felt weak and she was dizzy." 。"I can't go" 。"He let go of her, and with great effort, he walked to the sofa. 'Nan Ge is Grandpa's person. Grandpa wouldn't let me go to the hospital if he didn't say...“……”

Feng Mu's lips were tightly pursed. He had never imagined that he would be speechless by such a sharp remark from a little kid.

Yes.

Liu Niancheng makes a lot of sense.

Right now, Meng Lan forgives him simply because she doesn't know the truth from back then. If she could remember those memories, perhaps she would stay far away from him.

Liu Niancheng looked at him coldly, radiating a calmness beyond his age. “So I hope you can keep this a secret, no matter what. Please don’t tell Mommy about these painful things. I want her to be happy and remain carefree like this.”

Feng Mu pursed his lips, his distinct knuckles gripping tightly, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would do this anyway."

To be honest, when he saw Menglan's pleading eyes, he almost wavered and wanted to tell her the truth. But now that he thought about it, what was the point

After all, when the truth came out, it wasn't a happy thing for Menglan.

"The cookies are done, they're baked very well!" Menglan said happily, carrying the tray of cookies out.

Seeing Feng Mu and Liu Niancheng's gloomy eyebrows, Menglan's eyes flashed with surprise, "What are you two talking about Can I listen"

"It's nothing, Mommy," Liu Niancheng said, as if he were a different person, his face beaming with innocent joy. "Wow, these cookies smell so good! I want to try one."

"Come here."

Mulan eagerly beckoned her son, her slender fingers plucking a piece of biscuit and gently placing it in his mouth.

Liu Niancheng slightly opened his thin lips, chewing the crackers with a crisp and loud crunch.

And Feng Mu sat not far from them, watching their interaction, a touch of helplessness in his smile.

Liu Niancheng's appearance was a redemption in Menglan's life, but for him, wasn't it also a kind of torment

Those sharp words pierced like needles.

It's hard to imagine what this child will achieve when they grow up!

……

Soon, it was late at night.

The rare quality time together made their interaction very pleasant.

After playing for a while, Liu Niancheng felt drowsiness creeping up on him.

Meng Lan carried him back to the room and told him stories, lulling him to sleep.

After all the commotion, it was past eleven o'clock at night. Menglan, who had talked so much, was a little thirsty. She picked up the cup on the shelf and walked to the living room.

Originally, she just wanted to get a glass of water, but she ended up seeing Feng Mu standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking and staring out at the scenery.

"You're not asleep yet" Menglan looked at him in surprise.

"Hmm."

Knowing Menglan disliked the smell of smoke, Feng Mu crushed the cigarette butt viciously into the ashtray and reminded in a low voice, “Can’t sleep Did I wake you”

"No, I just came down to get a glass of water."

Saying that, Menglan walked to the water dispenser and filled her cup with some water. She took a light sip.

After finishing her water, she turned back and found that Feng Mu hadn't left yet.

"By the way, there's something I want to tell you." Menglan said with a heavy gaze, "These days, the rumors online have been controlled very well, and those who attacked me are also decreasing. So I think I can't stay a turtle anymore. I want to go to Yuncun."

"Yuncun"

"Yes, that's the male colleague who had a conflict with Chen Dazhuang. That's his hometown." Menglan's slender fingers gripped the water glass tightly, and then she explained in a low voice, "I've already investigated. This colleague's name is Xiaonan. I heard he's already married, but his family is quite poor, so he had to leave his wife and children behind to work in the city."

"And according to the villagers, Xiao Nan's family was very kind and always willing to help others in the village. How could such a person commit a crime"

This is also the part Menglan understands the least.

So she guessed Xiaonan must have some hardship, that's why she had to resort to such a desperate measure. She wanted to go to Yun Village herself and investigate what was going on!

"Have you thought it through" Feng Mu's face was cold, seemingly without any other emotional fluctuations.

"Hmm." Menglan nodded.

"Okay, when do we leave" he asked again.

"The flight tomorrow afternoon, oh right, Niancheng might be a bother to you for a while longer. This kid has a stubborn personality, but he doesn't mean any harm. You might have to spend some time guiding him..."

"Got it."

Before she could finish, Feng Mu replied in a deep voice, “I’ll take care of Nian Cheng. You don’t have to worry about him. Have a safe journey.”

Saying that, Feng Mu nodded at her and turned to leave.

Is it really that simple

A flicker of astonishment crossed Meng Lan's eyes. She hadn't expected Feng Mu to only say that one thing, without any other thoughts. This unexpectedly made her feel quite uncomfortable.

But she clenched her fists and managed to suppress this thought.

Menglan, please stop thinking about it!

Even if you think about it, it won't help. Finish what you're doing first before you think about anything else.

……

The next day, Menglan personally sent Liu Niancheng to school. The little guy was reluctant to part with her. At the school gate, he hugged her neck tightly, and wouldn't let go no matter what.

Menglan was also heartbroken. She gently stroked her son's back with her palm and seriously assured him, "Baby, when Mommy comes back this time, I won't leave again. I will definitely make time to be with you, okay"

"Good!" Liu Niancheng nodded vigorously.

For a child, the happiest thing is nothing more than having their parents by their side.

In this regard, Menglan was failing her son in every way. She felt deeply indebted to him.

……

After sending her son off, Menglan arrived at the airport. She handled the check-in procedures on her own and waited in the airport hall for a while.

I thought I would see that familiar figure, but after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see it.

"Miss Meng!"

Just as Menglan was about to board the plane, the head butler of the Feng family came over carrying a bag.

The housekeeper, panting heavily from exhaustion, said, “I finally caught up! I'm almost dead from running. Miss Meng, I heard that the flight to Yun City is very long and takes a long time. I packed some snacks for you. If you get hungry on the way, just eat a little.”

Upon hearing this, Menglan's eyes softened slightly, "Thank you," she said.

"Oh, there's no need for formality. Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master. We'll both be waiting for you to come back." The butler's face was creased with a simple, kind smile.

Hearing her say that, Menglan was completely reassured.

It was time to board the plane, and Menglan couldn't just keep lingering in the hall. She lifted her head and looked around the doorway again.

The butler saw through her thoughts and sighed helplessly, "Miss Meng, don't look anymore. Mr. Feng won't be coming. I heard that Miss Gu San had a sudden heart attack this morning and fainted. This time is very different, it's particularly serious!" wants to talk to you." Lu Yancen said with a hint of helplessness, and then the voice on the other end of the phone changed.Lumu's enthusiasm was the same as when they first met, "Wanwan, today prete...
