In the second year when Xia Muxi went to France, her mother passed away due to a sudden illness.

The funeral was very simple, and only relatives were invited to mourn.

After the funeral, Natsumi returned to France.

Less than a year after his mother passed away, Xia Muxi's father married another woman, who had divorced and had a daughter.

At her father's wedding, Xia Muxi did not show up. She could not bear the betrayal of her father to her mother in less than a year, and even more unable to bear the fact that her father lived with other women, as well as the child who claimed to be her sister.

She could not face these people calmly, and she could not force herself to accept all this.

From that time on, Xia Muxi rejected the living expenses her father would send on time every month. She learned to work and make money by herself and learn to keep herself away from the princess's life.

If that home is OK, she hopes she will never go back.

In this way, time passes by little by little, and it is so long that many people can forget some things and some people.

Now, in everyone's eyes, there is only one princess in the Xia family, and the family of three is living a very happy life.

And Xia Muxi's existence is gradually forgotten from people's minds.

Those memories that were once unforgettable gradually became fragmented and could no longer be repaired.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, a letter appeared in Xia Muxi's email address.

Dear Muxi:

Have you been doing well recently? Dad misses you very much.

In a few days, it will be my birthday. I hope you can go home to celebrate your father’s birthday. Do you know that when you are away, your father learned to cook, and it is all your favorite food. Can you give him a chance? You will definitely not disappoint!

Looking forward to the baby going home.

When Xia Muxi returned to the dormitory, she felt a little empty when she saw the email. She couldn't remember how long she hadn't been home.

Although life in France is sometimes very hard, it is very fulfilling. When she is busy, she will temporarily forget the sad things she has.

What's more, she has grown up and is no longer the child she used to be.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, my father is already forty years old. Do you want to go back?

After hesitating for a long time, I made up my mind to book a round-trip air ticket to return to China.

The Xia family gathered well-known people from all walks of life.

Xia Zhengxian, the local mayor, the number one leader in politics.

His wife has passed away for five years. Her current wife was once a popular model in the entertainment industry. Because she married him, she gave up her career and chose to stay at home to take care of her husband and children.

Their daughter, Xia Xi, naturally became the princess who was favored by this city.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten the true identity of this child, as if it had been agreed. In their eyes, the Xia family only had this daughter named Xia Xi.

When Natsuki returned home, the banquet had already begun.

She was wearing very ordinary clothes, a white cotton-spun skirt with long black hair spread out, and a pair of cheap white leather shoes on her feet.

In fact, this is the only skirt she can do.

Xia Muxi thought, after all, so many years have passed, and if my father still dressed up as casually as in France, he would definitely not get used to it after seeing it. So he changed into the only skirt in the closet.

This dress cost her a week.

Like her mother, Natsuki likes white very much.

Despite this, Natsuki still guessed that such a woman would be so incompatible with this luxurious and grand banquet.

However, she ignored the strange eyes of outsiders. After finally coming back, in addition to celebrating her father's birthday, she also wanted to worship her mother.

Apart from that, there was nothing worthy of her concern.

"Mu Xi!" Xia Zhengxian was excited to see her daughter coming back and hugged her!

"Happy birthday, dad." Xia Muxi's voice was very calm, unlike her father.

"Dad knows, you will definitely come back!" Xia Zhengxian let go of his hand holding his daughter, his eyes were already red. His baby has grown up and become more beautiful, but he is really too thin, so thin that it makes him feel distressed.

Xia Muxi glanced at the woman who had been standing beside her father and didn't say anything.

She walked straight to her mother's room.

After Xia Muxi's mother left, the bedroom was empty, and the interior was the same as before, with the same decorations and familiar atmosphere.

The only difference is that there is an extra portrait of my mother in the room.

Xia Muxi walked to the portrait and reached out to touch the mother's face in the photo.

She didn't cry, she just watched quietly.

She didn't talk to her mother, and stayed alone in the room for an hour.

After coming out of the room, in the living room, the woman and her children happily pushed out the huge birthday cake, singing birthday songs in her mouth.

A smile on my father's face deeply hurts Xia Muxi's heart.

What a happy family!

"Happy birthday, Zhengxian!"

"Happy birthday, dad!"

The mother and daughter kissed Xia Zhengxian on the cheek together!

There was warm applause from the scene! The banquet also reached a climax!

Xia Muxi really didn't want to stay for a moment. She planned to go downstairs, say goodbye to her father and leave.

"Mu Xi." Xia Zhengxian saw her first.

