We won't compromise in our Mu family either

  Qin Xiao slapped away Mu Chenyuan's hand with a "pa" sound: "Speak properly."

  "Ruining the scenery." Mu Chenhui said this with a hint of pampering tone. Qin Xiao was startled, how could Mu Chenhui usually use such a tone, what's wrong with him today?

  Her eyes wandered elsewhere, and after taking a glance around the hall, she understood. Then, with a coquettish expression, she said in a spoiled tone: "Chen Hui~~~ take me out for a walk, okay?" She pulled Mu Chenhui's hand again, looking expectant, and even batted her eyelashes: "Okay?!"

  Mu Chenhui gently patted her head: "Whatever you say, I'll agree." He helped her up: "Be careful."

  Qin Xiao cooperated very well, holding onto Mu Chenyi's arm and walking out of the hall: "Hey, it's just a pregnancy, don't be so nervous."

  Mu Chenhui didn't speak, smiled slightly, and accompanied Qin Xiao out of the hall.

  It was getting late, and the two of them strolled around the courtyard of the mansion.

  "Those two people just now..." Qin Xiao asked quietly since there was no one else in the yard.

  Mu Chenhui didn't show much expression and casually explained: "One is the old man's eyes, one is my mom's eyes."

  "Wow, your house is really... And isn't it unnecessary?"

  "Get used to it. When you're officially married, we'll move out."

  "Whatever."

  Qin Xiao looked up at the sky, which was pitch black without a single star. Then she shrugged and spread out her hands.

  "What's wrong?" Mu Chenxuan looked at Qin Xiao's series of actions with some confusion.

  "I think it would be great if we could stargaze in your backyard." Qin Xiao pointed to a direction in the yard: "Especially over there."

  Following Qin Xiao's pointing direction, Mu Chenying looked over - a swing.

  It was that swing. It had been lying in this yard for a long time, quietly, quietly, with almost no one touching it.

  Two people walked past, although almost everyone had forgotten why it was here in the first place, but now it seems that time has not yet forgotten it. Someone comes to clean every day, very clean.

  "May I sit here?" Qin Xiao asked Mu Chenhui, who was slightly distracted.

  "Ah, okay. Slow down."

  Qin Xiao slowly sat up. The light from the lamps in the house shone through the windows and cast a warm glow on the quiet darkness of the courtyard.

  "Will the stars come out tonight?" Qin Xiao sat on the swing, gazing up at the sky again, hoping to see a few stars. In fact, her intention was not in the wine, she was just trying hard to find a topic of conversation.

  She wasn't like this before, it seems now she can no longer adapt to long periods of silence.

  However, the atmosphere seemed to have stagnated again. After a long time, Mu Chenhui finally replied with one sentence: "Yes."

  He stood behind the swing, looking at Qin Xiao's back, and his thoughts drifted away for a long time.

  Many years ago on that night, someone was also sitting on the swing, asking himself a question "Where are the stars?" But that day, the sky was full of stars. He still had some doubts.

  Later, the person left, but fortunately, he knew that the person would leave, so he didn't make too much of an effort to retain him.

  "Go back inside, it's cool outside." Mu Chenhui stretched out a hand.

  Qin Xiao gave her hand to Mu Chenyuan and held his hand: "OK."

  At the moment when their hands clasped together, Mu Chenyuan's hand was warm, while Qin Xiao's hand was icy cold.

  Back in the house, after washing up, the two of them lay down on the bed.

  Seeing that it was still early, Qin Xiao couldn't sleep either, so she asked Mu Chenhui many things about the mansion.

  And also why there is a swing frame.

  "The swing was set up for my grandmother. My grandfather started from scratch, and my grandmother accompanied him. The two of them went through all sorts of hardships, and when they finally made it out, my grandmother fell ill. I heard from my dad that grandma loved swinging on the swing from her youth to her final days. In her last days, she would sit on the swing in our house every day, with grandpa accompanying her."

  "Sorry, I..." Qin Xiao didn't know about this matter before, he just wondered why the old master of the Mu family didn't have a woman accompanying him, and there were no rumors outside either. Fortunately, he didn't ask out loud.

  "It's nothing, I've never seen her before. She left early, I've never seen her."

  "Then won't your grandfather consider remarrying?"

  "Look down on. Our Mu family has never compromised either."

  Qin Xiao understood, this is the feeling of "once a sea, it's hard to be water, except for Wu Mountain, it's not cloud". The old man has been dominating the business world for so many years, but he's actually so infatuated. It turns out that everyone has an unknown side.

  "Huh, were you just praising me? No choice, I'm just more excellent."

  "Except you."

  What does this mean?

  "Mu Chenhui, if you dislike me, just say it straight out." Qin Xiao crawled out of the bed and put on his slippers, preparing to leave.

  "Don't come back once you've left." Mu Chenhui lazily tossed out a sentence as he lay on the bed.

  The sentence indeed worked, Qin Xiao took off his shoes and crawled back into bed: "Then I won't leave."

  Watching Qin Xiao's actions, Mu Chenhui suddenly found that this woman was actually very childish and couldn't help but laugh: "Alright alright, I was just joking with you."

  "Cut!" Qin Xiao curled his lips. However, it seemed like a compromise was indeed the case. He could do this much, and that was already very generous of him.

  "Go to bed early."

  "Good night."
