Bai Chenyao held Mu Tiantian in his embrace, and she couldn’t help but turn to glance at Mu Haiyun, who was standing at the doorway watching them.
Seeing Mu Haiyun still standing there like a lost soul, a trace of cold laughter flickered in Mu Tiantian’s eyes.
If it weren’t for Bai Chenyao’s presence, Mu Haiyun would have erupted by now.
Her elegance and grace had always been just a facade!
But Bai Chenyao’s words really hit Mu Haiyun’s heart hard!
To strike soone like Mu Haiyun, it seed Bai Chenyao’s words were the most effective. Being stabbed repeatedly by the man she liked, Mu Haiyun still stood there tenaciously, without shedding a tear; Mu Tiantian was truly impressed!
The scarier she acted, the more frightening Mu Haiyun beca!
So Mu Tiantian had to be on full alert because right now, they were still only with the Mu Family. By the afternoon, more guests would arrive, and with more people, things could beco chaotic and unpredictable.
Seemingly knowing what she was worried about, Bai Chenyao holding her spoke calmly.
"Don’t leave my side, and definitely don’t be alone with Shen Tiancheng!"
Mu Tiantian obediently responded with a nod; if it were possible, she hoped Shen Tiancheng’s car would break down today, or he’d be stuck in long traffic jams so he couldn’t show up at the Mu Family.
But it was just wishful thinking because it wasn’t realistic.
As they ca downstairs to the living room, Old Madam Mu’s expression wasn’t pleasant seeing Bai Chenyao and Mu Tiantian co down together.
In contrast, Mr. Mu Qinghan, who was today’s birthday star, had a more affectionate look on his usually stern face.
"You’ve co down!"
Mu Tiantian nodded with a smile, her voice soft and sweet.
"Grandpa, happy birthday, wishing you joys and blessings each year!"
Mu Yi, sitting beside them, couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Tiantian, you’re quite eager, saying blessings in the morning that are ant for the evening!"
Mu Tiantian listened and laughed along, tilting her head to look at Mu Yi, her face full of smiles.
"Dad, evening greetings are for others; right now, it’s just our family, so speaking sincerely is important!"
Mu Yi’s smile froze instantly.
Even the affectionate look on Mu Qinghan’s face stalled, his gaze toward Mu Tiantian growing more complex yet loving.
Only a kind-hearted child would say such straightforward and honest words.
His face grew even warr with a smile as Mu Qinghan looked at his little granddaughter, wanting to gently ruffle her hair but paused seeing Bai Chenyao beside her.
He was like a magic wand, forgetting his granddaughter had already grown up.
Unfortunately, such a lovable and kind-hearted child wasn’t raised by his side.
With a soft smile, Mu Qinghan’s voice was very gentle and loving.
"Good child, thank you! I heard from your dad that you even made a cake for ?"
Mu Tiantian’s gaze quickly fell on Mu Yi, her expression slightly sulky.
"Dad, you promised I’d surprise grandpa, but spoke too early!"
Mu Yi: "..."
It had been a long ti since he’d seen his son flustered. Mainly because after the incident with Zhang Xiaozhi more than twenty years ago, his son had never been close to them again, hardly speaking at ho, let alone speaking so casually and naturally now.
