"This book was given to me by my mother. All the stories in it are my favorites." Standing on tiptoe, Zheng Zihao took a book from the first shelf of the bookcase and ran back to Mu Ningxi.

Taking the book handed over by Zheng Zihao, Mu Ningxi rubbed his little head with satisfaction. His willingness to open his heart to her proved that what she had just said had worked.

A faint sense of accomplishment arose in Mu Ningxi's heart.

"I want to hear this story." Zheng Zihao leaned against Mu Ningxi, gently turning the pages of the book with his little hands, pointing to a story on it and asked her.

Mu Ningxi nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay, Auntie will tell you this story."

"In a distant farm, there is a..." Mu Ningxi's gentle voice sounded in the room.

"Wow, that's great, the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful white swan." After telling the story, Zheng Zihao exclaimed.

Mu Ningxi rubbed his hair again and looked at little Zheng Zihao with a smile on her face. It’s great that you finally look like a child.

"Zihao, it's too late. Your aunt is about to come back. I'll come to see you when I have time." Glancing out the dark window, Mu Ningxi said goodbye to Zheng Zihao softly.

After being here for such a long time, Jingjing and the others must have become impatient. Mu Ningxi wanted to go out and explain things to them and then go home.

"I don't want it. I want you to stay with me." Zheng Zihao held Mu Ningxi's hand with a stubborn look on his face.

Mu Ningxi was stunned when she didn't expect Zheng Zihao to make this request. After a while, she came to her senses and stared into Zheng Zihao's eyes with a gentle tone:

"Zihao, I still have some work to do at home, so I have to go back to work overtime. Be good, I will come to see you when I am free."

Zheng Zihao stared at Mu Ningxi suspiciously, as if wondering whether what she said was true.

Mu Ningxi smiled faintly and looked back at him, with a calm expression.

She did have a lot of things on her computer, and although she didn't have to work overtime tonight to finish them, it wasn't a lie to say that.

"Wow, you're lying. What you just said was all lies. You're just like my grandparents, making up stories to make me happy. I won't believe you anymore."

Just when Mu Ningxi thought that Zheng Zihao would listen to her, he suddenly burst into tears, blaming Mu Ningxi while crying.

Mu Ningxi was overwhelmed. How could the child be so fickle and difficult to deal with? It was more frustrating than going to work.

"Zihao, don't cry. Auntie promises that I will stay with you tonight." Mu Ningxi had no choice but to compromise.

"Are you serious?" Zheng Zihao immediately stopped crying and looked at Mu Ningxi with tearful eyes, somewhat unconvinced.

Mu Ningxi nodded heavily and said firmly: "Auntie will definitely do what she promised you, but I have been here for so long, grandma and auntie don't know your situation and will be worried. I will go out and tell them."

"I'll go tell them that I want you to stay with me." Zheng Zihao tilted his head and thought about it. He seemed to understand that if he said this, his grandmother would definitely agree.

People are as big as little devils.

An idiom flashed through Mu Ningxi's mind.

When the door opened, the first person that caught Mu Ningxi's eyes was her mother-in-law Zhu Jingya.

Seeing the door was opened, Zhu Jingya hurried forward.

"Grandma, I want this aunt to stay with me tonight." Zheng Zihao walked up to Zhu Jingya and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Jingya looked at her precious grandson, then at Mu Ningxi, with a somewhat conflicted expression.

Not knowing what the other party meant, Mu Ningxi did not take the initiative to express his opinion.

This kind of wealthy family is extremely wary. If she takes the initiative to agree, she doesn't know what the other party will think. Will they think that she is using Zheng Zihao as a stepping stone to get other benefits?

Why was I so careless before? I was so busy going in to comfort Zihao that I didn’t even pay attention to such basic common sense.

Standing next to Zheng Zihao, Mu Ningxi regretted her previous recklessness.

"Grandma, please agree to me!" Seeing that Zhu Jingya was reluctant to express her opinion, Zheng Zihao became anxious and begged.

