When Mu Xin Nuan arrived at the front hall, she saw a young man dressed in a light blue brocade robe standing outside the door, wearing a small jade crown on his head. He was very handsome.

Upon seeing Mu Xin Nuan, the young man smiled and took two steps forward to greet her, his eyes filled with surprise and delight. "Is that A Nuan?"

Mu Xin Nuan nodded, her mind racing as she wondered who this person was. She had no recollection of ever seeing him in either her past or present life!

"Don't you remember me, A-Nuan?" Seeing the confusion in Mu Xin Nuan's eyes, the boy smiled and said, "I am Chu Rong, do you remember me?"

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, and Mu Qing Xuan beside her naturally didn't recognize this person either!

Chu Rong looked slightly disappointed. "You really don't remember me? I even held you when you were little! Think again, I even made kites for you!"

Mu Xin Nuan's smile widened. "Of course I remember! Brother Chu Rong made a total of five kites for A Nuan! How could A Nuan not remember?"

In fact, when he mentioned kites, Mu Xin Nuan suddenly remembered that when she was little, she loved to pester an older boy to fly kites with her. Wasn't that the boy in front of her?

However, in her previous life, after they parted ways, she seemed to have never seen him again. How could so many things have changed in this life?

"Does Ah Nuan really still remember me?"

“Of course!” Anuan nodded emphatically. “Brother Chu Rong is taller and thinner than Qianqian! Anuan remembers that Brother Chu Rong used to be a little chubby! He was so cute and adorable.”

Chu Rong felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this. What did he mean by "cute"? Was she sure he was praising her and not belittling her?

Mu Qingxuan then leaned closer, looking up at him with a scrutinizing gaze. Moreover, at some point, he found himself standing in front of Mu Xinnuan, shielding the woman, who was clearly taller than him, behind him.

"who are you?"

“I am Chu Rong. You were even younger when I left the capital. If you have any impression of me, that would be a bit too far-fetched. Anuan probably only remembers a vague image of me, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have failed to recognize me just now.”

Mu Xin Nuan felt slightly embarrassed. When they were little, she often pestered this person to play with her, but now the person recognized her at a glance, while she had almost completely forgotten about them. If he hadn't mentioned the kite, she probably wouldn't have remembered them at all!

"Why is Brother Chu Rong outside? Why don't you come in and talk?" Mu Xin Nuan changed the subject.

"It's nothing. I just heard from Uncle Mu that someone had gone to invite you. I got a little anxious and wanted to see if you had grown taller and prettier, so I waited here."

Mu Xin Nuan blushed. "Brother Chu Rong, please come inside. Don't let Father say that A Nuan doesn't know how to treat guests."

"it is good!"

As soon as the three of them stepped into the front hall, they heard the two of them burst into laughter. Mu Xin Nuan glanced at him and saw a middle-aged man dressed in light gray casual clothes. He looked very heroic, especially his eyes, which were very sharp!

"Anuan, Axuan, come and pay your respects to your Uncle Chu."

"Greetings to Uncle Chu." The two were obedient and bowed directly.

"Alright! Good child! Please, no need for such formalities! Uncle Chu is a rough man, there's no need for such formalities." Chu Qinghe said, but his eyes kept glancing at Mu Xinnuan without any attempt to hide it. "Brother Mu, your daughter has grown more and more beautiful! She's even more beautiful than your wife! I wonder if she's betrothed yet?"

Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback, her body stiffening, unsure whether to cry or laugh. Who asks if someone has a husband the first thing they meet?

Mu Chang'an was also taken aback. He knew that Chu Qinghe was straightforward, but he didn't expect that he would ask about his daughter's marriage.

Chu Rong sensed the awkward atmosphere in the room and laughed, "Father, how can you do this? Little Nuan is still young. If I remember correctly, she's only ten years old this year, right? Besides, she's just a little girl. Aren't you afraid of scaring her by staring at her like that?"

After saying that, he turned to Mu Xin Nuan and said, "Anuan, don't be afraid. My father has always been like this. He just came back from the border, and he still has that cold and stern aura about him. Just pretend that he didn't ask anything."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe's face darkened, and his eyes glared. "You brat! If it weren't for you, why would I be asking this? Forget it! I don't want to get involved in your children's affairs!"

Hearing this, Mu Chang'an felt a little happy. The Chu family was also a family of heroes and generals. In terms of background, they were much higher than the Mu family. Now, it seemed that Chu Qinghe had taken a liking to his Anuan. It was not necessarily a bad thing!

Looking at Chu Rong, he is also handsome, and I heard that he made a significant contribution at the border this time. How old is he? His future prospects are probably limitless! If my Ah Nuan could marry into the Chu family, especially as the eldest son, it would be a great honor for her!

“Brother Chu is right. Why should we trouble ourselves with children’s affairs? Ah Rong, since you’re here, let Ah Nuan take you to the backyard to pay your respects to the elders. Also, tell your aunt about your mother’s situation; she’s very concerned.”

"Yes, Uncle Mu, then I will go and pay my respects to the elders."

"Yes, Nuan, take good care of Rong. You used to bother him a lot when you were little."

"Yes, father."

Having been married in her previous life, how could Mu Xin Nuan not understand that her father intentionally wanted them to visit each other more? Without making it clear, she pretended to be ignorant and led Chu Rong to pay his respects to the elders.

Finally, they went to Jinyuan. At that moment, Madam Li was watching Mu Qingyuan practicing calligraphy alone on the couch.

It's strange, really. In his previous life, Mu Qingyuan clearly detested literature and calligraphy, but in this life, he seems to have been bewitched by something, and he values ​​literature and history very much. Moreover, every day after school, he would spend half an hour practicing calligraphy at Li's place.

Even when he went out to play, he didn't forget to practice calligraphy as soon as he got back.

As soon as Mu Qingyuan returned to Jinyuan, he told Li about everything that had happened outside. Li was surprised, not because her daughter was particularly clever, but because she could clearly hear from his words that this illegitimate son was somewhat disdainful of Mu Xinyao, while clearly showing some favoritism towards Anuan!

Thinking about how good Ah Nuan had been to him, it seems her efforts hadn't been in vain. It seems her daughter's foresight was indeed remarkable; in such a short time, Ah Yuan's attitude towards her had become many times more respectful than before. While she herself had certainly put in effort, without Ah Nuan's repeated reminders, she probably wouldn't have thought of this at all!

"Madam, the eldest young lady and the eldest young master have brought the eldest son of the Chu family to pay their respects to you."
