Unofficial Reunion

Time flew. The end of the year was approaching.

The chain of stores in the city opened one after another, and Xia Mu became the spokesperson for the Chinese cuisine. In addition to standardizing the traditional breakfast dishes, Xia Mu started to research new dishes, and one of the major projects was to work with the Multi Colored Life team.

Today, after Xia Mu and Sheng Huan had finished discussing the cooperation framework agreement, the two chatted about family matters.

"It's almost the new year, what are your plans?" Huanhuan asked.

"We've been too busy recently, so we haven't had the time to discuss this matter. Either I take the child with me, or he comes back. However, there might not be a holiday. " In the past, when it was New Year's Eve, Mu Dongfang would voluntarily give up his vacation to let his comrades who were further away from home take their leave. As for him, he chose to stand guard.

"We're separated, yet we have to take care of two children. We still have to do things. Thank you for your hard work." Sheng laughed as he looked at Xia Mu.

"Not bad. "Although it's a bit hard, it's very fulfilling."

Coming out of the Multi Colored Orb, Xia Mu received a call from Wang Lan Lan.

When they arrived at the hospital, Wang Lan Lan was waiting for the results of the examination.

After the kidnapping incident, both Shen Yan and Wang Lan opened their hearts to each other and decided to stay together. Regarding Wang Lan Lan's past, Shen Yan's parents were a little worried. The Shen family could be considered as the family of scholars, and they were very picky about the background of their daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, both sides managed to persevere. In October, Shen Yan and Wang Lan Lan held a wedding ceremony, and when Xia Mu looked at the white-veiled girl happily walking towards her, holding his lover's hand, Xia Mu cried in excitement.

For the past twenty-odd years, Wang Lan Lan had worked so hard to live. Just like Xia Mu, facing the injustice of fate and the harsh criticism of life, they gritted their teeth, persevering, persisting, and persevering.

Life is not always in pain. When the haze passed, happiness descended.

"Sigh, I really didn't expect that Big Brother Shen would also be married." In the viewing gallery, Mu Xuexi sighed with emotion.

Hearing this, Xia Mu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes as a faint smile appeared on his lips. He asked, "You and Doctor Cheng, you must work harder."

When he told Xia Mu about himself, Mu Xiangxi pursed her lips and asked, "Tell me, why are you so stubborn as to love someone who doesn't like you?"

Xia Mu was silent for a moment, before replying slowly, "Perhaps, this is the meaning of love."

The meaning of love?

Mu Xuexi recited the words silently to herself. Then, the depression in her eyes dissipated as a bright light appeared once more, "I saw Cheng Zhi. I'm going to look for him. "Second sister in law, I will do my best!"

Xia Mu smiled as he watched Mu Nian Xi leave.

"Cheng Zhi!" Mu Xiangxi looked at the tall man, smiled, and walked towards him.

"Mist!" Seeing Wang Lan Lan Lan, Xia Mu shouted.

"Here." Wang Lan Lan waved her hand.

"Are you sure?" Xia Mu's eyes were filled with a smile.

The corner of Wang Lan's lips curled up. She rubbed her belly and softly said, "If it's a few days late, I can't be sure. I thought I'd check first. If it's true, I'll tell Shen Yan then." Shen Yan likes children, and Wang Lan Lan wants to become pregnant as soon as possible.

"Actually, you've only just gotten married, and even if you don't get married this time, there will be sooner or later." "Don't be too nervous." Xia Mu knew of Wang Lan Lan's situation and Shen Yan's parents finally relaxed. However, they still had some complaints towards Wang Lan Lan. Wang Lan Lan Lan felt uncomfortable being caught between her husband and her parents-in-law. However, this little girl is a smart person. She knows how to balance the relationship between the two of them. She won't make it hard for Shen Yan. She will do her best to maintain the harmony within her family.

"My mother-in-law said that Shen Yan is not young anymore and wants us to have a child soon. Actually, I think so myself. Xia Mu, I love Shen Yan, so even if his mother doesn't like me, I will still be filial to her. "

"Alright, I understand. Don't think too much about it now. If you do, take good care of your body and have a healthy baby. " Xia Mu consoled. Compared to Wang Lan Lan, Xia Mu's married life had no worries at all. His mother-in-law Jiang Lanying had taken good care of her children, so Xia Mu didn't have any worries. She could focus on her career and studies, and Xia Mu was especially grateful to Jiang Lanying for that.

Half an hour later, the results were out.

