At the same time, in Maple Residence .

Xi Xiaye felt much better after taking a shower . Her exhaustion had melted away and by the time she went downstairs, Mu Yuchen was done cooking supper .

Xi Xiaye suddenly remembered that there was a meeting the next day as she had porridge inside her mouth . She lifted her head and studied the man opposite her drinking his porridge elegantly as she asked, "What time is the morning meeting tomorrow?"

Mu Yuchen grabbed a napkin and cleaned his mouth before replying, "9 . 30 in the morning . "

Xi Xiaye nodded, then she replied, "We'll arrive at the office by 9 a . m . then . I'm sure everyone will party late tonight . I've called Xiao Mei just now . They haven't ended yet . It's almost 10 p . m . now and they're just getting started . "

"It'll be done by 10 . 30p . m . Li Si and the others will take care of it . You don't have to worry . "

Mu Yuchen suddenly looked at her with his deep and serene eyes . "I'll propose the matter about Yueying on the agenda tomorrow . Vice President Liu might pay Yueying a visit in a few days . In addition to your mother's 20% shares, Vice President Liu is confident in gathering 35% of Yueying's shares, making Glory World the second largest stakeholder . "

He discussed Yueying's matter with her .

Xi Xiaye went silent for some moments before nodding . Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly asked, "35% shares? Are we going to make high-priced purchases? Qikai's group is interested in Yueying as well . Tell Vice President Liu to be wary . "

Mu Yuchen did not deny it . "We're not the main party developing Movie City, but it's not a bad deal to try the showbiz industry now . I want to let Ah Mo handle this project . What do you think?"

"Ah Mo?" In shock, she slowly swallowed the food in her mouth . "Isn't Ah Mo your personal assistant?"

Mu Yuchen put a hand on his forehead and rubbed it as he said in a tired tone, "Ah Mo has been a foster child under my father since we were young . He's my brother and he's not going to just follow me forever . He should have his own life . "

Xi Xiaye went silent again . She then nodded before wiping her mouth with a napkin and replying, "You're right . I have no objections . "

"Compile a set of documents for Movie City and Yueying . Hand it to Ah Mo at work tomorrow . "

Xi Xiaye stopped Mu Yuchen as he was about to do the dishes . "It's fine . I'll do it . You go upstairs and take a shower . "

She could not bear to see his exhausted expression as her heart softened . She then picked up the bowls quietly .

Upon seeing her picking up the bowls and vanishing into the kitchen, he went upstairs .

After doing the dishes, she prepared the documents for Ah Mo as well as the necessary documents for work the next day . By the time he was done showering, she entered the bedroom to see him calling someone by the bedside with his sleeping robe on . She heard phrases like "media" in his conversation .

His phone call ended when she reached beside him .

"Let's rest early . "

He switched his phone off and put it on the bedside drawer . He walked to the other side of the bed and lay down quietly .

She switched off the lights and slipped into the bed too . Swiftly, he went closer to her and she could feel his body warmth . After some silence in the dark, she suddenly turned over and called out to him, "Mu Yuchen?"

"Mmm?" He replied quietly, his grip on her waist tightening slightly .

She took a deep breath before continuing, "When I came out from the washroom just now, I bumped into Han Yifeng..."

She had no idea who to tell these things . In the end, she decided to talk to him about it . For some reason, the things that she found frustrating and complicated would all become clear and simple after talking to him about it .

She had to admit that sometimes she just wanted to talk to him without any definite reason at all .

"What did he say?" He asked as his body warmth seeped into her through his chest, slowly warming her up . She wanted to hold onto that temperature, so she slowly moved her body closer to him and soon found a comfortable position as she lay down on his chest .

"He asked if I'm married to you..." She told him quietly .

"Then, how did you reply?" He asked calmly .

She took another deep breath, and then sighed, "I told him we're indeed married, so I think the Xi family will find out very soon . I just wanted to let you know . I'm afraid they might give you a hard time later on..."

She was well aware that if they found out about it, excluding Deng Wenwen, Xi Jiyang and Xi Mushan might visit him for a talk, so she wanted to let him know beforehand .

He laughed when he heard the concern in her voice . His slightly hoarse voice reached her ears . "Then, how would you like me to coordinate with you?"

As if he could see through her easily, just by mentioning it, he could already guess what she was thinking about . Xi Xiaye was not used to him always knowing what she was thinking .

She was quiet in the dark for a long, long time . Soon, she put her hands on his around her waist . "I hope they can see that we're really in love with each other . Grandfather... is worried about me... It's fine as long as he knows I'm doing well . Also, if they request anything from you, you don't have to entertain any of them..."

"Aren't we really in love right now? Just what are you thinking?" He asked quietly . Then, he continued as he was reminded of something, "Xiaye, no matter what the reason you agreed to marry me back then, I just hope the both of us can now be loyal to this marriage . Time has proven that we're compatible with each other . Do you understand what I'm saying?"

She was startled for a moment, then she nodded . "I understand . "

"Good, the things that will come are bound to come . If you can't handle it, I'm always here . Remember that, alright?"

His words of comfort were working on her . Soon, the uneasiness in her heart disappeared .

She nodded as he grabbed his hand . She could tell from his voice that he was exhausted . "Mmm... Good... Go to sleep then . We have work tomorrow morning . "

There was no reply from him . Only the sound of his light breathing answered her...
