He looked at her silently for a while, then handed her a tissue and gave her his hand.

Accepting the tissue, she gently wiped away her tears as she put her hand into his, letting him pull her up.

“You’re like a little girl. Why are you crying?” His muffled voice was heard. It sounded as if he was softly reprimanding her, yet there was no hint of criticism at all. He frowned as he looked down at her while he lifted a hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

Sniffling, she covered half her face with the tissue and blinked her moist eyes at him. She calmed herself down before saying slightly raspily, “I don’t know. It’s just that when I saw Grandpa like that and saying those things, plus the way he left all lonely, I felt a little sad.”

When he heard that, Mu Yuchen fell silent. After a while, he reached out to pull her into his arms with his large hands gently holding onto her frail shoulders. “Don’t be sad. If you want to thank him, then spend more time with him. That’s the best way to repay him.”

She leaned against his sturdy chest and nodded vigorously. “Mmm, spend time with him...”

“Alright, that’s enough. How did I not realize that you’re made of water? You’ve become more melancholic recently,” he chided softly as he took off his coat, and put it over her shoulders. “It’s a little cold tonight.”

His heartwarming temperature instantly warmed up her shivering body. She reached out to pull at it then said with a raspy voice, “Isn’t that all because of you?”

When Mu Yuchen heard her accusation, he immediately raised his handsome brows and felt quite wronged. “How is this my fault?”

She blinked hard and said, “They say one pregnancy makes you stupid. Besides...”

What a reason! He coughed lightly and immediately held her by the shoulders. There was no more arguing about it. He would just go with what she said and admit that it was his fault!

“Alright, I’ll admit that it’s my mistake! I sincerely admit to it!” He lifted both hands in good sport and chuckled.

Upon seeing that, she laughed through her tears. “Please! I don’t see a hint of sincerity in your eyes at all.”

“Sincerity is in the heart. Do you think you can see it? I’ll let Dr. Zhong take a look at your hand. It’s all wet now! Even if there’s a three-year drought, Maple Residence probably won’t run out of water!”

There was a hint of tenderness on his smiling face while he held her shoulders and walked slowly forward.

“Can you eat tears? How did I not know that you’ve become this annoying?!”

“Annoying? You didn’t say that last night.”

“You...”

...

The husband and wife walked for quite a distance along the street when they passed by the florist where Mu Yuchen bought a bouquet of lilies that had a faint fragrance.

Xi Xiaye liked them very much. She lowered her head to sniff it, then looked at him. “A lot of women like little flowers like these. I remember that Mother likes these orchids too. The last time I went back, I saw Father getting her a bouquet.”

She hugged him comfortably as they walked forward. He said, “Father likes those flowers. Mother used to like tiny daisies. The tenacity of those flowers is quite similar to her, yet Father looks like an elegant scholar with the aura of an orchid.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Mmm, you’re right, Mr. Mu. When you grow older, will you be like your father? Not only will your charisma not reduce, but in fact, you’ll become even more charming and elegant. Actually, I think he looks quite handsome!”

“As handsome as he may be, he’s not yours! Father’s a politician. You haven’t seen him at work. When he’s being imposing, even I would be intimidated by him,” Mu Yuchen replied softly.

Xi Xiaye did not doubt that. Otherwise, given Mu Tangchuan’s current position and Zhuang Shurong’s status, would they not have skills up their sleeves?

“Mmm, but to me, you’re the most handsome person in the world!”

“My girl, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!” Mu Yuchen teased her.

“It’s Pan An1!”

“You’ve seen Pan An?”

“Of course not!”

“If you’ve never seen him, then why would you compare me to him? Can he even compare to me?”

“Mr. Mu, I realize that you’re the most narcissistic person in history!”

...

The husband and wife bantered back and forth as they walked towards the car.

When they returned to Maple Residence, the sky had already turned dark. Dr. Zhong and Sis Wang put a new dressing on Xi Xiaye’s wound again, and the scar on her forehead was gradually recovering.

“Thankfully, it wasn’t infected. Just change the ointment on time and you’ll be fine, but you still can’t get it wet. You have to wait until it forms a scab. Meanwhile, try not to use your hands too much.” Dr. Zhong gave a few simple reminders, then left. Sis Wang tidied up and left the room to go downstairs to prepare dinner.

Xi Xiaye looked at her hands before crawling over to him beside her. Then, she gently took the bags next to them as she smiled. “Mr. Mu, put on these clothes. I want to see you in them. Come on!”

He looked up slowly from the newspaper and stared in confusion at the bags in her hand. His handsome brows went up as he said in shock, “You bought stuff for me too?”

She pursed her lips and smiled as she stuffed the bags to him and said, “Quickly try them on!”

Mu Yuchen found a large white shirt in one of the bags, but it looked like a couple’s outfit with the one she was holding, so he paused and raised his brows even higher!

“Hurry!” As she nagged him to quickly change into it, he put down his documents and unbuttoned his clothes. In a rush, he took off his black shirt and put on the new shirt.

Xi Xiaye frowned and squinted at him. After that, she rolled her eyes and took her own shirt to the bedroom. When she came out after changing, she realized that he had continued to read his newspaper again. The moment he heard footsteps, he looked up at her, yet in that single look, from the depths of his eyes, he could not help but find her stunning.

The white mid-length blouse just went past her thigh. The collar was open, showing off her exquisite collarbones, and outlining her slender figure. With her black waterfall of hair at the shoulders and her elegant face, she looked like an extremely seductive angel.

She caught sight of the way he was entranced and immediately giggled. “What do you think? Do you find that your wife still has some good looks!?”

His eyes were filled with a doting, tender light as he chuckled. “My wife is remarkably beautiful!”

Even if she was not, he would not have dared say anything...
