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

Chapter 1277 - Alarmed! 1

1277 Alarmed! 1

Yes.

It was an uneasy feeling, just like the day something bad happened to Mu Lingtian.

As Gu Qiwu thought this, his heart could not help but tighten. The more he could not contact them, the uneasier he felt.

However, he hid it very well. Xi Xiaye tried hard to read his expression, yet she could not catch anything.

“I’m hoping you can consider tonight further. I admit that apart from Lingshi’s matter, I’ve also looked for Mu Yuchen about other things. Besides that, on Lingsha’s end, there’s Doris who’s dealing with it, so she should be released soon. I’m sure you two of all people should know about the actual situation of that incident. I don’t want to look into what happened there anymore, but that doesn’t mean Doris and Qi Feng will just let it go.”

At this point, Gu Qiwu’s voice suddenly turned solemn.

Gu Lingsha would be released soon?

Xi Xiaye’s heart tightened slightly, but her expression did not change one bit.

“I’ve been married to Doris for decades. I can’t be too sure of her conduct, but she’s definitely not someone who will let things go so easily.”

“So, you’re worried that she’ll do something to you. Is that why you’re looking for Mr. Mu?” Xi Xiaye could almost immediately see through his intentions. “Back then it was you alone who provoked this matter. What does it have to do with Mu Yuchen? To be honest, I really look down on people like you. When there are benefits, then you want in. Otherwise, you’re quite quick to lay your hands on others. Take Mu Lingtian years ago for example. Why was it him who had to suffer? You know best how Gu Lingsha is like. Since you know that Mu Lingtian and Ah Shi are your children, how could you just let Gu Lingsha marry Mr. Mu? Who do you think they are?”

Xi Xiaye could not help but get upset on behalf of Mu Yuchen. She felt a stifled sensation in her chest and could not hold back the unhappiness she felt. “You are the one who owes it to them, Gu Qiwu., not the Mu family or Mu Yuchen. Mu Yuchen’s heart is tied to the Mu family and the kinship between us all, but still, you won’t find it enough. Aren’t you just out to get the Mu family and Glory World? To respect the deceased, I didn’t want to say too much, but I really can’t hold back anymore!”

“Alright now, Miss Xi!” The name ‘Mu Lingtian’ was a thorn in Gu Qiwu’s heart.

“The siblings could have been like Ah Mo, living an innocent life, yet what breaks my heart is that you incited him, and made him go against the Mu family and Mr. Mu. Don’t you find it ironic how you have treated Mu Lingtian? Was he a weapon for you to use against the Mu family?” Xi Xiaye’s tone was exceptionally harsh, thus upon hearing this, Gu Qiwu’s cold expression shifted slightly.

“You don’t just have one daughter, Gu Lingsha alone. Every life is God’s gift, and that represents a responsibility. Even my son understands this principle, don’t you?”

Gu Qiwu was stumped by her words. He did not know what else he could say. It was as if what she said was all valid!

He found no reason to refute because he had done that back then. Apart from thinking that he loved Doris, it was also because he did not want to find himself between a rock and a hard place, so...

Xi Xiaye did not say anymore and stopped where necessary.

“You’ve already lost Mu Lingtian. Can’t you be considerate about Ah Shi? Her mother passed away soon after she was born. For the past 20 years and more, she didn’t even know who her father was, and even her blood-related brother has passed away. Now that the grandmother who loved her is gone too, how could you bear to...”

Xi Xiaye did not continue after that. She only turned around, and her calm eyes brushed past him before she walked away.

As he watched Xi Xiaye gradually vanish down the road ahead, Ah Yong frowned. When he looked at Gu Qiwu, he realized that the man had a downcast expression. He thought about it, then frowned and said, “Boss, do you want me to go stop her—”

Before he could finish, Gu Qiwu lifted a hand to stop him. “No need. Actually, for tonight, as long as I’ve come and she mentions it to Mu Yuchen, we will have achieved our goal. Mu Yuchen will understand what I mean,” he said gloomily, then turned around to leave.

Ah Yong stood there, stunned for a moment, yet he could not figure out why!

...

When Xi Xiaye returned to Maple Residence, Sis Wang had already gotten Mu Xiaocheng sorted, so she went straight upstairs. After a simple shower, Sis Wang served her supper.

“Missus, I made some red bean soup. Earlier, at the Old Residence you didn’t much either, so have some now while it’s hot.”

When Sis Wang knocked on the door to enter, Xi Xiaye was sitting on the sofa and reading through some documents. Upon hearing Sis Wang, she looked up.

“Thank you! You should rest earlier too. You’ve been busy the entire day!” Xi Xiaye’s calm expression brimmed with a faint tenderness as she spoke with a smile.

Sis Wang smiled. “No worries. I wasn’t busy with much today, but, Missus, you...you’ve been busy till late at night since you returned. You should watch your health. Otherwise, Master will be sad to see you torture yourself like this!”

“Isn’t he like that too?” Xi Xiaye laughed helplessly.

“Missus, Gu Qiwu didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Earlier, when Xi Xiaye had walked in, Sis Wang keenly noticed that she had not seemed too good, but she dared not ask too much. Instead, she wondered if she should tell Mu Yuchen about it. After all, Master had mentioned taking good care of Missus, and to let him know immediately if anything happened.

When Xi Xiaye heard that, she slowly closed the document in her hand. “It’s fine. It’s just a small matter. Don’t tell anyone about what happened tonight, especially Grandfather. After I discuss with your Master, we’ll have a plan. Definitely don’t let Grandfather know. Gu Qiwu’s been looking for Ah Shi, and tonight he came to see me. Do you understand?”

Her abruptly solemn tone made Sis Wang’s heart clench a little. She was about to say something when Xi Xiaye already picked up her phone from the side and got up. “It’s late. Go home and rest first. I won’t eat these now since I’m not quite hungry.”

She said this as she picked up the documents to turn around and walk into her bedroom.
