1268. Chapter 1268: Keeping an Appointment (I)

Mu Zirui was quite tired after all. After saying good night, he fell asleep soon.

Xi Xiaye originally wanted to fall asleep directly, but suddenly she remembered that after arriving, she only sent a message to Mu Yuchen. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but take her cell phone and dial a number directly.

However, there was a ring on the other end and then it broke.

Xi Xiaye frowned, feeling a little uneasy. She sat up immediately, stared at the phone in her hand, hesitated, and then dialed again. This time it simply said, 'The number you dialed has been turned off! ’

what happened?

Xi Xiaye became worried immediately.

She remembered the worries she had had when she was in Los Angeles, and she couldn't help but have some random thoughts.

After a moment of silence, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing the man's name jumping on it, she quickly slid down the answer button--

"Hello? Mr. Mu?"

The person on the other end coughed a few times and then responded, "It was not convenient to answer the phone just now. It must be quite late at home. Why are you still not sleeping?"

"It's quite late. If you don't call me, I have to call you. What are you doing? It's not convenient to answer the phone? Which goddess is around?"

Her teasing voice came through, and a touch of warmth filled the corners of her mouth.

He heard her tone and said with some joy at the moment, "Besides you, Mrs. Mu, who else is qualified to accompany your Mr. Mu?"

"Don't come here - I'm teasing you!"

Xi Xiaye chuckled softly, "Both families had dinner together tonight. My parents seemed to be very busy, so they went back after dinner. Everything is fine at home, don't worry. And, as expected, it was just as expected. Facts have it, Xi Xinyi called me just now and I asked her to meet at noon tomorrow. "

"Well, I'm not here, so you have to be more careful and don't suffer any disadvantages if you go out with more bodyguards. Do you understand?"

He still warned him tirelessly.

"I know, and so do you!"

"How are the sons?"

Mu Yuchen couldn't help but ask again.

Listening, Xi Xiaye immediately turned to look at her two sleeping sons on both sides, and said with a chuckle, "It's okay! Xiao Rui seems to have grown taller and is doing well in his homework. Xiao Cheng can hold on to the sofa and walk a few steps. Well, after a few days, the little guy can still recognize people. As soon as I appear in front of him, he crawls over quickly. "

"My sons are all smart. When I go back, the little guy will probably remember me."

Mu Yuchen said, with a hint of fatherly pride in his tone.

"Waiting for you to come back. Okay, I'm going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow to send Xiao Rui to school. You have to take care of yourself."

"Well, you too, take care of yourself, good night, ma'am."

"Good night, Mr. Mu..."

Xi Xiaye said this before hanging up the phone slowly.

…

Early the next morning, Xi Xiaye was woken up by the alarm clock on the table.

He quickly pulled Mu Zirui out of bed. After cleaning up, Mu Xiaocheng also woke up.

After a simple breakfast, Xi Xiaye sent Mu Xiaocheng to Sister Wang and Sister Fang directly to school, and then went to Fuhua.

After leaving the company for several days, there were thick stacks of documents piled up on the desktop in Fuhua's office.

Naturally, Xi Xiaye didn't have time to rest. When she returned to the office, she started to be busy. Once she got busy, she almost forgot about the time.

It wasn't until Xiaomei walked in with a document from the marketing department and reminded her to have lunch that she realized and remembered her appointment with Xi Xinyi.

Xi Xinyi rushed over to the Zhuyun Qingfeng side just before twelve o'clock. She ordered some snacks and a pot of chrysanthemum tea, then took a magazine and flipped through it, listening to the music, and silently waiting for Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye arrived at the appointment almost half an hour later.

"I thought you were going to play tricks on me and not come."

Xi Xinyi's eyes were extremely complicated, and she looked quietly at Xi Xiaye opposite who was pouring tea.

"Do you think I have those idle thoughts?"

Xi Xiaye raised her head indifferently, narrowed her eyes, and responded.

Xi Xinyi smiled. That smile, no matter how she looked at it, felt a little awkward, "Then I should thank you for coming."

"I never thought that we two sisters would have the time to sit down, drink tea, and talk about things calmly."

Xi Xiaye made a sarcastic comment at the corner of her mouth. It was unclear whether it was self-mockery or something else. Seeing her pick up the tea, she took a sip casually. She turned her head and looked out the window to the side. Through the empty window, You can see the falling bamboo leaves outside.

Xi Xinyi looked at Xi Xiaye.

It seemed that Xi Xinyi had never seriously looked at the half-sister in front of her.

Now, looking at it this way, it seems that she has a bit of the outline of her father Xi Mushan, but more, she looks like Shen Wenna, and even her aura is somewhat similar.

To be honest, Xi Xinyi was actually a little jealous. She recalled that when she first met Shen Wenna, she was attracted by her temperament and beauty. She even envied Xi Xiaye for having such a mother, while she had such a mother. .

Before, she must have been unbalanced in her heart, but now, as a mother, she has a different understanding.

Origin cannot be forced, and God is not obligated to give everyone such a noble and lucky origin, just like her children.

She is also worried that when her son grows up, he will be ashamed of having a mother like her.

Before, she always lived for herself and never thought about other people's feelings. Later, she pushed those who cared about her further and further away. Thinking about the gap between the past and the present, Xi Xinyi couldn't help but feel a bitterness in her heart that was hard to swallow but couldn't spit out.

The two sisters didn't know how long they sat in silence. Although Xi Xinyi felt bitter, she was unwilling to bow her head and admit her mistakes. After thinking for a long time, she said softly, "Yes, I didn't expect it, and it was under such circumstances."

There was a bit of coldness in her tone, and there was also self-mockery that was hidden.

She didn't want to expose her self-mockery in front of Xi Xiaye, because she didn't want to expose her weakness in front of Xi Xiaye, even if she had lost miserably.

Xi Xiaye listened, his expression was as indifferent as water, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and didn't say anything.

‘I thought you were lost temporarily, I thought you would come back when you were tired, but how come even the complicated story behind it is just what I heard from my friends, walking in the cold wind of the winter night…’

The song in the air was clear and pleasant to the ears. Xi Xinyi listened to it and actually felt it was appropriate. Just listening to it, she felt a dull pain in her heart one after another, causing her to take a deep breath uncontrollably.
