Chapter 380. Master Mu Cleaning Up (3)
Hearing his sensitive and deep words, she instantly turned teary-eyed, yet she forced the tears back and hugged him tightly. Her hands clutched his shirt from behind as she leaned into him as if she was holding on to her last straw.
Only when she felt the temperature from his chest did she feel the chill inside fade away bit by bit. At such a moment, this felt quite heartwarming. No matter what happened, she knew that she could rely on him.
Then again, maybe they could rely on each other too.
“Su Nan blames herself and I don’t know how to console her.”
After some thought, she said softly, “But if it were me, I’d definitely make the same choice as Mother. She has always treated Su Nan like her own daughter.”
“She did just come over earlier. She waited for you quite a while but didn’t get to see you. When I saw that she wasn’t in a stable state of emotion, plus the fact that she’s pregnant, I got someone to send her back first,” Mu Yuchen said, then patted her head as he put an arm around her shoulders. He sat down on the long bench beside her. “Don’t worry. Su Nan’s is a very candid and optimistic person. She’ll feel better. Now, we just have to focus on caring for Mother well.”
“Mmm, Father, he…” Xi Xiaye turned to look at him and ask with mixed emotions.
“He’s suffering more than anyone. He came over in the evening because he was worried,” answered Mu Yuchen so softly that you could hear a lament in his tone. “They clearly care for each other. Why don’t they just talk things out? Once things are cleared up and explained, things will be much simpler.”
“If they could think like you, they wouldn’t be like how they are right now, torturing one another.”
