Chapter 1297 Scheming, Retreating To Advance 3after some intimate moments, he restrained his passion and held her by the waist as he took the cold bird’s nest with one hand and finished it in a few gulps.

xi xiaye then snuck out from his embrace and helped him take off his coat and tie as she said, “i thought you’d only be back in a few more days, but it’s good that you’re back. that way, i won’t have to keep feeling restlessly worried.”

“what’s there to be worried about? aren’t i here now? get something to eat from the kitchen. the food on the plane was really hard to swallow. where’s our son?”

“he’s sound asleep right now, so you should go shower first. i’ll go downstairs and make you something to eat. coincidentally, just yesterday i returned to the old residence. mother made me some dishes. i’m quite hungry too, so i’ll have some with you! come downstairs when you’re done!” xi xiaye said and then swiftly went out.

when he saw the woman disappear out of the doorway, he chuckled and unhurriedly followed suit.

xi xiaye’s culinary skills had improved from before. she quickly heated up a few dishes, and then prepared a light soup to warm the belly. when she served the food, mu yuchen had changed into a clean set of black pajamas and was walking downstairs while drying his dark hair.

“all good dishes? looks like you’ve been living quite the good life while i wasn’t around, but why does it seem like you haven’t gotten any fatter?” he squinted at that sharp chin of hers and tossed aside the towel in his hand as he served them both some soup.

“no? i’ve gotten three kilograms heavier when i weighed myself two days ago. when you weren’t around, mother would always cook good food. you know how her skills are like. it would be hard to even want to control your weight,” she said as she handed him a glass of red wine that she had poured for him.

he had two bowls of soup first before he picked up the wine to have a sip. “actually, i rushed back from city b.”

upon hearing that, xi xiaye paused. “city b? how are things over there? we haven’t heard anything. ah shi and grandfather have found out about it, and tonight…”

“that’s within expectations. how’s she now?” mu yuchen was not that shocked.

“her emotions aren’t too stable, so mother will stay home to accompany her these few days. do you think she’d be any good for something like this to happen right now? grandmother’s incident took a huge blow to her. whatever happens, ah mo has to be fine.”

xi xiaye frowned slightly. she could not help but sigh. “you still haven’t mentioned how things are in city b. did you find out anything?” she said as she picked up her chopsticks to put food into his bowl.

he very happily lapped it all up, and then responded, “they found their cars. qi lei and yang sheng should be with ah mo too since they haven’t found them yet, but i’m certain that they aren’t in any danger for now.”

“do you know who did it? father touched on it briefly tonight with me too. right, he seemed to have found out something, but look at you. rest first tomorrow, and we’ll return to the old residence at night. i think there are some things we need to discuss properly.”

“whatever you say. anyway, let’s not talk about these things. eat more!” at this moment, he suddenly did not feel like talking about these things anymore. he just wanted to have a nice meal with her and talk about her or about their sons.

“i haven’t seen them in more than two months. our son seems a little sturdier now,” he suddenly looked up at her and smiled to say.

“do you went to take a look at him?” xi xiaye flashed a gentle smile.

“mmm, he’s grown much taller too.”

“well, of course, mother says he’s growing up to be like you when you were little. xiao rui doesn’t dare to carry him now. he’s too naughty.”

“how’s xiao rui with homework recently?” mu yuchen did not forget to ask about mu zirui’s studies.

“he did excellently in every subject for the midterm exams that’s just passed. he’s waiting for you to come back and praise him. he told me a few days ago that their class teacher is an old-fashioned woman, so he wants to switch to the class next door.”

when mu yuchen heard that, he swallowed his food, took a napkin to wipe his mouth, and asked in amusement with raised brows, “why? an old-fashioned woman? is the teacher next door very young?”

xi xiaye could not help but roll her eyes and say puzzledly, “the class teacher next door is a young teacher who’s just graduated not too long ago. every day, she dresses up gorgeously. xiao rui says that all the students in class like her very much.”

“from what you’re saying, could our son have given his first love to the teacher next door?” mu yuchen said amusedly.

upon hearing that, xi xiaye instantly laughed out gently. she cleared her throat before responding, “hard to say. this child was previously like you. he was quite composed and serious, but recently he seems to be much naughtier lately. sometimes, he even tells me about which boy has a crush on which girl in his class.”

“that’s a normal childhood. i don’t want him to be living life like an adult at such a young age too. there should be joy and laughter. we must do our best to give it to them. it’s enough that we teach them how to be good people. as for the rest, there’s no need to worry too much.” he was quite calm about it.

xi xiaye sighed and shrugged. “i don’t want to worry either. i heard that their school is organizing some new year’s day event whereby every class needs to come up with two performances. the class students all recommended xiao rui. the teacher asked xiao rui what talents he had, and he couldn’t answer. he came back and cried to me about it for a long time. i’m thinking of letting him learn something artistic. what do you think?”

“artistic? what’s he going to learn? he’s so busy with homework every day. aren’t you worried that he’ll be tired? i think right now we have the teachers. when he gets back in a few days, we’ll see if he’s interested to learn the violin. if he is, you and i can take turns teaching him. are you worried about not teaching your son well?”

since xi xiaye felt like it was a good arrangement, she nodded.

“let’s quickly eat. the food’s getting cold.”

“mmm.”

…

after the husband and wife finished their supper, they chatted for a bit in the living room before going upstairs to sleep.

he had been busy for so long. now that he was home and could finally have a good, comfortable sleep, and given the fatigue from many days of work that the two of them went through, they fell very sound asleep and stayed that way until noon the next day.

sis wang knew that mu yuchen was back. she was also aware that they had slept very late last night, so she did not bother them. she just quietly took care of mu xiaocheng.

mu xiaocheng was easy to take care of. when he was fed, he would not cry or make a fuss.
