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

Ah Mo.

Xi Xiaye looked at the two who slowly walked in in shock. She remembered that this morning when she had called Ah Mo, he was still in City B. Did he not say he would return tomorrow?

The two of them walked in one after another. Mu Yuchen’s expression was plain as usual, but it looked like there was something on his mind.

“Where did you go?” She took over his windbreaker and frowned to ask. When she touched the windbreaker, it felt wet.

“Took a trip to the outskirts. Have you had dinner yet?” He casually put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the villa. Ah Mo greeted Xi Xiaye too, “Missus!”

Xi Xiaye nodded at Ah Mo. Seeing that they looked travel-worn, she said, “I just returned and showered too… I’ll go make some food for us.”

Mu Yuchen nodded as he turned to look at Ah Mo. “Have a seat. Go home after dinner. Have a cup of tea with me.”

Ah Mo nodded when he heard the invitation. He forced a smile on his downcast face and looked gratefully at Xi Xiaye. “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you, Missus.”

“No worries…”

“Just cook some egg noodles. It’s pretty late,” Mu Yuchen said before walking to the living room, trailed by Ah Mo.

While Xi Xiaye just looked thoughtfully at the two of them, she hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the kitchen.

…

Mu Yuchen sat for a while on the sofa as he brewed the tea while Ah Mo sat across him.

“Lingshi’s flight is arriving at 4 p.m. tomorrow. Your sis-in-law should have told you. What do you think? Don’t you have any thoughts to tell me?”

Mu Yuchen leisurely took out the tea leaves from the bottom drawer. As the tea was brewing, he looked to Ah Mo with a still gaze. Upon seeing Ah Mo’s desolate expression, he silently lowered his gaze and continued, “It’s been about five years… There are some things that we should still face. Do you blame me for it too?”

When Ah Mo heard that, he was stunned. He looked up and fixed his eyes on Mu Yuchen, then he shook his head. “No… I would never blame you, Master.”

When he heard this, a faint smile surfaced on Mu Yuchen’s extraordinarily handsome face instantly. He kept the tea leaves away and said calmly, “I remember that on the first night Grandfather brought you home from the orphanage to the Mu residence, Lingtian rejected you. He pushed you down from the balcony, and you hurt your head. You had to get five stitches… Because of this, Lingtian always felt very guilty and blamed himself. After that, he was very careful with you. I never thought that you and he would become such good brothers and friends…”

When he said this, Mu Yuchen suddenly stopped what he was doing. There were some tranquility and distance in his eyes. He fell silent for a while and finally inhaled. “Actually, I always knew that the reason Grandfather brought you back to the Mu family was mostly because of him. When we were young, you, Lingtian, and Lingshi were closer.”

As Ah Mo listened to Mu Yuchen, he could vaguely feel the faint bleakness in his tone, so he reassured, “Master, you will forever be the Master that I vow my loyalty to!”

With a calm smile, Mu Yuchen slowly leaned over and picked up the boiled water. He leisurely steeped the tea as he said, “You don’t have to keep treating yourself as a servant of the Mu family. The name you are registered with is Mu Lingmo. You and Father are father and son, so legally we are brothers. This is not something that can be changed.

“A person can’t choose where they come from, so you don’t have to feel sad. Your parents might have gone through some trouble so they had to give you up, but when there’s a new life placed before you, what reason do you have to not accept it?”

As Mu Yuchen said this, he finished brewing the tea. He handed Ah Mo a cup. Noticing Ah Mo remaining silent without a word, his handsome brows raised. “Otherwise, why do you think I went to such great lengths of moving you away from me and letting you be in charge of Movie City? With Lingshi’s personality, she said she’s respectful and fearful of me, yet when it comes to you, she completely trusts you. I hope that you can help her laying the ghost of the past to rest. Of course, this would be considered doing me a favor too…”

“Master, I…” Ah Mo’s handsome face stiffened as he looked at Mu Yuchen at a loss.

Mu Yuchen looked warningly at him. He did not want to continue, so he picked up his tea and sipped lightly before changing the topic. “After Qingming, the meeting to bid for the South River project will take place. Qi Kai will be our strongest opponent. Your sis-in-law has put in a lot of effort for this. In the next few days, Father’s end will be getting in touch a lot with Qi Kai’s people too.”

Qi Kai…

When he heard this, Ah Mo’s eyes instantly darkened and his gaze turned cold. He clenched his fists and said, “Master, then do we want to…”

Before Ah Mo could finish, Mu Yuchen had already lifted a hand to stop him from continuing. He said, “We’ll see how it goes first. We must get the South River project. This time, Qi Kai’s collaborated with several companies around. I seemed to sense something odd… I want you to pay attention to the movements of the Qi family.”

When Mu Yuchen said this, Ah Mo’s expression suddenly froze. Vigilance flashed in his eyes while he looked in shock at Mu Yuchen and asked softly, “Master, you’re saying…”

“After so many years of lying low, I’ve been racking my brains to look for them all these years, yet I couldn’t find them. If I don’t get this matter straight, I wouldn’t be happy. In fact, they’ve been silent for so many years. Did you think they were planning to let bygones be bygones? They are planning to trick me. I’ll have to let them die first.”

Mu Yuchen’s tone was rather calm just as his expression was still. No emotions could be seen, yet Ah Mo could sense a sharpness from his tone akin to the chilliness of cold metal striking each other. The thin and unperturbed curtains were pulled down over his master, revealing a motley and towering heart.

Surprised, Ah Mo hesitated for a moment before responding, “Yes, Master, I know what to do. And I don’t blame you about that. It was Lingtian who first…”

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Give it some thoughts first.”

When he saw Xi Xiaye walk out the kitchen with the dishes, Mu Yuchen finished his tea and cut Ah Mo short. He set the teacup aside and stood up unhurriedly.

Noticing that, Ah Mo turned to where Mu Yuchen was looking. When he saw that Xi Xiaye had already set the dining table, he nodded. “Okay, I got it, Master.”

…

On the other end, Xi Xiaye had just finished preparing the cutleries when Mu Yuchen walked over leisurely. The tempting aroma assaulted his nostrils, so he then pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Come over and eat some. I just quickly prepared some noodles.” As Xi Xiaye said that, she pushed the bowl of noodles to Ah Mo.
