It was not difficult to sense the hint of joy in Su Chen’s voice. No news could sound more pleasing to his ears than this. “I just got news from the city police station. His criminal evidence is solid. Captain Wang will arrest him by himself, but he has a gun, so I hope he’ll not fight back.”...
“Okay, I got it, thanks,” Mu Yuchen did not give a huge reaction as he replied faintly before hanging up the phone.
Su Chen, who was on the other end of the phone call, could naturally sense that and quickly said, “Wait, don’t hang up first. Why don’t I hear the joy in your words? Qi Feng is finished. Shouldn ‘t you be over the moon?”
“I’m happy about it. Let’s go out for a drink tomorrow night. I’ll wait for you at Imperial Sky. Call Zimo along too.” After issuing the invitation, Mu Yuchen put away his cell phone without waiting for Su Chen to say anything.
“Master, is the warrant for Qi Feng’s arrest out?” Li Si, who was on the side, was able to guess vaguely.
Mu Yuchen nodded while putting the cup in his hand on the side table. “You can leave first if there’s nothing else. I wish to be left alone.”
“But, Master, what about Gu Qiwu? If Qi Weier were to go to him, I’m worried that Miss Lingshi will...The father-daughter relationship between them is still very rigid, and I worry that...” Li Si said hesitantly.
Listening to this, Mu Yuchen’s eyes dimd slightly. “Since Gu Lingsha thought of entrusting Qi Weier to Gu Qiwu, it ans that she was prepared herself ntally before that. I guess Gu Qiwu should know what to do. We’ll see how it goes.”
Seeing that Mu Yuchen was a little disinterested at the mont, Li Si said tactfully, “Yes, Master! I’ll get soone to look into it. I’ll leave first for now.” He left after that.
Unexpectedly, as he walked towards the doorway and raised his head, he saw Xi Xiaye, who was standing by the door. Hust when he was about to greet her, she had already placed her finger on her lips and made a silent gesture.
Li Si nodded and made way for Xi Xiaye silently. She nodded to him in response and stepped into the room. Li Si then tacitly closed the door for the couple.
Xi Xiaye tiptoed carefully behind the man. She took a glance at him and found out that he was resting with his eyes closed while lancholy was apparent from between his brows. When she was about to say sothing, he suddenly stretched out his arms without even lifting his eyelids. His deep and sentintal voice hinted that he would not take no as an answer as he said, “Co here.”
“You knew?” Xi Xiaye raised her gorgeous eyebrows, took two steps forward, and stood beside him. He then reached out his long arm and encircled her slender waist accurately.
“What happened? I heard Li Si say sothing about Qi Feng’s arrest warrant, and also sothing about Gu Qiwu and Ah Shi. Is sothing wrong?” she asked in a soft voice.
“Qi Feng’s arrest warrant has been issued, and Gu Lingsha was also apprehended by the police at the airport just now. Gu Lingsha has entrusted Qi Weier to Gu Qiwu, so Li Si was worried about Lingshi,” Mu Yuchen tightened his arm slightly while he briefly stated the facts.
Having listened to that, Xi Xiaye’s pretty face froze for a split second. Taking a light breath, she reached out, wrapped his shoulders, and leaned forward. “This is good news. However, it doesn’t seem to bring up anything happy.”
“You don’t have to sympathize with them. They had it coming. It was just a matter of ti. Just think about Wang Qin’s incident and many other things, and you may feel more at ease. I was the one who collected all the evidence. Although I’m not a righteous person, he was trying to bring harm, so I couldn’t just ignore it.”
“I know that you’re still dissatisfied with them due to Lingtian’s incident. If it weren’t for them, Lingtian wouldn’t have ended up like that. Hence, that sulky feeling of yours is also one of the reasons why you want to go against Qi Feng. I can understand that. That’s why I supported your decision. You’re so smart, so you shouldn’t be bothered by any obstacles and unhappiness, right?”
“You never opposed any of my decisions. In your eyes, your man is good at everything, isn’t he? Mrs. Mu?” He finally opened his eyes at this mont, and there was a rare gentleness in his eyes when he turned his head and gave her a sidelong glance.
“It’s a little difficult for if you think that you’re perfect in your lover’s eyes. I only thought that since I’m tied to you anyway, my life would be better if yours is too. As for the details, I can’t manage so many other things. However, Mu Yuchen, let ask you. If it were you...”
“I wouldn’t make such stupid mistakes, so there is no such thing as ‘if’.” He had already cut her off without even waiting for her to finish.
“Things that happen are usually closely related to the environnt and can’t be separated from a person’s experience. We should be thankful that Qi Lei hasn’t beco such a person. But this is the end of it. It has been a long-fought battle. Even I feel exhausted at this mont,” Mu Yuchen said in his deep voice. He rarely said such things, and since he said it at this mont, it ant that the matter really did drain a lot from him.
“Okay, not that the turmoil is over, it’ll be more peaceful. Should we go on a trip?”
“Where do I find myself the spare ti? There’ll be tons of work after the beginning of spring. Speaking of which, fancy a job? You can be my secretary for a few days. Since you work extrely swiftly and efficiently, I’ll be able to relax more.”
“Alright, my salary will be settled daily, and in order for to work, it’ll have to be hefty.” She might have rolled her eyes, but at the sa ti pursed her lips and chuckled.
“I won’t have the guts to hire you if the price isn’t high enough.”
“Okay, stop all that nonsense already. Tidy up and let’s get off work. Mother and the others happen to be here too, and they’re cooking our favorite dishes.”
“You get such benefits only when I tag along. How will you thank ?” He reached his arms out to her and she tacitly pulled him out of his chair.
“Then, how do you want to thank you?” she squinted at him and gave off a pregnant gaze with her clear eyes.
“What do you think?” He threw the question right back at her.
With a wide grin, she turned to her side, stood on tiptoe, and then gave him a kiss on his cheek. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his shoulders before crawling onto his back. “I’ll let you carry for a while.”
He subconsciously stretched his arms backward to support a body to prevent her from slipping off. His dim eyes were instantly filled with a trace of amusent. “It’s hard to believe that you’re already the mother of two kids. How can you still act like a little girl? Now, get down!”
“I would like to get off you too, but the problem is, can you let go just a little bit?” She laughed, leaning her head against his. She glanced at him sideways and teased him, “Why? Do you not have the guts to carry downstairs?”
“If I dare, will there be any reward?” He gave her a mischievous glare.
After marrying her, he never had the chance to care about his image anymore, but he was hers anyway.
