Chapter 1304: Brother Xi, I Love You

"Xi?"

Yan Xinxin froze slightly upon hearing the name, not fully understanding as she looked at Mo Chuxi’s deeply significant gaze.

"Your Mu Qianyuan is my wife. As your husband, I can shoulder this pressure and worry for you, so why won’t you let me bear these burdens for you?"

"Xi, I..."

"You are my wife, someone more important to me than my own life. I don’t want you to endure any risks, do you understand?"

"I understand, I really do! I understand!"

Yan Xinxin tightly clasped Mo Chuxi’s hand.

"Xi, I understand that you’re nervous and worried for me, but I also hope you understand and respect my decision."

Looking at her resolute gaze, Mo Chuxi sighed softly in compromise, lifting his hand to caress her flawless, beautiful face under the sunlight.

"Mu Qianyuan, why are you so stubborn?"

Yan Xinxin smiled slightly.

"Because I’m just like my husband."

As she spoke, she leaned her head into his chest, and Mo Chuxi wrapped his arms around her, letting out a low laugh.

"Yuan, Brother Xi really has no way with you, who made Brother Xi spend his lifetime being wrapped around your finger."

His seemingly helpless words were filled with deep and endless indulgence.

Yan Xinxin could profoundly feel Mo Chuxi’s understanding and acceptance of her, feeling content inside.

"Thank you, Brother Xi."

"Silly, we’ve said we’re family, there’s no need for thanks."

"Then... Brother Xi, I love you."

"..."

Being given such a sweet candy, Mo Chuxi truly felt he had no reason to say "no" at this moment.

But...

Holding her close, there was a hint of apologetic light in his deep, slender eyes.

Yuan, you want Brother Xi to understand you, while Brother Xi hopes you can understand me, too.

As the sunset fell, Yan Xinxin and Mo Chuxi, carrying their two swaddled little treasures, along with Xi and Chun, the dragon and phoenix twin siblings, arrived at the Mu family’s mansion.

As they stepped through the door, the gentle fragrance of hydrangeas mingled with the early summer breeze brushed against their faces.

"Look at the beautiful hydrangeas blooming~"

Little Mo Zhichun clapped her hands in cheer seeing the garden full of hydrangeas of various colors.

She loved hydrangeas because, for as long as she was aware, not just every year but every day she would see hydrangeas in the vases in the living room.

Ning Zitong and Mu Jingheng, each holding a drooling little grandson with blooming smiles, saw Chun and Xi head to the room she used to stay in at the Mu family, sharing toys.

In the yard, Yan Xinxin stood by the flower bed, lowering her head to take in the fragrance.

"I remember that when you were a child, Yuan’s favorite color of hydrangea was blue-purple."

Mu Shaoqian’s voice came from behind, and Yan Xinxin turned with a smile, meeting Mu Shaoqian’s warm gaze.

He wore a mask, trying to avoid contact with any bacteria.

"Is that why there are so many blue-purple hydrangeas in the yard?"

Yan Xinxin asked with a smile, followed by a sigh.

"Actually, some memories have become blurry for me. I only remember I loved these flowers that looked like little balls. It wasn’t until I grew up that I knew they were called hydrangeas."

"Your preferences haven’t changed much, and neither have Chuxi’s."

Mu Shaoqian remarked, his gaze suddenly becoming serious.

"I can assure you, during the days without you, Chuxi really hasn’t had any girlfriends, nor does he allow any other women to get close to him, not even the so-called sister Mu Qianshui."

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed at himself.

"But I, as the brother, while saying I love Yuan the most, listened to Mu Qianshui and tried to match her with Chuxi. So when a woman named Yan Xinxin appeared and caught Chuxi’s eyes, I did one thing after another that hurt my beloved sister."

"Yuan, there’s something I never confessed to you."

Mo Chuxi, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, raised his eyes to listen intently upon hearing this.
