Xi Xiaye walked towards the drawer and got him the car keys. “Put on another layer of clothes. It’s cold outside.” She also grabbed his coat on the sofa and pa.s.sed it to him.

He nodded and slung the coat over his shoulder before heading outside. Qi Lei and Su Chen bade their farewells and followed him.

It was already late at night, so the whole Grand Waves Villa area was quiet amidst the chilly weather.

Mu Yuchen sent Qi Lei to the entrance of the Grand Lake Villa area before sending Su Chen back to his condominium.

On the way back, Su Chen asked Mu Yuchen, “So, you really trust Qi Lei now, huh? But now that I look at him, he seems pretty genuine. What did you do? How did he change so much?”

“He’s a smart guy, and I believe in his decision-making skills. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits.”

Mu Yuchen understood Qi Lei’s situation very well, hence he trusted his own decision. His appearance today confirmed his thoughts.

“You’re pretty confident, but you’ll never know what he’s really thinking. As your friend, I have to remind you that Qi Lei looks like he’s got something to hide. Be careful and take precautionary measures.” Su Chen gave Mu Yuchen a reminder as he looked at him pointedly.

“I got it. It’s time for you to go. Xiaye is still waiting for me at home. I’ll get someone to drive your car over tomorrow.”

“Let’s gather again when Zimo gets back. It’s been several months since we’ve had a drink together. You’re almost becoming a shut-in. It’s not healthy to always stay with your wife. How can a man survive without any entertainment?” Su Chen glanced at Mu Yuchen and patted his shoulder. “Don’t dote on her too much and become her slave!”

Mu Yuchen threw him a cold stare and he quickly shut up, disembarking from the car quietly.

w.a.n.g Hui was already asleep by the time he got back to Maple Residence while Xi Xiaye was going through some doc.u.ments in the study room after a shower.

Xi Xiaye sorted the doc.u.ments based on priorities. When she was done and had gone into the bedroom, Mu Yuchen came out of the bathroom wearing a blue sleeping robe.

Xi Xiaye went over and tied the sash of his robe for him as she asked, “What were you guys talking about? That was a long chat. It’s already half past ten.”

He ran his fingers through her hair and put his arm over her shoulder. “Nothing much, just some stuff that happened recently.

“Gu Lingsha?” She looked at him, her fingers interlocking with his while she slid her other arm around his waist.

He looked downwards and touched her baby b.u.mp. “Who else could it be except them? Su Nan is fine now. You can relax and rest at home. Take a look at yourself in the mirror.”

Xi Xiaye saw herself in the mirror. She looked exhausted and had some dark circles around her eyes although it was better now compared to several days earlier.

“A lot has happened. I’m just a little tired from worrying about Su Nan.”

“Go to bed earlier. Don’t stay up so late at night again. Go to sleep before 10.30 pm.”

“Mmm, the little thing has fallen asleep as well. It was acting up just now and Grandmother sang some songs. She said it must be a boy.”

“A girl, one who listens to me.”

Lately, their conversations had been revolving around their child. Master Mu could never understand why new parents always talked about their children, but now he finally understood it himself.

The next day, Xi Xiaye woke up as a result of some noise. Although the man was nowhere to be seen, as usual, he had prepared some clothes for her to change into. When she got downstairs after washing up, Mu Yinan was there reading the newspaper and enjoying some tea on the sofa.

Sis w.a.n.g was quick to notice Xi Xiaye. “Good morning, Missus!”

Xi Xiaye nodded in response. “Good morning!”

Mu Yinan looked over when he heard their voices. He spoke gently, “You’re awake.”

“Good morning, Grandfather! Where’s Grandmother and Mu Yuchen?”

“Missus, Master went to work, and he specifically told you to stay at home and rest. He’ll take care of the handover work and will call you if there’s anything he needs. The flowers in the backyard have bloomed, so Elder Madam is there right now.”

“Have some breakfast, Sis w.a.n.g. Get Elder Madam back here for breakfast.” Mu Yinan’s expression was not as strained as Xi Xiaye imagined. Instead, he looked slightly helpless, and it seemed like the conflict yesterday ended with his defeat.

Breakfast was soon served. It was a nutritious Eastern breakfast.

w.a.n.g Hui sat down beside Xi Xiaye and opposite Mu Yinan. She was definitely giving him a hard time.

After Mu Yinan gulped down half a bowl of porridge, he quietly uttered, “Well, I fed the parrot… I didn’t pluck out your flowers. I even watered them. I also… didn’t go to the ***… I really didn’t. I stayed at home all night. You can ask Tangchuan if you don’t believe me. We played some chess and only went to sleep at around midnight!” Mu Yinan explained himself as he looked at his wife.

w.a.n.g Hui ignored him outright. She scooped another half bowl of porridge for Xi Xiaye and smiled. “Here, have a little more. I know you don’t like greasy food, so we made this.”

Her kind att.i.tude to Xi Xiaye was a huge contrast to how she usually treated Mu Yinan. He started to frown.

“Grandfather, Grandmother, that’s enough now. Mu Yuchen said Ah Mo and Lingshi will be going back home as they will be leaving for France tonight. They might only be back after several months, let Chauffeur w.a.n.g send you two back home after breakfast.”

Xi Xiaye remembered what her man said last night.

“What? Ah Mo and Lingshi are going to France? Didn’t Ah Chen just return from there?”

The two of them were stunned.

“There are still some things that need to be handled there. It’s also an opportunity for them to travel around.” Xi Xiaye smiled.
