No matter what, as long as they were willing to go home with him, that was a good thing. As for the rest, they could take it slow.

Now, even if he had not realized it, he was looking forward to a life like this.

For half his life, he practically led a lone ranger life, yet there were not many days when he truly enjoyed the life of a harmonious family because all these years, he had been mostly running around, and all his thoughts were put into Hui Gu.

However, all the recent things that happened suddenly made him feel quite worn out and exhausted.

He thought to himself that if he could start over, he probably would not have chosen the life he led.

The days seemed to pass by calmly, and it was only in such calm that it suddenly felt like the degree of stiffness before their departure intensified.

The day they left on was a Thursday. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye did not go to the office but went over to the old Mu residence instead. Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong were around too, so the family gathered and had a reunion lunch. After a brief rest post-lunch, the whole family walked Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi out.

At the entrance of the old Mu residence, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were busy helping put the luggage into the car while Zhuang Shurong held Mu Lingshi and reminded her reluctantly, “When you’re there, remember to call us. Whenever you want to come home, come home, and call home often, alright?”

Mu Tangchuan stood silently by the side too while Ah Mo held Mu Yinan.

“I will! Grandfather, Father, Mother, there’s no need to send me off. Just go back in. It’s cold out here. Brother and Sister-in-law will send us to the airport. Once it’s the Lunar New Year and when the baby’s here, come over. I heard City B’s a pretty good place too. I should be able to adapt quite quickly, so don’t worry about us. Ah Mo went there frequently before this. It’ll be fine,” Mu Lingshi held back the sadness she felt as she consoled.

She looked up at this heartwarming old residence and her eyes that hid underneath those shades suddenly teared up. She would miss it.

She was reluctant to leave this place, a place that she had lived in for many years. It held all of her good memories.

“Let’s keep the long story short. It’s about time now. Don’t miss your flight. It’s not like you’re rushing off anywhere. Whenever you want to come home, come home. Home will be right here. You’re all grown up now, and you should have your own lives. As young people, you’ll live a full life when you’ve got something to go after. You don’t have to worry too much about us over here. If anything doesn’t go well there, just give Grandfather a call. It’s not easy to get used to a new place, so the two of you must take care of yourselves and discuss with each other if you need anything,” Mu Yinan spoke earnestly.

He turned to Ah Mo and said, “Take good care of Lingshi. Make sure your wife’s taken care of. If you can’t solve anything, call home. We’ll all help.”

“Yes, Grandfather, don’t worry. We know. You take care of yourself too,” Ah Mo responded.

Mu Yinan nodded and patted Ah Mo’s wrist. “Alright then. Get into the car.”

“Get in. Your rooms at home will be kept for you, so come home whenever you want to.”

“Mmm, take care, Grandfather! Father, Mother, take care of yourselves too.”

“You two take care of yourselves too. Get into the car!”

…

She could not bear this scene of departure. When Mu Lingshi turned to get into the car, her eyes were all wet, so Ah Mo gave her a tissue. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were sitting in front with Xi Xiaye driving.

“I’ve already arranged for everything over there, so you can go to the office branch if there’s anything. However, it’s not the office over here, so you’ll have to be careful too. That place is considered Gu Qiwu’s turf, but it’s better than hiding about here.”

After the car had driven for a while, Mu Yuchen who had not made a sound suddenly turned to look at Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi behind.

Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi exchanged a look, then the two of them nodded. “We got it, Brother. Don’t worry too much about us. We’ve been out there for many years now, so we know how to protect ourselves.”

“Mmm, the way you two are right now makes me feel more assured. Don’t get involved in those things now. You’ve finally got relatively peaceful days, and I don’t want the two of you to be dragged into those matters anymore, understand?”

The two of them may not realize the amount of thought that Mu Yuchen had put into things. It was not easy to have gotten to this point. Others might not know how much he had sacrificed, but Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi were well aware.

That was why Mu Lingshi accepted things without hesitation. She did not want to let everyone down. She wanted to be a brand new Mu Lingshi to be able to protect the people she cared about.

“Yes, Brother, I won’t let you down. No matter what happens, I will always be Mu Lingshi, the Mu family’s daughter,” Mu Lingshi said in a slightly raspy voice.

“Just take good care of yourself. After New Year the next year when the child’s here, I’ll go over to visit you with your sis-in-law.”

…

Along the way, the few of them chatted, and even though the journey was long, it felt extremely short. In what seemed like a few breaths, they reached the airport.

They had just gotten down from the car when they saw the people that Gu Qiwu had sent for in the VIP lane.

The few of them did not have time to say much as it was already time to board the plane. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye only had time to give Mu Lingshi a hug.

Gu Qiwu was waiting at the boarding gate. When he saw Mu Lingshi and Ah Mo, he seemed to be relieved. Upon looking up to see Mu Yuchen and those unfathomable eyes of his, he felt slightly pressured.

However, Mu Yuchen did not go forward. He just held Xi Xiaye’s hand and quickly looked away to watch Mu Lingshi and Ah Mo walk towards the boarding gate…

The airplane cabin door finally closed slowly, and all their figures went out of sight.

The plane soon rolled out onto the runway and made its way into the blue sky. Eventually, the large plane turned into a little black dot and vanished in the faraway sky.

Xi Xiaye was actually in a bad mood. She did not know why, but as she watched the empty sky, she suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

Sometimes, in love and in life, people had no choice but to compromise, and very unfortunately, they were people who had to experience these circumstances.

She was a little sad, so when the man beside her interlocked his fingers with hers, she could not help but turn and lean into his embrace to say softly, “I hope they’ll be happy.”

Stunned, he lifted a hand to hug her tightly and responded, “They will be.”
