Chapter 240: Chapter 240: An Old and a Young
Mr. Mu looked at Little Reunion, who was smiling at him, filled with excitement, and asked Jiang Xue, "Jiang Xue, can I hold him?"
It’s often said that one holds grandchildren, not children. In his lifetime, Mr. Mu had never held either his son or grandson. Now, he insisted on holding his great-grandson.
"Of course you can." Jiang Xue smiled, taking Little Reunion from Mrs. Jiang’s hands, and then said to him, "Little Reunion, your great-grandfather wants to hold you, are you willing?"
Hearing this, Little Reunion glanced at Mr. Mu and then nodded.
Originally, Mr. Mu and the Lin Family Manager, who saw Jiang Xue talking to Little Reunion, thought her question was somewhat redundant. They wondered how a small child could understand, but then they saw Little Reunion nodding, and couldn’t help being surprised.
They thought to themselves, this child is so smart to understand adult words at such a young age.
Jiang Xue didn’t notice the surprise in their eyes. Seeing Little Reunion nod, she then placed him into Mr. Mu’s arms.
"Sir, shall I hold the young master instead?" Lin Zian, worried that Mr. Mu had never held a child and might not know how to, suggested.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Mu glared at him and said, "No need, I’ll do it myself."
What a joke! How could he let someone else hold his own great-grandson when he hadn’t even held him himself?
Lin Zian, having spent much time with Mr. Mu, couldn’t help but laugh, as he knew exactly what Mr. Mu was thinking.
He was only being thoughtful, as the master had never held a child, and he genuinely worried he might not know how.
However, when he saw Mr. Mu carefully picking up the child, he was surprised. He hadn’t expected Mr. Mu to be able to hold a child. Though his movements were a bit awkward, he could tell, he genuinely knew how to hold the child.
Little Reunion, held in Mr. Mu’s arms, immediately started a big eyes staring contest. His eyes were very lively, especially his pupils, which were as beautiful as ink jade.
Mr. Mu looked at Little Reunion and laughed, saying, "Not bad, you’ve got guts, daring to meet my gaze."
Even though Mr. Mu had purposely restrained his usual commanding presence, his eyes were still very intense. Most people didn’t dare to meet his gaze.
But Little Reunion, such a small child, dared to, which made Mr. Mu very happy. He felt that Little Reunion was indeed worthy of being his great-grandson, having such courage.
Little Reunion stared at Mr. Mu for a while, then his lips parted slightly into a smile, and he waved his hand at Mr. Mu, as if greeting him.
Seeing Little Reunion so adorable, it wasn’t just Mr. Mu, even Housekeeper Lin couldn’t help feeling envious and said to Mr. Mu, "Sir, the young master is truly lovable, he makes my hands itch."
"Stay out of this, I haven’t had enough cuddling time yet, when is it your turn?" Mr. Mu gave Housekeeper Lin a look, having only just started holding Little Reunion for less than two minutes, and he was not willing to let anyone else hold him.
If possible, he actually wanted to keep holding him like this. Moreover, he had already thought of taking Little Reunion to Beijing to make those old friends envious, so they wouldn’t show off in front of him.
So what if they had grandchildren? He now had a great-grandson.
Thinking this, Mr. Mu’s face showed a proud expression, then he looked down at Little Reunion and asked, "Little Reunion, would you be willing to go to Beijing with great-grandfather?"
As soon as these words came out, Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were shocked, raising their heads to look at Mr. Mu. Previously, when Jiang Xue introduced him, she only said he was Mr. Mu and didn’t elaborate.
But now, Mr. Mu was actually saying he wanted to take Little Reunion to Beijing. Could it be that Mr. Mu is from Beijing?
