If Only You Were Here (5)

In order to find out the answer she wanted, Xi Xiaye put on a warm smile as she sounded like she was having a great time. "Mmm, Ill wait for you. At least, you wont be as tired when you come back. Your parents are going to help too. Were all family, and you should know that better than me. Moreover, its during times like these that the family is going to get stronger together. I definitely prefer having a group to back me up rather than having to fight alone. Mr. Mu, your way of thinking is falling behind." Mu Yuchens grin grew wider. This little girl was starting to be more and more thorough about many things. He was not sure if he should be happy or to start reflecting on himself. He had no choice but to admit that her words made sense. As he was about to say something, she suddenly started lecturing him again, "I remember sometime after we got married, you told me after a banquet that in high-class societies, people help one another because they understand working together brings in wealth. The middle-class compare themselves to each other and be jealous of one anotherThese dont just apply to businesses. Its the same for life in general. I respect you because you understand, and I hope we can be a better person emotionally" Mu Yuchen could not really remember what she said afterward. He felt that the little woman he had been trying his best to protect had grown up. Her mental capacity was beginning to get closer to his. He felt joyous and comforted that his wife was going to become his best friend, his soul mate To him, there was nothing more joyous than this. "Its your turn to lecture me now, huh?" He sighed. "Whats wrong with that? You gave me plenty of lectures and always made me reflect on my behavior, so its only normal for me to give you a nudge when youre doing something wrong. Now, do you understand how I feel?" she huffed with a grumpy expression. "Do I lecture you? I dont remember it at all. Im done for if youre not happy with me, am I not?" Mu Yuchen smiled. "You sound like an old man when you get serious. You remind me of the discipline teacher in high school. How despicable! Dont you dare put on a frown when youre trying to lecture me in the future." "Do you expect people to smile and laugh when they are lecturing you?" "Cant you be more human?" She did not seem satisfied. "Youre so gentle towards your parents. You marry a wife to love and care for her anyway, or are you hinting that you dont like me anymore?" "Dont I love you enough?" Mu Yuchen had no idea this woman could be so troublesome once she started sulking. "Of course, when I was there, you didnt play mature woman with young, fresh meat with me! We used to" Xi Xiaye blurted out. She realized what she just said and quickly shut up, but it was too late to take the words back now. Her face turned red instantly and her blushing cheeks were cute in their own way. Unfortunately, Mr. Mu could not see her right now. Mu Yuchen was drinking tea as he spoke to her on the phone. He suddenly started coughing and nearly spit out the tea. "Cough, cough!" Mu Yuchens face turned red after some intense coughing, and it took him a while to calm down. "Mature woman and young, fresh meat? Are you the mature woman? I dont think I can be called young, fresh meat now, can I?" "You can play with whatever you want when I get back." "Well, I dont mean that. I justIve told Uncle Lan about what happened. Hell do his best to search and Ill let you know if we find anything. Also, Ah Mo seems to be in City B as well" Mu Yuchens expression darkened when Ah Mos name was mentioned. "I was just about to tell you that Ah Mos missing too. Li Si is looking into it. Dont tell Lingshi first. Her condition is unstable, so spend some time with her if you can." "What did you say? Ah Mos missing?" Xi Xiaye was shocked. "Mmm, I wanted to ask Ah Mo to investigate Qi Leis disappearance, but I couldnt reach him at all. Its the exact same situation as Qi Lei." Mu Yuchens tone became heavy. "Dont worry, Mr. Mu. Itll be fine. Get people to work on it right away. Call Father and tell him to help as well. Im sure he can contribute," Xi Xiaye said. He glanced at the clock and realized that it was nearly midnight in City Z. "Mmm, Im still waiting for Li Sis report. Anyway, its late on your side now. Go to sleep. You still have work tomorrow. Ill be back in two days." Xi Xiaye nodded. "Okay, come home soon. Were waiting for you." "Goodnight." "Good afternoon, Mr. Mu" Mu Yuchen held his phone tightly after he hung up. His expression lightened slightly as he looked at the darkened phone screen. As long as you are here Her words instantly cheered him up. After a long time, he put his phone down and leaned back on the chair again, his composure much more relaxed compared to before. Li Si knocked on the door sometime later. Just as Mu Yuchen expected, Li Si came in with an anxious expression and walked toward him. "Master, I just checked. Ah Mo booked the same flight, but he didnt board either. Heres Ah Mos schedule for the past few days. Take a look."