"Xia Mu, there's really a baby!" Wang Lan Lan could not contain her joy.

"Don't get too excited. Sit down first."

The two of them asked about the things they needed to pay attention to before they could finally relax.

Afterwards, when Wang Lan Lan told Xia Mu Shen Yan that she knew he was about to be promoted to his father, Xia Mu smiled. She knew Shen Yan's character, being gentle to others, liking small children, and having a child of his own was the best news for Shen Yan.

It was good that everyone was happy.

After the school break, Fatty Su would come to the Mu household every day. The three of them got along well together.

Originally, there were only two children's chairs and tables in the children's room, but later on, he purposely added one more set for Little Fatty Su.

That day, when Xia Mu returned home, the three children were in the children's room. Each of them had a pen and was sitting in their respective seats, drawing something.

Xia Mu stood by the door and watched for a while, but didn't go in to disturb them. Instead, he turned and left.

"Darling, it's the new year soon so will your dad come back?" Little Fatty Su asked.

"Yes!" "I secretly called him. Dad said that he would go home and told me to keep it a secret from Mom!"

"Then," Little Fatty Su lifted his head from the paper and looked at Nannan, smiling as he asked: "This new year, I will be spending it at your house, okay?"

"Aren't they supposed to be at home during the new year? You are not a member of our family, why did you come to our house? " Nannan asked.

The baby stopped drawing and glanced at Little Fatty Su without saying a word.

Little Fatty Su dropped his painting brush and walked in front of Nannan, fawning on her: "My father is away on business and my mother is on duty so every New Year there is only me at home. I am so pitiful. Nannan, you are the best, just let me come to your house! "Nannan, I beg of you!"

Little Fatty Su's ability to hoodwink others was something the baby had experienced for himself, but he couldn't do anything about it. It was the same for his older sister.

Sure enough, the baby heard Nannan's voice, "Little Fatty Su, why are you so pitiful!" "Alright, I'll go tell Grandma that you'll be staying in our house for the new year!"

"Aiya, Nannan is the best to me!"

The baby rolled his eyes and thought, I'm so smart, but why is big sister so stupid?

Were they siblings?

Is that so?

The whole family knew that Mu Dong was going home to celebrate the new year, except for Xia Mu, who remained in the dark.

"Hubby, can you come back?" On the phone, this was what Xia Mu had said. Mu Dongfang hadn't told him about the arrangements yet, so Xia Mu didn't know how to prepare for it.

"Mo'er, I'm too busy at the end of the year. I can't go back."

Hearing Mu Dong's words, Xia Mu's heart was filled with disappointment. It was their first Chinese New Year, and she still wanted to be reunited with her family.

"Then, should I bring the child to see you?" Xia Mu suggested.

"I'm not in the station during New Year's. That won't do."

"Oh." Xia Mu replied and became silent.

She had thought about gathering up more and more, but seeing no one every day was more or less emotionally difficult to accept.

"Mo'er, I'm sorry." Mu Dongfang endured the urge to tell Xia Mu the truth, full of regret.

Xia Mu wiped the corner of his eyes, feigning calmness as he said, "It's nothing, it's just a new year, just a few days off. Running around is also troublesome."

On the morning of the 30th of the Moon, Xia Mu got up to prepare breakfast.

When everyone in the family had woken up, breakfast was ready. The family sat together and had a sumptuous breakfast.

After packing up properly, he had to start preparing the New Year's Eve meal. According to the tradition of the past years, Mu Ru's eldest son was at the Mu family during the Regiment's Year. After breakfast, Jiang Lanying and the others began their preparations.

Little Fatty Su also stayed back at the Mu Family. The three children huddled together, chattering non-stop.

Xia Mu and Huanhuan, one was good at Chinese cuisine while the other was good at western cuisine. In the kitchen, each of them had their own food. Jiang Lanying, on the other hand, did not have much to worry about.

On the television, there was a lively program. The atmosphere was filled with a cheerful and peaceful atmosphere.

Inside the living room, the children were running around. Old Man Mu was beaming with happiness as he looked at his grandson and granddaughter.

All of them were rushing home, to be with their families on this day of the year. Mu Dongfang was no exception.

The door was opened by Xia Mu, but when he saw the man in the dust and wind appear before his eyes, Xia Mu's eyes soured as he cried.

"You lied to me!" Xia Mu looked eastward, crying tears of joy.

"Wife, I'm back!" Mu Dongfang reached out and hugged his beloved wife.

"You actually lied to me!" Xia Mu added.

