CHAPTER 1019: 297 CHECKPOINT

"Where are you going? There’s food left for you in the kitchen, aren’t you going to have some?"

Feng Fanghua looked at him and reminded him after hearing this.

"No! Let’s eat together at noon!"

Mu Yichen glanced at his precious son and then walked out with him in his arms.

After he left, the aunt said, "The young master is more and more fond of taking Young Master Chengcheng out to play lately."

"He’s not taking the child out to play, it’s most likely he’s going to his wife’s studio."

Feng Fanghua thought to herself, others might not know him, but she, as his mother, surely does?

It’s said they had a tiff last night, and Jian Yan just arrived. If it goes on for long...

Sigh! The household has such a big vinegar jar, who can solve him?

Of course, it’s that woman who caused the vinegar jar to tip over.

At noon, a group of people grandly went to a nearby restaurant for lunch, chatting happily along the way, until Mu’s car passed by them.

Qin Mu, Jian Yan, and Xiaomei were walking behind, and Mu Yichen’s car stopped diagonally across from them. Then he got out holding the child and walked over.

Qin Mu was startled, her cold hands warming in her coat pockets, standing there straight.

Xiaomei whispered to Jian Yan, "Looks like he’s here to check on her."

Jian Yan didn’t understand the meaning of "check on her," but could guess the reason Mu Yichen came with his son.

However, Jian Yan hadn’t seen much of this little guy, so he was quite surprised to see Chengcheng.

The others stood by the roadside, watching the tall Mu Yichen carry his little treasure over, but nobody chatted idly for a moment.

"Going to have lunch?"

Mu Yichen asked as he got closer.

"Mm! What are you doing here? And..."

Qin Mu glanced at Chengcheng, who was reaching out for her to hold, and she took him over but continued to stare at Mu with surprise.

"I happened to be free, thought about taking you to a hotel for lunch, but if you already have plans, why not include us father and son? Should be fine to add a pair of chopsticks?"

Mu Yichen said, looking at those in front of her with such polite, gentlemanly eyes.

Everyone expressed no objections, Qin Mu had objections but didn’t dare to raise them. However, Jian Yan generously said, "Then let’s go together!"

Jian Yan walked ahead first, and Qin Mu, when Mu Yichen was about to follow, grabbed his sleeve with one hand. Xiaomei watched like it was a show and chuckled twice, "I won’t disturb you."

Qin Mu glanced at her unamused, then looked at Mu Yichen, "What are you doing?"

"Didn’t I say? Here to have lunch with you!"

Mu Yichen answered again.

Qin Mu said nothing, just looked at him with clear eyes.

Mu Yichen, seeing no other way, looked at the autumn-frosted leaves across the road, then explained to her, "I upset you last night, so I brought our son to apologize."

Qin Mu didn’t believe it but didn’t ask further.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

"Chengcheng is a good boy, Mommy will take you to eat yummy food."

Hearing Chengcheng call her, Qin Mu happily gave him a strong kiss on the cheek.

Tall Mu Yichen walked behind the mother and son, watching them so happily interacting, feeling sad like this desolate autumn.

But he didn’t dare to complain, just didn’t expect today’s lunch to be so abundant because Jian Yan came, so they especially ordered a few dishes that Jian Yan liked.

Jian Yan knew right away, and upon seeing flavors he preferred, decided to eat more at noon. Qin Mu, Xiaomei, he, and Mu Yichen shared a table, while the others sat separately.

"Can you hold him for me?"

Qin Mu said to Xiaomei as they sat together before heading out.

"I’ll do it!"

Jian Yan put down the chopsticks he just picked up, not bothering about Mu Yichen as he reached out to hold the child.

"That’s kind of you!"

Qin Mu awkwardly smiled, fearing Mu would be upset.

But Mu Yichen wasn’t upset, after all, it was so nice to have someone help him with the child.

Qin Mu went to the bar to order two more dishes, then went to the restroom.

"Aren’t you mad that I’m holding your son?"

Jian Yan asked the man beside him.

Mu Yichen glanced at Chengcheng, saying lightly with a faint smile, "His mother’s master is also his grandpa, why would I get mad if his grandpa holds him? Go ahead and hold him!"

Jian Yan, annoyed yet not, frowned at him.

Xiaomei was so startled that her chopsticks nearly fell, where has there ever been such a young grandpa? Back then, Huanhuan even made herself a scenario calling Jian Yan Daddy.

When Qin Mu returned, she saw the three of them with unusual expressions, took Chengcheng back and sat down, glancing at Xiaomei, who was eating quietly without daring to speak.
