"It’s nothing!" Mu Qiancheng shook his head. He was older than Lu Jintian, and being called "big brother" made even Lu Jintian uncomfortable, let alone himself.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell Jiang Xue about this, to avoid making her worry. Moreover, since he married Jiang Xue, he naturally had to respect her. Lu Jintian was Jiang Xue’s brother, so he was his brother too. So what if he was younger? There’s nothing you can do about seniority in the family, right?
Mu Qiancheng didn’t want to elaborate, and Jiang Xue didn’t press further. The couple, with their child, headed straight to the building where they lived and went ho.
Back ho, Jiang Xue brought up to Mu Qiancheng about agreeing to visit Lu Jintian’s adoptive father the next day. Even if Lu Jintian hadn’t ntioned it, she had already planned to take him along.
Besides, Mu Qiancheng wasn’t comfortable with Jiang Xue going alone with their child, so when Jiang Xue ntioned it, he agreed imdiately.
However, thinking that Mr. Mu might co over, he reminded Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, we won’t be ho tomorrow. You should call Grandpa to let him know, so he doesn’t co in vain."
"Okay, I’ll call now." Jiang Xue replied with a smile, then took out her phone to call Mr. Mu. Receiving Jiang Xue’s call, Mr. Mu was quite happy and laughed as he asked, "Xue’er, how do you have ti to call ? Are you missing this old man?"
Hearing the joy in Mr. Mu’s voice, Jiang Xue also laughed and said, "Yes, Little Reunion and I both miss you."
"Really? Then I’ll co over tomorrow." Mr. Mu’s happiness increased, and his aged face almost blossod into a flower with his smile.
Housekeeper Lin, watching from the side, was also all smiles. When the old man was in a good mood, it made him happy too.
When Jiang Xue heard the old man say he would co over, she quickly said, "Grandpa, I won’t be ho tomorrow."
"Oh, when will you be back tomorrow?" The smile on Mr. Mu’s face gradually faded, and he asked a bit disappointedly.
"Probably not until the evening." Hearing Mr. Mu’s disappointnt, Jiang Xue explained, "Grandpa, it’s like this. I have a brother who was adopted by the Lu Family. Now Uncle Lu heard I’m here and wants to visit their place. So tomorrow, Qiancheng and I are going to the Lu Family."
"The Lu Family, you an Lu Zheng’s place?" Mr. Mu asked. The old man was well-acquainted with these big families in Beijing.
"Yes!"
"Alright, got it!"
Mr. Mu hung up the phone and then instructed Housekeeper Lin, "Zi’an, call Lu Zheng and let him know I’ll visit tomorrow."
"Okay, Master!" Housekeeper Lin responded and went to call Lu Zheng.
Unaware that she would encounter Mr. Mu at the Lu Family the next day, Jiang Xue was sorting out the specialties they brought from ho to give to Lu Zheng.
In addition to that, Jiang Xue selected a couple of her own writings to gift to them.
After organizing everything, the couple went to bed early. In the morning, Mu Qiancheng got up to make breakfast, and by the ti Jiang Xue and Little Reunion woke up, breakfast was ready.
After breakfast, just as Jiang Xue was finishing up cleaning the kitchen, Lu Jintian called. He told Jiang Xue that he was already downstairs.
With Lu Jintian there, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng didn’t dawdle, took their things, and went downstairs.
When they reached downstairs, Mu Qiancheng saw Lu Jintian leaning against the car waiting for them, and followed Jiang Xue in calling him ’Brother.’
Just after he called, Lu Jintian said, "Qiancheng, let’s just call each other by our nas from now on. I’ll call you Qiancheng, and you call Jintian."
