When Xi Xiaye walked into the bedroom, she could hear the sound of the father and son playing with each other. Peering around, she soon saw the half-closed bathroom door. When she walked over to look, the father and son pair were having lots of fun in the bathtub.

Mu Xiaocheng sat on his father’s tummy while Mu Yuchen steadied him with one hand. His other was scrubbing his little delicate body clean.

“Don’t let him play for too long. He might catch a cold!” Xi Xiaye knocked on the door. Before walking over to pick her son up, Mu Xiaocheng started to wriggle unhappily.

“Son, Mother’s going to put on clothes for you. You might catch a cold!” Mu Yuchen said.

“Dry him!”

Mu Yuchen quickly took the towel from the side to wrap his little body while he took another towel for himself too.

“Xiao Rui and the rest will probably only be back in a while. I’ve already told Li Si to contact the school. When we return and school reopens, we can go take a look at the school and adapt in advance,” Mu Yuchen said as he picked up to put on the clothes that had been prepared.

Xi Xiaye swiftly put some clothes on her son as she responded, “Okay, I’ll leave it to you then. They’ll probably be back in a few more days. They know about Grandmother too. Grandpa’s been saying that he’s been having lower back pain again. He needs to rest for a few more days before returning. He’s probably worn out from the vacation.”

Mu Yuchen thought about it, then said in a lowered voice, “Find some time for Grandpa to get a full body checkup.”

As he thought about Wang Hui’s abrupt passing, Mu Yuchen realized that when it came to Shen Yue and the rest, it was best to always pay attention to their health. He did not know that Wang Hui’s health had been faltering. As their grandson, he felt like he had not done this role well.

Otherwise, some things may have turned out differently. Unfortunately, it had happened, and there was no more chance of saving things anymore.

When he said that, Xi Xiaye subconsciously paused. When she saw the faint sorrow that gathered on his handsome face, she inhaled slightly and said softly, “Don’t worry. On the first of May a while back, I brought Grandpa for a full body checkup. The doctor says that he’s quite healthy, but he just needs to maintain a joyful state of mind. Grandpa’s a very strong person and great at self-regulation, so he’ll take good care of himself. Don’t be too worried. I believe that Grandfather will be able to walk out of this sadness soon.”

“Mmm, I’m not worried about that. Grandmother used to always say that she was already over 70 years old and was considered long-lived. Thankfully, she could see us, and Lingshi and Ah Mo get married and have children. In the future, if I ever get to witness this, I think that we should be quite happy—” he spoke, yet before he could finish, she suddenly reached out to stop his words.

There was an afflicted light in her twinkling eyes. “I’m hoping that we’ll live to a ripe old age. We’ll see lots of children and grandchildren. Also, even when we grow old, I want to leave before you so that you won’t leave me all alone in this world.”

Upon hearing that, he suddenly chuckled. He picked up the tie and handed it to her as he smiled. “Live to a ripe old age? Doesn’t that mean we’ll have to become old monsters and become rotten old men and women?”

“Please, even when I’m old, I’ll still be a composed and graceful madam, but I can’t guarantee if you’ll become a rotten old man!” Xi Xiaye laughed gently, then helped him fix his tie.

“Alright, let’s go down for breakfast. Are you going to the office? I wanted to return the old residence to visit Ah Shi. Can you take care of our son?” Xi Xiaye looked to him and asked.

He raised his brows and turned to look at the toddler lying on the bed with wide eyes watching them and muttering unintelligible words only he understood.

Mu Yuchen picked his son up and walked outside as he answered, “Mmm, I’ll have to make a trip to the office. I’ll bring him with me. You go home for the visit.”

Xi Xiaye swiftly tidied up before she followed him out.

The family had a simple breakfast before they left the house.

Xi Xiaye drove while the bodyguards followed them in another vehicle behind. She sent the father and son to Glory World first.

In the car, Mu Yuchen sat quietly at the front passenger seat while Mu Xiaocheng sat on his lap and quietly stared at the road ahead with googly eyes on the side. The radio was droning on with reports about the incident at Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s wedding last night, as well as Gu Qiwu and Mu Lingshi’s matter, and Doris. Naturally, the media came up with all sorts of speculations.

Xi Xiaye listened for a while before switching it off and putting on some music instead.

“I can’t believe that last night’s incident caused quite a ruckus. Gu Qiwu was quite heartless too. However, for Doris, he really did let Aunt and Lingshi down completely. I think that from now on, Lingshi will definitely…” Xi Xiaye sighed and turned to look at him.

Mu Yuchen looked quite calm while he gently held Mu Xiaocheng’s soft little hands and teased them as if he had not heard the radio earlier.

“Aren’t you worried?”

“If worrying was useful, I wouldn’t mind worrying. Okay, don’t think too much about it. We’ll just see how things go. Father, Mother, and Grandfather knew about this. In fact, it’s a secret that can’t be kept forever. Today’s outcome isn’t too bad. The ones who should worry are them. I’ll get Li Si to visit Doris in another two days,” Mu Yuchen answered with a calm expression. He seemed to be quite indifferent to this, taking on the attitude of a spectator.

Xi Xiaye obviously understood what he meant, so she nodded. “Mmm, we should go over to visit and see if the child made it. I’m quite worried that she’ll blame this all on Ah Shi. Ah Shi shouldn’t have gone over.”

“She understands what she should be taking on. No matter what, we can’t change the fact that her biological father is Gu Qiwu. It might not be a bad thing that she found the courage to stand up like this.”

When he said this, Mu Yuchen suddenly paused and sighed before he continued, “After everything that has happened recently, I realized that I’ve got limited capabilities. Many times, it’s not about me wanting to protect you all. The key still lies with me. As for Aunt, I’m afraid this is as far as I can go.”

“Oh, you, sometimes I feel like you’ve lived quite a tiring life, but you’ve done well. When I see you, no matter what happens, I won’t be flustered…”
