Chapter 235: It’s Fine As Long As She’s Fine With Him (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was already late at night when they arrived back at Maple Residence. It was hazy outside with cold weather and it actually hurt a little when the icy cold breeze assaulted their faces.

Xi Xiaye closed the half-opened window before she checked through the fridge and storeroom to see what they needed. After that, she called Sis Wang to get them to go over earlier to clean up and only went upstairs after finishing all of that.

The man was playing Starcraft after he showered. She could hear the theme music of the game from far away. Upon seeing the focused look on his face, she decided to leave him alone and went into the bathroom for a bath instead.

As usual, he had prepared the water for her after he finished.

When Mu Yuchen went back into the bedroom, she was done bathing and was flipping through some blueprint-like documents on the bed. He switched off the lights and the bedroom went dim. Her focus broken, Xi Xiaye suddenly lifted her head.

He went beside her and grabbed the blueprints from her to study them with the dim wall light. They were documents of the South River project. He sighed before leaving them on the chair aside. “You must be really motivated to read these in the middle of the night.”

He slipped beneath the blanket. Before Xi Xiaye could react, his long arms wrapped around her and his hoarse voice reached her. “Since you’re so motivated, why don’t we have some fun ourselves?”

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. His pleasant fragrance made her lose herself again. Suddenly, her restraints were removed as he pressed down onto her. His cold kiss accurately landed on her collarbone…

She took a deep breath and wanted to say something before, but she now forgot all about it. She noticed that she had become less and less resistant to him. Unable to help herself, she was getting more and more used to him sleeping beside her.

Sometimes, when she woke up during the night, without even looking, she would unconsciously reach out to the side until she touched his body, and her tightened chest would relax after she knew that he was still beside her. Then, she would continue sleeping as she held his hand.

Xi Xiaye did not realize that Mu Yuchen was like a drug to her. As days went by, she was slowly getting more and more addicted to him, and it would be too late to stop when she recognized it.

After a while, she relaxed and took off his clothes with her slender arms. She then asked quietly beside his ears, “Have you called Mother?”

“I’ll call her tomorrow. Focus now, Missus!” He said with an uneven tone, then…

They only stopped around midnight and she slept away soon afterward. It was near noon when she woke up the next day. Things were pretty happening downstairs when she came down after washing up. Mu Yinan, Wang Hui, Mu Tangchuang, and Zhuang Shurong were all present. However, what surprised Xi Xiaye was that even Shen Yue was there. To her disappointment, Shen Wenna was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Yue was talking to Mu Yuchen on the veranda and he nodded from time to time, appearing to be in agreement with what Mu Yuchen was saying.

Sis Wang and the others were working in the kitchen while Wang Hui and Zhuang Shurong were looking at a piece of traditional watercolor art together. It seemed like Wang Hui had painted it herself.

“Xiaye, I heard from Chen that you’re handling the South River project. Is that true?” Mu Tangchuang asked Xi Xiaye as she sat down on the sofa.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Yes, Father.”

“The documents from the government should be ready sometime in the middle of next month. You have to make good use of your time now, especially since there’s pretty fierce competition this time.” Mu Tangchuan beamed.

“I got it, Father.” She already knew that Qikai was very capable, and they would probably be their top competitor this time.

Mu Tangchuan wanted to say something again, but as his eyes glanced over to Mu Yinan beside him, he stopped and just nodded.

After a while, Xi Xiaye went outside when she heard the sound of a car engine. Mu Yuchen, who was chatting with Shen Yue, followed Xi Xiaye outside as well.

“Mother?” Xi Xiaye was surprised to see Shen Wenna. She did not expect Mu Yuchen to actually able to convince her to come.

She then looked at the man beside her in surprise. “How did you convince Mother? I’ve mentioned it to Mother before, but she didn’t answer me. I thought…”

“I have my ways.” Mu Yuchen did not answer her directly and just gave her a mysterious smile instead. He then walked in front and greeted Shen Wenna, “Mother.”

Shen Wenna nodded with a smile. “I’m not late, am I?”

“It’s alright. My parents are here, and Father-in-law should be here soon,” Mu Yuchen replied humbly.

Shen Wenna’s eyes darkened slightly. She then drew a deep breath. “Mmm, let’s go in for now.”

Xi Xiaye did not say anything at all as her eyes were focused on observing Shen Wenna’s beautiful face. She did not miss the brief moment of sorrow on her face.

“Xiaye, you go in with Mother first. I need to call Ah Mo. Pass me the phone.” Mu Yuchen turned around and looked at Xi Xiaye.

She was startled for a moment before nodding and handing him the phone before going towards Shen Wenna.

“Is the school going to start the new semester soon?” Xi Xiaye found a topic to talk to her mother about.

“Mmm, I just came over from the school. We are planning to hire several more lecturers this year, so I shouldn’t be as busy as I was last year. I can be more focused on supervising my thesis students,” Shen Wenna replied.

The mother-daughter pair then went into the house.

As Mu Yuchen was about to call Ah Mo, another car arrived and he raised his head to take a look.

It was Ah Mo and the others!

Xi Xiaye and Shen Wenna halted in their steps and looked back when they heard the cars arriving.

The car slowed down and stopped near Mu Yuchen. There was another black car right behind it and Xi Xiaye recognized the person driving as Xi Mushan’s secretary, Ah Hui!

Xi Mushan and Xi Jiyang are here!

Xi Xiaye had this thought in her mind.
