When he saw the travel-worn and slightly miserable looking figure appear before him, Mu Yuchen was obviously quite surprised as well.
His profound eyes froze a little, and moments after that, there was a faint joy from the depths of his eyes. He did not need to ask anything more.
Because he knew what day it was, he kept calling her earlier, but her phone was switched off, so he had felt uneasy with worry. He did not expect her to suddenly appear before him…
If she had only come over for him, he would feel overjoyed.
Some things that he had been holding back felt an urge to be expressed right that very moment. After a momentary shock, his handsome face instantly became warm as the wind and a faint curve appeared on his tightly pursed lips as he happily stretched out both hands.
Just as he spread his arms, Xi Xiaye immediately dove head-in to his embrace. She brought a slight trembling chill with her, and her thin arms hugged him tightly.
It felt quite surreal like it was a dream. Mu Yuchen was stunned too, then he calmed down and hugged her slightly cold and trembling body. His lowered voice was raspy and sounded like he was reproaching her, “Why are you here? It’s so cold. Don’t you know how to put on more clothes? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?”
However, his tone was a tender one and had a hint of helplessness.
Xi Xiaye shrunk slightly and absorbed all the warmth from his chest. Her hands that circled around his waist tightened while her voice came from his embrace difficultly. “I kind of missed you, so I came…I wanted to give you a surprise…”
Upon hearing that, he chuckled and lowered his head to plant a kiss on her forehead. He said raspily, “You know how to let actions show your feelings now, Missus. You’re getting more and more aware.”
“I came from miles and miles away, but you don’t seem very touched!” She looked up from his embrace at him. You could see the hidden bitterness in her eyes.
“You’ll know how touched I am.” He looked at her meaningfully and then took off his windbreaker to put it on her shoulders.
Xi Xiaye blushed at that gaze of his. She did not continue talking and only silently looked down for a while. “I’m cold and hungry now, Mr. Mu.”
He then chuckled and held down the surge of emotions in his chest. “This is your true glutton showing, let’s go.”
Then, he put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the hotel…
Inside Mu Yuchen’s suite—
Bam!
The door was quickly opened.
Li Si and the rest quietly put the doc.u.ments away.
“Bring some supper over and some clothes for her to change into,” Mu Yuchen ordered.
“Yes, Master!” Li Si answered, then retreated knowingly.
Bam!
The door was closed, then Xi Xiaye looked up at the man before her. She met his tender gaze, and the fireworks in his heart found a gap to be released. She could not care less about being reserved as she immediately put her arms on his shoulders and looked at him quietly, her intentions clear…
“I haven’t recovered from my cold yet…”
They had been married for almost two years now, so they shared chemistry. Mu Yuchen obviously knew what she was thinking about.
“Don’t you miss me?” While she glanced at him shyly, Mu Yuchen could obviously feel her arms trembling slightly around his shoulders. He was about to say something but did not want to. She spoke up again, “Whether or not you miss me, the sons and I miss you.”
Then, she tiptoed and her soft, cool lips accurately caught his thin, indifferent lips.
He could not hold himself back as he breathed in deeply and his breath started to quicken. With the last sliver of willpower in him, he said in a raspy voice, “Didn’t you say you were hungry?”
“Right now, nothing’s more important than you.” She looked up with uneven breathing while flirtatiousness colored between her brows. Once she said that, his rationality crumbled like a dam at sea.
“Where did you learn to say all this?” he asked softly, his gaze avoiding her face.
“I learned it from you…”
“Have I ever taught you that?”
Why did he not remember?
“Mmm…”
True, ever since he met her, he had lost all rationality.
“Alright then, we’ll eat something later,” he said softly, but he did not tell her that later might be very, very much later…
…
As expected, after some wanton affection, the husband and wife fell into a deep slumber.
The next morning, when Mu Yuchen woke up, it was already daybreak.
Last night’s scene flashed in his mind. It all felt like a dream. He lowered his head and subconsciously looked to see the little woman that he was holding tightly in between his arms as his heart softened.
Xi Xiaye’s eyes were still closed, but compared to the night before, her fatigue had faded away a bit.
Her long hair interweaved on her chest like seaweed while her beautiful face was colored with a faint blush. Immediately, he felt…
He took a deep breath, and with considerable willpower, he carefully pulled her out of his arms. He quickly got out of bed, picked up the clothes from the floor, and casually put them over his shoulders before gently patting the blanket that he pulled open back down. Then, he walked to the bathroom.
…
After about half an hour, he changed into a set of clean clothes and walked out of the bedroom all energized. At this moment, Li Si and the rest had already been waiting for a long time outside the suite.
“Good morning, Master!” Mu Yuchen had just opened the door when Li Si greeted him respectfully with two big bags of things in hand. Behind him was an attendant wheeling the dining cart with their breakfast.
“Master, these are the clothes prepared for Missus. The hotel attendants have prepared a few more. Is Missus awake yet?”
Last night, they had prepared supper, but when he sent it over, the Master had told him to go back and rest. He knew what went down, so he left knowingly.
“She’s still asleep. Put the things aside first. Let’s rest for a day today,” Mu Yuchen sat down leisurely on the sofa and said calmly, his voice still very raspy.
Li Si nodded. He knew that the Master was being considerate about Missus. That would be good too since the Master had not rested well for quite a few days now. With Missus around, he would probably take it easier and would not work himself to the bone.
“Got it, Master! Have breakfast first. I’ll get you your medicine.”
