Xi Xiaye slowly turned her head to look up at the sky which had darkened. She then nodded. “Mmm, I’ll go home then. See you tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Xi Mushan answered in a lowered voice.

Xi Xiaye did not say anything anymore. She just turned to open her car door and get in.

In the evening, when the husband and wife reached the Shen residence, Shen Wenna was just about done preparing dinner. Shen Yue had also returned rather early too.

Mu Yuchen only discussed the wedding matters with Shen Yue and Shen Wenna after the meal. However, Xi Xiaye did not know what they talked about. She went to her room to pack her things. She picked a few books and was planning to bring them back to Maple Residence.

When she was done and went downstairs, they were finishing up the discussion. They sat on the sofa leisurely and drank tea while they chatted idly. In fact, Xi Xiaye noticed that Shen Yue seemed to be rather interested in the South River project, having learned more about it through Mu Yuchen. It appeared that he was interested to collaborate.

When she sent the couple out, Shen Wenna suddenly said to Xi Xiaye, “If you have time, go back and visit him.”

“Mother...” Xi Xiaye muttered softly.

“We’ve done all that we should, all just to live with a clear conscience. Just ignore all the idle gossip. If you’ve done it, other people will be able to see it. Go home and rest this weekend. You’ve been looking better recently,” said Shen Wenna indistinctly with a smile.

Xi Xiaye subconsciously touched her little face as her rosebud pink lips pursed gently. She smiled at Shen Wenna. “I’ve been doing a lot of those things that are good for my health.”

“Eat more. Your body is quite weak. Once you’re better, you should have a child. You’re already 27. In a few more years, you’ll be at an advanced maternal age. Don’t worry about the trouble. It’s best to have two of them. Anything else can be discussed. Plus, their childhood will be less lonely.”

Shen Wenna unexpectedly rattled on a list of advice to Xi Xiaye. As she spoke, her beautiful eyes flickered with a gentle ray of light as if she was reminiscing something. The corners of her lips curled up. “Back then, your father and I wanted to give you a younger brother or sister, but he was worried that my body wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I only had you...”

Xi Xiaye quietly listened and did not say anything. For some reason, as she listened to Shen Wenna say all of this, her heart felt heavy.

Perhaps it was fortunate that they did not have another one. Such suffering was enough for her to go through alone, so why would she let a younger brother or sister suffer too?

...

On the way back, in the front passenger seat, Xi Xiaye did not say anything. Her mind kept flashing with the intertwining faces of Xi Jiyang, Xi Mushan, and Shen Wenna. Their words kept echoing in her ears.

Mu Yuchen, who had been focused on driving, did not disturb her. Instead, he let her have some peace and quiet.

As she pondered, she soon fell asleep and did not even know that they had reached home until Mu Yuchen came to open the door and was about to carry her down. She woke up with a start and got down from the car by herself.

They had just shut the door when the sound of car honking came from behind. Xi Xiaye turned her head subconsciously and saw that it was Li Si and the rest. They were probably bringing the prepared gifts over.

“Master, Missus, I hope you’re having a good night!” Li Si got down from the car and greeted them. “Master, the items are prepared.”

“Just put them into the car,” Mu Yuchen said, then tossed his car keys to him. Li Si accurately caught them.

“Okay, Master!”

Then, he immediately ordered the two bodyguards in black suits to move the things from one car to the other.

Li Si hesitated and suddenly said softly, “Right, Master, I have some news...”

“Speak,” Mu Yuchen calmly replied.

Li Si subconsciously looked at Xi Xiaye, then continued, “Xi Xinyi went to Yueying this afternoon. She went with Han Yifeng, in fact. The Vice President of Qi Kai, Qi Lei, went over too. The three of them just went to Pearl Lake for dinner and Xi Xinyi is getting familiar with Yueying’s affairs. She’s straight up taking on the role as CEO of Yueying.”

When Mu Yuchen heard this, his eyes dimmed. Xi Xiaye turned to look at him and vaguely caught a flash of cold light that went past his eyes.

Naturally, hearing such news, Xi Xiaye’s expression turned rigid too. When he saw this, he reached out to put an arm around her shoulders and chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you exceptionally unhappy?”

Xi Xiaye’s long eyelashes fluttered for a few moments and she sighed, “Why do I feel like Xi Xinyi and I are like cat and mouse?”

Mu Yuchen’s handsome brows raised up. He looked at her in bemusement and his eyes were filled with admiration as he said gladly, “Missus, your comparison is extremely fitting! Xi Xinyi’s a smart mouse while you’re a dumb cat! Every time the cat catches the mouse, they keep thinking about adding some seasoning to enjoy happily. Unexpectedly the mouse escapes every time...”

“What kind of analysis is that? But, to be honest, don’t you think most people in the world are like me? The relationship between stepmother and stepsister is always like a cat and mouse. Are we just naturally-born enemies?”

“Human relationships need to be managed too. Do you think it’s all so simple? Okay, let’s go home. It won’t take too long before that position is yours,” Mu Yuchen spoke rather nonchalantly and confidently.

...

The next day, the Xi family were at West Park.

Xi Mushan did not go out as he always did. Usually, whether it was a rest day or not, he would not be home. When Yue Lingsi saw him around, she was shocked.

A few days ago, she had briefly discussed Xi Xinyi and Han Yifeng’s marriage matters with Huang Ziyao. It was hard to meet him, so she wanted to chat a little, yet she had just walked to the door when Xi Mushan, who had just finished his call inside, walked out.

Yue Lingsi stopped in her steps.

“Mushan...” Yue Lingsi softly called out for Xi Mushan.

Xi Mushan turned around and closed the door. He looked indifferently at Yue Lingsi, calm and distant as always. “What is it?”

“Later, the Han family and Xinyi will be coming back for lunch. At the same, we want to discuss Yifeng and Xinyi’s wedding. My father has finally persuaded Elder Han. The Xi family hasn’t had a happy occassion for a long time. Now that there is one, we have to make it grand! What do you think?”

As Yue Lingsi spoke, her eyes swelled with anticipation and she looked at Xi Mushan silently.

However, Xi Mushan just frowned. The people from the Han family were coming over? Han Yifeng and Xinyi?

What about Xiaye and Ah Chen? Would they not feel uncomfortable?

As he pondered about this, Xi Mushan’s expression darkened and his features sank.
