Mu Yuchen just stared at Qi Lei quietly for a while before he turned back and returned into the villa quietly.
“I’m going to be 32 soon. I’m starting to understand things better after a year.” He left that sentence in the air as he swiftly went into the villa.
Qi Lei was stunned for a mont as he looked at the empty entrance. He was deep in thought until the cigarette burned his finger. He lowered his head and looked at the hard disk, then he looked at the empty staircase. After so ti, he put on a smile and left.
...
Xi Xiaye finished showering when he got back to the room. She was drying her hair on the living room sofa when a large hand suddenly grabbed the towel from her. He sat down beside her and continued what she was doing monts before.
Caught off-guard, she turned and looked at the man beside her.
She noticed that he had been appearing and vanishing suddenly. He would just pop out from sowhere without a sound.
“Has he gone back?” She gladly accepted the plate of fruits he brought her, casually picking a grape and popping it into her mouth.
“Mmm,” he replied. His hand movents were gentle as he twirled her hair. “Cut your hair shorter tomorrow. Don’t you think it’s difficult to manage it? It’ll be much harder for you to go out in a few months.”
“I don’t want to. If it gets difficult, I’ll get you to wash it for ,” she said straightforwardly, her eyes shining like diamonds. “Otherwise it feels too easy for you. You’re responsible for the child too.”
He stared at her and chuckled. “You’re getting over your head now. Aren’t you the most precious one? You’re Grandmother’s utmost concern at the mont. Take this grape for example. She delivered it by air for you, and they totally forgot about the existence of their grandson. Moreover, I’m helping you out now, so how’s this easy for ?”
“Mr. Mu, I realized that your self-awareness has weakened. The little person in my stomach is your future successor, the hope of the country, and you’re feeling aggrieved while serving ? I don’t rember you having this many opinions before I got pregnant. n sure change easily!” She smiled as she teased him.
He gave up trying to argue with her and just dried her hair quietly.
She pursed her lips when he did not give a reply. Then, she grabbed a sour plum and tried to feed him.
He frowned and moved away. “I don’t want it. You eat it yourself.”
“This isn’t sour! It’s not as sour as the one yesterday. I’m not lying to you this ti!”
He disliked sour stuff and did not have a sweet tooth as well. He preferred lighter food, much like his indifferent personality. However, Xi Xiaye knew that he could be pretty two-faced at tis.
“You’re crying wolf, huh? You’re getting naughtier now. You’ve always been a rule-abiding person,” he spoke with a helpless tone although he was smiling.
“You put up an act most of the ti too, didn’t you? How dare you say that to !? By the way, what did you say to Qi Lei?”
She ate the sour plum as she gave him a glance.
“It’s matters of the past. There’s no point talking about it.” He seed disinterested.
Xi Xiaye could guess what happened. After so hesitation, she decided to not press on this topic anymore. She suddenly put the plate of fruits down and grabbed his waist. “Mr. Mu, did you realize that you’ve beco skinnier as well?”
“Exactly, do you think I really had it easy? This little thing is tornting, it’ll take so ti before we can finally relax for a little,” he pointed at her belly, “It should be around the size of a fist now?”
“Sowhat, I guess. By the way, I just called my parents. Mother will be able to remove the bandages after the last treatnt in a few days. I really hope she can see again.”
Xi Xiaye suddenly thought of Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna, and she sighed. “I wonder how things are going between them. Mother can be quite prideful and cold no matter what. Father... He...”
“I’m slightly more inclined towards Father’s side. I hope that Mother can accept him again. Do you think she can start over with him if she recovers this ti?” She looked at Mu Yuchen anxiously.
“They are responsible for their relationship. We’re only bystanders. They had an unforgettable past, so it’s impossible to erase that. Moreover, there’s you linking them together.”
Mu Yuchen had no idea how to comfort her. She had beco more sensitive after she got pregnant, and started worrying a lot more too.
“Mmm, I always thought that my parents were really cold to . Now that I really think about it, my father loves . It’s just that he cares about my mother more, so he didn’t want to see because I’d remind him of her. Sotis, I really don’t understand their feelings. They care about each other, but why do they need to try so hard to be together?”
Xi Xiaye sighed as she looked at Mu Yuchen who was still drying her hair. “We won’t be like them, will we?”
He stopped what he was doing and scowled. “Can your brain think of sothing else? We’ll stay like this until we grow old.”
Until they grew old?
Xi Xiaye shrugged. “Oh right, is there any news from Sis Lan’s side?”
After she ca back from Sis Lan’s place, Xi Xiaye thought about visiting again, but she was aware the man was keeping an eye on Sis Lan. She thought it might be bad to make a move right now.
As for Mu Lingshi and Ah Mo, they were busy investigating the people Mu Yuchen pointed out, which was a lot of work.
Mu Yuchen’s expression darkened when he heard Xi Xiaye’s question. “She always stays at ho and rarely goes out though she did et Qi Qiming once.”
“She should be pretty close to Qi Qiming. Didn’t she work in Qi Kai for a period of ti before?” Xi Xiaye asked as she knotted her brows.
