Mr. Mu, will you always be good to me?

Mmm—

One summer afternoon, Xi Xiaye opened a book that had been shelved for a long time. A conversation suddenly appeared on the page. She thought about it and suddenly remembered that she had asked him about it a long, long time ago, not long after they had just gotten married.

Unexpectedly, 10 years had passed in a flash. The children had grown up. Mu Xiaocheng was more than eight years old. Xiao Rui and Wei’er had also grown up. Their daughter, Mu Zishu, had also grown up. The children rarely made her and Mu Yuchen worry about them. The two of them were busy with their careers, of course, they did not forget to be close to the children. The family was very harmonious..

Mu Tangchuan had already retired. Other than the children returning to maple residence on weekends, most of the children would go directly to the Mu residence or go to Qi Lei’s Grand Lake Villa to play.

Their business had been growing in the past few years. The husband and wife preferred to diversify and invest in many industries. There was also Qi Lei’s side. The entire commercial industry was practically connected, and they were trying to win steadily.

As their businesses became more and more stable, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye spent more time with their children and family. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun were the same.

“Mother, Aunt Xinyi called.”

As Xi Xiaye was sitting at the desk in the study room flipping through a book, her daughter, Mu Zishu’s tender voice suddenly came from behind her.

Mu Zishu looked like her. She was beautiful and cute. Mu Yuchen doted on her the most and protected her like a gem. However, this child’s personality was like her brother’s. Mu Zicheng was also a quieter person.

As Mu Zishu said this, she handed Xi Xiaye’s phone over.

“Okay, go back to your room and change. Father will come back to pick us up later.”

Xi Xiaye took the phone and reached out to touch Mu Zishu’s little head as she said this.

Mu Zishu nodded and very obediently turned around to leave the study room.

“Hello? Xinyi?”

Xi Xiaye then spoke into the phone.

That’s right, it was Xi Xinyi who called. Xi Xinyi was now the Chief Executive Officer of Tai Yu Corporation in the United States. She had done a great job in the United States.

The only regret was that she and Han Yifeng could not return to the beginning.

Han Yifeng did not marry another woman, but he did not stop Xi Xinyi from meeting her son either, so Xi Xinyi’s relationship with her son was not bad.

Perhaps he had underestimated Han Yifeng’s determination. He really could not go back to how things were with Xi Xinyi. Actually, Xi Xinyi understood that Han Yifeng had changed his heart a long time ago. Moreover, his heart was already frozen—

He had fallen in love with Xi Xiaye even though he knew that there was no possibility in this life, and this might make him feel better.

All these years, Han Yifeng had hardly contacted Xi Xiaye. It was only on her birthday that he would occasionally give her gifts anonymously. At first, Xi Xiaye did not know either, so she got Mu Yuchen to investigate, only then did she know that the owner of the gifts was Han Yifeng.

“Sis, it’s me. How have you been recently?”

Xi Xinyi’s voice soon came from the other end.

“Pretty good. How about you?”

Xi Xiaye replied plainly, “The children are going to be on vacation soon. Do you want to bring the child back home for a visit? Father’s getting old. Sometimes, when I look at Xiao Rui and the others, I’ll think of you and Xiao Zhe.”

When she heard this, Xi Xinyi let out a helpless and bitter smile. “Xiao Zhe still has to go to school. Yifeng has arranged a closed-off school for him. Let’s wait until the new year to take a look. Sis, my mother is gone...”

Gone?

Yue Lingsi?

Xi Xiaye was stunned.

Back then, Yue Lingsi had gone to the United States with Xi Xinyi and arranged for her to be in a nursing home. In a flash, so many years had passed, and Yue Lingsi had actually...

“My condolences!”

Xi Xiaye was silent for quite a while before she softly said this.

She did not really feel much for Yue Lingsi. When she heard the news of her death, she was only surprised and did not feel sad.

“Thank you. Her body has already been cremated. I wanted to send her back to China to be buried, but thinking about it, that place doesn’t have any good memories after all, so I decided to leave her in America and let her start over in this place,” Xi Xinyi said softly.

“Mmm, make the arrangements. Do you need me to tell Father about this?”

Xi Xiaye seemed to have guessed Xi Xinyi’s motive.

Sure enough, when she said this, Xi Xinyi immediately said, “Mmm, Sis, please, because I really don’t want to...”

Was she afraid of Xi Mushan’s attitude?

Xi Xiaye understood very well.

“She’s already dead. What grudges can’t be resolved? Father actually let go of this matter a long time ago. He’s doing very well now. Don’t worry, those things have left a shadow in our hearts, but the fact that we’re sisters can never change that. Blood is such a magical thing, so don’t think too much about it. This place will always be your other home.”

Xi Xiaye’s tone was very gentle and calm. When she heard this, Xi Xinyi felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. She forced a smile on her face, but her eyes were slightly moist. “Thank you, Sis! Han Yifeng came over on the day of my mother’s funeral. I...”

“If you think that it’s no longer possible between you and him, then I think it’s not bad for you to choose another one. Your life is not even halfway through, and the future is still very long. If you can’t wait, then don’t wait anymore. You’re just a woman. You can’t be alone forever.”

Xi Xiaye understood what Xi Xinyi wanted to say.

“But I’m afraid that I won’t be able to let go of him and accept others.”

“There’s no such thing as letting go or not letting go. Sometimes, love is like a piece of frozen ice. The tighter you hold on to it, the faster it melts. In the end, it’ll still turn into a puddle of water and disappear into your palm. If you don’t walk out, you’ll be trapped forever.”

Xi Xiaye could empathize with her.

“I know... I’ll do my best. I don’t want to live alone like this either.”

Xi Xinyi’s bitter voice came through.

“Alright, don’t think too much. Let’s do this first. I’ll go back to the Shen residence tonight. I’ll tell Father about your mother.”

“Thank you, Sis!”

...

Xi Xiaye slowly hung up the phone and quietly closed her eyes. She leaned against the back of the chair and raised her hand to rub the space between her brows. Unexpectedly, a familiar yet faint fragrance suddenly came from under her nose, a pair of long and slender hands nimbly pressed down on her temples with gentle force.

Xi Xiaye felt comfortable. She did not open her eyes, but her tone was a little gentle. “When did you come back? Didn’t hear any sound of your footsteps at all.”

“Are you scared? I saw that you were speaking seriously and didn’t want to disturb you. Was it a call from Xi Xinyi?”

The man’s deep and gentle voice was heard from behind her.
