There was still a long ti before Mr. Mu’s evening birthday banquet, and it wasn’t even light out yet, but all the Mu Family old and young had already gotten up to start preparing and checking everything to avoid any mistakes.
Just as Mu Tiantian and Bai Chenyao opened their door, they saw Mu Haiyun in a black long dress, hand slightly raised, seemingly about to knock.
When she saw Mu Tiantian, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, but when she caught sight of Bai Chenyao standing behind Mu Tiantian, a hint of surprise flickered there instead.
But she was no sheltered little girl who’d never seen the world, so after that brief instant of shock and disbelief, she quickly recovered.
"Tian Tian, Mr. Bai, Grandma asked to co up and see if Tian Tian was up yet. I didn’t expect you to be up so early, Mr. Bai."
Mu Tiantian looked at Mu Haiyun with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, her voice a little cool.
"No matter what, it’s Grandpa’s birthday today, I wouldn’t oversleep. Sister and Grandma really don’t need to worry so much!"
Mu Haiyun hadn’t expected Mu Tiantian to just snap back at her like that, but no matter how much she disliked Mu Tiantian, Bai Chenyao was standing right there.
She clearly knew that Bai Chenyao was standing on Mu Tiantian’s side now; if she chose this mont to go head‑to‑head with Mu Tiantian, that would be downright stupid.
With a gentle, graceful smile, Mu Haiyun looked at Mu Tiantian softly, her voice just as gentle, like a caring, understanding older sister.
"Tian Tian rarely sleeps at ho, and your eyes look a little swollen. Is it because you’re not used to the bed here?"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
You don’t hit a smiling face, sure, but the thickness of this smiling face’s skin was practically on par with an ancient city wall!
It was Bai Chenyao, who had been silent this whole ti, who picked up the conversation with an indifferent expression after hearing Mu Haiyun’s remark.
"She’s used to sleeping with ."
Mu Tiantian: "..."
Mu Haiyun: "..."
Bai Chenyao, seriously, even if you’re helping out here, could you maybe not talk with absolutely zero bottom line or sense of proportion?!
But when she saw the smile on Mu Haiyun’s face freeze instantly, her complexion even turning a bit pale, the tightness in Mu Tiantian’s chest suddenly loosened and she felt cheerfully vindicated.
Heh!
Mu Haiyun had her eye on Bai Chenyao, but with him saying that, he was blatantly slapping Mu Haiyun in the face!
Especially since she was sure Mu Haiyun absolutely knew that Bai Chenyao had originally been sleeping in the guest room last night.
So why, early this morning, was he coming out of her room instead?
Tsk!
The vinegar jar that was Mu Haiyun had been smashed to pieces; sure enough, no matter how calm and self‑possessed she tried to be, her expression was still stiff as anything.
After quite a while, just when Mu Tiantian’s admiration for her couldn’t get any higher, she forced out a faint smile, her voice still soft and pleasant.
"I see, well, Tian Tian is still young, so it’s understandable that she likes to cling to people."
Mu Tiantian: "..."
She had to admit, she really was impressed by Mu Haiyun’s ability to comfort herself!
Or rather, impressed by Mu Haiyun’s ntal processing speed and her skill at handling sudden situations.
Those words coming from Bai Chenyao’s mouth made people’s minds go straight into the gutter, as if all sorts of R‑rated scenes had happened.
But coming from Mu Haiyun, even if Bai Chenyao had spent the whole night in her room, it was only because she was clinging to him like a child.
What could an adult man and a little girl possibly do together?
Heh!
Mu Tiantian looked at Mu Haiyun, about to open her mouth and choke her with a coback, when Bai Chenyao’s cool, low voice suddenly sounded by her ear again.
"Tian Tian is already at marrying age."
Without giving Mu Haiyun a chance to speak, Bai Chenyao reached out, blocking for the dumbfounded Mu Tiantian as he brushed past the once‑again stiff‑faced Mu Haiyun.
