In the courtyard, Zhao Fugui was putting things on the tricycle. Although they didn't suffer any losses from the heavy rain last night, they were about to be demolished and the couple decided to return to their hometown.

When Xia Mu entered the courtyard, Zhang Xiulan was dragging a woven bag with her. Seeing Xia Mu enter, she greeted him.

"Xia Mu, we are preparing to return to our hometown." As of now, Zhang Xiulan did not have much hope that her nephew Zhang Dali and Xia Mu could become a family. She only had a few words to say, but her heart was not bad. She had always taken care of Xia Mu.

Hearing Zhang Xiulan's words, Xia Mu's heart also felt the sadness of parting. This small courtyard contained all of Xia Mu's memories and feelings for his family, and now that "home" was about to disappear, the sadness and reluctance in his heart was naturally written all over his face.

"Aunt, are you really leaving?"

Zhang Xiulan nodded, "We can't stay here anymore. Your Uncle Zhao and I are thinking of going back home to find a shop to start a small business." But you, how are you going to live with two children? " Zhang Xiulan had already arranged her life for the future, but when she thought of Xia Mu, she started to worry again.

Mu Dongfang helped Zhao Fugui clean up. Hearing Zhang Xiulan's words, he replied, "Aunt, Xia Mu and I are going to get married. Thank you for taking care of Xia Mu these days." Mu Dongfang's words were honest, and his face was filled with righteousness. The dissatisfaction that Zhang Xiulan had towards him vanished like smoke in thin air.

"With your words, I am relieved. It's not that I'm talking, it's not easy for Xia Mu to be alone either. You're a man, you can't casually leave home in the future. You have to treat them well. " Zhang Xiulan began nagging again. She still remembered what Mu Dong had said about her children's father. Thinking about the two cute and intelligent children, Zhang Xiulan felt reluctant to part with them, "Nannan and baby are the most obedient. Aiya, I just want to go back home. What if I miss my children?"

In the yard, Zhang Xiulan was blabbering on and on. Occasionally, Xia Mu would say a few words to her, but most of the time it was Zhang Xiulan who spoke.

After sending off Zhang Xiulan and Zhao Fugui, the courtyard returned to its original tranquil state. The main house was empty, and the door to the west house was still closed.

"Don't be sad, they will start a new life." Mu Xiangdong walked over and comforted Xia Mu.

Xia Mu sighed emotionally and said: "I didn't expect to leave so soon. I really can't bear to."

The two were standing in the courtyard talking when they heard the sound of someone opening the door from the inside.

"Mist!" Xia Mu called out in surprise as he saw the figure walking out from the west room.

Wang Lan left with her suitcase, and Xia Mu walked her to the intersection.

"Alright, stop sending me off. Remember to call me." Wang Lan Lan said with a smile.

"Lan Lan, are you really leaving?" Xia Mu looked at Wang Lan Lan Lan Lan, as he asked with a complicated expression on his face.

Wang Lan Lan stepped forward and hugged Xia Mu, "Xia Mu, we must all live a good life." This was Wang Lan Lan's hope for herself, and also her blessing for Xia Mu.

"Yes, Lan Lan. Definitely." Xia Mu said as he hugged Wang Lan Lan Lan Lan.

Both Xia Mu and Wang Lan Lan were working hard at their own lives. Although there were many hardships in their lives, they didn't cower back in the slightest.

The courtyard, which had been bustling with noise and excitement, suddenly became desolate and desolate.

Xia Mu watched as Wang Lan Lan left. Only when that figure disappeared from her line of sight did she turn around.

She saw the handsome man standing there, tall and straight, stretching his arms towards her with a smile. A gentle smile appeared on Xia Mu's face as he took a firm step towards the man.

Chapter 297 Handkerchief and Chain

Because the roof had been lifted off a corner and the rain had poured in, not many things in the house were spared.

This was originally an old house. At this time, the floor was covered in a puddle of water that was half a foot deep. It was impossible to enter.

"Looks like there's nothing I can take." Mu Dongfang stepped into the house and looked around; there wasn't much he could do to save his life.

Xia Mu opened the cabinet and found a rectangular wooden box, but it wasn't wet. He heaved a sigh of relief, the contents of the box were too important. Fortunately, it was hidden at the bottom of the cabinet and was able to prevent heavy rain.

After finding a bag and packing up the clothes in the closet, Mu Dongfang carried the bag and left the yard with Xia Mu.

Mu Dongfang put the bag in the trunk and was about to call for Xia Mu to get in the car, but Xia Mu stood in front of the car and refused to move.

"You can't bear to part with it?" Xia Mu's face was filled with reluctance, and his gaze towards the courtyard was rather complicated.

Xia Mu's clear and beautiful eyes flashed with worry as he said, "I feel like I don't have a home anymore. I worked so hard to give Nannan and the baby a small home but it was just a storm and there was nothing else. "

"Xia Mu, you still have me. The place with me will be your home." Mu Dongfang held onto Xia Mu as he consoled him.

