Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

Mu Tingshen heard Su Muran's mutterings clearly and couldn't help but chuckle.

Her voice was husky from the morning, which was especially alluring. She gave him a light kiss and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to go do my morning exercise with Grandpa. You can sleep a little longer."

He tucked the blanket around her and tiptoed out, closing the door behind him.

Su Muran slept very soundly. When she woke up again, the sunlight streaming through the gap in the curtains was bright and dazzling.

The slightest movement sent a shiver of pain through her body. Remembering the absurdity of the previous night, her cheeks instantly burned. She grabbed the blanket, covered her face, and groaned softly, cursing Mu Tingshen inwardly for being like a ravenous wolf, utterly unrestrained.

When she recovered and got out of bed, Mu Tingshen was the only person downstairs.

"Awake? Hungry? Come and have some breakfast."

Mu Tingshen got up from the sofa, went to meet her and took her hand. She looked at him with tender and affectionate eyes, the deep affection in her eyes almost melting people.

Su Muran couldn't stand his gaze and blushed as she said, "Don't look at me like that, it's so embarrassing if someone sees us."

"You're my wife, what's wrong with me looking at you like this? What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, there's no one else in the house. Grandpa's gone, it's just you and me."

Mu Tingshen was self-righteous and not only continued to look at her with that kind of gaze, but also moved closer to her while speaking, almost pressing against her.

Upon hearing that it was just the two of them, Su Muran felt even more threatened.

She immediately broke free from his hand, took two quick steps forward, sat down at the table, and said, "Let's eat! I'm starving."

It's already 11 o'clock, and we'll be having lunch soon.

She exercised so much last night, how could she not be hungry?

Mu Tingshen knew she was shy, so he couldn't help but smile and sat down properly opposite her, saying, "I've already eaten. I'll just watch you eat."

Su Muran kept her head down as she ate her breakfast, not daring to look up and meet Mu Tingshen's gaze.

Even with her head down, she could still feel Mu Tingshen's burning gaze.

Thinking of the tender moments last night, my heart warmed, and I quickly ate two bites before putting down my chopsticks.

"You're done eating so quickly? You didn't eat enough."

Mu Tingshen was still admiring her adorable eating manners when he saw her put down her chopsticks.

He couldn't help but frown, first questioning her, then feeling sorry for her for not eating enough.

Su Muran thought to herself, "How can I have any appetite if you look at me like that?"

"I'm not hungry, I'm really full."

"That's true, I gave you so much yesterday, you're not hungry."

Mu Tingshen suddenly curled his lips and said something with a double meaning.

Su Muran: "..."

She blushed instantly, glared at him playfully, and complained, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore."

Mu Tingshen felt a slight tingling in his heart at her coquettish appearance. He immediately got up and went to her side, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself and said those sweet nothings between husband and wife. Please don't be angry with me, okay? I promise I won't say them during the day anymore, I'll save them for the night."

Su Muran was so angry she laughed.

I really wanted to raise my hand and slap him to teach him a lesson, but I felt that the action was too ambiguous and embarrassing.

Now she understands why some couples playfully fight each other; some people really do deserve to be hit at certain times.

"Buzz buzz buzz".

Mu Tingshen's phone rang.

He took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered the call.

"Brother, you were looking for me?"

"You contacted me first, you called me last night?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Mu Yunfan. Mu Tingshen only saw it this morning; Mu Yunfan had called him last night.

He called him back in the morning, but no one answered.

Mu Yunfan called him now.

"Yeah, I called, but you didn't answer."

Mu Yunfan answered in a muffled voice.

Mu Tingshen asked him, "Did you need something?"

Mu Yunfan remained silent.

Mu Tingshen immediately added, "If you're not going to tell me, I'm hanging up."

"Brother, Mom and Dad are arguing."

Mu Yunfan's voice was filled with indescribable weariness.

Mu Ting said in a deep voice, "It has nothing to do with you. Just live your own life and don't worry about anything else."

Mu Yunfan said bitterly, "How could it not be a problem? They are my parents, and you are my brother. I just want to go back to the way things were before, and I don't want you two to have any conflicts."

Mu Tingshen didn't know how to comfort him.

Because there has never been a "before," it has always been like this.

He had no idea before; as the pampered beneficiary of the family, he hadn't noticed that his brother was being treated differently. Even after he found out, he couldn't blame his mother for favoritism towards him.

What he wanted was for everyone to continue acting in front of him, putting on a show of family harmony.

Where are you? I'm coming to find you.

Mu Tingshen changed the subject.

After all, many things can't be explained clearly over the phone, and you can see his current state when you meet him in person.

"No. XXX, Chang'an Road".

Mu Yunfan gave Meng Shuyan's apartment address.

Mu Tingshen knew this address and immediately frowned, asking him, "Why are you at Meng Shuyan's house?"

"I met her last night, and we had a few drinks at her apartment. We just drank, nothing else."

Fearing that Mu Tingshen might misunderstand, Mu Yunfan immediately explained the situation to him.

However, Mu Tingshen didn't care whether he or Meng Shuyan had anything going on, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me, I'll bring your sister-in-law over."

Su Muran overheard him making a phone call and roughly guessed who he was talking to.

When she heard Mu Tingshen say that he would take her along, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

After Mu Tingshen hung up the phone, she quickly asked, "Should I come along too?"

Mu Tingshen reminded him, "Didn't you bring him a gift? You didn't have time to give it to him yesterday, so today is a good day to give it to him in person."

Su Muran remembered that Mu Tingshen had indeed brought the fountain pen along with the gifts from Grandpa Mu.

So I went upstairs to change my clothes, and then went downstairs to go with him in the car.

In the car, Su Muran asked him, "You and your brother have a pretty good relationship?"

Mu Tingshen said, "He doesn't know anything, he's soft-hearted and doesn't have any guile. He's been following me around since he was little, and he believes everything I say. That's why Ms. Zhao dislikes me more and more, and always feels that I would lie to her son or bully him."

Su Muran didn't know what to say. The most difficult relationship to handle in the world is the family relationship.

Like her, she clearly loathed Su Mingli, but because of her parents, she had to hide her emotions and didn't want to hurt them.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yunfan looked at the empty wine bottles in the living room and thought of how Mu Tingshen hated messiness.

So he quickly got up and cleaned up the living room, then collected the trash bags and threw them downstairs.

Meng Shuyan woke up just as Mu Yunfan returned from taking out the trash.

"What time is it? What were you doing?"

"When I took out the trash, my brother and sister-in-law came over right away. I was afraid he would feel uncomfortable if he saw the mess in the living room."

Mu Yunfan explained to her.

Meng Shuyan: "..."

"Mu Yunfan, are you out of your mind?! Why didn't you tell me Mu Tingshen was coming over sooner? I haven't even washed my face or changed my clothes. You want me to meet him and his wife like this? Are you even human? No wonder your mother dislikes you. You're really too clever for your own good."