"Un, I've lied to you. You can do whatever you want with me tonight!"

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

The two children rushed out and shouted in crisp voices.

This was the only Spring Festival that Mu Dongfang spent at home, warm and reunited.

The matter of guarding the year was left to a bunch of juniors. Old Man Mu drank some wine at night and went to bed after nine o'clock. Mu Ru Guang and Jiang Lanying returned to their own bedrooms. The Mu family left after dinner, leaving the three siblings alone in the living room.

He sat alone on the sofa, fiddling with his cell phone.

That string of numbers was firmly engraved in his heart.

No one answered.

Not giving up, he dialed again. Still no answer.

Mu Zexi could not sit still any longer. She grabbed her keys and left the room. He had clearly said it clearly, but Mu Zexi still couldn't let Zhou Nian'an go.

It was New Year's Eve, so he didn't know if that girl could eat a mouthful of hot food. She might still be standing guard at her post by herself.

Zhou Nian An, ah, Zhou Nian An, you are always like this, it makes my heart ache!

With a smile on her face, she stepped on the throttle and drove the black car away.

Mu Xiangxi came out with a plate of fruits, just in time to see Mu Zexi leave the room.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"There's something."

At this moment, it was less than an hour from the New Year.

It was going to be a new year soon.

"Really, he's in his thirties this year, and his big brother is still running outside. What can happen to him?" Placing the plate of fruit on the table, Mu Xuexi muttered under her breath.

Mu Dongfang embraced Xia Mu's shoulder and lowered his head to talk with Xia Mu. Hearing his sister's words, he smiled and asked, "Cheng Zhi is on duty today?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you go take a look?" Mu Dongfang said.

"Of course! But, Grandfather has arranged for us to keep watch over the year! " Mu Xiangxi blinked and turned to his second brother, smiling. "How about you help me, second brother?"

Finally, only Mu Dong and Xia Mu's family were left in the living room.

On the sofa, Nannan and the baby were already asleep.

Mu Dongfang held Nannan while Xia Mu held the baby.

"He's gained weight." Mu Dongdong said softly.

"How can I not have meat?"

After settling the kids down, Mu Dongfang and Xia Mu left the room.

When the bell for the new year rang, snow was falling outside the window.

Mu Dongdong hugged Xia Mu. At this moment, his heart was filled with this woman called Xia Mu.

This was his wife, the person he loved the most.

"Mo'er, I said I would give you happiness, but I still let you suffer."

In the silence of the night, Mu Dong's voice was exceptionally clear.

Xia Mu turned around and stood on his tiptoes to wrap his arms around Mu Dongfang's neck. His clear gaze fell upon the pitch black eyes that were filled with love.

"No, I don't."

After saying that, he retracted his arm and gently kissed the lips that he had longed for for for a long time.

So it turned out that the feeling of having someone to rely on was actually so lovable.

It was snowing.

City S, an empty building with only one room on the fourth floor, lights on.

Everyone had returned home to celebrate the new year, so Zhou Nian'an took the initiative to stay behind.

More than an hour ago, the phone on the table rang several times, but Zhou Nian'an didn't pick it up.

At this point in time, people were especially vulnerable. Zhou Nian An was worried that she wouldn't be able to control herself. Such a man had a fatal attraction.

"Ta, ta, ta ~ ~ ~" The sound of footsteps could be heard clearly in the silent night.

The door was not locked, so the person reached out a hand and pushed it open.

"Who is it!" Zhou Nian An turned around in alarm. What he saw was a familiar face.

"Good morning." The man was wearing a gray cashmere coat, and his voice was filled with longing.

This must be a dream!

Hospital.

Cheng Zhi walked out of the operation room exhausted, not wanting to say a single word.

"I knew you didn't eat. Look, I have love for you, and it's still warm!"

The girl's clear voice sounded from the other side.

Cheng Zhi raised his head and saw a smiling face.

"You're here."

"Yeah, other than me, who else would remember if you ate or not?! Alright, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and change your clothes, wash your hands, and eat! It's almost 12 o'clock! " the girl urged, and pulled Cheng Zhi up.

On her hand was the girl's gentle palm. Cheng Zhi pursed his lips, a touch of gentleness flashing across his eyes.

"Since I made it myself, you have to eat it all! "Also …"

As the girl spoke, Cheng Zhi listened quietly, the corners of her lips curving upwards.

It was so warm with someone to accompany him.

When the bell for the new year rang out, we welcomed a brand-new year.

I hope, as time passes, that I will always be by your side.
