Chapter 287 Calling Mom
"I'm a little tired, so I went up first. You can greet them." This time, Mu Nianwan didn't stop and went straight to the second floor.
As soon as Mu Nianwan went up, He Shuwei said apologetically, "Did you make Miss Mu unhappy?"
"Tongtong is coming to Haicheng for the first time. She has been shouting that she wants to see you before. It's rare that she is stable enough to be discharged from the hospital, so I took it upon myself to bring her here. If Miss Mu is unhappy, I can go up and explain to her."
Huo Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was hugging him and not letting go, raising her head and smiling innocently and happily at her.
"Tongtong." Huo Jinshen didn't respond, he just whispered and hugged his little girl.
Tongtong blinked and looked at him obediently.
"It's so late, you should rest."
Tongtong pouted, looking a little aggrieved, and hugged him tightly, "Sleep with daddy."
Huo Jinshen said nothing, but his eyes that gradually darkened made Tongtong slowly let go of his hand with some fear. In the end, he just stood in front of him with red eyes and a tight mouth to prevent himself from crying.
But the trembling little shoulders looked particularly distressing.
Cheng's mother looked distressed from the side and wanted to say a few words.
I just had a few words with Ms. He and found out that this child had been sick since she was a child and had just come out of hell. She also had no father or mother since she was a child. The only people close to her were her and her husband.
It seems that he is still the child of his husband's best friend, but he seems to be dead, and it is because of his death.
"Jin Shen, Tongtong just misses you too much. She is usually very well-behaved and works harder than anyone else to survive." Seeing that Tongtong was wronged, He Shuwei immediately stepped forward and took the child into her arms.
Huo Jin looked deeply at the child who was sobbing softly in her arms, pinched the center of his eyebrows, and after a while, he knelt down and stroked the child's head, "I'm not trying to hurt you, but the child should know to listen to the doctor's uncle."
The big palm that fell on the head may have been too gentle. Tongtong's little shoulders that were huddled in He Shuwei's arms gradually stopped. After a while, he slowly turned back and said with hope and desire, "Then Tongtong can follow
Is dad sleeping?"
"I came here right after I was discharged from hospital. I haven't had time to book a hotel yet, and the hotel has complicated and complicated staff coming and going, which is not conducive to Tongtong's recovery." This time, before Huo Jinshen could speak, He Shuwei had already taken the lead in explaining.
"I will go out to look for a house tomorrow. Can you let Tongtong stay with you tonight?"
He Shuwei's hand hanging by her side gradually tightened, and she looked nervously at the silent man.
She was not sure, after all, this was their home now, and Mu Nianwan's displeasure was so obvious just now, if he refused because of this...
"Cheng Ma, clean up a guest room on the first floor for Tongtong and Miss He." After a long silence, the man's deep and hoarse voice slowly sounded.
He Shuwei pinched the palm of her hand with her fingers and then slowly loosened it. Her fingertips seemed to feel wet, but she broke her palm because she pressed it too hard, and blood dripped out.
"I will let Ling Shu arrange the house tomorrow. If you need anything else, you can contact her." Huo Jinshen said in a low voice. This was an agreement to let the two of them move in tonight, but his attitude was also clear that it would be tonight.
Seeing that he agreed, He Shuwei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but Tongtong still pulled Huo Jinshen's trouser legs reluctantly, "Can't you sleep with daddy?"
"Tongtong is a grown-up child and needs to sleep by himself."
"But isn't Auntie older than Tongtong? Why can she sleep with daddy?"
"Tongtong!" He Shuwei shouted in a deep voice and quickly hugged Tongtong into her arms, "You can't be so rude."
Tongtong curled his lips, met He Shuwei's stern gaze, and finally calmed down obediently.
"Cheng Ma, please excuse me." He Shuwei looked away, not looking into the man's knowing eyes, and said directly to Cheng Ma: "You take me there, I will sort it out myself."
"Miss He, I'll just come. You take Miss Tongtong to wash up first. The bathroom on the first floor is available."
As if she was afraid of being seen, He Shuwei hugged Tongtong and pushed the suitcase, nodded to Huo Jinshen, and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.
Huo Jinshen didn't stop and went straight to the second floor.
When he entered the bedroom, Mu Nianwan happened to come out from the shower. Seeing that he came up so quickly, she seemed to raise her eyebrows in surprise, "Do you want to take a shower?"
Huo Jinshen didn't say anything. He went over to take the towel in her hand, pressed her on the chair, and stood behind to wipe her hair.
"I can do it myself."
Mu Nianwan wanted to refuse, but when he stretched out his hand, the man avoided her.
If he wants to do it, then he can do it.
"Xiao Wei and Tongtong will stay here today, and I will ask someone to arrange a house tomorrow."
Mu Nianwan's hand on her lap seemed to curl up, and after a while she responded lightly, "Yeah."
No emotion, like not very interested.
But as long as you look at her expression at this moment, you will find that her expression is a bit lighter than before when she came back.
After wiping her hair half dry, the man turned the chair around and stared at her, "Are you unhappy that Tongtong lives here?"
Mu Nianwan felt that sometimes Mr. Huo's questions were really funny.
Regardless of whether she is happy or unhappy, people have already moved in. Should she be kicked out because of her unhappiness?
A child who is seriously ill may not know how cruel he is.
Mu Nianwan still just put her arms on the table, her loose sleeves slid down a bit, revealing her jade wrists. She tapped her fingertips rhythmically on the table and smiled, "No."
Indeed not.
"Are you unhappy that I asked Tongtong to call you mom?"
Mu Nianwan's pupils shrank, and she continued to smile, "I'm still young, and I'm not used to being called mom so early."
I didn’t say no or yes, but the explanation was quite clear-cut.
Huo Jinshen did not express his position, but leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between the two, and stopped when his thin lips were almost touching hers, "Tongtong lost his parents when he was one year old, and I have always taken care of him.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been in contact with you the most since I can remember, so you call me that.”
In fact, Tongtong knew that he was not, and he corrected him countless times at first, but the child was still unwilling to change.
Later he let it go.
Putting one hand on the dressing table on one side, she suddenly laughed softly, "I didn't misunderstand, you don't need to explain."
Huo Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at her, a trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes, but he still asked patiently: "Then tell me, why is it that you are unhappy with me written on your face?"
Mu Nianwan was stunned, and subconsciously reached out to touch her face.
Is it so obvious?
She raised her lips, showed him a bright smile, and asked, "Is this okay? Can I go to bed?"
Obviously being perfunctory, the man's face finally sank, and his deep voice shouted a warning, "Are you going to keep making trouble with me like this tonight?"
Mu Nianwan pursed her lips and looked at the man's ugly face quietly, exhaustion rushing up like a flood.
