Therefore, Qin Su was very open-minded. As long as they did not go overboard, she could not be bothered to care. After all, this was their way of getting along, and their way of life. Others might not be able to get involved, so she might as well let them be.
“Uncle and Auntie are still the same. Actually, maybe this is because they are used to it. Some people just spend their lives arguing, if there is no one at home to argue with, they might find life meaningless instead. You just have to watch them.”
Leng Xinran had always been more open-minded than Qin Su, and she had helped with a lot of Qin Su’s thought process.
“Actually, you don’t have to be envious of me. Every family has their own difficulties. Sometimes, I really hope that they will leave each other and find a true home for each other. There is nothing wrong with that.”
“You are not them. Perhaps you won’t know what they are thinking. Perhaps they have long been used to each other’s existence. If it were someone else, they would not be used to it. For example, you have already started to slowly get used to Zhou Zimo. If it were someone else, you might not be happy.”
“What you’re saying does make sense. Now, I’ll let them do whatever they want.”
“Mmm, don’t think too much. Let’s go back and get you a cup of hot water.”
“Okay.”
…
At this moment, on the sofa in the corner of the banquet hall, Mu Yuchen, Su Chen, Qi Lei, Zhou Zimo, and Qi Lei were drinking and chatting while Qi Qiming and the rest received the guests.
Mu Zicheng sat next to Mu Yuchen, playing with Mu Yuchen’s phone in his hand. Of course, the little guy do not really know how to use the phone. He just casually played with it, not caring about what the adults were talking about.
Mu Xiaocheng was almost three years old. He could walk quite steadily, and his speech was basically very clear. Although he was active, he liked to be alone. He played by himself and was very quiet. The little guy was also very smart and learned very quickly.
As Mu Yuchen and the others were talking, the little guy’s phone suddenly vibrated. Mu Xiaocheng’s eyes widened as he swiped the answer button. His young voice rang too—
“Daddy, it’s a phone call!”
As he spoke, he handed the phone to Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen reached out to take it as he patted his little head. The little guy immediately pushed Mu Yuchen’s big hands away. He did not like people touching his head!
The phone call was from Zhuang Shurong.
“Mother?”
“Ah Chen? It’s me. I’m going to Lingshi’s place these two days. Your father will be going home to rest for a few days. You and Xiaye can bring the children back to take a look.”
Zhuang Shurong had been running around City B quite frequently recently because Mu Lingshi was pregnant with another child. It had been a few months. Zhuang Shurong was worried that Mu Lingshi would not have anyone to take care of her, so she often went over to take a look. The first few months were more important.
“Got it. Stay there for a few more days. Xiao Cheng’s parents will help take care of her.”
“Okay. Oh right, Ah Mo is quite busy with work. You…”
Zhuang Shurong hesitated for a moment before saying again.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for a person-in-charge to assist him. He’s in charge of Hui Gu now. I didn’t arrange anything else for him.”
Mu Yuchen knew what Zhuang Shurong was worried about. Ah Mo was indeed very busy, especially now that Mu Lingshi was not feeling well. Almost everything over there was on him.
“That’s good then. You guys are usually too busy. You have to know how to rest properly. Your father is the same too. He had a stomach perforation a while ago, and it wasn’t easy for him to get better. Now, he’s working hard on his work. You and Xiaye should try to persuade him more often. Everything I say goes in one ear and out the other. He doesn’t have much authority anymore.”
Zhuang Shurong sounded a little worried. Mu Tangchuan’s health had always been poor, especially his stomach. Fortunately, after she retired, she took good care of him. Now, it was much better.
“Doesn’t Father listen to you the most? As long as you ask dad strictly about these things, he should listen too. I will remind him, you don’t have to worry.”
After Zhuang Shurong retired, she no longer had the aura of a strong woman like before. Instead, she was much gentler. Now, she was mostly concerned about the children’s health and some daily matters. With Zhuang Shurong around, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were much more at ease. At least, they did not have to worry about anything at home. Even now, the children’s homework was personally supervised by Zhuang Shurong.
Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er were being taken care of by Zhuang Shurong after school. Zhuang Shurong sent them back to Maple Residence first and then urged them to finish their homework before they went back to the Mu residence.
“If he really listens to me, he won’t have a stomachache. Alright, I won’t say anymore. I’m getting in the car.”
Zhuang Shurong said a few more words before hanging up.
“Grandmother, are you going to visit Aunty?”
Mu Xiaocheng’s ears were really sharp. He had been listening to Mu Yuchen and Zhuang Shurong’s conversation.
“Mmm, I’m going to visit Aunty.”
“Then, who’s going to accompany Grandfather?”
Mu Xiaocheng’s eyes blinked as he stared fixedly at Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen raised his handsome brows in surprise.
He had heard from Zhuang Shurong that this son of his liked to stay by Mu Tangchuan’s side.
“I want to go visit Grandfather.”
When the little thing saw that Mu Yuchen did not answer, it seemed like he had made some difficult decision. As he spoke, he looked at the phone in Mu Yuchen’s hand. His intentions were clear.
Mu Yuchen smiled playfully. “Alright, let Grandfather come and pick you up later?”
“Mmm!”
The little guy then nodded. At this moment, Su Chen, who had been watching from the side, had already reached out to gently pinch Mu Xiaocheng’s fair and tender little face. He smiled and said, “Xiaocheng, how about Uncle Su marry Sister Jingling to you? Let her play with you, okay?”
Marry?
Of course, Mu Xiaocheng did not understand what he meant, so he immediately turned to look at his father.
“Marrying means letting her follow you by your side like Mother accompanying Father.”
Mu Yuchen carried him up and let him sit on his lap as he explained.
The little guy thought about it as if he understood, then he shook his head, “She likes to cry too much… It’s not fun. Little sister Qi Lan is more fun… She’ll open and close her eyes. Daddy, why doesn’t she say anything? Little brother Dongfang Ye is the same… Their eyes are so small, and their hands are so small…”
“Haha, Su Chen, your precious daughter is being despised. She’s a crybaby. It seems like Mu Xiaocheng cares more about Qi Lan!”
Zhou Zimo could not hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. Su Chen’s face was ashen as he glared at Zhou Zimo.
Qi Lei, who was silent at the side, had a smile on his face!
Do not doubt it. At this moment, as a father, he was too proud!
He was indeed the son-in-law that he had set his eyes on. In the future, he would definitely let his precious daughter take down Mu Xiaocheng!
