The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

Meet Master Qi?

Li Si was stunned, but he dared not ask further and just nodded gently. “Yes, Master! I’ll call Master Qi right away!”

…

When Qi Lei received Li Si’s call, he was busy in his own office, yet when Yang Sheng announced it was Mu Yuchen calling, he immediately answered the phone.

It was past 5 p.m. on the balcony of the chairman’s office at Glory World Corporation.

When Qi Lei rushed over, Mu Yuchen was sitting leisurely on the rattan chair, drinking tea, and watching the sunset.

“Things are a mess on my end while you have the mood to drink tea and watch the sunset. I thought you were planning to hide and not let me find you,” Qi Lei said as he sat down on the rattan chair by Mu Yuchen’s side with a light-hearted laugh.

Mu Yuchen turned to look at him. He straightened up slightly and handed the other cup of tea to him as he said calmly, “The person who should be hiding right now isn’t me.”

Qi Lei took the tea and had two sips as he squinted at Mu Yuchen and decided to be frank. “I know that it was you, but I don’t understand. How did you know Doris was pregnant? Even from the way Gu Qiwu looked, he didn’t seem to know either. Having a child at such an old age should be a joyful occasion, but it looks like they weren’t happy at all!”

He would not have known then Doris’s child was not Gu Qiwu’s. When he had gone over from Qi Kai earlier, he even heard Yang Sheng say that Gu Lingsha was troubled by Doris. Recalling the moment Doris had fallen over, and how Doris had slapped Gu Lingsha twice on the spot, he figured that this must have taken quite a huge toll on Doris and Gu Qiwu.

When Qi Lei said that, Mu Yuchen did not immediately respond. There was only a smile from the corner of his lips which Qi Lei could not help but find odd.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think the whole thing is quite amusing?” Qi Lei raised his brows at Mu Yuchen and cleared his throat as he said in a lowered voice.

Mu Yuchen’s handsome face then flashed with a faint smile that looked cold to Qi Lei. “Amusing? I’m afraid it’s not as simple as being amusing. It’s a ridiculous joke instead.” Then, he gave Qi Lei a side-eye.

Qi Lei immediately widened his eyes and stopped what he was doing, waiting for him to continue explaining.

“The child that Doris carried hasn’t even reached the second month of the pregnancy term while Gu Qiwu has been living in City Z this entire time. Do I need to continue?”

Pfft!

Before he finished, Qi Lei had already spat out his tea!

Thankfully, Mu Yuchen was quick enough to put up the magazine in his hand, so the tea did not spray him as it was blocked by the magazine!

“Cough, cough! Cough, cough!” Qi Lei choked a little, his eyes filled with disbelief!

“What did you say? Are you saying that the child isn’t even Gu Qiwu’s?” Qi Lei cried out. He was stupefied. “How could this be? Don’t tell me that at Doris’s age, she has an affair, and even got herself pregnant! Isn’t that too much of a stretch? She’s quite a valiant one too. She’s already past 50 and she was still planning on having another child? What about Gu Qiwu? This world is crazy!”

He still could not quite believe it. It was very hard for him to accept this as he stared at Mu Yuchen in bewilderment.

Nonetheless, Mu Yuchen’s reaction was calm. He set the magazine in his hand aside, and slowly stood up to walk to the balcony railing and look out at the setting sun leisurely. “Anything can happen.”

“But such a surprise is too difficult to accept! Haven’t Gu Qiwu and Doris always been loving? Could Gu Qiwu not have satisfied her? This is preposterous!” Qi Lei widened his eyes with curiosity. He could not help his vice of gossips as he began to analyze, “There are only a few reasons for cheating to happen within a marriage. The first is that Gu Qiwu couldn’t satisfy Doris with material and wealth. Secondly, Gu Qiwu couldn’t satisfy Doris with that thing, which is definitely not a first, since everyone knows that he’d even bring the stars from the sky to her! It’s only the second possibility left. You’re a married man, so you should know this very well, shouldn’t you?”

When he heard Qi Lei, Mu Yuchen immediately frowned and looked at him through squinted eyes. His deep voice was colored with a chill. “I didn’t know that you had this ability to gossip, Master Qi.”

“Did I analyze it right? You and Xiaye love each other. Could you accept another woman? Unless Doris and Gu Qiwu only seem harmonious!”

“You’re getting close now.” Then, Mu Yuchen breathed in slightly and slowly averted his gaze.

Qi Lei took the napkin and wiped the moisture from his lips before he shrugged and reflected, “If you’re right, then they’re in big trouble. Wouldn’t Gu Qiwu and Doris have a fallout now? The fact that you exposed this would no doubt be like throwing a bomb at them.”

“They’ve always wanted to control each other. If I didn’t accidentally find out about this secret, I really wouldn’t have known that Doris would have such meticulous plans thought out.” A thought gathered between Mu Yuchen’s brows.

Qi Lei thought about it for a while, then asked, “What do you mean?”

“Do you think that Doris doesn’t know about Gu Qiwu and Lingshi’s relationship?” Mu Yuchen said, turning to look at him.

Upon hearing that, Qi Lei started to ponder.

When Doris found out about the news of Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi, she did indeed act erratically. However, it was not how she would usually act in public. From what Qi Lei remembered, she would maintain her reputation no matter when and where. If she lost control like that, that must mean…

“From a while ago, the information that we investigated in City B has shown that Gu Qiwu and Doris have had a weird relationship, especially after this year’s auction.”

Qi Lei’s expression froze for a moment, then he nodded. “If that’s true, then I think I understand something now. The child that Doris had wasn’t Gu Qiwu’s. In fact, the main reason she returned this time was to use the affair between Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi as momentum to get a divorce from him, so Gu Qiwu would definitely have needed to compensate her!”
