Mu Yuchen could obviously hear what she was implying, and a faint smile was displayed on his face.

“Don’t worry. Perhaps all those will soon pass. Don’t worry about me.”

“Sometimes, I find that you’re quite silly, Mr. Mu,” she said as she suddenly reached out to hold his handsome face. “Our son is looking more and more like you. I hope that you can be like him too. Be more relaxed and happy.”

“Our son is our son. How could his old man live a more relaxed life than the son? But based on his naughty personality, we’ll probably have lots to worry about. It’s a good thing that Xiao Rui’s sensible.”

“They all say that naughty children will make it big in the future as long as they don’t become like those naughty sons of rich families. If they can be like you, I’d be very satisfied,” Xi Xiaye quickly expressed her thoughts.

“Am I that excellent to you?” He squinted with some anticipation at her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course, Mr. Mu, you’re a considerate Prince Charming. Of course, you’re excellent. Hey, tomorrow night is CEO Hua of Hua Heng’s birthday. Come with me...”

“Every time you compliment me with hidden motives, I know you want something!”

“Are you unwilling?”

“It’d be my honor.”

...

It was a dreamless night, and they had a good sleep until daylight.

The next morning, when the first glimmer of dawn cast a mesmerizing soft light toward the boundless horizon, Xi Xiaye slowly woke up in Mu Yuchen’s arms. The man was still sleeping soundly.

She carefully pulled his arm away from her waist, then quietly got up from the bed. After she washed up, she went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

On this rare occasion, he slept in and she did not have the heart to wake him up.

Breakfast was not elaborate. She just prepared simple fried eggs and porridge with a few plates of side dishes.

When Xi Xiaye was done, he was still nowhere in sight. She thought about it before going upstairs to call him.

She pushed open the door to the bedroom, and indeed, he was still curled up underneath the blanket fast asleep. Xi Xiaye turned to take a look at the clock on the wall and realized that it was almost 10 a.m., so she walked over and pulled the blanket away.

“Quickly get up and wash up. It’s time for breakfast. Since we have time today, I’ll treat you to some health maintenance!”

As she said that, the man, who still had both eyes shut earlier, immediately opened his eyes. His dark eyes examined Xi Xiaye and he said softly, “I was more looking forward to my wife giving me health maintenance...”

“In your dreams! Get up! I’ve already given the office a heads-up. We’ve been busy with many things recently, but here I am caring for you, and you won’t do me the honors? Quickly get up! I’ll get you your clothes! What are you looking at? Hurry up!” Xi Xiaye was annoyed at him as she lifted a hand to smack him.

“Missus, I think that you have the potential to become a tiger mom—Ouch! I’m up!”

When the pillow flew over, Mu Yuchen quickly turned over and rolled off the bed before rushing straight for the bathroom.

...

Mu Lingshi did not expect to bump into Gu Qiwu in the garden behind Hospital T.

She did remember Mu Yuchen telling her about Gu Qiwu being hospitalized for something about gastrointestinal bleeding, but she heard that it was because he drank too much. Obviously, he had been drinking over Doris’s matter.

Mu Lingshi was there to check on the growth of her child. She had been in a poor mood for the past few days and was worried that it would affect her pregnancy. Meanwhile, Ah Mo was still listening to the doctor.

On the quiet path, Gu Qiwu was being helped by Ah Yong. When he saw Mu Lingshi, his grave and stern face turned rigid. He had a mixed expression as he watched Mu Lingshi silently, and when he saw that she stayed quiet, he called out softly to her, “Lingshi!”

Mu Lingshi’s expression was as calm as water. She only took one look at him before looking away. Then, she slowly lowered her head and turned to walk away. She had nothing to say to Gu Qiwu. In fact, she did not want to see this man at all.

When he saw Mu Lingshi walk past him, he subconsciously reached out, wanting to hold her, so Mu Lingshi was forced to stop.

“Can I help you? Mr. Gu?” Mu Lingshi looked up coldly and asked indifferently. Her voice had no hint of temperature at all.

“I don’t have any ill intentions, and it’s not that I don’t want to acknowledge you, but you were really too impulsive this time. You...”

“Impulsive?” Before Gu Qiwu could finish, Mu Lingshi glared at him with ridiculousness in her gaze. “Are you mad at me for accidentally offending your precious wife? Or are you blaming me for not letting your wife tell you about her pregnancy herself?”

An indescribable struggle surfaced on Gu Qiwu’s face as he said softly, “Lingshi, you know that’s not what I meant.”

“If that’s not what you meant, then what did you mean?” Mu Lingshi laughed coldly and lowered her gaze apathetically, scoffing with disdain.

“Do you hate me?”

“No, I used to think that I should hate you, but right now, none of it is important, and I’m too lazy to hate anyone. You and my so-called mother are just a joke to me. Sometimes, I feel like the blood flowing in me is extremely dirty. It’s such a tragic thing to be blood-related to people like you.”

When Mu Lingshi said this, she forced a smile, breathed in, and looked up at Gu Qiwu. “I really wished that the person who had died was you, and not my innocent grandmother. At this point, I don’t wish for you to do anything good. I just hope that you can let go of my brother. This request shouldn’t be too difficult, is it? Can you do that?”

“Lingshi, Mu Yuchen and I—”

Before Gu Qiwu could finish, Mu Lingshi had already coldly mocked him, “You don’t have any grudges with Brother. I don’t care if you’re going after the Mu family’s assets, or if it’s really for Mother or Lingtian, but all that shouldn’t be taken out on Brother! Throughout this entire process, the worst sins you’ve committed and the person who you hurt the most is Brother. Don’t you understand? I don’t understand why all of you keep putting the blame on others for your own mistakes. Don’t tell me that you don’t even have the guts to admit to your mistakes!

“I’m grateful that I grew up in the Mu family. Otherwise, I would’ve been influenced to have your vices. I would’ve been so ashamed that I’d kill myself! Right now, you’re the same as your daughter, Gu Lingsha. Today I will just say this here: if you’re going to harm my brother and sister-in-law on purpose, including anyone else from the Mu family, I won’t let you go. Even if I die, I will protect them. I’m not my mother. I’ll go to the extreme and do anything!”
