When they came out of the airport, it was already close to evening.

Just as they walked out of the airport, they saw the black Phaeton parked by the side. It was a familiar license plate number. They did not even need to think to know who it was.

Xi Xiaye walked over. Just as she got closer, the door of the passenger seat had already been opened, and Xi Xiaye sat inside.

The person in the driver’s seat was Mu Yuchen.

“Why are you here?”

“It’s the weekend tomorrow. I promised Xiao Rui to pick them up from school. Coincidentally, let’s go out for dinner tonight. It’s been a long time since our family went out for dinner. Xiao Rui and Wei’er have been thinking about the dim sum at the restaurant downtown. I’ve already asked Driver Wang to go back. Mother will send it over tomorrow morning.”

Mu Yuchen gave a simple explanation.

“They’re having the final exams. Are you trying to encourage the children and prepare them for war? Isn’t it fine to have hotpot at home too?”

Xi Xiaye fastened her seatbelt before Mu Yuchen started the car.

“There’s nothing wrong with going out occasionally for a new taste. Don’t the children like the snacks there?” Mu Yuchen replied.

“I keep feeling like you care more about the children than you do about me.”

“What are you thinking about? Don’t I spend more time with you than the children? I said before that you care more about the children, yet you didn’t admit it. Why are you complaining about this to me now?”

Mu Yuchen glanced at her disapprovingly.

“I was infected by you, wasn’t I?”

Xi Xiaye was very confident.

Mu Yuchen chuckled. “Your temper has been growing lately. You’ve been pushing everything onto me. I wonder who spoiled you.”

“You spoiled me,” Xi Xiaye quickly replied.

Mu Yuchen paused for a moment. He did not quite react. He squinted at her in surprise before he chuckled. “You’re just jumping onto what I said.”

“I’m not going to talk about this with you anymore. I hope that when she goes back this time, the situation over there will get better. It’s been so long, yet Han Yifeng still won’t let go. You can tell that what happened back then hurt him quite deeply.”

Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered how Xi Xinyi looked like she was in a daze just now.

“You’re not still worried about that person, are you?” Mu Yuchen squinted at her and asked.

Naturally, she knew what he meant. Although they were quite loving, every time they brought up Han Yifeng, Xi Xiaye could vaguely sense some hostility from him.

In this way, she would probably never be able to get rid of it. After all, those things in the past were indeed...

Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him.

The smile on Mu Yuchen’s face widened slightly.

“What kind of life they want is not something we can decide. Just let them be.”

“I didn’t expect her to change so much when she came back this time.”

“If she still can’t come to her senses, then all our previous efforts will be in vain,” Mu Yuchen said in a deep voice, “Besides, that’s all we can do. wasn’t Ah Mo and Lingshi the same back then? We just have to do our best.”

“Is Lingshi feeling better? She got sick after she went back. When we called a few days ago, she sounded a little weak.”

Xi Xiaye was concerned.

“It’s nothing serious. It’s already happened. There’s no use being sad. Just live well.”

Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he said this.

Xi Xiaye nodded and took a deep breath. She did not say anything else after that.

...

When the car arrived near the school, Mu Yuchen did not expect to bump into Qi Lei!

When she saw Qi Lei leisurely leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette between his fingers, Xi Xiaye was a little surprised, but then, she thought about it, she remembered that Qi Lei had mentioned that he wanted to bring Qi Wei’er and Mu Zirui back home to stay for two days. Qi Qiming seemed to want to see his granddaughter.

When their car stopped, Qi Lei noticed them and quickly waved at them.

“Why are you here?”

Mu Yuchen got out of the car and went up to greet them. Xi Xiaye followed closely behind him.

Qi Lei’s handsome face showed a rare gentleness as he glanced at the couple, “I said before that I wanted to bring them home to stay for two days. It just so happens that it’s Friday today. I thought that you and Xiaye would probably come over to pick them up too, so I just came over directly.”

“Go home to stay for two days?” Mu Yuchen muttered softly and quickly understood what Qi Lei meant.

“Did you need to come over personally?”

“I’ve already taken a lot advantage of you. Since I’m Wei’er’s uncle, I should at least do my part as an uncle. After such a long time, thank you for guiding and taking care of Wei’er.”

When Qi Lei said this, his tone was naturally filled with gratitude.

Now, other than Qi Wei’er’s slightly weaker body, she had already recovered like a normal child. She was no longer closed off and afraid like before. Now, she could simply interact with some people and not feel afraid anymore, she could communicate with Xi Xiaye, Mu Yuchen, and the others without any obstacles.

When Qi Lei said this, Xi Xiaye smiled. “Alright, you don’t have to be so polite. Wei’er is a pretty good child. I quite like her too.”

“I know you like girls. If there’s a chance, have one with Ah Chen. Anyway, Mu Xiaocheng has grown up a little, so there’s nothing wrong with having a little sister. Ah Chen said before that I’ve already reserved your daughter and son. Anyway, we’re going to be in-laws anyway.”

Qi Lei’s teasing laughter came through. When he looked at his face, he felt that his smile was very clear.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye exchanged a look. The husband and wife understood each other.

“Okay, the problem now is that you have to quickly have a daughter. In the future, you can be Xiao Rui’s or Xiao Cheng’s wife.”

Xi Xiaye could not help but laugh.

“That’s not something that will happen soon!”

Qi Lei was also very confident in himself and Dongfang Liuyun.

“Father, Mother! Uncle Qi Lei!”

Just as they were chatting happily, two crisp childlike voices suddenly came from ahead. They quickly looked up and realized that school had already ended. The children were rushing out of the school gate happily, the school bus and private car that came to pick up the children had filled both sides of the road.

Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er were rushing towards them one after the other. With their huge school bags on their backs, they were so tired that they were sweating profusely.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Xiao Rui, Wei’er, come!”

The moment Xi Xiaye saw the children, her pretty little face quickly lit up with a smile, and her gaze became gentle.

“Mother!”

Qi Wei’er rushed over and threw her head into Xi Xiaye’s embrace. Xi Xiaye happily reached out to hug her too...
