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

When Xi Xiaye said this, Liu Lingyu smiled, walking around his desk and pointing at the sofa on the side. He said humbly, “Have a seat first. I just wanted to talk to you about this too.”

Xi Xiaye sat down and the secretary swiftly brought two cups of tea over.

“Is it about Yueying? Chairman Mu told me about it. Recently, you and Ah Mo have been busy with Movie City matters, so I wanted to come over and check how it is now.”

Xi Xiaye picked up the tea and sipped it a little, her clear gaze falling onto Liu Lingyu’s face.

“Mmm, I’ll be making a trip to City B with Manager Ah Mo in two days. I might have to stay there for quite a while, so I probably need your help to watch over Yueying for a while. There’s a monthly meeting this afternoon and I want you to attend that.”

As Liu Lingyu said this, he drank his tea, then continued, “Recently, Yueying’s matters have caused quite a lot of unhappiness among the shareholders. According to Chairman Mu’s intentions, we will continue to work hard, promote the new artistes, and align them with our brand. In fact, the few movies that we previously negotiated have been under Glory World’s name, so we just have to wait for the right time…”

When he said this, Liu Lingyu did not continue, but Xi Xiaye understood what he meant. She thought about it, then nodded. “That’s a brilliant idea too. Right, hasn’t Caitlin been quite popular recently? In fact, I heard that her time’s almost up with the company she’s previously signed to. Maybe we can fight for her. She’s been having a great collaboration with Glory World, and I think highly of her.”

“Mmm, yes, that’s a good idea too. There are several artistes that look like they have the potential.”

Xi Xiaye fell silent for a while then asked, “Just leave this to me. I’ll go look for Caitlin for a chat. What time’s the meeting in the afternoon?”

“3 p.m.”

“Mmm, I got it. Just pass me the details.”

Liu Lingyu thought about it, then he could not help but remind, “Okay. Right, Director Xi, I notice that Qi Kai seems to be quite interested in Yueying recently as well, so you have to watch out for any movements from them.”

Qi Kai again?

When Liu Lingyu mentioned this, Xi Xiaye remembered that Qi Lei  was  one of Yueying’s bigger partners. In fact, because of the South River project…

Personal grudges…

When she thought about this, Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered the things Mu Yuchen had said to her previously. Her heart sank a little and she frowned.

…

After she left Liu Lingyu’s office, Xi Xiaye returned to her own office. Although it was already time for a break in the afternoon now, she did not feel hungry, so she did not go to the canteen. Instead, she brewed some tea and sat down leisurely, listening to some songs. At this moment, the phone on her table buzzed. She picked it up to look. It was a certain person’s message from across the Pacific Ocean.

Xi Xiaye subconsciously looked at the time on the corner of her laptop screen. It was probably past midnight and near dawn over there. With an inhale, she clicked on the message. There was only a simple sentence:  Put whatever is in your hands down now and go eat.

Xi Xiaye raised her brows at the tea in her hand and remembered that all this while, she had been packing food and going straight to his office to eat with him, so…

She held her handphone gently and stared at the screen for a long time until it dimmed. She smiled and put the cup in her hand down to respond to him: Why aren’t you asleep yet?

He responded: Just came back.

She thought about it and replied: Where did you go?

Had a dinner thing.

…

They kept responding to each other in short sentences, and Xi Xiaye felt slightly riled up because Mr. Mu was not replying her in seconds. She struggled for a while, hesitating about whether she should just call him.

However, at this moment, Mu Yuchen who was in a certain hotel room in New York was sitting leisurely on the sofa. He bent over slightly and was focused, working on his laptop.

Beside him, Zhou Zimo wore dark blue pajamas. He held a cup to Mu Yuchen with freshly poured whiskey with a grin. “When this thing’s resolved, I’ll have to thank you properly.”

Mu Yuchen looked up and took the drink from him. The lights in the room were very dim and the blue light from the laptop complimented his handsome face in a way that made him look even more extraordinarily dashing.

Mu Yuchen took a light sip and said raspily, “If you really want to thank me, get me a younger sister-in-law. The elder called me two days ago, telling me to get you going.”

Zhou Zimo lifted a hand to rub his nose as a smile flashed across his handsome face. He sat down near Mu Yuchen and smiled. “I see you’ve plunged right in and forget all your duties. Su Chen said that he’s been asking you out recently, but you didn’t show up. Don’t dote on women too much. Otherwise, you should see the pair in my home. My old man has no status as a man at all!”

When Zhou Zimo’s weird parents were mentioned, even Mu Yuchen could not help but chuckle. The Zhou family was a typical case of women managing external matters while the men handled domestic matters!

Zhou Zimo’s grandmother’s and mother’s words were the imperial edict. On the other hand, Zhou Zimo’s grandfather and father were the classic slaves to their wives. Both of them deemed their wives above all else as a philosophy and way of life.

“She’s not as ferocious as the queens in your family,” Mu Yuchen plainly said, then he closed his laptop and sipped his drink.

“Is she that great? Previously, I’ve seen women who are more beautiful and more charismatic than her. There were so many, yet you didn’t seem to care. Su Chen was still bewildered. How can your taste be like this? For someone like you, usually, everyone thinks that you should find someone complementary to you…”

Zhou Zimo narrowed his eyes and shot him a bemused look. “In fact, I was thinking, how do you two even date? It’s like matching a block of wood with an ice cube…”

“When the ice melts, it can then seep into the wood and become as one.”

He put his laptop away and looked at Zhou Zimo, the dim lights reflecting on his face. He looked like he had eased a little. A while after that, he peered down at he drink that swayed in his glass and sighed, “All these years, I have indeed met many girls who were much more excellent than her. Their looks and talents aren’t inferior to hers either…”

He breathed in and sipped his drink again before he continued, “Fate. All of this can only be called fate. Obviously, those girls were great whilst she’s very ordinary… but those girls might not be pleasing to the eye. She’s  pleasing to the eye…”

Zhou Zimo was stunned as his eyes were fixed on Mu Yuchen.

“She’s very suitable for me, so I chose her.”

His tone was calm and his wise eyes were filled with certainty as he downed the drink in his glass.

Zhou Zimo looked at him for a long time, then he nodded. “Okay then, buddy, congratulations. You’ve finally given away your pure first love!”
