Chapter 261: Chapter 259 Quite pitiful_1

"Daddy, what are you looking at?" Shanshan spread her little legs and ran towards Mu Yingchen.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but purse her lips; it seemed that as soon as her daughter saw her father, she completely sidelined her mother who had raised her since she was little.

"Hmm... the morning paper—" Mu Yingchen put the newspaper on the table, and Shanshan immediately climbed onto his lap.

"Daddy, are you going to take me out to play today? Didn’t you say you’d also take me to see Grandma and Grandpa?"

As soon as Shanshan spoke, Su Wanxia’s face instantly became unnatural, and Mu Yingchen also paused slightly before chuckling, "Sure, if you miss Grandma and Grandpa, Daddy will take you to see them today, okay?"

"Okay, then Mommy will come too, right? All of us together—" Shanshan’s casual remark suddenly made Su Wanxia feel uneasy.

The Mu Family—she really didn’t have the slightest desire to go there.

"That depends on whether your mommy agrees. If she does, then we can all go together, okay?"

Although Mu Yingchen could be cold at times, he was truly gentle and patient with his woman and child.

"Mommy—will you come, please?" Shanshan called out to Su Wanxia, who wasn’t far away.

Su Wanxia smiled slightly, "Mommy has an appointment with Aunty Manman today, so I won’t accompany you. Be good and listen to Daddy when you’re with him."

Having said that, she turned and went into the kitchen—

She had just entered the kitchen when Su Ran’s parents came back from their morning exercise. Su Ran’s father was chatting with Mu Yingchen in the living room, and Shanshan was happily playing on the side.

Su Ran’s mother saw Su Wanxia in the kitchen and was surprised, "Xiaxia, go out. I already made the porridge when I was exercising—"

Su Wanxia sighed helplessly, "Mom, do you think I should let Shanshan go to the Mu Family again?"

She feared that if she didn’t let Shanshan go, Mu Yingchen would be unhappy, but her heart was a mess at the thought of Shanshan going. She always worried that once she went, Mu Yingchen’s mother wouldn’t let her come back.

Su Ran’s mother looked at Su Wanxia and smiled gently, "Xiaxia, I know what you’re worried about. But Yingchen is a reasonable child, and I believe he won’t insist on keeping Shanshan at the Mu Family if you don’t want her to stay. Besides—"

Her voice trailed off, then she continued, "Haven’t you two already reconciled?"

Su Wanxia’s brows furrowed deeply. It seemed that whenever she was with him, they automatically ignored all past unpleasantness, but when it came to his mother, things were really complicated.

"Forget it, since Shanshan wants to go, then let her go. I trust that he won’t leave Shanshan at the Mu Family."

Su Wanxia felt an instant relief. No matter what, it couldn’t change the fact that Shanshan and Yaoyao’s grandmother had already met Shanshan, so letting her meet her once more didn’t matter.

"Yes, Yingchen is indeed a good kid." Su Ran’s mother nodded, although her mother-in-law always lived in the past, trapped by old grudges.

Su Wanxia helped her mother-in-law finish preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and as she carried the tray out, she miraculously saw Su Ran. She was taken aback for a moment, her curiosity immediately piqued.

"Well, look who’s right on time, just in time for breakfast," Su Wanxia teased.

Su Ran curled his lip, "Of course, if I’m not on time, there won’t be any food left for me."

After saying this, he did not forget to glance at Mu Yingchen, who was sitting nearby.

Su Wanxia was puzzled. Every time these two met, it seemed they were exchanging sarcastic jibes. What on earth was going on?

Little did she know that Mu Yingchen and Su Ran had each put the other on their blacklist since the time they took her to Canada.

One despised the other for going back on their word, and the other loathed the first for taking advantage of people’s weaknesses and being despicable.

So whenever these two met, sparks flew and undercurrents raged.

After listening to Su Ran, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh, then she placed the tray on the dining table and said, "But you do have a knack for timing--"

"Of course, unlike some people who shamelessly show up early, a grown man who doesn’t even know how to feel embarrassed--"

This time, Mu Yingchen couldn’t hold back. He had stopped holding a grudge about the time when Su Ran took Wanwan away, yet he was still being mocked relentlessly. Did he really look like a pushover?

"I’m here to see my wife, kids, mother-in-law, and father-in-law. You should be accompanying your wife. What are you doing here?"

Mu Yingchen’s retort was harsh. With one sentence, he made it sound as though this was his own home, relegating Su Ran to the rank of an outsider, and took a shot at him in the process.

Su Ran’s heart was brimming with frustration. So what if he has a wife, kids, in-laws? What’s so great about that? Once he gets his hands on Manman and has triplets in one go, surpassing his twins, then let’s see what there is to be proud of.

At that thought, his heart skipped a beat. That Mu guy probably didn’t even know about his genius son, did he?

Ha! He wasn’t about to tell him!

He was originally planning to drop some hints, but now that he had offended his benefactor, Su Ran would just have to wait and see--

Suddenly, Su Ran’s mood brightened. You know, Mu Yingchen was actually quite pitiful. His woman was pregnant, and he didn’t know; she gave birth, and he remained clueless. And now, even after finally meeting, he was still being kept in the dark. How pitiful is that?

Mu Yingchen, watching Su Ran’s amused and unbothered expression, became suspicious and frowned. This guy must have a screw loose. To not get angry when provoked but instead look happy, that’s just incomprehensible!

"Alright, let’s eat~"

Everyone ignored the subtle and not-so-subtle digs between the two men, pretending they didn’t hear anything.

At the table, Su Wanxia suddenly remembered what Jian Manhui had said to her the day before. She turned to Su Ran with eager gossip on her face, "Ran... what did you do to Manhui yesterday?"

Su Ran had just taken a sip of porridge and almost choked on it, coughing violently.

The others, who were wondering what Su Wanxia meant by "what did you do to Jian Manhui," were taken aback by his response, thinking he must be feeling guilty about something.

Su Wanxia’s eyes widened in shock. She hadn’t expected such a big reaction just from her casual question. Could it really be that he had done something to Manhui? Otherwise, why would Manhui be so put off by him?

Finally catching his breath, Su Ran looked helplessly at Su Wanxia. From her question, even if he hadn’t done anything to that woman, others would think he had.

"Wanxia? What could I possibly have done to her? I didn’t hold her, I didn’t kiss her, and anything beyond that is definitely out of the question. How could you ask such a thing?"

Su Wanxia laughed awkwardly. Maybe she was overthinking things? There really wasn’t anything between him and Manhui?

"So, did you confess to her?" she asked.
