Chapter 33
Conquer Your Stomach
Mu En pulled his grandfather to play a game of chess and let Mu Ci watch the battle from the side. Mu En was very shameless in playing chess, but he could make Old Master Mu laugh. This was the reason why Mu En had been pampered since he was young. He always had the ability to make people like him. He also had the ability to make the people around him happy and make the atmosphere harmonious.
But Mu Ci had never been able to do it.
Mu Ci looked at their chess game, but he was thinking about other things.
Now, he had to make new plans for many things.
If he could really live, he would accompany Bei Shuo and live well!
He was a little excited inside. Thanks to his good mood, he did not feel inferior for once as Mu En warmed up the atmosphere.
As Mu En laughed, he looked at his big brother many times. He could clearly feel the difference in Mu Ci.
“It’s time to eat!” Bei Shuo ran out excitedly and shouted at them.
The new housekeeper, Mrs. Tian, chased after her and looked embarrassed as she cautiously looked at the three of them.
The three of them were stunned by Bei Shuo’s shout and looked at them in unison.
Mu En stood up to help his grandfather up and pushed Mu Ci’s wheelchair.
Bei Shuo sensitively noticed the slight change in their expressions. In a voice that everyone could hear, she asked Mrs. Tian in a low voice, “Did I do something wrong?”
Mrs. Tian said carefully, “Young Madam, we should be the ones to inform Old Master that breakfast is ready.”
Bei Shuo raised her eyebrows and said, “Oh.”
Mu Ci’s wheelchair had already slid to her side. He took her hand. “It’s okay. I like you like this. It feels more lively.”
Bei Shuo immediately smiled. “I’m used to calling my master and senior brothers like this.”
Mu En immediately caught Bei Shuo’s words and asked curiously, “Do you live with your Master and Senior Brothers?”
Bei Shuo nodded. “Yes.”
However, she did not say anything. Her master and three senior brothers were no ordinary people. It was better to not mention them in the future. She had to control herself and not speak without restraint when she was happy.
Mu En smiled and asked, “Grandpa, how did you hook up Big Brother and Sister-in-Law? Why didn’t I hear anything beforehand? Besides, I haven’t seen Sister-in-Law in town before.”
Mu Chen patted his grandson and said angrily, “You’ve exposed your own weakness with just one sentence!”
He smiled and said to Bei Shuo, “Mu’en has been spoiled by his parents since he was young. He’s a classic playboy! There’s no young lady in this city that he doesn’t know! Hmph!”
Bei Shuo smiled and scooped a bowl of soup for everyone.
Mu En smiled and said, “Sister-in-Law, just let the servants do this kind of thing. You’re the young madam of the Mu family. You don’t have to do such heavy lifting.”
At this moment, Mu En completely believed his mother and Song Nan’s words. This was indeed an unpresentable girl. She did not even know the etiquette of a young lady from a wealthy family. He did not expect that Mu Ci would eventually marry such a good-for-nothing. She was beautiful but soulless.
Unexpectedly, Bei Shuo smiled and said, “What’s wrong with that? This is my sincerity. Is the soup I scooped delicious?”
Bei Shuo tilted her head and looked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci smiled, took a sip, and nodded. “Yes, it’s good!”
Mu En was stunned when he saw how loving the two of them were. Beside him, Mu Chen laughed and pointed at Mu En. “I’m so happy to see such an expression on your face in my lifetime!”
Mu En immediately said bitterly, “Grandpa, don’t hit me when I’m down. I was wrong, okay? I’m really envious.”
Bei Shuo blinked, clearly not following Mu En’s pace.
Mu Chen took a sip of the soup and praised, “This soup is indeed not bad.”
Bei Shuo’s face immediately revealed the satisfaction of a child being encouraged. “Then Grandpa, try my cooking again.”
Mu En glanced at the dishes on the table and frowned. “Just this?”
Bei Shuo nodded. “That’s all. Four dishes and a soup. There’s meat and vegetables. It’s a sumptuous meal, right?”
Mu En could not help but cover his mouth and smile. When he saw Mu Chen glaring at him, he quickly stopped smiling.
Bei Shuo was confused. “What’s wrong? Is it not enough? Or is it not delicious?”
Mu En quickly waved his hand and smiled even more warmly. “No, that’s not what I meant. Everything is perfectly fine. Let me try the dishes you made, okay?”
“I cooked everything,” Bei Shuo said.
This stunned Mu En. Then, he thought about it. It was normal for a country girl to know how to cook a few dishes.
Mu Ci had already picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of Mu Chen. “Grandpa, come and try Bei Shuo’s cooking.”
Mu Chen nodded with a smile and began to eat. Mu Ci also picked up some food and put it in his mouth.
