Chapter 1124. My Honor (3)
Mu Yinan spoke earnestly as rueful sentiments gathered in his aged eyes.
Mu Lingshi thought for a moment, then could not help but voice out what she had been keeping in mind for a long time, “Grandfather, you and Grandmother must’ve been very loving. Even though the two of you usually bickered, I could feel your love for Grandmother. Sometimes, I do envy the two of you. All these years, I’m most thankful for you and Grandmother, and Father and Mother for being a role model to us. It was all of you who gave us a happy and warm family.”
She finished the tea in her cup in a few gulps before she continued, “Sometimes, I think about how we seem like we don’t quite know how to be contented. We’re always wanting more without learning how to appreciate what we have, and that’s why we sometimes don’t get to keep all that we have instead.”
Suddenly, she laughed at the irony of things, then poured more tea for Mu Yinan. She was about to pour herself another cup when at this moment, a fair and slender hand stopped her from behind.
“Be careful with your health. You can’t just drink tea as you wish right now, even if it’s floral tea. Drink more nutritious things.”
When the calm voice came through, the two of them turned to see Xi Xiaye’s slender figure greet their sight.
“Sis-in-law, why are you back?” Mu Lingshi looked at Xi Xiaye in surprise.
Xi Xiaye beamed happily and sat down on the empty space beside her as she looked at Mu Yinan and responded, “I came back to visit. I was worried that you two would be too bored at home. Grandfather looks much better today.”
Mu Yinan chortled. “I’m alright. I know what you mean. I know what happened last night. You’re all too considerate. Because of your aunt’s matter, everyone’s been worried. I hope that there’ll be an explanation too, but I don’t want this to continue its vicious cycle either.
