Chapter 183: Mu Yuchen, Profiteer! (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Glory World Corporation’s working hours ended exactly at 6 p.m.

The sky turned dark as people streamed out of the office building. Unlike the long days and short nights in the summer, the wind in the evening was dry and cold. It really started to get chilly after the sun set.

Xi Xiaye arrived next to the car with her briefcase and noticed that the man was already inside the car making a call. It seemed to be a call from Su Chen.

She walked toward the driver’s seat. Mu Yuchen moved over to the front passenger seat as he was still talking to Su Chen on the phone.

“We’ll meet on the weekend. Come straight to the Imperial Sky Club. That’s all for now.” He hung up the call and put his phone aside.

“Did they ask you out for a drink and to play cards?” Xi Xiaye asked casually as she put on the seatbelt and started the car.

He glanced over at her without replying as he leaned back in the seat. He was looking at the crowd outside the car window with his placid eyes.

She did not ask further since he did not reply. Then, she drove the car out of the parking lot and headed straight onto the broad streets. Her clear voice reached him. “Actually, it’s okay for you to meet them from time to time.”

“I’ll bring you over during the weekend,” he replied almost instantly to her statement.

“Aren’t you worried that I might be bothering you guys?” Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows and glanced at him with an interested look.

He turned his head and faced her to reply without answering her question, “You should go out more. You rarely go out on your rest days.”

“Work is pretty tiring. Who doesn’t want to sleep well on a weekend, or read books while enjoying some tea?” She replied casually.

“There you go with your reasons. I saw your gym club member card in your drawer. You started half a year ago, but I doubt you’ve gone more than three times. What a typical attitude, I suppose.”

Xi Xiaye was then reminded that she decided to train half a year ago, so she made up her mind to get a gym club membership. In the beginning, Su Nan would go with her, but after a few times, she stopped going out of laziness.

“I’ve never seen you work out before. Moreover, you’re not really the muscular type…”

Xi Xiaye glanced at him and was about to refute him, but before she could finish, she felt a dangerous gaze coming from the man, making her shiver.

He squinted his eyes and focused on her as he asked quietly, “So, do you like big and muscular men?”

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She held onto the steering wheel with a grin on her face, but she did not say anything. However, Mu Yuchen took it as an affirmative reply from her.

He stared at her for a while before suddenly smiling and spouting a creepy line, “You’ll regret what you said today.”

Xi Xiaye just shrugged, then sped up the car.

It was rush hour and they were stuck in traffic for some time. It was around 7 p.m. when they arrived at Maple Residence. The married couple left their briefcases aside. Mu Yuchen went into the kitchen as usual while Xi Xiaye arranged the flowers they had just bought in a vase.

It was a large bouquet of champagne roses. When their car passed by the entrance of a supermarket in the neighborhood, there was a child selling flowers. They remembered that it was Valentine’s Day today; the whole world was celebrating it.

Xi Xiaye then made a casual remark about the flowers being pretty and how the flowers at home were wilting, so Mu Yuchen got down from the car and bought a large bouquet.

It was not a lavish dinner with three dishes and a soup, but Xi Xiaye really loved them, so in the end, she had two and a half bowls of rice. Eventually, the two of them finished all the dishes.

After dinner, she could not help but rub her slim waist, afraid that she might grow fat, but she thought to herself that her mother and grandmother were not the types to gain weight easily. She would not get fat easily as well, would she?

She gave it some thought, and then decided she would measure her weight at the spa this weekend.

…

She went out of the bedroom with her slightly messy hair to see him sitting on the sofa watching television. He had even made a pot of tea, the fragrance filling the place.

“Why aren’t you watching sports matches?” She glanced at the television screen before sitting down beside him.

He casually poured her a cup of tea and then handed her the remote control.

As she grabbed it and was about to change the channel, her phone at the corner of the table started ringing, so she passed the remote control back to him and picked up her phone.

It was a call from Su Nan!

It must be because of Xi Xiaye’s morning call to her that morning.

“Xiaye? It’s me! What’s up? I hope I’m not bothering you and your man calling you this late at night. Why did you call me this morning? I read the papers today. Xi Xinyi…”

Su Nan rattled like a bullet train non-stop when the call connected. Xi Xiaye was at a loss.

“Nan Nan!” Xi Xiaye frowned and yelled at her. Su Nan then stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

Xi Xiaye gave it some thought before saying, “I want to tell you about your wedding dinner. Ruan Heng and you haven’t decided on a venue, have you? I spoke to Mu Yuchen and he agreed on letting you guys organize it at Imperial Sky Hotel. They still have a slot open.”

Su Nan screamed in excitement on the other end. “Really? Imperial Sky Hotel? Oh my God, I’ve forgotten your man is Master Mu. I’ll take up your offer then! We’ll do it at Imperial Sky Hotel. I was just discussing the wedding invitation with Ruan Heng. You guys are my saviors!”

Su Nan’s excited voice had an unmistakable tone of gratitude in it.

“I won’t decline your kind offer then. I’ll send you guys an invitation the day after tomorrow. Please be sure to come. Also, please thank Master Mu for me. Remember to please him well tonight!”

Su Nan then let out a vicious laugh and Xi Xiaye blushed. Su Nan continued talking just as she was about to retort something back. “By the way, Xiaye, is Master Mu really like what the rumors say?”

“What rumor?”

Unaware, Xi Xiaye looked downward and sipped some tea as she asked in doubt.

Su Nan continued with her wicked laugh. She coughed lightly and then asked in a quiet voice.
