Chapter 1573

Mu Lingchuan’s question was met with no response from Mu Xiaojiu, who instead asked, “What does it mean for this girl named Zimo to move into the Mu family?”

Mu Lingchuan let out a sigh of relief—it turned out to be about this.

Could it be that Uncle is unhappy about an outsider moving into the Mu family?

Previously, when he arranged for others to move in, there hadn’t been such a strong objection.

“It doesn’t mean anything.

She’s my personal bodyguard, and moving in is just for my personal protection.”

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly asked, “What do you think of this girl?”

Mu Lingchuan was taken aback, and when he realized, his face instantly flushed with a tinge of red.

He felt a bit embarrassed.

This was the first time Uncle had asked him such a question.

When with Uncle, they never discussed girls—only work, only serious matters.

Today’s Uncle was acting strange.

But because Mu Xiaojiu asked, he couldn’t just not answer.

After thinking it over, he spoke vaguely about his feelings toward Zimo.

“She’s alright, I guess. Anyway, I don’t dislike her. I feel she isn’t the type to chase vanity. She’s different from those other girls outside, a bit special.”

After he finished speaking, Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze fell upon his eyes, as if wanting to discern how he really felt.

“Girls outside? How many girls do you know?” Mu Xiaojiu said blandly.

Mu Lingchuan realized he might have misspoken and quickly explained, “No, no, I’m just making a comparison.”

“Different, yet special?”

Mu Xiaojiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “I think she’s nice. Why not marry her.”

Xiaxia’s friends—particularly those she holds dear—shouldn’t have too questionable a character.

Of course, excluding Ning Anran.

Over the years, he asked himself if he could still judge people accurately.

Zimo and Ning Anran are not the same kind of people, although he actually hadn’t paid Zimo much attention either.

Anyway, if the girl likes someone, then they’re good.

But marriage…

“What did you say, Uncle?” Mu Lingchuan was stunned, not quite processing at first.

When he did, he was a bit frightened and quickly shook his head.

“Impossible, I’ve never even considered marriage. Uncle, your imagination is too wild.”

Never considered it?

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze turned cold, letting out a snort.

“A man must take responsibility for what he’s done. You need to think it over carefully.”

There’s already a child, yet he still refuses to marry.

What will happen when the child is born?

The Mu family bloodline—how can it lack status?

With a cold huff, Mu Xiaojiu no longer paid attention to Mu Lingchuan and headed straight upstairs.

Clearly, Uncle was angry.

Mu Lingchuan was left dumbfounded, a bit unclear about the situation.

He couldn’t recall doing anything.

Why was Uncle suddenly upset?

The idea of marrying Zimo…

it wasn’t entirely out of the question, at least he wasn’t opposed to it.

But wasn’t it too sudden?

Does Uncle think that bringing Zimo back meant he intended to marry her?

Marriage…

he had honestly never thought about it.

He always felt he wasn’t old enough.

At twenty-five, isn’t a man still quite young?

Even if you really want to marry, shouldn’t you date for a few years first?

It’s not about shirking responsibility, just hadn’t thought about it…

He pondered deeply, unable to make sense of why Uncle suddenly took an interest in his business with Zimo.

However, knowing Uncle’s personality, if he wasn’t happy, asking him wouldn’t yield any answers.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu heading upstairs, Mu Lingchuan hesitated for a moment before also stepping forward to follow him.
