MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 20 Episode 55

However, because he was still young, his walk was still a little uneven. Half of the water in the cup had already been spilled.

“Son?”

When he saw the cute little one in front of him, Mu Yuchen quickly got up and took the cup from him. He placed it on the bedside table and carried him up.

Mu Xiaocheng reached out to touch his father’s face and blinked his starry eyes at him. “Daddy… Are you afraid of getting an injection? It hurts…”

Mu Yuchen smiled and pinched Mu Xiaocheng’s cute little face. “Daddy doesn’t need needles. He’ll be fine soon. Where’s Mommy?”

Mu Xiaocheng looked at the door and thought for a while before he looked at Mu Yuchen and shook his head.

Mu Yuchen held his little fists with both hands. “Come, let Daddy see if you’ve grown. Did Grandmother teach you how to count?”

“Yes…”

Mu Xiaocheng could now easily understand the meaning of many words. He was about to turn two years old. He inherited Mu Yuchen’s wisdom and intelligence, and even his personality was a little similar.

Zhuang Shurong often smiled and said that Mu Xiaocheng was exactly the same as Mu Yuchen when he was young!

“Did Grandmother teach you that? Tell Daddy.”

Mu Yuchen hugged him and his handsome face was filled with the pride of being a father—

Mu Zirui and Mu Zicheng both made him feel at ease. Mu Zirui’s grades were very good in school. He was always first in the school in all the national exams and Wei’er’s grades were also improving. The siblings were very good at playing together, they were also very sensible.

After Mu Zirui finishes his homework after school, he would wholeheartedly tutor Qi Wei’er. Occasionally, when he was free, the father and son would play chess together and talk about matters of the heart.

This was the kind of life he had always been hoping for, so he treasured it especially and enjoyed it especially.

As expected, Mu Xiaocheng began to count with his fingers…

He got up and changed. When he carried Mu Xiaocheng downstairs, he saw Zhuang Shurong tidying up in the living room.

After Zhuang Shurong retired, she spent most of her time taking care of the children. Otherwise, she would spend time with Mu Tangchuan, practicing calligraphy at home, and learning how to arrange flowers. Of course, she was also a visiting professor at a university. Occasionally, she would give the students some law elective classes, there were only a few classes per week.

This kind of life felt very fulfilling and meaningful for Zhuang Shurong. When she was free, she would occasionally go back to Glory World or Fuhua Real Estate to visit Mu Yuchen or Xi Xiaye.

“Mother, just let the servants do these things. Why do you need to do it?”

Mu Yuchen’s voice rang out.

Zhuang Shurong then turned to look over. Mu Xiaocheng quickly called out, “Grandmother…”

Zhuang Shurong was elated by his call. She put down the magazine in her hands and reached out to hug Mu Xiaocheng. However, Mu Xiaocheng struggled to get down and began to play with his own.

The floor was covered with a thick carpet. The house was very warm. Mu Yuchen was not worried that the little guy would get cold playing on the floor, so he let him play by himself.

“Xiaye said that you’re not feeling well, so she asked me to come over when I had time. I saw that you were still asleep earlier, so I didn’t wake you up. How are you feeling now? You don’t have a fever, right?”

Zhuang Shurong was concerned. As she spoke, she poured a glass of water for Mu Yuchen and handed it over.

Mu Yuchen took it and drank a few mouthfuls. “I’m much better. It’s not a big deal. I just caught a little wind yesterday. With this cold rain and cold current, not many people can withstand it.”

“You have to take care of your body. Go out and exercise when you have time. I often force your father to go out for a walk with me. Your father’s physical examination results made me worried too. The doctor said that his physique is a little weak, and he was fatigued for a long period of time. At your father’s height today, I’m afraid not many people know how hard he has worked. Sigh…”

Zhuang Shurong’s eyes were filled with worry as she spoke. Of course, there was also her feelings for Mu Tangchuan.

Mu Yuchen knew that his parents’ feelings were the simplest kind of feelings. At work, they could be teachers to each other or friends. In life, they were a harmonious couple.

After Mu Yinan passed away, if Zhuang Shurong had not retired at home, the entire Mu residence would have been very empty. Sometimes, Mu Yuchen did not want to go back, but now…

“Mother, thank you for your understanding and sacrifice.”

Mu Yuchen thought about it for a moment before he suddenly said this.

Zhuang Shurong paused for a moment before she smiled, “What did you say? What do you mean by sacrifice? Actually, I know that both you and Xiaye feel a little regretful that I’ve retired like this. But I’ve thought about it very clearly. After decades of ups and downs in the political arena, it’s time for me to have a calm life. It should have been time for me to retire a long time ago. More than half of my life has passed. I still think that the remaining one-third of my time belongs to my family, my children, and my husband.”

“I don’t know when Mother had such thoughts. Didn’t Father say that you’re not suitable to be a good wife and mother?”

Mu Yuchen was touched when he heard Zhuang Shurong’s words.

“Why not? This has nothing to do with being a good wife and mother. I’m just doing what I think I should do as a wife, as well as a mother and grandmother.”

Zhuang Shurong smiled very calmly and very relaxed, “I’ve been feeling quite happy and content recently. Without the worries of work, I feel much more relaxed. Your father even told me that he has never enjoyed the feeling of taking care of me in his life. Was I especially strong headed in the past?”

When he heard this, Mu Yuchen lowered his eyes and smiled. “No. In my eyes, Mother has always been a very dignified, noble, and elegant mother.”

Mu Yuchen’s relationship with his parents was actually a little cold. Over the past few years, things had gotten much better. Everyone knew that all of this was actually thanks to XI Xiaye.

“Your father and I were indeed quite harsh to you in the past. Fortunately, you didn’t blame us.”

“I understand, especially now that I’m a father.”

Mu Yuchen tightened his grip on the cup as he looked at Mu Xiaocheng who was playing beside him. “I hope that the children’s path of growth won’t be as bumpy as mine.”

“Of course, Xiaocheng and the others won’t have it the same. Your father said that when he retires in a few years, he’ll personally take care of Xiaocheng and Xiao Rui. As for Wei’er, let her learn some practical things from me.”

“Alright, you keep an eye on Xiaocheng first. It’s getting late, so I’m going to go buy some vegetables. It’ll be perfect when Xiaye comes back later. Your father will come over for dinner tonight. I couldn’t drive with Xiaocheng, so he’s bring me back with him.”

As Zhuang Shurong said this, she suddenly stood up…
