1267 Invitation 2
She turned around to look at Xi Mushan and noticed a serious expression on his face.
“Father, you don’t have to hesitate to tell me anything.” Xi Xiaye’s voice breezed past his ear like the wind.
Xi Mushan thought about it. “There isn’t really anything I’d like to say. It’s just about Xinyi. You don’t have to be considerate about me. Your mother is an open person, so I suppose she has gotten over it already.”
“I understand how you feel, and I know Xi Xinyi has looked for you several times in order to ask you to convince me. It must be tough for you…but you never said anything to me. I’m sure you were being considerate which I really do feel happy about. I’m glad that you care about my feelings.”
Xi Xiaye’s eyes brightened as she looked straight at Xi Mushan. “Family can be a shackle to some. It’s not about being willing or not. At times, it’s about responsibilities and feelings. I can understand how you feel, so if Xi Xinyi has promised to change, I think we can give her a chance.”
She found out that all the information about Gu Lingsha was Xi Xinyi’s reporting. That made her change her impression of Xi Xinyi.
“Alright, if Xi Xinyi wants to see you again, just tell her what I just said. I can definitely forgive her.” Xi Xiaye then turned around and went back into the house.
Xi Mushan was stunned for a moment before he then followed her in as well.
…
Worried that it might be inappropriate for her to stay out for too long, Mu Lingshi returned to the Mu residence soon after dinner. It was a little late when Shen Yue left Maple Residence, but Xi Xiaye and Mu Zirui saw him off.
Since Shen Yue had drunk a little, he had a great time that night. He turned around and told Xi Xiaye and Mu Zirui after he entered the car, “Alright, you guys should head back in. Xiao Rui still has school tomorrow.”
Nodding, Xi Xiaye then signaled Sis Wang to put the tonics into the car as she replied Shen Yue, “You should rest earlier too. I’ll bring Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng over during the weekend. Thank you for taking care of the company during this period.”
Shen Yue smiled as he patted Mu Zirui’s head. His old voice sounded gentle. “You guys must be busy as well. Take your time to rest up.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I heard you and some friends have been exercising together lately. I’ll join you all once I find some time.”
“As long as you’re not too busy.” Shen Yue glanced at Xi Xiaye. “I heard about the company’s progress lately from Zilang. It’s doing well generally, so just focus on securing the bases. That’s how I sustained for this long. It’s normal to face issues, so just take it easy.”
“Yes, Grandpa! I’ve got it.”
“Alright, I’ll head back for now. Give me a call if you’re coming this weekend. I’ll get the butler to make something nice for you.”
“Okay, say goodbye to Great-grandpa now!”
“Goodbye, Great-grandpa! Goodbye, Grandpa, Grandma!”
Shen Yue nodded and got into the car with Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna’s car following behind his.
Xi Xiaye patted Mu Zirui’s head as they watched the cars vanish into the night.
She took a comfortable shower after she went back, and then she took a look at Mu Zirui’s homework before heading to bed.
Mu Xiaocheng was already sleeping sweetly.
Just as Xi Xiaye lay down on the bed, Mu Zirui appeared at the door with his pillow in his hands, seeming to expect something.
“Xiao Rui? What’s the matter?” Xi Xiaye was confused.
Mu Zirui instantly blushed. He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mother…can I sleep with you and Brother? Father isn’t home…Don’t worry. I have decent sleep ethics!”
Huh?
Xi Xiaye was surprised.
When Mu Yuchen was around, he always encouraged independence among the children, so Mu Zirui had always slept alone.
Mu Zirui seemed disappointed when Xi Xiaye did not agree right away. He was about to turn around, so Xi Xiaye suddenly lifted the blanket open and patted the empty space beside her. “Come here. Sleep earlier and I’ll send you to school tomorrow.”
Mu Zirui rushed over happily and climbed onto the bed after he removed his shoes. His eyes widened slightly when he saw his brother sleeping soundly in the middle of the bed. He carefully put his pillow down as he asked, “Mother, does Father sleep on this side?”
“Mmm, did you drink the milk Aunt Wang gave you?” Xi Xiaye adjusted his pillow as she asked.
“I’ve drunk it!”
He quickly lay down as he took a glance at Mu Xiaocheng beside him. He moved gently and quietly, afraid that he might wake his brother up. Xi Xiaye smiled. “It’s alright. Act natural. He’s in deep sleep right now.”
“Oh!”
Mu Zirui then asked, “Mother, when is Brother going to grow up? He looks so small now!”
“When you grow big enough to protect him, then he’ll grow up.” Xi Xiaye covered him with the blanket.
“I’ve already grown up! Mother, do you still remember the girl, Qi Weier?” Mu Zirui sat up as he suddenly remembered something.
“Qi Weier?” The little figure instantly popped up in Xi Xiaye’s mind. How could she forget about Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha?
“What happened to her?” Xi Xiaye gave him a puzzled look.
“She suddenly passed out in the evening when class just ended. I saw a lot of people carrying her into the car when Grandma picked me up. The teachers were terrified and followed her along to the hospital. Is she sick?” Mu Zirui felt a little frightened when he was reminded of that scene.
Xi Xiaye was shocked. Was Qi Weier sick?
She felt pity for that child, especially since she heard that Qi Weier had a frail body ever since she was born. However, she did not want to butt into their business, “She’ll get well soon. Go to sleep now.”
“Mmm, good night, Mother!”
