"Father, you are back." The child named Shi Mu threw away the toy gun in his hand, ran to Shi Yan and Meng Yun, and turned to point at him with a happy smile, "My BigDaddy is back, look."

In fact, he still can't fully understand what his BigDaddy means, but he feels happy instinctively.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mumu ran back to Mu Qing and looked up at him, "BigDaddy, can you take me flying?"

Mu Qing bent down and picked him up and threw him into the air. Little Mumu screamed, "Haha, more, more, I'm flying!!"

"Dad, I'm flying!"

Meng Yun took the bag from Shi Yan's hand, and whispered to him, "Talk to him, you can't escape forever."

Shi Yan walked over indifferently.

After Mu Qing tossed little Mumu three or four times earlier, she suddenly stopped and hugged the child tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

As if sensing his emotions, Xiao Mumu obediently let him hold her, and comforted her in a low voice: "Has BigDadyy been bullied by bad guys? Don't cry, Xiao Mumu will protect you, and my father will protect you with me too." .”

The soft and immature hands wiped away the tears on Mu Qing's face.

Shi Yan carried Mu Mu away from Mu Qing's arms, "Don't be afraid, uncle is just in a bad mood, little Mumu will go home and get a bottle of drink for uncle, okay?"

Xiao Mumu turned her head to look at Mu Qing who was covering her eyes with her hands, and asked softly, "Dad, isn't he my BigDaddy?"

Shi Yan smiled, carried him to the door and put him down, "Go, come out and play with Dad later."

Little Mumu turned her head three times and walked away.

The neighbor children who played together just now did not know when they left.

The early summer wind blows on the body, which is cool and pleasant, and the cicadas are singing sadly on the willow tree at the door.

After Mu Mu left, Shi Yan closed the door and looked back at Mu Qing, "Young Master Mu is here, what's the matter?"

Mu Qing put down his hands, looked at him excitedly, and growled: "Uncle? You asked him to call me uncle? If I don't come here, are you going to never tell me?!"

"I have no relationship with First Young Master Mu, my son, of course I call you uncle!" Shi Yan didn't intend to give in, "What position is Young Master Mu using to accuse me now? I told you we broke up six years ago. You don’t listen to my explanation when you’re pregnant, and you don’t listen to me when you come back six years later, why should I tell you?”

"If you are half concerned, half caring, Mu Chunhao, old doctor Zeng, and even Mr. Song Rong and Yin Song, they all know about this, have you asked? Have you inquired?" Shi Yan asked sternly.

Mu Qing was so choked by him that he had nothing to say, so he could only beg for mercy, "Yanyan, let's stop being angry—"

"I'm not angry with you. Mu Qing, I've already broken up with you, you go, don't disturb our life again, little Mumu, I will never let him recognize you!"

"What are you talking about? Are you going to let him have no father?" Mu Qing was so anxious that he couldn't care about the tears and nose, and stepped forward to grab Shiyan's arm and asked anxiously.

"He has a father! I am his father!" Shi Yan was pushed back by him, "I also grew up like this, so it doesn't matter!"

"Bad guy! Don't bully my father!" Xiao Mumu pushed the door out with a bottle of children's drink. Seeing that Shi Yan was pushed unsteadily by Mu Qing, she thought her father was being bullied, so she threw the drink over with her hand. Dongdong ran to the front and hit Mu Qing in the stomach with his small fist, "Go, go, scoundrel! Don't bully my dad! You are not my BigDadyy! Wow, dad!!"

Mu Qing immediately let go of Shiyan, squatted down in a hurry to hug his son, "Xiao Mumu, I'm sorry, Daddy didn't—"

Shi Yan hugged Mu Mu, "Don't cry, Mu Mu, uncle didn't bully Dad. He was just talking to Dad—"

"Shi Yan!" Mu Qing couldn't listen anymore, begged to call him with red eyes, and wanted to go forward, but was stopped by a hand.

Hearing Xiao Mumu's cry, Meng Yun rushed out and blocked Mu Qing, "Master Mu, let Shi Yan comfort Xiao Mumu first before we talk about anything else."

"Get out of the way!" Mu Qing pushed Meng Yun away, followed Shi Yan into the door, Xiao Mumu hugged her father and cried loudly.

Meng Yun didn't go back to the house immediately, but stood at the door and looked around, and didn't turn around until the bodyguard sitting in the car not far away gave a signal.

Back home, Shi Yan put Xiao Mumu on the sofa, and wiped his tears and snot with a tissue.

"Father, I don't want bigdaddy anymore, he will bully you." Xiao Mumu cried convulsively, hugging her father's neck and refused to look at Mu Qing again.

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Shi rushed over from the backyard when they heard the crying.

The two old men were startled when they saw Mu Qing, and then hugged Mumu with distress, "Little Mumu, why are you crying?"

