Meet Mu Lin

"What about Big Brother, Mom?" Mu Yan, who was laying her head on her grandfather's lap, asked when Mu Qingge walked towards them.

Mu Qingge shook her head, looking at her daughter's expectant expression. "I've considered it, and I decided to fulfill your wish."

Mu Yan suddenly rose from her grandfather's lap and exclaimed. "Really?"

"Yes."

"Yay!" Mu Yan jumped up and down in joy, causing her mother and grandfather to shake their heads, seeing her act like a child.

Mu Lin, who was feeling confused by his granddaughter's attitude, then asked his daughter. "What are you two talking about? Which big brother is Yan'er referring to?"

"Haha! Grandpa! His name is Big Brother Feng Xiao!" Mu Yan shouted as she laughed cheerfully. "He is a good man, and I like him, so I asked my mother to consider him to be her husband!"

"Eh?" Mu Lin was shocked after hearing that because he didn't know where Tang Xiao came from or his background, but his granddaughter actually asked her daughter such a thing. "Who exactly is Feng Xiao? Explain everything you know about him, Qingge."

"Father, Feng Xiao is Yi An's private chauffeur, and we just met him earlier in the front garden."

Mu Lin turned to her granddaughter in astonishment, especially since Mu Yan had never been able to accept the presence of any man before, but she suddenly wanted her mother to consider a man that she had just met to be her husband.

Mu Qingge was certainly not surprised by her father's reaction, and she told Mu Lin everything she knew about Tang Xiao, but she didn't tell her father that he was Tang Ye's son. Even though she had decided to give him the opportunity to approach her, she still felt confused about her decision, especially since his parents were her old friends.

"Are you really going to give Feng Xiao a chance to approach you?" Mu Lin asked with a doubtful look, especially since Mu Qingge once told him that she would never get married. "He is still 24 years old now, so you are two decades apart in age. Besides, he is a dual cultivator with two wives, and the number of his wives will increase in the future, so I find it difficult to accept your decision."

"Father, you must already know my reasons, right?" Mu Lin let out a heavy sigh because he knew that Mu Qingge had decided that for Mu Yan's sake. "That's why I decided to give Feng Xiao a chance, and I won't change my decision, but everything depends on him. If he truly loves and cares for Yan'er, and he can convince me, then I will accept him as my husband. Anyway, you might like him once you get to know him, so you can talk to him when he comes here again."

"What do you mean by that?" Mu Qingge just smiled without answering Mu Ling's question. "Sigh, I'll meet him myself."

Tang Xiao was waiting in the car in the hospital parking lot because Yi An suddenly received news from the hospital that Ouyang Ming's condition was suddenly getting worse, so he drove her there.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you follow our boss?"

However, Su Rou did not answer Tang Xiao's question, and she looked at him with a look full of jealousy. "What's your relationship with Mu Qingge? Are you fascinated by her? I saw you get along so well with her earlier."

Tang Xiao turned his head and frowned at Su Rou, but he just looked at her silently because he felt that she was starting to cross the line, and she was starting to get jealous about his relationship with other women.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Quickly! Answer my question." Su Rou spoke with a thumping heart, and she was actually scared by the look in Tang Xiao's eyes, plus she felt that he looked at her with disdain.

"Have you forgotten the status of our relationship? We are just sex partners, remember? You already know that I have a wife, and she has never been jealous of my relationships with other women, including my relationship with you, but now you are acting opposite her." Tang Xiao finally spoke, but Su Rou was shivering at his cold voice. "Do you think I need you? You are the one who needs me to satisfy your lust, and not the other way around, so you should know your place and stop interfering in my personal affairs. Otherwise, you don't need to come to me anymore."

"You… You…" Su Rou stuttered as she pointed at Tang Xiao, but she didn't dare continue her words when she saw his gaze turn cold.

"I don't like people who don't know their boundaries like you, so the decision is in your hands, and you should go to our boss now." Su Rou glared at him for a while before getting out of the car and running into the hospital, but Tang Xiao couldn't care less about her, and he leaned back in the driver's seat while thinking about Mu Qingge. "She is truly a stunning beauty, and I want her to be my third wife. However, I am confused about how to get closer to her, especially since she knew my late father, and their old relationship might make it difficult to develop our relationship."

[Why do you have to think about that, Xiao'er?] Tang Yin's question in his head startled Tang Xiao. [Our Tang family does have a close relationship with the Mu family, and our grandpa's relationship with Grandpa Mu is like that of siblings. However, you were too young at that time, so you probably don't remember the relationship between the two families. As for me, I'm a little older than you back then, so I remember more or less about them, and I often met Aunt Qingge in the past. That's why I fully support you in taking her as your third wife, especially since she is a gentle and kind-hearted woman, so you have to win her heart as soon as possible.]

