Chapter 603: Reluctance (4)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Yuchen did not plan to stay very long. He was aware that even though Qi Lei looked like a playboy, he was still a very dedicated person.

With regard to the past, he did not want to talk about Gu Lingsha, Qi Feng, or even Lingtian anymore. If possible, he did not want to recall these memories.

Even though he had always wanted to stay out of all that happened between them, life had a way of rolling him into this mess.

He did not tell Qi Lei that the person who had actually stayed with the Gu family then was not him, but Lingtian.

Since he could not break off the engagement, he was not one to delay things either. Without staying, he confronted Gu Qihao strongly and then stormed off. Meanwhile, of course, the Gu family would not let such news be leaked, so they just announced to the outside world that Mu Yuchen had stayed for a while with the Gus to develop his relationship with Gu Lingsha when actually it was just to protect the Gu family’s dignity. Because of this, Lingtian had even fought with him and stayed with the Gu family while he secretly returned to City Z, and considered himself having done Lingtian a favor.

After that, Gu Lingsha rushed over from City B with Lingtian and stayed at the Mu residence. He was still busy familiarizing himself with Glory World matters then. Where did he have the time to care about such irrelevant people?

Nonetheless, it must have been at that moment when he became their chess piece. From then onwards, Lingtian slowly began to hate him as a brother.

He kept thinking about it, but then suddenly he did not want to anymore. He was worried that the answer he would find afterward would be one that hurt his heart, so…

Mu Yuchen sighed, and suddenly his head felt slightly heavy and achy. He lifted a hand to hold his forehead and wanted to soothe his temples when a faint fragrance suddenly slowly came from behind. He was just about to turn to look when a pair of cool and gentle hands were already on both sides of his temples, ma.s.saging him with gentleness and the appropriate force.

“You’re frowning like an old man. Who made you unhappy now?”

The soft voice contained concern. He slowly shut his eyes and circled one arm around her thin waist. His heart instantly softened as he quietly enjoyed the moment and softly responded, “It’s nothing.”

“I thought you were Superman, that nothing could trouble you.” She sighed softly and quietly applied more force which eased his tense expression.

He did not respond immediately. The husband and wife fell silent for quite a while before he said, “You can.”

When she heard his reply, Xi Xiaye stopped what she was doing, then chuckled softly. “Should I say then that this is a blessing I earned from my past eight lives?”

He laughed softly without a word and allowed her to sit on his lap as his hand hooked around her frail shoulders. He fixed his eyes on her with a gaze that was gentle but a little overbearing. She blushed shyly and did not know what to do.

She could only turn away and say awkwardly, “Stop looking at me like that!”

When he heard her plea, he suddenly laughed. She could not handle his gaze when she was clearly about to be his child’s mother. She was still like a shy little girl. No matter what, he would have the rest of his life to remember all her beauty, and take in all of her headstrong ways because he had told her without hesitation back then that he would not let her suffer by getting married to him.

For this, he was willing to suffer.

“I, Mr. Mu, only know how to look at you like this.”

Her elegant and fair face instantly blushed even deeper as she quickly poked at his handsome face with her slender fingers. “Do you think I’ve become uglier recently? I’ve been slovenly dressed and I don’t look as neat as before.”

After her baby b.u.mp began to show, out of convenience, she would wear loose clothing and her hair was casually pulled into a ponytail, so she began to look a little languid and disorganized.

“I still like you, but are you starting to dislike yourself now? You’re already married to me. There’s no need to be so gorgeously dressed. No matter what, you’re already mine unless you want to bring me some love rivals.”

“Can’t I dress nicely to uplift your reputation?”

“Missus, you’re naturally beautiful. That’s already great for my image.” He patted her head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Then, he peered up at the pretty sunset outside, then hugged her. “The sunset looks spectacular. Let’s go out for a walk.”

“You haven’t packed your things yet.”

“There’s nothing much to pack. Everything’s over there. I just have to bring the doc.u.ments with me.”

…

They walked around the scenic areas of the villa and it was already late when they got home. Mu Yuchen prepared a modest dinner, and with his coaxing, Xi Xiaye ate two bowls of rice. After that, they snuggled up on the sofa to watch two movies before washing up and then retiring to bed.

Because the two of them were light sleepers, they slept till 4 a.m. before they could not fall asleep anymore, so they just lay in bed and chatted.

“Yesterday, I called my parents. I told them that you’d bring the things over for them, and then you should get Father to do a full body checkup. Every year around this time, when I remind Grandpa to do his body checkup, I also want to remind him too, but…”

Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered that she had to accompany Shen Yue to the hospital for a full body checkup in another two days. She had been accompanying Shen Yue for the past few years and would only feel a.s.sured knowing the state of his health, but her previous relationship with Xi Mushan was different. It would be surprising if they even shared more than a few words.

He hugged her and softly replied, “Mmm, I will tell Mother to let him know. I heard the people there say that Father obeys her. I probably guessed right. The sun is really setting. If we’re lucky, you might even have a younger brother or sister after this.”

She immediately rolled her eyes at him. “In your dreams! After Mother gave birth to me, Father already got a vasectomy. Back then, it was a difficult birth for my mother, so Father couldn’t bear to let her suffer again.”

Mu Yuchen’s movements turned stiff as he quickly said softly beside her ear, “Then, let’s only have one too. Once the child is born, I’ll go…”

Before he could finish, she lifted a hand to stop him. “I don’t want to. I already said I want two. If you can’t satisfy me, then I will… get someone else to give birth with!”

“You’d dare to?!”

“You can try me!”

“You’ve really grown bold! What’s so bad about having one daughter? Once we marry her off, we’ll be free. If it’s a son, you’d have to worry about getting him a wife. Why do you have such low awareness?”
