Chapter 39

Country Y, Cong Sen, Mu Clan Castle.

Cong Sen’s forest area is very wide, most of the residential houses are surrounded by towering trees, the Mu Clan utilized this natural barrier to create their own hegemonic kingdom here.

As there are more trees and less sunlight, the sky of Cong Sen always darkens especially fast, because the sunlight is blocked by the trees, and the houses are shrouded in darkness most of the time.

At night, Mu’s house was brightly lit, and the servants were well-trained and busy in their respective positions. After the interlude in the hall, Mu Yusheng took the two children towards his own residence, he did not live in the main castle with Mu Lan.

Halfway there, Uncle Wang and Auntie Gao appeared out of nowhere and tacitly picked up the children one by one. Neither Shen Haoxuan nor Shen Linfeng resisted, but obediently cooperated, because in their subconscious, the familiar Uncle Wang and Auntie Gao would not harm them.

The group walked through a long corridor, then a garden, and finally arrived in front of a tall house, which was where Mu Yusheng used to live.

Before entering the door, Shen Haoxuan and Shen Linfeng realized that there were a lot of trilliums planted around the house, and since this kind of plant was also planted quite a lot in the Shen family, they could easily tell them apart. However, they found a strange place, that is, most of these trilliums had withered, and only a few of them were blooming with scattered dull-colored flowers.

Mu Yunsheng’s footsteps paused slightly as he passed by those withered trilliums, and then continued on. When Aunt Gao and Uncle Wang saw this, they looked at each other and sighed. With the people gone, the flowers had no one to take care of them, so they naturally withered.

When they were still a few steps away from the gate, the door suddenly opened, and then a man in a black tuxedo walked out. He wore a pair of glasses and respectfully bent down to Mu Yusheng: ”Young master, you’re finally back, madam especially missed you. While you were away, madam has been residing here. Knowing that you came back today, she was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, not allowing anyone to intervene, saying that she wanted to cook your favorite dishes with her own hands.”

“Hm.” Mu Yunsheng answered in a low voice, then walked into the house that he had been away from for so many years, with the others following closely behind him.

Mu Yunsheng’s mother was very amiable, seeing the two children was also particularly kind, and would not treat them differently just because they were not Mu Yunsheng’s biological sons, instead, she was like a grandmother, hugging this and kissing that, and the meal passed in a beautiful and harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, the family sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV, the two children snuggled up to Mu Yunsheng’s mother, Lu Yi Yi, without making any noise or crying, and without the slightest intention of being afraid. Seeing this, Lv Yi Yi was very happy and put her arms around them and said: ”Sheng’er, these two children are cute and sensible, their mother must also be beautiful and virtuous.

mom must be pretty and virtuous too.”

“Uh-huh.” Mu Yunsheng picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, looking at the two children with an exceptionally soft gaze.

Lu Yi Yi hadn’t seen her son with a soft expression for a long time, the harsh training and cold-blooded existence from childhood had created his character today, making him like a walking corpse, without joy, anger, sadness or desire. She didn’t want her son to become like this, but the cruel reality left her no choice, the descendants of the Mu Clan, destined not to have an ordinary life. But at this moment, she realized that her son seemed to have changed a lot, becoming a bit more humane, and this change came from the two children sitting beside her.

“Does Sheng’er like these two children a lot?” Lu Yi Yi looked at Mu Yunsheng with some anticipation, she very much hoped that her son could act like a normal human being, having likes and dislikes and the seven emotions and six desires, instead of being like a puppet on strings, where everything he did was for the sake of the family’s legacy, and no matter whether he wanted to or not, as long as it was arranged for him to do it, he would go and fulfill it, even if his life was in danger.

Lu Yi Yi’s gaze was too earnest, looking at Mu Yunsheng with a slight lurch, then he put down his teacup and said expressionlessly, “Auntie Gao, take them upstairs to take a bath, they live their lives according to the Shen family’s routine.”

“Yes.” Aunt Gao nodded her head in agreement, then walked over to the sofa and said gently to the two children sitting above, “Young master, let’s go take a bath.”

Shen Haoxuan and Shen Linfeng looked at each other, then both jumped off the sofa and walked to Aunt Gao’s side, then blinked their big eyes and said very nicely, “Dad, grandma, we’re going to take a bath.” After saying this, they went upstairs with Auntie Gao.

After seeing the two children upstairs, Lu Yi Yi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “These two children are really polite.” Saying this, she looked at Mu Yusheng again and said with a smile (yue), “Sheng’er ah, are you serious about marrying their mother?”

Mu Yunsheng was silent as he squinted his eyes out of the darkened window, and after half a second, he replied indifferently, “It’s just for revenge.”

