The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 2119 - You're My Son (3)

Chapter 2119: You’re My Son (3)

When Mu Yuchen pushed the door open and walked in, Mu Zicheng was sitting on the sofa flipping through a magazine.

“Father?”

When he saw Mu Yuchen walk in, Mu Zicheng was naturally a little surprised.

Mu Yuchen nodded and sat down next to him. The medicinal wine in his hand was placed on the table in front of him as he turned his head to look at him. Then, he lowered his gaze to look at his legs that were hidden under his pajamas. Suddenly, he raised his hand to knock, Mu Zicheng immediately sucked in a breath of cold air—

“It hurts, Father!”

As he cried out in pain, he subconsciously reached out to gently rub it.

“Do you still know how to feel pain? If you continue to act like this in the future, I won’t bother with you even if you’re crippled.”

Mu Yuchen glanced at him unhappily. “What are you still standing there for? Roll up your pants legs. Let me take a look.”

Only then did Mu Zicheng throw down the magazine in his hand. He bent down and carefully rolled up his pants legs.

He saw that both of his knees were slightly bruised.

Mu Yuchen frowned, then reached out to take the medicinal wine in front of him. He poured a little and dipped it in. “It’ll hurt a little. Bear with it.”

Mu Zicheng nodded and gritted his teeth.

Mu Yuchen’s movements were not light, he rubbed it until it was hot. Mu Zicheng had been holding it in as well. In addition to the pain on his arm, he almost could not hold it in anymore. His eyes were glistening.

Mu Yuchen looked up at him. He sniffled again and explained, “I’m not crying. It’s just a reflex.”

“Alright, even if you’re crying, I won’t laugh at you.”

Mu Yuchen smiled.

“I’m not crying.”

Mu Zicheng emphasized.

Mu Yuchen looked at him and the smile on his face widened slightly.

“Alright, rest early. It’s almost 10p.m.. You still have school tomorrow. What’s this?”

Mu Yuchen put away the medicinal wine and unexpectedly found Mu Zicheng’s little box that seemed quite expensive. He immediately took it over and opened it to take a look—

Inside was a set of carved gold dominoes…

“This thing… Where did you get it?”

Mu Yuchen knew how expensive this thing was. One look and he could tell that it was custom-made.

“Father, this is mine!”

Mu Zicheng immediately reached out and wanted to take it back.

However, Mu Yuchen raised his long arm and avoided him. His dark eyes stared at him and his tone was a little serious. “Where did you get it from?”

This time, Mu Zicheng finally told him about the matter with Gu Liufeng.

Mu Yuchen’s handsome brows furrowed even deeper. He could not help but reach out and knock Mu Zicheng’s head. “If you do this again in the future, I’ll punish you to kneel and face the wall to reflect on your mistakes!”

“Father!”

“Don’t you know why you’re wrong?”

Mu Yuchen reprimanded him sternly, “Mu Zicheng, do you think that you’re lawless because I usually don’t discipline you?”

“Father, I’m not…”

“You’re not what? If you’re wrong, then you’re wrong. Why are you making excuses? Is this how I’ve taught you? People who make excuses are afraid of taking responsibility. Are you such a person?”

Mu Yuchen’s dark eyes locked onto Mu Zicheng’s little face that resembled him.

Mu Zicheng was stunned. Although he was still a little unconvinced, when he thought about it, it seemed to be the case. He then lowered his head and kept silent.

“Alright, reflect on this properly. I’ll confiscate these things!” Mu Yuchen said without any hesitation. He closed the box and stood up.

“Father! Don’t! It wasn’t easy for me to get it. I’m still counting on it…”

Mu Zicheng stood up nervously and pulled on his father’s sleeve.

Mu Yuchen turned to look at him. “What are you counting on it for? Do you still want to bargain? Go wash up and go to bed.”

Mu Zicheng then let go of his hand and put his hand on his forehead gloomily. He looked defeated. “Got it. Goodnight, Father!”

“Mmm.”

Mu Yuchen responded and then left his son’s room.

…

Xi Xiaye coaxed her daughter to sleep and tidied up. When she went back to her room to take a shower, it was already past 10p.m.

The bedroom was still empty. The man should still be in the study room.

After some thought, she poured a cup of warm water and carried it into the study room.

Just as she pushed the door open, she saw the man sitting in front of the desk from afar. He was currently holding something in his hand and looking at it.

Xi Xiaye walked over and when she got closer, she realized it was carved gold domino. This was a good item, it seemed like Mu Yuchen had one before, but he had given it away. This one was a little smaller than the previous one, but the design on it was definitely worth examining.

“Where did this come from?”

Xi Xiaye was naturally a little surprised.

When he heard his wife’s voice, Mu Yuchen suddenly smiled and handed the domino over. “That, you’ll have to ask our son.”

“Xiao Cheng? This is his?”

Xi Xiaye was startled. She put down the cup in her hand and reached out to take it.

Mu Yuchen nodded, “It’s indeed a good item, but one look and you can tell that it’s a gift from the newly promoted king of gamblers to his grandson. This item is very precious. The king of gamblers spent a huge sum of money to create this special birthday gift. If he knew that our son had gotten his hands on this through tricks, it wouldn’t be good.”

“Why is this child becoming more and more ridiculous? Can this thing be taken casually?”

Xi Xiaye knew how serious the matter was, so she frowned.

“It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry. I’ve already talked to him, he’ll be more careful in the future. But we can’t keep this, arrange for someone to return it to the Gu family tomorrow. Remember to prepare some generous gifts. The king of gamblers seems to be at the Gu family’s these few days. Be careful, don’t let them leak the news. Otherwise, you’ll make a mountain out of a molehill again.”

Mu Yuchen thought about it and instructed her.

Xi Xiaye thought about it and nodded. “I’ll call Xiao Mei now and ask her to prepare the gifts tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll let Li Si handle it.”

As Mu Yuchen said this, he took his phone from the table and gave Li Si a call. After giving a few simple instructions, he put the phone away.

“I’m going over to Su Chen’s place tomorrow. I’ll probably be back later tonight. Aren’t you going back to the Shen residence? You can let the children to go straight back to the Shen residence.”

Mu Yuchen seemed to have remembered something and suddenly instructed.

“Su Chen? Is something happening over there?”

Xi Xiaye was a little puzzled.

“Have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the anniversary of Grandfather Su’s death.”

Mu Yuchen’s voice had some lament with it.

Over the past five years, a lot of things had happened. Grandfather Su and Grandfather Zhou had pa.s.sed away one after another. Of the few elders, only Shen Yue was left now.

It was precisely because of this that Xi Xiaye knew that Grandpa Shen Yue was lonely, so she tried her best to spend time with him.

The old man was also in his twilight years now, and his mental state these past two years was not as good as before. He always told Xi Xiaye that he had lived enough and would let nature take its course.

When Xi Xiaye heard these words, she naturally felt extremely sad.

“I got it. You go over then.”

After a long while, Xi Xiaye said this.
