Chapter 879: What A Coincidence!
After he calmed down, he said, "If you're done laughing, go and check up on Yue. No preferably, drag her out of her room and take her out to get some fresh air. She stays in her room every day working on the wedding dress. Neither does she pity her eyes nor her own fingers."
Mu Chenyan rubbed her chin and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, my sweet darling is being too much these days. Does she think I won't do anything?"
"Then do something," said Grandfather Xiang. "Now, stop spoiling my mood and disappear!"
"Oh," was all that she said and got up to leave. She turned back and took her glass of ice cubes. Well, there were no ice cubes left in it but she had to retrieve the glass and take it back. "Comrade Mu will accomplish the task, Sir!"
Grandfather Xiang let could a helpless laugh and waved her away. f(r)eewebnovel
Mu Chenyan happily ran off. She first left off the empty glass in the kitchen then she went upstairs to find Yue Yue. Lookinng at her still working attentively, Mu Chenyan felt frustrated.
"Yo, my Yue Yue! Get up! We're going out."
Yue Yue looked up and took off her spectacles as she gave Mu Chenyan a confused look.
"Don't look at me like I'm wasting your time," said Mu Chenyan. "It's about work."
'What work?'
"How can you forget that we started a clothing brand together?"
'You said my job is just being the beautiful head designer of the company who can create beautiful designs. The rest is your responsibility.'
Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at her, "I know I know. I don't have amnesia. I remember what I said to you. And see, I stick by my words. Did I disturb you during this time? I found the factory, workers, management, sales channel, partners, shops, publicity, etc etc. I worked out everything on my own. But today is different. We are opening three outlets in the city. We can ignore other outlets in other cities but not here. Especially the one store that I have decided to be our base. It's in the shopping plaza close to our villa." She took a breath and continued, "So, get dressed and come down. We're checking up on the store."
'Do I have to?' asked Yue Yue.
"If you asked another dumb question, I'm gonna carry you on my shoulder like a sack," threatened Mu Chenyan. "Or you'd prefer the princess carry?"
Yue Yue took a step back and waved her hands before she used sign language to say, 'I choose to walk on my own.'
"Good girl!" responded Mu Chenyan happily. "Get ready. I'm waiting."
Yue Yue knew she won't be able to get out of this since she could tell from Mu Chenyan's stance just now. She could either walk on her own or be dragged by Mu Chenyan. It seemed Mu Chenyan was hell-bent on taking her out today. She sighed and entered her bedroom to find another dress to change into.
On the other hand, Mu Chenyan descended the stairs in a good mood.
"Yanyan looks happy."
Mu Chenyan looked at Hyson and smiled at him beautifully, "I'm always happy."
"That's my dialogue," said Hyson.
"And you're my godson," she squished his cheeks as she spoke.
Hyson chuckled, "I can't even argue with that." He looked at the bag she was carrying and asked, "Going somewhere?"
Mu Chenyan didn't hide it from him and said, "I'm taking your mother out."
"So, it's a date?"
Mu Chenyan looked at his amused expression and nodded, "It's a date!"
"Then I wish you all the best, step-father!"
Mu Chenyan burst out laughing and tousled his hair before pinching his nose, "You really... Forget it. I love you anyway."
"What a coincidence! So do I."
"What are you busy with?" she asked. "I feel like I'm seeing you less and less at home these days? Are you that busy with your matchmaking business?"
Hyson shook his head, "Nah. Since I took some time off from the shooting, my manager told me to join some activities within the city. I'm not as free as I'd like to be."
"Oh, my poor son!"
Hyson also cooperated and pouted, "I'm really pitiful these days."
"Don't tire yourself," said Mu Chenyan. She fixed his hair gently as she went on, "Don't forget to eat on time. And you can take breaks if necessary. Don't push yourself. I know you don't like being the privileged one but it's okay to exploit your status once in a while."
"I'll keep that in mind," he was listening to her instructions carefully. He knew she didn't like seeing him tiring himself for work.
"So, you're also leaving? Do you want to come with us? We'll drop you off along the way," suggested Mu Chenyan when she noticed Yue Yue had come down as well and was ready to leave.
Hyson thought about it for a minute before he nodded, "Okay. I'll go with you both. I never had the experience of my parents taking me to school. Well, now it's work but I'll just assume it's the same."
Although he said it very lightly, Mu Chenyan felt it on a very deep level. She held his arm and took his out, "Then I have to drop my son off to work more in the future."
Behind them, Yue Yue looked at them in silence and didn't say anything. What could she even say? She didn't want to come between these two. Her status in both their lives would lower a little when they were together. In normal times, she was the priority of Mu Chenyan and Hyson. As she was the best friend of one and the mother of the other one. But when these two came together, no one could come between them.
All of them got in the car with Mu Chenyan personally taking the seat behind the steering wheel. Seeing her wearing her glasses heroically, Yue Yue had a bad premonition and couldn't help holding her arm.
