Chapter 561: Chapter 559 Reunion_1

Time flies, swift as an arrow...

One year and three months later—

Mu Group’s top floor CEO office—

The golden sunlight pierced the clouds, showering the earth with its majestic, spectacular radiance...

Mu Zisu stood desolate and icy before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down as the pale golden sunlight sprinkled upon the delicate crystal smile he held in his hand, the collision of light and crystal refracting a dazzling, multicolored glint...

Mu Zisu gazed at the cute smiling face, his eyes somewhat unfocused as if, through that smile, he saw the beautiful, otherworldly, and compelling face etched in his mind...

He reached with his right hand, lightly caressing the corner of the smile with his forefinger. He wanted to smile, but no smile came; instead, the bitterness in his heart grew denser...

Xiaoxiao... I’m sorry, I remember your words, that I should be happy every day. Yet without you, happiness eludes me...

Lost in thought, a knock on the door of his office brought him back to reality. He turned, issuing a faint "Come in."

The door opened, and a man who appeared to be about Mu Zisu’s age walked in, but his expression was as rigid and stern as they come, the mark of someone who was single-minded to a fault.

"Young master... it’s time to pick up the young ladies..." Zuo Yi said with his head slightly bowed, his voice magnetic and powerful yet respectful.

Zuo Yi was directly transferred to Mu Zisu’s side from the Qinglong Association, capable with pen and sword alike, tall and handsome. Yet the man was like a stone, cold and hard, akin to the legendary unyielding official.

He was Mu Zisu’s personal assistant—

All the beauties in the secretarial office were under his management. Mu Zisu’s daily schedules were his responsibility; in short, anything related to the company and Mu Zisu was his domain.

When he first took over the secretarial office, the female secretaries were blooming with joy at the arrival of such an attractive man. But after three days, they realized he was impervious to sentiment, a veritable stern judge. His approach was swift and decisive, without any dallying. He knew nothing of cherishing beauty, only the harshness of destroying flowers, leaving them lamenting endlessly...

In the first half month, the secretarial office was filled with sorrowful cries. It took Ji Yunqing and Mu Tianyi, who couldn’t bear to see the beauties treated so harshly by the unromantic man, visiting the office three times a day to comfort them...

Thankfully, after a month, they finally adjusted to this harsh overseer...

Hearing Zuo Yi’s words, Mu Zisu nodded slightly and walked to his desk, opened a drawer and carefully placed the item in his hand inside.

Zuo Yi knew that his young master was pondering about that lady again...

This object, he carried it with him every day, gazing upon it absently whenever he had a moment to spare.

He sighed resignedly to himself, it was hard to believe that even their capable young master could reveal such a pining side.

As he mused, Mu Zisu had already strode past him and walked out the door, and he hurriedly followed, closing the door behind him.

Mu Zisu, Mu Zixuan, and Mu Ziqing had agreed that when they returned, he would go to the airport to pick them up and bring them home...

And now, they were finally back. Mu Zixuan had said she would be gone for a year; though it turned out to be three months longer, it was understandable—she’d waited for Mu Ziqing...

Arriving at the airport, from afar, Mu Zisu saw Mu Ziqing waving at him...

Mu Zixuan stood by her side, silently smiling at Mu Zisu—it was evident she, too, was in high spirits...

A hint of a smile finally tugged at the corners of Mu Zisu’s mouth. Though it was somewhat stiff, it was still intoxicating...

"Brother..." Mu Ziqing ran up to Mu Zisu like a child and hugged him tightly.

Mu Zisu raised his hand and gently patted her back.

Mu Ziqing stood up, looking at Mu Zisu, whose expression was even colder, and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. She knew he had been very upset, and this sadness would not fade with time; it was ingrained in his heart, accompanying him incessantly...

She was also very upset and heartbroken by Xiaoxiao’s death. Even after being sent to England, she still cried every day, bursting into tears whenever she thought of her—until Shanshan left, after which she gradually felt better...

"Brother..." Mu Zixuan also extended her arms and hugged Mu Zisu.

"It’s good to have you back..."

Mu Zixuan curved her lips slightly, this was her home, with her family, whom she missed every day, missed them very much...

"Young Master, Miss... it’s time to go back..." Zuo Yi, who had been directly ignored by the two, finally spoke up beside Mu Zisu.

Mu Ziqing and Mu Zixuan both turned their heads to look at him, "Who are you?" they asked in unison.

Zuo Yi’s expression remained unchanged, his attitude faithful, "I am Zuo Yi, Young Master’s personal assistant..."

Only then did the two of them nod in understanding.

"Let’s go, let’s go home..." Mu Zixuan turned to look at Mu Zisu, who was silent.

Mu Zisu nodded, speaking softly, "Let’s go home..."

After they left, a person emerged from behind a nearby pillar, followed by several bodyguards.

Pei Mojing looked at the increasingly thin figure of Mu Zixuan and couldn’t help but feel a surge of heartache. He had gone to England twice secretly to see her, and she was a little chubbier then than she was now. To think that after not seeing her for five months, she had lost quite a bit of weight...

Suddenly, Mu Zixuan sensed someone staring at her from behind, but when she turned around, there were only passing crowds...

"What’s wrong?" Mu Ziqing asked her.

Mu Zixuan smiled and shook her head, "Nothing’s wrong, let’s go..."

Walking at the forefront, Mu Zisu couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh...

The return of Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing from abroad brought joy to the Mu Family...

The days without the two young misses were indeed much quieter at the Mu Family household.

Mother Mu and Su Wanxia were so happy that they hugged Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing one after another, the two princesses had finally returned.

Mu Yingchen looked at the two and teased, "Finally decided to come back?"

Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing promptly sat one on each side of him, beginning their joint onslaught.

"Dad... the only reason I came back late is all because of Qiqi’s academic issues..." Mu Zixuan was the first to assert.

"Dad... That’s the school’s problem, it has nothing to do with me..." Mu Ziqing also raised her hand to absolve herself of the blame.

Mu Yingchen shook his head helplessly, these two girls!

Mother Mu smiled and waved at them, "Come here, Shanshan, Qiqi, let grandma see whether you’ve gotten fatter or thinner?"

Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing immediately shifted their positions and sat next to Mother Mu.

Mother Mu looked at Mu Ziqing and nodded, "Hmm, about the same as the last time you came back..."

Then she took a careful look at Mu Zixuan beside her. After a while, she said with concern, "Shanshan... you’ve lost weight..."