"It's okay, I was just scared." Shi Yan rubbed his son's hair and handed him to grandma and Mr. Zheng, "Mu Mu went to play with grandma and grandpa. Dad and Uncle Meng have something to do. I'll look for you later, okay?" ?"

"Yanyan, tell him well, ah, don't quarrel." Grandma looked at him worriedly and said.

Mu Qing's face was pale, looking at the family in front of him who were very wary of him, his heart ached to death.

Shi Yan nodded, bent down and kissed his son who refused to leave him, and pushed him to leave with the two old people.

Meng Yun poured a cup of hot water and came over, "Young Master Mu doesn't look very well, come in and have a seat."

Mu Qing stood at the door and looked at Shi Yan with tears in his eyes, as if waiting for his permission.

Shi Yan sat down on the sofa with an indifferent expression, "Young Master Mu, you can go, just pretend that our father and son don't exist, and live like you have for the past six years."

"Shi Yan!" Mu Qing roared unbearably: "I did not do it right——"

"Does Young Master Mu think that as long as I apologize, I have to forgive you? If I don't forgive you, I'm just being angry?" Shi Yan interrupted him annoyed, his eyes were cold and stern, "I tell you, this matter is absolutely It’s not something you can say to be afraid, run away, and ask for forgiveness.”

Biting his lips fiercely, he showed some resentment and disgust for his attitude, "Go away, I don't want to quarrel with you, and there is nothing to talk to you about."

Mu Qing rubbed his temples, and was really burnt out by Shi Yan's tough attitude. He couldn't hold back the heavy words and said one sentence after another, "Then what do you want? What do you want me to do to forgive you? You should know, As long as I think about it, it is not difficult to take Mu Mu away from you!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the living room froze instantly.

Shi Yan's eyes froze into ice, his chest heaved violently with anger, and his eyes were red.

"You can try it, Young Master Mu." Suddenly, Meng Yun, who was standing aside, uttered a voice, walked up to Shi Yan, reached out to touch his forehead, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'm here. We won't No longer being bullied like before."

Shi Yan looked up at him, choked up and said, "After all, I misjudged the person. After all these years, he is still that young master Mu who does whatever he wants, and I am still an ordinary little person."

"Don't cry, you still have a fever, be careful if your cold gets worse." Meng Yun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and looked back at Mu Qing, who realized that he had said something wrong and was scared out of his wits. Pale, and his body is crumbling.

He said in a cold voice, "First Young Master Mu, please go back. No matter what you want to do, Shi Yan and I will accompany you to the end!"

Now he is no longer the poor college student who was poor and white and could only be slaughtered by others. If he can't even protect the people and family around him, then what qualifications does he have for revenge?

Mu Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Shi Yan looking at him with strange and repulsive eyes, he finally shut his mouth and turned to leave.

Shi Yan didn't wait for Mu Qing to walk out the door, she grabbed Meng Yun's arm and cried unbearably, sad and exhausted.

"Shiyan, don't be sad, he was just saying something angry." Meng Yun was afraid that he would lose his temper, so he knelt down and hugged him, patting his back to comfort him.

"Meng Yun, Meng Yun, I have already died several times. I thought that there would be no more painful things in my life that I could not bear, but it turns out—why did I fall in love with him in the first place?"

"Boom!"

There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground at the door.

Meng Yun and Shi Yan stopped at the same time, looked up at the door, and saw Mu Qing lying at the door, his face pale.

"Mu Qing!"

When Yan Song let go, Meng Yun jumped up in fright, and Meng Yun quickly got up and ran to the door.

After running for two steps, Shi Yan almost fell down, and was supported by Meng Yun, "Don't worry, his complexion was not good just now, maybe he caught a cold from the rain last night."

Shi Yan stabilized her body and nodded, and hurried to Mu Qing with him. He hadn't completely lost consciousness, and fell to the ground weakly talking nonsense.

After a brief inspection, Meng Yun made sure that his life was not in danger before he got up to call the emergency department.

Shi Yan helped Mu Qing to let him lean into her arms, and found that his body was hot and had a high fever, and he didn't know how long he had been drenched in the rain last night. He had never caught a cold in the past year of being together.

"Mu Qing, Mu Qing—" Patting Mu Qing's face anxiously, Shi Yan called him softly, tears streaming down her face, "Don't scare me, Mu Qing."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry—" Mu Qing leaned against him unconsciously, "Yanyan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong—"

"You are really a selfish person, Mu Qing! Because you are afraid of being hurt, you hide, and because you are afraid of being hurt, you ignore me." Shi Yan cried while hugging him.

"You don't know how scared I was back then. A man, pregnant with a child, couldn't go out to meet people, couldn't find you everywhere, couldn't get through on the phone, how scared I was at that time, how could you treat me like this, how could you So cruel."

