The Duke's little ancestor slipped away again

In the kitchen, three men who could be all-powerful in the business world were busy and orderly preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while the only two women in the family were leisurely watching variety shows on the sofa in the living room.

"Mumu, when are you going to meet Vaughan's family?"

Mother Mu glanced in the direction of the kitchen. Seeing that no one was looking over, she asked secretly in a low voice.

"His grandmother has met him a long time ago. As for the other people in his family, it's not the time yet. Let's wait."

"As long as you know what's going on, don't let his family think that our etiquette is not complete."

"Mom, don't worry, it won't happen."

Mu Mu coquettishly kissed Mu Mu's mother on the cheek. This scene happened to be caught by Mu's father who was walking over.

"You are so old, and you are still acting like a spoiled child with your mother."

"Dad, I'm only 23 years old after the Chinese New Year, okay? Do you dislike me so much? When you were not at home, I was always with my mother."

"Otherwise you think I would pamper you so much."

Dad Mu pulled his wife and sat between the two of them. His tall body directly blocked the sight of mother and daughter.

"Mother……"

"Mumu, your father is the person who will stay with me the longest in the rest of his life..."

The subtext is "He's right, he's right."

"Vaughn, you can elope with me."

Mu Mu looked at Vaughn, who was still in the kitchen, with despair.

"what happened?"

Vaughan wiped the water stains on his hands and walked towards his little girl curiously.

"My parents don't want me anymore. After this New Year's Eve dinner, you can elope with me. Don't worry, I'm easy to take care of. I just need to eat and drink enough."

"Okay, then remember to take your ID card and household registration book with you when you leave."

"why?"

Mu Mu was puzzled.

"Because he wants to trick you into extracting evidence while your head is hot."

Mu Jinqian’s “kind” reminder.

"really?"

"fool!"

"Hahaha……"

The whole family laughed at her confused appearance.

"Can't you rich people move people from the Civil Affairs Bureau back home?"

This time, Mu Mu was really puzzled.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is a government agency of the country. How can it allow you to take people home at will? Where did you hear that?"

Vaughan asked seriously while holding back his laughter.

"Is this how novels are written?"

Mu Mu immediately flipped through his phone and found a few novels he had read before.

"Look, that's really what they wrote."

"Eat more dumplings later."

Vaughn patted her hand distressedly. As for why he didn't kiss her forehead as a habit, it was of course because the elder was inconvenient...

"why?"

"Among tonight's meals, only the dumpling wrappers have a higher starch content."

Eat more starches – your brain needs sugar to think.

The scene of laughing at Bourne last time immediately appeared in Mu Mu's mind.

"You guys gang up to bully me, no, I'm going to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cake soon."

"Okay, I'll cook it for you later."

Vaughn rubbed her head lovingly.

"It's almost there."

The New Year's Eve dinner also consists of twelve dishes. In the past, four people celebrated the New Year, so each person ordered three dishes. This year, five people celebrated the New Year together. The three men took the initiative and only ordered two dishes each.

"The dishes have been prepared before, so the brown sugar glutinous rice cake can be eaten after the meal as a dessert."

"Well, actually I'll eat the same thing tomorrow."

"My little girl wants to eat today, of course she has to eat it today."

"What if I just can't eat it?"

Mu Mu suddenly wanted to know where his bottom line was.

"Apart from the fact that you were my accident, there is nothing that makes me embarrassed at the moment."

Vaughn still has this confidence.

"Vaughn, Happy New Year! Happy New Year to mom and dad! Happy New Year to brother!"

"Happy New Year everyone!"

The meal went on happily amidst laughter and laughter.

-

"Blue Whale, come over and eat some together."

In a small mountain forest outside the country, several men wearing camouflage clothes and oil paint on their faces were eating hot pot together.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat."

A tall man with a solemn face sat on a tree and looked into the distance.

"We have been out for a few months, and we have finally had a good meal. How can we continue to eat if you don't come?"

"Vulture, stop talking."

"Canglang, we all want to go back as soon as possible, but until the new order comes, we can only stick here, can't we?"

The man named Vulture put his hands on his hips and turned away angrily.

"Okay, let's all eat. Nothing will happen today."

The blue whale jumped down from the tree at some point.

The hot pot was still steaming, but several people were no longer in the mood to continue eating.

"Don't be stunned and eat quickly. It's rare to have such a rich meal."

And the richness in their mouths is just a pheasant, plus various wild mushrooms.

"Sorry, I was in a bad temper just now."

The vulture spoke first.

"I was also at fault, I shouldn't have made you anxious together."

The blue whale picked up a yellow mushroom and chewed it carefully.

"What's the matter? You're not a anxious person."

Canglang put down his chopsticks, picked up a few sticks and threw them into the fire.

"I seem to be a little uneasy these past few days. I always feel that something is going to happen, but there is nothing suspicious in the surroundings or even on the opposite side."

"Then eat quickly. When you're done, turn off the heat. Stay energetic tonight. We'll take turns keeping watch. We'll close the net soon. Don't let this last-minute kick get you back."

The vulture ate up the contents of the bowl with a thunderous roar, and then rushed to the big tree where the blue whale was squatting just now.

"Starting from the vulture, we will take turns to be on duty. Each of us will have an hour. Everyone should stay closer tonight to avoid any emergencies."

"Yes!"

The other people nodded and found a seat nearby to start resting.

In the second half of the night, drizzle began to fall in the sky, and everyone hurriedly got up and looked for shelter from the rain.

"Blue Whale, the rain came suddenly. The place where we sheltered from the rain was too far away from here. If it goes by, we won't have time to react if something happens here."

"...I remember that there is a cave about fifteen meters ahead on the left. It should be the residence of some kind of animal. Let's go there and try our luck. If they are not there, then it is best. If they are, then deal with it and try not to Making too much noise.”

Blue Whale carefully recalled the cave he passed when he went out to find food. If nothing else, it should be a wild bear's lair.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and several people walked quickly through the woods with the sound of rain, and soon arrived at the location mentioned by the blue whale.

"I'll go in and take a look first. If I don't come out in three minutes, then you can go find another place to take shelter from the rain."

"Blue Whale, it's better for me to go. You are the team leader of this operation."

A shorter man came out from behind.

"Seabird."

"I have been an animal trainer before, so I know how to communicate with animals better than you."

"careful!"

Three minutes, to those waiting outside, seemed like a century.

"Blue Whale, we..."

"Waiting for two minutes, I believe the seabirds can."

A minute later, the sound of fast running came from the cave.

"Run!!!"
