Qiao Wan and Xu Shu were arguing over their eyes, and Ah Qiao was puzzled: "Miss, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Qiao Wan was instantly deflated: "Nothing is wrong."

Xu Shu said, "Since there is nothing else, I will leave."

After saying that, he was about to leave with Mu Jinghua on his back. Ah Qiao's eyelids jumped and he quickly held him back: "No, no, no!"

Xu Shu looked at him coldly, and he retracted his hand in fear, but still whispered: "Our young master is still here... Young master, say something, young master."

Mu Jinghua was pretending to sleep, and Ah Qiao's voice was indeed low, so Xu Shu interrupted him: "What do you mean your young master? This is obviously my little husband."

"Ah?" Ah Qiao was stunned and looked at Qiao Wan helplessly, "Miss, I should be right."

Qiao Wan also knew that it was impossible to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep, so she followed Xu Shu's lead and said, "What do you want?"

"Take my husband to bed." Xu Shu answered truthfully, and at first glance he seemed quite cooperative.

Qiao Wan just felt overwhelmed.

"Take your husband to bed?" Her voice rose two tones, and she was almost cursing with her face.

Xu Shu, however, rebuked her: "Little Mujin is still asleep."

Qiao Wan: ...

Do you really think I don't know he's pretending to be asleep?

But then Mu Jinghua opened his eyes dazedly, pretending to be woken up by her, and asked in a hoarse voice with a surprised tone: "Qiao Wan? Why are you here?"

"Sir." Qiao almost cried with joy, "You finally woke up. This man said you are..."

"Husband." Mu Jinghua called Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at A Qiao's petrified expression and responded calmly, "Be good, let's go home."

"No, no, no!" Ah Qiao bravely grabbed Xu Shu's sleeve, "You can't take me away, young master. Why do you call this man your husband?"

Ah Qiao's tone was sad, and he almost cried: "I know you and General Qiao don't get along, and there is a grudge between you, but you can't just go with..."

He paused, thinking of a suitable word to address Xu Shu, "Leaving with such a human trafficker."

"Human trafficker?" Xu Shu savored the word carefully, and instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "It's quite apt."

Then he shook off A Qiao and left, leaving only one sentence: "Go back and tell your general that the young master has been kidnapped by human traffickers."

"Young Master!" A Qiao was furious and wanted to chase Xu Shu, but was stopped by Qiao Wan.

He looked at Qiao Wan in confusion, and saw Qiao Wan shaking her head at him: "No, you can't afford to offend this person, so go tell Qiao Jianhong."

After all, she was still the young lady of the Qiao family. Qiao had to listen to her, so he could only nod dejectedly.

Xu Shu carried Mu Jinghua on his back and walked a long way. Mu Jinghua came closer and asked him, "Is this really okay?"

"Qiao Jianhong didn't force you to live in Qiao's house after you came to Beijing, right?" Xu Shu comforted him, "You are cooperating with him now, and you are not being coerced by him. Why do you have to listen to him in everything?"

Mu Jinghua hummed, and subconsciously felt that what Xu Shu said made sense.

Whatever Xu Shu said made sense.

He comforted himself like this, leaned forward and kissed Xu Shu, then laughed foolishly twice before saying, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Shu understood what he meant, and his heart ached: "I have an idea."

He said, "Before Qiao Jianhong can react, let's go to Bai Mansion, which is your maternal grandfather's home."

"You were not in the capital originally, so it was a bit presumptuous of me to go there alone. I just borrowed the reputation of Muyi Building to send a small gift, and I didn't reveal the relationship."

"What's the relationship?" Mu Jinghua asked knowingly, staring at Xu Shu's profile.

Xu Shu was choked by his question, and then laughed: "Little rascal, what relationship are you talking about?"

"I don't know." Mu Jinghua pretended to be dumb, "Are you talking about the relationship between me and my grandfather?"

"No." When it comes to teasing, Xu Shu is much better than Mu Jinghua. "It's you and I. Our love affair is fleeting. We haven't even gotten married yet..."

"What are you talking about..." Mu Jinghua was so scared that she quickly covered his mouth, "Don't tell Grandpa that we have already..."

"Already what?" Xu Shu also started to play dumb.

"You bad guy." Mu Jinghua was so angry at this sentence that he started to make a scene on Xu Shu's back, "I won't let you carry me anymore, bad guy!"

"Good boy, good boy." Xu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The longer they knew each other, the more his little Mu Jin acted like a child. He had to coax her and said, "Let your husband carry you. He wants to carry you."

"Isn't he my husband?" Mu Jinghua suddenly felt disappointed. "If we could get married earlier, Qiao Jianhong wouldn't have forced me to come to Beijing to marry that stupid emperor."

"It doesn't matter."

It was very common for the emperor to steal other people's wives.

"But if you want to call me husband earlier." Xu Shu started teasing him again, "Why don't we meet our grandfather tonight and ask him to witness it."

"Although it's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words." Xu Shu said, "It doesn't matter if we invite our grandparents."

"That's not good..." Mu Jinghua suddenly became nervous, "Besides, I haven't met my grandfather yet. I wonder if he...will dislike me."

"Grandpa will definitely like you." Xu Shu stopped and said, "We are almost there."

"Ah?" Mu Jinghua was a little caught off guard. Looking at the large plaque in front of the door, he hugged Xu Shu nervously, "Then put me down first?"

Xu Shu felt his strength and couldn't help but laugh helplessly: "If you are afraid, you can just pretend to sleep like you did just now."

"This is so bad." Mu Jinghua muttered, "After all, he is my grandfather, my father's... Xu Shu! The doorman is here."

"Don't be afraid." Xu Shu patted his hands and put him down first, then he bowed to the doorman and said, "Please help me pass on the message that the owner of Muyi Building wants to see you."

Muyi Building has been gaining popularity in Beijing recently, so the concierge didn't treat him badly. He just glanced at Mu Jinghua with a bit of confusion, and then said, "Please wait a moment."

Xu Shu nodded in agreement, acting like a gentleman.

Seeing him like this, Mu Jinghua straightened his back unconsciously, but as soon as the doorman left, he complained in a low voice: "If the doorman tells my grandfather that we were arguing like that just now..."

"When did you become a scholar?" Xu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mu Jinghua was not a person who cared so much about details before.

Mu Jinghua snorted: "You're still talking about me, why did you act like that just now?"

"What did I do wrong?" Xu Shu chuckled at him, "Isn't this how I always treat people?"

That's true. Mu Jinghua was speechless for a moment.

Xu Shu is indeed so gentle and polite to others.

But he didn't say anything, Xu Shu had something to say: "Besides, I have to meet the elders anyway, I have to behave well and try to leave a good impression on my grandfather so that he will agree to marry you to me."

"If your grandfather doesn't agree, you won't marry him?" Mu Jinghua kicked him lightly.
