Chapter 1213 - Chasing After A Far Away Husband? (3)
Mu Yuchen nodded as he picked up the magazine before him and began to flip through it.
“How are things on Zimo’s end?” his lowered voice spoke.
“He’s still slowly recovering. They’ve done a check-up this morning. He’s too severely wounded, so he needs to rest for a while more. With his current situation, the police daren’t do anything to him. Right, Master, Elder Zhou called this morning,” Li si said as he quickly handed Mu Yuchen the medicine.
The attendant left after getting the breakfast ready.
Mu Yuchen quietly took the medicine and swallowed it.
“I’ll call him back later.”
“Master, do you think Elder Zhou heard something? After all, walls have ears. If we can find out about Qi Feng and the rest, they might know something about us here too. In fact, I think that there’s something strange about the incident this time. The way it has played out doesn’t seem like a simple framing. An ordinary person would need a reason to do this.”
Li Si said as his expression turned solemn again, “Master Mo himself hasn’t noticed which one was the mole.”
“He trusts his judgment too much. Filter through all those people and look into their background in detail again. Don’t let go of any clues and note down any suspicious situations,” Mu Yuchen thought for a moment, then swiftly ordered.
“Yes, Master!”
Li Si responded, “Oh right, Master, on City Z’s end, Qi Kai doesn’t seem to be doing too well. Xi Xinyi called. She wants to know what your plans are…”
Xi Xinyi?
When it came to the incident this time, both she and Qi Lei had been outstanding.
As Mu Yuchen thought about it, his eyes flickered, then he fell silent for a moment. “Where’s Han Yifeng right now?”
“He’s still in Boston. His new company’s expanding there. This year, he’s been running around Boston and San Francisco, but, Master, I heard Ah Bo mention that Han Yifeng will be coming to New York in the next few days. There’s a discussion for a new product and the meeting location should be nearby.”
Li Si knew about Han Yifeng’s situation like the back of his hand because of this chesspiece, Xi Xinyi. The Master had put in a lot of thought, and now that Xi Xinyi did technically do her part well, she probably wanted to get something from him.
Han Yifeng was coming to New York?
Mu Yuchen suddenly fell silent and his dark eyes turned still too. He slowly leaned back against the sofa and seemed to ponder for a long while before he said, “Confirm his travel itinerary and try to arrange for me to meet him.”
Unless Xi Xinyi could turn over a new leaf, Mu Yuchen did not mind helping her succeed. After all, she had been a useful chess piece. That also meant that on Xi Mushan’s end…
When he thought of this, mixed emotions glimmered in Mu Yuchen’s eyes. He did not know whether doing so was right or wrong. He should find a chance to explain all of these to Xiaye.
Obviously, Mu Yuchen’s words surprised Li Si.
Li Si knew very well that his Master had not quite liked Han Yifeng, especially because the Missus had once liked him, but he had hurt Missus for Xi Xinyi. Based just on this alone, it was enough to categorize Han Yifeng as trash.
1However, the fact that the Master could let all of this go and wanted to meet Han Yifeng gave a very clear message!
“Master, do you want to consider this more? Missus is here. If Han YIfeng sees her…he hasn’t quite given up on her…” Li Si probed. He actually did not like Han Yifeng. In fact, every time this name was mentioned, he would be filled with wary and vigilance.
However, when Li Si said that, Mu Yuchen immediately frowned and looked unhappily at him. He asked in a low voice, “Do you think that there’s any part of me that can’t compare to Han Yifeng?”
1His cold tone made Li Si shudder, so the latter quickly replied, “Master, you’re better than Han Yifeng in everything! Han Yifeng’s not as handsome as you. He doesn’t have your charisma. He’s not even worthy of being compared to your finger!”
1When he said that, Mu Yuchen’s dismal gaze calmed down a little. He cleared his throat and quietly lowered his head, falling silent…
No matter what, every time Han Yifeng was brought up, his Master would still be unhappy.
Li Si could not help but cry over the fact that his Master would be jealous of something so old.
“I never even saw Han Yifeng as competition. Whether it’s taste, charisma, or upbringing, he only suits a woman like Xi Xinyi. Don’t put your Missus in the same class as someone like him.”
1His temper came without a warning and his tone was harsh. Even the air was filled with faint jealousy.
“Yes, Master! I got it. I will remember! I’ll make the arrangements. Don’t worry, Master! On this earth, only you are suited for Missus. Look how cute the Little Master is. Only a child that Master and Missus gave birth to can…ah—” Li Si’s heart tensed as he quickly answered. He wanted to give more praises, yet unexpectedly, as Mu Yuchen kept listening, his expression changed and in the next second, the magazine flew out of his hand and stopped Li Si’s upcoming words.
1Shocked, Li Si shut up.
At this moment, Master Mu suddenly thought that perhaps putting Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi together would be best. That way, he would be certain that Han YIfeng would not have the time to miss his woman since Han Yifeng seemed to have called Xi Xiaye before this.
He was a man too, and he knew very well what an action like that meant.
Flowers, calling her…all of that signified that Han Yifeng’s outwardly cold but deeply passionate heart was sprouting for XI Xiaye again!
Forget about staying friends even if not lovers. Why did Mu Yuchen not stay friends with the women who liked him?
Now, as he thought about that, he seemed to have neglected Second Master Qi who has always been thinking of Xi Xiaye too!
1“Well, Master, can you guarantee that you’ll persuade Han Yifeng to accept Xi Xinyi again?” Li Si asked with puzzlement.
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen smiled coldly. “I only promised Xi Xinyi a chance. I didn’t promise her that Han Yifeng would take her back.”
…
Xi Xiaye woke up from a drowsy slumber. When she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar scene, she was momentarily confused.
Afterward, her misty eyes became clear again.
Scenes from last night flashed past her mind, and her face could not help but flush scarlet. After a while, she struggled to get up and soon noticed the clothes prepared for her on the side…
