C59

It was just the usual night, and nothing had happened. But it was a different night.

Right now, Mu Dong was standing outside the courtyard looking at the girl and could hear her heart beating.

For example, right now, Jiang Si Ran was driving a car with a man and a dog to see a veterinarian.

For example, right now, Mu Zexi was lying on top of Zhou Nian'an, wondering how she could quickly turn this bodyguard into her own wife.

"It's getting late, please be careful on your way." With that, Xia Mu waited for the man's reply.

Mu Dongfang looked at the peach blossom petals on Xia Mu's shoulder and extended his hand out. He wanted to brush them away, but realized that his actions were too excessive, scaring the innocent girl. He retracted his hand and said, "You go in first. The children are still waiting for you."

"Thank you." Xia Mu thanked him once again before turning around and entering the courtyard.

Mu Dongdong stood outside the courtyard and watched Xia Mu enter the courtyard. He saw that the wooden door was closed, but had no intention of leaving.

Xia Mu closed the wooden door behind her, but didn't return to the house immediately. She stood there for a while, waiting, until she heard the sound of the engine of the car, and then she entered the house as it grew farther and farther away.

Jiang Si Ran drove the car and searched for the address given by the girl beside him.

It was a very small doorway, and the room was still lit up. There should be more people inside.

The moment the car stopped, before Jiang Si Ran could even speak, the person beside him opened the door and got out of the car. He walked straight to the door and shouted, "Xiao Ai!"

The door was pulled open and a girl's voice came out. "Hey Zheng, why are you here?"

"Lucky is hurt, help me take a look!"

Just as he finished his sentence, Jiang Silan saw something round springing out of the house and heading straight to the back of the sports car. He then heard an exasperated voice, "Zheng, what did you do to my Lucky?!"

This roar was too sharp. Jiang Si Ran felt as if the glass in the window trembled a few times!

"That, Xiao Ai, calm down, you're going to strangle Lucky to death!" As if trying to verify the girl's words, the originally well-behaved Labrador also cried out.

"Lucky, don't worry, sister will take a look for you." After saying that, the plump thing carried Lucky into the house.

Zheng Rui followed him with the staff in his hand. He had just taken two steps when he turned back to where Jiang Silan was standing. "I'll have to trouble you to bring Lucky and me. Thank you for not needing us here." After saying that, he walked towards the store.

Jiang Si Ran looked at the sign on the store's front. After confirming that it was a pet hospital, he followed the girl inside.

When Zhou Nian An came out, he saw the man leaning against the wall, waiting for him. The faint light fell on his face, making it seem even more seductive. The man in front of him had a face that could shake the world.

Unfortunately, Zhou Nian'an had never liked men who were too good-looking because it was too troublesome.

"Nihility …" Noticing Zhou Nian'an's gaze, Mu Zexi turned his head. The corners of his lips curled up into an intriguing smile.

"It's getting late, we should go back."

"Alright." Mu Zexi did not refuse. Instead, she obediently listened to Zhou Nian'an's words and walked over to his side.

Zhou Nian An wasn't used to being so close to someone. He subconsciously wanted to walk to the side, but his shoulder suddenly sunk. He was pushed into a slightly unfamiliar embrace.

"Be careful." A low voice rang out in his ears, but Zhou Nian'an's expression didn't change. He raised his hand and grabbed the hand that was resting on his shoulder. With a twist of his wrist, he broke free.

"Young Master Xi, please behave yourself."

Chapter 192 Departure from the Past

Early in the morning, the sun had yet to rise from the clouds. A breeze blew across his face, bringing with it a hint of coolness.

This was a cemetery, and it was still early, so there were few people around.

A tall man stood there. The morning dew had soaked his shirt, his hair was misted, and his dark eyes were focused on the photo on the tombstone. It was a young woman with a pretty face, looking at the man with a gentle smile.

Mu Dongdong pursed his lips and squatted down.

When he left the courtyard last night, he had driven all the way to S City. There were some things that he needed to say to Cheng Su Xin. It was time to say goodbye to the past.

In the last 30 years of his life, Mu Dongfang knew exactly what he was after. Whether it was his studies in his youth or his plans for life as an adult, every step of his was carefully planned.

Cheng Su Xin was beautiful, passionate and generous. During their marriage that year, because of work, they had accepted the certificate and held a simple wedding, and many people did not even know that Mu Dong had already gotten married. When he saw his new wife die in front of his eyes in order to save him, only he knew how painful it was.

After that, he completely sealed his heart, Jiang Lanying also looked forward to her son to be able to come out of the haze, to usher in a new life. However, Mu Dongfang refused to budge. He shut the door to his emotions.

"Pure Heart …" The man's slender fingers gently caressed the photo. With a smile in his eyes, he spoke in a low voice.

"There is something I must tell you."

It had been six years since Cheng Su Xin had left Mu East for six years. In the past six years, no matter how busy he was, he would always come and sit here for a while to chat with Cheng Su Xin, regardless of whether he was busy or before the Spring Festival.

"Pure Heart." The man's fingers reluctantly brushed past the photo. On the tombstone, that young woman gently smiled, as if she was facing the happiest thing in the world.

