Mama w.a.n.g also took in Dongfang Liuyun’s expression. She sighed inwardly and said somewhat helplessly—
“That’s right. If only Master were here at this time! Even the wedding will have to be postponed. Missus, but don’t worry, the wedding can be carried out immediately when Master returns. President Qi has been meticulously preparing before, and now it’s almost done.”
“Let’s put this matter aside for later. It doesn’t matter whether the wedding is held or not.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not care about this. She already had a child and had received the marriage certificate. She did not think that this wedding could be anything much. She felt that it would be good if it could not be held, so as to avoid tiring herself out. In any case, she did not feel that there was anything to look forward to, now that they had been married for so long, she felt even more indifferent.
“Missus, you have to be more attentive. Master has been looking forward to it for a long time. He just wants to give you a perfect wedding.”
Mama w.a.n.g smiled.
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled and did not say anything. She quietly ate a few pieces of snacks and drank the milk in the cup. Then, she felt much better.
“Alright, you should go back and rest early.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything else.
Mama w.a.n.g nodded and then left the room with the tray.
Dongfang Liuyun naturally could not rest yet. On such a crucial night, she still needed to handle a lot of doc.u.ments. She had not contacted Dongfang Xue either. Tomorrow was very crucial, so she had to be fully prepared. She had to hit the target in one hit, by taking care of Dongfang Rou’er and also taking care of the hidden dangers of the Dongfang Group, she and Dongfang Gan would have a much easier time later on.
…
It was late, in the wee hours of the morning.
When Mu Yuchen returned to Maple Residence, he saw that the light in the study room was still on. He knew that Xi Xiaye must still be awake.
Mu Yuchen frowned and walked upstairs quickly.
As expected, the moment he returned to his room, he saw a woman who was reading a book attentively.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Didn’t I tell you to sleep first?” Mu Yuchen said in a low voice as he took off his jacket.
The sudden sound startled Xi Xiaye who was reading. She quickly looked up and saw the man standing by the door. Her expression softened a little as she took the bookmark on the side and put it into the book. Then, she closed the book.
“Wait, how much did you drink? Why does it smell so strong?”
She could smell the alcohol on him from far away.
Xi Xiaye walked over as she said this and reached out to take the windbreaker from him.
Mu Yuchen’s handsome face was a little red. Qi Lei was not around, and the project in City B was crucial. This time, President Li came over, so he had to be the host.
When he saw her coming over, he reached out and pulled her over. He could not help but feel a little restless—
Could he be blamed?
Xi Xiaye was only wearing a black nightgown with the collar slightly open. The exquisiteness inside was clearly seen, and he just happened to drink. In the private room of the banquet, President Zhang, who was with President Li, called out to a few young women.
They had quite a lot of fun, but he could not. It had to be Xi Xiaye for him before he could do it. He was used to her delicate fragrance, the scent of other women always felt unclean to him, and he would get gooseb.u.mps all over the moment they came close.
He knew very well that he just had to have her.
“What…”
Xi Xiaye just frowned and wanted to say something when he had already lowered his head to kiss her without hesitation. His large hand swiftly reached for her waist.
“Mmm, you smell like alcohol. Go wash up first…”
Xi Xiaye avoided him with some disdain.
“Be good! How long has it been since New Year’s Eve?!”
Mu Yuchen immediately grabbed her wrist and glared at her without any explanation.
When he said this, Xi Xiaye was instantly stunned.
After New Year’s Eve, because it was new year’s, they had been very busy. She even stayed at the Shen residence for a few days and left him alone at home. Then, she visited him on his period. It had been half a month. Looking at his dissatisfied expression, xi Xiaye could only cough a few times—
“Before we got been married, you weren’t like this. Aren’t you the n.o.ble and aloof abstinence type?”
“I don’t care about being all n.o.ble and aloof abstinent. I’m a layman.”
Mu Yuchen glanced at her a little angrily.
This woman was getting more and more impudent recently. It was obvious that he was not going to let her go?
“Why don’t you follow people’s example and get a mistress then?”
When Xi Xiaye said this, Mu Yuchen immediately glared at her coldly. The punishing kiss also came over and sealed her up for a moment. When Xi Xiaye was gasping for breath, he gritted his teeth and said in her ear, “Don’t even think about it! With me around, why are you still so restless?”
Xi Xiaye laughed softly when she heard his sour tone. She quickly said, “Mr. Mu, you seem to be drunk!”
“Can I still do this to you when I’m drunk?” Mu Yuchen replied snappily as his s.e.xy laughter reached her ears.
Xi Xiaye could feel his cold aura mixed with the smell of alcohol. When she wanted to struggle, he moved even faster. He lifted her up by her waist and walked towards the bedroom in large strides.
Xi Xiaye was a little scared now. This man’s words meant that he did not intend to let her off so quickly. She understood him very well.
…
The facts proved that Xi Xiaye’s guess was right.
When she fell asleep, it was almost dawn.
Mu Yuchen himself was also in a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the sky was already bright. XI Xiaye still woke up with a slight rustling sound.
“You’re awake?”
When he saw her hugging the blanket and getting up, the man who was standing by the bed wearing a tie also looked over. He seemed to be in good spirits.
“What time is it? I’m so tired…”
Xi Xiaye scratched her messy hair as she felt a little sleepy.
“It’s 7:30 a.m. You can still take a half-hour nap.”
Mu Yuchen picked up his coat swiftly and answered in a serious tone. You could not tell that the person who was full of b.e.s.t.i.a.lity last night was this guy.
Xi Xiaye glared at him and did not go back to sleep anymore. She got out of the bed, picked up the sleeping robe on the ground, and put it on as she walked towards the bathroom.
“It’s the Lantern Festival today. I have to finish my work as soon as possible. I have to go back to the Shen residence for dinner tonight. Xiao Rui and Wei’er have been going to school for the past two days. I have to pick them up from school in the afternoon,” said Xi Xiaye.
“You go pick them up. I have to go to the airport,” Mu Yuchen replied calmly.
“Who would bother Chairman Mu to pick them up personally? Is Mother back?”
Xi Xiaye was a little surprised as she turned to look at him.
“Mother would have Father to pick her up. It’s Qi Lei.”
Mu Yuchen recalled the call that Qi Lei had made last night.
“Qi Lei’s coming back?”
Xi Xiaye looked at Mu Yuchen with some joy.
