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

Chapter 1988 - Anticipation (4)



Chapter 1988: Anticipation (4)

Sometimes, Master Mu really felt like he did not understand her thoughts.

When Xi Xiaye saw his helpless look, she could not help but laugh. She turned away and did not look at him.

“It’s been so many years. I still can’t act in front of you. When I act like this, even I can’t stand it. Mother said that she was the same in front of Father before. Every time she wanted to act girly, Father would always tell her off until she was totally refuted.”

Xi Xiaye thought about the small talk she had with Zhuang Shurong and could not help but smile.

“Mother told you all this?”

Mu Yuchen glanced at her in surprise. In his impression, his mother, Zhuang Shurong, was such a noble and strict person. Moreover, she was a cold person. She would not normally say such things, right?

Moreover, the matter between her and Mu Tangchuan seemed to be very ordinary. There was nothing much to say except that Mu Tangchuan usually respected her and would ask for her opinion on many things.

It was the kind of husband and wife that others said were respectful to each other.

“Of course, why else would I tell you?”

Xi Xiaye looked at him proudly.

“To be honest, I feel that it’s really quite a pity for mother. She clearly liked her previous career so much, yet now she’s making such a sacrifice for us and for this family. If it were up to me, I don’t think I’d have such courage.”

Xi Xiaye sighed. “I think that mother is the most intelligent and elegant woman in this world. She knows what she wants more than anyone else. I really admire her views on love, family, and even her career.”

“Is she really as good as you say?”

Mu Yuchen did not expect Xi Xiaye to have such a high opinion of Zhuang Shurong.

“Of course, everyone’s way of life is different. I can’t ask for anything in Mother’s way.”

“I was worried that you and Mother wouldn’t get along. After all, your personalities…”

Mu Yuchen felt that his worries were laughable now.

“In the future, if you can be like mother, the children will definitely be at ease.”

“Anyway, I won’t be a bad mother-in-law.”

Xi Xiaye squinted at him.

Mu Yuchen chuckled softly and finally did not say anything more.

Sunshine New City, Qi Qiming’s residence.

Dongfang Liuyun rushed over after work. When Qi Lei brought the two children over, Dongfang Liuyun was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

When he saw the two children, Qi Qiming could not hide the excitement in his eyes. His tensed face showed a rare hint of relief.

The two children were very sensible. Mu Zirui had been by Shen Yue’s side for a long time, and his chess skills had improved a lot. Hence, he decided to play chess with Qi Qiming. Qi Wei’er was watching from the side.

Qi Lei poured warm water for the two children. Seeing that they were playing so intently, a hint of gentleness appeared in his dark eyes. He decided not to disturb them and turned to the kitchen to help Dongfang Liuyun with the housework.

“Why aren’t you accompanying them?”

In the kitchen, Dongfang Liuyun, who was busy, asked in surprise when she saw Qi Lei walk in.

“They’re playing chess with the old man. Xiao Rui isn’t used to strangers either. I was worried that they wouldn’t be used to it, but I didn’t expect them to be get along so well with the old man Qi in just a few words.”

Qi Lei smiled.

Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment when she heard this. After a while, she smiled. “Xiao Rui is quite a smart child. Mu Yuchen and Xiaye have taught them very well, especially Wei’er.”

Dongfang Liuyun knew about Qi Wei’er’s situation before. For her to be able to get this far, this brave little girl must have suffered a lot.

“Does she have some memories of her parents?” Dongfang Liuyun asked worriedly when she thought about this.

“At that time, Wei’er was already sensible and knew a little. We mustn’t let this matter become a shadow in the child’s heart. I’m also very responsible for Qi Feng and Lingsha’s deaths.”

Speaking of these things, Qi Lei felt an indescribable pressure in his heart, “I only hope that she can live a simple and happy life. We also need to give her some proper guidance. I believe that she will not become like her parents.”

“Qi Feng is…”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was a little probing.

Qi Lei took a deep breath and calmed down for a long time before continuing with his actions, “He knew that he wouldn’t be able to escape that disaster, so he took poison to commit suicide later on and died in my arms. At first, I thought that after seeing this, I would’ve felt numb, but…”

“It’s really hard to let go of certain things. People always become stronger or weaker because of their emotions. Since they can’t resist it, they can only let nature take its course.”

Dongfang Liuyun sighed softly. Then, she continued to stir-fry the dishes in the pot.

“When I went to pick up the children just now, I bumped into Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye who were also going to pick them up.”

“Why didn’t you call them over for dinner?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.

“Instead of inviting them over for dinner, I think Mu Yuchen would definitely be more willing for me to let them have a candlelit dinner together.” Qi Lei teased.

“You say that like you can read other people’s minds.”

“Want to express your admiration? My mind-reading is pretty good?”

“Nonsense! Hurry up and wash the dishes!”

“Yes, Sir!”

After nearly half an hour, the dinner was finally ready. The sky outside had long since fallen silent.

When Qi Lei came out of the kitchen with the food, he could hear Mu Zirui’s hesitant and dissatisfied voice coming from the living room—

“Grandfather Qi, what you’re doing is wrong. Players can’t go back on their words. You have to have the courage to spend a lot of money. My father said that unless the person sitting in front of you is a little woman, you can only give in to her. I treat you as a very powerful opponent. Isn’t that right, Wei’er?”

“Xiao Rui, can’t you just let Grandfather take these two pieces?”

Qi Qiming’s low voice was heard as well. There was actually a hint of flattery in his tone!

That’s right, it was that flattery tone!

“Xiao Rui, just let Grandfather have two pieces. Mother even said that we have to respect the elderly and love the young. When we’re on the subway, we have to give up our seats for the elderly…”

Qi Wei’er’s low voice was heard as well.

Then, when they heard the silence, Mu Zirui said helplessly, “Well, since you’re Grandfather, I’ll just give it up. Grandfather Qi, it won’t happen again, you’ve got poor chess character…”

“That’s right, Xiao Rui. Even if you let him have two pieces, he won’t win! Grandfather, you’d better get ready to let us ride the horse!”
