The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 704 - Light (1)

Mu Yuchen’s tall and lean figure quickly vanished underneath the dim lights upfront. The surging cold winds immediately blew his aura away with them too.

Li Si looked in the direction of the departing figure for a long time. After that, he slowly averted his gaze and looked down at the folder that was tossed back to him. His gaze could not help but become heavy again as he hesitated for a moment before handing it to Ah Bao, “Go back and prepare. I’ll book your flight ticket later on.”

“Okay, a.s.sistant Li. a.s.sistant Li, was Master… not too pleased earlier?”

When Li Si heard the question, he looked up at the direction that Mu Yuchen vanished in again and sighed. “Since Miss Mu Zi had a private residence over there, does this not make you think of anything?”

Upon hearing that, Ah Bao began to feel more puzzled, and he looked at Li Si in confusion.

Li Si sighed and lifted a hand to cover his forehead. “That place was most probably where Miss Mu Zi met up with her lover, and you know about the situation with that man too. How could Master be happy about it? If Elder Chairman and Elder Madam hear about this, you can imagine the outcome.”

When he said this, Li Si could not help but get a headache and feel concerned.

Ah Bao then nodded, understanding what Li Si meant.

Li Si thought about it, then could not help but remind, “Get a few a.s.sistants to go with you. Our people are there too, so it shouldn’t be too hard to investigate. It’s going to be the year end soon. I remember from the rules of the past De Bao auctions, they would have a rather large-scale auction every third to the fifth day of the New Year, so you can plan for this.”

“Don’t worry, a.s.sistant Li. I guarantee that I’ll complete the mission,” Ah Bao said, and then walked out of the gazebo in huge strides towards the entrance of the villa.

…

Close to the year-end, City Z seemed to be a little livelier. Even if this year’s winter was a little colder than usual, the bustling atmosphere did not diminish.

Xi Xiaye was pregnant with the little thing, and in a blink of an eye, she was in her eighth month. She had been taken care of like a pig all this time, even staying at home more. Sometimes, she would just go to the hospital for check-ups, and at the same time, visit Ruan Heng who was still unconscious. Sometimes, she would make a trip back to the Shen residence too. w.a.n.g Hui took very good care of her, but Xi Xiaye felt like they were too anxious. They would not even let her lift a stool.

Mu Yuchen continued to leave the house early and return late. He was busy moving back and forth Maple residence and the company.

When they reached the year-end, work started to become busy. He would always wait until she fell asleep late at night before he woke up and continued working on unfinished business just like right now.

With the help of very dim lights, Xi Xiaye slowly pushed the door to the study room open.

What greeted her sight was him still sitting before the desk, focused on work. She walked over lightly.

The faint fragrance closed in. Looking down at the doc.u.ments, he already noticed her slowly getting close to him. When he looked up, indeed, he saw her standing by the desk. His handsome face immediately colored with gentleness as his low voice spoke, “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep? Not feeling too good?”

Then, he reached out to pull her in.

Xi Xiaye shook her head. “I’m fine. I woke up and saw that you weren’t around, so I knew that you’re still busy. I slept quite a lot in the day, so I’m quite awake. Do you need help with anything?”

She felt sad to see him becoming thinner by the day.

“What you can do is to rest well, and peacefully give birth to our child,” he pulled her to sit on his lap as he softly responded, and buried his face into her hair.

“It’s soon now. It doesn’t seem to be growing anymore. I’ve just become less mobile.” Xi Xiaye reached out to caress her b.u.mp. Her twinkling eyes could not help but twinkle with a dim glow. “In another two more months, we’ll be able to meet it… I’m so excited! I really want to see how it’ll look like. Will it look like us? I hope that it will look more like you.”

“If it’s a little princess, it obviously has to look more like you.” He was quite excited as well. If it was a smaller version of her, he would definitely love the little princess without hesitation.

Baby, it is because Father cares about your mother that I care about you too. When you are born, you must treat your mother like the sun.

She looked around, and her gaze fell onto the calendar on the side as she lamented, “I suddenly feel like time has pa.s.sed so quickly. This time, last year, we had only just met, Mr. Mu.”

Now that she mentioned it, he also remembered the very first time they met. With a smile, he asked her, “Mmm, do you remember how we met the first time?”

She gladly nodded as her twinkling eyes could not help but turn misty. “Back then, I thought that you were quite distant and cold. You felt distant in a way that pushed people thousand of miles away, but you seem like quite a gentle and cultivated person too.”

“I’m very happy that I could leave such a good impression on you after our first meeting, Missus.”

Xi Xiaye smiled gently. “Of course! Mr. Mu, you’re so good-looking. I don’t deny that I was attracted by your looks and charisma back then.”

“Turns out you had already fallen for me then, hmm?” Mu Yuchen laughed out loud.

Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes as she reached out to pinch his handsome face. “Please, I’ve always admired Prince Charmings. Many men appear handsome and das.h.i.+ng but are unreliable.”

“What theory is this? Your man doesn’t rely on his looks, so how can he be unreliable now? It’s best you stay away from people who say things like that. They’re too one-sided and subjective.”

“No, that’s because…”

…

Compared to the harmony and warmth there, tension filled a certain ward in Los Angeles

Shen Wenna sat by the bedside. Her elegant face could not help but seem tense. She sat quietly while Little Apple lay down by her side as Xi Mushan gripped her other hand tightly.

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed doctor in his white coat stood before them with a beautiful nurse holding a tray.

At the moment, the doctor was carefully helping Shen Wenna take off the bandage that covered her eyes.

Xi Mushan was agitated too. He watched the doctor’s movements in antic.i.p.ation as he could feel the nervousness from Shen Wenna. He held her slightly cold hand tighter, softly advising, “Don’t worry. You’ll be able to see soon.”

Yet, when Shen Wenna heard this, she could not help but be even more nervous. It had been close to a year since she fell into this dark world. Could she really see the light again?
