Chapter 921: The Plan Soon to be Completed

“Jiu,” I know you wouldn’t, you’ve always been such a good child.”

Wen Yu looked at him with loving eyes, her gaze fixed on Mu Xiaojiu’s increasingly desolate face.

Helplessly, she sighed, “Mrs.

Wen can’t always be there to watch over you, but, Mrs.

Wen and he have always been thinking about you.”

“I’ll try to find time to see you all,” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was hoarse as he tried to make his words sound clearer.

Wen Yu shook her head, her eyes once again falling on his Adam’s apple, her mood heavy, “These years, I know I’ve wronged you, and made things difficult for you.”

“But, our plan will soon be completed, right?”

“Once the plan is completed, everything will get better, and I won’t let you suffer any more injustices.”

“My child, just endure a little longer, once we get through this phase, everything will be okay.”

He nodded, this time without saying a word.

Wen Yu wanted to hold his hand and ruffle his hair.

But he had grown up, no longer the little boy he once was, and her touch had started to make him uncomfortable.

She was truly helpless, as someone who had watched him grow up, to one day be met with such resistance from him.

How much must her heart ache?

“Alright then, Mrs. Wen has seen you now, I must go.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes flickered with surprise, wanting to speak.

But she waved her hand and said, smiling, “You know I can’t stay here for long.

If they discover me, it will only harm you, raising their suspicions about you.”

This time, disregarding his resistance, she firmly grasped his hand, “Jiu, Mrs.

Wen really misses you, and he does too.

We will soon all be back together as a family.”

“Just hold on and carry out our plan step by step.

Don’t let anyone disrupt our pace or influence you.”

“Promise Mrs.

Wen, you must make it happen!”

Mu Xiaojiu’s palm kept clenching tighter, his gaze growing darker, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak or nod.

He didn’t want to lie to her; he had been influenced, truly influenced.

He really wanted to lead a peaceful life with the girl, just like ordinary people.

Yet, why did he have to bear so many burdens?

“Jiu!” Mrs.

Wen’s voice became more stern, and the grip on his hands tightened.

Mu Xiaojiu closed his eyes and exhaled softly before finally nodding at her.

…

Wen Yu left, and Mu Xiaojiu had intended to escort her out himself.

But because his throat was so painful, Wen Yu insisted he stay and rest, waiting for the medicinal soup that Nangong Xu was preparing.

So, he stayed, letting Ye Hua and Leng Yu escort her out of Jin City together.

Wen Yu’s trip to Jin City, of course, wasn’t just a simple matter of seeing him.

She was doing “his” work, naturally, there were many things to keep her busy.

However, whatever they were doing, it was all for the common plan they shared.

For this cause, they were still traveling and toiling at their age.

On the contrary, it was him who had, indeed, put many things aside because of the little creature’s presence.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to work, didn’t want to share their burdens, or didn’t want revenge.

Just that…

he was so reluctant to end these beautiful days, so…

reluctant to part with the little creature.

Nangong Xu’s medicine had arrived, but he hadn’t even touched it.

It was only after Ye Hua called to say that Mrs.

Wen had been successfully put on the plane that he finally turned and walked out the door.

Leaving the house, what to do?

It seemed even he didn’t know.

He just aimlessly wandered, and before he knew it, found himself beneath the main house’s corner tower.
