The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 1371 - Dead End 6

Chapter 1371 Dead End 6

Xi Xiaye just leaned against the car window as she propped her head up. Her starry eyes stole glances at him from time to time.
He did not say anything. He just opened the car window slightly, and let the cold humid breeze pour in from outside. The blush on his handsome face then faded away slightly. When he noticed her looking at him, he responded with an unhappy glance.
When Xi Xiaye saw his uncomfortable expression, she lifted her hand to cover her mouth though she did not turn away and just silently watched him.
He seemed a little less calmer now. When did his woman’s gaze become so domineering? He felt slightly at a loss as to what to do.
“What are you laughing about?” he said softly as he looked away for a moment, then turned back silently to the road ahead.
Xi Xiaye lifted a hand to play with her long hair by her chest while her calm voice contained a smile. “I’m laughing at you. I really hope that in 10 or 20 years, or even 30 or 40 years, or longer, Mr. Mu, you will always be like this.”
“Aren’t you being silly now? I’m going to be 33 years old soon. I won’t be young anymore. I’ll only get older and older. Who knows? I might turn into a sloppy old man with a mustache shaped like the Chinese character ‘eight’ 八…”
When he tried to think of the future, a smile could not help but show on his face as he squinted at her.
“If you really do become a sloppy old man, then I’ll divorce you. I like being clean.”
“Didn’t you toss the books around the last time you used the study room? Do you really like cleanliness? I think even if you said this to deceive our sons, they wouldn’t believe you.” Mu Yuchen had no mercy with the banter.
“I can’t beat you when it comes to words.”
“You’re just left speechless. Someone like you can never be a debater. That’s why you’re easily taken advantage of.”
“I haven’t been taken advantage of much lately…”
“Just lucky, hmm?”
…
The husband and wife continued with the banter. When the car drove into the Grand Waves Villa area, it was already 1.am., but the rain continued. The couple had a bath and then got into bed to rest, but before they slept, Mr. Mu did not forget Xi Xiaye’s teasing in the car, so, you know…
After two rounds of lusty fights, the temperature in the bedroom cooled down. Panting, Xi Xiaye turned to look at the man lying leisurely with his arm for a pillow. When she thought about the information they received that night, she hesitated before switching on the light by her bedside and bringing over the folder from the side. She opened it and took the documents out.
When Mu Yuchen saw what she was doing, he pulled up the blanket and leaned over too.
“I suddenly don’t feel very sleepy. Let’s take a look at the documents inside,” she said as she flipped open the document and began to read it thoroughly.
“It’s almost the same as what Father managed to get. It’s just that the evidence is more substantial. By handing these things to the police station, they can apply for a warrant to arrest Doris.” He held her by the shoulders and took over the document in her hands.
Nodding, Xi Xiaye turned to look at him from the side, then said softly, “I can’t believe that this thing kept going round and round, and in the end, it’s still on this track. This time, we’ve come to a successful conclusion: Doris is done for. Perhaps, on Ah Shi’s end, she can relax a little, but right now Doris still hasn’t be found, and I’m worried if she’ll escape.”
“Leave that to Su Chen and Father. If we don’t use their help, we’ll find it very hard to handle all this. When this settles down, I’ll still have to meet Gu Qiwu.” He did not forget what Mu Tangchuan had said when he came over late at night.
Xi Xiaye looked at him, puzzled. She remembered that when Li Si came over to speak to him, he had rejected the idea outright.
“It’s Father’s idea. He wants me to arrange for Grandfather and Gu Qiwu to meet,” Mu Yuchen explained.
However, when he finished, Xi Xiaye frowned immediately. “We can’t do that! Grandfather’s got poor health as it is. Did you forget what happened to Grandmother? If it weren’t for the fact that she found out about the matter with Gu Qiwu, Grandmother wouldn’t have left us so suddenly. What’s the use of meeting someone like that? He can’t make it up to Ah Shi no matter what. He can’t make it up to Grandfather or even the entire Mu family. He doesn’t deserve forgiveness! Mr. Mu, Grandfather…”
“Don’t worry. Since it was Grandfather who brought up the request himself, that means that he’s prepared. In fact, Grandfather is a very determined person, so it will be fine. Perhaps, there was a need for them to talk it out,” Mu Yuchen consoled.
After Wang Hui’s incident and with the whole Gu Qiwu matter, the family seemed to be frightened easily due to past experiences. Even he was the same. Right now though, it was Mu Yinan who had brought it up, so that made him feel relieved.
As she listened to him, Xi Xiaye gathered her feelings. “Alright, don’t worry about that, but don’t let Gu Qiwu hurt Grandfather.”
“Mmm, alright, sleep now. It’s turning to light soon.”
“Okay,” she responded, then quickly kept the document away.
They were busy till the wee hours of the morning. After that, the husband and wife fell asleep quite quickly, feeling all worn out.
…
Compared to the relaxed pace on Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye’s end, it was a sleepless night for someone else.
In a secluded bungalow within the old suburbs of City Z, the sky on the east had already revealed a faint white, and you could hear the winds and rains oscillating. It was daybreak again.
Doris wore an elegant long purple dress with a white fox fur coat. She was dressed as usual, but what was different was an additional layer of paleness on her exquisite face. Her blue eyes revealed all her dark circles, and she looked dazed, wan, and sallow as well.
Being trapped here with no escape filled Doris’s heart with anger and resentment.
She did not expect Mu Yuchen to be so quick. He saw through her crafty escape plan so swiftly. “I’m afraid they’ve probably gotten a warrant for my arrest by now.”
Glenn had just gotten up to go to the washroom when he heard movements in the living room, so he went over to look, and indeed, Doris was up and restless. “Miss, it’s still dark out. Sleep for a while more. You haven’t been sleeping well these past few days. Don’t worry. They won’t find this place, so we’re still safe for now.”
When she heard sounds from behind her, Doris averted her gaze from out the window and turned to see Glenn walking towards her.
“You’re quite early too,” she responded softly, her tone sounding a little defeated and helpless.
“I’m afraid you haven’t rested the entire night, have you?” Glenn walked over to the coffee table and poured two cups of hot water.