"Later when you came back, you pretended to be nonchalant and came to talk to you. You didn't mention or ask about the past. I was really, really angry. How could you be like this?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry—" Mu Qing kept apologizing in a daze.

After Meng Yun made the emergency call, he went upstairs to get the medical kit and came down to wipe Mu Qing's body with alcohol.

Shi Yan was afraid that grandma and Mu Mu would see them like this when they came back, so she was frightened, so she asked Meng Yun to go to the backyard to accompany the elderly and children, and stay and take care of them by herself.

Mu Qing took the cold medicine and became groggy. He lay on Shi Yan's lap with his shirt unbuttoned. Shi Yan kept rubbing his forehead, underarms and behind the ears with alcohol.

When the ambulance came, Mu Qing had already woken up, holding onto Shi Yan and refused to let go, looking at him speechlessly, Xiao Mumu ran out when she heard the sound of the ambulance, and saw her father being grabbed by Mu Qing's hands and ready to go together Che, thinking that he was going to be taken away, was so frightened that he burst into tears, ran over and hugged Shiyan's leg to prevent him from leaving.

As soon as he cried, Mu Qing let go, forced himself to stand up and called him eagerly, "Mu Mu, Mu Mu, I'm Daddy, just call me."

Mu Mu looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Bastard! Big bastard!"

"father!"

Crying and hugging Shi Yan again, "Don't take my father away."

When Shi Yan saw that Mu Qing seemed to have been hit hard by a blunt object, his face became extremely pale again, and he bit his lip and wept silently.

He bowed his head to comfort his son, picked him up and walked to the side of the car, and said to Mu Qing, "Young Master Mu, go to the hospital first, I will bring Mu Mu to see you when I have time."

Mu Qing raised his hand and covered his eyes with his elbow, choked up and speechless.

A farce ended in a hurry, and after the ambulance left, Shi Yan hugged her son and returned home to close the door.

The next day, he went to the hospital alone, with the Song family and the Mu family present, took a quick look at the door, saw that the person was awake and in good spirits, and left quietly.

Didn't talk to those people much.

During the six years when Mu Qing left, these people never cared about him at all, and now Shi Yan can't stop worrying about these things.

Sometimes the longer the time, the more you can see the true feelings of some people.

Asked for a few days off to accompany Meng Yun, he hadn't come back for five years, Shi Yan wanted to take him and Mu Mu for a walk around.

Jinghua's work handover has ended, and she will return to Harvest to work after the vacation. Shi Yan decided to move back to her suburban home. Although it is inconvenient, she can spend more time with Mumu.

On the weekend afternoon, when Meng Yun had something to do and left, Shi Yan took his son to catch a baseball in the yard and play.

Since Meng Yun came back, there are 24-hour bodyguards outside the house to protect him. Although he didn't say anything, Shi Yan could feel his nervousness and prudence.

The Gu family has cooperated with the Dou family in the past two years and has done many big projects. The strength of the group is comparable to that of Changhe. In the past few years, it has not been one or two times that they have fought openly and secretly with Changhe.

This time, for Jinghua’s project, the following three major companies are cooperating. Hongsheng is an affiliated company of Changhe, Xinye is a subsidiary of Gu’s Group, and Harvest is an ally of Jinghua. There are also a lot of stumbling blocks in private, and they often accuse each other of breaking things down in meetings.

Meng Yun has controlling shares in Harvest and Hongsheng. I don’t know how he has laid out the layout in the past few years. If he really wants to fight the Gu family, pull Changhe, Jinghua will come forward together, and be enemies of the Dou family and the Gu family. What's more, there are two big families behind Jinghua, the Song family and the Xin family.

However, this is an ideal state, and there is no reason for Jinghua, the Song family, the Xin family, and even Changhe to be involved in this war.

After playing for more than half an hour, Mu Mu gradually became impatient, when the doorbell rang, Shi Yan took off the baseball glove and handed it to Mu Mu, "Take the baseball and glove in and put them away, then go to grandpa to play, dad will wait later take you out."

"Wow, good, Dad!" Mu Mu cheered and jumped up, picked up the baseball on the ground and ran into the house with the glove in hand.

When Shi Yan went to the gate and opened it, she was a strange young woman, stylishly dressed, with a domineering demeanor.

"You are—" Shi Yan looked at the person hesitantly when he didn't know the person coming.

The woman took out a business card from her bag and handed it to him, "I'm Gu Mingqu, Chen Mingxu, do you remember?"

Shi Yan took a look, he was the boss of an advertising company under the Gu Group, nodded, "I remember."

"I'm his daughter. How should I put it, we should be considered half-brothers and sisters?" A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he spoke, looking up and down.

Ling Shiyan recalled in a daze, the day Mu Mu was born was thanks to this eldest lady, and he and Meng Yun were forced to take him and Meng Yun to the hospital in an accident. Deep, though, remember there is such a person.

