"Come, I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Xi Mu City held her white hands and walked towards the door.

"Aren't we going to register?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Xi Mu Cheng's eyes, "What's the rush? Let's go after eating!"

No, no. The character wasn't right! The one who should be worried was him, how did it become her? Man …

Xi Mu Cheng said he would take her to eat something delicious, but it was actually a private restaurant. It was a simple second floor building for the second trial. The decorations were simple and comfortable.

He passed the menu to Xia Xiaoxiao and watched as she ordered a bunch of dishes like a pig. Then, he used his chopsticks to touch her and said, "You ordered that much, you're a pig!"

"Yes, I am a pig and I'm willing to do it. It's not like I'm going to pay for it anyway. If you don't eat, you won't be able to do it. It's none of your business!" Xia Xiaoxiao said in a bad mood while rolling her eyes at him, "Hmph!"

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Xia Xiaowang looked out from upstairs. This place was not bad at all. There were no tall buildings blocking his view, and as his horizons widened, his mood also improved.

"Hey!" Look, that's an orphanage. So this place is so close to an orphanage! Why didn't I notice it before? "

Xi Mu City looked in the direction of Xia Xiaoxian's finger. It really was an orphanage. Even the banyan tree at the entrance could be seen clearly.

"Do you often go to the orphanage to see the children?"

"Yeah, I was in that orphanage when I was a kid." Xia Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly turned low. She rubbed her eyes and a trace of loneliness flashed across them.

Looking at the woman in front of him, the softest part of Xi Mu City's heart seemed to have been affected by something, and it even ached for her.

"Is that a tear-shaped mole at the corner of your eye?" Somehow, he couldn't control his impulse to reach out and touch it.

Xia Xiaoxiao did not avoid him, letting his gentle hands slide from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks, "That's right. Otherwise, why would I be so fond of crying?" Maybe it's the one doing the trick! "

"Does she like to cry? I think I've only seen it once. " The pain made Xi Mucheng retract his hand and place it on his chest.

"Marry me and let me protect you. I will never let you cry again!" He didn't even think about blurting out these words, as if they were written in a script.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned. What a familiar sentence. It brought her back to sixteen years ago. A pair of small hands, with a childish promise, made her believe in beauty.

"Alright!"

"If only you were him …"

Sometimes fate is just so wonderful, taking him away from one time, will certainly bring him back to you at another time even better.

Watching the two of them as the atmosphere gradually turned warm, the boss at the side entered the screen at an inappropriate time to ruin the atmosphere.

"It's here!" Mu Cheng, your uncle was busy. I heard the waiter said you were here. " In front of him was a man in his fifties. Although he had been busy in the dining room, he was wearing formal attire and was in high spirits. There was no trace of him having been tempered by the passage of time.

"Uncle, you don't need to entertain me, but I will really take up some of your time this time!" As he said that, he stood up and walked to Xia Xiaoling's side.

"Uncle, this is your nephew's wife, Xia Xiao Wen! "We're going to register after dinner, so we wanted to bring it over for you guys to see." At this moment, her beautiful face was no longer cold, and what replaced it was a childish smile. Her sexy thin lips curved into a brilliant curve, revealing her white teeth that were crystal clear …

The elder in front of him smiled as he looked at Xia Xiaoling. He didn't give her a good look and it made her feel warm and comfortable. It was a kind of respect and trust for his nephew's eyesight.

"Hello, Miss Xia. I'm Mu Cheng's uncle, Xi Jiang."

Seeing the elder's outstretched hand, Xia Xiaowang quickly went up to him, "Hello, uncle." She really liked the elder in front of her. The elder's gaze towards her was like that of an aunt, filled with tender love.

"Alright uncle, go back to your work. I will properly entertain your daughter-in-law for you." Xi Mucheng pushed his uncle from behind and whispered into his ear, "Uncle, don't be a light bulb!"

"Haha, you stinking brat!" Xi Jiang turned around and flicked his finger at Xi Mu Cheng, then nodded slightly towards Xia Xiaowang before turning around and leaving.

"Are you and your uncle on good terms?" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the childish Xi Mu City and knew how much trust and reliance he had placed on his uncle.

"Yeah, ever since I was very young, I've always lived in my uncle's house."

"What about your parents?"

Hearing the words' parents', Xi Mu Cheng's eyes darkened, but he soon calmed down and started to talk about something he didn't want to talk about, "My parents had a car accident on the way home, so I thought they didn't love me, so I left me at my uncle's house. Later on, I found out that it was my mother who protected me, which saved my life, but my parents both left in that car accident."

He didn't expect that the seemingly ruthless CEO would experience so many things. "What about you? Will you be staying at uncle's house from now on?" Xia Xiaoling wanted to know more about the man before her, the man who was about to become her husband.

"My head was injured in the car accident, causing me to lose my memory. Uncle sent me abroad to recuperate!" Xi Mu City was now as gentle as a wounded kitten. Xia Xiaoxiao brought him a warm and familiar feeling, causing him, who had been on guard for almost 30 years, to let his guard down at this moment.

Xia Xiaoxiao could not bear to continue asking, "The dishes are here, let's eat!" Xia Xiaoling successfully changed the topic.

"Hur hur, good!" A smile appeared on Xi Mu Cheng's face as he stared at the woman who was forcing herself to smile. He understood what she meant.

Looking at the table full of dishes in front of him, Xi Mucheng squinted his eyes and teased, "Hey pig, it's your time!" He used his other hand to knock on the table slowly and rhythmically.

He returned to his usual combat state and Xia Xiaoxi looked at him with disdain, "You want to see me make a fool of myself? You're underestimating me too much. Just wait and see."

Xi Mu City barely touched the dishes on the table. They had just watched Xia Xiaoxiao's graceful movements, yet it was so fast that it was annihilating everything at once.

"This woman is really worthy of being a pig. She met me, an average man really can't afford to raise her!" He looked at the woman in front of him, his heart pounding.

Xia Xiaoling wiped her mouth and raised her chin to look complacently at the man in front of her. Her meaning was, "Tsk, look at your inexperienced look!"

"I'm full, let's go!" Xia Xiaoling patted her stomach and shouted, "Not good! My stomach is getting bigger!"

Xi Mu City stood up and looked at the protrusion on Xia Xiaoling's stomach as he sighed inwardly, "Ai!" "It's a pity about this dress."
