Chapter 2000  : You Want To Break Off the Engagement? (1)

Dongfang Liuyun sat there for quite a while before he left. Xi Xiaye personally sent them to the door.

“There’s no need to send us off, go back. We’re quite close anyway.”

When they walked out of the door, Dongfang Liuyun stopped and turned around to look at Xi Xiaye gratefully.

“It’s okay. Qi Lei isn’t around, you have to take care of yourself. If you need anything, just say the word. We’re all on the same side, so there’s no need to be so polite. We’re quite familiar with each other. Mu Yuchen and I have always treated Qi Lei like a younger brother,” Xi Xiaye said very gently, her starry eyes flowing with a faint warmth.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded in gratitude, “I know. When I really need something, I won’t be stingy with asking. Thank you, Xiaye. Qi Lei told me about you before. You’re a very kind and warm-hearted person. Chairman Mu is the same. With your care, I feel lucky and touched for him.”

“You don’t have to be so polite. It’s Mu Yuchen and I’s honor to have a friend like him at our age. Mr. Mu even sympathized with him before, so I naturally hope that the two of us can get close to each other too. This way, there’s no need for them to leave us aside every time the two of them get together.”

Xi Xiaye smiled cheerfully. Her beautiful eyes were filled with faint anticipation, “Actually, I hope that the harmonious relationship between us can be maintained forever. In the future, we can move around often. When we’re old, we can even travel together in pairs. It’s not a bad idea.”

“As long as we have this hope in our hearts, it can naturally be realized.”

“Mmm.”

“Alright, I’ll go back first. I’ll have to trouble you guys with Wei’er.”

“Alright, don’t worry. Be careful on the road.”

...

As she watched the car slowly disappear into the path ahead, Xi Xiaye stood there for quite a while before turning around to go back.

When she returned to the living room, her son had already been carried back by Aunt Fang to take a nap, while Mu Yuchen was still sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching television.

“Don’t you feel that Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun seem to be getting along more and more harmoniously? Isn’t it very similar to the feeling we had back then?”

Xi Xiaye sat down next to him as she moved closer to him.

Mu Yuchen quickly reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. “How did we feel back then?”

“Don’t you know it yourself?”

Xi Xiaye glanced at him.

“Are you telling me that you actually enjoyed the feeling of us chasing each other back then?”

Mu Yuchen smiled and patted her head with his big hand. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “I don’t have the romantic cells like Qi Lei.”

“But, I like your type.”

Xi Xiaye did not hold back at all.

When he heard this, Mu Yuchen smiled calmly and coughed lightly. “Is beauty in the eyes of a lover?”

“Do you have the beauty of a beauty that can topple countries and cities?”

Xi Xiaye could not help but reply.

Mu Yuchen chuckled. “That’s a good thing for me to say to you. Didn’t you say you wanted to eat a specially made steak? I’ll fulfill your wish tonight.”

“Mmm? Bake some of the cake from last time. The children like it.”

“Mmm, put on a coat, let’s go out to buy groceries.”

Mu Yuchen patted her head and said in a soft voice.

“Huh? You still want me to go with you to buy groceries? Can’t you go alone? l want to accompany my son...”

Xi Xiaye looked at him in a daze as if she was not too happy.

“No! Quickly go up and put on another coat. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Mu Yuchen got up without saying anything and did not allow her to reject him

How long had it been since she went out with him? Every time the children were at home, she would only care about the children. It was a rare opportunity to go out for a walk, so they naturally could not waste a good time like this.

“You...”

Before Xi Xiaye could say anything, someone had already taken the car keys and went over to get the car.

Xi Xiaye shrugged helplessly and had no choice but to go upstairs to get a coat. Of course, she did not forget to bring a windbreaker for him too.

The afternoon weather was a little chilly. The brilliant sun just now had already dimmed, and now the air was a little chilly.

As the New Year approached, the entire City Z was very lively. Many shops were also displaying New Year goods.

Mu Yuchen and XI Xiaye did not expect to run into Zhou Zimo and Qin Su.

They were at the entrance of a bookstore on the pedestrian street of New Era Plaza.

Zhou Zimo was standing by the door while Qin Su was flipping through the books on the bookshelf. She was probably choosing the books that she liked.

“Chen, Xiaye!”

Zhou Zimo was the first to notice them.

“Why are you guys here too?”

Mu Yuchen looked at Zhou Zimo and Qin Su in surprise.

“I’m accompanying Qin Su for a stroll. She said she wanted to buy a few books, so why are you guys here? It’s almost evening.”

“Come over for a walk and prepare the ingredients for dinner. Qin Su!”

It was Xi Xiaye who replied. When she saw Qin Su walking over, she greeted her warmly.

Qin Su smiled and nodded politely. “Are you guys here for a walk too?”

“Mmm, just in time for a walk.”

“There’s a coffee shop up ahead. Since we’ve bumped into each other, let’s go over and have a cup of hot coffee and rest.” Zhou Zimo suggested.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye exchanged a look, but they did not object.

There were not many people in the coffee shop. The four of them found a quiet corner and sat down. They ordered some coffee and some snacks. The service staff was very efficient, so they quickly served the food.

“Are the preparations for the wedding almost done?”

Mu Yuchen naturally added sugar into Xi Xiaye’s coffee as he looked at Zhou Zimo and asked.

“It’s almost done. When the time comes, I’ll borrow the chef from your Imperial Sky Hotel.”

Zhou Zimo replied, “In addition, I’ve already sent the invitation cards to Ah Mo, Lingshi, and the others. I don’t know if they’ll be able to come back for it.”

“It’s near the end of the year. They should come back to take a look. It’s New Year soon. I heard a few days ago that they wanted to come back to visit father and mother,” Mu Yuchen replied calmly.

He had heard that Mu Lingshi’s health had not been very good recently. Zhuang Shurong had even gone over to visit them. When she knew that she had recovered a little, she felt a little relieved.

“She’s putting too much pressure on herself. Thankfully, she still has Ah Mo with her.”

Actually, it was only at times like this that they truly felt the importance of their loved ones. All these years, they had been living like this, so Zhou Zimo felt a little nostalgic for Ah Mo and Lingshi, however, this was their life and fate. It was destined that they would not be able to live happily and carefree like when they were young.

“She will have to endure some things before she can truly grow up. Everyone needs to experience such a life-and-death parting.”
