Su Nan cleared her throat as she put on a smile and said to Xi Xiaye quietly, “First and foremost, you need to go to people in the Mu family like his grandparents and parents. Get them on your side. Creating a good relationship with them is the very first step. I’m now practically sisters with Ruan Heng’s mother. If Ruan Heng were to say something bad about me, his mother would be angry for my sake!”
Hmm, the mother-in-law, huh?
Xi Xiaye then frowned as she thought about Zhuang Shurong…
She did not need to do that, did she? She felt that Zhuang Shurong was an understanding and easygoing person. Even though she seemed pretty strict, she treated her very well. Moreover, Mu Yuchen and her were not staying with them, so it was not really much of an issue.
“Also, I think you’re a really honest person. You’ll always keep quiet when you’re unhappy. I’m sure you’re the same when you’re with Master Mu, am I right?” Su Nan’s eyes saw through Xi Xiaye and teased her.
Xi Xiaye stared at her. “So, you’re smart enough to guess how I’d react now, huh?”
“Of course, how long do you think I’ve known you for? But let me tell you, no words can be as effective as ‘you naughty thing!’. Believe me, this is the conclusion I’ve gotten after trying so many times. You need to learn how to act all coquettish. Women who know how to do that have the best lives!” Su Nan said with a grin. She did not forget to turn around and peek at Ruan Heng who was busy at the moment, afraid that he might hear her.
Xi Xiaye choked because of what she said!
After some coughing, her eyes locked onto Su Nan. “You naughty thing?”
“Yes! What? It’s the truth! If you tell Master Mu that and a.s.sume the position of a foxy, little woman, I’m sure his heart will melt instantly! Try it!”
“No!” She was too embarra.s.sed to say that to Mu Yuchen.
“Really! I’ve tried it with Ruan Heng so many times before!”
…
It was 10 p.m. when Xi Xiaye arrived back at Maple Residence after leaving Su Nan’s place. She had dinner back at Su Nan place since her friend did not want her to eat alone at home.
She had been going to bed pretty early in the past few days. Since she felt pretty tired, she fell asleep very quickly.
The whole villa was quiet as stars filled up the black sky outside. The breeze was light and the night seemed beautiful.
The curtain inside the room was not closed, so the light from the stars scattered all over the floor while the scent of the flowers from the backyard floated all around the room.
She had quite some free time these few days, but without the man around, she felt a little odd like something was missing since she was used to having him sleep beside her for months. She could not sleep well without him, but after several days, she gave in to exhaustion and finally fell into a good, deep sleep.
After some time, as she was still in her deep slumber, she unconsciously heard the sound of the door opening. She somehow saw the man watching her beside the bed. After a while, the figure went missing, and then she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom…
She thought she was dreaming again since she had been dreaming about him for the past few days.
Not too long after that, she could feel the blanket being pulled away, and his exclusive scent was all over her. She woke up instantly, and before she could react, she was already inside his arms.
“You’re back!” She could not help but shriek after realizing it was not a dream. Her eyes flew open wide.
With the help of the dim wall lamp, she saw Mu Yuchen’s face before her eyes like the quiet, dark sky with stars inside them.
“I saw you were asleep, so I didn’t call you, but the way you slept was really comparable to some animals.” He tugged at the blanket a little as he spoke softly, seeming tired.
“I haven’t been sleeping well. When did you come back? You should’ve called me first…”
She rubbed her eyes and fell into his arms. The familiar smell was back, and she could feel the odd void inside her heart being filled.
He hugged her and left a kiss on her forehead. “I rushed back after I was done with stuff over there. Why don’t you seem excited? Someone sent me a message and told me that she misses me…”
Xi Xiaye’s eyes were like the stars in the sky as she raised her eyebrows and replied him cheekily, “Who sent you that? Your admirer?”
“What a heartless woman!” He ranted helplessly as he ran his fingers through her long, silky hair. He tucked her hair behind her ears, then touched her beautiful face. “You seem to be pretty used to my absence. Are you?”
Her eyes darkened when she heard him. Her tone was soft as she looked at him in the eye. “Nope, I ate bread and instant noodles for breakfast and dinner. No one would prepare the bath water for me… and the house is empty. I’m actually a little scared…”
“Didn’t I ask Sis w.a.n.g to come over? Did she not come?” Mu Yuchen frowned.
“I asked her to go back. She caught a cold and needed more rest,” she replied softly.
“Mmm? Let me see… Did you lose weight? It was tough for me to fatten you up.”
He wrapped his hand around her waist, but she backed off slightly and stared at him. “I didn’t lose any weight! The weight I put on some time ago didn’t go away. Summer is coming soon., I don’t think I can wear my qipao now and it’s all your fault! I think we should start going vegetarian…”
“Don’t wear it if you can’t then. It doesn’t matter to others if you have curves or not. I’ve brought back a lot of clothes this time. Li Si will be sending them over tomorrow, so you can take a look and see if there’s anything you like.”
Before she could react, he untied her sash and went down on her. His cold lips met hers.
“You… don’t…”
“It’s been so long. Don’t you miss me?” He raised his head a little and looked at her.
“Xi Xiaye… I don’t care if you miss me or not. I missed you…”
He then ignored her and went down on her!
Xi Xiaye was helpless against this pervert! She was not even done talking yet!
