The sudden voice startled the two of them who looked over at the entrance and saw Mu Yuchen walking in.
“Where’s your grandfather?” w.a.n.g Hui asked when she did not see Mu Yinan anywhere.
“He’s playing Chinese chess with Grandfather Liang. I’ve pa.s.sed the fish to the servants.” Mu Yuchen walked towards them as he glanced over at Xi Xiaye.
“Great, they can prepare it later. I have to deliver your grandfather’s medicine to him. I forgot to remind him to take his medicine this morning. He even said himself he had a stomachache yesterday which he has forgotten all about.”
w.a.n.g Hui took out a little medicine bottle and grabbed a gla.s.s of water before she went out. Mu Yinan had a poor stomach, and w.a.n.g Hui was always concerned.
“What do you want to eat?” After w.a.n.g Hui left, Mu Yuchen went over and grabbed a gla.s.s of water for her.
She took the gla.s.s of water from him and then said quietly, “Grandmother told me you went fis.h.i.+ng with Grandfather. Let’s have sweet and sour fish. It’ll help with my appet.i.te… Mr. Mu, I kind of feel like eating instant noodles.”
“We can have the sweet and sour fish, but not the latter.” He rejected her without any hesitation as he took his coat off.
“Just one tiny bowl!” She made a meek hand gesture as she took his coat and left it onto the sofa.
“Not even a taste of it. We’re having several days of holidays. Is there anywhere you want to go?” He put his arm over her shoulder as they sat down.
“I want to take a stroll on the moon.” She rolled her eyes at him.
He smiled. “Naughty, aren’t you?! That stuff is unhealthy. Junk food is bad for the body. By the way, I have something to tell you.” He looked at Xi Xiaye in the eye squarely.
“What is it?” she asked as she raised her eyebrows and stared at him.
Mu Yuchen pushed the gla.s.s of water on the table further to the center as he lowered his eyes and said, “I’ve just received news. Xi Xinyi had an accident last night and delivered prematurely. The Han family is happy that she gave birth to a boy. They’re probably having a grand full moon celebration. Based on Xi Xinyi’s recent performance, I guess the Han family will accept her as their daughter-in-law.”
Xi Xiaye was stunned but nodded after a while and spoke in a calm tone, “That’s lucky for her… I remember they didn’t have a banquet when they got married. I suppose this full moon celebration will act as their wedding banquet as well, wouldn’t it?”
Han Yifeng…
The more he tried to escape, the more his fate worsened. It was practically impossible for him to end her relations.h.i.+p with Xi Xinyi at this point. Not only was their marriage was holding them together, but there was also their child.
Xi Xiaye suddenly found the whole situation ludicrous.
Who would have expected a pair of loving couple to end up like this? Judging by Han Yifeng’s att.i.tude, he probably would not try to repair his relations.h.i.+p with Xi Xinyi anymore. Sustaining a marriage like this would only make both parties suffer.
Xi Xiaye sighed and suddenly raised her head to look at him. “Say, we won’t be like them in the future, will we?”
He smiled and patted her shoulder. “Your man isn’t as n.o.ble and virtuous as someone. Though I don’t like this phrase, I suppose it can be applied here. If one day, you actually become like Xi Xinyi, the first thing I’d do would be to review myself. I must’ve not done enough to satisfy you. However, I’m sure the chances of it happening to us is zero. Otherwise, I’ll just do naughty things with you.”
Xi Xiaye’s heart softened when she realized what he was trying to say. She then pushed him away. “Alright, go and cook now. I’m hungry!”
…
At the same time, in a ward in Hospital T.
The news of Xi Xinyi’s delivery was spread throughout the city already. Almost everyone within the industry knew that she had given birth to a son for Han Yifeng of the Han Corporation.
Xi Xinyi’s name was rarely seen in the entertainment industry ever since her scandal was exposed. However, news about her never really died out due to the collaboration between Yueying and Qi Kai. In addition to that, the Han family had always been popular, so the ma.s.s media would not miss any opportunities.
Many people sent flowers and gifts the day after she gave birth. Even her subordinates came to visit her. Finally, the situation inside the room calmed down after the doctor warned them to be quiet.
Xi Xinyi was lucky to have given birth to a boy for the Han family. With that, even Elder Han acknowledged her.
Although they were a registered couple, they never had a wedding ceremony together. After that, it was also delayed because they were busy, so she was delighted that she might be able to have one.
She had said it before. There was no way Han Yifeng could leave her so easily.
However, Han Yifeng never showed up anymore ever since the day she gave birth. Yue Lingsi informed her that he visited the child several times, but he had never once stepped into her room. His wanting to avoid her was as clear as day.
Yue Lingsi was really dissatisfied about it. She was also unhappy with Han Yifeng and Huang Ziyao’s att.i.tude outside the operating room the day before, so she then decided to tell Xi Xinyi about it.
“Xinyi, now that your child is born, I believe we’re still fortunate that you’ve given birth to a boy. The Han family’s att.i.tude changed instantly. Elder Han now knows it’s impossible to kick you out now. Otherwise, the public will definitely condemn them. Now that Yueying is doing well, your grandfather and uncle aren’t angry at me anymore, so things can go back to how it used to be.”
Yue Lingsi beamed happily and grabbed Xi Xinyi’s hand intimately, but Xi Xinyi glanced at her coldly and retracted her hand.
Yue Lingsi’s expression froze as she looked at Xi Xinyi for a while before saying, “Xinyi, things are getting better now. We can still… The Han family’s att.i.tude was horrible before. Yesterday, Huang Ziyao was really rude to me outside the operating room, and Han Yifeng spoke to me with a terrible att.i.tude!”
