Parked not far away was a low-key black Bentley, with its windows rolled down, perfectly revealing the face of the owner inside.
He Tingchen sat in the back seat, his clear eyes staring in their direction.
Mu Ningxi didn't expect to meet He Tingchen here, so she guessed that he was here to pick up He Zicheng and didn't care.
She lowered her head and led Mu Nian'an to leave.
But she heard Mu Nian'an whisper to her: "Mommy, he's here!"
Mu Ningxi looked up again, and the man was already in front of her.
The man's direct gaze made Mu Ningxi stunned for a moment, and then she said hello awkwardly.
"What a coincidence, are you here to pick up He Zicheng?"
"Come to find you!"
"Looking for me?" Mu Ningxi tilted her head and looked at He Tingchen in surprise.
There were many parents picking up their children from school around, and they all cast curious glances, which made Mu Ningxi feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her dilemma, He Tingchen said coldly: "Let's talk about it after we get in the car!"
In order to avoid these curious eyes, Mu Ningxi had no choice but to follow He Tingchen into the car.
As soon as she got into the car, she heard Mu Nian'an whisper: "Mommy, He Zicheng hasn't come to school for several days!"
The child is not in good health and should be resting in the hospital during this period. It is normal that he did not come when he asked for leave.
After the car drove for a while, Mu Ningxi turned her head and asked He Tingchen.
"You said you came to see me for something?"
He Tingchen's dark eyes looked at him calmly, and the expression on his face was rarely as cold as usual.
"Invite you to dinner!"
Mu Ningxi: "..."
Are you sure this man isn't having a seizure?
"Sorry, I've already booked a restaurant for tonight..."
Before Mu Ningxi could finish her words, she was coldly interrupted by the man: "Back off!"
Faced with the man's tyranny and domineering tone, Mu Ningxi couldn't accept it. Why should she listen to this man?
"No, I have already promised An An, which restaurant is his favorite." Mu Ningxi insisted.
An'an's birthday is naturally focused on him.
Lin Jie peered quietly at the back seat through the rearview mirror and saw He Tingchen looking towards him.
He was still a little surprised that their boss actually compromised.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Jie quickly asked Mu Ningxi, "Miss Mu, where is the restaurant you booked tonight? I asked the driver to change the route!"
Mu Ningxi did not reply to him, but directly focused her eyes on He Tingchen, looking up and down.
"You don't want to go with us, do you?"
He Tingchen didn't look at her, but turned sideways and took out a beautiful box and handed it to Mu Nian'an.
"A birthday gift from Grandpa Butler."
Mu Nian'an did not accept it immediately. He turned back to Mu Ningxi to ask for her opinion.
"You accept what Grandpa Butler gives you."
The old man was so considerate that he even asked He Tingchen to deliver it personally. She couldn't live up to it. If she had a chance next time, she would just return it!
I just didn't expect that this man actually came for An An's birthday. He must have been asked by the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper really loved An An, like a kind and doting grandfather.
It would be rude to accept a gift and then drive away the giver.
In the end, Mu Ningxi could not refuse He Tingchen, and the three of them went to the reserved restaurant together.
The small table for two originally reserved for Mu Ningxi was changed into a private room by He Tingchen.
Mu Niancheng was in a very excited state. While interacting with Mu Ningxi, he would unconsciously glance at He Tingchen.
Mu Ningxi also noticed this, although he didn't know her relationship with He Tingchen.
But blood connection is very magical. He who never liked to have much contact with strangers became unexpectedly close to He Tingchen.
Mu Ningxi booked a family restaurant, which launched some special programs to attract children every night.
There was a knock on the door, and the waiter pushed the door open after getting permission.
"Ms. Mu, today is the anniversary of our restaurant, and we have launched a parent-child event. You can ask your husband to take your children to participate. The gifts are very generous, and they are all exquisite toys that children like."
Mu Ningxi was inexplicably embarrassed. She didn't expect the waiter to mistake them for a family of three. It was hard to explain at the moment.
She was about to refuse, but she saw Mu Nian'an staring blankly at the pink rabbit in the waiter's hand, which was also one of the gifts at tonight's event.