A breeze blew. Under the Pagoda tree, a tall and handsome man hugged a petite girl and whispered softly.

Inside the apartment, Xia Mu was packing her things. She didn't have much clothing, so she put everything into the cupboard. After closing the door, she saw the wooden box on the table.

Xia Mu walked over and opened the wooden box. There were quite a few things inside, including a child's certificate. Xia Mu took out the items one by one. Inside the wooden box, there was also a handkerchief.

Xia Mu gently took out the handkerchief and unfurled it. Inside, there was a chain with a pendant attached to it. As his slender white fingers caressed the pendant, Xia Mu's eyes surged with a pained expression.

He had almost forgotten about the existence of this thing! Xia Mu had always been carefully keeping these two items that could prove the identity of a child. It wasn't that she had any thoughts for the children's father, it was just that she felt that these were left behind by the children's father, and that she needed to properly preserve them. In case they did, she would be able to tell the children that you had a father.

"Xia Mu!" Mu Dongfang's voice came from outside.

"Sigh!" Xia Mu hurriedly wrapped the chain in a handkerchief, threw it into the wooden box, and tightly closed it.

"Go wash your hands and eat." When Xia Mu walked out of the room, he heard a man busying himself in the kitchen, speaking with his back towards him.

Xia Mu retracted the strange look in his eyes and obediently washed his hands.

Returning to the dining room, Mu Dongfang just happened to bring out the dishes. The steaming smell of the food instantly soothed Xia Mu's lonely heart.

His cooking skills were truly very good, even better than his own!

Mu Dong brought out the dishes one by one. When they came over from the courtyard, they went to the supermarket and bought a lot of daily necessities.

"Do you need my help?" Xia Mu asked as he looked at the man who was serving dishes in the kitchen.

"Help me eat all of these." Mu Xiangdong held the plate and pointed at the dishes on the table.

Chapter 298 - Can You Do It

Although Xia Mu wasn't really hungry, she was still able to support herself after having eaten a full breakfast. It was just that Mu Dong's dishes were refreshing and delicious.

After the meal, Xia Mu took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Mu Dongfang did not obstruct him, as this was originally the place he gave her. As her mistress, Xia Mu had to get familiar with it as soon as possible.

After washing the dishes, Mu Dongfang was sitting in the living room. When she saw Xia Mu, she waved at her.

Xia Mu walked over and was about to sit on the sofa opposite Mu Dong when he was pulled over by the man's big hand and fell into a warm embrace.

"Have you eaten your fill?" Mu Dongfang held her and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Such an intimate action was a little unnatural for Xia Mu. He always felt that everything was progressing too quickly.

"Do you like it here?" The warmth of the afternoon flowed through the windows into the living room. In Mu Dongfang's deep black eyes, a golden glow could be seen.

Xia Mu lightly nodded his head.

Mu Dongfang held her with both arms and lifted her up. Xia Mu sat sideways on his lap, as if he enjoyed hugging her like this.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Dong nodded and asked in a low voice.

Xia Mu raised his head and met the man's gaze. He opened his mouth and said, "I'm wondering if I'm dreaming."

"This is not a dream, this is reality. Xia Mu, do you want to hear a story? "

In Mu Dong's narration, Xia Mu learned about the story that had happened to this man, an enviable marriage in the eyes of an outsider, only to be separated forever by heaven and earth because of a car accident. She listened to it with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you crying again?" Mu Dong raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xia Mu's face.

"Mu Dongfang." Xia Mu grabbed his hand, and the skin of their hands overlapped. "Why are you telling me about your past?"

"Silly girl, you are the one who is going to marry me. I must explain to you clearly that we will become husband and wife. There shouldn't be any secrets between husband and wife. Xia Mu, do you think so? "

"I," Xia Mu stared into those dark eyes, a hint of doubt and unease appearing in his eyes as he replied timidly, "I don't know." There was still a secret hidden in her heart, but now that she knew about Mu Dong's past, she couldn't even open her mouth to speak to him.

What should she say?

That her two children were the product of her drunken stupor?

Or was it because of her selfishness, even stubbornly keeping the children by her side after knowing the identity of the child's father?

She was completely unable to say it.

Xia Mu felt that he was not worthy of this man at all!

Yes, the courage that he had accumulated with great difficulty was almost depleted.

"Xia Mu, I'm telling you this, but I don't need you to use your past to exchange for it. I won't ask about your past. I just hope that in the future marriage, we can be honest with each other. No matter what happens, you have to remember that you still have me. Xia Mu, can you do it? "

Seeing the determination in the man's eyes, Xia Mu lightly nodded his head.

Mu Dongfang was aware of people's feelings and prepared for a rainy day. What he did today was only to make sure that in the days to come, when there were any problems between them, Xia Mu would be the first to think that she wasn't alone, but that she had a lover and a family to rely on. "" " It had to be said that Mu Dongfang's plan was very well thought out. However, what will happen in the future is not something we can foresee in advance.
