“Step down?”
Mu Yuchen looked at Xi Xiaye in surprise. “When did she tell you that?”
Zhuang Shurong was a person who valued her career very much. It was not easy for her to reach this position. Theoretically, she could still keep on for a few more years, but now…
“The night before we set off for our vacation.”
Xi Xiaye took a sip of the tea beside her and sighed softly, “To be honest, I really admire Mother. When she told me that back then, I still could not believe it. She said that with the situation back home, she did not want the house to be so empty. Moreover, Xiao Rui, Wei’er, and Xiao Cheng are still so young. We’re usually busy, we can’t just leave our children with Aunt Fang and the others. Mother wants to personally take care of the children. They are gradually growing up and becoming more sensible, their education is very important.”
“Moreover, by stepping down like this, she could take better care of Father and have Father worry less about the matters at home, as well as us.”
When he heard Xi Xiaye’s words, Mu Yuchen suddenly fell silent. A moment later, he took the tea from Xi Xiaye’s hand and drank it in two gulps, “It’s naturally for the best if she thinks that way. It looks like the death of Grandfather and Grandmother has dealt a huge blow to Father and Mother. Mother isn’t the kind of person who would give up her career so easily. I think that apart from us, she’s doing this mainly because of Father.”
“Mmm, I think so too. Father and mother’s relationship had always been like this where they raised a case and treated each other with respect, but from the way they looked at each other, one could always catch those deep feelings. I think they’re probably the ones who understand love the most. Sacrifice and fulfillment.”
As Xi Xiaye said this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she took a deep breath—
“Mr. Mu, I really hope that when we’re old, we can be like them.”
“Of course.”
…
In fact, when Xi Xiaye mentioned this to Mu Yuchen, Zhuang Shurong had already submitted her resignation. For the past few days, Zhuang Shurong had been staying at home with Mu Xiao Cheng, every day, she would send Qi Wei’er and Mu Zirui to and from school.
Zhuang Shurong was usually a strong woman who did not smile. She was very uptight and serious, but now that she had spent so much time with her grandson, she suddenly felt that this kind of life was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Just like this moment.
After coaxing Mu Zirui and Qi Wei’er to sleep, Zhuang Shurong carried Mu Xiao Cheng to take a shower.
Mu Xiaocheng had been sleeping with Zhuang Shurong and Mu Tangchuan for the past few days.
The little fella was a smart person. Because of him, the haze of Mu Yinan’s departure had dissipated a lot.
“Come, Xiao Cheng, come to Grandfather!”
Mu Tangchuan had already showered and was lying on the bed reading a book. Mu Xiao Cheng was playing with Zhuang Shurong’s glasses with a focused look on his face.
When he heard his grandfather calling him, the little guy turned to look at Mu Tangchuan.
“Call me Grandfather, come!”
“Grandfather… hug…”
Mu Xiao Cheng climbed over in a friendly manner, but his little eyes stopped on the pair of glasses on the bridge of Mu Tangchuan’s nose.
Mu Tangchuan was not that good at playing with babies. Looking at this little guy who resembled his father, Mu Yuchen, and hearing such a tender call of ‘grandfather’, Mu Tangchuan felt his entire heart go soft!
“Give me a hug! Come here, let Grandfather give you a hug.”
Mu Tangchuan pulled Mu Xiao Cheng into his arms. He was extremely precious.
“Grandfather… I want ride a big horse…”
“Okay, we’ll ride a big horse!”
…
Zhuang Shurong came out of the bathroom and heard the old and the young playing happily on the bed. Mu Xiao Cheng was riding on Mu Tangchuan’s neck while Mu Tangchuan was…
“Don’t spoil him too much! Your neck isn’t good anymore, don’t torture it too much.”
Zhuang Shurong walked over in a few steps and carried Mu Xiao Cheng down. However, Mu Xiaocheng held onto Mu Tangchuan tightly and looked at Zhuang Shurong unhappily. “Grandmother is bad!”
“Oh, my little devil, Grandmother is bad now? The way you look when you’re angry is so much like your father when he was young. When your father was angry, he behaved like you too.”
“Daddy, Mommy…”
Now that Mu Yuchen was mentioned, the little guy immediately thought of Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye when he mentioned ‘Daddy’. He looked around and was obviously looking for Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye. When he did not see them, he immediately rolled over and slid off the bed. Then, he walked towards the door with his little arms and short legs
“Daddy… Daddy… Mummy…”
As she walked forward, she was still thinking about Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye.
When the little guy missed his parents, he would go straight for Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye’s room. His memory was very good, and he was very smart too. He could even recognize his parents’ rooms.
He found the room a few times and went in to look for a long time. When he did not find Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, the little guy started crying. Zhuang Shurong coaxed him for a long time before she stopped him.
“What did you suddenly bring up his father?”
Mu Tangchuan glanced at his wife and quickly got up to follow her out.
“I didn’t realize.”
Zhuang Shurong was annoyed and quickly chased after him.
…
It was not easy to coax Mu Xiaocheng to sleep. Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong were a little tired, but when they looked at Mu Xiaocheng who was sleeping soundly on the bed, their eyes were filled with gentleness.
“Tangchuan, I’ve already submitted my resignation report. In just two days, the results came out. I can finally take good care of the children at home and accompany you along the way. I’ve been married to you for so many years, but I’ve never fulfilled my responsibilities as a wife. All these years, it’s all thanks to your parents. Now…”
Hearing this, Mu Tangchuan reached out and put his arm around her shoulders, patting her gently, “We’re an old married couple. There’s no need to say these words. You’ve always done well, but I feel like I owe you too much. You’ve given birth to such a good son for me. It’s also been very hard on Ah Mo and the others. It’s really hard on you to step down now.”
“What are you talking about? I’ve been wanting to step down. I’ve been in politics for more than 30 years. I should be used to it. It’s naturally best for me to step down now. It’s time for me to fulfill my obligations. The children have been working hard, so we have to be considerate of them.”

Zhuang Shurong smiled. “Actually, things are pretty good now. You don’t have to worry about work. It’s really nice to accompany the children and you.”
“When we have some free time later, shall we go on vacation too? Let’s go to the surrounding cities. I’ve been too busy these years, I haven’t been taking you out for holidays.”
“You, if you’re on vacation, just stay at home and take care of your health. You’ve lost a lot of weight compared to before. The waters in the circle are too deep, and both you and I have had such a hard time walking through it. I’m really worried about you.”
“What’s there to worry about? In a few years, I’ll retire too. I’ll also be home to accompany you, the children, and enjoy life.”
