As she said this, she turned to look at the man beside her, her eyes gleaming with the light of diamonds.
As Mu Yuchen listened, he slowed the car down then responded, “Ah Mo has liked Lingshi ever since we were young, my family’s not some trite family either. If they can get together, everyone would agree. Grandfather and Grandmother even planned to renovate a place for them in the Jinglan Villa area. After Lingshi graduates from university, they’d let them get married.”
When he said this, Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened.
“Could it because of Ah Shi’s scar? How did she…?”
“It was the same scar from the car accident with Lingtian. Apart from the scar on her face, she suffered terrible burns on her back. Even with surgery, there’s no way of making it recover to how it originally was,” he answered, then suddenly reached out to hold her hand that was on her thigh. The slightly cold temperature of her skin was transferred through his palms too. “Ah Mo said he doesn’t mind, but Lingshi doesn’t have the courage to face it.”
To a girl like Mu Lingshi, it would be hard to accept. She must have been a very proud girl, yet unexpectedly…
Xi Xiaye sighed as she looked down at her hand that he held and thought about it. Then, she lifted her other idle hand to hold his. “Don’t think too much about it. They’ll recover once she lets go.”
“Mmm, just arrange things for her for the day after tomorrow. I have to make a trip to New York with Zimo tomorrow and I might only be back after a week or so. I’ve already told Vice President Liu and the rest to handle matters at the office. I’ll rush back in time before the big meeting.”
“Why so sudden? Was it the document that Ah Mo handed you earlier?” Xi Xiaye asked in confusion.
He nodded. “Zimo’s branch over there met some issues which are quite tricky, so I’ll accompany him for the trip and at the same time, take a look at the branch.”
…
When they returned to Maple Residence, it was already late at night. After the husband and wife took turns to shower, Xi Xiaye started to pack the documents for him while he sat before the desk and continued the work he had yet to finish that afternoon.
She kept all the documents into a black briefcase, and set it aside on the table. She watched his busy figure and her vaguely raspy voice said, “Rest earlier. Didn’t you say that it’s an 8 a.m. flight tomorrow?”
Mu Yuchen’s long fingers typed a long row of formula very quickly on the keyboard, then with a ‘ding’, the data was automatically generated. After he saved it, he shut the computer down and turned his head, his distant eyes calmly resting on her face. He did not say anything for a long time.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” She felt shy under his intense stare and then she subconsciously touched her face, thinking that there was some dirt on it.
When he saw this, he suddenly roared with laughter and there were fireworks in his eyes. He slowly got up and walked over to look down at her.
The difference in height forced her to peer up before she could meet his eyes. Seeing that his dark eyes were fluctuating like burning fireworks, she immediately felt stifled and her heart beat faster. She subconsciously took a step back, and her back met the shelf that was filled with books. As she lowered her head to avert her gaze, she blushed and whispered softly, “Don’t look at me like that…”
When he heard this, a faint smile flashed across his face. He leaned a hand against the shelf and asked, “How should I look at you then?”
“I… Mmm!”
Before she could say anything, he had already lowered his head and gone in for a kiss. “I haven’t been around for so long. Satisfy me tonight, would you?”
He buried his face in her delicate collarbones as he spoke softly. His gravelly voice was magnetic and incredibly sexy.
“Didn’t we just… Mmm… The day before yesterday… Didn’t we just…?”
With the way he teased her, she could not hold back too, but…
“That was you who was satisfied. It doesn’t mean that I… If I don’t work harder, there wouldn’t be any news from you…”
Then, without caring if she understood what he meant, he suddenly lifted her up by the waist, eliciting a cry of surprise from her. Then, he subconsciously put her arms around his shoulders.
…
There was a huge storm inside the bedroom.
After two rounds of battling, she weakly lifted a hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead. Her starry eyes were still in a daze as she looked at him quietly for a long time. Then, she suddenly asked softly, “Mr. Mu, do you think that we’re trying to love each other right now?”
He inhaled slightly, the fireworks in his eyes flickering. He hugged her tightly and said tenderly, “What do you think?”
She shook her head. There was a glint of twinkling light in her eyes akin to little diamonds while she looked seriously at him. “I don’t know… I just feel that ever since I got married to you, I’ve been very happy, but sometimes when I think about it, it feels like I’m dreaming. I’m worried that once I wake up from my dream, all of this would be fake…”
“Worrying about your personal gains and losses? Are you worried that I’ll run off?” He grinned. “Actually there’s a good way to get rid of all your worries. Do you want to know what it is?”
“What is it?” Her eyes flashed as she fixed them on him.
“Be the mother of my child. Tie me down with a child!” He growled and then fell onto her again.
After he sank into his vices, she fell into a deep sleep while he was oddly awake. He turned to look at her asleep with her messy hair. His arm that was around her waist suddenly tightened as he pulled her towards his chest and sighed softly, “All of this is real. You will always be my Missus…”
If she wanted it, at this point, he did not mind giving all his love to her even though he was not sure whether he even had it in him or not.
The next day, when Xi Xiaye woke up, the space beside her was already empty. Even the temperature of the bedsheets was cold. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and looked at the time. It was almost 10 a.m.
After she got up and washed up, she went downstairs to look for some food and saw that a spread of Western breakfast had been prepared on the dining table, accompanied by a note he left.
Remember to take your medicine after breakfast. Take care of yourself. — Chen
She was obviously familiar with that bold and cursive handwriting of his. With a deep breath, she then quietly put it away.
It was rare that she had idle time, so she planned to rest at home. Unexpectedly, the Shen residence called to say that Shen Yue was back from work abroad. After some thought, she decided to pack up and return to the Shen residence for a bit.
However, when she left Maple Residence, she did not forget to bring Mu Lingshi’s driving license along. She probably had to make a trip to the Mu residence in the afternoon. Although Mu Lingshi was staying at home for now, Mu Yuchen had asked her last night whether she wanted to stay in the same villa area as Ah Mo.
