The tombstones are silent.
"I know that the child you are worried about the most is definitely the child. These days... I have been observing Mu Tianye. I originally planned to help her resolve this marriage, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. The child is better than you. I'm so lucky..."
Not far away, the assistant looked at his boss in the morning light from a distance. He took out his vibrating mobile phone and walked to a distance before answering the call.
After listening to a few words and hanging up the phone, the assistant put away his phone and subconsciously looked around. He noticed the car approaching at the foot of the mountain and narrowed his eyes slightly.
…
…
The black car parked in the parking lot outside the cemetery. The bodyguard came down and opened the door. Mu Tianye and Ning Xiaofei got out of the car separately.
Because they were visiting the cemetery, both of them were dressed in low-key styles. Mu Tianye was wearing a black suit, and Ning Xiaofei was also wearing a black dress, holding in her arms a bouquet of white calla lilies that her mother had loved during her lifetime.
Mu Tianye raised his face and glanced at the hillside of the cemetery, then reached out and took the bouquet from Ning Xiaofei's hand.
"Let's go!"
The two of them walked into the cemetery side by side, followed leisurely by two bodyguards.
When they walked near the steps, Mu Tianye stretched out his palm to support the crook of Ning Xiaofei's right elbow. It had been raining recently, and there were still wet puddles on many of the stone steps. He was afraid that she would slip and fall.
The two of them climbed up the low steps, bypassing a patch of decorated green cypresses, and were not far from Ning Zilin's cemetery.
As soon as she raised her face, she saw the man in black standing not far away. Ning Xiaofei raised her eyebrows slightly and moved her eyes to her mother's grave. She immediately caught the man squatting in front of the tombstone.
She raised her eyebrows and quickened her pace slightly.
Of course Mu Tianye also saw Ning Zhiqiu at this time, but there was not much surprise in his eyes.
Seeing the two walking away, the assistant took a step back to make way for them, and nodded to them politely.
"Hello, miss!"
Three words, neither high nor low, but enough for Ning Zhiqiu to know.
In front of the tombstone, Ning Zhiqiu glanced sideways in Ning Xiaofei's direction, then stood up.
"Today is her birthday, I came to see her."
In the past, Ning Xiaofei would have walked over to him unceremoniously, thrown his flowers aside, and would have spoken harshly to him. But this time, she just nodded lightly.
Ask someone to be soft-spoken.
No matter what, she owed Ning Zhiqiu a favor.
Mu Tianye handed her the bouquet, and Ning Xiaofei stepped forward and carefully placed the bouquet on the side of her mother's tombstone. Although she was very deliberate, she and Ning Zhiqiu still unconsciously brought two bouquets of flowers. When you come to one place, the flowers are all the same, and they naturally connect together.
Ning Xiaofei looked at the flowers in front of the tombstone, and suddenly her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry - thinking about it, she actually took the initiative to ask for Ning Zhiqiu, she was really sorry for her mother.
"I want to have a few words with my mother alone!"
Catching the cry in her tone, Ning Zhiqiu frowned.
"If you don't like it, you can throw away my flowers, or you can treat me like before. You don't have to wrong yourself like this. You don't owe me anything, I owe you."
Ning Xiaofei took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.
"I want to talk to my mom!"
"Well, I won't disturb you."
Ning Zhiqiu nodded and turned towards the path.
When passing by Mu Tianye, the two men looked at each other. Ning Zhiqiu wanted to say something, but paused in his steps. In the end, he still walked past him in silence.
…
…
Good night.
