Prior to Mu Yazhe and Song Enya"s entrance to the room, the Song family arrived in quick succession .
Song Enxi was the Songs" most beloved treasure – a princess treated by them with utmost care . When they heard that she got hurt, Song Yunxi and Jiang Qimeng came hurrying over .
Song Enxi continued to wail scandalously in her ward . Noticing the arrival of her older brother and mother, her skill at acting coy became all the more apparent . She repeatedly threw a tantrum while in the arms of Jiang Qimeng; her face was already tear-stained and her eyes were even puffy .
It pained her to see the back of her daughter"s head shaved off . Although her wounds were st.i.tched up, they still appeared to be oozing with blood . Stricken with grief, her eyes were moistened .
Song Yunxi continued to comfort his sister from the side .
He loved his youngest sibling from the bottom of his heart . He had pampered and loved her to the best of his abilities from the moment she was born .
However, as he was usually busy with work, he could not pay attention to her all the time . Thus, the la.s.s did not appreciate his efforts to comfort her .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt Jiang Qimeng crooned at her as well, but just like with her brother, Song Enxi was not buying it .
They were truly at their wits" end .
Noticing Mu Yazhe"s arrival, Song Enxi wanted to escape from Jiang Qimeng"s clutches immediately . She spread her arms at him and acted coy . “Uncle Mu, hugs . Uncle Mu, hugs!”
Jiang Qimeng obviously resented him somewhat, but the Mus and the Songs were rather chummy; the two families had good rapport which had spanned for over ten decades . Thus, no matter how much she resented him inside, she still maintained a modest look on the outside . She should not make the situation too intolerable; otherwise, both sides would be embarra.s.sed . They ought to leave each other some face, at least .
Hence, she spoke politely, “Yazhe, you are here?”
“Mm, sis!” he greeted in return .
Song Yunxi greeted him a little unnaturally and hesitantly . “Uncle… Mu!”
“Mm . ” he replied, seemingly unaware of his nephew"s discomfort .
The two men were only four years apart with Mu Yazhe having a higher seniority to Song Yunxi . Calling the former "Uncle Mu" was truly a little awkward for the latter with his pride .
As soon as her mother"s attention was off her, Song Enxi jumped off her arms at once and snuggled herself into her uncle"s embrace .
Mu Yazhe was helpless at her actions and was forced to carry her up . At present, he had conflicting feelings regarding her .
He was more concerned about Yichen .
He kept waiting for his son"s call, yet after such a long time, he still received none from him . Was the little boy still mad at him?
While his thoughts were in a mess, the little girl, feeling a little disgruntled, grubbed deeper into his embrace . Clearly, she felt indignant and wanted him to comfort her .
However, as of now, he was not in the mood to deal with this la.s.s"s petulance .
She stared at his side-profile decadently . Indignation was written all over her face .
Jiang Qimeng appeared to be in somewhat of a discomfiture as she forced out a smile . “Just look at this girl! She"s already hurt, yet she"s still naughty . However, for some reason, she seems to love clinging to you!”
He stroked her head but said nothing in response .
Song Enya chimed in, “Exactly . Enxi loves Uncle Mu the most; am I right?”
The little girl immediately cheered . “Yup, yup! Enxi loves Uncle Mu the most! Enxi loves Uncle Mu the most!”
She proceeded to lean her head lovingly on the man"s chest .
The corner of his lips started to hang coldly . As his mind was elsewhere from the start, it should be expected for the situation to turn a little awkward now!
