Chapter 1227 - Dream-like Reunion! 2

1227 Dream-like Reunion! 2

After a few days of rest, Mu Yuchen seemed to have recovered decently from his cold, but once he felt better, even with Xi Xiaye watching him, he could not stay idle. He began to leave early and return late again.

Xi Xiaye would not intentionally ask him about how things were going, but she could see from between the gradually smoothened out space between his brows that the matter was making positive progress, but he was happy to share these things with her too.

Like right now.

On the soft sofa in the suite, Mu Yuchen was casually lying down with pajamas on while Xi Xiaye wore a comfortable sleeping gown too. She was massaging him to loosen up the joints and he was enjoying it thoroughly.

“How’s it? Does it feel comfortable?” Xi Xiaye massaged him in a balanced manner.

Mu Yuchen’s dark eyes were gently shut as he seemed to enjoy himself. “Mmm, you can go harder. Missus, your skills are pretty good.”

“Duh! I could even open up a health center, and do some tui na[1],” Xi Xiaye went along and said.

“You can think about it, but as your husband, I’ll be booking you for 365 days a year and 24 hours a day,” he said, then looked up at her.

Xi Xiaye then coughed lightly. She almost forgot that this fellow was a possessive one. Usually, when she went to relax with him, before she could say anything, he would already ask for a female attendant for her. Although Su Nan used to say that the men had better skills and were stronger, she sadly had no chance of enjoying that anymore.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Unhappy? You seemed to like looking at those foreigners. Are they as handsome as your man? This morning at the bar, you almost lost your composure,” he reprimanded softly and unhappily.

“No, I didn’t! I didn’t say anything, did I? I just had a second look at Steven. We already talked about this when you just came back.”

“Just a second look? Was it that simple? You just took a second look at him? Why do I seem to remember that you were very talkative? You even poured him two more cups of drinks. Do you think I’m blind?” he scoffed, and before Xi Xiaye could respond, he continued, “Steven’s not just anyone. He’s not a good person either. He’s gotten divorced twice, and already has two children. He’s going to be 40 soon. In fact, he’s got a new girlfriend right now, so you don’t stand a chance. There’s no use taking a second look at him.”

“I just think that he was quite humorous. He’s got very refined facial features and is quite good-looking, so I’m just admiring him. Why are you jealous? Besides, he’s not my type. If we are really going to talk about looks, he’s far from you.” Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him, and then the force of her hand increased slightly.

Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen’s handsome face flashed with a faint smile. He cleared his throat and said, “Good.”

“How long are you planning to stay here? I’m probably not going to be returning so soon while you don’t have that many more days off. How about you tell Uncle Lan to put aside the company matters for now? Stay here for a while longer. When I’m done with these things, I’ll bring you around to the nearby city.”

Even though it sounded like he was asking, his tone was very certain.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since she was here, he obviously did not want to let her go home so soon.

He had to admit that these past few days, he felt much more relaxed with her by his side. At least, he did not feel as heavy and burdened as he did the days before.

Xi Xiaye paused. She thought about it, then nodded obediently. “Mmm, sure, I’ll stay a few more days. I’ll also go visit Su Nan and Ruan Heng in Los Angeles. Then, I’ll just go home straight from there.”

“I’ll go with you,” he answered simply, then suddenly held her wrist gently before swiftly sitting up and pulling her into his arms. Xi Xiaye went along to lay her head on his lap, and at the same time, helped him fix his loose belt as she spoke, “This morning, I just talked to Su Nan on the phone. She said that Ruan Heng seemed to be regaining consciousness. He can move his eyes, but he’s not entirely conscious. Sometimes, his body moves. Right now, I’m a little worried about whether he will experience amnesia after such a severe injury.”

Mu Yuchen raised his brows and looked down at her busy hands before he asked with a lowered voice, “Did the doctor mention that he might lose his memory?”

“No, but I saw that TV shows often suggest that. They say that after a car accident, when the head suffers severe trauma, victims might easily lose their memory or something,” Xi Xiaye said worriedly.

“That’s just television. It’s not that easy to lose your memory. The doctor’s report shows that all his functions are normal, so there’s nothing to be worried about, but since we’re talking about this, I have to warn you that Qi Feng’s condition has been improving recently. His legs are starting to regain sensation. If nothing goes wrong, he can probably stand again. So, Qi Lei...”

When Mu Yuchen said this, he suddenly stopped.

Xi Xiaye paused before she continued, “Wouldn’t that mean things might be worse for Qi Lei? He’s finally had a chance to shake up Qi Feng. Qi Qiming’s thoughts are hard to guess too. If Qi Feng can really recover, it wouldn’t be a good thing for Qi Lei.”

“That will have to depend on Qi Lei then. We’ve helped him fight for a lot of time,” he said calmly.

“That’s true. We’ve done all that we can! Mr. Mu, I always feel like you care more about him than you do about me!”

“What nonsense? Since when have I neglected you?” He looked at her unhappily.

Xi Xiaye thought about it, then poured out all her thoughts. “When we just got married, you’d always ask me to go to the beauty salon and sometimes watch a movie, but right now, you don’t seem to have these thoughts anymore. You only accompany me after I’ve mentioned it to you. I don’t see you spending time doing things for me, especially after we had our son. Haven’t you ever heard that if life lacks the occasional surprise, it’ll be easy for a married couple’s feelings to fade?”

It was a classic move of showing obeisance after getting something she wanted!

“Faded feelings? Who told you these misconceptions? Since when have I failed to satisfy you? Just within these past two days, do you think our feelings have been fading?” He glanced sadly at her. “You should spend less time with whoever’s filling you up with these thoughts. That’s too narrow-minded and overly suspicious. It’s going to poison your thoughts.”

“I’m not talking to you about that!” Xi Xiaye glared at him angrily. She propped herself up to sit and met his unhappy gaze. “You’re becoming more and more vulgar.”

“What do you mean vulgar? Why didn’t you say that last night?” he said with a serious face, “Otherwise, how would we have our son?”

“B*stard!”
