Chapter 2298: Chapter 664: One Year Later (41)

Later, Qin Mu and Lun Yun kept chatting happily, and even Chen Xiaoyi joined in the conversation, leaving Feng Fanghua a bit confused.

Afterwards, Qin Mu went to see off Lun Yun and Chen Xiaoyi, and Lun Yun held on to Qin Mu and Chen Xiaoyi’s arms fondly, unwilling to let go, while Chen Xiaoyi stopped somewhat awkwardly.

There weren’t many stars in the night sky; the night was cold and lonely.

"I’m sorry for intruding so abruptly, I must have startled you?"

Chen Xiaoyi said softly to Qin Mu.

"This was all your mother-in-law’s idea. We met her at the beauty salon today, and she insisted on inviting Xiaoyi to dinner. Xiaoyi was worried about causing misunderstandings, so she brought me along."

Lun Yun explained quietly to Qin Mu, not minding at all that Mu Yichen was standing behind them.

Qin Mu glanced at Lun Yun, feeling a mutual sense of cherishing, then smiled and looked at Chen Xiaoyi: "It’s okay!"

"I’m relieved to hear you say that. Yichen is a good husband; cherish him well. Let’s find a chance to meet alone outside."

Chen Xiaoyi nodded and said to Qin Mu.

After the three women bid farewell, Qin Mu stood in the yard for a long time, gazing at the place where they had left, lost in thought.

Only then did Mu Yichen walk slowly to her side, draping a shawl over her shoulders.

Qin Mu slightly lifted her eyes, wrapped the shawl around herself, keeping her gaze forward, and said softly: "She’s such a good woman!"

Mu Yichen didn’t even glance outside, only looking at her slightly cold profile, her fingertips reddened from the cold, yet still concerned about others being good women.

What’s the point if she is? What’s the point if she’s not?

Anyway, a lifetime is so short, and he didn’t understand how others could love so many; but him, he’s like this.

Qin Mu heard nothing from him for a while, then turned to look at him.

Mu Yichen glanced at her indifferently, then turned around and walked inside: "I’ll go call Chengcheng and Huanhuan; you don’t need to go in."

Qin Mu...

After Mu Yichen went inside, he took Qin Mu’s coat and bag, calling for Chengcheng and Huanhuan. As Qin Mu was waiting outside, the elder returned, and the driver went to the back to open the car for the elder, which Qin Mu saw and walked over.

The elder seemed a lot older, looking even more kindly than a few years ago.

Qin Mu walked over smiling to greet: "Grandfather, you’ve returned!"

"Hmm! Why are you standing outside?"

The elder looked at her happily but puzzled by her thin attire standing outside.

"I just came out to see off friends; I’m about to go back now!"

Qin Mu explained softly, while Mu Yichen was already coming out with the children, carrying her coat.

The elder lifted his eyes and then nodded: "Well, that’s good! Go back and rest early. When you have time, come accompany this old man for some chess, hmm?"

"Mm!"

Qin Mu nodded in agreement.

Mu Yichen’s car beeped once, indicating it was unlocked.

Qin Mu only got in the car after she saw the elder had gone far.

"Goodbye, great-grandfather!"

"Goodbye, great-grandfather!"

As the siblings got in the car, they didn’t forget to say goodbye to the elder, who waved at them, looking a bit like an old child, making the two little kids giggle at the window.

The car gently left the Mu Family, and Qin Mu’s mind and body relaxed, enjoying the scenery along the road.

Somewhere behind the car, fireworks were being set off, and upon hearing the sound, the two little kids eagerly kneeled on the backseat, peering out the window to catch glimpses, albeit fleeting.

The tall buildings in the city largely blocked the view of the fireworks.

"Mommy, look, fireworks!"

Huanhuan and Chengcheng were a bit excited, occasionally catching a glimpse, and joyfully called out to the front.

Qin Mu turned her eyes slightly but didn’t say anything.

Mu Yichen suddenly turned the car: "I’ll take you to the beach house."

Qin Mu instinctively looked at him: "Going to the beach house now?"

"Mm!"

Qin Mu said nothing, wondering why go suddenly; that house had been bought yet hardly visited, and it must be very cold tonight!

The body seemed more afraid of the cold, but one seemed increasingly able to endure it; this life, Qin Mu truly didn’t know.

"Is dad taking us to the beach house to set off fireworks?"

Huanhuan got even more excited when she heard they were going to the beach house.

Qin Mu chuckled helplessly, thinking a child’s heart is always so spirited.

"Tomorrow night maybe; tonight let’s stay there first."

Mu Yichen said.

"But mommy said..."

"Shh! Don’t speak nonsense!"

Chengcheng, hearing dad’s words, remembered what mom said to them in the afternoon, but before he could finish, his sister covered his mouth.
