Mu Shen’s Care
At the entrance of the villa, Mu Shen lightly pressed his finger on the door, and the gate opened automatically with a soft click.
Ruan Ruan held onto his big hand, curiously observing the door.
"Daddy, why didn't you push it, and it opened by itself? It's so magical!"
Ruan Ruan followed him inside, her gaze fixated on the door, looking like a curious little treasure.
Mu Shen kept his eyes forward and walked slower than usual. To the child's question, he only gave a brief response.
"Fingerprint recognition."
"Oh." Ruan Ruan seemed to understand but not quite. Little White, a few steps behind, looked around with cautious eyes, instinctively checking for safety in this unfamiliar environment.
Though still young, Little White's vigilance was innate due to its wolf instincts.
"Young Master, welcome back."
Shortly after they entered, a middle-aged man dressed in a black tailcoat came out. When he saw Ruan Ruan holding onto Mu Shen, surprise flashed across his usually composed face, but he quickly concealed it and greeted Mu Shen in a normal manner.
"Mhm." Mu Shen replied in his usual indifferent tone, leading the curious little Ruan Ruan into the large house.
Little White ran over and stood guard beside Ruan Ruan when they passed by the butler, showing its small teeth and growling threateningly.
Once Ruan Ruan was far enough, it cheerfully turned around and ran off.
The butler raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the little monk and the wolf cub.
An experienced butler could immediately tell that the small creature was not some harmless little puppy but a wolf cub with aggressive tendencies.
"Wow… Daddy, your home is so beautiful!"
A childlike exclamation came from behind, and the butler, wearing a professional smile, was about to walk away but was stopped in his tracks by the word "Daddy."
He stumbled a bit, almost falling to the ground.
Once he regained his composure, he stared at the child in astonishment.
Did the little monk just call his Young Master… "Daddy"?
No way! Daddy? It's his Young Master!
The butler's heart was shocked, excited, and somewhat uncertain, feeling a mix of emotions.
He had been with his Young Master for so many years, and Mu Shen had always been like an emotionless working machine. The butler had even thought that Mu Shen wouldn't have any girlfriend even in his forties or fifties.
But now…
This directly skipped the girlfriend and marriage stages. Did a big child suddenly appear?
The butler forced himself to maintain a professional smile, looking at the little, um… monk? That attire seemed like a monk's robe.
Looking at the white and tender face, the nose resembling the Young Master's, and well… even the mouth, yes, all resembled the Young Master. After a closer look, the eyes seemed somewhat similar too. No mistake, this was the Young Master's child.
The butler's usually calm heart was now filled with excitement and some awkwardness. He was genuinely moved. His Young Master… finally had someone with him, and now he even had a child. Was the appearance of the child's mother far behind?
"Sir, should I inform the master and the others about this?" The butler couldn't help asking. After all, the Old Master's family had been deeply concerned about the Young Master's major life events. If they found out that he had a child now, they would be overjoyed.
Mu Shen glanced at Ruan Ruan, who was also looking at him with an admiring gaze full of affection and even sneaked closer to him with tiny steps.
His cold eyes softened a bit, but thinking of the people at the old house, he couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.
"No need. I want to investigate this matter first before alarming them."
Although surprised, the butler didn't ask further questions and nodded in agreement. Then he quickly went to arrange for a maid to take Ruan Ruan for a bath and ordered some new children's clothes, while the C-brand's latest children's wear was on its way.
Mu Shen went upstairs to take a shower. The little monk had jumped on him when she was dirty, which was unexpected.
"Tsk… I didn't throw her out."
After bathing, Mu Shen dried his still-damp hair with a towel and came downstairs again. The butler and maid couldn't help but smile when they saw Ruan Ruan. They had noticed that since she arrived at the villa, the atmosphere had become much more relaxed.
Ruan Ruan noticed the towels on the table and her eyes lit up. She climbed onto the sofa, put her small head close to Little White's ear, and whispered something. Little White wagged its tail and ran over to the butler, softly barking and tugging at his pants.
The butler was taken aback by the little wolf cub at his feet. Did it want him to follow?
He walked over, and Ruan Ruan squinted her eyes, smiling at him. She pointed to the towels on the table.
The table was too high, and Ruan Ruan and Little White couldn't reach the towels. So, they sought help from the butler.
The butler blinked, looked at Mu Shen, who was deeply engrossed in work, and then pointed to himself, then at the towels, and finally at Ruan Ruan.
Ruan Ruan nodded eagerly with sparkling eyes.
The butler smiled and shook his head. He handed the white towel to Ruan Ruan.
The towel was quite large for her, making it hard for her to move.
"Thank you, sister. Ruan Ruan is already a big girl and can't be carried anymore. Only babies need to be carried. Ruan Ruan is strong enough to walk by herself."
After refusing the help, Ruan Ruan continued to hold the towel that trailed on the ground, hopping down the stairs with a serious expression.
The maid tried to pick her up several times, but Ruan Ruan firmly refused.
"Ruan Ruan is already a big girl and can't be carried. Only babies need to be held. Ruan Ruan can walk down on her own."
After refusing again, she continued holding the towel and hopped down the stairs, her little face serious.
The maid marveled at how much easier it was to handle Ruan Ruan now that she had arrived at the villa. The atmosphere seemed so much lighter.
Seeing the towels, Ruan Ruan's eyes lit up,
And she immediately crawled onto the sofa, leaning close to Little White's ear and whispering something. Little White wagged its tail and ran over to the butler, making small barking sounds and pulling at his pants.
The butler was taken aback by the little wolf cub at his feet. Did it want him to follow?
He walked over, and Ruan Ruan squinted her eyes, smiling at him. She pointed at the towels on the table.
The table was a bit high, and both Ruan Ruan and Little White couldn't reach the towels placed on it, so they had to seek help.
The butler blinked, glanced at the young master, who was fully focused on his work and rarely paid attention to what was happening outside, then pointed to himself, followed by the towels, and finally pointed at Ruan Ruan.
Ruan Ruan's eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded her little head.
The butler smiled and shook his head, then handed the white towel to Ruan Ruan.
