Chapter 375. Be Vicious, Don't Think Twice! (2)
As he heard Mu Yuchen say this, Xi Mushan’s gloomy expression suddenly turned odd. The light in his eyes had turned from being dazed to shadowy.
“Many times, when some things happen, we won’t be able to return to the past. As much as you try to make up for it, you won’t be able to resolve those cracks. I think that I’m roughly like that right now,” sighed Xi Mushan frustratedly. There was plain grief in his eyes as a cold light flickered in them. He looked exceptionally lonely.
“The two of them are pure-hearted and indifferent in nature. I remember that I once swore my eternal love to her, but who would have thought…? Usually, many things change original intentions, change hearts, yet things are very rarely changed by original intentions and hope. I think this should be the work of fate.” His low voice was filled with an indescribable bitterness that sounded bleak to Mu Yuchen.
It was hard to imagine that the Mayor, who had always been all-powerful in the political world, could now be troubled by love too.
All things on Earth could not escape from ‘love’, and neither could she and him. They were all victims of love.
“Speaking of fate, humans always find themselves weak and small. Father, I think you’re not someone like that. You’ve gone through the ups and downs in the world of bureaucracy for decades, so you understand these principles better than I do. If your heart isn’t hard, you won’t stand tall. We men shouldn’t let fate be the excuse for our weakness,” said Mu Yuchen after some thought.
“I know that the Xi family’s relationships are a complete mess itself. If you want to handle everything well, I’m sure it won’t be easy. No matter what, I just hope that you’ll know some things can’t wait. Mother’s eyes…”
“I know. I’ll take care of her for the rest of her life whether or not she can see. This is something I’ve been waiting to do. No one else wishes to stand by her side more than I do, Ah Chen.”
Mu Yuchen nodded. “Father, I hope that you and Mother can last forever too. Xiaye hasn’t been willing to give up, yet she hasn’t dared to say anything. You two couldn’t give her the courage, but you’ve got to give her some hope. It’s exhausting for her to hold on all by herself. Even I… When I see her this way, I can’t help but feel my heart ache. While she’s your daughter, you and Mother love each other deeply. Shouldn’t you do your best to cherish her and love her more dearly?”