"Zihao, of course grandma is willing, but I don't know if auntie is willing?" After saying that, Zhu Jingya turned her gaze to Mu Ningxi.

Before Mu Ningxi could speak, Zheng Zihao answered first: "I have already asked my aunt, she is willing."

"Really?" Zhu Jingya seemed to be asking Zheng Zihao, but her eyes were still looking at Mu Ningxi. Her tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.

"Yes, I have promised Zihao that I will stay with him tonight." At this time, Mu Ningxi could no longer act like an ostrich.

She has a clear conscience and can let others think whatever they want. She can't stop them from thinking that.

Besides, she and Huo Beichen were only husband and wife in name only. It was hard to say whether she would recognize her mother-in-law in the future. Why should she consider so much now?

After figuring it out, Mu Ningxi felt very calm.

Zhu Jingya nodded, turned around and ordered: "Go and help Miss Mu prepare a change of clothes and bedding."

The servants took orders and left.

"Ningxi, thank you for your help tonight." Cheng Jingjing was very grateful when she saw Mu Ningxi agreed to stay with Zheng Zihao.

Unexpectedly, Zihao would like Ning Xi so much. Is this the legendary fate? Is it destined by God that my cousin would marry Ning Xi?

Cheng Jingjing fully demonstrates her romance as an actor.

"Aunt, I'm going to Bincheng to film tomorrow, and I haven't packed my luggage yet. If you're fine, I'll leave first." Seeing that Zheng Zihao was fine, Cheng Jingjing said goodbye.

Seeing that she had something important to do, Zhu Jingya hurriedly urged Cheng Jingjing to hurry up.

As soon as Cheng Jingjing left, the servants came upstairs with the things Zhu Jingya had asked for.

"Ms. Mu, these clothes were left here by Jingjing. She bought them but never wore them once. Your body shape is similar to hers, so you should be able to wear them." Zhu Jingya handed a set of pajamas and some daily clothes to Mu Ningxi.

Mu Ningxi took it, smiled and said "Thank you."

"It's getting late. Please take Zihao to rest early. I won't disturb you." Zhu Jingya said with a smile and left.

After returning to the room, with the help of Mu Ningxi, Zheng Zihao took a shower and went to bed. He pestered Mu Ningxi to tell him another story before he fell asleep peacefully.

After Zihao fell asleep, Mu Ningxi took a shower, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, but she couldn't close her eyes.

The world is so wonderful. I actually came to Huo Beichen's house, and now I even sleep with his nephew. It feels incredible just to think about it.

Mu Ningxi tossed and turned in bed a few times. Fearing that she would wake up Zheng Zihao, she simply got up and got out of bed.

Walking to the window and looking at the courtyard under the moonlight, Mu Ningxi felt a dreamlike beauty.

Putting on his coat, Mu Ningxi tiptoed to open the door and walked out.

Mu Ningxi closed the door gently, looked back and said silently in his heart, "left side".

Since she was a child, she had trouble remembering the way. Worried that she wouldn't be able to find Zheng Zihao's room when she came back, she specifically memorized the direction of the room.

With the help of the light from her cell phone, Mu Ningxi slowly walked downstairs. The hall was dark and everyone had gone to bed.

Walking out of the gate, Mu Ningxi headed towards the yard outside.

Sitting on a swing in the yard, Mu Ningxi slowly swung the swing, and her memories drifted far away.

When she was a child, she was bullied by other children in kindergarten because she fought for the swing. When her father found out, he made a small swing for her in the corner of the yard at home.

After dinner every day is Mu Ningxi's happiest time.

Her father rocked the swing for her, and her mother sat beside them watching them. The family was having a great time.

Mom and Dad, are you the ones rocking the swing for me?

The swing swung slowly, and Mu Ningxi felt her parents return to her side.

The night wind made Mu Ningxi feel a little cold. After playing for a while, she reluctantly went back to the house.

"Left, left." Walking up to the second floor, Mu Ningxi silently recited the direction he had just memorized and turned open the door of the room at the very end of the second floor on the left.
