Chapter 2158: Chapter 625: One Year Later (2) Returning to the City to Settle Accounts (2)

Mu Yichen asked again, and after asking, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

Zhao Huai’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, you seem like someone who has a family, but more like a fool with a wife who is still all alone.

But he dared not say this to him, so he sympathized and said, "Why don’t I let Xiaomei make up something and have Qin Mu come back?"

"Using the car accident trick again? Forget it!"

Mu Yichen’s eyes moved slightly and then he refused.

Thinking about previous years, they’ve used this trick way too often, and using it now would only cheapen themselves.

If she wants to come back, she will. If she doesn’t want to, then forget it. She’s lost faith in marriage, and she’s reminded of the damn past of her parents.

Why did he fall in love with a woman who has shadows in her heart?

The words "asking for trouble" fit him perfectly, and it’s absolutely not undeserved.

"Then forget it, I need to go out, see you!"

Zhao Huai stood up, feeling that if he stayed longer he might make Brother Chen’s mood worse, so it’s better to leave.

Little did he know that after he left, Brother Chen sat there with a teacup in a daze for nearly half an hour.

Then forget it?

Such simple five words!

When Mu Yichen got home in the evening, he found someone else there. It was that woman, wearing a sky-blue dress, sitting on their sofa chatting with Ms. Feng, personally peeling apples for her.

Mu Yichen wondered when his home hired free help. But these apples were always sliced in the kitchen, why were they being cut outside now?

"Yichen’s back!"

Feng Fanghua looked up and greeted him promptly, signaling him to come over and sit.

"Mm!"

Mu Yichen responded lightly, following Feng Fanghua’s signal to sit down, but he didn’t like sitting next to other women, so he sat far away.

"I invited Xiaoyi over for dinner, didn’t expect you to also be back, quite a coincidence!"

Feng Fanghua gave Mu Yichen a glance and said.

Mu Yichen chuckled but said nothing.

"Every time I come over Chen always seems to be here, it’s definitely not just coincidence. I think it’s because Chen is filial and often at home having meals with elders."

Chen Xiaoyi said softly, looking at Mu Yichen with gentle eyes, appearing conquered.

Mu Yichen raised his eyes, just looking at her briefly, she immediately blushed and lowered her head, continuing to peel apples. Mu Yichen wondered how long she would take peeling that apple.

"Who is Miss Chen peeling this apple for? At this rate, it might be better to leave it to our helpers at home."

"Ah? I’m peeling it for..."

"Of course it’s for you, Xiaoyi wouldn’t let our helpers do it, she wanted to personally peel it for you."

Feng Fanghua held Chen Xiaoyi’s hand and spoke on her behalf.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyi’s face turned red again, bashfully lowering her head without speaking.

Mu Yichen helplessly glanced at his mother with a meaningful smile, "You know I don’t like apples. I even thought Miss Chen peeled it for you, but when did you start liking apples?"

Feng Fanghua...

Chen Xiaoyi...

His words were slowly spoken but still made people uneasy. Chen Xiaoyi did not fully understand him and quietly deliberated the deeper meaning.

"Where are Chengcheng and Huanhuan?"

Mu Yichen didn’t look at Chen Xiaoyi, just looked inside.

"They’re doing homework!"

Feng Fanghua said, but her expression was already unpleasant.

"I’ll go check on them!"

Mu Yichen uncrossed his long legs and got up to leave.

Chen Xiaoyi instinctively stood up quickly, but before she could clearly see his face, he had already walked far.

"Aunt, does Brother Chen not like me coming over?"

Chen Xiaoyi asked softly.

"Why wouldn’t he like it? He’s just silly, doesn’t know how to express it. Just give him more time."

Feng Fanghua gently patted her hand, speaking comfortingly.

"Mm!"

Chen Xiaoyi agreed softly, yet felt a dampness in her heart, like a warm face pressed against someone’s hand.

Though both palms, the temperature and force were ultimately different.

Chengcheng had little homework, so he was in his room playing with his high-tech toys. When he heard the door open, he looked up to see Mu Yichen come in, but said nothing, just continued playing gloomily.

"You sure know how to avoid guests, why not go down and say hello?"
