MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 4 Episode 35

Huang Ziyao and the others were shocked to hear that huge piece of news. They could not believe it, so they just gaped at Deng Wenwen’s aged face, in just a brief moment of time, many expressions flashed past. There were worries and frustrations, but it was also difficult to tell.

“Grandmother…” Xi Xinyi called out to Deng Wenwen when she saw her reaction. There was a slight grievance in her tone, and her pale face made her seem much more fragile.

Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi both looked at Xi Xinyi. “Alright, the guests are coming. Don’t say anything. Just wait and see.”

“I will speak properly with Sister… since Sister and brother-in-law are coming over…” Xi Xinyi glanced over at Han Yifeng’s direction when she spoke. She noticed the complex expression on his face as well as his eyes staring at her.

Startled, she swiftly averted her gaze away. No one else in the living room spoke another word and the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy as everyone had their own thoughts.

…

The sunlight at noon was very bright. It was remarkably warm standing under it. Xi Mushan stood at the entrance for a few minutes before he heard the sound of a car engine coming closer. He then raised his head.

As expected, two black cars were on the way over to him, driving pretty slowly.

After a while, the cars stopped on the road nearby. The door was opened from inside and Li Si came out swiftly. Just as he was about to open the door for the car in front, someone opened it from inside.

Mu Yuchen came out casually. Looking up, he saw Xi Mushan in front. Xi Mushan looked at him as his facial expression softened and he gave Xi Mushan a nod. Xi Mushan smiled and nodded back at him.

Mu Yuchen then grabbed Xi Xiaye’s hand as she got out of the car.

Xi Xiaye wore a spring-themed qipao with calligraphy designs accompanied by a shawl on her shoulders. Beside her, Mu Yuchen wore a casual, dark silver suit. They looked really matching together.

Xi Xiaye was startled for a little while when she saw Xi Mushen in front of the door. She came back to her senses when she heard Li Si giving orders to the bodyguards to bring out the gifts they had brought.

Xi Mushan went to them. “I’ve been waiting for you guys for a while. Come inside.” Xi Mushan’s deep voice reached her.

“Father…” Xi Xiaye called out to him quietly. She raised her head and looked at the large house behind him before her hand that clung onto his arm stiffened. “Let’s head inside. It’s pretty warm out here.”

Xi Xiaye then nodded before turning over to Li Si. “Assistant Li, please bring the gifts inside.”

“Yes, Missus!” Li Si and the others started moving the items after he gave a brief reply.

At the same time, there were some footsteps coming from the door. Xi Xiaye looked over to see Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi coming outside together with Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi.

When they saw the matching Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, they were blown away for quite a while before they were able to react.

Deng Wenwen’s face went stiff. After putting in some effort, she forced a smile and went up to them, stopping beside Xi Mushan and speaking in a very gentle tone, “Xiaye’s back! Chairman Mu… or I should say, Ah Chen…”

Her tone was very unnatural, highlighting the awkwardness between them.

Yue Lingsi forced a smile and stood beside Xi Mushan.

Xi Xinyi hid the faint light in her eyes as she looked at the couple before her. She pasted a smile on her pale face and dragged Han Yifeng over. “Chairman Mu… I mean, Brother-in-law and Sister, welcome back to West Park!”

There was a joyous tone in her gentle voice as if she had been looking forward to Xi Xiaye’s return for ages. “Father has been expecting this day for a very long time! Why don’t you guys join us for lunch? Yifeng’s parents are here too! We can gather around and have a meal together.”

Xi Xiaye did not say anything and just looked at them coldly while Mu Yuchen gave them a slight nod.

No one said anything after Xi Xinyi. The air around turned rigid and there was an invisible pressure around them.

After a while, Xi Mushan turned around and started walking into the house. “Let’s all head back inside. Don’t just stand around here.”

Deng Wenwen nodded, still trying hard to keep the smile on her face. Xi Xiaye turned her head over as she put on a chilly smile.

“Yeah, let’s head back inside. I’ve prepared some dishes. Since Xin Er and Yifeng are around, it’s been a long time since we’ve all gathered around. Come inside quickly.” Deng Wenwen smiled.

“We won’t be joining the meal. My mother is teaching at University A now. How is this a gathering? We’re just here to take a look at Grandfather and will leave very soon. You guys can just go on with whatever you’re doing.” Completely devoid of an ounce of friendliness, she turned her head over to the man beside her. “Let’s go in.”

Mu Yuchen nodded as he glanced over at Deng Wenwen’s group. When his eyes met Han Yifeng’s, there was a faint, meaningful glimpse in his eyes. He did not say anything as Xi Xiaye pulled him into West Park.

Xi Xiaye and Mu Yuchen went past them as if they were invisible. The rage inside Deng Wenwen nearly exploded, and Xi Xinyi looked pale and cold. Her eyes darkened as she watched the two of them enter the house.

“Mother, look at that! Just what was that attitude!?” Yue Lingsi could not help but start whining. Her eyes burned with anger as she looked watched their backs.

Deng Wenwen took several deep breaths and calmed down as she held onto Yue Lingsi. “Don’t say anything. Let’s go back in for now!”

They then went back inside.
