Chapter 145: Happy New Year

When Mu Yuchen returned to the room, Xi Xiaye had already finished her bath and was lying down. The main light in the bedroom was switched off too. Only a dim wall lamp was left lit up.

He used the dim yellow light to look at the slightly protruding blanket. He picked up his pace and walked over, switching the table lamp on the side on. After staring at her sleeping for quite a while, he said, “Mother and the rest made supper. Do you want to go downstairs?”

“No, I’ve showered and I’m not hungry.” She did not even open her eyes as she answered a little sleepily.

Mu Yuchen did not bother her further either. He switched the light off and walked out of the bedroom.

Xi Xiaye was dazed in her sleep. She seemed to vaguely remember that the man returned to the room after quite a long while.

The next morning, the couple were still in their slumber when they were awoken by the knocking from outside.

Xi Xiaye unhurriedly tied up her beautiful, waist-length hair and casually combed it into a bun. Then, she opened the wardrobe and noticed that it was the same as the one in Maple Residence. The wardrobe was filled with clothes in all sorts of styles and colors in her size.

She had also noticed that the clothes all leaned towards light warm colors. In the bottom drawer, balls of socks had also been prepared in the dozens. It was even more clothes than the last time they came back…

She gaped at the clothes for quite a while before choosing mid-length qipao with lilac floral prints. On the outside, she put on a pastel-colored coat, then strolled towards the bathroom.

She had just reached the bathroom door when the man inside had already finished washing up. He changed into a silver-gray leisure suit and was drying his hands with a towel when he saw her walk over. Checking her out, he felt that she took his breath away.

Quickly, he reacted and took her toothbrush to help her apply some toothpaste before handing it to her.

Raising her brows, she walked over and took the toothbrush, silently watching the tall, dashing man in the mirror. She thought about it, then greeted calmly in that slightly raspy voice of hers, “Happy New Year, Mr. Mu.”

Mu Yuchen was stunned. He took a look at the mirror before him. Then, his eyes scanned around before falling onto her again. He chuckled softly. “Happy New Year, Missus.”

Xi Xiaye smiled cheerfully too, then she started brushing her teeth.

“When you’re done packing up, go downstairs for breakfast.”

He lifted a hand to help fix the messy bangs on her forehead.

“Mmm.” She just vaguely responded and Mu Yuchen then could not help but pat her head before smiling as he walked out.

After she was done washing and packing up, Xi Xiaye went downstairs.

The whole family was already downstairs waiting for them for breakfast. Everyone seemed in high spirits. Politely, she said some auspicious greetings. Wang Hui and the rest handed huge red envelopes around, making her a little shy. She subconsciously turned to look at the man beside her and saw that beside his hand were a few huge red envelopes. She then smiled and accepted them graciously.

“Thank you, Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother.”

She still did not dare to look up Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong. When she thought about how they had walked in on them last night, she could not help but feel her face heat up.

“If you really want to thank us, then grant us a grandson soon.”

When Zhuang Shurong saw Xi Xiaye blushing, she could not help but laugh. “Your grandparents wanting to have a grandson is not a matter of a day or two. By the end of this year, we hope that you can fulfill her wishes.”

“Haha, yeah, Xiaye, this is Grandmother’s wish this year!”

…

Everyone spoke one after another as if the matter of having a child had immediately been pushed up the agenda. However, she and Mu Yuchen —

She still lowered her head a little bashfully, shooting him a look. She noticed that he was calmly taking the napkin on the side for her as if the matter being discussed had nothing to do with him.

After they finished breakfast, Wang Hui and Zhuang Shurong asked Xi Xiaye to go out with them. They made their way straight for the Buddhist temple in the east of the city. Mu Tangchuan and Mu Yinan had their own plans too. Everyone made their way out, so only Mu Yuchen was left alone in the Mu residence.

In the afternoon, Ah Mo received Mu Yuchen’s call. When he sent the laptop that he had left behind in Maple Residence over, Mu Yuchen was sitting in the yard on a soft cushion and leisurely reading under the sun.

It was rare to see his Master having such a relaxed moment, so Ah Mo almost could not bear to disturb him, yet when he heard his hesitating footsteps, Mu Yuchen’s calm voice was heard.

“Bring it over.”

“Master!”

Ah Mo then delivered the laptop in his hand and Mu Yuchen casually took it. “Why don’t you go out to walk around?”

“There’s nowhere I want to go anyway. I’m used to being on call for your busy work matters,” responded Ah Mo with a smile.

Mu Yuchen opened his laptop. “Much earlier, Grandfather mentioned your thing to me again. You and Lingsi are placed in the care of Father’s name, so we’re considered brothers…”

When he said this, Mu Yuchen suddenly looked up and fixed his gaze on Ah Mo. “I remember that you aren’t that much younger than me. Grandfather and the other elders are saying that you should take note and see if there are any girls you fancy. The family can help you with proposing for marriage.”

When he said this, Ah Mo was stunned. His handsome face turned scarlet and his eyes were filled with gratitude. “Thank you so much for Elder Madam and the old Chairman’s concern. Right now, I just want to serve by your side, Master.”

“The Mu family can’t tie you down forever. You have to have your own life. All these years, you’ve been by my side. You’re very good at handling many of the company matters. The seventh day of the New Year is the launch of Glory World’s Imperial Sky Entertainment City. It’s your sis-in-law who’s in charge. Tomorrow, I need to make a trip to City B, but you don’t have to come with me. Help her out instead.”

Mu Yuchen took the cup of tea from the side and took a sip. He then continued, “After the launch, I’m planning to let you take over the Project Manager position right away. You’ll take charge of City B’s partnership for the development of the showbiz base. I’ll always be watching out for you. I just want to know whether you’re confident to take this on.”

His deep and all-knowing gaze fell onto Ah Mo’s handsome face while his tone was very calm.

“Master, well…”

Ah Mo was a little nervous and at a loss for words.

“Ah Mo, I can only provide you with the opportunity. Confidence is something only you can give yourself. I think highly of you. I’m not willing for you to stay by my side and waste your talents. You should belong to a wider world, so I’m hoping you can become Glory World’s backbone.”

When he said all of this, he suddenly closed his laptop with some waning interest. He got up and made his way towards the corridor. “Since there’s an opportunity, you should give it a try, don’t you think?”

His voice floated amidst the light, cool breeze, yet it sounded extremely kind to Ah Mo who quickly nodded and said to his back, “Yes, I’m willing to go with your arrangement, Master!”
