Chapter 711: Delivery (1)

Xi Xiaye sat quietly on the sofa. She turned over to look at her parents from time to time and saw Xi Mushan peeling some peanuts for Shen Wenna, so she lowered her head and chuckled.

"Father, Mother, Mu Yuchen got someone to refurbish the apartment in University A, but it's already pretty late now, so..."

Before Xi XIaye could finish, Xi Mushan interrupted her, "Your mother will be staying with your grandpa for a while. I'll be going back to my own apartment now. I've gotten people to clean it up for me. Let's talk about this again after the New Year. I'm afraid that I'll be busy with some things for now."

Xi Xiaye was stunned as she looked at Shen Wenna and mumbled, "Then, Mother..."

"He had to go see your grandfather and that person. I want to spend more time with your grandpa during the year-end as well, so I'll stay there after the semester starts," Shen Wenna explained though her voice was not as cold as before.

Xi Xiaye felt relieved to hear that. After a while, she asked, "When are you two going to remarry each other?" This was her biggest concern, and she did feel a little uncomfortable asking that question.

"Xiaye, it's not really urgent or important at this point now..." said Xi Mushan before Shen Wenna could say anything, recalling his conversation with Shen Wenna.

Xi Xiaye's expression darkened slightly before looking at Shen Wenna. "Mother, what do you think?"

"Let nature take its course. You don't have to worry about us, Xiaye. Take care of yourself instead. We'll talk about this again after your child is safely delivered..."

"If you're really letting nature take its course, I'll get Mu Yuchen to ensure the necessary procedures are done tomorrow. Father, Mother, you aren't children anymore. I don't think there's anything more important than the happiness and harmony we can get right now. Give me your identification cards and household register!" Xi Xiaye sounded determined.

"Xiaye!"

"Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu! Go to my mother's room and get me her identification card and household register!" Xi Xiaye ignored Shen Wenna's hesitant attitude and nudged her out of the way.

...

"Both of you are more than fifty years old now. If you're going to keep waiting like this, it'll be too late. Let me make the decision for once." Xi Xiaye put her hand into Xi Mushan's pocket and grabbed his wallet and took out his identification card. "I'll bring you two the document to sign after everything is prepared. That's it."

Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan traded glances at each other as they were surprised at Xi Xiaye's decisiveness. It felt like Xi Xiaye had...

She had pulled a fast one on this matter, totally ignoring Shen Wenna's hesitation and getting it done. Shen Wenna received the marriage certificate three days later.

After running back and forth for half their lives, the two of them finally got back together again.

Both Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan knew very well that apart from their feelings for each other, their remarriage this time was mainly for the sake of Xi Xiaye. It was about time to pay her back.

They did not want to cause a big fuss, so their renewal of vows just happened without anything huge. They just had a feast at the Shen Residence that night; even the Mu family was not involved.

The night of Glory World's annual dinner arrived again. It was held on the seventh floor of the Imperial Sky Hotel.

Caitlyn and many other artistes under the company attended the event. Even Qi Lei went. Although Xi Xiaye was planning to stay this out, in the end, Mu Yuchen dragged her there.

The annual dinner was much more crowded than the previous year's, and the turnout exceeded expectations. Mu Yuchen fulfilled his promise and shared the company profits with the departments that had achieved the goals, and there were a lot of other prizes as well.

When the host announced the winner for the largest contribution of the year to be Xi Xiaye, Chairman Mu of Glory World was invited to bestow this prize. Mu Yuchen smiled elegantly as he looked at the woman beside him.

Xi Xiaye smiled as well. She leaned closer and said, "Mr. Mu, isn't this prize biased?"

Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows. "My dear, no one else could've contributed more than you." He then glanced at her baby bump hidden under her big coat.

Xi Xiaye was speechless as she rolled her eyes. She then walked slowly towards the stage as the crowd gave her a loud round of applause and the host handed the mic over.

She spoke gently as she glanced at Mu Yuchen below the stage, "Thank you for joining us here tonight. I'm not going to give a long speech here. I just want to thank everyone's hard work throughout the year. Glory World's achievement today is thanks to everyone with us here tonight. I thought I'd be thanking everyone with Chairman Mu. I didn't expect to be the one receiving this prize instead, so I'm surprised and very touched. Also, I'd like to say something to Mr. Mu on this stage here.

"Meeting you and marrying you has been the best thing I've done in my life. Liking you is my honor, and my love for you will never change, Mu Yuchen."

Xi Xiaye's gaze seemed gentle as she looked at the man below. Her sharp eyes noticed that the usually calm and collected man was glancing downwards in embarrassment when she looked at him. He could not hide his smile no matter how hard he tried.

After a short moment of silence, a thundering round of applause came from the crowd. Some even started screeching as they gave them their blessings.

People used to have no idea why Chairman Mu would be interested in their Director Xi, but they finally understood after looking at them. Maybe there was no particular reason other than that they belonged to each other from the very beginning.

Who cared about the rumors and gossip? Everyone could see that Chairman Mu was embarrassed!

Only Director Xi was capable of doing that!
