Xi Xiaye was carefully observing Mu Lingshi’s expression when she spoke.
Mu Lingshi sniffled as she nodded. “I didn’t really understand it before, but I get it now. Mother spoke to for the whole night yesterday. I know all of you are doing this for my sake. I’m doing my best to get over this as well.”
“Mmm, it’s great that you have this mindset. I believe you can do it. You’ve survived harder battles, this is nothing.” With such a warm tone of voice, Mu Lingshi took in Xi Xiaye’s words easily.
“I rember feeling pretty devastated when my parents got divorced when I was still a little child. I was under my father’s custody after they got divorced, but he was so busy that he hardly had any ti for . Every day, I’m afraid of nightfall because it makes feel that I’ve lost everything and that I’m all alone in this vast world.”
Xi Xiaye seed a little lost when she was talking about her past. “In order to escape these suffocating feelings and the burden in my heart, I decided to go to boarding school...I thought that could help relax.”
“Sister-in-law, actually...I know what happened to you. I asked Brother about it, but he was never willing to talk about your past. I know he really loves you just like...just like how Ah Mo loves ,” Mu Lingshi spoke up when Xi Xiaye did not continue.
Xi Xiaye smiled. “That’s true. It’s very obvious that Ah Mo loves you a lot. Ah Shi, you need to understand that happiness doesn’t co easily, so you have to cherish it now that you have it. Never let go of it because of these small ripples. Whether you’ll live a happy, carefree life or not all depends on you. It’s okay to cry during sad tis. You’ve always been a strong and brave girl. It’s not like you to be this emotional.”
Mu Lingshi turned towards Xi Xiaye as her eyes still could not help but tear up. She looked away and sniffed.
Xi Xiaye patted her shoulder as Mu Lingshi leaned onto her and sobbed, “Sister-in-law...”
Xi Xiaye hugged her tightly. “It’s alright. You still have everyone here with you. You still have Ah Mo.”
...
The two of them had no idea that a man was standing quietly nearby behind them, enjoying the evening breeze.
Mu Yuchen had been there since they saw each other. He listened to everything they said and was even touched to see them hugging each other under the sunset.
Was this not what he had always hoped for?
He could not help but wear a smile on his face after watching them for a while. He took a deep breath as he looked away. Lifting his head, he enjoyed the view of the sunset quietly.
After so ti, Xi Xiaye’s shirt was wet from Mu Lingshi’s tears. When she raised her head from Xi Xiaye’s chest, Mu Lingshi’s face was full of tear stains. However, Xi Xiaye could see the relief on her expression.
Xi Xiaye smiled and handed her so tissue. “Here, use this.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law.” Mu Lingshi grabbed the tissue. “I’m fine now. I feel much better after crying it out.”
“That’s great. Everything will be better once you get over it.”
Mu Lingshi nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll survive this. Please tell my brother that I’ll return to work on Monday. Ask him to arrange my job for as soon as possible.”
“You can take several more days off, you know, and your honeymoon trip...”
“That can wait until November since it’s a busy period right now...Okay, I should head back now. Rember to tell Brother that Mother is still waiting for at ho. Tell him he doesn’t need to worry about because I’m feeling much better now.”
...
Mu Lingshi wiped her tear stains away and left.
Xi Xiaye remained stationary while she watched Mu Lingshi’s back as she left. She did not ask her to stay. After so ti, she let out a sigh of relief and tried to tidy her hair that had been ssed up by the evening breeze. Then, she averted her gaze to the river.
“It’s ti to go back. It’s getting late.”
The man’s voice suddenly ca from behind her, and she soon felt the man’s coat over her shoulders as he stopped right beside her.
Xi Xiaye glanced at him and noticed a peaceful expression on his face. “Why are you here?”
“I called your assistant, Xiao i. She told you were eting Lingshi here. I was nearby, so I ca over to take a look,” he replied.
“So...you heard our conversation just now?” she asked.
He chuckled and nodded. “I never expected you to be so impactful on Lingshi.”
“Of course, I think I can be an extrely good friend to her.” She put on a warm smile as she helped him fix his wrinkled collar. Suddenly, he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him.
Dumbfounded, her head crashed right into his solid chest. She yelled, “What’s wrong with you?”
He kept his grip tight as he whispered beside her ear, “Mrs. Mu, you’re forever mine, and you’ll never leave , won’t you?”
Xi Xiaye did not know how to react to this unexpected situation.
