Chapter 169 - 169 The Daughter of the Mu Family
169 The Daughter of the Mu Family
No wonder Lin Yin felt that Mu Ran had been acting strange recently. It turned out that he liked her.
Lin Yin didn’t know what to feel. After thinking for a moment, she folded the note and placed it in her pocket.
Some things were better explained in person. Lin Yin put away the amulet under the note and turned around to see Mu Xiao staring at her by the door.
“Brother Mu Xiao, I’ve got it.”
!!
Mu Xiao had been silently observing Lin Yin’s reaction. She was neither shy nor happy when she saw the note, but she looked surprised and shocked.
It seemed that his brother had little hope. Mu Xiao was a little discouraged, feeling that Lin Yin probably had no feelings for Mu Ran.
“Little Yin, actually, Little Ran is quite cute.” Mu Xiao did not know how to put in a good word for Mu Ran. “Come with me. I’ll show you something.”
Lin Yin closed the drawer and followed Mu Xiao out of Mu Ran’s bedroom to the study.
“This is a photo of Mu Ran when he was young. Take a look.” Mu Xiao handed a photo album to Lin Yin.
Lin Yin took the photo album and sat on a chair to flip through it.
The photo album looked exquisite, and the photos inside also recorded the entire process of Mu Ran’s life.
The little boy in the photo looked sunny and cute. His exquisite facial features looked no different from the current Mu Ran, except that one was magnified and the other reduced.
“Brother Mu Ran was so cute when he was young,” Lin Yin couldn’t help but say. Her gaze suddenly stopped on a family photo.
In the center of the photo was a woman with exceptionally beautiful facial features. However, her face was a little pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.
She looked to be in her thirties, but she was holding an exquisite doll in her arms. Her eyes were a little unfocused, and she looked lonely and sad. She had a unique sense of fragmentation, she was fragile and poignant.
Behind the woman was a tall man. His arms were wrapped tightly around the woman’s shoulders, as if he was afraid she would leave.
The man should be the father of the Mu brothers. Mu Heng looked the most like him, but less isolated.
In front of the two of them were the three Mu brothers. The taller one should be Mu Heng. Although he looked like he was only in his teens, he clearly looked steady.
Mu Xiao stood beside him, wearing a dark gray suit and looking serious. Only Mu Ran sat at the front with a childlike smile on his face. He was obviously distracted by the car in his hand.
Lin Yin looked at the family photo in front of her. The members of the Mu family had good facial features, and the three brothers had perfectly inherited their parents’ strengths.
However, Lin Yin felt that there was an indescribable sadness in the Mu couple’s eyes. They clearly had three children in front of them, but Lin Yin felt that there was no happiness in the photos.
Mu Xiao noticed that Lin Yin’s gaze was fixed on the family photo. His thoughts were suddenly brought back to the past. He slowly said, “At that time, Little Ran was only five years old. He was the only one who smiled the happiest.”
Lin Yin turned around and looked at Mu Xiao. She realized that his expression was a little lonely and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were a little sad.
“At that time, my mother had just given birth and was still a little weak.”
Hearing Mu Xiao’s words, Lin Yin was a little puzzled. She had never heard of Mu Ran having a brother and sister.
“Does Mu Ran have any younger siblings?”
A bitter smile appeared on Mu Xiao’s lips, and his voice was a little hoarse. “We were supposed to have a sister. She passed away not long after she was born.”
Lin Yin widened her eyes slightly. She suddenly understood the emotions of the Mu couple in the photo. They had just lost their child. How could the two of them feel happy?
Mu Xiao glanced at Lin Yin and said slowly, “If my poor sister is still alive, she should be the same age as you.”
Lin Yin deliberately comforted Mu Xiao. “Brother Mu Xiao, she’ll be happy in the other world too.”
Mu Xiao looked at the girl in front of him and was very touched. He felt that Lin Yin was his sister.
Looking at Lin Yin’s beautiful and exquisite facial features, Mu Xiao looked at his mother in the photo and suddenly felt that Lin Yin’s eyes were a little similar to his mother’s.
“Little Yin, your eyes are very beautiful.”
Lin Yin was suddenly praised and smiled in embarrassment. “Brother Mu Xiao, you’re still praising me. I think you’re the most beautiful person I’ve seen in my life.”
Mu Xiao’s eyes were very gentle. When he heard Lin Yin’s words, he glanced at the full-length mirror in the corner.
Mu Xiao looked at himself in the mirror and then at Lin Yin. He suddenly understood why he felt that Lin Yin looked familiar.
