Long-time Friends

"You must be Xi Mu , right ?" , Qi Heng Yan asked .

"Yeah , I am" , Xi Mu nodded confusedly .

Qi Heng Yan walks to him and hugs his tall figure . "Thank you , for saving her"

"No problem , uncle" , he said awkwardly as he figures out what is going on .

"Dad , your daughter is here , why did you hug other children first , huh ?" , Xiu said and walks toward Yang Xiao Yi , "it's okay , mum will hug me first" , she hugged her , tightly .

Yang Xiao Yi pushed her from the hugs gently and asked , "How are you , dear ? Where did you got hurt ? Are you okay now ?" , she asked Xiu many questions at once while checking her body .

"I'm okay , mum . Just a little deep cut at my abdomen" , she said and put her little hand at where the wounds place .

"Aww...that must be hurt . Sorry dear for failing to protect you" , she said and rubbing Xiu's abdomen .

"Nah , it's okay , mum" , she pats her mum's back to get her rest assured .

"That bastard , Qi Sheng Hao ! Just you wait !" , Qi Heng Yan said .

"What you gonna do , huh ?" , Qin Li Feng snickered .

"I'm gonna tear him apart just like how he does it to my princess" , he said angrily .

"I'm in !" , Xi Mu intervened .

"Me too" , Yang Xiao Yi also stepped out .

"Then , me too" , suddenly unfamiliar voices interrupted .

"Xi Li ? You're back ?" , Xi Mu confused .

"I am already back for a week . It just you busy with your girl" , he teased Xi Mu .

Yang Xiao Yi is suddenly silent .

"Xi Li , introduce yourself first . Look at the auntie there , she shocked and aging ten years more" , Qin Li Feng teased her .

"Hey , are you done , old grandpa ?" , Yang Xiao Yi replied .

"Hehe , I'm Qin Xi Li , Xi Mu's twin" , Xi Li introduce himself .

"You had a twin , Ah Feng ?!" , Xiao Yi shocked .

"Yeah , who told you disappeared back then . You can't look at this handsome baby" , Qin Li Feng teased her .

"Blame your friend" , she said .

"Hey hey hey , don't bring me into your fight" , he warned them .

"...but why have I never heard your name ?" , Yang Xiao Yi still confused .

"He said he likes privacy" , Xi Mu teased Xi Li .

"Quiet ! I just wanna prepare for emergency" , he said proudly .

"Yeah yeah"

Xi Mu realized something . "Where is Xiao Xiu ?!" , he panicked .

"She went out just now" , Xi Li said .

Xi Mu went out and found her with Muxiu playing on the grass . Xi Li followed him from the back .

"Wow ! Muxiu is that kind to others ?" , he's in denial . Remembering how harsh Muxiu was towards him .

"Yeah , it also surprised me too" , he smiled while watching those two playing around .

"Seems it's not just Muxiu , another devil also knocked out by her" , Xi Li grinned at her brother .

"Shut up !"

Xi Li stuck out his tongue to tease his brother . "Don't want !"

Xi Mu slapped him on his back . "Ouch ! I will tell her you are a devil !" , he runs to Xiu .

Xi Mu shook his head , giving up on his twin .

...

"Haven't found her ?" , Qi Sheng Hao asked Mu Yan .

"She died...in the woods" , Mu Yan said to his father . Lying about Xiu Xian whereabouts .

Qi Sheng Hao laughed . "Hahahaha...good job , son" , he said and put his hand on Mu Yan's shoulder . "After this , first family will become weaker without a heir . We will become stronger" , he grinned .

"But dad...what will we say to uncle ?" , Mu Yan asked as he know his uncle won't let it slide .

"Don't worry . I have sketched a beautiful scenario" , he smiled like a devil .
