(3)The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife

Chapter 424: Begin Again

"I remember that there was a career fair a few days ago, and a lot of students in your class have found a job. Has Wang Ning not found one?" Xi Mushan looked at Shen Wenna, perplexed, as he bent down to pick up the thesis before her and flip it to read.

"No, I heard that he wants to stay in this city."

"I'll see if there's anything suitable. We're almost done editing the dissertations these past few days. Once we return them, let's go to Maple Residence to take a look. Ah Chen..."

Knock knock.

Before Xi Mushan could finish, there was already a knock from outside. Xi Mushan then stopped what he was saying, looking at Shen Wenna questioningly, and then went to open the door.

When Xi Mushan saw who was standing outside the door, he was stunned.

Upon seeing the steadfast and bright Xi Mushan, Xi Xinyi was a little dazed, but she still called out softly to him, "Father..."

"Why are you here?" Xi Mushan stared at Xi Xinyi in confusion though his face did not reveal much of an expression.

Xi Xinyi looked inside, hesitated, and then said softly, "Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you for a while."

Xi Mushan looked at Xi Xinyi, then turned around and peered into the house before he nodded. His tall figure walked past her. "Let's go. We'll talk downstairs."

Xi Xinyi had mixed expressions as she glanced inside again, yet the door was already closed.

The father and daughter walked downstairs one after another, but the two of them did not say much. Even the atmosphere was rather stifled.

"Father, have you and Aunt been doing good?" Xi Xinyi spoke up first, finally breaking the silence.

"Pretty great. We're rushing for the students' graduation recently, so we've been a little busy. How are you?"

Xi Mushan actually did not quite know how to face this daughter of his. Even if he had not been willing to back then, Yue Lingsi did give birth to Xi Xinyi, and she was his daughter. This was a fact that could not be changed.

"I'm doing pretty well. I've just come from the sanatorium. Mother's alright too. She knows that you handled the matters at the sanatorium for her, so she's thankful for you," said Xi Xinyi softly after hesitating.

However, as Xi Xinyi said that, a smirk already flashed on Xi Mushan's face. "Thankful? Xinyi, I know very well the kind of person your mother is. I'm afraid she wouldn't have known to use that word."

Even though Xi Xinyi knew that it was not very appropriate, when she thought of the way Yue Lingsi had begged her earlier, she could not help but blurt out, "Father, Mother's suffered enough with the lesson this time. I hope that you could go see her just once. There are things that she's been wanting to say to you..."

"All that can be said between us has been said. There's nothing else to say," Xi Mushan responded with an indifferent expression.

"Father, perhaps Mother just wants to repent. She was wrong back then, but she only did so because she cared too much about you. I never knew how she felt, yet after I've experienced all of this, I can empathize with her. Right now, I really regret all those things I did to Sister. I think Mother's the same. A few days ago, Brother-in-law came to look for me..." Xi Xinyi said with a darkened expression while her voice was colored with a hint of sadness.

"Ah Chen went to look for you?" Xi Mushan seemed quite shocked as he stared at Xi Xinyi. Confusion surfaced in his eyes.

Xi Xinyi nodded as she lowered her gaze sadly and silently sighed. "Mm-hmm."