"Su Xin, I'm leaving, you have to be fine too."

The sun finally broke through the clouds and revealed its face. The warm sunlight dispelled the cold aura coming from Mu Dong's body. Under the cover of the sunlight, the clear lines of his face added a bit of warmth to Mu Dong's face.

The man turned and walked down the stairs. Behind him, the lilies swayed in the breeze, emitting an enchanting fragrance.

The woman in the photo smiled serenely, as if she was looking at a man walking away.

City S, the staff dormitory.

No one answered when Mu Dongdong knocked on the door.

"Da Da Da", the sound of footsteps came from downstairs. The person came up the stairs one step at a time. When he saw the person waiting for him at the door, his face showed a great surprise.

"East!" Cheng Zhengqi held the bird cage in his hands as he shouted in surprise. Behind him was Li Ru, who was carrying a vegetable basket.

"Dad, Mom." Mu Dongfang smiled at the two old men and greeted them.

Li Ru quickly opened the door and asked with concern, "Why are you here so early? Did you eat yet?"

The door opened, clean and tidy as always. This was the teaching dormitory of S City University. Cheng Suxin's parents were both teachers, and the two of them had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Cheng Suxin, died in a car accident shortly after marrying Mu Dongdong. The youngest daughter was currently studying abroad and rarely returned home.

"Old Cheng, sit with me to the east for a while. I'm going to get some food for the children." Li Ru put down the vegetable basket in her hand and was about to enter the kitchen.

"Mom, it's been a long time since I've eaten the noodles you've cooked." Mu Dongdong replied with a smile.

"Ok, ok. Mom will cook the noodles for you right now." Turning around, Li Ru wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and began to prepare.

Chapter 193 - Father-in-law

The oil hood in the kitchen rumbled. In the pot, Li Ru was slicing thin shredded meat while she rolled the noodles.

On the balcony, Mu Dongdong looked at the thrush in the bird cage and said with a smile, "Dad, this thrush is raised really well."

Cheng Zhengqi pushed his eyes away from the bridge of his nose and put some millet into his food box. "I'm fine at home," he answered with a smile. "This little thing is the only one with me."

"Have you gone to see Susu?" Cheng Zhengqi asked with his back facing Mu Dongdong.

"Yes."

"If you're not busy, then eat lunch at home before you leave. Your mom has been talking for a long time."

"Alright."

Li Ru felt tears welling up in her eyes again as she looked at Mu Xiangdong, who was lowering his head and gobbling down the noodles.

He was such a good man, but his family's sincerity was such that he didn't have any good fortune.

Initially, when she heard that her daughter Cheng Su Xin had found a soldier, Li Ru was worried that if she married her daughter, she would suffer. After that, having a child in the future would be even more burdensome. Cheng Zhengqi was rather in favor of it. He felt that this was a matter for the young. As long as the children wanted to, they would agree as parents.

When Cheng Suxin first brought Mu Dongdong back home, Cheng Zhengqi had not yet retired. He had been busy with teaching and evaluating. He had been busy with many things, but it was very fulfilling.

When Cheng Zhengqi first saw Mu Dongdong, he was very satisfied. This young man had a unique charisma; upright, handsome and meticulous. He thought that his daughter would definitely be happy to marry such a person.

However, the things in this world were far from being what they were supposed to be!

Mu Dong finished the huge bowl of noodles and even drank the soup, causing Li Ru's eyes to burn with passion.

"Here's another bowl for you." Li Ru asked.

"Thank you, Mom." Mu Dong did not show the slightest politeness as he handed a bowl over. He knew that he could only do so little for them. He could only come and see them as much as he could for a limited amount of time, so as to reduce the amount of longing they had for her.

"East, what brings you here today?" After the death of his daughter Cheng Su Xin, Mu Dong would visit the two elders every year, but this was the first time he came without greeting them.

"Mom, please sit. There is something I need to tell the two elders." Mu Dongdong looked at his mother-in-law and said in a low voice.

"Dad, mom, I met a girl. I think she's pretty good, and I want to continue developing with her. I have to get your permission to deal with this first."

As soon as she said that, Li Ru was stunned.

Actually, she had long thought of such a day. After all, her daughter was no longer Mu Dong. It was impossible for him to be alone for the rest of his life. However, when she thought about it, it was one thing.

Li Ru's heart surged with an indescribable bitterness.

Compared to his wife's excitement, Cheng Zhengqi was not moved at all. However, there was a hint of loneliness in his voice. These years, they had already treated Mu Dongdong as their son. They were like real parents who were concerned for their son's safety.

Cheng Zhengqi thought for a while and slowly said, "To the east, your mother and I are very happy to hear you say that. Su Xin is no longer here. On one hand, we can't bear to part with her. On the other hand, we hope that you can find your happiness as soon as possible. "

"Go east. Which family's girl is it? Can you show it to us?" Compared to her husband, Li Ru was more concerned over which family's girl would make Mu Dongfang say such words.

"When the opportunity comes, I will definitely bring her to meet you two elders." Mu Dongdong replied with a smile.

"Okay, then it's settled. You guys can continue to chat, I'll go make lunch. "
