Chapter 465: Dark Waves (2)

Mu Yuchen opened his eyes as he heard Ah Mo’s footsteps walking away. He grabbed the packet of cigarettes next to him, then took one out and lit it up.

He turned back and grabbed the document and photos. After taking a last glance at it, he flicked the lighter.

The fire soon consumed the document and photos, turning them into ashes inside the trash can beside him.

He averted his gaze and looked at the bright morning sun, releasing a puff of smoke. Suddenly, a slender hand snatched the half-burnt cigarette between his fingers away. Her pleasant scent reached him as well.

“Don’t smoke too much. It’s not good for your health.” Her slightly hoarse voice reached him as she extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.

“You’re awake.” His voice sounded gentle as he looked at her quietly and asked, “How much did you hear?”

He signaled her to sit on his lap, so Xi Xiaye went along and sat on him.

“Around half of it,” she replied calmly as she looked into his eyes. “Qi Qiming and you…”

He ran his fingers through her long hair as he replied, “Mmm, it’s just some old conflict, so it has been ongoing. Don’t worry about it, okay?”

“Was the accident that happened in City B back then planned? I know you’ve been keeping an eye there. If you feel threatened, we can hire more bodyguards. I’ve spoken to Ah Mo about it just now,” Xi Xiaye frowned as she suggested.

“It’s just a small matter! Your Mr. Mu is pretty strong you know, what’s there to worry about?”

Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him, “How’re things on Xi Xinyi’s side? I didn’t hear you mention it. Is Yueying…?”

Mu Yuchen frowned. “The Han Corporation funded her. Qi Kai bought over Yueying and it has now become a subsidiary under it while Xi Xinyi is the new CEO.”

Xi Xiaye then grimaced as her eyes darkened. “The Han Corporation? You mean Han Yifeng?”

“Do you think he wouldn’t have helped? Do you trust him that much?”

He looked at her with an odd smile and his tone sounded like he was teasing her. Xi Xiaye was irritated about it as she glared at him. “How would I know? Aren’t I asking you about it now?”

He laughed as a gentle expression appeared on his face. “He was smart enough to use this chance to divorce Xi Xinyi. Unexpectedly, she went to Elder Han and probably used something to trade with them, so Han Yu helped her with the funds and the Yue family took action as well. The crisis no longer exists.”/ updated by NovelFull

“What can Xi Xinyi possibly have to make a deal with the Han family? Haven’t they been avoiding her ever since the incident? Moreover, with Yue Lingsi’s scandal, the Yue family were furious.” Xi Xiaye looked at Mu Yuchen in confusion. She had no idea what happened in City Z during their time here since Mu Yuchen never mentioned anything to her.

“She might have something else up her sleeve, so they are still investigating, but we’ll find out soon.”

He took a sip from his cup of tea. “We’re taking the flight this evening. This morning…”

“I want to walk around with Mother,” she replied before he could finish the question. Mu Yuchen glanced at her and just nodded.

…

It was quiet by the seaside early in the morning. The warm sun covered the vast sky in its brightness as golden waves appeared across the ocean. Birds flew past in the sky, and the vines around the veranda swayed slightly with the wind.

Shen Wenna could not see any of these sights. The only thing she could feel was the breeze that brushed past her face.

Xi Mushan was there when Xi Xiaye arrived. The two of them went in to see Shen Wenna wide awake as she stood by the veranda for some fresh air.

Xi Xiaye looked at Shen Wenna standing quietly on the veranda as she spoke to Xi Mushan, “Father, since we’re already here, let’s bring Mother to the hospital here. Mu Yuchen contacted a hospital in Los Angeles to see if there’s any chance of cure for her.”

Xi Mushan nodded. “Ah Chen told me about it. We probably won’t be attending your banquet over there. Your mother hasn’t been feeling very well lately. It must be pretty exhausting for her to travel, and it took me a long time to convince her to leave the country, so we left in a hurry.”

Xi Mushan looked at Xi Xiaye apologetically. He had spent almost all his time with Shen Wenna recently. Fortunately, she was not as repellant of him as before, probably having gotten used to him and she now accepted him coldly.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Mmm, it’s okay. Mu Yuchen and I should’ve stayed with her.”

If this dark phase of her life could bring Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna back together again, that would be the best outcome.

“Leave your mother to me. I’ve always wanted to make up to her, so I want to do whatever I can.”

Xi Mushan looked at Shen Wenna who was sitting on a rattan chair as his stern face softened. Now that he was older, he hoped to spend every passing second with his precious one.

“Whether she can see or not, I hope that I can be the one to stay by her side. Xiaye, don’t worry about your mother. Finish your wedding with Ah Chen. He’s arranged everything over here already.”

“She will be able to see again.”

In the evening, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye went back to City Z. Because Shen Yue was worried, he stayed back in the end. No one saw him when they were about to board the plane, and Xi Xiaye only found out after giving him a call.

Xi Xiaye understood that Shen Yue was still unhappy with Xi Mushan. His expression hardened when he saw Xi Mushan at the wedding. If he were just a little bit less considerate, he would have made a fuss right there and then.

In the end, Mu Yuchen asked Ah Mo to stay back as well since he would worry less with him there to help out.

They were in a hurry because the banquet was to happen right after they get back, so they did not waste any time. They would settle everything on hand right now and see what would come next.
