It turned out that Gu Zhiyin found a temporary nanny for Xia Xia.
Mu Ning was a little confused about his intentions. Cheng Shiyu was coming back soon. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to find a nanny?
Could it be that Xia Xia fell down last night and Gu Zhiyin felt guilty and felt that she couldn't take care of Xia Xia alone, so she asked a nanny to help take care of the child to make up for it?
Gu Zhiyin saw Mu Ning coming out of the room and asked her to wash her hands and prepare to eat.
He had already prepared the meal and brought it to the table from the kitchen.
Mu Ning looked at a table full of sumptuous dishes, all of which were her favorites, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Have you been cooking these dishes all morning?"
Gu Zhiyin lowered his head and played with the dishes and chopsticks for her, "I also did something else."
Mu Ning took the chopsticks and said, "What about?"
Gu Zhiyin paused.
For example...going out to buy groceries?
Gu Zhiyin didn't want to answer.
He didn't want her to know that he had been busy with these trivial things all morning.
Mu Ning glanced at his left hand hanging by his side.
His hand is inconvenient, and it’s hard to wash and chop vegetables with one hand.
This table of dishes probably took him a long time.
Mu Ning felt distressed, "Just eat whatever you want for lunch, why do you do so much?"
The reason was that Mu Ning hadn't eaten at home these two days, and he felt that Mu Ning thought the food he cooked was not delicious.
For example, Song Heng was good at cooking, but Lu Xinting had a bad temper. Even if she had a fight with him, she would stay for a meal and then slam the door out.
Gu Zhiyin wanted to keep her at home, so he followed suit.
He absentmindedly poured a glass of water for Mu Ning, "I'm tired of the clear soup and lack of water. Let's change the taste."
"Then you wake me up and I'll do it with you."
"I went to bed too late last night. I want you to rest more." Gu Zhiyin stretched out his finger and scratched her face, "I still have dark circles under my eyes after sleeping for so long."
It turned out that it was for this reason that she didn't get up.
But doesn’t he work harder than her?
Like her, he went to bed late and got up early in the morning to play with these.
Mu Ning felt bitter and sweet in her heart, and held his hand, "Stop working, sit down and eat."
She added rice to Gu Zhiyin and was about to start eating when the little ancestor came over and lay on Gu Zhiyin's lap, letting Gu Zhiyin hold her and tell stories.
The nanny is a discerning person. When she saw the loving young couple sitting together eating, she quickly went over and picked up Xia Xia. "Xia Xia, daddy wants to eat. Can Aunt He tell you a story?"
Xia Xia refused, opened her mouth and screamed, crying, "No, I want daddy!"
Aunt He hugged Xia Xia and coaxed her, but Xia Xia refused to let her go and kicked around in Aunt He's arms.
Her piercing screams filled the whole room. Mu Ning frowned and rubbed his ears. How could he still eat?
"Daddy, daddy...ahhhhhh!"
Suddenly, there was a "pop!" sound, and Mu Ning's eyebrows jumped.
Gu Zhiyin dropped his chopsticks on the table.
"Shut up!"
Aunt He trembled, and Xia Xia immediately stopped crying, with tears streaming down her face, and looked at him fearfully in Aunt He's arms.
The air was quiet and awkward. It was the first time Mu Ning saw Gu Zhiyin getting angry at Xia Xia, and she chose to remain silent at this time.
Aunt He immediately smoothed things over, "Xia Xia, can Aunt He take you to play on the swing outside? Look, there are dragonflies in the flowers. Let's go catch them."
Xia Xia huddled in Aunt He's arms, neither nodding nor shaking her head, looking at Gu Zhiyin with fearful eyes, a look of aggrievedness on her face.
Aunt He took one look at Gu Zhiyin's gloomy face, and quickly hugged Xia Xia and left.
Gu Zhiyin was about to light up a cigarette in frustration, but Mu Ning stopped him, "We are eating, no smoking allowed."
She snatched the cigarette case from his hand and threw it aside, "Didn't you quit?"
Gu Zhiyin promised Mu Ning not to smoke anymore, so he suppressed his addiction and finally quit smoking. After separating from her, he couldn't resist it in the middle of the night and started smoking again.
This brings up what happened two years ago again.
