The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1316 - Heartless 1

Chapter 1316 Heartless 1

When Ji Zitong heard that, she was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she turned to look out of the car window.

The sky outside was gradually turning bright. You could see underneath the trees on both sides of the road where there were already cleaners working hard on the streets.

“No need. Since the store is gone, we might as well use this time to bring forward our agenda for children. Besides, you aren’t that young anymore…” Ji Zitong said.

When she said this, Su Chen became annoyed! What did she mean that he was not young anymore?

He was only 34! Only 34!

Not 43!

He was just about to feel good.

“What do you mean not young? Are you calling me old now?”Su Chen frowned and his expression darkened as he asked unhappily.

Ji Zitong raised her brows at him, and when she saw that he did not look too happy, she explained, “You don’t seem old, but you’ll have to admit your age. You’re 34. Do you think you’re still young? We’re just getting older, and I want to get this done earlier too.”

“Men become more valuable as we age, get it?” Su Chen glared at her with a darkened expression before he started his car. “We’ll just go with what you want about the children then. You can rest for a bit too. When you’ve given birth to the child next year, rest for a year or two, then we’ll talk again when your health has recovered.”

In terms of domestic matters, Su Chen did not have many opinions, so he just went along with what Ji Zitong wanted. It was a very clear distinction of him manning the fort outside while she held the fort down domestically.

Ji Zitong thought about it, then finally nodded in agreement.

…

The night was quickly overtaken by the light from dawn. Slowly, the sky on the east side broke through the thick, misty twilight with a ray of golden light. The holy rays shone towards the unknown sky…

It was already winter, so the weather was quite cold at this point.

If one did not switch on the air conditioner, the room would be quite cold, so waking up suddenly required more courage, especially for someone like Xi Xiaye who had fallen asleep quite late last night.

Inside the quiet and comfortable Maple Residence, as usual, Mu Yuchen woke up energetically and cooked breakfast.

However, right now, Xi Xiaye slammed her alarm clock for a long time in the room before she managed to pull the blanket away and get out of bed.

She just felt dizzy while her body felt incredibly heavy too, and even walking took a lot of strength. She forced herself to get up and wash up…

Cough cough!

When Mu Yuchen pushed the bedroom door open, he already heard the coughing and instantly frowned as he quickly walked in.

He had just stepped in when he saw Xi Xiaye walking out of the bathroom with an exceptionally pale expression. She looked…

“Xiaye!”

Before he could react, Xi Xiaye felt her eyes turn dark, and her head light, she could not stand anymore as she fell forward.

Mu Yuchen was quickly and managed to catch her in time, his eyes could not help but flash a worry, “What’s wrong?”

He had just held her when he could feel that something was not right, he felt her forehead and realized that it was quite hot, she looked really pale.

Cough cough!

Xi Xiaye could not help but cough a little. Her hands held onto Mu Yuchen’s sleeves weakly as she looked at him with a sickly expression. Her raspy voice contained a hint of weakness too. “I feel terrible, Mr. Mu…”

Mu Yuchen pulled his hand back and met her gaze helplessly, he said sadly, “You’re a little feverish. You’re too weak! Lay back down on the bed. I’m going to get you some medicine.”

Then, he carried her back to bed and turned around to look for medicine and water.

“Mmm, have some. Sleep more, and you’ll be fine once you sweat it out.” Mu Yuchen sat by the bedside and handed her the pills.

Xi Xiaye felt weak all over to the point that even lifting her arms required a lot from her.

When he saw that, he quickly leaned closer. “Open up your mouth…”

Xi Xiaye did as she was told. When the pills entered her mouth, and a bitterness immediately spread. She almost vomited it out while he considerately brought a cup of water over quickly.

“Have a few sips.”

Half the cup was downed, and it managed to chase the bitterness away.

Mu Yuchen took a fever reduction pad and put it on her forehead before helping her lie down. “Lie down for a bit. I’ll cook you some porridge.”

Xi Xiaye nodded weakly. As she held him, she looked pitifully at him and said in a raspy voice, “Stay at home with me today…”

He chuckled softly, and his large hand gently caressed her head. “What else would I do if not stay at home with you? Sleep well. I’ll call you again when the porridge is done.”

Xi Xiaye then let go of him, blinked with her heavy eyelids, and said, “Go then.”

He smiled calmly and lowered his head to kiss on her pale lips before pulling up her blanket. “I’ll be quick.”

“Mmm.”

…

Mu Yuchen waited until she closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep before he left the room quietly.

When he received Mu Yuchen’s call, Li Si was about to call him too; they were quite in sync.

“h.e.l.lo? Good morning, Master!” Li Si answered quickly.

“Mmm, bring some of the doc.u.ments from the office to Maple Residence,” Mu Yuchen said calmly.

“Deliver them to Maple Residence? Master, don’t you have a meeting this morning?” Li Si asked, puzzled.

“Cancel it,” Mu Yuchen said simply and was about to hang up when Li Si quickly said, “Master, wait, there’s something I need to tell you!”

“What is it?” Mu Yuchen asked calmly.

“Master, this morning, Madam Su, Miss Ji’s flower shop caught on fire. The fire was really strong and was only put out when morning came. Besides the damages and losses being quite severe, the entire store has turned into ashes. Master Su and Miss Ji rushed over earlier. I just received the news, so I’ve already called him to ask about it. It sounds like this incident isn’t as simple as it seems,” Li Si quickly reported what he knew.

When Mu Yuchen heard that, his eyes darkened slightly. He thought about it for a moment, then responded, “Got it. Arrange for someone to go take a look. Feel free to let us know if he needs any help.”

“Yes, Master!”

“As for the thing with Doris, watch her closely,” Mu Yuchen reminded worriedly.

“Yes! Master, don’t worry!”

Then, Mu Yuchen hung up while his gaze turned stony.

Ji Zitong’s store caught on fire?

He thought about it, then slowly walked downstairs and swiftly called Su Chen.
