Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

"Sir, I'll go help in the kitchen too. I'll trouble you to watch over the Second Miss for a while."

After Wang Ma finished speaking, she put Lin Muyu, who had stopped crying, into Lin Haotian's arms.

"Okay, go and do your work."

Lin Haotian took it naturally and held it in his arms.

He was very skilled at holding the baby, and you could tell at a glance that he did it often.

"Look, this is my sister, and this is your future brother-in-law."

Lin Muyu opened his big round eyes and looked at Chen Chen and Lin Muxi curiously, and stretched out his little hands to grab in the air.

When Lin Muxi saw this scene, the slight resentment in her heart seemed to be diluted by the cute appearance of this little guy. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said:

"This little guy is quite lively."

Lin Haotian quickly responded:
"Yes, Mu Yu is very naughty, but she is very likable. Xiaoxi, if you have time, play with her more. She will definitely kiss you."

Realizing that he seemed to have said something wrong, Lin Haotian quickly explained:

"Xiaoxi, that's not what Dad meant. Dad just wants you two sisters to be closer."

Lin Muxi did not respond to Lin Haotian's words, but reached out and gently touched Mu Yu's little face, and Mu Yu actually giggled.

The crisp laughter echoed in the living room, making the originally tense atmosphere a little more relaxed.

Chen Chen watched the interaction between Lin Muxi and Mu Yu, moved to her side, and teased the little guy with her.
Looking at little Mu Yu, whose eyebrows are similar to Lin Muxi's, Chen Chen suddenly thought that if he and Lin Muxi started a family in the future, they would also have such a cute child, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Lin Haotian saw all this and felt secretly relieved, thinking that this young man Chen Chen was not only polite, but also a good person.

If he hadn't come to my rescue just now, I really wouldn't know how to deal with it.

Lin Haotian looked at Chen Chen, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He smiled and said:

"Xiao Chen, from now on, just treat this place as your home. Don't be restrained."

Chen Chen responded with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle."

Just then, the housekeeper suddenly came to report that there was a guest outside the door.

Lin Haotian frowned tightly and said:

"What guests? Can't you see I'm receiving distinguished guests now? No!"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "He said his last name was Zheng."

Lin Haotian's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal, "Let him in."

The butler retreated respectfully.

Not long after, he appeared at the door with a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

The middle-aged man's eyes swept over everyone in the room one by one, finally stopping on Lin Haotian, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Haotian, long time no see."

Lin Haotian stood up holding Lin Muyu and responded calmly:

"Old Zheng, why are you here?"

The sudden appearance of Old Zheng made the atmosphere in the living room, which had been slightly relaxed, become tense again.

Lin Muxi observed the uninvited guest calmly, secretly wondering what his intention was.

Chen Chen still looked calm, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Old Zheng walked into the living room with a smile, saying as he walked:
"I was passing by here and remembered that I hadn't caught up with you for a while, so I stopped by to see you.

This must be your new wife's second daughter, so cute."

Then his gaze lingered on Chen Chen for a moment, and he asked with interest, "Who is this?" Lin Haotian introduced:

"He's Mu Xi's boyfriend, Chen Chen. Xiao Chen, this is Mr. Zheng Yujian, an old friend of mine in the business world."

Chen Chen stood up politely, stretched out his hand to shake Zheng Yujian's, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Yujian shook Chen Chen's hand vigorously, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes:
"Hello, you are really young and promising."

Then he looked at Lin Muxi and said jokingly:

"Mu Xi, when did you get a boyfriend? You didn't even tell Uncle Zheng."

Lin Muxi smiled shyly:
"Uncle Zheng, we just confirmed it before the New Year. Today is the first time I'm bringing him home, and I just happened to run into you."

Zheng Yujian walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said casually:

"Haotian, I heard some interesting news recently. It said that you are working on a big project. How is it going?"

Lin Haotian knew in his heart that Zheng Yujian's move was not just a simple chat, so he responded calmly:

"That's it, it's still going according to plan. What about you, Old Zheng? What have you been busy with lately?"

Zheng Huairen put down the teacup, leaned back on the sofa, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"As for me, I'm still the same as always, looking for some small business here and there. But I heard that you are in talks with some very powerful partners for this project. I wonder if there is any chance for us to work together?"

Lin Haotian became alert. Zheng Yujian was a man who never did anything without profit. He suddenly came to his house and mentioned this project. He was afraid that he had other intentions.

He smiled and said, "Old Zheng, you're well-informed. However, this project involves many aspects and is still under discussion. Once a decision is made, I'll definitely think of you first."

Lin Muxi listened quietly to the conversation between the two and became more and more curious about Zheng Yujian's purpose.

Noticing the atmosphere was a bit dull, she stood up and said:
"Uncle Zheng, it's a rare visit for you. The meal in the kitchen is almost ready. Let's have a meal together."

Zheng Yujian laughed: "Then I won't be polite. I'm hungry too. Haotian, it seems that I came at the right time."

Everyone stood up and walked towards the restaurant. Lin Muxi deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Chen Chen, whispering:

"Senior, this Zheng Yujian is not simple. Try not to talk to him for a while."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, "Okay."

It just so happens that he doesn't understand anything in the mall.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Guo Xiwen was helping to put the last dish on the table.

Seeing Zheng Yujian, she was stunned for a moment, then said, "Why is Mr. Zheng here? Xiwen is sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please take a seat."

"Long time no see, Xiwen is even more beautiful now."

Guo Xiwen smiled slightly and took Guo Muyu from Lin Haotian.

Everyone took their seats.

The table was filled with delicious dishes, but the atmosphere was not as lively as the food.

"Mr. Zheng, try this! This is Australian lobster just flown in this morning."

Lin Haotian looked at Zheng Yujian, but asked Chen Chen to pick up his chopsticks.

While tasting the dishes, Zheng Yujian occasionally brought up some topics, trying to get more information from everyone's responses.

Lin Haotian responded skillfully, not letting the topic stray from his control.

Guo Xiwen and Chen Chen chatted about some light topics, but they still couldn't completely dispel the tension in the air.

Chen Chen always maintained proper manners and a polite smile, and his words were concise but just right.

But his mind was working rapidly, analyzing the deeper meaning behind everyone's words and actions. (End of this chapter)
