“Cough, cough!”
A light cough was finally heard. Almost in an instant, Xi Xiaye rolled off of Mu Yuchen like a frightened cat and Mu Yuchen shot up very quickly too, reaching out to protect her.
“Mother! Father!”
Xi Xiaye subconsciously looked at the door and noticed that at that moment, Zhuang Shurong was standing by the door looking awkward as she remained composed and graceful. In fact, Mu Tangchuan was standing right behind her too!
She had almost screamed out loud in shock. Her beautiful, delicate face was blushing all over as she turned to the man beside her at a loss. However, she noticed that he remained extremely calm and did not even take a glimpse at the door. His first reaction was to swiftly help her fix her clothes.
She then noticed that amidst their affections earlier, the button at her chest had already been undone and her shoulder was also revealed. There was even a faintly discernible black lacy strap peeking out. Meanwhile, his robe was terribly messy and the sash at his waist had loosened, showing off his muscular chest…
In this scene, Xi Xiaye wanted to go crazy and shriek, then bury herself into a crack in the ground. She could not care less about anything else, so she immediately hid behind him.
After Mu Yuchen helped her button her shirt up, he unhurriedly fixed his sash, then turned to the door. Mu Tangchuan had already turned to walk away while Zhuang Shurong just looked away a little awkwardly towards the plant by the side.
“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?”
He inhaled and his voice still had hints of raspiness. He seemed very upset that their moment had been interrupted. After so long, he had finally cultivated this moment of tenderness.
Zhuang Shurong cleared her throat again. Seeing that they had already pulled themselves together, she said, “Earlier, your father knocked for a long time, but we didn’t hear your response. Chen Er, your father’s looking for you. Go to the study room with him. Xiaye, tomorrow’s the first day of the New Year. Your grandmother and I are going to the temple to pray tomorrow morning. Follow us. At the same time, we can pray for a child at the Guanyin Temple.”
Zhuang Shurong had just finished when Mu Tangchuan’s voice rang out. “Forget it. It’s fine to talk about it tomorrow. Xiaye, follow your grandmother and mother tomorrow. We’ll go down first. Your grandmother’s cooked some supper downstairs. If you’re hungry, then come down. Otherwise, you two can continue!”
Before Xiaye could react, he had already dragged Zhuang Shurong out and closed the door.
When she heard the door shut, she looked out from behind him at the door. Upon confirming that it was closed, she then could not help but wail, her hands covering her little face.
Ruined!
Her image was ruined just like that!
What would Zhuang Shurong and Mu Tangchuan think of their daughter-in-law?
How embarrassing!
All because of him!
She angrily put her hands down and glared up at him. However, she noticed that he was looking at her calmly, his deep eyes holding a trace of amusement.
She buried her forehead in her hands. Blushing furiously, she panted and then could not help but pick up a bolster from the side to throw at him. “It’s all because of you! Return me my reputation!”
Mu Yuchen caught the bolster she tossed with one hand and smiled. “They’ll just pretend they didn’t see that. What are you nervous about? We aren’t shy and young students. This is something that everyone knows about.”
“You, of course, don’t think it’s anything. The person that’s embarrassed is me! Why did I do something so embarrassing?”
She was even pushing him down as she complained, and the way it looked…
“Enough. I already said it’s fine. If you still feel uncomfortable, just say that I forced you. Go and take a shower first. I’ll go out to take a look.”
He put the bolster down, patted her head, and softly consoled her. Seeing her little face that was exploding in humiliation, he could not help but reach out to touch her lightly.
She angrily turned her head away and ignored him.
He laughed helplessly before making his way past the sofa. “I’ll prepare the bath for you. Take a bath first. They already saw it no matter how much you fuss about it. Let loose a little more. We aren’t doing anything bad that we should feel guilty about.”
…
After he left the room, Mu Yuchen went straight to Mu Tangchuan’s study room.
They were discussing work-related matters and Mu Tangchuan’s phone kept ringing. One could already guess what had happened. He was currently in a high and important position, so on festive days like this, many people would call and text him with greetings.
Those in the political scene knew how Mu Tangchuan was like. He seemed gentle and cultivated, yet he was an iron fist through and through. He conducted himself honestly and maintained a great reputation in politics. Most of all, he was considered supported with love and respect by the people.
Part of Mu Yuchen’s personality had been inherited from him. He was gentle and profound with a pair of keen eyes that could see through everything.
“I know Glory World is also fighting for the project at the South River. I’ve already discussed this with Mayor Xi. We won’t side with any one of you. The government will make the assessments based on your proposals, plans, and all the other aspects combined. Finally, they’ll choose the best collaborator. I can only urge you to pay attention to Qi Kai Corporation. This company should be Glory World’s strong competitor, and they might go into an alliance with a very strong partner from abroad…”
“Okay, Father, that’s enough. Regarding the South River project, Glory World is determined to win. You don’t need to break your rules for me. I know what to do.”
Before Mu Tangchuan could finish, Mu Yuchen had already interrupted him. He lifted a hand elegantly to serve Mu Tangchuan tea as he said calmly, ” The launch of Glory World’s Imperial Entertainment City will be on the seventh day of the New Year. Will you and Mother be coming over?”
Mu Tangchuan lowered his head to take a sip of tea as he answered, “No, we probably haven’t returned to City Z on the seventh day. There are many places we need to visit in the New Year. Your mother’s quite busy too. She needs to make a trip to City S on the sixth day of the New Year, so she probably won’t be able to rush back by the seventh.”
Mu Yuchen nodded, calmly sipping his tea. Then, he set the cup aside and got up unhurriedly. “Got it. It’s the New Year. Don’t be so busy with these work matters now. Isn’t Grandmother preparing supper downstairs?”
“Mmm, she cooked some light dishes. Go down and have a glass or two. By the time we finish eating, it should be time to count down to the New Year.” Mu Tangchuan got up too.
“I’ve gotten Ah Mo to bring a few bottles of red wine over from Maple Residence. That wine tastes pretty excellent. You can try it. I’ll go and call Xiaye.” Mu Yuchen moved over.
When he heard Mu Yuchen mention Xiaye, Mu Tangchuan recalled the scene from earlier and unexpectedly teased his son, laughing, “Chen Er, your wife is quite like your mother. Your mother… likes it like that too. That position… She doesn’t like to be at the bottom…”
When Mu Tangchuan said this, Mu Yuchen was instantly stunned. He looked a little flabbergasted that his usually composed and stern father would talk about such things with him.
Perhaps, because he noticed Mu Yuchen’s reaction, Mu Tangchuan then smiled. “We’re all men. What’s there to be awkward about? Your parents have been young once too. Didn’t we make it through all these years?
