Ji Zitong looked much more feminine now compared to before. It was not hard to see that she was living a great life with Su Chen. She was smiling much more and was a happy little woman.
“If only we shared similar experiences as they did, maybe we could’ve become best friends.” Xi Xiaye smiled and suddenly thought of Su Nan…
“A lot of my friends say that friends.h.i.+ps between women are much more fragile than men’s. I do think Chairman Mu seems very understanding toward you though. Do you think of him as your best friend?”
“It’s different for everyone, I guess. Some relations.h.i.+ps take time to grow. It’s hard to find someone whom you can call a soulmate, and I do feel fortunate that I’ve found mine.” Xi Xiaye’s eyes were gentle as she spoke. She could relate to it very much.
She had lost everything two years ago, and now she had him. It was as if she had the whole world to herself. He would always be her world…
Thanks to him, she discovered her emotions and did not have to put up a brave front anymore.
She did not have to be mature and could just be herself. She could appear weak and vulnerable. Everything would be fine as long as they were happy since the opinions of others did not matter to them.
She was glad that she had not given up on herself back then. A person could go on as long as hope existed.
Ji Zitong beamed in agreement. “I feel like you can be a relations.h.i.+p counselor now. Your words are pretty motivational.”
“Motivational?”
Xi Xiaye shook her head. “Please don’t be like me. I’m not ambitious and I’m not the kind of person to achieve great things.”
“Why does a woman need to achieve great things? Su Chen said most men like their women gentle and easygoing. He always comments on me being stern…” Ji Zitong laughed.
Xi Xiaye chuckled as well.
At the same time, the three men were in the pool below.
Zhou Zimo glanced at the ladies chatting happily above and laughed. “Su Chen, Ah Chen, your wives must be talking about the two of you up there, don’t you think?”
Su Chen and Mu Yuchen glanced at their wives too. They then averted their gaze back at Zhou Zimo.
“I didn’t know you were spying on them. How do you know what they’re talking about?” Su Chen asked.
“Married women always talk about their husbands anyway.” Zhou Zimo wiggled his eyebrows cheekily.
“As if you know women that well!” Su Chen threw Zhou Zimo a suspicious glance. “Zimo, do you have so much free time that you’ve started researching women in general?”
“Su Chen! You’ve been sarcastic towards me all the time ever since you got married. I can’t take this anymore! You were just the same as me last year!” Zhou Zimo threw his towel towards Su Chen.
“Fine, I’m talking business right now! Stop putting me in a bad light when I’m looking out for you!” Su Chen grabbed the towel and told Zhou Zimo, “Several young traffic policewomen were transferred over from the headquarters. They are quite pretty. I can’t go after them since I’m married. Do you want to…”
“No!” Zhou Zimo rejected Su Chen’s proposal before he even finished.
“Why? Didn’t you ask me to scout for potential candidates for you?” Su Chen looked at Su Chen in confusion.
“You know that I don’t like the police.” Zhou Zimo’s expression darkened.
“Are you still angry about getting those summons?” Su Chen chuckled.
Zhou Zimo did not reply and just swam away.
Mu Yuchen was quiet the whole time. He got out of the pool and grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist. “I’ll leave you two here. Li Si should be here soon.”
…
Su Chen and Zhou Zimo came over that morning and had lunch at Maple Residence. Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo were going to Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s wedding together.
Night soon arrived. Dinner was served in Maple Residence. Su Chen and Ji Zitong left after a light dinner while Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo were prepared to attend Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s wedding banquet.
Inside the bedroom, Xi Xiaye stood before Mu Yuchen and helped him to fix his tie. “Why aren’t you bringing me along? Am I so bad that you can’t let anyone see me as your wife? Am I gaining weight? Or am I getting ugly?”
“You’re the most beautiful person in the world. Who’d say you’re ugly?” Mu Yuchen glanced at her helplessly. “I’ve been bringing you to public events most of the time, haven’t I? This is not just any event, so just stay home with our son, okay?”
Xi Xiaye pursed her lips and chuckled. “I’m just kidding. You’re losing your sense of humor. Be careful out there. Zimo’s waiting for you…mmm…”
Mu Yuchen pressed his lips against her before she could finish her sentence. He patted her head when he backed off. “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine. It’s just a wedding banquet. We might be back a little late, so don’t wait up for me.”
He then walked outside.
Xi Xiaye was astonished for a moment before following him out…
“Let’s go!”
Zhou Zimo, Li Si, and the bodyguards had been waiting for a while by the time Mu Yuchen arrived downstairs.
Mu Yuchen walked past the living room and reached for the doork.n.o.b as the others quickly followed him.
They had already left when Xi Xiaye went downstairs. She took a deep breath by the staircase as she prayed for everything to go well!
It was getting late, so Qi Lei gave them a call when they were having dinner.
