The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 331 - Back To West Park (2)

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye nodded. She was focused on looking ahead as she said, “Grandfather, Grandmother as well as Father and Mother are all very kind to me, and he looks after me in every possible way.”

“So, you just have to appreciate what you have right now. As for the rest, you don’t have to think too much about it.” Su Nan smiled.

“Mmm, I know.”

“From the looks of your relations.h.i.+p right now, you don’t lose out to anyone else. Master Mu’s quite gentle with you. You’ve caught such a good man for yourself, so you’re not unlucky all the way. Mm-hmm, you’re pretty lucky too.”

“I’m not bad either, alright? The fact that he got to marry me is his twist of luck too!”

“Alright, alright! Whoever marries Your Highness is their good fortune! Happy? I’m going to take this matter about Ah s.h.i.+ to heart. Don’t worry, I’m free anyway. I’ll look for her to go out more often. At the same time, give her some food for thought. I’ll do my best, so you don’t have to be too worried.”

…

Every time she had trouble, she would look for Su Nan. In this whole world, only Su Nan would treat her this well. She would practically come as soon as she needed her. Needless to say, she had always been very grateful for her. All these years, if it were not for her, she would have suffered a lot more pain.

She was content with having one close friend in this lifetime.

…

The next day, the morning meeting continued with the South River project matters that still had to be discussed. Just like the day before, it went on till lunch break at noon. They finally managed to finish delegating the initial tasks. Knowing that the work after that would be much easier to carry out, Xi Xiaye let out a sigh of relief.

Lunch was still the same as before. Xi Xiaye just packed food from the canteen and brought it up to the 15th floor.

She had just walked to the door when Li Si, who was in the secretary office, and William, who was Mu Yuchen’s a.s.sistant that had just been transferred over, smiled at her. Xi Xiaye politely smiled in response.

She knocked on the door symbolically. Without waiting for the person inside to answer, she already pushed the door to enter, yet just as she took one step in, she heard the sound of a conversation from inside. Then, she noticed that apart from Mu Yuchen, there were two other blonde-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful ladies in the office. One of them had short hair and looked like she was in her 40s. She had a smile on her face and had great charisma while the other girl looked like the former’s a.s.sistant.

When he saw Xi Xiaye, Mu Yuchen waved for Xi Xiaye to go over. “You’re here.”

Xi Xiaye looked at the two girls, puzzled. Then, she walked over and put the food in her hands down onto the table. She was about to ask who they were when the middle-aged woman had already begun gus.h.i.+ng, “This must be the Missus, isn’t she, Master Mu? Very beautiful!”

She spoke in fluent French, and Xi Xiaye could vaguely understand her a little.

Mu Yuchen nodded slightly, then turned to Xi Xiaye and said, “They’re here to get your measurements for the wedding gown. Just cooperate for a while.”

“So quickly?” Xi Xiaye then remembered that he did mention something about getting measurements today.

“Now, we can only rush out a few sets of gowns for the wedding photoshoot. The gown for the wedding day will be done later on,” he explained, then fluently conversed with the middle-aged woman for a while. After that, the two of them smiled and walked up to measure Xi Xiaye.

They were done very swiftly. They then swiftly retreated, and the husband and wife sat down for their meal.

…

Xi Xiaye had begun to get busy the next two days. She was mostly running to the government’s end since the person-in-charge over there had begun discussing the concrete details of the South River project, and they had begun to look for business partners.

It was the evening and Xi Xiaye had just finished discussing with the person-in-charge. She was about to drive back to Maple Residence when she received Xi Mushan’s call.

The father and daughter decided to meet at the carpark.

After she hung up, Xi Xiaye waited for less than five minutes before Xi Mushan appeared.

“I’ve told Mu Yuchen to come to West Park tomorrow to meet Grandfather. I’m just letting you know, but if you’re free tomorrow, come home too,” said Xi Xiaye as she looked at Xi Mushan.

When Xi Mushan heard her invitation, his steadfast and imposing expression started to show signs of ease. He nodded, his deep voice unusually calm. “Okay, I’ll make myself free and be home tomorrow. What time are you coming back? I’ll ask them to prepare some dishes.”

“We don’t need to eat. We’ll go over in the afternoon because we have a social gathering at night to celebrate our successful tender,” Xi Xiaye responded calmly. Subconsciously, she obviously was not willing to eat with Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi. In reality, even she could not recall how many years it had been since they had a meal together.

Xi Mushan’s eyes darkened at Xi Xiaye, and he could roughly guess what she was thinking. He fell silent for a moment, then nodded and answered, “That’s good too. Your mother, she… What did she say?”

He struggled for a while. Still, he could not help but ask about her mother.

“I was planning to visit the Shen residence tonight. Mother didn’t quite object at first. She didn’t… didn’t ask me to distance myself from you. How’s Grandfather?”

Xi Mushan’s eyes dimmed. “You know that he’s already in a bad state. Sometimes, he seems well. Sometimes, he takes a bad turn. A few days ago, he even fought with your grandmother. I’m afraid he won’t be able to get past the next two years. His body is already not suited for medication. We can only hope for his health to improve.” When he said this, his tone was heavy.

Xi Xiaye’s expression darkened too. She felt her chest suddenly tighten and she had to calm herself for a while. Then, she suddenly remembered that Xi Jiyang had previously looked for her. She recalled their conversation at the Bamboo Teahouse.

“But he seemed quite healthy quite a few days ago, was he not?” Xi Xiaye suddenly felt melancholic. An indescribable sorrow appeared in her heart and she suddenly found it hard to take in.

“It’s okay, don’t be sad. Leave life and death in the hands of fate. No one can stop it. Isn’t he still alright now?” When Xi Mushan saw Xi Xiaye’s face instantly turn pale and upset, he sighed. Then, he consoled, “Your grandfather hopes for you to live well too. He knows about your wedding with Ah Chen and he’s overjoyed. Live your days well. As for the rest, don’t overthink.”

When Xi Xiaye heard that, she did not answer and just silently lowered her head.

“When you’re free, come home to visit. Whether you eat with us or not, it’s fine. Alright, it’s not early anymore. Go home earlier. Your mother will be waiting too. Come over earlier tomorrow. I’ll be home the whole day,” said Xi Mushan, then he subconsciously lifted a hand to pat Xi Xiaye’s shoulder. He had just touched her shoulder when he suddenly turned rigid. He paused for a while and did not continue. Instead, he silently pulled his hand away…
