She always spoke so justly.
Actually, it was not that she was worried about him. Instead, the more she cared for him every day, the more she was worried about how long this happiness would last. She wanted to just stick to him for the rest of her life…
When he heard this, Mu Yuchen’s heart instantly melted. To him, nothing made him happier than hearing his own wife saying that she cared about him.
“Alright now, don’t overdo it. You’re already the mother of two children. Why are you still so affected? If I was really thinking about it, I wouldn’t have waited until now. I have standards that are much too high, and I only picked you out of the entire world. Are you not confident about yourself, or do you not trust me enough?”
“There are too many uncertainties, so I can’t help but worry. After every storm when I think that we could live peacefully again, it doesn’t seem to turn out that way. It always…Alright, I’ll stop talking. Don’t frown now…”
When she saw that he frowned, she stopped rambling.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry,” he patted her head as he consoled her.
Xi Xiaye then nodded. “Just go with the flow then, but I still can’t sleep,” she said as her starry eyes suddenly lit up and look meaningfully at the man.
Upon seeing that gaze, Mr. Mu’s lips immediately flashed with a telepathic smile. With one hand holding her, he switched off the lights and the entire room fell into darkness.
A while after, soft moans could be vaguely heard in the darkness…
He conquered her eagerly, much more eagerly than he usually was.
After he tossed her around, she suddenly recalled something and said to him through panted breaths, “Mr. Mu, Xiao Cheng is a year old now, and we have been going at it. Why do you think we still haven’t gotten any good news yet? I see other people being pregnant almost every year or every two, three years. It should be time for us to have the same news too, shouldn’t it? Su Nan has also been pondering over whether to have a second child or not.”
When she finished, the man paused slightly above her. Then, in the next second, he continued with even more passion without answering her question.
Xi Xiaye did not have half the mind to think about it further as she fell into a daze.
The next morning, Mu Yuchen woke up slightly later. When he had washed up and walked downstairs, Sis Wang had already prepared breakfast.
“Master, have some breakfast first. Otherwise, it’ll be cold soon. Is the Missus awake?” Sis Wang delivered a freshly-made soya drink as she asked.
Mu Yuchen sat down leisurely and said with refreshed spirits, “Wake her up a little later. We slept quite late last night.”
“Alright, Master,” Sis Wang smiled, then responded, “Right, the Madam called this morning to tell you to leave the Young Master at the old residence. Since the two of you have just gone back to work, you’re probably quite busy, and she’s coincidentally on break for the next two days.”
“Mmm, pack some things to bring over later. We’ll be quite busy in the next few days over here.”
“Yes, Master!” Sis Wang responded. She wanted to say something more when the doorbell suddenly rang.
She quickly went to get the door while Mu Yuchen continued to have his breakfast slowly.
It was Li Si who came rushing in happily.
“Master!” His voice could not conceal the happiness as he rushed up to Mu Yuchen in a few huge strides.
Mu Yuchen frowned and slowly stopped what he was doing. He turned to look at Li Si, catching sight all of the happiness on Li Si’s face. Then, his lowered voice was heard, “What great thing has happened now? Has Qi Qiming regained consciousness?”
Li Si took a deep breath and Mu Yuchen hinted at Sis Wang who very knowngly poured Li Si a glass of water…
Li Si took it courteously, finished it in a few gulps, and then calmed himself down before he said, “Master, great news!”
Li Si went closer to Mu Yuchen and said softly, “Earlier, Ah Bo called from Los Angeles saying that they’ve caught the assassin, but in the process, he fell down some stairs and broke his legs. He’s fine though. Right now, he’s still in a coma. When he wakes up, they should be able to get something out of him. Also, he’s been captured by the authorities over there for now, so there’s no need to worry that he’ll run off. Ah Bo has already given special instructions. Master, you don’t have to worry!”
When Li Si said that, Mu Yuchen paused what he was doing, and his exceptionally handsome face flashed an unfathomable smile as he slowly set the chopsticks and bowl in his hand down. He took the glass of water from the side, had two sips, and then abruptly got up to leisurely take the towel from Sis Wang to wipe his hand before walking towards the sofa.
Li Si walked over too.
“Master, this is great news. In fact, Ah Bo has already gotten people to lock down the news, doing our best not to startle anyone else. Wang Qin’s incident was a thorn in both Master Qi and Missus’ hearts. Right now, we just need to get this information from the assassin and the truth should surface very soon!” Li Si said brightly.
God knew that to catch this person, they had really put in a lot of effort.
“Right, Master, the Minister should have found out by now as well. The police have gotten wind of some of the news.”
Mu Yuchen sat down coldly, thought about it, then said in a lowered tone, “We have to be careful. Get Ah Bo to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing from the assassin. Gu Qiwu isn’t willing to bring up this assassin anymore, but of course, it will be hard for him to rid himself of all connections. It’s actually easy to guess who he’s trying to protect.”
When Mu Yuchen said that, Li Si fell silent for a moment then nodded knowingly. “Master, I got it! I’ll get people to check Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng right away and see if they’ve got any links to this assassin.”
“Mmm, I’ll let you handle that. Send Ah Bao to assist Ah Bo right away. As for Qi Qiming’s thing, leave it to Qi Lei. He should know what to do.”
“Alright, Master, I’ll get it done right away! Oh right, Wang Chun got four bodyguards for Qi Lei this morning. He’s worried that someone will do something to Master Qi. I think it doesn’t seem right. Could this have been something that Qi Qiming arranged for beforehand? Qi Feng didn’t seem to have beefed-up security!” Li Si asked puzzledly.
Mu Yuchen thought about it then said in a gruff voice, “That’s between them brothers. From now on, we’ll let Qi Lei and Qi Feng handle matters between each other.”
“Master, what about Qi Feng?”
“For certain grudges, they need to resolve it themselves. Don’t underestimate Qi Lei. He’s not that dumb.”
