Although Ah Mo did not actually need to tell Mu Yuchen about how Mu Lings.h.i.+ had met Gu Qiwu tonight, the man already knew.

Inside the study room, Mu Yuchen answered the call as he slid a book out from the shelf. The call was from the management of Entertainment City.

Recently, Gu Qiwu had been turning up at Imperial Sky Entertainment City quite frequently, and the management noticed his presence, hence shortly after Gu Qiwu and Mu Lings.h.i.+ met up, the news reached management, and naturally, Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen’s gaze was slightly dismal at that moment. He thought about it, then responded, “Got it.”

He then tossed his phone onto the table beside him as his expression did not change much. Calmly, he flipped open the book and silently browsed through it. A cool wind came from the window sill, making the curtains sway. The entire study room seemed even quieter though once in a while, you could hear the sound of pages being turned.

When Xi Xiaye brought a gla.s.s of milk into the study room, she saw him sitting on the stool underneath the bookshelf, appearing so focused that he did not even realize when she came to his side. After he noticed her faint fragrance, he suddenly glanced up to look, then he noticed that she was standing by his side with a steaming gla.s.s of milk.

“What book are you reading? You look so entranced,” she asked quietly as she reached out to exchange the book in his hand with the milk. Her tone did not allow any room for refusal. “Rest earlier tonight and finish the milk!”

His profound eyes stared at her. After a while, he brought the gla.s.s to his lips.

Xi Xiaye scanned the book. It was about Western culture and geography. Knitting her brows together, she put a bookmark in the book before putting it back onto the shelf. Then, she sat down on the lounge chair and looked up at Mu Yuchen who was silently finis.h.i.+ng the milk. She thought about it and said, “Tomorrow afternoon, Xiao Rui will be done with his exams. Do you want to pick him up or should I do it?”

Mu Yuchen finished the milk in a few gulps and took a tissue to wipe his mouth. “Tomorrow…

Obviously, he remembered these things. A few days ago when he joined Mu Zirui’s parent-teacher meeting, the teacher had mentioned it.

“Mmm, he called me yesterday, asking me to tell you that you must remember to teach him how to ride a horse and swim,” Xi Xiaye said softly.

“Come to the office tomorrow afternoon and we’ll go together. My schedule isn’t very tight tomorrow,” he said, setting the gla.s.s aside.

Upon hearing that, she nodded silently. “Okay. Right, I have to go to Fuhua for work tomorrow. Uncle Lan’s barely handling everything although Grandpa’s been helping out too. We have quite a lot to work on recently. Father and Mother’s school will be on holiday in a few more days, so it would be good to plan for them to go around and travel. Oh, help me arrange the flight tickets and all the other necessary things!”

When he heard that, he only frowned at her. His gaze scanned her from her forehead all the way down and stopped at her bandaged hands. “Have your hands recovered?”

Upon seeing that, Xi Xiaye lifted her hands slowly to take a look and gently clench them. She said calmly, “They are fine. They’ve almost fully recovered. See, I can move them easily.”

“Up to you then. Look at how you’re barely relaxing at home. I’ll arrange things for Mother and Father. Since Xiao Rui is also on holiday, it’ll be good for them to go out of the country. Ah Mo’s already arranged for two bodyguards to follow them, so it’s easier for them to move around too.” Mu Yuchen was now very careful every step of the way. Despite things being out of the ordinary, perhaps it would be good for them to go abroad and relax.

As Xi Xiaye listened, she fell silent for a moment and understood what he meant. She quickly reached out to pull his hand as her bright eyes were fixated on him. “Okay, don’t worry too much. They’re all adults, and they know how to take care of themselves, so don’t fret!”

Nodding, he kept thinking about the call he had gotten from the Imperial Sky Entertainment City management as his eyes could not help but darken. There was a hint of melancholy gathered between his brows too, but she caught it very quickly.

“Something’s on your mind. What is it?” she asked gently, and suddenly reached out to hold his hand that lay by his side. “What can’t you tell me?” Her voice sounded laden with concern and warmth while her eyes brimmed with a heartwarming light. When she just looked at him like that, her gaze naturally comforted him.

He reached out and fixed her slightly wrinkled collar, then suddenly took a step forward and put an arm behind her to hold her frail shoulders as he leaned towards her. Sorrow swirled in his eyes that s.h.i.+fted in the light.

“It’s nothing. The management of Entertainment City just called and said that Lings.h.i.+ met Gu Qiwu…”

When he said this, he paused and held her even tighter. “I promised Father before this that I’m finding the best time to handle this matter. Now, not only did I fail to come up with anything, but it looks like things are about to explode. This secret will sooner or later be made known to Qi Feng, and even more people will find out. If they don’t handle this well, not only will Aunt and Lingtian not rest in peace with such infamy, but even Lings.h.i.+ will need to bear a burden she shouldn’t need to bear.”

After he said this, Xi Xiaye suddenly felt her heart clench and feel a little heavy. She found it hard to breathe because she understood his concerns very well.

Mu Zi herself would fall from grace and become Gu Qiwu’s mistress. In fact, she had given birth to two children and committed suicide in the end because of love trouble. Such a piece of news would be a huge blow to Mu Lings.h.i.+ and the entire Mu family.

The Mu family was a prestigious family, and Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong held a high status. Therefore, they would be affected by it. In addition to that, just on Lings.h.i.+’s side alone, if she did not receive recognition from the Gu family, that would be a tremendous blow to her. Besides…

“Am I supposed to watch helplessly as Aunt and Lingtian’s reputations get ruined years after they have pa.s.sed? How are they going to rest in peace? Xiaye, tell me, what can I do right now? What else can I do? I thought that I’d have an answer very soon, but I really can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to come up with a satisfactory resolution this time.”

When he expressed his dilemma, his tone was low, and Xi Xiaye saw the sorrow in his tortured eyes.
