Mu Yuchen stood right behind her in a casual suit with his n.o.ble and handsome face. As he just stayed there, lots of heads turned, but his eyes were fixed on the little woman before him.

Xi Xiaye obviously knew about his charms. Her clear eyes glanced around and she even saw some young girls secretly taking pictures of him. She pursed her lips and glanced at him. Forgetting about holding back, she just reached out to hold his hand and walked out.

“Let’s go home. Grandmother and the rest are waiting!”

He lowered his head to look at their interlocked hands as a faint ripple flashed across his handsome face and he let her pull him away.

Her hands were almost healed, but in his grasp, he could still feel the uneven coa.r.s.eness of her wounds. Her forehead still showed that bit of new, puckered skin though the scars were not very deep.

Xi Xiaye drove all the way back to the old Mu residence. Her driving skills were still as impressive as before, and she liked driving fast. Since he rarely had time to relax, he leaned back against the chair to close his eyes and rest.

“Hey, Mr. Mu, Li Si said that you went to meet with Qi Lei again yesterday. He seemed like he was hiding something from me. What do you think about Qi Lei? I’m referring to his style and aura. Does it dazzle you?” Xi Xiaye finally spoke up to break this rare silence.

“What are you trying to say?” Master Mu did not even open his eyes as he softly responded.

“Last week, you had dinner with Qi Lei for three nights. Weren’t you planning on explaining it to me? In fact, you had some supermodel as company too. I’ve been patient for a long time now. I’m telling you, I think that you’ve been worsening recently. You never used to indulge in such pleasures.” Xi Xiaye’s brows were furrowed into a knot.

“What nonsense are you thinking about? There’s just been quite a number of things that I needed to discuss with him.”

“Do you have to discuss work matters at such places? Are you not being honest with me?” Xi Xiaye cast a glance of doubt at him. Upon seeing that he was unfazed, she could not help but glare at him. “Recently, there’s been some news about you and Qi Lei going around about, you know. You better watch out for yourself!”

“What do you mean by ‘you know’? Didn’t this scandal exist a long time ago?” At this moment, Mu Yuchen squinted at her. He said helplessly, “Okay, stop trying to get things out of me. Qi Lei just wanted to cover himself. He’s been doing quite well at Qi Kai, having returned to his life as the Second Master and his old character, so I’m just playing along.”

“Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha have been busy preparing for the wedding, so they don’t have time to care much. I’m hoping that he’ll use this chance to steady his ground. Right, about the materials from Hua Heng, I’ve already closed the deal with CEO Hua. He’s agreed to give us the materials, but we need to go along with the prices that Qi Kai was previously set on,” she said.

“Mmm, right now we need to cooperate to fight for more time for Qi Lei and get them to pay attention to us. Of course, when it’s all done on Qi Lei’s end, he’d better be smart. He’s taken such huge advantage of us, so he better repay you properly. You’re a woman, and that guy’s always been very kind to women.”

When Xi Xiaye heard that, she immediately rolled her eyes at him. She almost forgot that this fellow had always been a true blue profiteer!

“Sure, I’ll get him to get me great care [1]!” When Xi Xiaye said this, Mu Yuchen’s expression immediately darkened. A dangerous light gleamed in his dark eyes.

“Great care? I’ll show you what great care really means when we get home tonight. It’ll be a five-star service!” Then, he shot her an unhappy glare.

Xi Xiaye laughed till her stomach hurt. She could not help but slow down the car.

It was Friday. Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong were on break, so the whole family had not gathered together for a long while now. Because of that, Mu Yinan called all the children home for dinner.

Xi Xiaye had prepared quite a number of tonics for Mu Lings.h.i.+ but had not had the time to personally bring them over, so now she could pa.s.s them to her.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ had undergone quite a shocking reaction. In a short period, she had slimmed down just like when Xi Xiaye was pregnant with Mu Xiaocheng. Ah Mo was terribly worried, so he called Dr. Zhong over every few days.

Right now, it was dinner time. Xi Xiaye brought up some appetizers for her. Mu Lings.h.i.+ just had two bites when she could not help but rush to the bathroom. Xi Xiaye quickly set aside her chopsticks and followed after her.

Ah Mo wanted to get up and follow her, but Mu Yuchen stopped him.

Master Mu had some experience in this, so he advised Ah Mo, “She’s got Grandmother and your sis-in-law. It’ll be like this all the time for now, but don’t be too worried.”

Ah Mo then held back the anxiety in his heart and turned to look at Mu Yuchen who was idly flipping through the newspaper. He breathed steadily and then calmed down.

“Bro, there’s news from Ah Bao!”

“Hmm?” Mu Yuchen responded calmly while his gaze remained on the newspaper before him.

“Gu Qiwu made a trip back to City B a few days ago, but his butler here seemed to have prepared quite a lot of things for Doris. With quite a lot of clothes and shoes being bought, it looks like Doris might be returning very soon.”

When Ah Mo finished, Mu Yuchen paused as he thought about it, then asked, “That’s not weird. Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha are getting married next month. As much as she can hold back, it’s probably time for her to show up.”

“LIngs.h.i.+ also met Gu Qiwu a few days ago. She…”

“I know about this. What you’re worried about is the same concern I have.” Now, Mu Yuchen’s brows knitted together as he slowly shut the newspaper in his hand. “Looks like I need to ask Gu Qiwu out for a chat,” he said in a deep tone.

“Ask Gu Qiwu out? Will it work? Bro, what else can you say to him?” Ah Mo frowned a little worriedly as he lowered his voice to ask.

“I want to try and confirm his att.i.tude. I’m being kind by helping LIngs.h.i.+ give him a chance. If he doesn’t want it, then there’s no need to blame me for being cruel.” Mu Yuchen’s calm voice was colored with hostility. When he said this, a sharp light flickered in his eyes.

“Bro, Lings.h.i.+ doesn’t care about those things.”

“She doesn’t care, but that doesn’t mean the Mu family doesn’t. It doesn’t mean that those who have left us don’t care either,” Mu Yuchen answered coldly.
