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

Ji Zitong was not afraid of Han Yifeng’s sharp and cold gaze at all. Instead, she glanced at him with an indifferent expression while her tone did not reveal any emotion.

“It’s as you understand it. Last night, you kept on calling out for the Missus. If someone with ill intentions knew about it, even if you aren’t worried for yourself, you should at least be considerate about Director Xi. Previously, she’d been tormented by you and your wife. Since you know that you’ve let her down, then you should be more considerate about her. If your wife finds out about your condition last night, she’ll just hate Director Xi again.”

Han Yifeng’s expression looked upset. His deep eyes shifted with gloominess. After a long pause, he asked softly, “Did Mu Yuchen make you pass this message on?”

“Chairman Mu doesn’t need to say anything. He doesn’t know about this either, but I need to fulfill my duties, and my duty is to protect Missus. However, CEO Han, your actions alarmed me. That’s why I told you these things.” Ji Zitong stood firmly. She was not afraid of anything. Because Xi Xiaye treated her well, as her subordinate, she should do her duty and help her resolve some hidden threats.

Han Yifeng looked worse as his hands gripped tightly onto the blanket.

“CEO Han, please behave. The medical fees have been paid for and the doctor said that your fever has just subsided, so you’re still quite weak. Plus, you’ve been working hard for a long period of time, causing your body to be fatigued. I suggest that you rest and recuperate for a while. Otherwise, if you fall ill, the only person who’ll suffer is yourself,” Ji Zitong said. She was about to turn and leave when Han Yifeng unexpectedly asked, “Did Xiaye tell you to pass any message on to me?”

When Ji Zitong heard his question, she sneered and laughed. “Missus only told me and two other buddies to send you here. She didn’t say anything else.”

Han Yifeng suddenly felt a twinge in his heart. He then remembered in a daze that yesterday she seemed to have sat in the car and not bother alighting. She had only taken one look at him. In his delirious state, he thought Ji Zitong was Xi Xiaye. Even though he had a high fever and did not sleep well, he thought…so…

After a pregnant pause, Han Yifeng nodded and said weakly, “Okay, please help me thank her.”

…

The cold autumn rain was still falling as the air became chillier inside the living room of the first floor in Maple Residence.

Xi Xiaye was leisurely sitting on the sofa and arranging the flowers in her hand. Beside her, some blue roses and some small decorative little flowers were strewn messily. The vase was filled with a bouquet of blossoming blue roses.

Mu Lingshi brought the wastepaper basket over and cleaned the fallen leaves as she asked, “Sis-in-law, where are Sis Wang and the rest? Why’s it just you?”

“It’s Sis Wang’s daughter’s birthday this weekend. I’ve got nothing much going on here too, so I just let everyone off for a break this weekend.”

Xi Xiaye gently fixed the flowers in the vase. Her eyes were filled with a hint of calm gentleness, and she looked elegant and charming. Her tone was gentle and soothing. No wonder her brother was so worried.

“Sis-in-law, aren’t you worried that my brother would be concerned? Just a few months ago, he wouldn’t even call me at all, and now he’s been calling me every few days, urging me to come to accompany you, especially on the weekends. He’s quite thoughtful about you.” Mu Lingshi lowered her eyes and gently fiddled with the blue rose petals as she gently chuckled.

“He’s just too worried. I’m alright. When you’re free, it’s best that you accompany Ah Mo more.” Xi Xiaye set down the vase as she responded.

“How can I be negligent? This is my little nephew to whom I’m quite looking forward.”

Xi Xiaye smiled. She took a wet towel from the side to wipe her hands and then she leisurely began to steep some tea. “There’s still a few more months. How are things on Sis Lan’s end? Your brother wouldn’t let me go. Otherwise, I would’ve wanted to ask more.”

When this was brought up, Mu Lingshi’s expression froze. Earlier, when she found out from Ah Mo that Qi Qiming was not related to her, even though she was relieved, she was also dazed at the same time. This was a huge world. Even finding her biological father was a tough task.

“Sis-in-law, don’t you worry about this. My brother and Ah Mo are following up on it. There might even be some clues later on,” Mu Lingshi answered in a pained tone.

“Don’t worry. If we set our mind to it, we’ll definitely find him.” Xi Xiaye delivered the steeped floral tea to her as she consoled her sister-in-law.

Mu Lingshi sighed and shook her head. “Actually, sometimes, I’ve already thought about giving up. It’s okay if I don’t find him. If he didn’t intentionally cover his traces, Brother would’ve found him by now. He’s hoping that we won’t be able to find him. If that’s the case, then it’s fine if we end up not finding him.”

“Ah Shi, no matter what, you are the Mu family’s daughter. Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, and your brother care a lot about you. Because of this matter, he’s been…”

“Sis-in-law, let’s not talk about it. I know. I also know what I should do.”

Xi Xiaye just nodded. “Okay then. You should give more thought to you and Ah Mo. Ah Mo should be 30 this year, isn’t he? Don’t let him wait too long. We women don’t ask for much either. As long as he’s good to you, you don’t have to worry much. Whatever it is, take it easy. You’ll realize that it’s actually not that hard.”

“Sis-in-law, your frame of mind has always been one that I admire. All these years, there’ve been many women who have fallen in love with Brother. Naturally, there were many excellent ones too, but none could win Brother’s heart more than you have. Don’t worry. I know Ah Mo’s the same. He’s very wonderful, and I admit that I like him too. In a while more, when I’m done managing my own frame of mind, I’ll…”

Upon hearing this, Xi Xiaye smiled with her lips pursed before she stopped her. “That’s good then! Sit down first. The soup should be ready, so we can eat soon. My skills might not be very good, so…”

“Let me help you, Sis-in-law!”

Mu Lingshi got up, but at this moment, the doorbell rung from outside. Mu Lingshi quickly went to get the door. When she looked at the screen, she saw Qi Lei’s handsome face outside.

Mu Lingshi looked surprised at the screen as she cried out, “Qi Lei! Why’s he here?”

Xi Xiaye raised her brows and found it weird too. She was about to say something when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw it was Mu Yuchen calling!

She frowned as she nodded at Mu Lingshi, telling her to open the door while she answered the call.
