“That’s why you don’t have to worry about anything, Grandfather.”
Xi Xiaye found herself empathizing with Mu Yinan’s feelings. After going through so much together, it must have been a really tough period of time for him.
“Ah Chen and you have to stay together from now on too. I’m sure you know him really well now after being married for two years. I guarantee that he will make you happy.”
“I know, Grandfather.”
“We’ve been married for fifty over years. My heart has been empty after she left. Although we argued with each other from time to time, that was the life I loved.” Mu Yinan stared into space blankly as he spoke.
Mu Yinan chatted a lot after that. Mu Yuchen had Ah Mo bring him back to his room as they came down. Meanwhile, Mu Xiaocheng had already fallen asleep.
Mu Yuchen carefully took Mu Xiaocheng from Xi Xiaye’s arms. “Be careful. Let me hold you…He feels heavier now…”
“Don’t wake him up.”
Xi Xiaye grabbed the car keys on the coffee table as she turned towards Sis Wang. “Sis Wang, please stay here for the time being. I’ll be fine with Aunt Lin around. Please take care of Grandfather and Lingshi.”
“Don’t worry, Missus, I will.” Sis Wang was a gentle and kind person, and Xi Xiaye was relieved to have her around.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“You guys should head back soon. It’s getting late.”
Xi Xiaye nodded and handed the stuff to the bodyguard nearby before the family of three then left the Mu residence.
It was almost 11 p.m. when they arrived at Maple Residence. Xi Xiaye quickly gave Mu Xiaocheng a quick shower before taking one herself.
When she came out of the shower refreshed 20 minutes later, she heard the voice of the baby squealing when she stepped out. She looked over to see the two of them playing on the bed.
Mu Yuchen seemed to be playing a game on the tablet while Mu Xiaocheng sat on his lap and watched intently.
Xi Xiaye went downstairs and grabbed some warm milk the servant had prepared before going back up. She let them both drink a little and proceeded to sleep after that.
Mu Xiaocheng was really close to Mu Yuchen, so he wanted his father to hold him as he lay on the bed. Then, Mu Xiaocheng slept in his arms, and his wife ended up being separated from him with their son in between them.
Xi Xiaye looked at the two of them. Mu Xiaocheng did not look like he would be sleeping anytime soon. He glanced between Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye as he mumbled to himself.
“I noticed that he’s beginning to stand when he holds onto something. He might be able to start standing on his own after a month or two, this little guy is pretty strong. I remember he weighed six kilograms when he was born.” Xi Xiaye chuckled when she saw the gentle gaze Mu Yuchen had for their son.
“He’s just a little too naughty, unlike me at all.” Mu Yuchen smiled as he held the little guy’s hand. “When are you going to grow up? I can worry less if you can start walking and talking.”
“We’ll have other worries when he grows up. We’ll be getting old by the time he enters school. On one end, I hope time passes faster. On the other hand, I’m worried that we might be getting old too quickly. What Grandfather told me tonight made me think about our future.”
Mu Yuchen took a pause before looking at her. “We definitely won’t suffer like them.”
“How can you be so sure? We might have an even tougher times than them, I just hope our children won’t worry us too much…”
“I’ll fix them if they get naughty!”
…
Although he rejected Gu Qiwu’s invitation the last time, he still came over.
There were two luxurious black cars parked by the roadside and Ah Yong was standing outside.
Mu Yuchen frowned when the car suddenly stopped. He looked up as Li Si in the front passenger seat who had turned his head around.
“Master, it’s Gu Qiwu’s people. They seem to be waiting for you!”
Mu Yuchen looked forward and noticed Ah Yong coming near, but the bodyguards from the car in the back stopped him.
Mu Yuchen gave it some thought as his eyes darkened before he said, “Go down and find out what they want.”
“Yes, Master!”
Li Si got out of the car while Mu Yuchen returned to looking through his documents.
Moments later, Li Si came back with Ah Yong. He knocked on the window and Ah Yong stepped forward as the window rolled down.
“Morning, Chairman Mu, our boss has been waiting here for a long time, hoping to have a good discussion with you.”
“Master?” Li Si sounded worried.
Mu Yuchen raised his head and looked at Li Si. “Tell him to meet at the usual spot.”
He then told the chauffeur to start driving, and Li Si quickly returned into the car as well.
…
An hour later, in a field in the west.
Mu Yuchen was not fond of meeting Gu Qiwu, but since he came all the way here, they might as well talk it out.
Gu Qiwu just got out of the hospital. He looked pretty weak overall, and there were some bruises on the back of his hand from the insertion of the needles. Compared to before, he also seemed much older.
The sun at 9 a.m. was pretty comfortable, and the weather was not as hot as before, so it was a good start to the day.
As Gu Qiwu and Mu Yuchen stood side by side, the older man could sense the coldness from Mu Yuchen. Still, neither initiated the conversation…
