Chapter 1678: Returning Home Late At Night (4)

Mu Lingshi's face was filled with tears as she listened...

Yes, she could not help but feel grateful for the blessings of the heavens. She felt truly happy now. So many people missed her. She floated in this world, going around in circles, but she also knew that the people she loved the most stood behind her.

It was often said that one had to lose to gain something. If all the misfortune and suffering in the past were for this moment, then she suddenly felt lucky. Perhaps those things did not matter at all?

Ah Mo hugged her even tighter as she leaned into his embrace and sobbed silently.

Ah Mo just took a deep breath and patted her shoulder gently. "Don't cry anymore. Everything is good now, just cherish it."

It was rare for Mu Lingshi to be so fragile. Even in difficult times, she might not cry like this. However, the more she felt like this, the more she could not control herself.

...

Mu Lingshi was not the only one who felt like that, Xi Xiaye, who was sitting in the car also felt the same way.

After they got into the car, the husband and wife did not say anything. Xi Xiaye just sat there and quietly watched the scenery outside the car window as it continuously retreated. Her gaze was a little absent-minded. The entire space seemed a little surreal as well.

Mu Yuchen just sat beside her and did not say anything. He gently leaned against the back of the chair behind him and was leisurely closing his eyes to rest. When he noticed the faint downcast mood that came from her beside him, he thought about it and then asked—

"What's wrong? Can't bear to part with them?"

A deep and emotional voice slowly sounded.

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye took a shallow breath. She propped her head by the car window as she said calmly, "I am a little reluctant to part with them, but when I see that they're doing well, I feel a lot more at ease. I just feel a little sad that they had to leave City Z and start a new life here. Hey, Mr. Mu, actually, if it were me, I might not have such courage."

"You don't have the courage because you wouldn't have me. Aren't you convinced that you can't leave me now?"

Mu Yuchen opened his eyes and glanced at her with a smile that Xi Xiaye could not understand.

She rolled her eyes at him. "You don't know that. Don't try to use this to pin me down."

"Don't you pin me down too?"

He smiled disapprovingly as he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.

Xi Xiaye obediently leaned into his embrace as she tugged at his tie. "If you're restless, even if I get ten dogs to watch you, it won't work."

"So, are you praising me?"

Mu Yuchen quickly caught the main point of her words.

Xi Xiaye just smiled without saying anything.

"It's been a long time since you praised me like that."

"I don't care if your narcissistic little universe is about to explode, but don't spoil the children. Don't forget your strict father's image. But, to be honest, you're more dignified in front of the children. Usually, even if I keep a straight face, it doesn't mean that the children are really scared. Why is your gaze so lethal?"

"A person's charisma isn't something that ordinary people can learn."

"You're really getting more narcissistic as you get older. When we hurry back tomorrow, let's go straight to the Mu residence. My son is over there, I miss them very much now. Last night, they called me and called to us for a long time, asking us when we'd be back..."

"Mmm, just let Li Si arrange it. Go back and rest early tonight. I still have work to finalize with President Li, it might get a little late. If it's late, you should rest first. You don't have to wait for me."

"We'll see. It's easy for me to lose sleep by myself," replied Xi Xiaye.

Mu Yuchen's eyes lit up as he looked down at her. His arms around her suddenly tightened as well.

...

"Qi Lei seems to have gone back today, right?"

Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered that Qi Lei had been very busy recently. Ever since he arrived in City B, she had almost never seen him idle. Every time she saw him, he was always busy. The two of them basically did not get to chat, she wondered how he was doing with his new wife, Miss Dongfang.

She was a dazzling woman. At least, in Xi Xiaye's eyes, she admired her from the bottom of her heart. However, it seemed like it was often that kind of woman whose hearts seemed especially cold. When was Qi Lei confident that she would fall in love with him?

Moreover, she did not hear about Qi Lei going after Dongfang Liuyun. How did this fate start just like that?

"Mmm, he should only arrive in City Z in the evening. He's been away for so long. With someone there, he naturally can't stay."

Mu Yuchen was hinting at something.

When XI Xiaye heard this, she immediately smiled and understood, "I was worried about him before, but now, I've finally seen him give himself up. Miss Dongfang is a pretty good person. If I were a man, I think I'd definitely be deeply attracted to her. I've only met her a few times, but every time I see her, it's always..."

"Then, I should be glad that you're not a man, or else..."

Before she could finish, Mu Yuchen had already glanced at her from the side, causing her to immediately stop speaking. She could not help but lower her gaze and clear her throat as she explained, "Mr. Mu, I'm just making a metaphor to express my personal appreciation."

"Alright, with your personality, even if you're an outstanding playboy, it doesn't mean that others will take a fancy to you. In the end, you still have to return to my side."

"How is that possible! My market demand isn't inferior to yours at all."

Xi Xiaye was obviously not convinced.

"What I said is also the truth. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun are actually quite suitable from my point of view. A person like Qi Lei isn't someone that just anyone can get. For example, if you were really given to Qi Lei back then, even after you get married, you might not be able to control him because even though your experiences are similar, in terms of personality..."

"I know..."

Before Mu Yuchen could finish, Xi Xiaye had already cut him off

"We were actually filled with negative energy back then. If we really got together, I'm afraid it would have just..."

In fact, she knew very clearly how it would have turned out.

"It's good that you know, but Dongfang Liuyun is different. The temperament and tenacity that she exudes is exactly what Qi Lei needs, and you need the same thing. I should be glad that there are still people who are compatible with each other in this world. They let us meet in the vast sea of people and not miss out on each other."

When Mu Yuchen said this, his tone was filled with an indescribable calmness...
