As she watched her son’s figure slowly disappear into the school gate, Xi Xiaye did not move for a long time.
Until the man beside her reached out to pull her
“Alright, let’s go back. Everyone’s inside.”
Mu Yuchen’s voice sounded a little sigh. He naturally knew what she was thinking.
Sure enough, at this moment, Xi Xiaye sighed softly as well, “When they were still young and followed by my side, I always hoped that they would grow up quickly. But now that they’ve grown up and going to leave home, leave us, I suddenly wish that they won’t grow up so quickly. Now, it’s Xiao Rui. In the future, there’ll be Xiao Cheng, Xiao Shu, and Wei’er. They’ll all leave home one by one like this. I’m afraid that only the two of us will be left at home. Time passes too quickly. Sometimes, it’s really hard to know what to do…”
Xi Xiaye’s voice was a little worried.
“It’s a good thing that children can go their own way for their own future. They’ll always have their own future. Alright, let’s go back. Don’t you still have me?”
As Mu Yuchen said this, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her as they walked towards the car.
On the way back, it was Xi Xiaye who drove.
“Are we going straight home? Mother should be bringing Xiaocheng and the others back this afternoon.”
Xi Xiaye asked.
The man beside her said slowly, “I’ll accompany you to New Era. Didn’t you say that you haven’t gone shopping for a long time?”
Mu Yuchen did not forget about this.
“Mmm, that’s fine too. I’ll get some clothes for the children. A few days ago, Wei’er said that the new servant prepared clothes for her that didn’t look good. It’s not as comfortable as before.”
“Weren’t you the one who bought it for her before? Then, let’s see what style she likes. Buy some for Xiaocheng and Xiao Shu too. I’ll get Li Si and the others to come over,” Mu Yuchen said.
Xi Xiaye thought about it for a moment before nodding. “Alright then, let’s go over and take a look.”
“There’s a flower show at Fragrant Hill tomorrow. Anyway, you…”
“I’ll go with you.”
Mu Yuchen did not wait for her to finish speaking and just agreed. Anyway, things in the company were very stable now. Over the years, many capable people had been promoted and assigned tasks. As the boss himself, it was a lot easier now. He could spend more time with her now, so he would do whatever XI Xiaye asked.
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye chuckled. “I realize that you’re getting closer to perfection. Do you really want to be a 24-year-old dutiful husband?”
“I thought I’ve always been a 24-year-old dutiful husband in your heart?”
Mu Yuchen squinted at her without any modesty.
Xi Xiaye chuckled. “No, I can’t give you full marks. I’m just afraid that you’ll be proud. I’m very worried now. Just now, my son even told me to watch out for you. Your market price is too high.”
“Just listen to his nonsense. Even Xiaocheng is targeting me. My sons are protecting you. We’re an old married couple now. We’re not used to changes. Why do you care about that?”
Mu Yuchen said calmly.
“I know, but they say that you have to live in sorrow and die in peace.”
“Do you understand the meaning of this? Nonsense.”
Mu Yuchen glanced at her, but he was smiling inwardly
She definitely thought that way. She was very wary of those women, yet she pretended not to care in front of him.
However, even in this state, he still loved her deeply and did not care what she did. In any case, those women had nothing to do with him as long as she was happy.
In this lifetime, he was only responsible for her emotions. He was not interested in other women at all.
This was a type of illness that only she could treat, but he was willing to endure it.
“Don’t you think that makes sense?”
Xi Xiaye smiled.
“Do I cause you that much worry?”
“I’m worried about those women. Look at me, I’m already in my 30s. When I woke up this morning, I could clearly see the wrinkles at the corner of my eyes.”
Xi Xiaye pouted and said helplessly.
“Otherwise, do you really think that you’ll stay young forever and be 18 forever? You’re already a mother of a few children. You should be getting wrinkles by now.”
Mu Yuchen looked at her helplessly.
Perhaps women were just like that. They were afraid of their own age and could not withstand the baptism of time, while men were still fine.
Women were born weak. No matter what, he should protect her well.
“Time is a butcher’s knife, Mr. Mu.”
“The children are still young. Otherwise, we can retire a few years earlier. Then, I can travel with you.”
“You’d better not think about the children first. Xiao Rui is about 10 years old. It will be difficult for him to take over the company. The child is determined to be a general. As for our son, he is only eight years old. He will need to be in his 20s before he can think about this problem. We have to persist for another 20 years. By then, you will be 60 years old, and I will also be in my 50s.”
“Hey, Mr. Mu, when that time comes, will you be like those people? With a big belly, you’ll look like you’ve put on weight?”
In Xi Xiaye’s heart, she imagined how Mu Yuchen’s figure would go out of shape.
“This can’t happen to me either. I’m someone who pays a lot of attention to my image. I pay attention to training to maintain my figure.”
Mu Yuchen smiled.
“You’ve maintained a pretty good figure now. Then, continue to maintain it. Look at my figure after I gave birth to Xiao Shu. It’s not out of shape either. Shouldn’t you praise me?”
When he heard this, the man turned around and looked at Xi Xiaye up and down with a meaningful gaze. He was rather amused. “By discussing this with me at this time, are you hinting that I should work harder when I go back tonight?”
Xi Xiaye was stunned when she heard this. Then, her face could not help but turn red as she glanced at him. “That’s all you can think about. Hey, Mr. Mu, do you feel that the older you get, the more you’re like that?”
“Like what?”
Mu Yuchen pretended that he did not understand. He raised his handsome brows and looked at her with a faint smile.
Really, it felt pretty good to tease this little woman like this.
“Stop it! You’re acting all serious,” Xi Xiaye scolded him softly.
“If I’m serious with you, you’ll have to worry. Xi Xiaye is one of a kind in this world. Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m in love with only you?”
“You…”
The redness on Xi Xiaye’s face became more obvious.
At this moment, he chuckled softly. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
“Why are you so annoying?”
Xi Xiaye then said gloomily. As he listened, the smile on his face became more obvious.
