Xi Xiaye thought about it for a moment, and before he could say anything, she continued, “Right, something’s happened on Qi Lei’s end. Qi Feng and the rest want to chase Qi Lei out of City Z. Qi Lei’s had a fall out with Qi Qiming over this. Right now, I don’t know what the situation is, but I heard that Qi Qiming’s compromised.”

“Fall out? Well, that’s a good thing too. If Qi Qiming gives in, he won’t need to leave. Even if that happens, Qi Feng won’t let this go so easily.” Mu Yuchen did not seem surprised by what Qi Feng had done at all.

“Mmm, I’ll watch out for him. Don’t worry. What’s happened on your end? Are you at the hospital? Did something happen to you?”

“I’m fine, but something’s happened to Zimo. Keep it to yourself. I might not be able to return so soon since there are a lot of things to handle over here. Take good care of yourself and remember what I told you.”

“I know. Don’t worry. I’m not a child. Go rest soon. I can hear that you’re quite tired. Just do your things when you wake up.”

“Okay, remember to get our son to call for his father every day,” he said.

“Got it. You’re so long-winded. I’m driving now. Bye.”

Xi Xiaye then hung up, but there was a smile on her face. This man would always use a roundabout way to remind her to miss him. Before they had a son, he did not have an excuse, but now that they had their son, he would always bring this up.

Xi Xiaye could see through Mu Yuchen’s thoughts, but not as well as he could see through her. He could always immediately tell what was on her mind.

When she reached the airport, she was right on time. Xi Xiaye had just walked over when she saw Shen Wenna holding Shen Yue and walking out. Shen Yue was dressed in a gray casual outfit with Mu Zirui in hand. Meanwhile, Xi Mushan stood on Shen Yue’s other side, and behind them was a bodyguard in black handling the luggage.

Shen Wenna wore a brown dress, a sun hat, and large sunglasses. She seemed very fashionable. Standing beside Xi Mushan who wore a black leisure outfit, they looked very matching.

Mu Zirui wore a fresh pair of shorts and a shirt, appearing more tanned than before although he looked very healthy. A rare smile hung across Shen Yue’s aged face too. You could tell that they all had a lot of fun.

“Mother! Mother! Right here! Mother! We’re here!”

From afar, Mu Zirui saw Xi Xiaye who stood at the departure gate, so he wriggled free of Shen Yue excitedly and ran towards Xi Xiaye.

His little figure flew through the crowd and soon reached Xi Xiaye as he spread his arms open.

Xi Xiaye smiled gladly and swiftly squatted down to embrace Mu Zirui’s little body. She struggled a little to pick him up as she smiled and said, “You’re back! Mmm…you’re much heavier now!”

“We ate well and slept well, and we had so much fun every day. Everyone is a little chubbier, but, Mother, don’t worry. Xiao Rui will definitely watch my weight! Mother, I miss you so much, mmm? Where’s Father? And little brother? Mother, put me down. I’m a grown man. I don’t need you to carry me!”

Mu Zirui then looked a little shyly at Xi Xiaye as he struggled to get down.

Xi Xiaye lifted a hand to knock his little head as she laughed. “You little brat, you know how to be shy now, huh? Grown man and all…Your father’s gone abroad for work and your brother’s at home. Your hair’s so long already, hmm? Tomorrow, I’ll bring you out for a cut, and at the same time get you some new clothes. School’s going to reopen soon. Are you done with all your holiday homework?”

“I finished a long time ago. I’ll let you check it tonight, Mother! Great-grandpa, Grandfather, and Grandmother supervise my homework every day.”

“Mmm, it’s good to have fun, but you can’t slack on homework. Otherwise, humans will become stupid!”

…

Shen Yue, Shen Wenna, and Xi Mushan quickly came up to them.

“Grandpa, Father, Mother! You’re finally back! Dinner’s ready at the Shen Residence. It’ll be just in time for us to go back now. Rest well in the coming two days to get over the jetlag.”

When she saw that they all seemed like they were in a pretty good state, Xi Xiaye felt at ease.

“Mmm, let’s go home first. You look like you’ve become thin though!” Shen Yue looked at Xi Xiaye and began to worry.

Along the way, he had actually been thinking about Wang Hui. He never expected that optimistic and warmhearted old lady to be gone just like that, so it was a little hard to accept. When he found out about the news, Shen Yue was shocked on the spot. He was stupefied, then he felt gloomy for a few days. After that, they went around for a bit before he recovered.

Xi Xiaye nodded and did not say too much.

“Mmm, the car’s outside. Let’s go home!”

The row of them then left the airport in a grandiose manner, making their way to the Shen residence.

They had dinner at the Shen residence. While they were eating, Xi Xiaye briefly told them about Wang Hui and Mu Lingshi, and all the things that had happened recently. After they listened, they all felt a little gloomy, but they mostly felt deep sorrow.

Not long after dinner, Xi Xiaye helped Shen Yue upstairs to wash up and lie down to rest. When she came out, she saw Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna on the living room sofa, watching television as they discussed the new semester at the university.

Xi Xiaye thought about it for a moment and planned to talk to them, so she walked over and sat down on the sofa.

“Is your grandpa asleep?” Shen Wenna’s tone was gentle as she asked.

After she reconciled with Xi Mushan, Shen Wenna seemed more elegant and gentle now. As she observed this, Xi Xiaye sometimes suspected that she was not as young as her mother.

Xi Xiaye nodded silently as she poured two glasses of water for them, then replied, “Mmm, he’s asleep. He was probably a little tired from the flight.”

“Your grandfather’s old. This time, when we went around, he clearly couldn’t quite keep up physically, so we need to let him walk around more from now on,” Shen Wenna responded as she took the glass of water from Xi Xiaye.

“Father, a while back, I bumped into Xi Xinyi who said that Yue Lingsi’s not doing too well. Before this, Ah Chen talked about it to you and Mother. At this point, it’s time to settle it once and for all. Whether willing or not, perhaps that’s no longer important right now.”

Xi Xiaye was not pitying Xi Xinyi or Yue Lingsi. She just felt that this whole matter should have an end to it. Since Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi only asked after so long, they must have taken a long time to think this through.
