditioning to set the time, Zhang Xiao then slowly walked out of Mu Ya's room.
Aunt Lan was waiting at the door of the room. When she saw Zhang Xiao coming out, she asked him softly, "Has Young Miss slept yet?"
Zhang Xiao nodded and replied, "I just slept. Aunt Lan, I have turned on the air-conditioning to set the time limit. Later that night, you must remember to help Mu Ya open the window, this way the air currents in the room won't be too stuffy."
Aunt Lan nodded: "Miss Zhang, don't worry, I will."
Having known each other for almost two months, Aunt Lan still called him Miss Zhang. Zhang Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt Lan, you can call me Zhang Xiao.
Aunt Lan also laughed, "I'm used to it, I can't change my mind right now."
The two of them spoke as they walked down the stairs.
"Does Mr. Mou come back very late everyday?"
Zhang Xiao casually asked.
She had not seen Mu Chen for a month.
When Mu Chen had something to instruct her, she could either make a call, send a message, or pass it to him through the Aunt Lan.
Because Mu Chen left early and returned late, at the same time that he avoided Zhang Xiao, it also increased the distance between him and her daughter, Mu Ya, which had finally improved a little. As a result, Mu Ya now ignored him and would call him daddy, but rarely called him father.
Aunt Lan replied, "Third Young Master is very busy."
Zhang Xiao muttered: "All my previous efforts were for naught, I finally managed to persuade him to spend more time with Mu Ya, but he only accompanied the child for a weekend, and now she has returned to her original form."
The Aunt Lan had always been protecting the owner. She explained for Mu Chen: "The Third Young Master isn't the Eldest Young Master. He just took over the company for more than a year. Every night, when he comes back, no matter how late, he would sit in Young Miss's room for half an hour. Every morning, when he woke up, he would go and visit Young Miss first, and as it is related to Young Miss, no matter how small it is, he would always ask about it."
It was just that he did not ask Zhang Xiao.
"I just don't believe that he won't be able to squeeze in a bit of time to accompany Mu Ya. Mu Ya will say a lot of things now, but will rarely call him father, why? It's because her father rarely accompanied her, and her world is almost entirely occupied by us nanny. Zhang Xiao pained him the most when she was at the age where she needed her parents' company the most.
He had thought that she would be able to improve the relationship between Mu Chen and his daughter, but she managed to return back to where she started after working hard for a while.
She didn't want Mu Ya to be like her, unable to feel the love of a father during his growing years, and unable to see the relationship between father and daughter in the future.
Zhang Xiao felt that she could no longer allow Mu Chen to continue like this. In order to avoid encountering him face-to-face, Mu Ya was unable to enjoy his fatherly love. She decided to break the deadlock between them and had a talk with Mu Chen.
He had been given a month's time. Could it be that he wouldn't be able to face it?
She was also Zhang Hao Tian's own daughter. No matter how conflicted Mu Chen was, it was a fact that could not be wiped away, a situation that could not be changed. Since this was the case, he might as well just calmly face it.
Zhang Xiao himself was calmly facing it.
How would she know that the reason why Mu Chen kept his distance from her and hadn't faced her for a month was to stop his restless heart and not to fall in love with her.
His heart was filled with Ning Tong, even though his lover had passed away, he was still unwilling to betray the feelings of the two.
However, Zhang Xiao was like a magnet, as long as he approached her, she would attract him, and she would stick to her, unable to leave.
