Chapter 444: Chapter 444
Just as the servant left, a crisp, childish voice was heard, followed by a little boy of four or five years old who rushed in and ran straight towards Instructor Mu.
Instructor Mu had just hung up his coat when he saw the little boy rushing over. He bent down, caught him, and picked him up.
An Ran was left standing in place, as if struck by lightning, after hearing this little boy call Instructor Mu "Daddy."
Watching Instructor Mu pick up the little boy and look at him with gentle eyes, allowing the boy to kiss him on the cheek, An Ran felt even more uneasy.
At this moment, a tall woman in a wine-red woolen coat walked in from outside.
She saw the pair at the door and said to the boy, "Rong, come down now. You’re too big to be held by Daddy."
"No, Daddy is the strongest. Rong likes to be held by Daddy." The little boy clung to Instructor Mu’s neck and said coyly.
Instructor Mu smiled and said to the woman, "Since Rong wants to be held, let him be held for a while. It’s fine."
"You always spoil him," the woman said with a helpless smile, then continued, "Xingfeng, when did you come back? If you hadn’t sent something over, I wouldn’t have known you were back in the Imperial City."
"I’ve been back for a while, on vacation at home for the New Year," Instructor Mu said as he walked further into the house.
It was only then that the woman seemed to notice An Ran.

Instructor Mu, surprised to see An Ran still standing behind, introduced them when the woman inquired, "This is An Ran. An Ran, this is Wang Xia, and this is her son, Hairong."
An Ran’s heart sank when she heard Instructor Mu’s words.
Lately, whenever Instructor Mu introduced her to anyone, he always mentioned her as his girlfriend. But this time, he didn’t say it.
Previously, every time he introduced her as "my girlfriend," it made her blush and even resist at first. But now, his indifferent introduction made her feel a little lost.
Indeed, she wasn’t truly Instructor Mu’s girlfriend. Even though they had registered their marriage, it was all just a facade, merely a paper agreement between them.
What right did she have to interfere in Instructor Mu’s affairs?
Thinking of this, An Ran felt relieved again. She smiled and reached out her hand, "Hello."
Wang Xia also extended her hand, her face maintaining a gracious smile.
"Daddy, is this person the new servant?"
At this moment, Rong looked at An Ran and asked.
An Ran looked at the little boy and found that he was also looking at her, a hint of an inexplicable smile in his otherwise clear eyes, a kind of smile that didn’t match his age.
"No, you can call her Auntie Ran."
Instructor Mu said, placing Rong on the sofa. Just as he was about to call for Nanny Chen, he remembered she had gone back to the old house for the holiday and hadn’t come today. He looked up at An Ran and said, "Get some snacks from the fridge."
An Ran replied briefly, went to get the snacks, and Instructor Mu opened a bag of chips to placate Rong.
Rong took a chip and held it up to Instructor Mu’s mouth, "Daddy, you eat."
"This is for kids. Rong, you eat it." Instructor Mu said, declining.
Rong pouted, acting spoiled, "Daddy, try it. It’s really tasty."
Just as Instructor Mu was about to speak, Wang Xia intervened, "Rong, don’t bother Daddy. Daddy doesn’t like to eat these things, you eat it yourself."