Gu Zhiyin frowned, feeling even more uncomfortable.
"Upset."
Mu Ning thought he was saying that Xia Xia was annoying him. He looked up at Xia Xia who was playing with Aunt He in the courtyard and snorted, "It's not all you are used to."
Gu Zhiyin glanced at Mu Ning and said, "I spoiled you too."
Mu Ning laughed, "Mr. Gu is so kind-hearted. He has raised generations of children, raising other people's children as his own, and has made a lot of contributions to charities."
How could Gu Zhiyin not hear the sarcasm in her words? He raised his hand and touched her head, "Don't be jealous."
Mu Ning pulled her lips and lowered her head to poke at the rice in her bowl.
Gu Zhiyin put a chicken drumstick into her bowl and said, "Eat more, you will lose weight."
Mu Ning picked up the rice in the bowl and sighed secretly.
Gu Zhiyin could see everything in her little thoughts.
Even if he can see through her, he can still control her emotions at will.
After eating, Gu Zhiyin was about to clear away the dishes, but Mu Ning stopped him.
She rinsed the dishes, threw them into the dishwasher, and wiped the table clean.
After doing all this, I lay on the sofa contentedly.
The living room was very quiet, soft music was playing, and the sun was shining warmly.
Without the little ancestor to disturb her, she felt very comfortable just lying in the small bungalow.
Gu Zhiyin came over and sat down next to her.
Mu Ning leaned towards him and asked, "What are you planning to do this afternoon?"
"Accompany you."
"Accompany me?!"
Gu Zhiyin turned to look at her, "Can't you?"
"No..." She was a little flattered.
"Go change clothes."
"ah?"
"Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Mu Ning was shocked, he actually offered to accompany her for a walk!
Why did this housebound man suddenly change his gender?
"Are you willing to go out?"
Gu Zhiyin didn't answer. Seeing that she was only wearing a thin top, he patted her head and said, "Go put on your coat."
"okay."
Mu Ning entered the room obediently and was still a little at a loss when changing clothes.
Wait, so Gu Zhiyin asked the nanny to take care of the child because he wanted to spend time with her?
Mu Ning couldn't help but want to laugh. His thoughts... were hidden too deeply.
The heavy breath last night disappeared in an instant.
But then I thought about it, it was just the first day Aunt He came here. Although she seemed honest, she was very defensive. She had to be careful when she was alone with Xia Xia at home.
Mu Ning pulled Gu Zhiyin into the room to discuss the matter.
Gu Zhiyin looked at her rolled up quilt with an indifferent expression, "The house is equipped with surveillance equipment. I put a tracker on Xia Xia. As soon as she leaves the house, the police will be called immediately."
Mu Ning was surprised that he was so thoughtful.
He had made arrangements in advance to accompany her out.
Mu Ning discovered that it seemed that after last night, Gu Zhiyin's attitude towards her was slowly changing.
It's like the sun shrouding a glacier, gradually melting the ice.
It makes people feel warm.
Gu Zhiyin looked at Mu Ning's face and said, "Your dress today is different from yesterday."
Mu Ning raised his eyebrows, deliberately trying to test him, "What's the difference?"
"Lipstick color, eyelashes, and..." Gu Zhiyin pinched her chin and looked around, "There are no sequins on the eyes."
"..." Idiot, that's eye shadow.
However, his answer surprised Mu Ning again. She didn't expect that he observed so carefully!
Aren’t men generally unable to tell the difference between lipstick shades?
Mu Ning's heart surged, "Is there more?"
"Yesterday I sprayed perfume. It was orange blossom. Today..."
He sniffed her neck and said in a low voice, "It's your own body fragrance."
Mu Ning's ears instantly became filled with blood, and his whole body felt numb.
However, Gu Zhiyin didn't let go of her yet. He pressed her against the wardrobe, clasped the back of her neck with his big hands, lowered his head and buried it in her neck, smelling her greedily.
Like a hungry beast, before enjoying his food, he has to smell its fragrance, elegant and perverted.
"What are you doing……"
"do not move."
The tip of his nose and lips brushed her skin vaguely, stimulating a small electric current.
As soon as she rubbed it, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Gu Zhiyin noticed her trembling, leaned on her shoulder, chuckled and turned his head to look at her, "Blushing, Ning Ning."
