Bai Zhou was a bit depressed. "Yeah, I'll continue. My mission this time is a bit difficult. Meng Yuan-jie isn't here, otherwise I could ask her for help."
Mo Zhe smiled. "That's simple, just go find your sister."
"Simple what? Sister is so busy. Never mind, I'll just try harder and aim to finish the mission within an hour." Bai Zhou said, then sat down to continue her task.
Mo Zhe also had a mission, so he didn't say anything more.
Mu Jiu Chen walked out and scanned the bustling street.
Then he heard a faint voice from behind, "Master, are you looking for me?"
Mu Jiu Chen turned sharply and saw his own little padded jacket with her arms crossed, looking up at him angrily.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." This little padded jacket's expression seemed a bit... off?
"Yun Yun." Mu Jiu Chen looked excitedly at his daughter's beautiful little face, her large eyes as beautiful as her mother's, her skin porcelain white and delicate, even better than that of ordinary children.
Jiang Si Yun's clear, watery eyes instantly filled with tears. "Hmph! So you knew about me all along, didn't you?"
Mu Jiu Chen nodded slightly. "Yun Yun, you know too?"
Mu Jiu Chen was a little worried about the little girl, she looked very sad and was about to cry.
"I overheard Older Brother and Second Brother arguing just now. I always thought we really didn't have a father." Her ethereal voice was laced with deep resentment, choked with sobs that made one's heart ache.
Mu Jiu Chen felt his heart bleeding, each drop thick and heavy, falling into his heart with great pain, as if a knife were slicing his heart. He, who had never felt emotion, had never experienced such pain.
"I'm sorry, Yun Yun, Dad came too late." Besides apologizing, he knew all other explanations were pale and weak.
Jiang Si Yun bit her pink lips. Upon hearing the apology, her gloom seemed to dissipate.
Although she didn't know the story between him and her mother, she finally knew what her father looked like.
"Older Brother, Second Brother, you look so much like them. But Mother can't tell." It was a shame that Mother had known this Master Jiu long ago, yet never realized they looked so alike.
Mu Jiu Chen gave a bitter smile. "Yes, your mother doesn't even bother to look at me properly."
Xiao Fan, upon hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief. If it were Master Jiu's sharp-tongued nature, he would have surely retorted, "Yes, your mother is blind."
Jiang Si Yun smiled and said, "It's okay. I always wanted to know what my father looked like. I asked my mother if she hated my father, and my mother said no. Meeting him was fate, and she even thanked my father for giving her three brilliant treasures."
Jiang Si Yun's tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls. Despite saying it was okay, she was very sad.
She had found out who her father was in this way. Fortunately, it was the famous Mu Jiu Chen, not some old pervert. Her three siblings all knew about their mother's past experiences.
Mu Jiu Chen did not stop her from crying. It must be difficult for the children to have a father who had never appeared suddenly showing up so shamelessly.
Jiang Nuan also didn't know that the man from back then was him, and he knew about her because he had been paying attention to her life.
He had just returned to the country not long ago and already had her photo. He had planned to find her after she went to college, but before he could get to know her, she had an accident.
Although their interactions were few, Jiang Nuan's existence had accompanied him throughout his youth.
"I'm done crying, you can go back now." Jiang Si Yun smiled and wiped her tears, even thoughtfully reminding Mu Jiu Chen that she didn't need comfort.
Mu Jiu Chen crouched down, a little amused, his fingertips gently wiping away the tears on her little face, his voice very gentle. "But your tears are still falling. How about Dad takes you to buy a doll?"
"No. Five years of paternal love is missing, and you think a doll can repay that?"
However, Jiang Si Yun truly stopped crying. So, her dad knew she liked dolls.
"No, Dad will make up for it with the rest of his life." Mu Jiu Chen wasn't very good at saying emotional things, nor had he interacted with children before.
In his eyes, children just liked snacks and running around, as long as they were happy.
In fact, he believed children were like uncarved jade, needing careful sculpting from a young age.
Xiao Fan was truly jealous. Here was another little padded jacket. Mu Jiu Chen's life was truly a legend!
However, the family behind Master Jiu was a big problem. The Mu family in Jinshi was the foremost aristocratic family there.
But Jiang Nuan wasn't afraid. Her two sons and one daughter could walk all over the Mu family.
This news would surely make the old man ecstatic.
Rong Yin returned again, carrying two pots of anthuriums. He wore a red shirt and red trousers, dazzlingly eye-catching. His collar was slightly open, revealing a trace of untamable wildness.
Xiao Fan had never seen a man wear red so beautifully.
To call Rong Yin beautiful was no exaggeration.
Of course, he also hadn't expected to meet Mu Jiu Chen like this.
In contrast, Mu Jiu Chen wore a black shirt and black trousers. His upright posture exuded a cool and domineering aura, forming a stark contrast with Rong Yin's allure.
One was steady and domineering, the other flamboyant and unrestrained.
"Master Jiu, a pleasure!" Rong Yin greeted with a smile, his charming peach blossom eyes holding an imperceptible hint of provocation.
Mu Jiu Chen was very perceptive, how could he not see Rong Yin's provocation?
"Young Master Rong, a pleasure!" His deep voice was extremely penetrating, striking directly at Rong Yin's heart.
Rong Yin harbored hostility towards Mu Jiu Chen because he was approaching Jiang Nuan. The current Jiang Nuan was like his marked property, not to be coveted by anyone, not even Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen's hostility towards Rong Yin stemmed from the strong repulsion between men.
But when both were entangled with the same woman, this homosexual effect would become very pronounced.
"Then I'll go in and see Nuan Nuan first." Rong Yin said with a smile as he entered.
He kept looking at Mu Jiu Chen and did not notice Jiang Si Yun behind him.
Jiang Si Yun asked leisurely, "Who is he, and why does he want to see my Mommy?"
Mu Jiu Chen slowly rolled up his sleeves and looked down at his daughter. "Darling, do you trust your second brother?"
He remembered that Little Koi had said his words were very accurate.
Jiang Si Yun nodded vigorously. "My second brother's words are very accurate. Aunt Meng said he is our family's Little Koi."
"Is that so? Your second brother said I would win over your mother, it's just a matter of time. Your mother was as beautiful and kind as you when she was little. Dad liked her very much. Dad also hopes our family can be together sooner." Mu Jiu Chen tried to make his tone gentle. He wanted to be an affectionate father to his little padded jacket.
"Wow, then I'll help you chase Mommy." Jiang Si Yun winked at her father, suddenly feeling that this dad wasn't too bad. He hadn't abandoned her mother and wanted to be with her. She would help one hundred percent, but... the person who just went in was also very handsome.
