MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 21 Episode 18

“Master… That collaboration case, isn’t it…” Li Si probed in a low voice.

“Stalling for some time will be beneficial to Qi Lei’s side for a while. You should get Ah Quan to go over and help, Qi Lei needs to be found as soon as possible. The situation there is unstable, no one knows what will happen if they stayed for another day. Tell them to protect Dongfang Liuyun.”

If he did not do that, he would not be able to explain to Qi Lei if anything happened. Before Qi Lei left, he had asked him to take good care of Dongfang Liuyun.

Li Si naturally understood Mu Yuchen’s considerations, so he nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll make it clear. Once there’s news, I’ll report to you immediately.”

Mu Yuchen nodded and waved his hand before Li Si left.

Suddenly, only Mu Yuchen was left in the office.

Qi Lei’s unruly appearance suddenly appeared in his mind. After interacting with him for the past few years, Mu Yuchen had already treated Qi Lei as a good brother. Back then, when he had promised Xi Xiaye that he would take care of him, it was also because he wanted to make up for the regret in his heart. He hoped that Qi Lei could lead a better life. At least, he would not be like Lingtian.

He thought about it for a while before taking a deep breath. He slowly turned the back of his chair and looked out the window—

It was a gloomy, overcast day outside. The clouds were gloomy.

‘Ding—’

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. He turned around and picked it up to take a look. It was an unfamiliar number.

However, the message inside was from Qi Lei.

It was a video clip of Qi Lei himself. Looking at it, it should have been recorded when he arrived in Myanmar a few days ago.

‘Brother, please do me a favor. If anything happens to me this time, take good care of Liuyun for me. It wasn’t easy for me to wait for her, I don’t want to lose her, I’ll definitely return safely.’

No wonder Qi Lei had asked him if he had received any messages a few days ago. The signal over there must be unstable.

Mu Yuchen put away his phone and massaged the space between his brows solemnly. He fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. He calmed down while a pair of delicate hands had already pressed on his temples.

“What’s wrong? You look like you have a lot on your mind.”

Mu Yuchen closed his eyes in enjoyment when he heard her gentle voice. His long arms accurately wrapped around her slender waist. “You’ve really trained your fiery eyes. I don’t see my emotions written all over my face.”

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye chuckled softly. “I can feel it.”

She tightened her grip and continued, “I saw you working late last night. I thought it was because of the company. Now that I look at it, it shouldn’t be either. Is it because of Qi Lei or Lingshi?”

“What do you think?” Mu Yuchen asked.

Xi Xiaye frowned and thought about it, “I called Ah Mo this morning. Lingshi just finished her surgery this morning. It’s appendicitis. She’s fine now. Mother will take care of her. Don’t worry. Father had made some arrangements for the next two days. He would also make a trip to City B. The children have been handed over to their parents for the next two days. It’s going to be the final exams soon. They don’t have to go to class during the revision phase.”

Mu Lingshi’s condition had not been very good recently. She had a sudden stomachache yesterday morning and was sent to the hospital. The doctor had diagnosed it as acute appendicitis, so the doctor suggested immediate surgery. Yesterday afternoon, Zhuang Shurong had rushed over worriedly.

“It’s good that she’s fine. Ah Mo and Mother aren’t in any trouble over there.”

Mu Yuchen had also received news that Mu Lingshi’s surgery had gone very smoothly, so he was a little relieved. Now, it was Qi Lei.

Dongfang Liuyun going off to Myanmar like this caught him a little caught off guard. The things that he had promised Qi Lei before were probably…

“Where’s your son?” Mu Yuchen grabbed her wrist and asked.

“He’s with Grandpa. He’s a little busy these two days. Isn’t Zhou Zimo preparing for his wedding these few days? He said that he wants Wei’er and Xiao Rui to be flower girl and boy, so the two old men were chatting together. Just now, they even said that they’re playing golf and drinking tea outside.”

“Don’t tell me he wants his son to learn golf? The little brat can’t even differentiate between chess pieces,” Mu Yuchen smiled and said helplessly.

“Doesn’t the little guy just chase after the ball when he gets there? Grandfather said that it’ll be good to let him accompany him for the next few days, so that he won’t get rusty from doing nothing.”

Xi Xiaye thought about Shen Yue’s words and could not help but smile again.

“Oh right, I’ve made an appointment for a checkup tomorrow morning. I’ve had so much tonic food that I think it’s more or less the same, but…”

Xi Xiaye stopped moving and sat on his lap, her brows furrowing even deeper.

“What’s there to check? Aren’t the results the same? No matter how persistent you are, I should just stop thinking about it.”

Mu Yuchen put his large hand on her shoulder and lowered his head to kiss her slightly cold lips. “Anyway, we’ve already had children. If we’re that good, Qi Lei and Zimo won’t be able to keep up with us. We have to wait for them.”

Xi Xiaye laughed out loud. “Do you guys have to wait on each other for such things too?”

“Of course, don’t let others get away with it. Su Chen once said that fortunately, Zhou Zimo is a man. Otherwise, if he were a different gender, he would have become Su Chen’s wife.”

Xi Xiaye laughed even louder. “Does that mean that Mother Su and the others thought the same as you?”

“Of course. I always felt that it was good for everyone to know the truth. I didn’t think so in the past either, but now that I look at it, other than the friends by my side who make me feel comfortable, I actually don’t think much of anyone else.”

Mu Yuchen did not hide his feelings at all.

“Do you feel that way too? I feel the same way too. I always feel that my own people are the most excellent and the best,” Xi Xiaye agreed.

“Of course. For example, you don’t like anyone right now. No matter how you look at it, you think I’m the best, right, Missus?”

Master Mu’s narcissism index had never decreased. Instead, it was increasing. Xi Xiaye did not know where his confidence came from.

“It’s hard to say. Let me tell you, Fuhua has been looking for quite a number of young people who have put in a lot of effort. They’re very energetic. I feel very comfortable chatting with them.”

Xi Xiaye squinted at him. As expected, his expression darkened for a moment. Then, she glanced at him disapprovingly—

“You said that you like mature, steady, and elegant men.”

“Did I say that? But now, I prefer cute and energetic men, like…”

“Like who?” Mu Yuchen continued to ask.

“Like Mu Xiaocheng and Xiao Rui.”

When he heard her, Mu Yuchen calmed down a little. His expression was still a little abnormal as he glared at her.

Xi Xiaye’s heart also calmed down—

She could finally see that his expression looked a little better!
