Chapter 874 Be Missing and Be in Trouble (1)
Hearing Su Jian’an’s voice, Mumu jumped over excitedly. “Sister Yunyun, shall we go back now?”
“It’s still early.” Xiao Yunyun patiently explained to Mumu, “After lunch, Granny Zhou will go to buy ingredients. After she finishes it, we will go back with her!”
Mumu’s eyes darkened. He pursed his lips and compromised. “Okay, then I’ll wait a little longer…”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t ignore the little boy’s disappointment. She pinched his face and asked, “Do you want to go back now?”
“…” Mumu blinked his eyes, and there was still a trace of expectation to go back in his eyes. He didn’t deny Xiao Yunyun’s words.
Xiao Yunyun thought it was funny. She carefully looked at the little boy and asked deliberately, “Mumu, who are you missing? Auntie Youning?”
Mumu, who was very honest, fell into the trap and shook his head in denial. “No!”
“Oh—” Xiao Yunyun drawled. Then she said with certainty, “Then you must be missing the babies.”
Mumu didn’t expect that his thoughts would be seen through. He covered his face with both hands so that Xiao Yunyun couldn’t see his shyness, but he peeked at Xiao Yunyun through the gap between his fingers. The latter was laughing mischievously.
Xiao Yunyun rubbed the little boy’s head and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll have lunch and take a nap. Then we’ll go back together.”
Mumu glanced at Shen Yuechuan. “Will Uncle Yuechuan go with us?”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t reply, and she deliberately asked, “Do you want Uncle Yuechuan to go with us?”
Mumu thought about it and shook his head decisively. “No!”
Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes. The little boy actually wanted to get rid of him and have Xiao Yunyun all to himself?
The kid couldn’t know that he had ten thousand ways to make the kid pester him for going back with them.
Xiao Yunyun signaled Shen Yuechuan to calm down and asked Mumu patiently, “Why don’t you want Uncle Yuechuan to go with us?”
Mumu looked conflicted and couldn’t say a word for a long time. Finally, he fluently explained in English, “Auntie Youning said that the sick should stay in the hospital and mustn’t run around. Do you still remember that Uncle Yuechuan fainted when he ran around last time?”
He was talking about the last time when Shen Yuechuan had fainted at the top of the mountain.
Xiao Yunyun was amused by the little boy’s description and said, “So, you said it for the sake of Uncle Yuechuan?”
Mumu pouted and looked as if he didn’t want to admit it, but it was true.
Xiao Yunyun looked at Mumu and then at Shen Yuechuan. She came to a conclusion. “You’re both difficult to deal with.”
The two people, who were not easy to deal with, did not say anything. The older one turned on the computer and read the doc.u.ments, while the younger one held Xiao Yunyun’s hand and said, “Sister Yunyun, let’s continue to play games.”
“Okay!”
Xiao Yunyun and Mumu sat on the carpet and continued the unfinished fight just now.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and it was time for lunch.
Tang Yulan called Shen Yuechuan and said, “Yuechuan, I won’t send you lunch at noon today. Mrs. Tang and I are playing cards. How about you ask the hotel to send the lunch there?”
Some time ago, someone told Su Yunjin that there was an excellent brain surgeon in Switzerland. Su Yunjin immediately took Shen Yuechuan’s medical record to Switzerland.
In addition, since Su Jian’an was living at the top of the mountain, it was inconvenient for her to prepare meals for them, so Tang Yulan was responsible for sending meals to Shen Yuechuan.
However, Tang Yulan was a big fan of mahjong. Shen Yuechuan could completely understand that Tang Yulan would ignore him because of playing mahjong. He smiled and said, “Don’t bother. I’ll eat in the hospital restaurant.”
“Yeah, you can eat wherever you like. I’ll send you dinner in the afternoon.” Tang Yulan’s voice was accompanied by the sound of playing mahjong. “Now, I’ll play mahjong first.”
“Okay.”
Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and took away the iPad. “Let’s go downstairs for lunch.”
Xiao Yunyun was hungry, so she pulled Mumu up and said, “Let’s go and eat something tasty.”
Mumu obediently followed Xiao Yunyun and hopped all the way. The three of them soon arrived at the restaurant.
The hospital restaurant was built according to the star-rating system. Even from the most inconspicuous corner, it didn’t look like a hospital restaurant.
The only difference between it and the restaurants of the same rank was that it pursued natural and healthy food.
The waiter served the menu, and Shen Yuechuan handed it directly to Xu Youning and Mumu.
Mumu blinked and said, “Sir, don’t you want to order?”
Shen Yuechuan said, “I’ll leave it to you. You can order whatever you want.” He could only do this for Mumu at most.
If he did more, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted to this little boy in the future.
Mumu replied with an “oh”, ordered two dishes, and pushed the menu to Xiao Yunyun. “Sister Yunyun, it’s your turn.”
“Why don’t you order more?” Xiao Yunyun was confused. “Isn’t there anything else you like?”
Mumu held his chin with both hands and said, “I am afraid that I may order some dishes that you don’t like. If so, I can’t finish them alone…”
Xiao Yunyun had a better impression of Mumu. She touched the little boy’s head with a smile, ordered a few dishes that she and Shen Yuechuan both liked, and finally added another dish that Mumu liked.
