Chapter 702: Your First Name, My Surname (3)

Her writing was gentle and elegant unlike his powerful scrawls.

However, they complimented each other and seemed harmonious together.

It was the first time she wrote his name above hers, as well as her first time writing his name...

Xi Xiaye was headstrong all her life, but she was now enjoying the gentle and peaceful life he had created for her.

Her love for him was irreplaceable.

She used to think that true love was very far away from her grasp. She had been damaged and in despair. Her mother told her to believe it when it came, to look forward to it.

Everyone would find their love eventually. In this whole wide world, there would be someone that protected you.

Sometimes, she felt bliss when she thought about him and that would put a grin on her face as it did right now.

By the time she realized she could smell a unique fragrance behind her, long fingers grabbed her hand and she was hugged from behind. His magnetic voice reached her ears. "This is the best writing I've ever seen, my dear."

Embarrassed, Xi Xiaye quickly covered her writings and glanced at him. "Why are you always so quiet?"

Mu Yuchen smiled, his eyes seeming mysterious. Xi Xiaye gave him a confused look and he laughed instead. He let go of her hand before patting her head. Suddenly, he took out a large bouquet of blue roses.

It was a bouquet of fully bloomed roses in a deep and mesmerizing blue.

Xi Xiaye chuckled. Her eyes were delighted as she quickly grabbed them. "It's been some time since you sent me flowers. I thought you forgot about it already!"

"How could I forget? I can even forget myself, but I won't be able to forget you." His face suddenly got closer to hers.

Xi Xiaye could almost see Mu Yuchen's tail wagging behind him. Her smile was getting wider as her laughter filled the room. She gently tapped Mu Yuchen's face and then said, "Mr. Mu, I'm starting to realize that you're pretty cute... but your queen will fulfill your wishes. You're an obedient little puppy."

She left two kisses on his cheeks. "How could I have conquered such an amazing man?"

Mu Yuchen could not help but stare at her. He had no idea who this shameless woman was!

"It's getting late. Let's go home."

After an intimate moment together, Xi Xiaye suddenly looked out of the window.

He nodded as he grabbed the remote control and switched off the screen. She swiftly packed up as well.

She put on his coat for him as she asked, "When did Grandpa go back?"

"Originally, we planned to have dinner together, but he didn't want to wake you up as you were still asleep, so he went back with Uncle Lan. Are you hungry?" Mu Yuchen handed his briefcase to Li Si who just came in as he spoke.

Xi Xiaye touched her stomach. "Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry."

"Grandmother should be done cooking dinner soon." He put his arm over her shoulder and walked outside. Li Si closed the door before catching up with them.

When Wang Hui was done with the finishing touches of the last dish back in Maple Residence, the doorbell rang. Sis Wang opened the door and saw her Master returning to the Missus.

"Come in and close the door quickly! Sis Wang, prepare some warm towels for them. The weather is really cold. Dinner will be ready soon!"

Wang Hui quickly told the servants to serve the dishes. She gave Sis Wang instructions when Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye came back home from the bitter weather outside.

Sis Wang soon handed them the warm towels. When Xi Xiaye wanted to wipe her face with it, the man beside her grabbed the warm towels to check the temperature before carefully wiping her face and her hands for her. He was being gentle and thorough.

Xi Xiaye was used to him serving her, so she just let him did what he wanted before she walked over to the dining table. "What did Grandmother make? I smelt something lovely the moment I stepped into the house. I'm famished!"

"I made some pigeon soup for you. Here, have some to warm yourself up. You look much better than before, so you need to have more nutritious meals. Here, drink up. Let Ah Chen go to the office on his own. You'll be exhausted if you follow him everywhere." Wang Hui quickly handed Xi Xiaye a bowl of soup.

"It's fine. I feel bored staying at home and just wanted to go out for a little," Xi Xiaye replied.

"Okay, I know what you youngsters are thinking about. It's especially inseparable during times like this! I'm kind of similar when I was pregnant with your father. Your grandfather would've loved to keep me in his pocket, but I wasn't as carefree as you guys. I had to continue working for the military and only got to rest at home a month before my expected delivery date. I didn't feel like going anywhere when my body got sluggish. I felt annoyed just looking at your grandfather."

While Wang Hui was reminiscing her pregnancy, a smile appeared on her face.

"I still have a few months to go..."

"It'll go by in the blink of an eye. You should be popping right after the new year. You need to be careful during this period of time and not exhaust yourself too much. Ah Chen, you need to be alert. It's fine to neglect your work now. If your grandfather could do it, I'm sure you can do better.

"Mmm." Mu Yuchen gave a brief reply and helped her sit down.

...

After dinner, Wang Hui was sitting on the sofa watching the TV while Xi Xiaye was putting the flowers into a vase. Mu Yuchen went upstairs.

After some time, Mu Yuchen came down, pulling on a simple windbreaker.

"Heading out?" Xi Xiaye frowned. She still had two blue roses in her hand.

"I'll just be within the villa area. I'll be back soon. I've prepared the bath water for you already, so go and take a bath."
