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

He took the coat in her hand, tossed it aside, and pulled her to sit down before he poured her a glass of water.

“A bowl of chicken soup, half a bowl of rice. Sis Wang makes pretty good braised chicken with mushrooms and candied golden sweet potato,” she reported very honestly. She accepted the water and sipped it calmly. “How’s Su Chen? Why is it just Zhou Zimo here? Did something happen?”

“Just that little thing. Elder Su gave Su Chen an ultimatum, telling to quickly get married. Otherwise, he’d arrange a wife for him. Su Chen was unhappy about being ordered around, so he planned to go to the border. Obviously, the elder and Uncle Su wouldn’t agree to that.” Mu Yuchen did not mind telling her about these frustrating things.

As Xi Xiaye listened, she suddenly remembered that time when she went to visit the Su family with Mu Yuchen, and the first time she met Elder Su. “The Su family’s elder has quite a powerful presence. The last time I met him, I thought he was quite scary too.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen just smiled. “Grandfather Su has been controlling the military all his life. Resounding strength is in his bones, and his presence is extraordinary, so it’s normal for you to feel like that. Su Chen himself is slightly intimidated by Elder Su. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused such a scene this time.”

“But Su Chen is really not that young anymore. He’s already 33. Does he think he’s still very young?”

Xi Xiaye sighed as she could not help but lament, “Had it been before, I would’ve thought that it was not too bad being all alone. Unexpectedly, it would be a whole different life after marriage. Eventually, it would be better to have some good prospects. You should go advise your buddy. There are many women around him anyway, so it’s not a bad idea to pick someone suitable.”

“Are you worried about them too?” He smiled as he took her water and finished it in a few gulps.

“Actually, I find it quite hard to believe. You lot seem to be preoccupied with other things. By the time you try to catch up, other people would already have toddlers,” Xi Xiaye muttered with a shrug.

“Before being properly prepared, we wouldn’t have gotten into marriage. Su Chen and ZImo are the same. This is a once-in-a-lifetime matter. How can we treat it lightly? We have to settle down for a few years and be enlightened on some things before we have the courage to face it. In fact, just as Su Chen said, these things come by not luck and not searching, just like us,” he smiled faintly and explained.

Xi Xiaye pouted a little. “Didn’t we also take the traditional route of a blind date? If you don’t go out and try, how are you going to meet anyone? Okay, quickly wash up. I’ll go get some clothes for you. You reek of alcohol. You stink! Don’t get into bed before you wash off that stink!”

When she saw him leaning against her, she pushed him away and slowly got up. She shot him a look of disdain, and then quietly walked to the bedroom.

When Mu Yuchen heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly. “Missus!”

This girl seemed to be feeling more and more disdain for him recently. A few days ago, she even complained that he did not know how to coax her.

Mr. Mu very obediently returned to the bedroom and took the sleeping robe from him before going straight into the bathroom.

After over 20 minutes, when he came out of the shower, Xi Xiaye was already in bed and leaning against the bedhead while flipping through some books.

He dried his hair with a towel as he walked over gently. He sat down beside her as he tried to steal a peek. He asked softly, “What are you reading? You look very focused.”

“Some poetry and prose collection for prenatal education… The doctor says that we can start next month already. You are a father, so you’ll have to do this more in the future. You must speak more to the child. That way, the baby will find you more familiar,” she said as she handed the book to him and took his towel. Then, she got up slightly to help him dry his hair.

Obviously, Mr. Mu enjoyed this very much. He casually flipped through the book, and indeed it had many graceful verses.

Mu Yuchen was not too well-versed with these graceful verses, so he flipped through it for a bit, and then looked at the books on the bedside table. They were everything Xi Xiaye had bought. He really had been negligent as a father-to-be with this aspect. He thought for a bit, then said, “It’s not very convenient in your condition. Just look through this, and even if you don’t do these, I trust that our child wouldn’t be dumber than other children. We’re not trying to cultivate a prodigy. As long as the child grows up healthy, that’s enough.”

“Of course, my child has to be both healthy and smart. Why do I find that you don’t quite care about our child?” She looked at him in alarm.

He could not help but laugh aloud. “Nonsense! I’m just worried that you wear yourself out. As you wish then, I’ll do my best to cooperate.”

“That’s more like it… I want to visit Sis Lan in a few more days. Perhaps she could tell us more about what happened. I keep feeling like she must know a lot about Aunty. In fact, she has a very peculiar relationship with Aunty. Today, she unintentionally mentioned Aunty, and I saw that her gaze was solemn like she had a lot weighing on her mind.” She looked up with her clear eyes that sought his opinion.

“Don’t go. I’ll think of a way. It’s not very convenient for you right now. You should frequent the hospital less.”

Obviously, he did not want to let her look for that woman again to avoid a similar encounter as the last whereby she only spoke half of what she knew. The incomplete answer would only be a barrier.

Since he said that, she certainly was not willing to say more, so she quietly dried his hair for him.

Mu Yuchen flipped through the book, and his gaze flickered from dark to light. After he thought about it, he then suddenly said, “Xiaye, if you meet Mr. Wen again, would you be able to recognize his voice?”

When Mu Yuchen said this, Xi Xiaye was instantly stunned. A light flashed in her twinkling eyes as she asked a little excitedly, “Did you already find Mr. Wen?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen shook his head. “I’m still not certain. That’s why I’m asking you.”

Xi Xiaye then lowered her gaze to think about it. “I’m not too sure because back then, I think that that wasn’t his real voice. I couldn’t hear anything.”

Mu Yuchen sighed as he nodded and reached out to pat her head. “It’s fine. I’ll think of other ways.”
