Xi Xiaye walked towards the drawer and got him the car keys. “Put on another layer of clothes. It’s cold outside.” She also grabbed his coat on the sofa and passed it to him.
He nodded and slung the coat over his shoulder before heading outside. Qi Lei and Su Chen bade their farewells and followed him.
It was already late at night, so the whole Grand Waves Villa area was quiet amidst the chilly weather.
Mu Yuchen sent Qi Lei to the entrance of the Grand Lake Villa area before sending Su Chen back to his condominium.
On the way back, Su Chen asked Mu Yuchen, “So, you really trust Qi Lei now, huh? But now that I look at him, he seems pretty genuine. What did you do? How did he change so much?”
“He’s a smart guy, and I believe in his decision-making skills. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits.”
Mu Yuchen understood Qi Lei’s situation very well, hence he trusted his own decision. His appearance today confird his thoughts.
“You’re pretty confident, but you’ll never know what he’s really thinking. As your friend, I have to remind you that Qi Lei looks like he’s got sothing to hide. Be careful and take precautionary asures.” Su Chen gave Mu Yuchen a reminder as he looked at him pointedly.
“I got it. It’s ti for you to go. Xiaye is still waiting for at ho. I’ll get soone to drive your car over tomorrow.”
“Let’s gather again when Zimo gets back. It’s been several months since we’ve had a drink together. You’re almost becoming a shut-in. It’s not healthy to always stay with your wife. How can a man survive without any entertainnt?” Su Chen glanced at Mu Yuchen and patted his shoulder. “Don’t dote on her too much and beco her slave!”
Mu Yuchen threw him a cold stare and he quickly shut up, disembarking from the car quietly.
Wang Hui was already asleep by the ti he got back to Maple Residence while Xi Xiaye was going through so docunts in the study room after a shower.
Xi Xiaye sorted the docunts based on priorities. When she was done and had gone into the bedroom, Mu Yuchen ca out of the bathroom wearing a blue sleeping robe.
Xi Xiaye went over and tied the sash of his robe for him as she asked, “What were you guys talking about? That was a long chat. It’s already half past ten.”
He ran his fingers through her hair and put his arm over her shoulder. “Nothing much, just so stuff that happened recently.
“Gu Lingsha?” She looked at him, her fingers interlocking with his while she slid her other arm around his waist.
He looked downwards and touched her baby bump. “Who else could it be except them? Su Nan is fine now. You can relax and rest at ho. Take a look at yourself in the mirror.”
Xi Xiaye saw herself in the mirror. She looked exhausted and had so dark circles around her eyes although it was better now compared to several days earlier.
“A lot has happened. I’m just a little tired from worrying about Su Nan.”
“Go to bed earlier. Don’t stay up so late at night again. Go to sleep before 10.30 pm.”
“Mmm, the little thing has fallen asleep as well. It was acting up just now and Grandmother sang so songs. She said it must be a boy.”
“A girl, one who listens to .”
Lately, their conversations had been revolving around their child. Master Mu could never understand why new parents always talked about their children, but now he finally understood it himself.
The next day, Xi Xiaye woke up as a result of so noise. Although the man was nowhere to be seen, as usual, he had prepared so clothes for her to change into. When she got downstairs after washing up, Mu Yinan was there reading the newspaper and enjoying so tea on the sofa.
Sis Wang was quick to notice Xi Xiaye. “Good morning, Missus!”
Xi Xiaye nodded in response. “Good morning!”
Mu Yinan looked over when he heard their voices. He spoke gently, “You’re awake.”
“Good morning, Grandfather! Where’s Grandmother and Mu Yuchen?”
“Missus, Master went to work, and he specifically told you to stay at ho and rest. He’ll take care of the handover work and will call you if there’s anything he needs. The flowers in the backyard have blood, so Elder Madam is there right now.”
“Have so breakfast, Sis Wang. Get Elder Madam back here for breakfast.” Mu Yinan’s expression was not as strained as Xi Xiaye imagined. Instead, he looked slightly helpless, and it seed like the conflict yesterday ended with his defeat.
Breakfast was soon served. It was a nutritious Eastern breakfast.
Wang Hui sat down beside Xi Xiaye and opposite Mu Yinan. She was definitely giving him a hard ti.
After Mu Yinan gulped down half a bowl of porridge, he quietly uttered, “Well, I fed the parrot... I didn’t pluck out your flowers. I even watered them. I also... didn’t go to the ***... I really didn’t. I stayed at ho all night. You can ask Tangchuan if you don’t believe . We played so chess and only went to sleep at around midnight!” Mu Yinan explained himself as he looked at his wife.
Wang Hui ignored him outright. She scooped another half bowl of porridge for Xi Xiaye and smiled. “Here, have a little more. I know you don’t like greasy food, so we made this.”
Her kind attitude to Xi Xiaye was a huge contrast to how she usually treated Mu Yinan. He started to frown.
“Grandfather, Grandmother, that’s enough now. Mu Yuchen said Ah Mo and Lingshi will be going back ho as they will be leaving for France tonight. They might only be back after several months, let Chauffeur Wang send you two back ho after breakfast.”
Xi Xiaye rembered what her man said last night.
“What? Ah Mo and Lingshi are going to France? Didn’t Ah Chen just return from there?”
The two of them were stunned.
“There are still so things that need to be handled there. It’s also an opportunity for them to travel around.” Xi Xiaye smiled.