The three of them had a quite good meal.
At the same time, at the top of the mountain, Su Jian’an and Xu Youning were very busy.
They had to decorate the house according to what they had decided and make it a house for a birthday celebration.
Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi were pregnant. Su Jian’an did not dare to let them do anything, so she asked Lu Boyan to send a few people to her.
Lu Boyan called some staff in the club over. They were young and strong, reliable and efficient.
Then, Su Jian’an was the director, while Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi were in charge of the final inspection and confirmation.
The group of people had been busy for the whole afternoon. The originally luxurious and elegant villa gradually became a world full of childishness, decorated with the elements of animations and games that Mumu liked.
At the last stage, the staff of the club said, “Mrs. Lu, leave the rest to us. You can have a rest.”
Luo Xiaoxi checked the time and reminded Su Jian’an, “We should go back to prepare the cake. It’s not early.”
Su Jian’an thanked the staff of the club and went back to her villa with Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi.
When Xiyu and Xiangyi were not born yet, Su Jian’an liked to make small cakes or cookies in the kitchen, and they were much tastier than the food sold in the cake shops.
After the two babies were born, she was so busy that she forgot that she was still good at baking.
However, this did not affect her proficiency.
In the kitchen of the villa—
Su Jian’an took out the baking tools, put on an ap.r.o.n, washed her hands, and began to make the cake.
She was swift, and soon the cake was ready.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at the plain cake and eagerly said, “Jian’an, I want to try decorating the cake, which can be regarded as my contribution to the cake.”
“Okay.” Su Jian’an took out the tools and said, “Go wash your hands first.”
Luo Xiaoxi came back after washing up and took the tools. She was surprised and said, “Tut-tut, Jian’an, I didn’t expect you to be so confident in me. In fact, I don’t even have much confidence in myself…”
“You… think too much,” Su Jian’an said. “I just feel that no matter how terrible your decoration will be, I can remedy it.”
“…” Luo Xiaoxi was so angry that she wanted to eat the cake.
Su Jian’an smiled and said, “Let me teach you. If we cooperate, the final product… should not be too bad.”
Xu Youning watched them on the side and suddenly remembered something. She said, “Xiaoxi, you can ask Jian’an that question now.”
In the morning, Luo Xiaoxi had said that in the eyes of women, the most perfect man would always be someone else’s husband.
Xu Youning felt that Su Jian’an might not think so, so she threw this question to Su Jian’an. “What do you think?”
Su Jian’an compressed her lips and blurted out without thinking, “My husband is the best!” She looked like a top fan of Lu Boyan.
Only then did Luo Xiaoxi remember that Su Jian’an had been obsessed with Lu Boyan since she was ten. In her eyes, no one in the world could be better than Lu Boyan!
Luo Xiaoxi chose to change the topic. “Hey, how should I use the tool?”
Su Jian’an asked Xu Youning, “Do you want to help?”
“Okay.”
Xu Youning had nothing to do, so she simply joined them.
Su Jian’an took out a spare ap.r.o.n and put it on Xu Youning, and then she instructed Luo Xiaoxi and Xu Youning to decorate the cake.
The three of them were busy with it for a few hours. After Su Jian’an improved it several times, the cake was finally ready.
Su Jian’an took off her ap.r.o.n and placed the cake in the refrigerator, saying, “I wonder if Aunt Zhou has prepared the food.”
“I’ll go back to have a look.”
Xu Youning didn’t have time to wash her hands, and she went back to the villa next door. Seeing her, the staff of the club said politely, “Miss Xu, everything is ready. Would you like to have a look?”
“No, I believe you. Thank you for your hard work.” Xu Youning looked around the kitchen and didn’t find Aunt Zhou. Then she asked, “Did you see Aunt Zhou come back?”
“Aunt Zhou?” The staff shook their heads and said, “No.”
Xu Youning roughly calculated the time. It had been four or five hours since Aunt Zhou left the top of the mountain. Even if Aunt Zhou bought half of the market, it was time for her to come back.
Could it be that something unexpected has happened?
Xu Youning touched her pocket and remembered that she had left her phone in Su Jian’an’s house. She ran over, picked up her phone, and dialed Aunt Zhou’s number.
There was no answer.
Aunt Zhou had always answered the phone.
Xu Youning panicked and ran into the kitchen with her phone. “Jian’an, where is Sijue?”
“Sijue and Boyan are talking about matters in the club.” Su Jian’an noticed that something was wrong with Xu Youning, so she couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”
“Aunt Zhou hasn’t come back yet, and she is not answering the phone either.” Xu Youning’s heart beat fast and uneasily. “I’m afraid something has happened to her…”
“Don’t panic.” Su Jian’an dried her hands and took out her mobile phone from her pocket. “I’ll call Yunyun. Maybe she and Aunt Zhou are on their way here.”
Just as Su Jian’an was about to dial, her phone rang. It was a call from Yunyun.
She was startled, and her heart also suddenly beat fast. An ominous feeling spread from the bottom of her heart…
If Yunyun and Aunt Zhou were on their way here, why would Yunyun call her?
However, if Yunyun and Aunt Zhou hadn’t come back now…
Su Jian’an stopped herself from thinking further—
She would rather be disturbed by Xiao Yunyun, who was so bored on the road.
