After Ji Zitong’s words, Su Chen’s expression eased up a little. He fell silent for a moment before he said—

“I’m just afraid that he’ll really be all alone. Ah Chen and I are already married, he’ll definitely feel helpless and lonely! We’ve never left him out whenever we did anything, this time it’s the same, of course we’ll have to nudge him more.”

Su Chen was actually very worried about Zhou Zimo. To be honest, he was really worried about the few of them. Indeed, Zhou Zimo was an idiot. Mu Yuchen was a deep and shrewd person. Su Chen was not too bad, but Zhou Zimo might not be, although he seemed to be playing well on the field, in reality, his temper might not be as good as Su Chen and Mu Yuchen’s.

“But even if you want to control it now, it’s useless.”

Ji Zitong rolled her eyes at him.

“I know. Am I not troubled right now? I’m more anxious as the observer than the one involved! I thought things weren’t that serious before. You saw how Grandfather Zhou was like just now. He’s also worried to death because of this matter. He’s using all sorts of methods. This time, he’s really fallen sick. His heart is burning with anxiety, just like my old man at home. It’s not too good.”

Su Chen’s tone was filled with helplessness. “I do regret nudging him too late. If not, perhaps now…”

“Don’t worry, if worrying could resolve the problem then I won’t stop you! He knows what to do, we’ll see how it goes. Mother and father are probably preparing dinner at home, let’s go back early. We still have to rush back to the old residence early tomorrow. Grandpa’s recovery isn’t too bad. I’ve prepared some things at home, we’ll have to go back to take it.”

“Okay!”

“You don’t seem to be in a good condition. Why don’t I drive and you can take a nap?” Ji Zitong suggested.

Su Chen thought about it and nodded. Then, he pulled the car to the side and quietly got out of the car. He switched places with Ji Zitong before Ji Zitong steadied herself and continued to drive ahead.

…

In a luxurious and beautiful villa in City B.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had already packed their things while Li Si was instructing his subordinates to move the things into the car.

Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi personally sent Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye out, their faces filled with reluctance—

“Bro, sis-in-law, why don’t you guys stay for a few more days? You only stayed here for a short while before going back. We haven’t really gone out to walk around yet. The last time, we only went to some nearby places with sis-in-law. If it weren’t for the children starting school in time, we might have been able to hang out for a few more days.”

Mu Lingshi reached out to hold Xi Xiaye and Mu Yuchen’s hands as she tried to persuade them.

Xi Xiaye exchanged a look with the man before she replied with a smile, “We’ve been here for a month already, how is that not a long time? There’s been a lot of work that have been piling up at the company. Xiao Rui and Wei’er are over there, I’ll be worried if I don’t get to see them. There will be many more opportunities in the future. Next August and September, your brother plans to go to Europe for a trip, if you and Ah Mo can, maybe we can go together.”

“August and September? We’ll see then, we’ve just only gotten familiar with the company, I don’t know if we’ll have things sorted by then, but I’ll definitely go back to spend new years there.”

“Mmm, okay, bring our little nephew back. Grandfather, as well as mother and father will definitely be overjoyed.”

Xi Xiaye smiled happily.

“Mmm!”

“Bro, I’ll keep an eye on things here too. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems!”

Ah Mo also felt a little heartache as he looked at Mu Yuchen, who had been so busy recently.

“It’s fine. I won’t be accompanying you guys tonight. President Li has arranged a banquet at the hotel. Your sister-in-law and I also happen to be staying at the hotel. We still have some finalizing work to discuss. We’ll head straight back to City Z tomorrow. You two don’t have to specially come over to send us off. Time is pretty tight. Whenever you’re free, just come home to visit. As long as you both do well, we’ll be relieved.”

It was Mu Yuchen who spoke. There was a rare gentle smile on his handsome face. As he spoke, he looked at Mu Lingshi beside him.

Mu Lingshi then nodded with her eyes slightly hot. She quickly nodded, and her voice was already filled with some uncontrollable sobs—

“I’ve been away for so long and haven’t been home much. Bro, actually, I’ve been missing home a lot. I…”

Then, she could not help but throw herself into Mu Yuchen’s arms.

Mu Yuchen smiled and let this girl hug him. He patted her shoulder gently. “If you’re homesick, come back! Nothing has changed at home. Your room is cleaned every week and it’s still there.”

When she heard such emotional words, Mu Lingshi’s teary eyes suddenly heated up. The tears in her eyes could not help but fall. She suddenly hugged Mu Yuchen tightly. Behind her, Ah Mo went up and pulled her away. He hugged her very considerately—

“Alright, you’re grown up now, it’s not like you can never go back. After we’re done with the matters at hand, let’s go back and visit.”

Ah Mo consoled her sensitively.

Mu Lingshi then sniffed and nodded.

Mu Yuchen looked down at the scene in front of him. The smile on his face widened a little as he felt a wave of softness in his palm. He did not look at it, but he immediately tightened his grip on that softness. After a while, he looked away.

Xi Xiaye smiled calmly as she met his gaze.

“There’s no need to send us off. We’re getting into the car. We can call when we have time! Also, you two must do well okay!”

“Mmm, goodbye brother, sister-in-law!”

The few of them then reluctantly said their goodbyes.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye looked at each other and smiled. After that, Mu Yuchen gently held Xi Xiaye as they walked towards the car. The husband and wife silently got into the car. Very quickly, the car drove on and soon, it disappeared into the vast twilight.

At this moment, the sky had long fallen silent. Under the vast sky, there was a gray and empty scene.

Mu Lingshi looked in the direction where the car had disappeared, and she did not come back to her senses for a long time.

Even Ah Mo who was hugging her called her a few times, but she did not seem to be able to react.

“I’ve been away for so long. Every time I see them, I realize that I actually miss them very much. Ah Mo, do you feel happy?”

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Lingshi finally snapped out of her thoughts. She turned her head and looked up at Ah Mo as she asked softly.

Ah Mo was stunned by her question. He thought about it seriously for a moment before suddenly hugging her tightly and whispering in her ear—

“I feel very happy. With them, you, and my son, this is the greatest happiness for me. I have no choice but to thank the heavens for their kindness…”
