Chapter 589 - The End of Yue Lingsi (3)
She was sound asleep on the sofa and did not even notice that someone was beside her.
He looked at her for a while before letting out a helpless sigh. As he was about to pick her up to go back to the room, she was slightly shocked when he touched her arm, and she trembled a little before opening her eyes.
“You’re back…” She rubbed her eyes as she looked at the man before her. Sitting up abruptly, her messy hair fell over her shoulders and her eyes still seemed blurry. She grabbed Mu Yuchen’s hand.
“Why don’t you sleep in the room? It’s cold at night. Why not wear an extra piece of garment?” His tone was concerned while his other hand ran his fingers through her hair.
“It’s not that cold at home. I’m waiting for you.” She dragged him down to sit beside her.
Her simple words were meaningful to him, and he felt a warmth deep inside his heart.
Mu Yuchen remembered that he got a call just now, so he asked, “Did my grandmother and mother go back?”
Xi Xiaye nodded. “They just left not too long ago. They planned to wait up, but they waited for quite some time, so they went back first. Well, you did come back pretty early today, just slightly past ten.”
“I was worried about leaving you alone at home. Why did they come here? Didn’t we just go back a few days ago?”
He could smell the pleasant scent of hers after her shower. He felt the thrum of a thrill as he saw her beautiful face and her collarbone right beneath her sleeping robe. Suddenly, he realized that her charm was getting stronger, and he had fallen deeper for her.
“Please don’t do that…” She backed away slightly as she pushed him away. Her face blushed while she stared at him.
“What?” He smiled and wrapped her in his arms. He then lowered his head and landed a kiss on her pink lips. The passionate makeout went on for several minutes before he finally let her go.
“This little thing is pretty torturing. It’ll never know how much its father sacrificed.” He sighed as he touched Xi Xiaye’s baby bump. His helplessness was manifested in both his tone of voice and his frown.
Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him. “Can you please have more healthy thoughts? You weren’t like this before. You’re becoming more and more of a pervert as you get older.”
“Am I old now?” His eyebrows raised when he asked her that.
“Mother told me just now that you’re going to be 33 next year. Do you still think that you’re young?” She stood up and asked, “Do you want to have supper? I can make you some.”
“I’m not hungry. Let’s head upstairs and rest earlier. What else did my mother and grandmother tell you?”
“Nothing much. You should go take a shower first. I have something to talk to you about later.”
…
Mu Yuchen swiftly finished his shower after he went into the bedroom. When he went to lie down on the bed, he noticed she was reading a poetry collection while caressing her belly.
“Mr. Mu?” she called out to him as he came closer.
“Hmm?” He lifted the blanket and looked at her.
Xi Xiaye gave it some thought. In the end, she still decided to tell him about it. “Mother talked to me about the Mu family and the Gu family. She mentioned Gu Lingsha as well… Actually, I think she really cares about you. Both her and Father knew that I sent people to investigate the Qi family. They were worried that we’d get into a fight because of some misunderstandings in the past, so she explained it all to me.”
He went silent for a moment before he nodded. “That does sound like my parents’ style. They are always like this, preferring to talk things through.”
“Mmm, I think they are very liberal, whether at work or at home. Some people say rationale can create a gap between people, but I have a different view on that now. In the end, it depends on how people want to work through the relationship. Sometimes I’m quite envious of how polite the relationship between Father and Mother is,” Xi Xiaye said.
Mu Yuchen laughed. “Polite? That’s just what we see on the surface.”
Xi Xiaye took a pause as she was suddenly reminded of something. Then, she grinned. “True. When I saw Father’s gaze at Mother, it’s just like…”
She did not finish her sentence, so he probed, “Like what?”
She smiled mischievously. “Just like how you look at me…”
Mu Yuchen was stunned. He stared at her for a while before turning away. Then, he grabbed her book and tossed it away before climbing onto the top of her.
Right before he switched the lamp off, she could clearly see the man was actually blushing!
…
It was getting late and the moonlight lit up the night sky of City Z, making the scenery look magical.
Yue Lingsi was furious and frustrated when she watched the police car slowly go away. She scolded them, “You dogs! Who do you think you are!? Do you people even know who I am? I’m going to make you all pay for this! Idiots! Trash!”
After the incident at the rehabilitation center, Li Si and the others had sent her to the police station and delivered the video to the authorities. She was locked up and only released just a while ago, thanks to her brother!
“Xi Xiaye, you little witch, I’ll never let this go so easily! Never! Shen Wenna, don’t you dare think that you’ve won! I can do anything if you force me into a corner. Shen Wenna, Xi Mushan, you guys are going to regret this!” Yue Lingsi clenched her fists angrily.
How did she end up like this after she had sacrificed so much for Xi Mushan, even her reputation and her marriage? How could Shen Wenna grab his heart even when she had given nothing up at all?
She could not accept this at all!
