Chapter 1231 - Fickle In Love



1231 Fickle In Love 1

Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen glanced to the side and looked indifferently at him. He fell silent for a while, before looking away and turning around to sit down on the deck chair behind him. He took the cup of water from the side and took a simple sip. “Have a seat.”

His voice sounded so calm that you could not hear any emotions from it. When Han Yifeng turned to look at him, Mu Yuchen only casually pointed to the seat beside him, indicating for him to sit.

Han Yifeng did not reject him. He only looked at Mu Yuchen for a while, and then sat down.

Mu Yuchen very naturally started. Compared to the slightly dazed Han Yifeng, he seemed much calmer as he said while pouring a cup of flower tea for his guest, “How long are you planning on staying this time around?”

Han Yifeng looked at him with slight vigilance. Moments after that, he took the tea and had a sip. “I’m staying for about 10 days to half a month I guess.”

Han Yifeng’s tone was heavy. The work he came over for this time was not an easy task. Apart from the previous task, he had another one that was stuck at one of the segments when it was trying to launch in the market. Although he delegated quite a few managers there, they could not resolve the problem. Out of options, he had to come over to personally handle it himself.

“I heard that your company’s new product is planning to hit the markets here, isn’t it?”

Mu Yuchen had found out a little bit of Han Yifeng’s situation from Li Si before this. Right now, he could detect a heaviness in between his brows, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Han Yifeng sighed. Even though he did not want to appear weak before this man, upon hearing him ask that, it would not be nice for him to evade discussion about it either, so he just said, “Mmm, we were planning to launch it in the markets in two or three months.”

“Why are you here?”

Han Yifeng had not been too familiar with Glory World before this. He knew that Mu Yuchen had been in Europe for a while, but he did not know whether he expanded his work here. At the moment, since he saw Xi Xiaye around as well, he thought that they were just here on vacation.

“I’ve come to handle the matters at the branch office over here,” Mu Yuchen answered calmly. After he lowered his head to examine the cup in his hand, he thought about it and said, “I thought you’d ask me about how things are in City Z.”

When Han Yifeng heard that, he immediately laughed and turned to look at Mu Yuchen. “Why would I? Why did you think I left City Z without second thoughts back then?”

“I don’t want to know anything about what’s happening over there. If you’ve asked me to come over for this tonight, then I can definitely tell you that there’s no need to waste time on this. I really have zero interest in anything or anyone over there. I just want to let Xiao Xuan live a carefree life.”

Han Yifeng was being honest. In the past year, he had lived a very calm life with his son, and it had been a simple peace he enjoyed. He obviously did not want that to be disrupted by anything.

“You’re quite a good father,” Mu Yuchen answered calmly.

“Compared to you, I seem to still fall a little short,” Han Yifeng said in a muffled voice. He actually a little uncomfortable to be facing such a laidback Mu Yuchen!

“Evading this isn’t the best way to resolve things either.”

As he watched the current Han Yifeng, Mu Yuchen suddenly remembered the way he had been a few years ago.

Had he not been like this back then too?

Han Yifeng’s expression darkened, then he did not respond. He just smiled and looked coldly at Mu Yuchen. “What do you think then? What else can I do? I know better than all of you the kind of person Xi Xinyi is. Back then, weren’t you hoping that things between us would get worse?”

Xi Xinyi…

Han Yifeng could forget this name as he did not want to remember their past because every time he thought about it, apart from feeling disappointed, he also felt his heart ache with guilt. In the end, all that was left was further numbness…

Mu Yuchen listened but did not respond. He only tilted his body slightly and laid back leisurely before he looked up at Han Yifeng who did not look very comfortable.

“I know that she’s been finding ways to bring Xiao Xuan back to her side. All this while, she hasn’t stopped trying to track me down, but I’ve already given her too many chances. I’m done, so you’re much luckier than I am, Mu Yuchen.”

“If we were to talk about luck, shouldn’t it be you who’s lucky?” Mu Yuchen asked him back.

Han Yifeng was stunned. He forced a bitter laugh and then lowered his head to drink the tea.

“A while ago, when I was talking to Father, he mentioned you to me.”

Father?

Xi Mushan…

Xi Mushan’s face flashed in Han Yifeng’s mind.

Xi Mushan had been rather kind to him back then. When he had still been with Xi Xinyi, he cared a lot about them. It was only towards the end after the sudden incident with Xi Xiaye and Mu Yuchen that he turned his heart back onto Shen Wenna and wanted to win her back, so he put less thought into them.

Actually, when he saw Xi Mushan willing to give up on his thriving career for Shen Wenna, even Han Yifeng found that extremely admirable.

Back then, if Xi Xinyi could have also chosen that path, would everything not be different right now?

“Really? What did he say?” Han Yifeng asked gloomily.

“What else do you think he’d ask about?” Mu Yuchen put down the cup in hand and casually intertwined his fingers. He did not bring up Xi Xinyi either.

“I did let him down. How is he now?” Han Yifeng breathed in and asked in a downcast voice.

“You know that he doesn’t care about those things. He’s with Mother right now, lecturing at University A, and they’ll be retiring in a few years.”

Han Yifeng pondered for a long while before he managed to say, “When there’s a chance, I’ll go visit him with Xiao Xuan.”

When Mu Yuchen saw Han Yifeng’s sour expression, he squinted and said in an amused voice, “Are you unhappy talking to me? Technically, you should be calling me brother-in-law [1].”

As if what Mu Yuchen just read his mind, Han Yifeng blanked out. “No…”

You could hear mockery in that voice!

Brother-in-law!

That was right. He was his brother-in-law!

Xiaye and Xinyi were sisters with the same father. That was a fact that could never be changed, and so it was true that Han Yifeng should be calling Mu Yuchen brother-in-law.

“Xi Xinyi’s changed a lot ever since you left with your son. Perhaps you should pay attention to her,” Mu Yuchen simply said, and then got up with waning interest. He turned around and was about to go in when he saw Xi Xiaye coming over with a plate of fruits.

He walked up to her, then turned to look at Han Yifeng before he walked past her.
