Chapter 693: Unreplaceable Bonds

Book Chapter 693: No One Can Replace You (Update 1)

The serene night exuded a poetic charm. Lin

Silver moonlight cast a warm glow onto the lounge chair on the villa’s balcony…

“Don’t worry about me and the child; my parents are taking care of things,” one voice reassured.

With graceful, jade-like fingers, Mu Qingwu gently pinched her little brother’s cheek. A delicate smile played on her lips as she teased, “If you just can’t let go, then go back.”

“Nothing is impossible to let go of,” came the reply.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes, resting his head in his sister’s embrace. “When time rushes in, you learn to let it go,” he murmured.

It was time to abandon those stubborn attachments!

“Really?”

A playful glimmer sparked in Mu Qingwu’s eyes, her charm growing more alluring. “If everything can be released, does that mean you and the kid can let go too?”

“Are you being difficult…” Xiao Yu muttered, his mouth twitching.

So you prefer that little, whiny sister over the bold, cool queen?

Lately, someone extra coquettish – with a pitiful, almost charming pout – had nestled their face into Mu Qingwu’s embrace, grumbling, “Watch out or I’ll run away from home.”

Divorce warning!

“Hahaha…”

Mu Qingwu burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling mischievously like a playful goddess teasing a simpleton. “Willing to let go, are you?”

Xiao Yu simply grinned, keeping silent.

“Fool,” he chided.

Cradling her little brother’s handsome face, Mu Qingwu leaned down and planted a tender kiss, cooing, “Off you go, Inspector Ying!”

Some attachments run as deep as the devotion of plants to the passing of time…

Lifting his head from her embrace, Xiao Yu stared up at the sky, his eyes tracing the full, luminous moon and its pure radiance.

Until a bright spark ignited in his gaze.

Just like starlight reflecting the moon’s glow!

“When are we leaving?”

Mu Qingwu clutched her little boy close, her long lashes catching the light.

“No rush,” she replied.

Nestled in her arms, Xiao Yu squinted contentedly, “If things ever get tricky, Big Boss will call me personally.”

The Earth keeps spinning regardless of who’s around.

Yet, some people and moments are irreplaceable.

Not everyone possesses Xiao Yu’s abilities.

Since the nation hasn’t deployed his blade yet,

it only means the situation isn’t as severe as it appears – it’s still manageable.

“Then keep us company for a few days,” someone suggested.

Mu Qingwu’s eyes softened like flowing water, bewitching and ethereal.

In that moment, she radiated irresistible allure!

This was exasperating… Xiao Yu got up and scooped Mu Qingwu into his arms as they headed toward the bedroom.

Sister had to check on the homework.

Of course, it had to be done in another room once the kids were asleep…

Midnight.

Back in the main bedroom, the little couple nestled together until sleep claimed them.

Suddenly.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes.

He noticed their son had sat up on the small bed not far off.

Sleepwalking?

“Dad, I want to sleep with you,” the child declared.

Xiao Mu, perched on the bed, pouted, “I’m cold.”

“…”

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yu carefully withdrew his arm from under Mu Qingwu’s neck. Sitting up, he glared at his son, “Go back to sleep and don’t cause any trouble.”

“Alright,” came the quiet reply.

Xiao Mu sighed like a mini adult, “Fine then, let me feel the cold. I’ve been tough since I was little – just leave me as the poor, unwanted kid.”

What the heck… Xiao Yu stared at his son in disbelief.

That look was as if he were gazing at a refreshing glass of green tea.

No, neither he nor Mu Qingwu acted like that.

Who did he inherit that from?

Forget it; after all, it’s his own blood.

With a bitter smile, Xiao Yu got up, went to his son’s small bed, lifted him, took him to the restroom for a quick pee, and then returned him to bed, tucking him in securely.

“Now you’ll stay warm,” he assured.

Gazing at his grinning son, Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, “If you get cold again, toughen up!”

Xiao Mu: …

Polite: Fatherly love?

“What kind of look is that?”

Glaring at his son, the shirtless Xiao Yu struck a playful pose, “Learn a thing or two from your old man. A strong body means you’ll never feel cold and you’ll have true manliness.”

This wasn’t mere bragging – his sculpted physique was a perfect display of masculine beauty.

He embodied the peak of male strength among men.

“Without training, what’s the use of manliness?”

Xiao Mu pouted, “You better beat Mom first before you lecture!”

Xiao Yu… silently exasperated.

What does it even mean to be a son?

At one point, he almost wanted to strangle him.

He said, “Dad, does it hurt when Mom hits you?”

He said, “Did you ever ask for my consent when you got married?”

He said, “Mom, didn’t you need glasses when you fell for Dad back then?”

Xiao Yu recalled once asking his son, “If I fell into a river, would you eat the chocolate first or the ice cream?”

The son replied, “…I’ll just watch for a bit!”

There was a side of him that cared deeply.

He said, “Mom’s so hopeless in the kitchen, and Dad not only works all day but still ends up cooking.”

He said, “Mom, you can’t be so strict with Dad, or your old man and I will run away from home!”

He said, “After a long day, isn’t it exhausting? Let me give Dad a head massage!”

Looking at his two-year-old son in bed, Xiao Yu’s eyes softened markedly.

He leaned down and kissed his son’s little face, “Now, sleep tight.”

“Oh.”

Even as his eyes closed, Xiao Yu’s little mouth kept chattering, “Dad might often get on your nerves, but I still love you and Mom so much!”

A warm, fatherly smile spread across Xiao Yu’s face.

Sometimes, that’s all that matters!

Back in bed, Xiao Yu couldn’t stop grinning widely.

“What’s so funny?”

Mu Qingwu wrapped her graceful arm around Xiao Yu’s neck and pulled him close.

“Our son is two years old now!”

Xiao Yu buried his face in his sister’s comforting embrace.

“And then?”

Gently patting her little brother’s back like soothing a child, Mu Qingwu opened her tender eyes, brimming with unspoken affection.

“He’s growing up,” Xiao Yu sighed softly.

“Hmm?”

In an instant, a radiant smile blossomed in Mu Qingwu’s lively eyes.

“If I were to sleep like this with you, would our son laugh at me?”

Xiao Yu, holding Mu Qingwu around the waist, felt a pang of uncertainty inside.

“Indeed?” Mu Qingwu managed to suppress a giggle.

“You know I’ve grown so used to being held by you. What if you ever stop?”

In his sister’s arms, Xiao Yu stuttered, “I’m scared… what should we do?”

“Hahaha!”

Unable to contain herself any longer, Mu Qingwu, holding her little brother in one arm and filming with the other, burst into uncontrollable laughter.

“Hmm?”

Noticing something amiss, Xiao Yu raised his head.

Damn it!

Play around, joke around – but you’re taking pictures when I act spoiled?

Divorce! I must divorce!

After a bout of laughter and playful banter, the little couple yawned and fell asleep in each other’s arms…

Why did I fall in love?

That is a question one ponders over and over in a lifetime.

No one knows the answer; only that…

When he’s there, your heart is at ease.

When she’s not, you’re troubled.

You can’t quite explain it, but it’s undeniably wonderful!
