Although Zhang Xiao did not go into detail about those few years, Lu Yong Chun could guess that Zhang Xiao had suffered a lot during those years. She asked with both sympathy and heartache, "Your father doesn't care about you at all?"
"Who cares?" Zhang Xiao laughed coldly, her hatred for her father flowing out, "In his eyes, there is only his wife, and only his son. She divorced my mother because he forced my mother. My stepmother told me that he didn't love my mother at all, but that it was my grandparents who forced him to marry my mother. My grandparents felt that my mother was suitable to be a wife, and my stepmother was suitable to be a lover."
After her grandparents died in succession, her parents divorced.
Perhaps it was because of that reason that Ling Hong Yu hated her mother so much, and after her mother passed on, she would transfer that hatred onto her.
It was her mother who was too foolish and deeply loved her father. She thought that she could cultivate such feelings, but in the end, it ended with her getting a divorce.
"He obviously doesn't love me, and he also didn't let my mom take me away, but now... Yongchun, I do not wish to bring up the matters of the past." Every time he mentioned it, he would feel sad.
Lu Yong Chun embraced her shoulder and said with a pained heart: "Alright, I won't ask you this question in the future. I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me speaking too much, I wouldn't have dug out your sorrows. Zhang Xiao, in the future, let me properly love you. Come and follow me, even if you don't want to be my son, being my assistant is still better than being someone's nanny."
Zhang Xiao smiled as she thanked him. She really liked Lu Yong Chun a lot, which was why she couldn't help but talk about her sorrows from the past.
"I really like Mu Ya. The first time I saw her, she called me Mama, and my heart softened into a puddle of spring water. Later, when I was leaving, she cried out for my mother, touching my heart, and I remembered being separated from my mother when I was a child. The reason why I agreed to be Mu Ya's nanny, wasn't because of the payment that Mr. Mou gave me. It was mainly because Mu Ya reminded me of my memories, so I felt that I and Mu Ya were both pitiful people. I have already grown up, Mu Ya is still young. Since we were fated to meet, I will do my best to let her grow up healthy and happy."
Lu Yong Chun looked at the girl beside him deeply.
"Knock knock."
Someone knocked on the door.
The two girls' conversation stopped immediately. Lu Yong Chun stood up, "I'm going to open the door."
Zhang Xiao nodded, then lowered her eyes and looked at Mu Ya who was in her embrace once again. Mu Ya drank the milk powder, then fell asleep as she drank.
Many children are used to this, holding the bottle of milk while sucking on it while sleeping.
Gently, Zhang Xiao took the bottle away from Mu Ya's hands. Mu Ya was startled for a moment, but she quickly soothed him with her soft voice.
After placing the bottle on the tea table, Zhang Xiao carefully supported Mu Ya's small body. The child had just finished drinking her milk, so he shouldn't let her sleep on the ground, as it would be easy for her to choke on her milk.
When Mu Chen came in, what he saw was a warm and cozy scene.
His face was still taut, his black pearl eyes unfathomable.
"Mu Ya is asleep." Mu Chen walked over and stood in front of the sofa without sitting down, looking down at Zhang Xiao and her sleeping daughter from above.
Shen Ying Er followed Mu Chen upstairs, but when Lu Yong Chun saw her, she couldn't help but frown. Out of courtesy, she did not block Shen Ying Er from the door.
"Yes."
Zhang Xiao acknowledged her presence and asked: "Mr. Mou, since Mu Ya is already asleep, can I send her back first?"
Before Mu Chen could reply, Shen Ying Er interrupted, "The child is already asleep, of course we have to send him back." She really wished for Zhang Xiao to disappear immediately, so that Mu Chen wouldn't think about her daughter anymore, and that he wouldn't have any interactions with her.
It would be good if she could dominate Mu Chen for an entire night.
This way, she could have wine with Mu Chen for whatever reason. As long as she was able to cook the cooked rice, with her identity as a Second Miss of the Shen family, Mu Chen would never be able to let her go, he had to take responsibility for her.
Turning his head, Mu Chen glared at Shen Ying Er coldly. Shen Ying Er pouted his lips that were painted with lipstick, feeling annoyed but could not say anything more.
"Pack your things and go home."
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the bottle that was placed on the table, and asked Lu Yong Chun: "Do you mind if I clean my daughter's bottle in your washroom?"
Lu Yong Chun laughed: Alright, I'll give you a few minutes.
Mu Chen thanked her and took the bottle into the washroom. He poured the milk out of his daughter's bowl and washed the bottle clean. A few minutes later, he walked out with the clean bottle and returned to Zhang Xiao. He bent down to pick up the bag and placed the bottle of milk into it.
Zhang Xiao shook her head, "Not now."
Mu Chen didn't question anymore. He took a few tissue and wiped the water droplets on the sides of the bottle clean before putting it into the bag. Then, he handed the bag over to Zhang Xiao and said coldly: "Mu Ya, let me carry him."
"I'm afraid that you will wake up if you carry her. It's better that I carry her." Zhang Xiao said as she hugged Mu Ya and stood up.
Seeing the two of them acting like an ordinary couple, Shen Ying Er felt jealousy and envy.
"Let's go." Mu Chen did not force himself to carry her sleeping daughter, and indifferently indicated for Zhang Xiao to carry his daughter and leave first. He then said to Lu Yong Chun: "Yongchun, Mu Ya is asleep. I'll take her home first."
Lu Yong Chun smiled, "Alright, I know I won't be able to keep you."
Mu Chen pursed his lips and did not speak.
"Big Brother Chen, it's still early. Are you going back? When Mu Ya falls asleep, let Zhang Xiao bring the child back." Shen Ying Er said reluctantly, trying his best to persuade Mu Chen to stay.
Lu Yong Chun did not even open her mouth to ask Mu Chen to stay, so how could Shen Ying Er keep him?
Shen Ying Er was anxious and helpless. No matter what she said, the Big Brother Chen would not pay attention to her.
"Yongchun."
After walking out of Yongchun's room, Mu Chen suddenly called out to his. When Lu Yong Chun stopped to look at her, he said in a low voice: "There is something I need your help with."
Lu Yong Chun replied with an "oh", showing her curiosity.
Mu Chen signalled for her to turn back, and when she returned in front of him, he bent down slightly and whispered something into her ear. Lu Yong Chun's face was filled with suspicions, but she still nodded.
Shen Ying Er tried his best to listen to what Mu Chen had to say, but he couldn't.
If she didn't know that Lu Yong Chun didn't have any interest in the three Mu Family brothers, she would have thought of Lu Yong Chun as her number one rival.
"Ying'er, do me a favor." Lu Yong Chun walked in front of Shen Ying Er and pulled him along without any explanation. Shen Ying Er asked her what he wanted to help and kept turning his head to look at Mu Chen.
