Xi Xiaye heard about Yue Lingsi through the newspapers as well.

At the dining table, she was used to flipping through the newspapers. When she saw the feature and reports on Yue Lingsi, she was stunned for quite a while. She quickly looked up at the man who was elegantly eating across her before she pursed her lips slightly and stared at him for quite a while.

Mu Yuchen could feel her gaze from across, so he subconsciously looked up and met her questioning eyes. With a chuckle, he asked, “What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? There aren’t any flowers on my face.”

She raised her brows, and then waved the newspaper in her hand as she asked, “Did you do this?”

“What? What did I do?” He smiled calmly as he reached out to take the newspaper from her. He opened it up and looked at it indifferently before quietly setting it aside.

When he did not answer, she repeated softly again, “I’m asking you a question!”

“Do I look like such a despicable person?” He smiled casually, yet his gaze seemed a little odd, and unfathomable. She could not read him.

She rolled her eyes and responded calmly, “I do think you look like the cat that ate canary!”

When he heard her accusation, he instantly chuckled and casually continued softly, “I didn’t know that I had such a bad image in Missus’s eyes, but since you think so, I might as well tell you that someone as despicable and shameless as me thinks that this little lesson is too easy on her.”

“So, you admit that you’re despicable and shameless?” Xiaye then grinned and took the porridge he served her. “As long as you don’t get into trouble. The Yue family aren’t easy people to deal with.”

“Are you worried about me?” He did not seem worried. He raised his brows and his lips curled up, turning into a perfect curve.

Xi Xiaye shot him a look and did not answer. She nudged the food before her towards him as she said, “I’ve seen the information on your desk. After the holidays, you should quickly go over for a look. It’s not good to delay the project matters. The sooner you settle them, the sooner you can get back.”

Last night, before they could finish discussing, they had fallen asleep. This morning, she remembered. It was no wonder that he had been working hard to complete the work over here. On New York’s end, they were collaborating on a project with Zhou Zimo’s company and were going to start soon, so Zhou Zimo and he might need to make a trip over soon.

He thought about it, then suddenly announced, “This time, I’ll bring you along.”

Xi Xinyi gently shook her head and said calmly, “I can’t. In my state, how can I go with you? Besides, I have to watch over Fuhua here too. I can usually help to manage some urgent matters at the company too, so you can go yourself.”

“No rush. In time, when you’re more stabilized.”

Obviously, he was worried about leaving her here alone. Besides, for this trip this time, it might be one or two months before he returned. They had never parted this long since they got married, and he was not confident about getting through this.

“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me either. I’ll just have Zitong by my side always. Wasn’t that what you had thought of previously?”

“Such a heartless woman! I’ve thought about arranging for everything. Can’t you just properly express a tiny bit of reluctance to part?” Mu Yuchen smirked and reached out to wipe some morsel at the corner of her lips. “I wanted to wait till you’re more stabilized before bringing you over with me. That way, I’ll be more assured too. Last night, Zimo was getting impatient, so I’ll let him go over first.”

Xi Xiaye could not help but roll her eyes at him. “I’m not some clingy woman. I’m not that delicate. I won’t follow you everywhere. Other people might think that I’m one of those unreasonably jealous wives. In fact, there’s Grandpa, Grandmother, and the rest here, so don’t worry, but when you go over, you’ve got to find a time to visit Father and Mother in Los Angeles. I wanted to find time to go too, but with this little thing, it’s just not very convenient.” Then, she caressed her baby bump helplessly.

“Not a jealous wife? All those quite good looking female secretaries that Li Si chose earlier were all vetoed out by you. Aren’t you a jealous wife?” He smiled amusedly at her.

“Do you really want those secretaries? Men and women working together makes work lighter. Do you want me to find you two after the break? And someone with good looks? CEO Zhang’s daughter seems to have graduated from Management. I think that if she becomes your secretary, she would be extremely willing too. That way, I wouldn’t be counted as some jealous wife, would I? Aren’t I a good enough wife?”

Her clear gaze was fixated on him, yet it was filled with an evident warning.

“How could that be? Only with Missus does my work get lighter. To us, ‘jealous wife’ is a positive term. A positive one! This means that I’m excellent, and, Missus, you’re worried about me, which is a good thing!”

He loved that she watched over him, so he eased her thoughts.

“How shameless!”

She glared at him in annoyance. “Straighten out some things at the office before going over after the break. I think it wouldn’t be too short of a time. Meanwhile, I’ll look over matters here. As for the South River project, you’ve pretty much completed everything. VP Zhang told me about the project progress a few days ago too. I’ll invite Qi Kai and some of the people-in-charge from the other collaborating companies to go over for a look. Let them make a simple early-stage assessment, and then figure out the upcoming work.”

“You handle this aspect of work quite well. I’m not worried, I just...” Mu Yuchen frowned and looked subconsciously at her baby bump.

“It’s fine, I’ll be doing my scheduled check-ups, Ah Mo will be staying behind, won’t he?” Xi Xiaye asked.

Mu Yuchen nodded. “Of course, he’ll be. I’m only bringing Li Si over. The Movie City matters have gotten on track, so it’s enough for VP Liu to follow up.”

“Mmm, okay then. He and Lingshi finally made it to this stage. It’s not a bad thing to give them more time.” When she said this, she suddenly remembered about Sis Lan, so she could not help but say, “If only Sis Lan would reveal something. Yesterday, Mother asked me too, but I didn’t know how to answer her.”

“Don’t worry about this. It’s fine if she won’t tell us anything since I have my own plans. Okay, quickly finish your porridge. I’m bringing you out later.”

“Where are we going? Right, you haven’t told me about what this Yue Lingsi thing is all about?”

“What about it?”

“You...”
