After returning to the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yue had been resting in his room. Xiao Yue hadn't lived in this room for four years, but the furnishings in the room were still the same as when he left four years ago. Even the bedsheets and blankets were the same as four years ago.
Although Xiao Yue returned to his own home, he felt very unfamiliar and did not have the kind of intimacy he felt when he returned home. Everything was clearly something he was familiar with, but he didn't feel any intimacy at all.
Xiao Yue, who was lying on the bed recuperating, missed Du Ye and Su Nuo, who were on the team all the time. Xiao Yue really hoped that he could recover quickly and return to the place he was familiar with and liked as soon as possible. Xiao Yue felt that this place belonged to him.
"Xiao Yue, can I come in?" Xiao Mu knocked lightly on Xiao Yue's door a few times.
"Please come in," Xiao Yue withdrew his thoughts, sat up from the bed, and walked to the sofa chair beside the bed.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Xiao Yue did not expect Xiao Mu to visit him.
"Xiao Yue, why do you look like you're not in a good mood? Are you unaccustomed to staying at home alone?" Xiao Mu could clearly feel that Xiao Yue's mood was very low.
"I suppose so, In the past, no matter when I was in the team, there would always be people around me who would come and talk to me. Now, there was no one talking to me all day. Apart from the doctor who saw my injuries, even the servants gave me all kinds of food. I always felt that I was happy to be a dead man who could only breathe. "Xiao Yue did not conceal his disappointment in the slightest.
"Then why didn't you ask Du Ye to accompany you?" Xiao Mu could hear Xiao Yue's voice, but there were some things he couldn't do.
Xiao Yue replied coldly, "He has his job, so he can't stay with me all the time."
Xiao Yue, I know you really want to go back, but this is your home after all. Since you're back, you should stay here for a while. It's still too late to make other plans when your injuries are healed. Xiao Mu only wanted to persuade Xiao Yue to calm down and recover.
"Uncle, I have something that I want to ask you." Xiao Yue remembered about his fake death and wanted to ask what happened. "Well, how did my mother know about my fake death plan?"
"It's me. I thought that Su Nuo had gone to stop your plan. You shouldn't carry out that plan anymore, so I revealed this matter to your mother. I originally wanted her to understand your thoughts and let her accept Su Nuo," Xiao Mu couldn't help but sigh. "I didn't expect that girl to fail to stop you from carrying out that plan."
"It's not that Su Nuo didn't stop me, but I was already implementing my plan when she came to find me. She was already late," Xiao Yue didn't expect that it was really his uncle who leaked the news. "If my uncle hadn't leaked the news to my mother, I would have taken Su Nuo away from Capital Star by now."
"Isn't it good now? Didn't your mother also accept Su Nuo?" Xiao Mu also didn't want Xiao Yue to keep pestering this matter. "In the future, you and Su Nuo will be able to be together openly. Isn't that good?"
Xiao Yue had been holding the doll Su Nuo gave him in his hand. He rubbed his thumb and stared at Xiao Mu with a trace of scrutiny. "Uncle, do you really believe that my mother would accept Su Nuo?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Mu felt a little guilty when he saw Xiao Yue looking at him with an ice-cold gaze.
"What do you mean? Uncle, you can be considered an old martial artist. If you don't believe me, will you believe me?" Xiao Yue's gaze became even colder as he stared at Xiao Mu. "What kind of person is my mother? The things she believes in will never change. How could she accept Su Nuo? Tell me, Uncle, what exactly is my mother planning?"
"No, she didn't plan anything. Ever since you came back, she has been staying at home and getting people to treat you, getting servants to cook all kinds of food for you, and arranging your birthday party." Xiao Mu didn't expect Xiao Yue to be so suspicious. He really underestimated his nephew.
"Oh, how about this. Tell my mother that if Su Nuo doesn't go out on a mission, let her come and see me every day. Since my mother can already accept Su Nuo, it should be fine for her to come and see me." Xiao Yue continued to probe Xiao Mu.
"Every day?" Xiao Mu felt that it was impossible to do this. "Su Nuo is also very tired from going back and forth every day. Let me ask for your help. Just let Su Nuo come to see you when she has time."
"Yes, that's fine." Xiao Yue could hear that Xiao Mu was obviously perfunctory. "Also, who did my mother invite to my birthday party? Do you know?"
Xiao Mu replied ambiguously, "Naturally, they are all big shots with great prestige. There are also those people from the Xiao Clan branch."
"Understood. Then why did Uncle come to see me today?" Xiao Yue thought about how Xiao Mu hadn't told him the reason for his trip.
Xiao Mu originally wanted to test Xiao Yue's attitude towards the birthday party, but judging from Xiao Yue's state, he didn't need to ask to know what Xiao Yue's attitude was. "Oh, there's nothing special about me coming here. I just wanted to see if your injuries are better."
Xiao Yue smiled as he answered Xiao Mu's question and suddenly asked, "I'm much better now. There are no more questions for me to walk around anymore. Has my mother invited Su Nuo to my birthday party?"
Xiao Mu knew very well that it was impossible for Yue Qian to invite Su Nuo to Xiao Yue's birthday party, because this birthday party was actually his engagement party.
Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows, "Should I? Uncle's words are also vague. Do you not know if my mother invited him or not? Judging from your appearance, most likely my mother did not invite Su Nuo. I guess that's the case. Fortunately, I did not naively believe my mother's words. Otherwise, I would have been betrayed by her."
Xiao Mu did not expect that Xiao Yue had already guessed what Yue Qian was thinking. Furthermore, he had never believed in Yue Qian, which made Xiao Mu look at Xiao Yue with new eyes.
Xiao Mu felt that he should leave as well. If he continued, it would only get more and more wrong. "Xiao Yue, stop guessing. Your mother is doing it for your own good. As for Su Nuo, I think it's fine if she doesn't come. It would be embarrassing for her to stand there alone at such a banquet, wouldn't it? Alright, I should go now. You should have a good rest. I'll come and see you when I have time."
"Alright, thank you, uncle." Xiao Yue smiled and stood up to see Xiao Mu out of the room.
