Even more so, she never expected Ruan Mu to have a child in secret. His child was already in elementary school. This knowledge would hurt the hearts of many boys and girls in Jiang Capital.

“So President Ruan got married at such a young age. The child really looks like you.”

“This isn’t—Hiss, yes, he does look like me.”

Ruan Mu gave Ruan Xuantong a warning look, yet it caused this little fellow to climb all over him instead.

“But why haven’t I seen the little fellow’s mother before?”

Ruan Xuantong’s tears flowed down instantly. He said sadly, “Sister, my mother is no longer around. I pity my father who lost his wife in the prime of his life.”

“Achoo, Achoo.” Xie Nian sneezed twice in a row. It was clearly a hot summer day, and she didn’t feel particularly cold. Why did she…

“Is the air conditioning in the room too high? Let’s turn it down a little. Forget it, why don’t we turn it off directly?”

Ruan Mu’s tone left no room for doubt. His superior attitude was obvious.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything by that. Please don’t take it to heart.” Xie Nian glanced at Ruan Mu. Her face was filled with sorrow, but she had already prepared herself for the tea. She was like a seed underneath fertile soil, running around in the melon field.

“It’s alright. It’s been so many years, why haven’t I seen Xie Jiaojiao’s father?”

Xie Nian lowered her eyes and sighed. She said softly, “Sigh, he was beaten to death when I needed him the most. If I knew that he was actually going to steal something, I would have stopped him.”

“Achoo, Achoo.”

Ruan Mu had a serious expression, as if he wasn’t the one who just sneezed. Before he could speak, he saw Ruan Xuantong imitating himself.

He said coldly, “Seems like this air conditioner really made the room too cold. You adults really care about your reputation. This air conditioner has endured everything it shouldn’t have.”

“Shut up.”

Ruan Mu glared at Ruan Xuantong. If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute. If you continue speaking, I’ll sew your mouth shut.

Ruan Xuantong glared back immediately. If you dare to do it, I’ll tell your mother and let her deal with you properly.

“Since everything is a misunderstanding and the two of you know each other, why don’t we shake hands and make peace?”

Xie Nian and Ruan Mu exchanged looks and agreed to the dean’s suggestion. They had nothing to lose anyway.

“Daddy, are you going to eat with this pretty sister later?”

“My mother will definitely not be eating with your father. Don’t even think about it. My mother won’t become your mother.”

“Hmph, that’s not necessarily true. My father is so outstanding, rich, and handsome. So many people wanted to get their hands on him, but they weren’t able to.”

“My family is rich and we don’t need anyone else. What’s the point of being handsome? My mother is not such a shallow person.”

“This is not being shallow. Isn’t my father like the prince in your storybook?”

Xie Jiaojiao was stunned by his question. She looked at Ruan Mu. Although she didn’t want to admit it, this man was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

“Even if that’s the case, then—then my mother is not a princess.”

“Your mother is a princess and my father is a prince. They make a great couple.”

The two adults followed behind the two children and inexplicably felt the air around them starting to freeze.

My Jiaojiao, you should stop talking. Besides, your mother is already worthless. Even if this man is handsome and rich, your mother has already slept with him.

Although the experience wasn’t very good, she still had to leave a good impression.

“Don’t take the children’s words to heart.”

“Okay.”

Ruan Mu replied coldly, as if everything that had happened was an illusion.

“Sister, Xie Jiaojiao kicked me just now. She can’t just kick me for nothing. You have to treat me to a meal.”

Just as Xie Nian was about to reject him, she heard the man beside her say coldly, “Ruan Xuantong, don’t force others to do things they don’t like. Haven’t you learned your manners?”

Ruan Xuantong’s face darkened. No matter how unhappy he was, he did not ask Xie Nian to eat with them again.

“Don’t be so strict with children. You have to speak nicely. It’s definitely inconvenient for President Ruan to look after a child alone. You can study the know-hows of parenting.”

Ruan Mu originally wanted to reject her, but when he saw Xie Nian, whose entire body was shrouded in light, all the tough words disappeared. He nodded stiffly.

After sending the two of them off, Xie Nian returned to the school and fetched Xie Chenchen out. The family of three went to one of the best restaurants in Jiang Capital and they ate until they were full. However, they did not forget to pack some leftovers for Xie Cheng..
