The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

unlike the stormy city b, city z was exceptionally cloudless tonight. the bright moon hung high in the night sky while the bright silver moonlight illuminated the ground, engulfing the grand waves villa in a mesmerizing gentleness.

when xi xiaye returned from the old mu residence, it was already a little late, and sis wang had already coaxed mu xiaocheng to sleep.

however, xi xiaye still could not help but go to the baby’s room and watch her son for a while before she returned to her bedroom. after a comfortable bath, she went to the study room, all cool and relaxed.

now, the clock on the wall showed that it was midnight, but xi xiaye did not feel like sleeping yet.

there was still no news about qi lei and ah mo, so she was worried. because ah mo was skilled, she could still persuade herself to feel assured, but qi lei was different. he had been an heir who lived life unconventionally. he probably did not have many self-defense skills, and if he fell into the hands of the bad guys, he would definitely suffer.

when she thought about this, xi xiaye could not help but sigh softly again. her mind suddenly flashed with the memory of her conversation with mu tangchuan that night. suddenly, she thought about wang qin again…

back then, she had promised wang qin, that pitiful and sad woman who was not treated kindly by fate but…

‘qi lei, may you make it through this time,’ she thought to herself.

as xi xiaye prayed in her heart, she got up and walked to the window. she saw that the moon looked wonderful, and as she was thinking about whether to go out for a walk, there was a knock on the door.

she then turned and responded towards the door, “come in!”

when the door opened, sis wang brought in a tray. there was a steaming cup of milk and a bowl of porridge on it.

“sis wang? why aren’t you asleep yet?” xi xiaye’s calm voice was heard.

“missus…i saw that you’ve not been looking too good, and you were busy until so late. last night, you were going at it in the study room the entire night. you have to watch your health! earlier, i specially made you some bird’s nest. have some and rest earlier!” sis wang said caringly.

with a smile, xi xiaye said gratefully, “thank you. put it down first. i’m not hungry yet. i’ll eat later. it’s already so late, so rest earlier now.”

“that’s fine. missus, you look like there’s a lot on your mind. did something happen?”

“nothing much. we’ve just got a sticky situation to deal with. you’ve worked hard with sis fang to take care of xiao rui and xiao cheng every day. when master’s back, i’ll tell him to raise your salaries. next time, if there’s nothing much, try not to go out so much. when it comes to xiao rui, remember to let the bodyguards send and pick him up from school. also, for xiao cheng, apart from the mu family and the shen family, no one should be fetching him without my permission for him to leave the house. do you understand?” xi xiaye reminded worriedly.

sis wang nodded and smiled to say, “don’t worry, missus. the master has already mentioned this to us. master’s already paying us very well, and we’re very contented too. missus, you don’t have to regard us as outsiders.”

“i notice all your effort and hard work. everything we’re giving is what you deserve. alright, put down the things and rest earlier. i’ve still got a few documents to look through,” xi xiaye said, then walked to her desk to sit down again.

when sis wang saw that, she dared not disturb her, so she set the things on a side table before she mentioned a few more things and retreated.

the night was getting later, and the moonlight by the window slowly shifted to the left. the curtains also revealed long shadows.

xi xiaye did not know how long she held on to staying awake. after a while, she fell asleep, and even the bird’s nest had gone cold, but she did not realize it.

it was long past midnight, and the entire villa had fallen into a quiet dream state when finally, a black car slowly drove into the grand waves villa area with the moonlight shining on it. it stopped before maple residence.

li si swiftly got down from the car and opened the door for mu yuchen. “master, you’re home!”

in the car, mu yuchen, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and swiftly got down the car.

“you two go home too. come over tomorrow afternoon,” mu yuchen said and then reached into his shirt pocket and took out a key card before walking towards maple residence.

from afar, he could see the light in the study room on the second floor was still switched on. he subconsciously paused his steps and was bathed in this gentle and silent light. in that instant, he felt the fatigue on him fade away a little more. in the next second, he walked into the house impatiently.

he did not switch on the light in the living room. with the help of the dim light along the corridors, he ran straight for the second floor.

as expected, when he pushed the study room door open and looked towards the table, he saw that the woman had fallen asleep on the table…

xi xiaye had been a light sleeper as of late and would be awoken by any slight movement, so when the man walked in, her sharp senses already noticed his familiar fragrance. she was dazed and thought that it was all part of her dream until she vaguely heard the sound of those footsteps.

she then looked up with her misty eyes to look to the side. indeed, she saw the man’s handsome face and was stunned. quickly, she rubbed her eyes, dumbfounded.

why did it feel like she was looking at mr. mu?

upon seeing her blur expression, the man just stood up and let her examine him while his thin lips curved up slightly. “i’d like to see how long your reflexes are going to take.”

when his familiar voice came through, xi xiaye snapped back to her senses and suddenly held him. “you’re back? why didn’t you give me a call first?”

“i’m still getting home whether or not i call. were you planning to just sleep in the study room tonight?” his low and hoarse voice held a hint of reprimand because he was unhappy to see those obvious dark circles under her eyes.

xi xiaye combed her fingers through her slightly messy hair and stretched. “i’ve been quite overwhelmed with work recently. i keep thinking about a few things. once i lay in bed, i tend to think a lot. you don’t look too good. you look travel-worn.”

mu yuchen glanced at her, his gaze as profound as the sea. without a second thought, he pulled her up. “just pretend it’s because i miss a certain someone that i rushed home.”

then, before she could say anything, his cool kiss fell on her lips.

xi xiaye was bewildered, but she soon reacted and quickly held him, happily responding to the tenderness and passion he offered.
