Chapter 837: Warmth (2)

Xi Xiaye frowned. "Aren't you just a few years older than him? He's probably around the same age as Ah Mo. What's wrong with him calling me his sister-in-law?"

"Up to you. I don't really mind anything. I feel sorry for the death of Wang Qin as well."

Mu Yuchen took a pause, his eyes darkening slightly before he continued, "Qi Lei is a pretty good guy. It's rare for someone to have an attitude like that especially having been born in a prestigious family. I feel sorry for his childhood, but constantly running away from it isn't going to help."

Xi Xiaye nodded in agreement. "It's tragic to have a father like that. On Qi Kai's end, Qi Qiming appointed Gu Lingsha to take over the South River project. That woman came over and put on an arrogant front, so I made sure she knew her place. I'm sure she was frustrated."

Xi Xiaye decided to tell Mu Yuchen what happened with Gu Lingsha the other day. She wanted his perception of her to be even worse!

"Mr. Mu, don't you think Gu Lingsha is really weird? Mother doesn't like her, and neither does CEO Wang. Although she looks quite pretty, I can sense something wrong within her. I've always felt an odd sense of dislike from the moment I first saw her. Moreover, I really think she has some other feelings for you. Don't get too close to her in the future, and don't talk to her either. She kept mentioning 'you won't be able to understand the conflict between Mu Yuchen and me' as if she really had something with you. I'm really annoyed about that..."

Xi Xiaye went on to complain about Gu Lingsha as well as express her dissatisfaction and hatred towards her.

Mu Yuchen had no idea his little woman would be this talkative. He started grinning as she kept on talking.

She was getting jealous, and her expression clearly contained anger with a hint of possessiveness. He liked what he was seeing and hearing!

That was right. He was hers, so this was how she should be acting!

Mu Yuchen was enjoying her concern. It was wonderful. Instead of thinking his little woman was sensitive, he wished she would be more like this in the future!

"I only have my eyes on you. Just ignore her. Don't see her again if she annoys you." Mu Yuchen just gave a brief reply after she finally finished talking. "I already told you she's not just what she seems like on the surface. Just let me handle it afterward. I'll think about something to help Qi Lei. I'll go to the Shen residence to find out what happened from Grandpa. You can take over Fu Hua when you've fully recovered. I know Grandpa helped us a lot this time."

"Mmm, he planned it from the very beginning. You aren't angry at me for seeking Grandpa's help, are you? I just don't think we can let the South River project stop. Furthermore, I felt a bit triggered by Gu Lingsha the other day." Xi Xiaye turned around and looked at him.

"Why would I? I'm proud that my wife is so decisive. Alright, let's go to bed early. We have to go and get our son tomorrow. I've missed him too."

"Mmm, he's started smiling already. He's looking more and more like you. Mother said he looks very much like you when you were still a baby. He grabs your finger when you touch his hand. Ah, he's a real cutie! Xiao Rui likes him too. He always talks to the baby beside the cradle."

Xi Xiaye was getting excited as they talked about their sons. She then suggested, "Hey, Mr. Mu, let's have a daughter once our son is older, shall we? We have two sons already. We just have a daughter left...

Master Mu felt a headache come on. He threw the towel onto the chair and went to bed. "Do you really think I'd risk it? What if we get a son again? We already have two!"

Moreover, he had been abstaining for half a year and really did not want to repeat this life anymore. In addition to that, he was not so sure if her body could take another pregnancy.

Xi Xiaye frowned when she noticed he was not being cooperative.

"Promise me!"

"No!"

"Mr. Mu..."

"Go to sleep..."

Xi Xiaye fell asleep before they could reach a consensus. She had a good night's sleep in his arms. The sun was up high already when she woke up the next day.

She shifted her arms a little, and a pair of arms hugged her tightly as she moved. She turned over and saw the man still sleeping peacefully.

"It's still pretty early. Let me sleep a little more. Tell Grandmother that we'll go back for lunch."

He noticed her staring, so he changed into a more comfortable position and continued sleeping with her in his arms.

After sleeping on a rock-hard bed in jail for nearly half a month, Mu Yuchen felt like he was in heaven!

Xi Xiaye knew how he felt. She chuckled and pushed his hands on her waist away. "I'll let you sleep on your own. It's 9 a.m. now. Let me wash up and prepare breakfast. Sis Wang and the others aren't around."

"Thank you, my dear." He opened his eyes and crossed his arms behind his head, enjoying the view of her getting up and finding something to change into...

Xi Xiaye had already made breakfast when Mu Yuchen finally got up. The two of them quickly ate it and went to the Mu residence.

The weather was great today with the sun shining brightly outside. The weather was getting warmer during May, so Xi Xiaye wore a beige dress while Mu Yuchen wore a dark silver suit. They looked like they matched each other.

Mu Yuchen was the one driving today.

"Mr. Mu, let's give our son a nickname. I feel like his name sounds too formal and it's hard to make a nickname out of it. Xiao Rui is fine though." Xi Xiaye remembered what Wang Hui mentioned before, and she was now seeking approval from the man beside her.

His eyes were still focused in front as he asked, "What name do you want?"

"Let's call him Qiqi. I hope that we can all be peaceful and safe in the future."
