A flight to New York?

Xi Xiaye’s words stunned Xiao Mei who stared at her dumbfounded.

“CEO Xi…are you going on a trip?” Xiao Mei asked.

Xi Xiaye frowned and lowered her head. She did not reply and just looked at the documents before her.

Xiao Mei did not force her to answer as she seemed unwilling. “Do you want a flight for tomorrow or the day after?”

“Check if there’s a flight for tonight. Also, tell Uncle Lan to come to see me.”

“Tonight!?” Xiao Mei was stunned once again.

Was it that urgent?

However, she just nodded without asking any questions before leaving the office.

Xiao Mei quickly booked the flight. It was scheduled at 8 p.m. that night.

Xi Xiaye went to pick Mu Zirui up soon after. She sent him over to the Shen residence before returning to Maple Residence. She thought that leaving him there would be better since Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan would be free to take care of him during the holidays.

She met Zhuang Shurong back in Maple Residence. She thought about bringing Mu Xiaocheng along on her trip to New York, but Zhuang Shurong stopped her. “You should just go alone. How are you going to have fun with this little guy around? Your father is on holiday. He planned to spend some time with your grandfather, and Lingshi isn’t going anywhere as well, so just leave Xiao Cheng at home. We’ll look after him.”

“But aren’t you going to go somewhere with Father?” Xi Xiaye was hesitant.

Zhuang Shurong smiled. “Where to? It’ll be crowded everywhere during the holiday season, so we might as well stay at home and get some rest. It’s been a tough period of time for the two of you. Ask Ah Chen to bring you around and have some fun. Leave the kids with us.”

“Mother…” Xi Xiaye called out to her.

“Go and pack up. There’s no need to bring clothes. Tell him to prepare them for you over there. Xiao Cheng is asleep now. Let me go make you some dinner before you go. It’s going to be a long flight!” Zhuang Shurong put her documents down and removed her glasses.

“Mother, let me do it.” Xi Xiaye was a little embarrassed.

However, Zhuang Shurong already headed inside the kitchen.

Chauffeur Wang arrived soon after dinner. Xi Xiaye gave Mu Xiaocheng a kiss before handing him over to Zhuang Shurong. “I’ll leave him in your care then. I’ll be back after the holidays. Please let Grandfather know…”

Zhuang Shurong nodded. “Don’t worry. Also, tell Ah Chen to relax as well. He doesn’t just play the role of a son to us. He’s also a husband and father right now, so he should understand he doesn’t live for just himself anymore. I know that he’s not been feeling well, but I can rest easy knowing that you’ll be there for him.”

Zhuang Shurong was a little worried about Mu Yuchen after all.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Don’t worry, Mother, I will. By the way, I made a booking at Hospital T. Father and you should take this chance and do a full body check-up. I’ve made appointments for my parents too. All of you need to take care of your health as well. The doctor will contact you for further details.”

Zhuang Shurong smiled. “Thank you, Xiaye.”

“It’s my job. I’ll be going now. Take care.”

“Be careful.”

“Say goodbye to your Mommy…”

…

Xi Xiaye got into the car and left soon after that.

As Zhuang Shurong stood by the entrance, Mu Xiaocheng clung to her neck. Just when she was about to head back inside, a car came by.

Zhuang Shurong looked over and noticed that it was Mu Tangchuan’s car.

Mu Tangchuan got out quickly and walked over. When Mu Xiaocheng recognized him, he opened his arms wide towards Mu Tangchuan.

“Let Grandfather hold you. You’re getting heavier now!”

“Why are you here?” Zhuang Shurong grabbed his briefcase from his secretary.

“Xiaye called me. Have you had dinner? Is there anything left to eat? Please cook something for me. I only had some light lunch this afternoon and I’m really hungry right now,” Mu Tangchuan said as he was playing with Mu Xiaocheng.

“There are restaurants near your office. Why are you so lazy?” Zhuang Shurong was annoyed.

“There’s too much work to do. I heard that the court personnel are organizing a trip. Why aren’t you going?”

“Let the youngsters go. I’m probably retiring in a few years. I feel that maybe it’s time for us to stop ever since Mother passed away. I should put more focus on my family instead of work. After all, it doesn’t feel as meaningful as my family,” Zhuang Shurong said.

Mu Tangchuan halted his steps and held Mu Xiaocheng tightly. He turned around and squinted at his wife. Moments later, he smiled and teased her, “How rare for you to gain such insight! I thought you’d be fighting with others for your whole life. You’re already a grandmother right now, so it’s time for you to change your personality.”

“Mu Tangchuan, am I really such a competitive person to you?” Zhuang Shurong frowned.

“Do you want to hear the truth?”

“Of course!” Zhuang Shurong squinted at him.

“You’re extremely headstrong and competitive. I suppose you wouldn’t know that your father told me I might not be able to stand you since he himself couldn’t stand staying with you, but we’ve been together for so many years, haven’t we?”

Mu Tangchuan looked deep into her eyes. “Ah Chen and Xiaye remind me of our past, but we were much luckier than them.”