“…… “Lu Yi Yi was also silent, she didn’t know how to answer, after a long time she could only sigh and comfort, “Sheng’er, I’m also saddened by Xiao Jin’s death, it’s just that I’m worried that you’ll be in danger, after all, your enemies are so powerful. ”

At the mention of Sikong Jin, Mu Yunsheng immediately fell silent, his thin knife-like lips pursed up before he stopped speaking.

No one spoke, the hall immediately fell silent, only an extremely subtle crunching sound could be heard from the window, Mu Yunsheng’s complexion sank violently, and then returned to being flat and wave-free in an instant.

On the empty small balcony, Mu Yunsheng stood there quietly, the bright moonlight sprinkled on his body.

“Any news?” He opened his mouth, his voice as cool as the wind.

Only after the words fell, a man immediately appeared on the big tree by the balcony, he sharply flipped from the tree to the balcony, and then respectfully bowed his head to Mu Yunsheng: “Ms. Shen is already on her way, and it is expected that she can arrive in Congshen tomorrow, and for the time being, no action has been detected from the Z government, but there is a man named Lai Yuanhang who is traveling with her. According to the information given by the eyes, he should be a special forces soldier, but the unit he belongs to is unknown.”

“Hmm.” Mu Yunsheng faintly answered, her slender fingers playing with a black cell phone, and with a gentle stroke of her fingertips, a graphic of Shen Xinrui standing sideways by the trillium immediately appeared on the screen. She had a shallow smile on her lips, and her eyebrows were curved in a quiet and gentle manner, her side face resembling Sikong Jin.

In fact, when Sikong Ye intentionally mentioned Sikong Jin to Shen Xinrui that time, there was one thing she didn’t tell her, and that was that Sikong Jin didn’t like tying her hair too much, and even if she did, there were always some strands of hair that would hang down on the sides of her cheeks, and what Mu Yunsheng often did was reach out and tuck her hair behind her ears.

Mu Yunsheng’s mind may not be able to guess all of it even by the cunning and shrewd Mu Lan, and Sikong Ye didn’t dare to make a wild guess as to whether or not he thought of Shen Xinrui as Sikong Jin’s double. But there was one thing she could see, he was indeed not quite the same to Shen Xinrui, he seemed to be in love with her, giving off a feeling that he loved her, which was also the reason why Sikong Jun was hesitant to directly lay his hands on capturing Shen Xinrui to threaten Lai Yuanhang.

No matter what Mu Yunsheng’s mind is, in short, Shen Xinrui will arrive at Congsen tomorrow, and with her, there is also her childhood friend Lai Yuanhang who has been ambiguous and entangled. He can get this news, Sikong Jun naturally can also, Sikong Jun must be very excited, because what he has been planning for six years is finally going to be staged.

The white moon in the sky, no clouds in the sky, foretelling that tomorrow must be a good day with sunny weather, just don’t know, whether something bad will happen in such a good day.

Holding an anxious mood, Shen Xinrui came to the Cong Sen, what happened at home she did not tell her parents, and deliberately lied to deceive them to stay outside for some time. Lai Yuanhang knows that she is afraid of Shen family two old follow worry, so do not tell them, but he is very heartbroken so alone to bear all of her. She is far from the fragility he imagined, after the accident, she can actually be strong enough to want to retrieve the child by herself, it seems that in the three years since he left, she has really changed a lot.

Li Yuanhang didn’t know to which extent Shen Xinrui had changed, how exactly did she get along with Mu Yunsheng in these three years, even though she had told herself that she didn’t have a relationship with him, he was now disturbed and felt that her trust in him was completely above him. Such a thing was bad, the man a woman trusted the most, besides her father was her lover, so was the trust she showed because of love?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Lai Yuanhang couldn’t help but pull Shen Xinrui who was walking in front of him, and what was on his mind blurted out, “Rui Rui, are you in love with Mu Yunsheng?”

“What?” Suddenly being asked, Shen Xinrui froze and only reacted after a few seconds, then immediately flung away Lai Yuanhang’s hand with incomparable anger. “Lai Yuanhang!!!” She glared at him angrily, “It’s at a time like this, all you have in your heart are those messy things! Aren’t you worried about the child at all!!!”

Not expecting Shen Xinrui to be so agitated, Li Yuanhang subconsciously categorized her reaction as a sign of a weak heart, and once he thought about it, he also got annoyed and raised his voice, “Are the things I’m talking about messy things? Shen Xinrui, are you weak-minded! I think you’re just in love with that brute, otherwise you wouldn’t still be defending him up to this point, saying that he’s not that kind of person!”

“Li Yuanhang, can you stop talking so harshly!” Shen Xinrui retorted unhappily.

