Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The night was getting late and the cool wind blew as a calm moon hung in the bright sky.

In the study room on the second floor of Maple Residence, Xi Xiaye was done reading through the pile of documents on the table. She looked at the time on the clock, and it showed that it was almost midnight, yet there was still no sign of the man.

She thought about it and was worried, so she set aside the pen and took a coat from the bedroom to put on. She took her phone and went downstairs. As she was thinking about getting the car keys, she heard the sound of the car being parked outside.

Soon, the door was opened and she put the car keys back before slowly going up to the door.

Before she could reach the knob, Mu Yuchen’s thin and lean figure greeted her sight. Xi Xiaye subconsciously stopped walking and almost walked right into his arms. Thankfully, he was quick enough to hold her.

“Clumsy one, be careful!” His deep voice had a hint of reproach.

Xi Xiaye reached out to hug his strong waist as she leaned into his arms and sucked in a deep breath. Subconsciously, she hugged him tightly, then looked up a little worriedly at him.”Why were you so late? I called you a few times, but it didn’t go through.”

He looked down at her and caught her worried and anxious expression. Immediately, his heart softened and he began to be gentle. His long arms circled her frail shoulders as he held her to walk upstairs. In a deep voice, he assured, “Everything’s fine. After today, perhaps we can all loosen up a little.”

She followed his steps and walked upstairs too. Then, she turned to look at him and asked softly, “Did everything go well? You don’t look too good though…What’s wrong?”

“It went quite well. I’ll tell you all about it in a bit.”

Xi Xiaye had just finished showering. Apart from the little coat she wore, she only had on a loose shirt. With Mu Yuchen’s height, when he peered down, he had an unlimited view of what was beneath.

He had missed her, and his exhaustion from the past few days felt like it needed a breakthrough to drain itself. Then, he suddenly stopped walking.

When she saw that he suddenly stopped, Xi Xiaye was a little confused. She quickly glanced up at him and was about to say something when suddenly her calm gaze met his flaming eyes that seemed to contain fireworks…

Xi Xiaye’s beautiful little face was stunned. She could not help but feel the heat, but after a while, she looked away and cleared her throat. “Go take a shower first. I’ll get your clothes for you. Ah—”

Before she could finish, she suddenly felt like she was mid-air. He had swiftly carried her up to march upstairs. Soon, his deep and sensual voice was heard.

“Later. It feels like we haven’t done it in so long.”

“That’s not true! How do you even have the mood for it?! So many things have been happening recently!” Xi Xiaye hit his shoulders in objection and frowned.

“We have to keep moving forward. As sad as we may be, it won’t change things. To Grandmother, as long as we’re doing well, that will be more important than anything else. You and I living a harmonious life is the best consolation to her, hmm?” he spoke with quite a bit of conviction, and then his hands subconsciously tightened as he drew her towards him.

“What ridiculous theory is that? Put me down…”

Xi Xiaye struggled for a bit, yet he was stubborn and only walked faster until he walked past their secondary living room and straight for the bedroom. He walked up to the bed before putting her down.

As the door closed, a strong gust suddenly rushed in and messed up her beautiful, long hair.

Xi Xiaye combed through her head of hair and pushed a lock behind her ear. As she looked up silently, her calm gaze met the man’s deep eyes.

They were jet black and so deep that you could not touch them, and in the depths of those pupils was her elegant figure.

“Don’t look at me like that!” She was not quite used to this look from him. When she was about to lift a hand to block his view, he held onto her slender wrist.

He hesitated, and could not help but ask in the end, “Xiaye, tell me, will I always be your one and only?”

Even though he knew her answer, sometimes, he just wanted to hear her say it to him and admit to him that she cared for him. That way, he could find a sense of comfort from her, even some warmth.

Xi Xiaye was stunned by this question. Upon seeing the anticipation that gathered in his eyes, she chuckled. “Why are you suddenly asking me that?”

He chuckled, his handsome face filled with tenderness. “There aren’t a lot of reasons. Just consider your Mr. Mu unreasonable right now.”

When she heard his reason, she laughed out softly. She reached out with both arms and tiptoed to hold his handsome face and began to very seriously examine it. Then, she said softly, “But I just like you this way! You have already become my whole world. Without you, I’ve got nowhere else to go, so tell me, is it still important whether you’re my one and only?”

“You…mmm—” Mu Yuchen wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, her soft, pink lips already reached his. She gently and accurately stopped his words that were about to come after that while her long arms circled him and she pushed up against him so that he fell backward onto the bed!

Mu Yuchen was surprised as he looked up at her. He only had a whiff of the faint fragrance from her, then there was a softness against him. He quickly held her body and before he could react, another soft and warm touch came again.

She did not mind using her actions to prove that she cared for him. She heard that all men liked this, but she just was not sure if he was the same.

“Mr. Mu, tonight, let’s play a game of queen and prince consort, okay?” Her gentle and extremely seductive voice was heard.

“No—” he said, then flipped over, so they instantly swapped places.

“If we’re going to play, we should play a game of His Majesty and his pampered concubine!” His handsome face curved with a devilishly charming smile as the fatigue between his brows suddenly faded away.

“His Majesty and his pampered concubine? Why not the queen?”

“If I’m the king, then all the titles in the harem are all yours. Isn’t that the same?”

“What a stretch.”

“Mmm…”
