The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1363 - Father and Son 1

1363 Father and Son 1

“What about me? Is my body the best among us three? The manliest? When the three of us walk on the streets, everyone can tell that I’m the leader of the crew because I carry the aura of a leader! Ah Chen is the strategist. As for Zimo, he’s just a little footman at most. This opportunist is most likely to become a traitor!”

Chief Su straightened up his back shamelessly. When this was brought up, he could not help but ridicule Zhou Zimo while he was at it.

Upon hearing that, Ji Zitong only laughed out loud. She looked at the man who was still intoxicated in his own narcissism with disdain. “Alright now, you can be less narcissistic. I think Mu Yuchen looks like the real king and Zimo is the strategist, while you…you’re a rash general who doesn’t use his head much. As long as Mu Yuchen says to go forward, you’ll just rush ahead like a rash, silly person!”

“Nonsense! Is Ah Chen manlier than I am? That b*stard has almost become a slave to his wife. As long as Xi Xiaye says no, he won’t dare come out. With that behavior, can he even be a king?”

Su Chen was not convinced!

“I’m too lazy to fight with you. Quickly rest now,” Ji Zitong ma.s.saged the s.p.a.ce between her brows tiredly as she said.

“I want to go to the study room to handle…”

Her tone was not courteous. Before he could finish, she had already cut him off. “Isn’t there a tomorrow? Rest now! Send me to work tomorrow!” Ji Zitong shot a glance at him. Those dark circles of his were already so obvious. Why was he still trying to show off?

“Didn’t I just get you a new car?” Su Chen frowned and asked.

“Are you not willing to send me?” Ji Zitong stared at him and said coldly.

Chief Su then sighed and pushed his sleeves up as he walked over and quickly said, “I’m willing! Of course, I am! Extremely! Why wouldn’t I be? To send his wife to work is every man’s bounded duty! Of course, I wouldn’t be unwilling. Right, Missus, Christmas is coming soon, and tomorrow’s a rest day, so I’ll go out shopping with you and get you some new clothes. What do you think?”

Master Su spoke as he slid underneath the blanket while his restless hands reached for Ji Zitong’s waist and accurately found the sash around her.

Ji Zitong obviously knew what he was trying to do! This fellow would only pretend to obey her at times like these! She quickly held down his hand and rolled her eyes at him. “Rest earlier tonight. You have to wake up early tomorrow, and we’re both a little tired.”

Su Chen looked at her with a sigh and didn’t miss the fatigue on her face. Then, he turned to lie down beside her and pulled her into his arms.

“Let’s sleep then,” he said, then the lights in the room were quickly dimmed.

…

As the lights gradually dimmed, the night quickly grew dark, especially on such a misty, rainy night.

Mu Yuchen was up to date on his end. He almost knew about Doris’s situation immediately, and of course, there was the situation in New York too…

When he received Zhou Zimo’s call to inform him that Alex had been arrested, his anxious heart was finally slightly relieved. Inhaling, he turned his head, and with the dim light by the window, he could vaguely see that his wife sleeping soundly in his arms.

He watched her quietly for a while, then carefully pulled her arms that circled his waist away before he got down the bed quietly. Then, he covered her with the blanket again. He fixed his sleeping robe before slowly leaving the bedroom.

The midnight wind was very cold, especially at such a time. The gusts of wind seemed to have brought a sharp knife with it in a way that hurt their faces.

Mu Tangchuan walked in through the cold. He had just stepped into the living room when from afar, he could vaguely smell the faint scent of cigarette smoke. Under the dim lights, he quickly found his son who was sitting on the living room sofa while leisurely smoking as he drank tea.

“You’re not someone who likes to smoke, my son.” Mu Tangchuan walked over in a few huge strides and sat across Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen calmly flicked away some cigarette ash as he bent down to pour Mu Tangchuan a cup of tea that he had just steeped before he said with a lowered voice, “Just pa.s.sing some time. Why are you up so late? Will Mother let you off for not going home right away?”

“I told her that I’ll be working overtime for a few days. Your mother’s not a tiger mom or anything, so I don’t have to be so worried. Where’re Xiaye and Xiao Cheng?” Mu Tangchuan smiled gently, his voice filled with love.

“Who’s like you at this hour? I just woke up from my sleep too.” Mu Yuchen handed Mu Tangchuan some tea. “Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. The weather’s a little cold outside.”

Mu Tangchuan took the cup and calmly took a sip as he said, “It’s quite cold. Another one or two degrees down and it’ll probably be the same temperature as when it snows. Those people are too inefficient. We waited for a long time before they finally managed to clean it up a little. I’ve taken a look. It’s roughly like that, and you can go through it for yourself. I can’t believe that it was really her. She probably knew about your aunt and Gu Qiwu’s relationship for a long while now! This woman is great at holding out. It’s all thanks to your perseverance. Otherwise, Lingtian…”

Mu Tangchuan’s voice turned gloomy towards the end while he handled the case file to Mu Yuchen.

“All these years, you’ve been blaming yourself for this. I can understand how distressing it must have felt, just as how I didn’t get to save your aunt. The fact that we could be a family is a blessing from many lifetimes. I’ve taught you this before. Based on the fact that you could get to where you are today, I’m proud of you as your father. When you were younger, I’d always worry that you wouldn’t understand. However, knowing that you are now someone else’s father and that you can teach the same values to Xiao Rui and the rest, I finally understood that you actually…”

As Mu Tangchuan spoke sincerely, Mu Yuchen listened silently. He took the case file but did not open it right away.

Eventually, he paused and looked up to meet his father’s eyes. “As for you and Mother, I’ve always respected you very much. I can consider and understand how it’s like standing in your shoes. To me, a person’s lifetime is meant for repeated introspections and continuous growth. I’m very grateful for the environment of growth that you’ve built for us. As your son, it’s my honor too.”
