Chapter 1443: Chapter 1443: Secret

The living room was quiet.

Yu Ma lowered her head, silent.

Mu Yan looked at her, becoming more certain of her suspicions. She calmed her emotions and said, "Yu Ma, you should know what kind of person I am, after living with me for so long. Silence won’t help you hide anything."

Yu Ma raised her eyes and met Mu Yan’s clear gaze. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Normally, the young master doesn’t like having someone serve him nearby. I only come to the house to clean when he’s not home."

Afraid she might not understand, she continued, "It’s only after he married you that I’ve been qualified to stay at the villa often, to look after your daily needs."

Mu Yan’s gaze deepened, "So, these past few days, when I wasn’t home, you didn’t come here either?"

"Yes, the young master doesn’t like anyone invading his territory," Yu Ma explained quietly.

She glanced at Mu Yan and tentatively asked, "Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Mu Yan’s heart moved, and she said, "Nothing really, I just noticed the house was a bit messy."

"I’ll clean up right away," Yu Ma quickly said.

Mu Yan felt her face was overly busy and stopped her, saying, "No need."

"Hmm?" Yu Ma looked at her, puzzled.

Mu Yan realized her reaction was a bit off and corrected herself, "You clean downstairs, and I’ll clean upstairs. I don’t like others entering my personal space either."

"Okay, I’ll get busy then."

"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded, watching Yu Ma enter the utility room.

Suddenly, she closed her eyes, feeling chaotic inside.

From Yu Ma’s words, she had already confirmed her suspicion.

Thinking of how she had deliberately been sulking with him these days, leaving him alone at home, she regretted it deeply.

She took out her phone and called Jiang Jingheng again. Fortunately, his phone was on this time.

Before long, he answered the call.

"Awake?" His deep voice came through the phone.

For some reason, upon hearing his voice, Mu Yan had a sudden urge to cry.

She controlled her emotions and responded, "Hmm."

"Have you had breakfast?" he asked.

"I have."

"Why does your voice sound a bit hoarse? Is it a cold?" His voice suddenly turned serious.

"No," Mu Yan quickly said, "I’m fine. Where are you now?"

"At home, getting ready to go to the company."

Mu Yan pursed her lips, wanting to say he lied.

But then she thought about his reason for keeping her in the dark and didn’t dare to expose it.

She asked, "During the days I wasn’t home, did you feel uncomfortable inside?"

"Hmm?" He seemed confused.

Mu Yan didn’t know how to express it, afraid of accidentally letting something slip.

Thinking for a moment, she said, "I’m your wife. No matter if it’s joyful or upsetting, you must share it with me. Even if I did something wrong, don’t always give in to me. If you don’t tell me, how will I know?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, you’re fine and couldn’t possibly do anything wrong. If there’s anything amiss, it’s that you’re so perfect that you make me yearn for you," he said shamelessly.

Mu Yan was amused by his shamelessness, "Go away, you’re shameless."

Suddenly, both fell silent.

Mu Yan was reluctant to hang up but didn’t want to disturb his work, saying, "Pick me up for dinner at the hotel tonight."

"Alright."

"You go ahead and get busy; I’ll hang up now."

Mu Yan hung up the phone and saw Yu Ma busy. She got up and went upstairs.

Logically, she should pretend she knows nothing, but he’s her husband, and she hopes to share everything with him.

Therefore, she can only uncover his mask.