Lai Yuanhang was offended as soon as he heard Shen Xinrui speak for Mu Yunsheng, he slammed the luggage in his hand down on the ground with force, then pulled up his voice and shouted, “He’s just an animal! I’m not wrong, or he’s even worse than an animal, do you know how many drugs have been sold through his hands, and how many people have died and their families have been destroyed! What is such a person if not an animal! What reason do you have to defend him? Is it possible that you’ve done it with him and have fallen in love with him, that’s why you’re so defensive?”

“You!!!” Shen Xinrui was so angry that her body was trembling, pointing at Lai Yuanhang and unable to speak.

“You say, did you do it with him!” Lai Yuanhang was furious, an arrow step forward to clasp Shen Xinrui’s hand and shouted.

“Li Yuanhang, don’t mess around!” Shen Xinrui struggled.

“I’m asking if you’ve done it with him!!!” Not getting an answer, Lai Yuanhang became even more enraged.

Her wrist hurt from his grip, Shen Xinrui couldn’t help but frown: “Nervous! Pervert! You let go of me! Yunsheng isn’t as horny and nasty as you, he wouldn’t be like you, he never considers my feelings and only knows how to hurt me!”

Lai Yuanhang’s eyes were red, the strength in his hands grew stronger and stronger, he was simply going to be infuriated by the words coming out of Shen Xinrui’s mouth. Mu Yunsheng Mu Yunsheng! It will always be Mu Yunsheng, she will always think he’s better and think he’s no better than him! Thinking of this, he became enraged and violently threw Shen Xinrui to the side before yelling at her, “Yes, your Yunsheng is the best! Then you mean you’re in love with him now, right!!!”

Shen Xinrui was vigorously thrown away and staggered several steps before she was able to stand still, listening to Li Yuanhang’s roar, she felt pain in her heart, and in her heart, she was thinking that if Yunsheng was there, he would not let anyone bully her. The truth and secrets that Lai Yuanhang said, she didn’t want to guess, she was just a little woman who needed to be spoiled and loved, not some great patriot. He is the one who is ridiculous, for the sake of the responsibility on his shoulders, he does not hesitate to let her bear all the pain, it is not easy for her to settle down, he has to come back and break her peaceful life.

Shen Xinrui felt that she was really tired, she was too tired of loving Li Yuanhang, so tired that she was now starting to doubt if her love was the right one.

“Li Yuanhang, you said you love me, is that true?”

Shakily standing on the green path of Cong Sen, Shen Xinrui felt that she should ask again when the other party was sober, that day he was drunk, maybe he was talking drunk like before.

The topic changed too quickly, Lai Yuanhang sniffed, his first reaction was to directly sneer out, saying: ”Shen Xinrui, isn’t your question a bit stupid? I remember I’ve answered it many times before. Moreover, I think with the current situation, it’s too ironic for you to ask this question.”

“…… “Shen Xinrui was speechless, and only felt the pain in her heart spread to her limbs in an instant, making it difficult for her to breathe, and she had to raise her hand and press on her chest so that she wouldn’t pass out with both eyes blacked out.

Sure enough, he never said love to her when he was awake.

It really was so stupid, once again she had been fooled by his words into thinking that he had meant them from the heart the night before.

After half a minute of silence, she raised her eyes to look at him and smiled ruefully, then she looked away from him and spoke blandly, “I won’t ask you this stupid question again, never again.”

Lai Yuanhang didn’t notice Shen Xinrui’s difference, he was still angry, seeing her attitude steeply become cold, he became even more angry. “What’s between us, let’s talk about it after we deal with Mu Yunsheng!”

Shen Xinrui clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to force back the tears in her eyes, then raised her head to look at Lai Yuanhang fixedly and said, “I have nothing more to talk about with you, Yunsheng is a good person, the good he did to me, I always keep it in my heart. I don’t care what you guys want to do, in short, I won’t take your side.”

Feeling that there was no need for him to argue with her anymore, Li Yuanhang sneered out, “Whether he is a good person or not, we know in our hearts! The ‘good’ he did for you, I also keep it in mind and will ‘repay’ him sooner or later. As for which side you want to stand on, that’s not a decision you can make! Hmph!” After saying this, he pulled up his luggage and took a heavy step forward.

After walking a few steps, Lai Yuanhang steeply felt that something wasn’t quite right, he turned around violently and realized that there was no one behind him, and Shen Xinrui, who was still standing a few seconds ago, had disappeared.

“Rui Rui!”

Lai Yuanhang was shocked and furious, busy flying to the place where the argument just took place, looking left and right no one was there.

“Rui Xin! Rui Xin! Shen Xinrui!”

He finally knew panic, a face of anxiety and ran forward a few steps, turned a corner and found a car in front of the dust.

“Rui Rui!!!”
