Chapter 1305 Accompany

at hospital t, the sun was close to noon was very gentle and pleasing.

mu lingshi’s baby bump was showing now, but she was still reacting quite badly. especially these past few days with all the worries, it had not been easy.

at noon, mu yinan personally sent the nutritious tonic soup that zhuang shurong cooked over. when he saw that mu lingshi was alright, he went home.

mu yuchen and xi xiaye stayed with her at the hospital. because xi xiaye did not feel assured leaving mu lingshi alone, she kept very close by her side while mu yuchen handled ah mo’s matter. there were also quite a few other things to settle. of course, he did not go to the office either because not many people knew he was back.

“come, let’s sit over there for a bit. the chrysanthemum flowers seem to be blooming quite nicely.” xi xiaye held mu lingshi and walked on the hospital’s pebble path, then she saw the bench by the flowerbed.

“okay,” mu lingshi responded and walked over too.

“mmm, the air’s quite nice outside. i feel a little stifled staying all day in the ward.”

mu lingshi sat down slowly with xi xiaye’s help. she looked up gratefully at her and said, “sis-in-law, actually, you and brother don’t have to be like this. i know you’re usually overwhelmed with work. you don’t have to spend time with me like this. work’s important, and i’ll be okay alone.”

mu lingshi felt bad, especially upon seeing xi xiaye’s clearly exhausted demeanor. she could not help but feel bad for her, especially because she knew her struggles.

upon hearing that, xi xiaye only smiled and put the shawl over mu lingshi’s shoulders, she looked up at the autumn sun that was closer to the west, and spoke in a calm, breezy tone, “right now, there’s nothing more important than you. work’s important, but if we don’t take good care of you, what would be the meaning of work or money?”

at this point, xi xiaye paused and calmly turned to look at the pale but grateful mu lingshi as she continued, “do you know that ever since i was young, i’ve tasted all the loneliness and helplessness? so, i can understand how you’re feeling right now.”

when xi xiaye brought that up, mu lingshi was stunned. she seemed to understand something as she suddenly smiled and said, “don’t worry, sis-in-law, i know. i trust brother, father, and mother. actually, if we’re talking, i’m much luckier than you. at least, ah mo and i have parents who love and care for us, and we have brother, bro su chen, and bro zimo who protect us whereas, sis-in-law, you don’t seem to have anything…”

“it’s not like i have nothing. sometimes, you don’t need so much. one word of concern and encouragement can be the reason to stop you from giving up and even to work hard.” xi xiaye suddenly remembered something, so she lamented, “sometimes, it’s not too bad having a bumpy life because many people only become mature after experiencing these hardships, especially when it comes to relationships, whether it’s kinship, friendship, or romantic ones…”

“sis-in-law, i actually really admire you. if i were you, i would’ve turned bad by now. how could i have persisted being good?” mu lingshi could not help sigh. “this time, if ah mo comes home safely, i’ll definitely treat him better. no one’s having it easy right now. sis-in-law, actually, especially since i realized that grandmother has left us for far away, i suddenly find that before time and life, we’re all too insignificant. one or two years ago, i was still thinking of living wild and free, but now…”

“that proves that we’re truly maturing and growing up. your brother taught me this before. he thinks that the mark of a person’s true maturity is when his circle is no longer all sorts of nightclubs or crazy parties. instead, it would be after work every day, to miss those at home, to take off his coat and cook for his family, to drive the family out for a movie and play a game of chess with grandfather, chat about politics with father and mother, and gather with his buddies from time to time for a barbeque at home…”

xi xiaye recalled the words that her man could not help but go on and on about to her, yet right now she could not hide the smile on her beautiful face.

“no wonder i was saying that ever since my brother returned the year before, he’s changed a lot. even though he never did go out to nightclubs before that, he didn’t seem to miss home. but, sis-in-law, ever since you married him, he’s become much more considerate. i think he must have been influenced by you.”

mu lingshi smiled and held xi xiaye’s hand. “sis-in-law, do you know that i’ve grown up with my brother for close to 30 years now? you’re the only person who can hold my brother down. love is quite a terrifying thing.”

“i don’t quite control him either. it’s he who controls me and holds me down.” xi xiaye did not agree with her now.

“sis-in-law, don’t explain anymore. you’re blushing.” mu lingshi’s joyous voice came through as xi xiaye only felt her face getting hot.

“you know that she’s got thin skin. why are you teasing her like that? that doesn’t seem like you!”

mu lingshi had just finished when a low and magnetic voice suddenly came from the side. it was accompanied by a smile and a long shadow on the ground.

xi xiaye and mu lingshi exchanged a glance, then the two of them smiled and turned to look to the side. indeed, they saw a tall man standing underneath the sun.

it was none other than mu yuchen.

he held his coat casually while his other hand held his phone. he looked at them leisurely. however, those unfathomable eyes brushed past mu lingshi and quickly stopped on xi xiaye beside her.

when mu lingshi saw that, she quickly lowered her head to laugh as she cleared her throat.

she seemed to have noticed for a long time now that regardless of when, as many people as there might be, her brother’s gaze would always easily find her sister-in-law. he would quickly capture her figure, and of course, ah mo was always like that too.

perhaps, it had to do with the way they grew up. all of the mu men were like that whether it was their grandfather, mu yinan, or their father, mu tangchuan…

they were all like that…

he looked at xi xiaye for quite a while. when she looked away from him, mu yuchen walked up to them and asked mu lingshi, “feeling better now?”

“much better. alright, brother, since you’re here, bring sis-in-law home to rest well. i’m fine anyway. i trust you and father about ah mo’s matter. i’ll go back first. i don’t want to be a lightbulb…” mu lingshi said, then stood up. without waiting for them to respond, she waved to the bodyguard on the side.
