"You eat yours, I'll watch mine. It won't bother us, will it?" Shi Momo continued to lean on Feng Qishi's arm.
Feng Qishi's expression stiffened, and he put down his chopsticks. "Fine, you can hold on. I won't eat anymore."
"Good." Shi Momo, growing bolder, closed her eyes.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao entered the guest room with Uncle Chen.
"I'm here," Uncle Chen said, opening his mouth and laughing heartily. "Hello, everyone!"
Mu Anxiao looked helplessly at Uncle Chen's exaggerated greeting and lowered her head.
Feng Qishi was also surprised to see Mu Anxiao arrive.
Seeing Mu Anxiao standing behind Uncle Chen, Feng Mu's face instantly turned furious. "Why are you here?"
Mu Anxiao remained silent.
Uncle Chen glanced at Feng Mu and said, "This is my relative's daughter. What's your problem?"
Mu Anxiao still showed no reaction.
Shi Momo opened her eyes, released her grip on Feng Qishi's arm, stood up, walked around the chair, and approached Mu Anxiao. "You must be the friend Auntie mentioned, Qishi's friend."
"Yes," Mu Anxiao nodded.
The moment Mu Anxiao agreed, Feng Qishi's lips curved upwards with relief.
Uncle Chen glanced at Mu Anxiao and then stepped forward to sit beside Feng Ba.
Shi Momo's parents smiled politely at Uncle Chen and began asking questions about school.
Uncle Chen, for the moment, stopped paying attention to Mu Anxiao and started telling them about school matters.
Feng Qishi glanced at Uncle Chen, then stood up and walked towards Shi Momo and Mu Anxiao.
Feng Mu was about to get up, but Feng Ba winked at her.
Helplessly, Feng Mu abandoned the idea of mocking Mu Anxiao and sat back down, continuing to smile and entertain the guests.
"You're really quite unfashionable, little sister," Shi Momo said, intentionally mocking Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao met Shi Momo's gaze calmly and replied, "There's nothing unfashionable about me."
"Can you even smile?" Shi Momo leaned in, staring intently into Mu Anxiao's eyes.
Mu Anxiao met her gaze calmly and said, "I'm here to eat, not to argue with you. Please let me pass, thank you."
"I won't," Shi Momo said, widening her eyes with deliberate slyness.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Alright then, we'll see who lasts longer."
"You're here," Feng Qishi stopped beside Shi Momo and grinned at Mu Anxiao, "Master."
Mu Anxiao froze.
Then, everyone present collectively raised their faces in curiosity.
Mu Anxiao, unsure of what Feng Qishi was plotting now, could only play along and say, "Have you explained things to your mother?"
Feng Mu blinked in surprise and stood up. "What's going on?"
Feng Qishi tilted his eyes and said, "Master, you explain it."
Mu Anxiao had no intention of getting involved in Feng Qishi's affairs, but it was because of that phone call that she realized Shen Yan had not been living a good life in this lifetime. Therefore, to prevent him from suffering through hardship again, she presumptuously decided to help him find his birth mother before she left.
"Girl, please move aside," Mu Anxiao said coldly.
Seeing that Mu Anxiao was not her rival, Shi Momo readily cooperated and stepped aside.
Mu Anxiao adopted a stern demeanor, walked forward with one hand behind her back, and looked at the standing Feng Mu, saying, "To be honest, I'm hired by him. Of course, I am his teacher, and that money is for the lessons."
Uncle Chen chuckled softly upon hearing Mu Anxiao's words.
"What are you laughing at?" Feng Ba asked in a low voice.
"She's quite a character," Uncle Chen said, tilting his head towards Feng Ba.
