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

Qi Lei got up and took a glance at Xi Xiaye with a gaze that looked so gentle yet complicated.

Although Qi Lei and Xi Xiaye shared similar experiences, Xi Xiaye might not be able to connect with his true self. Even though he appeared cheeky all the time, he kept a lot of secrets to himself.

Xi Xiaye never really thought about that. She did not want to find out too much about him due to some other reasons as well, but there was also the relationship between Qi Lei, Mu Yuchen, and her, so…

Qi Lei chuckled when he noticed the complicated glance Xi Xiaye shot him. “I’ve told you about it before, and I’m sure you understand it as well. Speaking up about it can make you feel better at times, so take responsibility for your feelings. You don’t have to feel pressured. We’re still good friends. Mu Yuchen is a great man and you deserve him, but at times, I’ll be here when you need me.”

He seemed different than before, and his eyes seemed genuine.

“Some relationships aren’t meant to be possessed but to be treated as faith. I want to live my life in peace. I want to find someone to live this life with, just like Mu Yuchen and you. I thought I’d be able to live however I want if I don’t care too much, but…I started feeling like this ever since I met you. Sadly, the person you chose wasn’t me, and you’re not the right person for me as well.”

“I’m just a normal woman. I’m not as good as you think. I—”

“It doesn’t matter if you think you’re good or not. It’s enough as long as the other person thinks that you are,” Qi Lei interrupted Xi Xiaye before she could end her sentence, “Xiaye, sometimes I truly hope that we could’ve met each other earlier. Mu Yuchen was just a little faster, so he won the jackpot.”

“Everyone has a dark side they don’t want to show anyone. He might not be the real winner in life. You might not understand what burden he has to bear on his back. Qi Lei, you’ll be able to find a genuine relationship, so don’t reject it when it comes to you. Happiness requires you to discover new things on your own.”

She took a deep breath as she got up.

Qi Lei froze for a moment before nodding. “I suppose he has to be tougher than me. Though I don’t want to admit it, he’s a better person than I am.”

“You’re great too. Listen to me. After things settle down…”

“I know, I will! Goodbye—”

Qi Lei went to open the door when he suddenly saw a figure blocking his way just as he was going to head out. He then noticed Mu Yuchen casually standing by the door with a relaxed expression on his face.

Qi Lei was dumbfounded to see Mu Yuchen right there as he stared at him blankly.

Mu Yuchen gave him a meaningful glance and spoke up moments later, “Second Master Qi, aren’t you always very generous towards women? Have you given my wife some houses or maybe even cars?”

Stunned, Qi Lei’s face turned beet red instantly. He took a quick glance at Mu Yuchen and decided to escape right away. “I didn’t say anything. I told her that because I want you to know that the person I like is your…ah—”

Mu Yuchen kicked him before he could finish his sentence. Qi Lei groaned in pain and swiftly fled without even looking back.

“You little…! It’s no wonder you’ve never gotten a girlfriend,” Mu Yuchen mumbled as he looked at Qi Lei running away from him.

Xi Xiaye was surprised to see the man outside her office door. She seemed a little embarrassed knowing that he had overheard their conversation. Then, she squinted at him and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Can’t I be here? Otherwise, I would’ve missed that passionate confession. Aren’t you happy that you’re still popular in the market?” Mu Yuchen looked at her with those deep-set eyes of his.

Xi Xiaye’s face turned red as she took a peek outside and felt relieved when there was no one around. She quickly dragged him inside and closed the door.

“It’s not a big deal, is it? It’s not like it’s your first day knowing what he was thinking. We’re innocent. Don’t overthink in your head…mmm—”

Before Xi Xiaye could explain herself, he grabbed her into his arms and his lips met with hers…

She was stunned for a moment, then she embraced him.

Mu Yuchen stopped after a while and took a deep breath as he put an arm on the wall behind her. “Seems like you enjoy hearing those words, huh?”

“What—” She glanced at him as she wrapped her arms around his waist. “I’d be much happier if you said them to me instead. I’ve never heard any confession from you although we’ve been married for so long.”

“I did when we just got married and during our wedding,” he looked at her and said.

“I don’t feel any jealousy from you right now. Isn’t it normal for a man to feel jealous in a situation like this? Don’t you find me attractive anymore?” Xi Xiaye frowned.

“Nonsense! Do you think Qi Lei would still fall for you if you weren’t attractive? Fortunately, he’s smart enough to know that he’s no match for me, so I’m at ease now. Only people with no confidence would feel jealous, and we already have a son together, so you can’t go anywhere.”

He chuckled as he acted confidently.

Xi Xiaye seemed slightly defeated. “I realize I’m not as popular anymore ever since we got together. I was one of the most popular ones in Glory World back then…”