"Dad, I..."

"I have always forgotten to introduce to you that this is your mother, and this little girl beside me is your sister, named Xia Xi." Xia Muxi was interrupted by her father's words before she could speak.

"Muxi, I'm glad to see you." The gorgeously dressed woman called Muxi's name.

"Sister, I am Xiaxi, Xishuixi, I am very happy to see you. I heard from my dad that we are only a few months apart, and our names are homophonic, so I am really destined to be."

"··Hmm." Xia Muxi didn't know how to react, so she could only stand there stiffly. Mother? From beginning to end, there was only one mother. Father, you have really changed.

"Xixi!" At this time, a man's voice came, and Xia Muxi and Xiaxi looked over. Even if there was a word in the name, it would cause trouble.

"Brother Xiao!" Xia Xi happily threw herself into the man's arms.

Gong Yuanxiao and Xia Muxi remembered him. Because the elders of the two families had a good relationship, they had been with him for a while when they were young. However, when she was ten years old, Gong Yuanxiao went to the United States, and later she also went to France, and the two no longer had contact.

When did he come back? When did he and Xia Xi get so good?

"Xiaoxi, are you doing well?" Gong Yuanxiao touched Xiaxi's head docilely and smiled happily.

"Um!"

"Is that so good?" Gong Yuanxiao looked at Xia Zhengxian, "Uncle, happy birthday~ Aunt, you are still so beautiful." His eyes stopped on Xia Muxi for a moment, and soon moved away again.

Xia Muxi originally wanted to say hello to him, but it seemed that he didn't remember her anymore, so he gave up. There was nothing in his heart.

"Xiao, why don't you tell your aunt when you come back?" Yuqin, Xia Zhengxian's second wife, Xia Xi's mother. She likes the boy in front of her very much, and also intends to match up with the beautiful things of Gong Yuanxiao and Xia Xi.

"I want to give you a surprise. Moreover, I miss Xiaoxi very much, so I ran back secretly. So, aunt, you must not sell me to my parents."

"This kid~" Yuqin smiled, then looked at Xia Xi, "Xiao Xi, are you happy when Brother Xiao said this?"

"Well, Xiaoxi likes Brother Xiao the most!"

Seeing all this, Xia Muxi felt more and more that there was no place for her to stay here.

Xia Zhengxian walked to Xia Muxi and said something in her ear.

After hearing this, Xia Muxi walked towards the piano, and the bitter smile on the corner of her mouth would never have seen her father.

Dad, since this is the gift you want, then after I finish playing this song, I can leave without regrets.

"Fantasy Song" is a work by German composer Schumann. When Xia Muxi was six years old, his mother taught her to play the song. This song carries the beautiful dreams of childhood, warm, profound and sweet.

The beautiful melody is flying in every corner, and people seem to have returned to that beautiful childhood and the happiest time in the old days.

Xia Zhengxian looked at the child not far away and couldn't help but cry.

This song was the first piano piece her mother taught her.

Muxi was very smart when she was a child. She not only liked taking photos, but also liked piano. Now, her appearance of playing the piano seemed to allow him to see Muxi when she was a child, happy, happy, and worry-free.

"Uncle, who is she?" Gong Yuanxiao's eyes kept on the girl playing the piano, feeling familiar. He had heard this song when he was a child, and the child had played it for him.

"Don't you remember? She is Muxi. When you were young, I remember she played this song "Fantasy Song" for you."

"Xiao Xi?! Are you saying that she is Xiao Xi?"

"What's wrong, is there any problem?"

"No, no." Gong Yuanxiao let go of the hand holding Xia Xi, her eyes locked deeply on the child.

How could he make a mistake? It's so damn!

Xia Xi was a little disappointed because of Gong Yuanxiao's actions. He wanted to hold Gong Yuanxiao's arm again, but he still cleverly avoided it.

The last note fell perfectly, and the living room quietly came to the living room. After a long time, there was warm applause again!

Xia Muxi bowed politely to everyone, then smiled at his father not far away, turned around and ran out! There was no time for Xia Zhengxian to react!

Dad, I'm leaving. This place no longer belongs to me. I'm very happy to see you. I think my mother will be happy for you in heaven. From now on, leave your love for your mother alone to protect it.

"Mu Xi!" Xia Zhengxian chased after him, but the figure had long disappeared.

Behind a big tree beside him, a slender hand covered Xia Muxi's mouth and protected her tightly in his arms!

Why is the real princess who escaped?

But, great, you're finally back.
Chapter completed!
