/ The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 137
“Anyway, Grandpa, you should just come . On that day, there'll be others aside from Qikai and Han Corporation attending . Also, can you convince Mother to attend along together with you?”
Xi Xiaye actually hoped for Shen Wenna to put up a tough act since Deng Wenwen was shameless enough to look for her . She would not just give up so easily and she wanted Shen Wenna to portray a sturdy attitude, especially on this matter .
“Your mother?” Shen Yue became alert when he heard Xi Xiaye's request . He looked at Xi Xiaye, slightly shocked .
“Mmm,” Xi Xiaye sighed before she nodded with a heavy expression as she sipped some tea .
“Forget about it . You know your mother dislikes events like these . I understand that you youngsters have fresh ideas, but let her live in peace and don't bother her . It's not been easy for her to keep on going after so many years . If something else happens to her again, I don't think I can be responsible and tell your dead grandma about it . ”
Shen Yue placed his Go piece down with a disappointed expression on his face . “She has a knot in her heart, and you know exactly what that is . Let her forget all about the unhappy past . It's not a bad idea living a little more carefreely . ”
“But…”
Mu Yuchen stopped her when she was about to continue . “That's enough, Xiaye . Listen to Grandpa . Grandpa, it's your turn now . ”
Shen Yue's expression softened as he picked up another piece…
At that moment, there were sounds of footsteps outside followed by Aunt Xu's voice .
“Madam, do I take all of these into the kitchen?”
“Mmm, wash the vegetables . I'll handle the fish . ”
Shen Wenna's figure appeared before Xi Xiaye's eyes .
After receiving a call from Mu Yuchen in the morning and finding out that her daughter and son-in-law were going to come for dinner, Shen Wenna had gone out after a light breakfast . Aside from buying ingredients for dinner, she had also bought some New Year goodies too .
As usual, Xi Xiaye became Shen Wenna's helper in the kitchen . When she saw Shen Wenna's frosty expression, there seemed to be tension in the air . Xi Xiaye was not able to bring up the matter about Xi Xinyi going to look for her before .
The atmosphere around the mother-daughter pair was getting awkward and no one said a thing .
After some time passed while they prepared several dishes together, Xi Xiaye, who was preparing the seasoning, looked at Shen Wenna . She hesitated for a moment and then said quietly, “Mother, Father made me bring you something . There's also a document…”
Shen Wenna stopped her movements for a brief moment, then she continued, “What document is it?”
“I didn't look at it . He asked me to pass it to you by hand . If not, he'd look for you personally . Yesterday was Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi's engagement… He came to Glory World and I followed him over . He didn't know about Xi Xinyi going to look for you . Ah Mo told me he left City Z after the engagement party and will only be back after the New Year,” Xi Xiaye observed her carefully as she spoke .
She was expressionless as she gave it some thought .
“If you don't like it, I'll give them back to him . ”
“It's fine . Bring them to my study room later . ”
“Mmm . ”
Her brief reply ended the conversation .
The dinner was ready . It was a very sumptuous feast for just five people . They sat around the big table and things seemed much livelier than before .
They opened several bottles of champagne . Xi Xiaye gulped a few glasses down while Shen Yue chatted to Mu Yuchen from time to time about topics ranging from chess to geography to astronomy . Shen Wenna joined in the conversation sometimes and they seemed to be enjoying themselves .
On the other hand, Xi Xiaye did not really speak much and just listened . She would just eat whatever the man put into her bowl . When they were done, she noticed that she had eaten a little too much while the man barely ate .
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and watched TV while enjoying some tea . Shen Yue went back to his room after watching some news . Xi Xiaye got Mu Yuchen to go and shower first, while she brought the stuff Xi Mushan had given her into Shen Wenna's room .
After she knocked onto Shen Wenna's door, she saw that her mother had just come out of the shower and was sitting at a sofa in the corner doing some reading .
“You don't have to be considerate about me and your father's past . I just hope you can live a more carefree life than me . ” Shen Wenna grabbed the document from Xi Xiaye as she looked at her calmly, her voice sounding gentle .
Xi Xiaye's eyes met with hers as a part of her struggled deep inside . The words that were stuck in her throat finally came out of her mouth . “Mother, have you always… been… missing Father? If not, you…”
She would never have asked about what happened between Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan because she knew that it acted like a needle in her heart . Just touching the topic would hurt her .
Shen Wenna's eyes darkened like the stars in the skies suddenly hiding behind dark clouds when she heard her question .
After some time, Shen Wenna still did not reply . Xi Xiaye struggled inside, and after a long silence, she ended the conversation between them like many times before . She stood up slowly .
“It's pretty late now . Get some rest soon . ”
She then exited the room .
“I only have these much feelings in my whole life, and I gave them all to your father . It doesn't matter if I miss him or not . You're all grown up, so you shouldn't always be worrying about me . Worry more about yourself . Your married life has just begun . Xiaye, I hope that you can treat yourself better . That'd be great . ”
Shen Wenna stood up from the sofa and went into the study room . “Help me close the door when you leave . ”
Xi Xiaye was distracted for a moment . In the end, she nodded and left quietly .
Mu Yuchen was done with his shower when she returned to her room . He was reading a stack of yellowish papers in his sleeping robe .
Xi Xiaye noticed that something was not right and she went over with a frown on her face .
He was looking through her test papers during high school!
Where did he get them?
She remembered that she had put all of them on the top shelf of her bookshelf . She did not expect him to find them so easily . As she was reminded of the pathetic marks on her papers, her face blushed as she dashed over .
“Don't you look at it . I'm not letting you!”
