Chapter 160 How can I let go?
Mu Nanyan just stared at Xu Nanxing. She didn't understand what Xu Nanxing meant. Was she here just now? Was she kicked out by Lu Yiran? No wonder he hadn't been there just now. It turned out he was with Xu Nanxing.
Mu Nanyan was not interested in what was going on between the two of them. As long as she and Chenchen were not involved, they could do whatever they wanted.
Mu Nanyan glanced at Xu Nanxing and suddenly felt a little sympathy for her. She had been with Lu Yiran for so many years, but got nothing in return and made herself so embarrassed. She had no idea what she was trying to achieve.
Mu Nanyan had already experienced Lu Yiran's ruthlessness. She was glad that she chose to leave. Otherwise, Xu Nanxing's current fate might be hers.
"Xu Nanxing, you never lost to me, but to yourself."
Mu Nanyan's tone was calm but with a hint of helplessness.
"I've never thought of competing with you for anything. Feelings can't be won by competing. If you like someone, you like them. If you don't like someone, you don't like them. You can't force it."
Xu Nanxing raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness:
"Stop lying to me! I won't believe you again! You said you had nothing to do with Brother Yiran, so what are you doing now? You said you didn't want to rely on the child to win Brother Yiran's heart, but he wants to drive me away because of the child!"
When Mu Nanyan heard this, she didn't feel touched at all, but instead began to worry.
Did Lu Yiran want to seize the custody of Chenchen? He just agreed verbally, but was actually preparing to seize the custody of Chenchen?
Thinking of this, Mu Nanyan felt a little uneasy. After all, the capital was Lu Yiran's territory. She felt that it would be safer for her to take Chenchen back to Haicheng as soon as possible.
"I can't control what Lu Yiran thinks, nor do I want to control it."
Mu Nanyan looked at Xu Nanxing with a hint of admonition in her tone.
"Xu Nanxing, we have known each other for a while. I advise you to let it go. You are still young and there is no need to waste your time on someone who is not worthy. You deserve a better life instead of trapping yourself in a hopeless relationship."
"lay down?"
There was a hint of hysteria in Xu Nanxing's voice.
"I've been in love with Brother Yiran for twelve years! How can I let go of someone who has amazed you throughout your youth? Tell me!"
Mu Nanyan was silent. She couldn't refute Xu Nanxing's words.
Yes, twelve years of relationship, even friendship is hard to give up, let alone love?
"But he doesn't like you."
There was a hint of helplessness and pity in Mu Nanyan's tone.
Xu Nanxing heard this and tears welled up in her eyes. She shook her head, her voice filled with despair:
"No, that's not the case! Brother Yiran is obviously very good to me, he obviously..."
"He treats you well, and you know better than me why."
Mu Nanyan interrupted her with a hint of coldness in her tone.
"Xu Nanxing, stop deceiving yourself and wake up. Your life shouldn't revolve around just one person."
After saying that, Mu Nanyan turned and left. She knew that she had said enough, and the rest would have to be figured out by Xu Nanxing himself.
She took a few steps, but her mood was still heavy.
Looking at what happened to Xu Nanxing, Mu Nanyan suddenly felt that girls always seemed to be the losers in relationships.
Boys can say they don’t love someone anymore and break up at any time, but girls are often deeply involved and unable to extricate themselves.
She sighed softly, feeling a little complicated.
The two servants had left, and Mu Nanyan had no choice but to continue wandering around here, hoping to find someone to take her back.
As she walked, she looked around, feeling a little anxious.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure running towards her out of the corner of her eye, and bumped straight into her calf.
Mu Nanyan looked down and found that it was Chenchen.
"Chenchen, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time..."
Mu Nanyan was stunned before she finished speaking, because she found that Chenchen was in a very abnormal state.
He never looked up at her, but just held her calves tightly, refusing to let go.
"Chenchen, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Nanyan patted Chenchen's back gently and tried to squat down to see his expression, but Chenchen buried his face in her legs. Mu Nanyan could not move and could not see his expression.
After a long while, Chenchen said sullenly:
"Mommy, I want to go back to Haicheng."
Mu Nanyan's heart tightened, and she quickly asked:
"What happened? Weren't you having fun just now? Why do you suddenly want to go back?"
Chenchen's voice was still muffled, with a hint of grievance:
"I don't like it here, let's go."
Mu Nanyan didn't know what had happened to Chenchen, but seeing him like this, she felt heartbroken.
She hadn't seen Chenchen with such an expression for a long time.
Chenchen is usually easy to talk to and rarely asks for anything. This time he was so insistent, so Mu Nanyan naturally wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, she was also worried that Lu Yiran might compete with her for the custody of Chenchen. Thinking of this, she became more determined to leave early.
"Okay, let's go back to Haicheng."
Mu Nanyan said softly, with a soothing tone in her voice,
"Chenchen, let go of Mommy first. Let's go say goodbye to Grandma, okay?"
Chenchen then slowly loosened his hand and looked up at Mu Nanyan. His eyes were red, obviously he had just cried.
Mu Nanyan felt a pang in her heart. She squatted down and gently wiped away the tears on his face, and asked softly:
"Chenchen, tell Mommy, what happened? Did someone bully you?"
Chenchen shook his head and said in a low voice:
"No... I just don't want to be here anymore."
Mu Nanyan felt even more upset when she saw Chenchen's aggrieved look.
She knew that although Chenchen was young, he was very thoughtful and something must have happened to make him unhappy.
She hugged Chenchen gently and said softly:
"Okay, we'll leave right away."
Mu Nanyan held Chenchen in her arms and prepared to walk back. Chenchen hugged her neck tightly, buried his little face in her shoulder, and refused to look up.
He was afraid that someone would see him crying on the street and feel embarrassed.
Mu Nanyan took a few steps and suddenly said awkwardly:
"Chenchen, do you know the way? I seem to be lost."
Chenchen was amused by Mu Nanyan's words. He always knew that his mother was a directionally challenged person, but he didn't expect that she could get lost in a place like the old house.
He raised his head, wiped the corners of his eyes, and whispered:
"This way."
Chenchen pointed Mu Nanyan in a way that was completely opposite to the one he had just taken.
He was afraid of meeting Lu Yiran, so he took Mu Nanyan around in circles for a long time before finally seeing the building where the living room was.
The two walked into the living room and saw Old Mrs. Lu still sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for them.
Seeing Chenchen coming back, Mrs. Lu immediately showed a kind smile on her face, waved and said:
"Chenchen, come here quickly, come to grandma."
