Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Green Hat
The crowds at Disney are huge every day.
So as soon as the three of them entered, they were spotted by fans. Everyone was surprised to see Mu Ran bringing Xiao Jin and Wenwen to play, especially during school time.
Mu Ran explained, "I’m not in a good mood today, so I dragged the two of them out to play. Xiao Jin even scolded me, but he still came along. Quite pitiable, that kid."
Netizen: [A 6 out of 10 for the effort.]
Some netizens expressed envy.
Naturally, there were also netizens criticizing his actions and telling Zhu Zhuting not to let Mu Ran mislead the kids.
Zhu Zhuting, who is always seen as emotionally intelligent, snapped back at the netizens, "As a mother, I naturally know where my kids are going. Since they’re with Director Mu, it means I agree, and I even asked her to take them. Please don’t misunderstand. The pressure of kindergarten studies is quite heavy these days, and kids need to relax occasionally."
[Hahaha, that was a harsh comeback.]
[I wish I had parents like that!!!]
[Does kindergarten really have so much pressure?]
[Elementary school is already crazy competitive. What do you think kindergarten is like?]
[There are already kids whose schedules are packed from birth, hilarious.]
...
Mu Ran was having a good time.
Xiao Jin was trying to cheer up his aunt along the way, taking beautiful photos and recording lovely videos for her.
Zhu Wenzhen was completely absorbed in playing.
"I need to vent my unhappiness."
Mu Ran: "Me too."
Chu Xijin: Count me in.
The three of them encountered many fans asking for photos and autographs in Disney. But since Mu Ran wasn’t in a good mood and could look a bit cold, many fans were afraid to rush up suddenly, fearing Director Mu might suddenly act out.
Fans reassured everyone, "Newcomers and passersby don’t be afraid. Even us long-time fans are scared!"
Everyone: "As expected of Director Mu’s fans."
None of them seem quite mentally sane.

Xiao Yu’an, in front of the screen, looked at the photos Xiao Jin sent over one by one, thinking about the promises of the past.
"Once I finish filming, we will go traveling together."
Liar.
Big liar.
He believed everything she said. When old and modern thoughts clashed, he constantly stepped back, trying hard to become someone she wouldn’t dislike.
But still, without warning, she turned away into someone else’s arms.
Thinking about the possibility of her belonging to someone else in the future, Xiao Yu’an irritably unbuttoned the collar squeezing his throat, rubbed his throbbing temples that felt like they might explode, and the tension between his eyebrows grew worse. Just as he was about to lose control.
A call came in.
"Buddy, you came back to the country and didn’t contact me. Did you know your grandfather called me today? It was hilarious. He said you had a breakup and were very depressed after being dumped. Is it true? Where are you now? I want to join the fun."
His good friend Zhou Chaobin laughed as he asked.
"Have you ever been in many relationships?" Xiao Yu’an suddenly asked him, hoping to get some advice.
"Not that much. I’m quite an innocent guy," Zhou Chaobin cooed.
Xiao Yu’an felt nauseated, "Can you speak normally?"
Zhou Chaobin: "I just like to disgust you."
Xiao Yu’an: Is there something wrong with his brain?
Zhou Chaobin knew about his breakup and stopped teasing him, "Alright, tell me why you broke up. Don’t tell me you got cheated on."
Xiao Yu’an remained silent.
"Ah? No way, did I guess right? Oh my God, you got cheated on too, hahaha..." Zhou Chaobin laughed like crazy.
Xiao Yu’an closed his eyes.
This friend could be dispensed with.
Zhou Chaobin wanted to apologize but couldn’t help it. It reminded him of his first love, being betrayed, crying in the streets, and pouring his heart out to the heavens in the rain. Because of this, he was laughed at by others from the age of fifteen to twenty-five.
Now, finally, there’s a new subject of a first love being cheated on—Xiao Yu’an!
Happy.
As someone with a successor.
Very happy!
And the successor is a good buddy.
Even happier!
"Zhou Chaobin." Xiao Yu’an gritted his teeth.
"Alright, alright, I won’t laugh anymore. I’m just saying your chances of getting cheated on are pretty high. You work abroad and only come back occasionally. Even with daily video calls and phone calls, it doesn’t change anything. Long-distance relationships are like this. You never know when she’ll need you, and then someone else steps in. Love between men and women is reciprocal. Your relationship was like a Platonic love." Zhou Chaobin clicked his tongue twice, "If you two never cheated on each other and stayed together, I’d be really impressed. But it’s normal as it is now, don’t be too sad. Life has to go on with a bit of green on your head. Just find another one, right?"
"I just want her!"
"She’s already cheated on you, and you still want her, want her, want her. Does she even want you?" Zhou Chaobin was speechless. "Forget it. It’s understandable that you can’t get over it right after being cheated on, but it’ll be okay after a while. People need to learn to grow. This time being cheated on might be laying the groundwork for being cheated on next time. When it happens again next time, it won’t hurt as much."
Xiao Yu’an wanted to kill him!
"Do you not want your mouth?"
"I do, so I’m just calling you, not meeting you in person. See how wise and forward-thinking I am." Zhou Chaobin praised himself.
Xiao Yu’an: "Heh."
"Hey, are you going to tell me who cheated on you? Not to mention, if that person gets into a relationship next time, I might be able to get back at them for you."
Xiao Yu’an: "I’m grateful to your ancestors for eighteen generations."
"Hahaha, no need, you’re too kind." Zhou Chaobin laughed cheekily, truly curious.
Xiao Yu’an kept silent.
Zhou Chaobin pressed on, "Come on, tell me. As someone experienced in love, I might be able to help you analyze the flaws in your relationship. In case you reconcile with her someday, you might make it last longer."
Xiao Yu’an was a bit tempted.
Zhou Chaobin continued, "Trust me, with ten years of love experience and countless girlfriends, and not being beaten to death by any of them, I’m quite impressive."
"You sure you didn’t just throw money at them?"
"Don’t say the honest truth." Zhou Chaobin rolled his eyes, "I need some dignity too, okay?"
Xiao Yu’an was speechless.
Increasingly felt he was unreliable.
"Just tell me, tell me, maybe I’ll be the best man at your wedding, and you’ll be grateful to me. I’d even be at the main table." Zhou Chaobin said.
That sentence made Xiao Yu’an happy.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Yun Fei."
"Yun Fei, huh? You shouldn’t have told me. Now that you have, I have no idea what to do. He’s never been in a relationship, an innocent young man. You don’t know; my girlfriend ships Director Mu and Yun Fei hard, thinking they’re perfect for each other. Whether it’s looks, family background, or those brief seconds of their vibe, everyone loves them. Who wouldn’t love the older woman and young puppy combination? No one!!!"
