He was still several steps away when Zixian walked over.
Looking up with a small face, he politely asked, "Uncle Mu, may I discuss something with you?"
Mu Shaochen observed his fearless expression and asked softly, "What is it?"
Zixian turned to glance at Xinxin who was intently drinking her milk.
He spoke softly, "I just promised Xinxin that I'd tell her a bedtime story tonight. Could I stay with her for a while, tell her the story, and wait until she falls asleep before going home?"
Mu Shaochen raised his eyebrows.
"Why does Zixian want to stay until Xinxin falls asleep before leaving tonight? It will be very late, and if you get home too late, you won't rest well. Without enough rest, you might not grow tall. As a young man, if you don't grow tall, you may have trouble finding a girlfriend in the future."
Mu Shaochen's seemingly gentle and calm words.
Every word was meant to scare and reject Ye Zixian.