'What should I do to win her heart?'

[Isn't that easy? You yourself have heard that Aunt Qingge decided to give you a chance for Mu Yan's sake, so you can start with her.]

'Even though Mu Yan is spoiled and tomboyish, she is actually a good girl, and she became like that because she never had a father figure.'

[That's right. Moreover, Mu Yan seems obedient to you, so you can guide her to become better, and I'm sure that Aunt Qingge's heart will melt faster if you can do that.]

Tang Xiao nodded understandingly. 'All right, I will help Mu Yan change her current mindset, so Mu Qingge won't continue to be annoyed with her. Anyway, I want you to stop looking for new women for me, especially since they are just ordinary women.'

[I know, but you can teach them how to cultivate, and they will become useful to you, right?] Tang Xiao certainly knew about it, but he felt it would waste too much time. [All right, you don't need to think too much about them because I won't force you to accept them, but you can at least meet them first. If you are interested in them, then you can take them as members of your harem, and vice versa.]

'All right, I will meet them tomorrow at your office.'

"For now, Ming'er's condition is stable, but I'm afraid that his symptoms will recur, so I'll ask the nurses to monitor him for 24 hours, and I'll let you know the progress tomorrow."

"All right, you must immediately tell me if there are any developments regarding Ming'er's condition, Doctor Ling." After the doctor left, Yi An asked Su Rou, who looked so gloomy. "What happened to you? Did you feel like this had anything to do with Feng Xiao?"

Su Rou looked at her for a while before nodding to Yi An, and she told her about her fight with Tang Xiao earlier.

After hearing everything, Yi An released a soft sigh and said to her. "It's all your own fault, Su Rou. You know that he has a wife, but you chose to have a relationship with him as a sex partner. Since your relationship with him is only limited to that, it's natural that he doesn't like it if you interfere with his personal affairs; even his wife doesn't forbid him from having a relationship with you."

"But-"

"If you still want to have a relationship with him, you should know your boundaries, and you should not overstep them." Yi An hastily cut off her words. "Regarding his relationship with Mu Qingge, they just met today, and I don't see anything special between them. Besides, she is indeed different from the young misses of other families, and she never looks at someone's status to talk to them. She always treated everyone equally, be it chauffeurs, maids, or others. Do you understand?"

Su Rou lowered her head in resignation after she realized that she was indeed wrong for being blindly jealous of Mu Qingge, especially since she was only Tang Xiao's sex partner and not his wife. "I understand."

After she looked after her son for some time, Yi An decided to leave the hospital, and she asked Tang Xiao to take them back to Mu House, especially since she didn't want to be late for Mu Ling's birthday banquet.

When they arrived there, several guests had already arrived, and Yi An immediately took Su Rou inside.

As for Tang Xiao, he strolled around in the garden while looking for Mu Qingge and Mu Yan, but he couldn't find them anywhere. However, he suddenly felt a powerful aura appear behind him, and he realized that the person standing behind him was Mu Lin. "Senior, I came here without any evil intentions, and I only brought my boss here, so you don't need to scare me like this, right?"

"Haha." Mu Lin laughed after hearing Tang Xiao's words, and he moved in front of him as he enveloped them with his aura, so no one could peek or eavesdrop on them. "Now no one can see us, so you can take off your disguise. After all, it would be rude if you came to someone else's house wearing a disguise, right?"

Tang Xiao inwardly sighed and canceled his disguise. "Forgive my impoliteness, but I have personal reasons for wearing a disguise, Senior."

"Good! I like your attitude." Mu Lin said with a smile because he was quite satisfied with Tang Xiao's uncomplicated attitude. "Hmm? Why do I feel familiar with your face? What's your real name?"

"Eh? Hasn't Mrs. Mu told you about my identity, Senior?" Mu Ling responded to him by shaking his head. "My real name is Tang Xiao, Senior."

"Tang Xiao? Are you Little Ye's son? Old Huang's grandson?" Mu Lin asked with a completely shocked expression.

Mu Lin's expression amused Tang Xiao, but he wasn't sure why Mu Qingge had kept his identity from her father. "Yes, Senior. They are my father and grandfather, and my big sister told me earlier that you and my grandfather are like brothers, but I don't remember anything about your family."

"The last time you came here, you were still this small, and you never came here again ever since that incident, so it's normal that you can't remember it." Mu Lin said as he made a gesture with his hands. "Yin'er is right; Old Huang and I are like brothers, and our relationship is excellent. However, I heard you died in prison, but you're still alive now."
