Mr. Xu's physical condition has become worse and worse in recent years. This year, he handed over half of the affairs of the Xu Group to Xu Yanchen. At his age, some things are beyond his ability. The Xu Group is a family business. To achieve this step, every time

It is not easy to maintain a generation. I think when the old man was young, he should be as high-spirited as Xu Yanchen.

The yard of the Xu family's old house is Chinese-style. There are deck chairs on a flat lawn, next to a white magnolia tree, with several birdcages hanging on the white magnolia tree. The lawn is separated by a pond, and there are many koi carps in the pond.

Fatty, swimming in the pond. There are rockeries and pavilions next to the pond, which is particularly old-fashioned.

Mr. Xu was half lying on the recliner. The sunshine in the winter afternoon was particularly comfortable. He squinted his eyes slightly and heard footsteps. The old man opened his eyes and saw Lin Mu who was putting a blanket for him.

"Aunt Qiao is busy." Lin Mu said.

After she finished speaking, she did not leave, but sat down on the chair next to the lounge chair. There was a stone table next to the chair, and some tea and cakes were placed on the stone table. Lin Mu poured the old man a cup of tea.

Even in winter, the vegetation in the yard is still lush and green, and there is a moist and fresh smell in the air. In the birdcage hanging on the white magnolia tree next to it, beautiful birds call from time to time, which can be heard softly.

When Lin Mu sat down, Mr. Xu did not stop him. The two of them just sat in the yard, peaceful and comfortable. In the end, the old man started the conversation first.

"Your father was the most capable and promising young man in the Xu Group back then, but it's a pity that he had evil intentions. Otherwise, things between you and Yan Chen wouldn't have ended up like this."

He talked about the past things many times, but he didn't bother to talk about it. He only talked about some situations at that time. Lin Zhen still has some abilities. If he didn't run away back then, he should be able to do it in the Xu Group for so many years.

The position of director. However, he was too independent-minded and unwilling to subordinate himself to others. He was very greedy and had no loyalty. He chose to leave the Xu Group when it was in its most difficult time.

There is no denying this. Lin Zhen is indeed such a person, and Lin Mu doesn't want to defend him. In fact, Lin Zhen's current precarious situation is also the backlash of his past sins. If he takes someone else's, he will spit it out sooner or later.

Lin Mu didn't care about this. She held the tea cup. It was porcelain white and embroidered with gold thread and white flowers, which was particularly delicate. Lin Mu asked, "Do you still want me to leave Xu Yanchen now?"

"No." The old man replied, "Yan Chen has never asked me for anything since he was a child. You are the first. He likes you, and I won't stop him."

Xu Yanchen never resisted his participation in his affairs, and he always obeyed his opinions. He was a very obedient grandson. At first, the old man thought he married Lin Mu to take back the Lin family, but later he saw that he was so stubborn

, maybe it’s not that simple.

When Xu Yanchen came back from the company, Lin Mu and the old man were already playing chess in the teahouse. Lin Mu had a very lively mind and was not clumsy in teaching. In one afternoon, he was able to play several games with him.

The two people sat on both sides of the chessboard. Although they didn't communicate much, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Xu Yanchen stood outside the door and watched for a while before pushing the door open and entering.

Lin Mu turned around, looked at him, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Are you coming over to play chess?"

"Let me watch you play." Xu Yanchen said and sat aside. In this way, what was originally a one-person game turned into a game between the couple and the old man.

For an entire afternoon, no one cared whether we lost or won.

They stayed at the Xu family's old house until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the two said goodbye to the old man. Xu Yanchen went to the company, while Lin Mu went to the coffee shop to check the accounts of the previous quarter.

After checking the accounts, Lin Mu took a taxi to the Xu Group. Xu Yanchen had finished his work, and the two of them drove home together.

At five o'clock in the evening, the wind on the coastal road also became damp and cold, and a slanting sun set on the horizon where the sea and the sky met, dyeing the junction line golden.

The sunset at the beach was quite beautiful. Lin Mu asked Xu Yanchen to stop the two of them to watch the sunset. Xu Yanchen drove the car up the mountain. After reaching the hillside, he opened the door and got out of the car. He looked up and saw the sunset.

sea ​​surface.

The sky was filled with sunset, dyed golden red, covering the entire earth with a layer of gentleness. The wind on the top of the mountain was strong, and the cold wind blew with the moisture from the seaside, but Lin Mu did not feel cold, and just watched the sunset, feeling relaxed and happy.

The two of them watched for a while under the car. Xu Yanchen was afraid of Lin Muleng, so they got in the car. They blocked out the cold wind, and through the front window glass, the setting sun gradually set, leaving a small golden tail in the end.

Lin Mu and Xu Yanchen said that the little tail of the sunset was like a burning match. Xu Yanchen laughed after listening to her words.

"My friends said that I was Cinderella. I had a stepmother and a stepsister, and I lived in an attic. Then I met you and saved me from the dire straits of my original family." Lin Mu remembered what Chen Yi had said before and said to Xu Yanchen.

When she got out of the car just now, her nose was a little red from the cold, but her eyes were brighter, as if they were covered with a layer of clear water, bright and clear.

"Are you?" Xu Yanchen asked following her words.

"I'm not." Lin Mu laughed and said, "I am a little match girl. I lit the match and told God that I wanted to leave the Lin family. I wanted a job to support myself and a life.

I don’t want a place to live, but I also want a warm home.”

"God agreed and sent you here."

Xu Yanchen smiled faintly, with his unique tenderness in his eyes. His dark eyes were like a lake under the clear moonlight, calm but gentle.

Lin Muan's heart moved quietly. There was the refreshing smell of a man in the car. She leaned on the seat, her cheeks illuminated by the sunset.

"Your grandfather told me that you have never asked for anything from him since you were a child, and I was the first one."

When he returned to the Xu family's old house, Lin Mu and the old man were already playing Go. The two must have said something, otherwise the old man would not play chess with her so peacefully.

Xu Yanchen didn't say much, he just raised his hand to touch her cheek and responded in a low voice.

The man's silhouette was cast a shadow by the sunset, making his facial features more three-dimensional and handsome. Lin Mu opened his mouth and asked, "Husband, do you love me?"

Xu Yanchen raised his eyes slightly. Under his thick eyelashes, his eyes moved slightly. He smiled and said, "Well, what about you."

"I love you too." Lin Mu nodded, but she added honestly, "But not much yet. The progress bar is 30%. I will continue to work hard and love you well."

This was the first time a girl expressed her feelings to him. It was not excitement or liking, but love. The girl's eyes were shining, which gradually merged with the warmth in his heart. Xu Yanchen looked at her, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.

"good."
