107 Cooking A Frog In Warm Water
Mu Ci smiled coldly. “Alright, I don’t mean anything else. It depends on what you do.”
Old Mo got up and said, “Eldest Young Master, please wait a moment. I’ll make a copy for you. It’ll take some time.”
Mu Ci waved his hand slightly and Old Mo scrambled away.
“Young Master, I’ll go over and keep an eye on him. I’m afraid that he’ll call Second Young Master,” Du Cong, the bodyguard beside Mu Ci, said.
Mu Ci reached out to stop him. “If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, he won’t be able to survive in the future.”
Du Cong looked at Old Mo’s back and was very worried.
Mu Ci gently patted the armrest of the wheelchair. “Du Cong, you have to calm down. If we have to spend so much effort to keep an eye on such things, won’t we be exhausted?”
“Yes, Young Master!” Du Cong acknowledged.
The timing was perfect. Mu Ci picked up the item and went to fetch Bei Shuo. The timing was just right.
Bei Shuo ran over when she saw the car. When she got into the car, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead.
Mu Ci pulled her over and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. “Just walk slowly. What’s the hurry?”
Bei Shuo didn’t mind. “I need some exercise. I’ll exercise with you in the future.”
Mu Ci looked at her healthy pink cheeks and cute smile. He couldn’t help but pull her closer and kiss her lips.
Bei Shuo jumped in fright. As she pushed him away, she hurriedly looked at the chauffeur.
The chauffeur was so smart that he had already raised a small partition.
Bei Shuo’s face still turned red. She reached out to hit Mu Ci and whispered, “It won’t be good if someone sees us!”
Mu Ci smiled and didn’t say anything. He reached out to pull her into her arms and kissed her forehead gently. He didn’t want her to feel too uncomfortable. He wanted to warm her up slowly like boiling the frog.
He changed the topic and said gently, “Have you thought of what gift to give Grandma Luo?”
Bei Shuo’s attention was immediately diverted. She pouted and even nuzzled his shoulder. She shook her head resentfully. “No! I don’t know what kind of gift is suitable. My most precious things are the small pills in my bottles and jars. I can’t give old people medicine as soon as we meet, right? It doesn’t seem polite.”
Mu Ci found it funny and reached out to touch her head. “Looks like you still have to listen to me.”
Bei Shuo hurriedly nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Mu Ci was very satisfied.
“Have you seen Senior Brother Luo’s family?” Mu Ci asked.
Bei Shuo shook her head and sat up straight.
“The three senior brothers followed Master because they had problems with their family. I was adopted by Master. They were all fostered by Master at home, so when they became adults, Master asked them to return to their own homes,” Bei Shuo said as she recalled.
“Second Senior Brother’s parents were separated. Second Senior Brother doesn’t accept his father and stepmother and often runs away from home. Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother seem to be the same. They’re all stubborn children. Other than Master, no one can subdue them.” Bei Shuo was direct in certain aspects. She didn’t think that it was a big problem. It was obvious that Bei Shuo had a good relationship with Master and Senior Brother. She lived in an environment that didn’t lack love.
“It’s because they don’t want to go back to their own homes, so I don’t have any urgent feelings about going back to my own home. Master has been looking for my parents for many years but to no avail.” Bei Shuo shrugged.
Mu Ci thought about it carefully and said, “So, when you were lost, the Bei Family didn’t look for you much. They quickly found a replacement for you, Bei Le. It wasn’t until they needed you that they started to search hard and let your master find clues, right?”
Bei Shuo nodded. “I think so.”
She smiled sweetly at Mu Ci. “When I was young, my senior brothers were quite envious of me because I didn’t have a home. I was clean, unlike them. I don’t have a home that I avoided like the plague.”
Her smile suddenly faded bit by bit as she said dejectedly, “I didn’t expect Second Senior Brother to have a Grandma he cares about. I acknowledged my family, but I have no family again.”
Mu Ci pushed her head with his index finger. “Nonsense! How didn’t you have a family? Who am I to you? Didn’t we agree that we would be together for the rest of our lives? Oh, are you joking?”
Bei Shuo smiled and hugged his arm. “Yes, I have a husband! I will have children in the future. We have our own family. I won’t lose them. I will make them as happy as I was when I was young. I want them to be happy when they grow up!”
