Chapter 2147: Growing Old Together (2)

Xi Xiaye leaned back slightly and changed into a comfortable position as she replied calmly—

“Mmm, she called me and told me that Yue Lingsi had gone. She wanted to bring her back to City Z, but when she thought about how the memories here were not that good, she decided to just leave her in America. That way, she might have a new start over there. I think she’s thinking about Father and Mother too.”

When XI Xiaye said this, her eyes were very calm, but her tone was clearly a little gloomy.

“Does she want you to pass on this news to Father?”

Although Mu Yuchen asked this question, his tone was filled with certainty.

Xi Xiaye nodded, “Xi Xinyi has already gotten used to leaving these things to me when it comes to our parents so… actually, I’ve already passed on this matter a long time ago. It’s been decades. I’m almost 40 years old, and I’ve already passed on half of my life. What’s there to be unhappy about now?”

When Xi Xiaye said this, she laughed bitterly. She took a deep breath, tilted her head, and leaned gently against his side, “You know, maybe it’s because I’m old now, so I care about some relationships especially at this time. For example, my parents. They’re gradually getting older, the children are slowly growing up, and you and I are slowly getting older. Right now, I’ll care more about them. and Xinyi, no matter what, she’s still my sister. I just hope that everyone can live peacefully now.”

“I can’t wait to spend more time with them… Mr. Mu…”

Xi Xiaye suddenly opened her eyes as she turned around to look at him—

“I finally understand what you said to me back then. My state of mind always seems to mature too late. Fortunately, I’m still in time. I think that’s the best state of life. The children grew up healthy and safe, and our parents are still around. We’ve helped each other… Mmm…”

Before Xi Xiaye could finish, Mu Yuchen had already bent down and gently kissed her light-colored lips. He then gently pushed her away and pulled her up to sit in Xi Xiaye’s chair earlier, Xi Xiaye tacitly sat down on his lap.

Mu Yuchen gently held her hands from behind and held them in his palms. His deep voice had a seductive penetrating power—

“A person’s growth is a process of self-precipitation. Don’t be too pessimistic at any time. You must have hope. In this world, other than life and death, what kind of hardships can there be that you can’t walk out of? Your current state is much better than when I first met you.”

Mu Yuchen chuckled and squinted at her before continuing, “You don’t know. When I first met you, I didn’t really think much of you. I just thought that you were like those willful little girls. The only difference is that when I saw you lose your soul, I really couldn’t bear it.”

“Is it that bad? Didn’t you say that the reason you fell for me was because I was good-looking?”

Xi Xiaye still had some confidence in her own appearance.

When he heard this, Mu Yuchen chuckled and held her hands tightly. “This can be considered a reason. The main reason is that I liked you.”

“You’re fated to bow down to my charm.”

When Xi Xiaye said this, she could not help but look at him proudly. She slowly moved closer to his ear and lowered her voice as she said softly, “You don’t know that the greatest sense of accomplishment in my life is to woo you and marry you. Many people envy me.”

Mu Yuchen’s eyes flashed when he heard this. He chuckled softly. “Since you know how good I am, why don’t you cherish me even more?”

“Nonsense. When have I not cherished you?”

“Missus, I realize that you like to compete with your eyes to lie. When the children are at home, I practically don’t exist in your eyes. The people you love the most are Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng.”

“Aren’t you doting on Xiao Shu too?”

Xi Xiaye glanced at him. “I told you, you have to be fair. Xiao Cheng even complained to me that you’re too strict with him.”

“Xiao Shu is the youngest daughter. She deserves everyone’s love. Our son is a boy, I have to take care of his future growth.”

Mu Yuchen also admitted that out of the four children, he was the most strict with Mu Zicheng and his brothers. He understood what Mu Tangchuan had thought back then. Now, he was following the same old path.

He hoped that when he and Xi Xiaye got old, these two children would be able to protect Wei’er and Xiao Shu and support the entire Mu family.

“Actually, it would be great if we had another child. It’s all your fault…”

When XI Xiaye said this, she shot him a resentful glance.

Not long after Mu Yuchen gave birth to Mu Zishu, he secretly went to the hospital to have a vasectomy.

He could not bear to let Xi Xiaye do it. Moreover, her body was not suitable for another child. He did not want to have another child. He was already very satisfied with having Mu Xiaocheng.

Initially, Xi Xiaye did not know about this either. It was only when she was organizing the documents later that she accidentally saw his medical records and found out about this matter.

“Why are you giving birth so much? It’s not like we’re forming a basketball team. Haven’t you noticed that your figure has been a little deformed recently?”

Mu Yuchen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xi Xiaye’s slender waist.

“Deformed? How’s that possible? I do yoga every day. The teacher says that my figure has been maintained very well!”

When Xi Xiaye heard this, she instantly became worried. She quickly reached out to touch her waist as she frowned.

“There’s no one in this world who understands your figure better than me.”

Mu Yuchen’s lips curled up into a smile as he said plainly.

Xi Xiaye’s brows furrowed as she reached out to touch his stomach. She gently patted it and rubbed it. “You seem to have put on a little weight too.”

“So be it, I should be putting on some weight too. Anyway, I’ve got a wife and my children are all grown up. I’m on the way to becoming an old man. This is a normal phenomenon. It’s better for a man to be portly, didn’t you say a while ago that that little old man looked quite cute?”

Mu Yuchen’s voice was full of ridicule. Xi Xiaye could not help but laugh when she heard him

“Don’t, if you really become fat, my idol’s image will collapse. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accept this blow.”

“Little girl, you’ve learned to judge people by their appearance?”

Mu Yuchen reached out and pinched her cheek.

“I’ve always judged people by their appearance. If it wasn’t for your good looks and how you treat me, I would’ve…”

“What would’ve happened?”

Before Xi Xiaye could finish, Mu Yuchen narrowed his eyes…
