From now on, he would chase after Wen Xuxu . Just like the Chinese idiom 'xuxu rusheng', Xuxu was placed in front while Rusheng was at the back .
Xuxu returned to the house and she heard sounds in the living room . After removing her shoes, she peeked her head from the front door and glanced inside .
Yan Weihong and Mu Li were sitting on the sofa watching TV . Yan Weihong held the fruit platter while Mu Li ate .
Occasionally, Yan Weihong would feed Mu Li with a piece of fruit .
She had witnessed these scenes often . Second Uncle Yan was known for loving and doting on Aunt Mu Li .
"Aunt Mu Li, Second Uncle . " Xuxu entered and shot them a bright smile .
"Xuxu, you're back . Come and have some fruits . "

In the past, with Mu Li around, Yan Weihong doesn't usually speak . And there weren't many opportunities for him to talk as well .
But today, to Xuxu's surprise, it was Yan Weihong who spoke first . He gestured to the fruit platter as he smiled at Xuxu .
Madam Mu Li gave a furtive glare at the man beside her .
All men were the same . They would forget about their wives when they have their grandchildren .
She took a piece of fruit and popped it inside her mouth . Then she beckoned to Xuxu . "Xuxu, come over . "
Xuxu sat down beside Mu Li, and the latter carefully chose a pear from the platter for her . "You have to eat more fruits . From tomorrow onwards, I'll make sure you have chicken soup and bird nest porridge to eat every day . Look at how skinny you are . "
Xuxu shyly smiled .

Her relationship with the Yan family wasn't just simply tied to Yan Rusheng . With Mu Li, she felt as though she was her daughter .
Yan Rusheng opened the door and entered the living room .
It startled Yan Weihong and Mu Li when they saw him . They glanced at Xuxu, looking puzzled .
They don't understand why they came back together .
Xuxu looked at Mu Li and Yan Weihong and softly spoke, "Aunt Mu Li, I have something to tell both of you . "
She seemed rather nervous and apprehensive as though she couldn't bring herself to say the words .
Mu Li observed her, though her smile remained unchanged . "Just say it . "
Xuxu solemnly said, "I intend to move back to my own apartment . "
She said it bluntly and in a forthright manner .
Mu Li smiled in response . "That sounds good . A change of environment, a change of mood . "
She stretched her hand and gripped Xuxu's shoulders as though she was silently giving her encouragement and support .
Xuxu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her response . It comforted her . "Thank you, Aunt Mu Li . "
But deep down, she knew that she wasn't really whole-heartedly supporting her, neither was she on the same side as her . She knew that Mu Li wasn't supportive of her getting a divorce .
She may appear to be insensitive and loud sometimes, but Xuxu could never beat her in terms of craftiness and wit .
She couldn't understand what was on her mind and what she was 'plotting' .
"Do you have anything to pack?" Mu Li continued, "I'll help you . I can send you there as well . When do you intend to leave? Your apartment hasn't been occupied for quite some time . I can go over and help you tidy the place . "
Yan Weihong had a sudden impulse to punch his wife when he saw how enthusiastic and supportive she was of their daughter-in-law moving out .
He felt that no matter what the circumstances were, to allow his pregnant daughter-in-law to move out wasn't right . She had no one to take care of her and it isn't safe .
He wore a smile . He spoke, "Xuxu, it's inconvenient for you to move out and stay alone by yourself . Aunt Zhang is at home, and we are here too . All of us can help to take care of you . "
He quietly slipped his hand towards Mu Li's back and pinched her hard .
Madam Mu Li frowned and shot him a murderous glare .
This old fellow was too realistic . For the sake of his grandchild, he had used force on her . True enough, a man does indeed place more importance and emphasis in their future generations and carrying their family line .
