Mu Yuchen nodded gently. His deep voice was sensitive as he replied, “Mmm, they’ve left. It’s already so late. No bringing such topics into the bedroom the next time.”
Then, he reached over to Mu Xiaocheng before gently picking him up. “Come here, my son. Let me carry you.”
“Go and shower first! You smell like alcohol. You’ll suffocate him. I’ve gotten your clothes out for you. Chop chop!” Xi Xiaye stopped him, s.n.a.t.c.hed her son over, and looked at him in disdain.
Mu Yuchen spread his palms open helplessly, took a look at Xi Xiaye, then leaned down slightly to say in his son’s ear softly, “Son, do you see that? Your mother’s beginning to not like me now.”
“Go now. You’re so dirty!” Xi Xiaye reached out to push him away, but he just chuckled softly and then stole a peck on her lips before going to the bathroom.
More than 20 minutes later, Mu Yuchen finally came out of the bathroom refreshed, then he swiftly plonked himself on the bed before pulling Xi Xiaye into his arms as he lowered his head and watched Mu Xiaocheng in her arms.
It was late at night, but Mu Xiaocheng had just woken up from his sleep, so he now seemed quite energetic. He widened his bright eyes and watched the two faces before him while his mouth kept making cooing sounds as if he was talking to his parents. At the same time, Xi Xiaye seemed to be having a great chat with him too.
Upon feeling his warmth behind her, Xi Xiaye turned and looked at him, then she said gently to her son, “Baby, who’s this? Look, can you recognize who this is?”
“Even if he can, he can’t answer you. Come, son, let your me carry you. See if you’ve gotten heavier, hmm?”
Mu Yuchen took their son from Xi Xiaye’s arms, lifting him slightly. His calm eyes gathered with a faint hint of tenderness as he planted a kiss on his son’s face while Mu Xiaocheng laughed happily, reaching out to hold his cheek.
“Father, son. Call Father. Remember that this handsome and dashing man before you is your father, and this beautiful woman beside you is your mother. Remember that? Little one, don’t put your hand into your mouth. That’s dirty…”
Xi Xiaye looked helplessly at the vain man. She just pursed her lips and smiled, not disturbing this adorable father-son interaction.
“Mmm? What do you want? Your eyes are so wide open. This is a light…Isn’t it quite bright? Does it look beautiful? Let me teach you how to differentiate colors. Hmm, do you see that? This is a dim yellow, warm light. Isn’t it quite beautiful? Give me a smile.”
Mu Xiaocheng widened his eyes and blinked at the light shining overhead. He seemed to have suddenly noticed something very fun, so his hands kept waving about while his mouth mumbled a cheerful sound.
“Come on, give me face. Give me a smile. Call Father, Father…Look at me, little one, look at me. What’s so nice about the light? Look at me…”
Mu Xiaocheng ignored him and kept staring unmoving with his eyes widened at the light above him.
After that, Xi Xiaye reminded amusedly, “Alright now. Quickly coax him to sleep. The little guy isn’t used to sleeping late.”
Mu Yuchen pinched Mu Xiaocheng’s little cheeks. “How naughty of you. When will you grow up? When will you call Father and Mother, hmm? When you’ve grown a little more and have learned how to talk and walk, I will bring you to have fun, little guy.”
…
Later on, they still chatted and played with Mu Xiaocheng till past midnight before the husband and wife coaxed him to sleep. Then, Xi Xiaye slipped into Mu Yuchen’s arms.
When they were about to fall asleep, Xi Xiaye who laid in his arms suddenly asked softly, “Did Ah Mo say anything about Ah Shi?”
“Still the same. It will still take some time for her to accept it. Mother’s been going over these past few days, so don’t worry.” His deep voice came unhurriedly.
Xi Xiaye sighed softly before she said a little helplessly, “I’ll go over to see her tomorrow too. Have you arrange the work matters for her?”
“I let VP Wen arrange it. Alright, sleep earlier. We’ll talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow.”
Xi Xiaye then plainly responded, “Mmm, I hope that the days to come won’t be as you guessed. Otherwise…”
“We’ve done our best. Don’t worry too much. I’ve sent Ah Mo to City B. He left tonight,” Mu Yuchen told her about Ah Mo’s movements in the end.
While Xi Xiaye was stunned, she did not ask further about it. Instead, she said calmly, “Mmm, I’ll let you handle these things. If you need anything, let me know. Right, are you going to prepare the gift for Su Chen’s wedding or should I do it?”
“There’s nothing more suitable than giving him a huge red packet. I initially kept a villa for them in the Grand Waves Villa area too. I was planning on giving it to them as their wedding gift, but Ah Mo’s not willing to move over. As for Su Chen and Zimo, that depends on their wishes too.”
“Mmm, if we were in the same villa area, Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng would have friends to play with as they grow up, just like how you were with Su Chen and Zhou Zimo. That was your plan, wasn’t it?”
She had been with him for a while, so she could naturally see through his intentions. After all, he was someone who valued relationships, kinship, brotherhood, friendship, and even his love for her.
“Yeah, Ah Mo and Su Chen are done now. It’s just Zimo left.”
“Alright, there’s still Qi Lei too. I’ve been thinking about it these past few days. I think that he’s quite…Mr. Mu, you’re a very broad-minded person. Please watch over him more.”
When he heard that, he started to feel a little jealous. His hand slid around her waist and he gently pinched her. “You care about him more than you care about me, Missus.”
Xi Xiaye shrunk back ticklishly and then put her hands around his shoulder as she smiled. “The whole world knows that I care about you the most.”
“Is that so?” He chuckled. His hands reached to her back and explored upwards.
With a shudder, she reached out to caress his chest too. “How annoying! I know how to as well…”
He immediately laughed out softly, and went to her, pulling her into his embrace and holding her restless hand down. “Alright, I admit my wrongdoing, Missus. Let’s go to sleep.”
Xi Xiaye then stopped. In the dim light, she stared at him for a very long while before asking, “Mr. Mu, will you always be this good to me?”
His large hand gently patted her head, yet he did not answer her. He only pulled her into his embrace.
Without an answer, Xi Xiaye fell asleep, yet right before she did, she seemed to have heard him say…
