MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 22 Episode 11

Mu Xiaocheng was very smart and he had a nimble mind. Although he became quieter and less noisy as he grew up, Mu Tangchuan, Zhuang Shurong, and Shen Wenna would often teach him some things when Xi Mushan took care of him, the little guy did learn quite well.

On the other hand, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were busy with work, so they sometimes did not have time to care about these educational issues. When they thought about Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er’s homework, most of the time, it was Zhuang Shurong and Shen Wenna who supervised them, the husband and wife could only accompany the children when they had some free time.

However, the children were very sensible. For example, before the new year, they were busy with work. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were also busy leaving early and returning late. Many times, when they came back from work, it was already very late. The children had also gone to bed. They woke up early the next day and did not make any noise.

“We can take a look at what the school said. If it’s really good, it’s not impossible.”

Mu Yuchen would not deliberately arrange the children’s future and let them develop on their own. However, he was planning to let the children receive a military education, especially Mu Zirui and Mu Zicheng. Wei’er was a girl, he could relax a little.

“Alright, it’s cold outside, let’s go back in. Didn’t you say that you’ve been quite tired these past few days? Let the children play by themselves.”

Mu Yuchen saw that the temperature outside was very low, so he naturally could not bear to let her stand in the cold wind like this. Although her condition had improved quite a lot recently, her health was still affected. It would not be a quick recovery even if she said that she did not mind. However, Xi Xiaye might not be able to let it go. She always knew that she would not give up on recuperating in this period of time.

Mu Xiaocheng was already three years old. Even now, Xi Xiaye was still very weak. She had consulted a lot of doctors and they all recommended dietary supplements. However, after three years, there was still no effect. On the other hand, her hands and feet were not as cold as before, which was a good thing.

“It’s not too cold. I want to see them…”

Xi Xiaye did not move her feet. Her calm gaze fell on the children playing in front of her, and the curve of her lips widened slightly.

When Mu Yuchen saw this, he could only let her go and hug her shoulders tightly.

It was getting closer and closer to midnight. The new year was about to arrive, and the fireworks in the night sky were even more dazzling and charming.

Inside the Grand Lake Villa area.

Dongfang Liuyun had just put the children to bed. Qi Qiming had just come over for New Year’s Eve dinner and then left. Just like Mu Yuchen, Dongfang Gan, Song Siting, and Dongfang Xue had also come over.

They left quite late, so the two children went to bed quite late as well.

Now, they finally went to bed.

When she came out of the bedroom, she saw Qi Lei standing by the French window and watching the fireworks outside

He was dressed in a black robe and leaned against the wall beside him. The swaying curtains would occasionally conceal his tall figure.

“What are you thinking about?”

When the light voice entered his ears, Qi Lei could feel a pair of soft arms wrapping around his waist. A wave of softness also pressed against his back.

Qi Lei looked down and saw that her white hands were already crossed around his waist. The ring on her finger seemed unusually eye-catching under the dim light.

He was stunned for a moment. He slowly raised his hand and gently held her hands. His voice was very low and slow. “It’s nothing. I think that tonight’s fireworks are especially beautiful. It’s far more beautiful than every single time I’ve seen it in the past.”

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her.

Dongfang Liuyun leaned into his chest rather enjoyably. She felt the warmth of his manly body. Her gently held hands were slightly clenched, and her gaze fell on the fireworks that were constantly blooming in the night sky outside.

“Mmm, I also think that such a scene should be remembered. Actually, every year is the same scene. The only difference is the people who accompany you for the scenery. We have missed so many years, and we have regretted it for so many years. Fortunately, it’s not too late now. We still have many years, and there are many opportunities like this.”

Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly.

“You’re right. There are still many years.”

Qi Lei chuckled beside her ear and hugged her tightly. “Thank you. Because of you, I’ve rekindled hope in my life and future. I even gave birth to a son and daughter for me. Ye’er and Lan ‘er, I…”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. They’re my children too, and you’re the one who’s going to spend the rest of my life with me. We’re the same.”

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and chuckled.

Hearing her words, he felt warmed all over. The arm around her waist grew tighter. “Only you have this kind of ability.”

“You too. Actually, our relationship is just right. As long as we can have this moment, everything is worth it. I actually feel that the burden on our shoulders has become heavier. Previously, we felt that many things were just a pile of loose sand. But now, I feel that many things have gathered together. We need to raise our children and take care of our parents. I feel that this is the life that we should be living.”

“In the past, I actually envied Mu Yuchen’s life, but I could understand his happiness as well. It wasn’t easy either. Later on, I figured it out. All these years, even though I’ve never thought about getting happiness from anyone, I’ve never taken the initiative to give. I’ve only been indifferent and silent. This isn’t necessarily wise. People have to know how to give love before they have the right to hope to be loved. The two of them aren’t equal in the first place.”

Qi Lei took a deep breath and his tone was very calm.

“Looks like you’ve been affected quite a bit by Mu Yuchen.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled.

“Mmm, there are many things that I still need to look up to him. I’m always enlightened by him on many things, including Xiaye. Do you have the feeling that if there’s someone around you who’s as positive as Mu Yuchen, you’ll be influenced by some of his thoughts if you interact with him for a long time?”

“Of course, for example, I’m often influenced by you. In fact, I’ve admired your personality before, but I’ve been trapped in my own nightmare.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled in relief and paused before continuing, “Now, I’ve understood. Everything in the past is just an episode in the past. You, the child, and Mother and Father are my all.”

Qi Lei’s heart suddenly felt warm

All…

How could she not be his all?

As he thought about it, he suddenly could not hide how moved he felt. Then, he suddenly bent down and carried her. He turned around and strode towards the bedroom.

“What…”

“I’ll always love you like this in my lifetime…”

“Me too, Qi Lei…”

…
