Chapter 1250: Together Forever

1250 Together Forever 2

He just smiled as he slowed down the horse and gently held her cold hands.

"Mr. Mu?" she called out to him when he kept quiet.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to say your name," she replied.

"I like it better when you call my name directly," he laughed and said suddenly.

In his impression, she hardly called him by his name. Instead, she always called him Mr. Mu.

She raised her eyebrows and gently called his name, "Mu Yuchen?"

He grinned happily before raising her arm and aimed at a point. "Good, I'll reward you with some game meat today. Hold still. The recoil of this rifle is pretty strong."

"Speaking of which, I heard you're a skilled marksman, hmm?" Xi Xiaye held the rifle steadily as she asked.

"Not as good as professional snipers. I'm alright," he said humbly.

Xi Xiaye smiled. Without any further questions, she looked at the position he was aiming at. Then, she noticed a furry ball in the midst of the bushes.

Was that a wild rabbit?

Xi Xiaye's eyes brightened as she heard the sound of Su Nan's chuckles from behind...

...

The man was pretty skilled, but Xi Xiaye did not want to actually hunt animals. They found somewhere vast and empty and set up some wood and aluminum cans and targets. After several practice shots, Xi Xiaye's arm started feeling numb.

"How long will we be staying over here? Is Li Si asking you to return to New York soon after the phone call last night?" She looked over at him who was busy loading up the gun.

He did not stop his movements. "We'll stay here for several more days. You'll return with Ruan Heng and Su Nan after three days. I'll arrange the flight tickets."

"What about you?" she asked.

"I'll still be in LA for a little while before returning to New York. It'll take some time. Don't worry. It won't take too long. I guess everything will be solved by the time I go back to City Z."

Mu Yuchen's expression softened. "Be careful when you're on your own. I suppose you're starting to miss our sons right now. You dreamt about them last night, didn't you?"

Her face blushed slightly and she sighed, "Of course, I miss them. There was nothing much for me to care about in the past. I wouldn't have minded traveling far away at all, but now..."

Suddenly, she looked at him quietly. "I miss you and our sons...I feel empty when I don't have all of you by my side..."

"It'll all be over soon. That day isn't too far away. Trust me," he said.

"As far as the situation goes..."

"Qi Lei called me this morning. Qi Qiming has found out what he's going to do. From what I know about Qi Feng, Qi Lei is going to have a hard time. I'll rush back as soon as I'm done helping Zimo," Mu Yuchen said calmly.

"You have to be careful as well. Morrison's sudden appearance here is likely not a coincidence. As for Zhou Zimo's matter, I suppose I won't ask too much about it, but tell me about it once it's all over, okay?"

He put down the rifle and wrapped her with his arms. "I don't mind telling you now to be honest. From the looks of what happened, it seems like Doris was involved. Adding the fact that Morrison showed up here, Qi Feng might be involved as well. And one other thing I mentioned before...Wang Qin's death is very unlikely to be an accident."

"What did you say? Wang Qin's death?" She almost forgot about it since it happened a long time ago because the police had not been able to find the perpetrator, but it had been weighing on Qi Lei ever since.

Mu Yuchen's expression darkened. "The investigation of the matter never stopped. You should at least know that, don't you?"

Xi Xiaye nodded. "Of course, Mother told me about it in private. I know Father has been applying pressure on the police, but didn't they say the perpetrator ran off to Australia? And we've got no news about him since, hence the matter got delayed?"

"That's right. The murderer did run off to Australia, but recently someone found tracks of him in LA. This reminds me that Qi Feng stayed in Australia before," Mu Yuchen said quietly.

Xi Xiaye's expression turned pale suddenly. She could not believe the thought that just flashed across her mind. "Australia? Qi Feng? Do you mean that Qi Feng might be behind Wang Qin's death? What about Gu Qiwu? Wasn't he the one trying to frame you back then?"

"While he is a ruthless person, I doubt he'd do that. I don't think he'd like to see Qi Feng biting him in the back, and I still have no idea what exactly happened to that killer. We can only find out once we catch that person."

"If that's the case, why would the killer appear here? And it just so happens that Morrison is here as well." Xi Xiaye frowned uneasily. "Does he have some kind of plan in mind? Towards Ah Bo or..."

"Ah Bo is tough. He knows that Morrison is here," Mu Yuchen comforted her.

"No matter what, you need to be careful. We don't know what he's trying to do."

"I know. Don't worry about it." His voice sounded firm, and she felt much calmer after looking into his eyes.

"Alright, I won't comment anything on it then."

"Mmm, here, let me teach you. Aim right there..."

They stopped talking about the problems as Mu Yuchen released her from his arms and put the rifle into her hands.

...

It had been a long time since they had fun together with Ruan Heng.

When Su Nan felt Ruan Heng right behind her, she suddenly thought that she would not mind for times like this to continue forever.

"I almost forgot how this feels. Ruan Heng, will we be able to stay like this forever?" Su Nan asked.

"Of course, Nan Nan..."
