Chapter 2113: Five Years (2)
Mu Zirui did not agree on this point.
Actually, in these five years, Mu Yuchen’s feelings for Xi Xiaye did not decrease at all. Instead, they were like a jar of old wine, brewing stronger and stronger. His feelings for her only increased with each passing day.
They passed the seven-year itch very blandly and blissfully. Compared to Su Chen and Ji Zitong, who were always at odds with each other, they were the same as Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun. There were very few instances of quarreling.
“Which woman still dares to think about him, do they not want to live anymore?”
Xi Xiaye did not think much of it.
In the past few years, she knew Glory World Corporation like the back of her hand. Besides the men around Mu Yuchen, there were also middle-aged women. It was not like there were no young women who wanted to get ahead. They were all taken care of by Xi Xiaye one by one. Of course, such situations were more common on Qi Lei’s side, but the Qi Lei’s family’s methods were not any less than Xi Xiaye’s.
“Mother, I’m reminding you to be careful. Look, the film festival is coming soon. When that time comes, Father will definitely be there to be the guest presenter. You have to be careful of those female celebrities. In the past, I’ve seen quite a few of those women meeting father by chance. You and Aunty Liuyun have to keep your eyes peeled.”
“Brat, why are watching these things for?”
Xi Xiaye looked at Mu Zirui in amusement. All these years, they had resisted the women around Mu Yuchen and Qi Lei. Even Dongfang Ye and Qi Lan had been corrupted by them.
“We’re preparing for a rainy day. Since I won’t be around, Xiaocheng would have to keep an eye on things.”
Speaking of Mu Zirui, he was actually the devil among these children.
At such a young age, this child had completely inherited his father Mu Yuchen’s personality. He was mature and deep, mysterious and treacherous. Unlike his father, this child seemed to be more silent and decisive. Perhaps it was because he had often stayed by Mu Tangchuan’s side before, Mu Tangchuan instead handed over all the official stuff to him.
Dongfang Ye was the second devil. His smile was as warm as the wind, but many of the bad ideas came from him. The ones who carried out the plan were the little rascals like Zhou Mingyu.
“You lot are too busybody. Alright, your things are packed. Hurry up and ask your father to go downstairs and have breakfast. It’s almost eight, yet he’s still not up! Leave earlier later, it’ll take more than three hours to get there, and there’s traffic in the city too,” said Xi Xiaye.
“Okay!” Mu Zirui replied before leaving the room.
When he reached the bedroom door, Mu Zirui knocked on the door very politely
“Father, Mother wants you to get up for breakfast. Aren’t you up yet?”
When Mu Zirui finished speaking, the door opened from the inside. Mu Yuchen had already appeared in front of him neatly.
Time did not leave any marks on Mu Yuchen’s face. Although he was already a man in his 40s, his charm did not diminish at all. Instead, he was even more reserved. His mature and noble charm became even stronger, it was no wonder that Mu Zirui and the others were worried that their mother, Xi Xiaye, would…
“Good morning, Father!”
Mu Zirui squinted at Mu Yuchen and smiled.
“What’s with that look? is breakfast ready?”
Mu Yuchen could naturally catch the meaningful look in his son’s eyes.
Mu Zirui chuckled and said softly, “Father, when I’m not at home, you must keep a close eye on my mother. A few days ago, when you were shopping with mother, you even noticed that one of mother’s juniors was very friendly and asked for mother’s contact details.”
“Juniors? What juniors? What does he look like?”
When Mu Yuchen heard this, he immediately frowned.
“I don’t know either. His surname seems to be Yu. Mother asked me to call him Uncle Yu. Uncle Yu wanted to ask mother to meet him again, but mother didn’t have the time to reject him, so he stuffed his business card into mother’s hands. Oh, right, that uncle seems to have just returned from abroad. He looks very fair and bright. I think he’s younger than mother by a few years. You know, mother takes very good care of her old friends…”
Mu Zirui whispered as he squinted at Mu Yuchen tentatively.
Mu Yuchen gave him a sidelong glance as he patted his head and rubbed it. “Not bad. Didn’t you tell that man that your mother and I have a great relationship??”
“Father, the love between you and mother isn’t meant to display like that, is it?”
Mu Zirui shrugged.
“I’ve been displaying it all these years, but you didn’t die sooner, did you?”
Mu Yuchen did not think much of it. His tall figure walked past him. Mu Zirui touched his nose and followed behind him.
In the dining room downstairs, Xi Xiaye had already prepared breakfast and bowls and chopsticks.
Mu Yuchen and Mu Zirui came over and sat down too.
“Eat more. Mother even prepared some snacks that you like. They’re all wrapped up. Bring them to the car later.”
Xi Xiaye scooped a bowl of pumpkin porridge for Mu Zirui as she said this.
“Got it, Mother.”
“Sit down and eat. You’ll be able to see people again next month. You’ll have to leave for even longer in the future. You’ll be attending the Military Academy’s special recruitment later on. Xiao Rui, if you’re really interested, you can get to know them properly.”
Mu Zirui seemed to be determined to enter the military academy. She had been training hard in school these past few years just to fulfill her dream of being in the military camp.
“Grandfather told me that there will be people coming to the school for the selection later on.”
“Don’t worry too much. You have to take care of yourself. Mother will take care of it then.”
Xi Xiaye wanted to cheer her son up when she saw his hopeful expression, but…
The man and her son immediately shot her a disapproving look. Xi Xiaye was stunned. She could only pick up the bowl and lower her head as if she had not said anything just now.
At this moment, Mu Zirui smiled instead. “Don’t worry, Mother. I know what I’m doing. It’s a sure thing to be chosen based on my own abilities. Don’t worry. I want to be like father back then, relying on my own true abilities.”
“What true abilities does he have? As long as you hand in your information, wouldn’t it be…”
“It’s good that you’re ambitious. Father and Mother can’t protect you forever. You only have the right to talk about protecting others when you’ve mastered your true abilities.”
Mu Yuchen’s deep voice sounded.
Mu Zirui nodded. “I got it, Father!”
Not long after breakfast, the family of three set off for school.
The driver was Mu Yuchen. Xi Xiaye and her son, Mu Zirui, sat in the backseat. Along the way, Xi Xiaye kept nagging Mu Zirui with all sorts of questions, but Mu Zirui did not feel impatient at all. He just kept arriving at the school gate, Xi Xiaye finally stopped talking.
The child carried his luggage and got out of the car. The husband and wife personally sent him to the school gate.
“Father, Mother, you guys go back. I’m going in now.”
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye nodded and waved. The child then walked towards the school. After a few steps, he did not forget to turn back to look at them…
