4764 Never Too Late to Love (171)
At the Mu family residence.
Mu Yichen dialed Mu Yueyao’s cell phone number for the 154th time, but it was turned off. This time round, he was really furious. What was going on? Did her phone run out of battery? No matter how many times he called, Mu Yueyao refused to pick up the phone.
Ever since she came back from Hong Kong, it was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth. No one knew where she had gone. It was ridiculous! Although Mu Yichen knew that nothing would happen to his little sister, he was still worried.
Just as he was getting anxious, Mu Yazhe came home.
The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Mu Yichen holding his phone with a darkened expression, like an impending storm. He smiled as he asked lightly, “Is your little sister not back yet?”
“Uh… uh huh.” The boy was clearly feeling a little guilty. He felt that it was his responsibility for not having taken good care of Mu Yueyao.
Mu Yazhe raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Mu Yueyao had gone missing for three days and three nights. Even if she was fooling around, it should be enough!
“Did you search for her?”
The older twin nodded helplessly. “I did.”
“Have you told her second brother?”
“No. I didn’t dare tell Youyou. He’s probably still at the hospital with Natalia. I didn’t want to alarm him with this matter.” Mu Yichen paused for a moment before sighing helplessly. “I’m thinking, although she’s naughty and unreasonable, she shouldn’t have gone so overboard, right?! She disappeared as soon as she returned from Hong Kong. I have no idea where she went!As he spoke, he got angry again. But beyond being angry, he was worried.
“Why are you so anxious?” Mu Yazhe, on the other hand, did not look too concerned. Obviously, he should be the most worried person at this point, yet he appeared calm and composed.
Mu Yichen was rather surprised. “Dad, aren’t you worried?”
“Why worry?” He casually asked, “Hasn’t your precious little sister been this willful since she was young?”
“But there must be a limit to her willfulness!” The boy crossed his arms in anger. “This is too much! She doesn’t even come home now. What does she want then?!”
Mu Yazhe’s handsome brows arched slightly as he blurted out, “At the end of the day, you’re the one who spoiled her!”
Mu Yichen was rendered speechless. He looked at his father coldly and lamented quietly, “Among the few of us, you seem to dote on Little Sister the most and spoil her the most.”
“Uh huh.” Mu Yazhe did not deny it at all. “I dote on her. Do you have a problem with that?”
Mu Yichen was knocked back yet again. He did not dare to contradict his father. Although he had grown up, the man was still an awe-inspiring father to him.
The older twin sighed.
He knitted his brow tightly and said, “Don’t worry about this matter anymore. Go and rest early!”
“Then… what about Little Sister?”
“I’ll find her.”
The boy furrowed his brow and hesitated for a moment. He was compelled to say, Daddy, if you find Little Sister, please don’t take offense if she argues with you. She’s been in a bad mood in recent days.”
Mu Yazhe did not comment on this and merely said, “Go to sleep early.”
“Alright.” Mu Yichen returned to his room. This was because he knew that his father had made a decision.
Ever since she was young, Mu Yueyao would habitually run away from home when she was upset. Every time, only Mu Yazhe could find her. Moreover, the two of them had a tacit understanding of where she had gone to hide.
