Scheming, Retreating To Advance (3)
After Some Intimate Moments, He Restrained His Passion and Held Her by the Waist as He Took the Cold Birds Nest With One Hand and Finished It in a Few Gulps.
Xi Xiaye Then Snuck Out From His Embrace and Helped Him Take Off His Coat and Tie as She Said, "I Thought Youd Only Be Back in a Few More Days, but Its Good That Youre Back. That Way, I Wont Have to Keep Feeling Restlessly Worried."
"Whats There to Be Worried About? Arent I Here Now? Get Something to Eat From the Kitchen. The Food on the Plane Was Really Hard to Swallow. Wheres Our Son?"
"Hes Sound Asleep Right Now, So You Should Go Shower First. Ill Go Downstairs and Make You Something to Eat. Coincidentally, Just Yesterday I Returned to the Old Residence. Mother Made Me Some Dishes. Im Quite Hungry Too, So Ill Have Some With You! Come Downstairs When Youre Done!" Xi Xiaye Said and Then Swiftly Went Out.
When He Saw the Woman Disappear Out of the Doorway, He Chuckled and Unhurriedly Followed Suit.
Xi Xiayes Culinary Skills Had Improved From Before. She Quickly Heated Up a Few Dishes, and Then Prepared a Light Soup to Warm the Belly. When She Served the Food, Mu Yuchen Had Changed Into a Clean Set of Black Pajamas and Was Walking Downstairs While Drying His Dark Hair.
"All Good Dishes? Looks Like Youve Been Living Quite the Good Life While I Wasnt Around, but Why Does It Seem Like You Havent Gotten Any Fatter?" He Squinted at That Sharp Chin of Hers and Tossed Aside the Towel in His Hand as He Served Them Both Some Soup.
"No? Ive Gotten Three Kilograms Heavier When I Weighed Myself Two Days Ago. When You Werent Around, Mother Would Always Cook Good Food. You Know How Her Skills Are Like. It Would Be Hard to Even Want to Control Your Weight," She Said as She Handed Him a Glass of Red Wine That She Had Poured for Him.
He Had Two Bowls of Soup First Before He Picked Up the Wine to Have a Sip. "Actually, I Rushed Back From City B."
Upon Hearing That, Xi Xiaye Paused. "City B? How Are Things Over There? We Havent Heard Anything. Ah Shi and Grandfather Have Found Out About It, and Tonight"
"Thats Within Expectations. Hows She Now?" Mu Yuchen Was Not That Shocked.
"Her Emotions Arent Too Stable, So Mother Will Stay Home to Accompany Her These Few Days. Do You Think Shed Be Any Good for Something Like This to Happen Right Now? Grandmothers Incident Took a Huge Blow to Her. Whatever Happens, Ah Mo Has to Be Fine."
Xi Xiaye Frowned Slightly. She Could Not Help but Sigh. "You Still Havent Mentioned How Things Are in City B. Did You Find Out Anything?" She Said as She Picked Up Her Chopsticks to Put Food Into His Bowl.
He Very Happily Lapped It All Up, and Then Responded, "They Found Their Cars. Qi Lei and Yang Sheng Should Be With Ah Mo Too Since They Havent Found Them Yet, but Im Certain That They Arent in Any Danger for Now."
"Do You Know Who Did It? Father Touched on It Briefly Tonight With Me Too. Right, He Seemed to Have Found Out Something, but Look at You. Rest First Tomorrow, and Well Return to the Old Residence at Night. I Think There Are Some Things We Need to Discuss Properly."
"Whatever You Say. Anyway, Lets Not Talk About These Things. Eat More!" at This Moment, He Suddenly Did Not Feel Like Talking About These Things Anymore. He Just Wanted to Have a Nice Meal With Her and Talk About Her or About Their Sons.
"I Havent Seen Them in More Than Two Months. Our Son Seems a Little Sturdier Now," He Suddenly Looked Up at Her and Smiled to Say.
"Do You Went to Take a Look at Him?" Xi Xiaye Flashed a Gentle Smile.
"Mmm, Hes Grown Much Taller Too."
"Well, of Course, Mother Says Hes Growing Up to Be Like You When You Were Little. Xiao Rui Doesnt Dare to Carry Him Now. Hes Too Naughty."
"Hows Xiao Rui With Homework Recently?" Mu Yuchen Did Not Forget to Ask About Mu Ziruis Studies.
"He Did Excellently in Every Subject for the Midterm Exams Thats Just Passed. Hes Waiting for You to Come Back and Praise Him. He Told Me a Few Days Ago That Their Class Teacher is an Old-fashioned Woman, So He Wants to Switch to the Class Next Door."
When Mu Yuchen Heard That, He Swallowed His Food, Took a Napkin to Wipe His Mouth, and Asked in Amusement With Raised Brows, "Why? An Old-fashioned Woman? Is the Teacher Next Door Very Young?"
Xi Xiaye Could Not Help but Roll Her Eyes and Say Puzzledly, "the Class Teacher Next Door is a Young Teacher Whos Just Graduated Not Too Long Ago. Every Day, She Dresses Up Gorgeously. Xiao Rui Says That All the Students in Class Like Her Very Much."
"From What Youre Saying, Could Our Son Have Given His First Love to the Teacher Next Door?" Mu Yuchen Said Amusedly.
Upon Hearing That, Xi Xiaye Instantly Laughed Out Gently. She Cleared Her Throat Before Responding, "Hard to Say. This Child Was Previously Like You. He Was Quite Composed and Serious, but Recently He Seems to Be Much Naughtier Lately. Sometimes, He Even Tells Me About Which Boy Has a Crush on Which Girl in His Class."
"Thats a Normal Childhood. I Dont Want Him to Be Living Life Like an Adult at Such a Young Age Too. There Should Be Joy and Laughter. We Must Do Our Best to Give It to Them. Its Enough That We Teach Them How to Be Good People. As for the Rest, Theres No Need to Worry Too Much." He Was Quite Calm About It.
Xi Xiaye Sighed and Shrugged. "I Dont Want to Worry Either. I Heard That Their School is Organizing Some New Years Day Event Whereby Every Class Needs to Come Up With Two Performances. The Class Students All Recommended Xiao Rui. The Teacher Asked Xiao Rui What Talents He Had, and He Couldnt Answer. He Came Back and Cried to Me About It for a Long Time. Im Thinking of Letting Him Learn Something Artistic. What Do You Think?"
"Artistic? Whats He Going to Learn? Hes So Busy With Homework Every Day. Arent You Worried That Hell Be Tired? I Think Right Now We Have the Teachers. When He Gets Back in a Few Days, Well See if Hes Interested to Learn the Violin. If He is, You and I Can Take Turns Teaching Him. Are You Worried About Not Teaching Your Son Well?"
Since Xi Xiaye Felt Like It Was a Good Arrangement, She Nodded.
"Lets Quickly Eat. The Foods Getting Cold."
"Mmm."
After the Husband and Wife Finished Their Supper, They Chatted for a Bit in the Living Room Before Going Upstairs to Sleep.
He Had Been Busy for So Long. Now That He Was Home and Could Finally Have a Good, Comfortable Sleep, and Given the Fatigue From Many Days of Work That the Two of Them Went Through, They Fell Very Sound Asleep and Stayed That Way Until Noon the Next Day.
Sis Wang Knew That Mu Yuchen Was Back. She Was Also Aware That They Had Slept Very Late Last Night, So She Did Not Bother Them. She Just Quietly Took Care of Mu Xiaocheng.
Mu Xiaocheng Was Easy to Take Care of. When He Was Fed, He Would Not Cry or Make a Fuss.
