The car stopped in front of a large hotel, and Zhang Xiao recognized the hotel, it was the place where she and Mu Chen had signed the agreement at, Dragon Court Hotel.Zhang Xiao looked at Dragon Court Hotel and asked: Are you not going home?
"I have an important meeting this afternoon, and if I go home for dinner, I will be very nervous about it. After eating here, I can take a short break of twenty minutes. " Mu Chen rubbed his brows, he was a little tired. But when he put down the fingers that were rubbing his brow, he was glowing again.
Some of the social events can be pushed away. I just returned home in the middle of the night and went to work again at dawn. I thought I was made of iron and would rust if I were made of iron." Zhang Xiao knew how busy these people were. Like her father, they had endless things to do throughout the day. "Either it"s a meeting or it"s a project, or you have to go on a business trip for a variety of social events, especially when you have major business with a foreign subsidiary.
Mu Chen got off the car and threw a sentence back at Zhang Xiao, "You don"t have to worry about it. The person you should care about is Mu Ya.
Zhang Xiao curled her lips. She had done her job well, who would care about him? She carried Mu Ya and followed him out of the car. They headed towards the hotel as if it was nothing important.
The two of them brought Mu Ya to eat. It wasn"t a family of three, but a family of three.
Mu Ya wanted to eat porridge, so Mu Chen specially helped her daughter eat porridge. Zhang Xiao had to feed Mu Ya first. Perhaps it was because she was not used to eating, but Mu Ya kept spitting out the congee. No matter how Zhang Xiao coaxed her, she just shook her head and did not want to eat it.
Zhang Xiao tried the taste and felt that it was alright, but she refused to eat it.
Mu Chen glanced at Zhang Xiao and said: "Mu Ya is used to the taste of the house, so she doesn"t like to eat outside."
Hearing that, Zhang Xiao immediately glared at him. He said those words not only as a matter of course, but even though Mu Ya refused to eat the porridge even when he was hungry, he actually ate with a peaceful heart. Zhang Xiao was inexplicably angry and her tone became even worse as she questioned, "Mr. Mou, do you know that Mu Ya does not eat anything outside? Then why did you bring us here? You should have let me bring Mu Ya straight back home, did you do this on purpose? Look at you, Mu Ya is starving, yet you are eating well and feeling at ease, what kind of person would you be if you were a father? "
Mu Chen opened his mouth wanting to refute her, but he realized that he couldn"t say a word. Just like that, he was scolded by Zhang Xiao, and the scolding made him want to find a hole to hide in.
Zhang Xiao was really angry, she threw the spoon back into the bowl heavily, the porridge all over Mu Chen"s black suit.
Standing up, she picked Mu Ya up, kicked away the chair, and left angrily.
Mu Chen hurriedly stood up and was about to chase after her.
Zhang Xiao suddenly turned her head and said sarcastically, "What you eat, eat well until you rest, and take care of your own company all day, what"s the use of earning so much money? Children are more important than money! It"s fine if you don"t have time to accompany your daughter, but since you didn"t even consider such a small matter for her sake, and only considered your own stomach, no wonder Mu Ya didn"t get close to you, you deserved it! "
After Zhang Xiao finished cursing, she carried Mu Ya and left.
Mu Chen did not chase after him. Instead, he immediately called his driver and his bodyguards, instructing them to send Zhang Xiao home after she left. In fact, Aunt Lan and the others had always been following him.
Turning around, Mu Chen quickly walked to the window. Standing in front of the window, he could see Zhang Xiao.
The place he was standing was very far from the ground, and with his eyesight and familiarity with Zhang Xiao"s figure, he still easily locked onto his target. He stood in front of the window and watched as Zhang Xiao carried His daughter but did not get on his car. Instead, she got into another car and left with Aunt Lan.
After a long while, Mu Chen finally retracted his gaze and returned to the dining table, but he had lost his appet.i.te. He began to think about whether he had really failed as a father.
He knew that Mu Ya was used to the porridge cooked by his family"s chef. If it was someone else, Mu Ya would rarely show him face. He actually thought that with Zhang Xiao here, he might be able to let her daughter have a meal, and he really didn"t have much time to go home and eat. Subconsciously, his first thought was his job, his time, not her daughter.
He loved her daughter, and he did not need to question himself for that. He should have refuted Zhang Xiao just now, but she had suddenly gotten angry and scolded him until her head was soaked in dog blood. She wouldn"t even be able to refute him now.
However, it was a fact that her daughter was not close to him. Ever since Ning Tong died, he had not taken good care of her daughter for almost a year, nor had he ever accompanied her properly.
Even though she had grown up by another year, in the past year, what accompanied Mu Ya were the constantly changing nanny, drivers, bodyguards, and many other people who were not related to Mu Ya by blood. He, who was related to her by blood, could only keep her company for a short amount of time.
What right did he have to ask his daughter to be close to him?
If one were to say that Mu Ya initially thought of Zhang Xiao as her mother, it was because sshe felt that Zhang Xiao"s outer appearance was extremely sweet, similar to her mother, Ning Tong. Now that Mu Ya was sticking to Zhang Xiao, he kept calling him mother. It was no longer just looking at her appearance or fate, but also the feelings Zhang Xiao had for him. Everyone said that the child"s heart was the purest. Mu Ya would never use words to express it, but she could feel who was the best for her and who wasn"t good for her. It was on the surface who loved her.
His face instantly turned red.
Mu Chen guiltily shocked that in his daughter"s heart, his love was only on the surface.
For children, what could be more worthy of their parents" company, their parents" true love?
What song was that? He remembered that there was a line of lyrics: If you love me, then accompany me more. If you love me, then hug me!
His love for his daughter was indeed not up to standard.
Mu Chen ruffled his hair with his hands. It was the first time that he had reflected on how unqualified he had been as a father.
On the way back to the Mu Family, Zhang Xiao was still fuming.
Aunt Lan thought that she and Mu Chen were having energy, so she kindly advised: "Miss Zhang, although Young Miss cannot leave you, you shouldn"t keep fighting with him right? Third Young Master is extremely busy to begin with, so you should take care of him so that he can work in peace. Furthermore, as nanny, we can"t go against the master, it would be bad for us. "
"Aunt Lan, he clearly knew that Mu Ya wasn"t used to eating outside, yet he still brought us here to eat. How could he have any sense of fatherhood? The company was important, the work was important, but Mu Ya was not? Or was he just trying to see how Mu Ya was going to beat me up? When we"re in the hospital, can"t you just let us go back? "
Aunt Lan was a little speechless. After thinking about it, she tried to defend Mu Chen: "Third Young Master probably thought that you could feed Young Miss porridge. Young Miss is my life, how can I not feel sorry for you? "
Mu Ya didn"t say anything, she just hugged Mu Ya tightly. Mu Ya didn"t know what happened, she only knew that her mother was angry and she was very obedient. She snuggled into her mother"s embrace, and used her small hands to grab onto her mother"s clothes.
