Chapter 1987: Anticipation (3)

Qi Wei’er was not shy. When she saw Qi Lei, she still felt quite familiar with him.

“Wei’er, I told you before that you’ll be going to stay with Uncle Qi Lei for two days, you said that you were willing? Don’t worry, Xiao Rui will go back with you, hmm?”

Xi Xiaye reached out to pat her little head as she helped her tidy up her school uniform.

When Qi Wei’er heard this, she looked up at Mu Yuchen. When she saw Mu Yuchen nod, she looked at Qi Lei beside her. When she saw Qi Lei smiling and looking at her with anticipation, she then turned to look at Mu Zirui.

Mu Zirui quietly looked at her as well. He looked up at Mu Yuchen. When he saw Mu Yuchen nod in acquiescence, he then nodded at Qi Wei’er.

This time, Qi Wei’er nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Alright then…”

As Qi Wei’er said this, she reached out to Qi Lei.

Qi Lei smiled and quickly reached out to hold her hand.

“Don’t worry. Uncle and Aunt will take you to play for the next two days. I’ll send you back the day after tomorrow, Alright?” Qi Lei said in a deep voice.

“Mmm.”

The two children nodded in unison.

“Alright, you two go back and play with Uncle Qi Lei for two days. Father and Mother are quite busy these next two days too. I’ll bring you two to see the underwater world next week. Be obedient, okay?”

Mu Yuchen took a step forward and patted the two children’s heads.

“Mmm, we got it, Father.”

“I’ll get the butler to send their clothes over when we get back.” Mu Yuchen said as he looked to Qi Lei.

“No need. Liuyun has already prepared their rooms at the Grand Lake Villa area. They’re all arranged according to the style of Maple Residence.”

“Uncle, did you prepare any toys for us? I want that new model of the high-powered cannon. It’s the model we saw on TV the last time. It’s new. I’ve checked it out. Uncle Qi Lei, didn’t you say you wanted to give me one?”

Mu Zirui looked at Qi Lei with anticipation.

“I’ll give it to you if you meet the final exam standards. Remember our agreement.”

Qi Lei reached out and tapped his forehead.

Mu Zirui glanced at him and said disapprovingly, “It’s only a matter of time. It’s better to give it to me earlier than later.”

Mu Zirui’s tone immediately made Qi Lei laugh. He quickly rubbed his head and smiled. “Your arrogant and unmodest look really resembles your father. It really is true, like father like son.”

“It’s good to be a little confident, but you have to be humble and introverted. You can’t be arrogant. Remember everything, hmm?”

Mu Yuchen tapped Mu Zirui’s head helplessly. He smiled and glanced at Xi Xiaye. Xi Xiaye reached out to pinch Mu Zirui’s little face, “You’re just like your brother. You like to be smug. Alright, it’s getting late. It’s pretty cold. Hurry up and leave. Call Mother and Father if anything.”

“Okay, bye, Mother and Father!”

The two children then said goodbye to Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye.

“We’ll head back first then. We’ll send them back the day after tomorrow.”

Qi Lei also said goodbye.

“Mmm, head back then.”

…

Qi Lei brought the two children into the car. In the blink of an eye, the car quickly drove away from Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye’s sight.

“I feel that Qi Lei seems to have become more human these past two years, especially after he got married. Do you think so too?”

Xi Xiaye looked in the direction where Qi Lei’s car had disappeared and suddenly said.

“People change. The more things he experiences, the different his state of mind will become.”

Mu Yuchen seemed to have some sympathy for this. Was he not like this back then?

Before they got married, he was just cold and indifferent. He was indifferent to everything, but after they got married and fell in love with her, he slowly became more attentive and wanted more and more things.

This was not a bad phenomenon. At least, this way, he could live more realistically, right?

“People always need time to settle down. How many people will start thinking of the past when they’ve lived to a certain age? They always fantasize about the past if…”

Xi Xiaye did not continue. Mu Yuchen obviously understood what she did not say after that. He thought about it and comforted her, “I hope that our memories in the future will be all the good times we have now.”

“Of course, I want that too.”

Xi Xiaye looked at him and smiled.

“It’s not that I want it, it’s for sure. Alright, get in the car. We won’t be going home tonight. We’re going to watch a movie. I haven’t taken you out for a long time, we have to bring the rascals along every time.”

Mu Yuchen’s lips turned gentle as he said this.

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye’s eyes lit up. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she teased, “What? Mr. Mu is planning to invite me to accompany you for a night? A candlelit dinner?”

“Well, would you be willing to do me the honor, Missus?”

Mu Yuchen glanced at her in amusement and was quite cooperative.

“Since you’re so sincere, I have to do you a favor.”

Xi Xiaye then opened the car door and got in.

Mu Yuchen smiled and got in the car as well.

“You’ve been quite busy these past few days. Rest well for the next two days. President Chen’s son is having a party tomorrow and he’s on the boat. He might be going out to sea. Do you want to go over and relax?”

“What about you?” Xi Xiaye asked.

“I have to socialize for a while. President Li is coming to City Z tomorrow night to accompany him for a two-day inspection.”

“If you’re not going, there’s no point for me to go alone,” Xi Xiaye said dispiritedly. “I’ll go back to the Shen residence to take a look then. Then I’ll accompany Mother, it’s been quite hard on her these past few days with the children.”

Xi Xiaye respected and liked her mother-in-law, Zhuang Shurong very much. She was generous and decent, and she was very understanding and elegant. Her aura was very attractive to Xi Xiaye.

“You seem to care a lot about mother.”

Mu Yuchen smiled.

“Of course. Mother is my goddess in my heart. She’s already in her fifties or sixties, yet she’s still so beautiful and noble. Don’t you know that of the many times I’ve gone out with her, everyone thinks that she’s my sister and says that we don’t seem like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Also, didn’t you see that I’ve changed the style of my clothes recently? It’s all mother’s doing for me.”

When Xi Xiaye said this, Mu Yuchen turned his gaze away and glanced at her. When he saw that her clothes were more gentle and luxurious than before, he raised his handsome brows and praised her generously, “It’s a grade higher than before.”

“You mean my taste was bad before?”

Xi Xiaye frowned.

Mu Yuchen paused and coughed lightly. He felt a little wronged. “Then, Mrs. Mu, how do you think I should respond to you and make you happy? If I say no, you won’t be happy, if I say yes, you’ll put on a straight face?”