When Shi Yan heard this, she frowned, noncommittal, and asked, "You came to see me for something?"

Gu Mingqu took out a kraft paper envelope and handed it over, "Brother Yiming asked me to tell you, please find the right person to deal with your friends. If he really intends to make an enemy of the Gu family, the Gu family will also It’s not a soft persimmon, please let him do what he can.”

"Also, this document contains the legacy my dad left you back then. Please sign it and renounce it. You have no relatives or reasons with our Gu family. There is no reason to take my Gu family's money, right?"

Shi Yan didn't pick up the file bag, and directly tore the business card in his hand into two and threw it into the trash can by the door, saying indifferently: "Since you have no relatives or reasons, don't disturb our life. I have nothing to do with him." Guan Guan will not accept anything he left for me, and naturally he will not touch a single piece of paper from your Gu family, so Miss Gu can leave without giving it away."

After finishing speaking, no matter what Gu Mingqu was behind, his face was livid with anger, he turned around and closed the door with a bang.

The Gu family was so arrogant that they came to provoke her.

Afraid that Meng Yun would suffer, he called him immediately after returning to the house, and after roughly explaining what the other party meant, Meng Yun said calmly, "Thank you, I will pay attention, don't worry, Shi Yan."

"Okay, if you need my help, just ask, and be careful in everything." Shi Yan nervously urged.

Meng Yun smiled over there and said, "By the way, I have something to discuss with you."

"Well, you said."

"I bought a villa in the city. Can you and grandma move here to live together, so that it will be more convenient for you to commute to get off work?"

"This is not good, Meng Yun, you have a lot of other expenses now, and then revenge - or something, we can't hold you back."

Shi Yan didn't really want to bring up that terrible past.

"You are my family, Shi Yan, I feel more at ease with you by my side. Trust me, okay?"

"Yes, but I feel awkward." This is like asking for a favor, which is a very contemptible behavior.

"What's so awkward, you help me without asking for anything in return, I have long regarded you as a family, Shiyan, you can rely on me, I want to rely on you too, okay?"

The touching and heart-warming words made Shiyan's eyes turn red, he bit his lips, and said, "Let me think again, Meng Yun."

"Okay, don't be burdened, I don't want to repay you deliberately, Shiyan, I just want to live with you."

"Yeah." After finishing the call, he felt relieved for no reason. He was always so tense, afraid that if he fell down, grandma and Mu Mu would have nothing to rely on. Now it's all right, Meng Yun is back, Being willing to bear the burden with him finally made him feel at home.

The luggage was still in Jinghua's apartment, and Shi Yan didn't rush to get it. If she agreed to live with Meng Yun, she could just move there.

After returning to Jiashi to work for a few days, Mu Chunhao came to the office early in the morning like a convulsion to complain, saying how Mu Qing bullied him and threatened to buy his company.

It seems that the body is already in good health, and they have started to tease Mu Chunhao.

Recently I have a lot of things to do, I often feel tired, and my stomach hurts occasionally. In the first few times, Yan didn’t take it seriously. It lasted for more than half a month. This situation became more and more serious, and I slowly realized it. I rushed to the hospital to find Zeng. The old doctor does the examination.

The result is pregnant, already ten weeks.

It should have been conceived during the New Year's Eve.

I didn't think about anything else, the first thing that came to my mind was that I hadn't had a cold or fever during this time, although I only took the medicine once or twice, I don't know if it would have any effect, and more than a month ago before I broke up with Mu Qing, I was hospitalized and had a beating Needles, these are hidden dangers.

Old Doctor Zeng shook his head, "It's hard to say, should I remove it now, or wait a few months for the child to be older and complete all the screenings before making a decision?"

"However, the older the child, the greater the physical damage induced labor will do to the adult. You have to think clearly."

Shi Yan shook her head, "I'm fine, I want to wait a little longer."

Although I couldn't feel happy at all, I was inexplicably excited, and I always felt that I should share it with someone.

Shi Yan felt that she was hopeless, and she had decided to end it all, why did she suddenly have some hope?

It seems inappropriate to tell Meng Yun, call grandma?She will be worried.

In a trance, on the way back to the company, Mu Qing called. Shi Yan held back her mood and answered, "Hey, Mr. Mu, I'm sorry, I'm driving."

"Then let me make a long story short, come back to the apartment tonight, I have something to say."

After finishing speaking, he hung up, and did not wait for the time to ask other questions.

For no reason, Shi Yan felt uneasy.

Although I was uneasy, I still called Meng Yun and grandma before leaving get off work, saying that I would be back late, thinking that I should move the things away early, and it would not be a problem to keep them there.

Before closing the briefcase, he glanced at the test report and the B-ultrasound report, and wondered whether Mu Qing had a chance to know the existence of this child.
