In order to find out the answer she wanted, Xi Xiaye put on a warm smile as she sounded like she was having a great ti.
“Mmm, I’ll wait for you. At least, you won’t be as tired when you co back. Your parents are going to help too. We’re all family, and you should know that better than . Moreover, it’s during tis like these that the family is going to get stronger together. I definitely prefer having a group to back up rather than having to fight alone. Mr. Mu, your way of thinking is falling behind.”
Mu Yuchen’s grin grew wider. This little girl was starting to be more and more thorough about many things. He was not sure if he should be happy or to start reflecting on himself.
He had no choice but to admit that her words made sense.
As he was about to say sothing, she suddenly started lecturing him again, “I rember soti after we got married, you told after a banquet that in high-class societies, people help one another because they understand working together brings in wealth. The middle-class compare themselves to each other and be jealous of one another...These don’t just apply to businesses. It’s the sa for life in general. I respect you because you understand, and I hope we can be a better person emotionally...”
Mu Yuchen could not really rember what she said afterward.
He felt that the little woman he had been trying his best to protect had grown up. Her ntal capacity was beginning to get closer to his.
He felt joyous and comforted that his wife was going to beco his best friend, his soul mate...
To him, there was nothing more joyous than this.
“It’s your turn to lecture now, huh?” He sighed.
“What’s wrong with that? You gave plenty of lectures and always made reflect on my behavior, so it’s only normal for to give you a nudge when you’re doing sothing wrong. Now, do you understand how I feel?” she huffed with a grumpy expression.
“Do I lecture you? I don’t rember it at all. I’m done for if you’re not happy with , am I not?” Mu Yuchen smiled.
“You sound like an old man when you get serious. You remind of the discipline teacher in high school. How despicable! Don’t you dare put on a frown when you’re trying to lecture in the future.”
“Do you expect people to smile and laugh when they are lecturing you?”
“Can’t you be more human?” She did not seem satisfied. “You’re so gentle towards your parents. You marry a wife to love and care for her anyway, or are you hinting that you don’t like anymore?”
“Don’t I love you enough?” Mu Yuchen had no idea this woman could be so troubleso once she started sulking.
“Of course, when I was there, you didn’t play ‘mature woman with young, fresh at’ with ! We used to...” Xi Xiaye blurted out. She realized what she just said and quickly shut up, but it was too late to take the words back now. Her face turned red instantly and her blushing cheeks were cute in their own way. Unfortunately, Mr. Mu could not see her right now.
Mu Yuchen was drinking tea as he spoke to her on the phone. He suddenly started coughing and nearly spit out the tea.
“Cough, cough!”
Mu Yuchen’s face turned red after so intense coughing, and it took him a while to calm down. “Mature woman and young, fresh at? Are you the mature woman? I don’t think I can be called young, fresh at now, can I?”
“You can play with whatever you want when I get back.”
“Well, I don’t an that. I just...I’ve told Uncle Lan about what happened. He’ll do his best to search and I’ll let you know if we find anything. Also, Ah Mo seems to be in City B as well...”
Mu Yuchen’s expression darkened when Ah Mo’s na was ntioned. “I was just about to tell you that Ah Mo’s missing too. Li Si is looking into it. Don’t tell Lingshi first. Her condition is unstable, so spend so ti with her if you can.”
“What did you say? Ah Mo’s missing?” Xi Xiaye was shocked.
“Mmm, I wanted to ask Ah Mo to investigate Qi Lei’s disappearance, but I couldn’t reach him at all. It’s the exact sa situation as Qi Lei.” Mu Yuchen’s tone beca heavy.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Mu. It’ll be fine. Get people to work on it right away. Call Father and tell him to help as well. I’m sure he can contribute,” Xi Xiaye said.
He glanced at the clock and realized that it was nearly midnight in City Z. “Mmm, I’m still waiting for Li Si’s report. Anyway, it’s late on your side now. Go to sleep. You still have work tomorrow. I’ll be back in two days.”
Xi Xiaye nodded. “Okay, co ho soon. We’re waiting for you.”
“Goodnight.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Mu...”
Mu Yuchen held his phone tightly after he hung up. His expression lightened slightly as he looked at the darkened phone screen.
‘As long as you are here...’
Her words instantly cheered him up.
After a long ti, he put his phone down and leaned back on the chair again, his composure much more relaxed compared to before.
Li Si knocked on the door soti later.
Just as Mu Yuchen expected, Li Si ca in with an anxious expression and walked toward him.
“Master, I just checked. Ah Mo booked the sa flight, but he didn’t board either. Here’s Ah Mo’s schedule for the past few days. Take a look.”
