Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next morning, Xi Xiaye woke up feeling sore all over.

She opened her eyes slowly after rubbing them a little. Then, she turned her head over at the position beside her — it was empty.

She took a deep breath. Their intimate moments from last night rushed back into her mind. Her little face started to get red.

Although she had asked him to forgive her, he would not just let her go so easily.

Damn it!

She started to get angry. As she was struggling to get out of bed, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and she instantly grabbed the blanket to cover her chest. She looked over at the source of the footsteps.

Mu Yuchen was brimming with vigor as he came out from the bathroom, having changed from his sleeping robe into his usual black shirt.

“You’re up?”

He saw her frustrated eyes, but he just went towards the wardrobe calmly with a meaningful grin on his face.

“Mu Yuchen, you liar! Profiteer!”

She angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it at him!

He easily caught the pillow threw at him. Raising his eyebrows, he grabbed an outfit for her as well. He walked towards the bed and handed her clothes to her. “Get washed up. Grandmother has come over in the morning and is preparing breakfast for us downstairs. If you don’t want to be late again, you’d better be quick.”

She glared at him before turning away from him.

“Are you angry?” He glanced at her and asked, holding the clothes right in front of her. “You’re really petty, aren’t you? I admit that I lost control for a little. It’s my fault. If this makes you feel better, I apologize. I’m sorry.”

“How insincere!” She stared at him and grabbed the clothes. as she was about to pick up her sleeping robe on the floor—

Ka—

The door opened.

They both looked towards the door to see Wang Hui’s beaming face.

“Grandmother!”

In shock, Xi Xiaye unconsciously grabbed the blanket and covered herself up.

“Oh, I didn’t see anything. I didn’t see anything at all!”

Although Wang Hui said that, her sharp eyes scanned the whole room. She did not miss Xi Xiaye’s naked shoulder along with the rumpled clothing on the floor…

It was obvious what had happened there last night. These youthful things!

“I just came in to take a look since you guys haven’t gone downstairs yet. The door was open as well. That’s alright, Xiaye. Grandmother didn’t see anything at all. Go wash up and come downstairs. I’ll head back down first!”

Wang Hui left the room swiftly with a big smile plastered across her face.

Xi Xiaye was relieved when she heard the sound of the door closing. The man beside her was casually knotting his tie. She was impressed by his calm expression. “Don’t you know the meaning of embarrassment?”

“Can I make Grandmother forget what she saw if I feel embarrassed?”

He frowned slightly and looked at her. Then, he grabbed her clothes and passed them to her. “If you can get better at handling yourself socially, Xi Xinyi couldn’t have taken advantage of you every time. Her acting is genuine, but what about yours?”

“I’m not an actress anyway. I don’t need to act for a living like her,” she defended herself, but her eyes obviously darkened.

“Haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘life’s like a movie; it’s all about your acting’? You don’t have to put up an act with people close to you, but it’s not a bad thing to put on a show once in a while to avoid being taken advantage of.”

He patted her head and laughed. “Oh, well, it’s alright. I’m here.”

Xi Xiaye was startled. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at him in astonishment. “Mr. Mu, are you trying to sell your loyalty to me this early in the morning?”

She blinked several times as she asked seriously while looking at him in the eye, “Do you wish for me to become a woman like Xi Xinyi?”

“As long as you know how to differentiate the circumstances, I don’t mind.” He stood up and looked at her from above. “Alright, go and wash up. I’ll pack up the stuff and bring them downstairs.”

Xi Xiaye was quiet for some time before nodding without fully understanding it. She grabbed her clothes as she dragged the blanket together with her and walked into the bathroom.

Mu Yuchen started picking up their clothes from the floor as her figure vanished into the bathroom…

After she was done and went downstairs, Mu Yuchen was having his breakfast at the table. Wang Hui was unpacking the stuff she had brought for them from the Mu Residence.

“Remember to get Sis Wang and the others to water the seeds I planted in the backyard. I’m sure it’ll grow once the climate gets warmer. The flowers will surely be beautiful during summer.”

Wang Hui suddenly remembered what the elder at home had reminded her about. She would come over these few days to water the flowers as well as make some food for the kids.

“Got it, Grandmother,” Xi Xiaye replied.

“At the opening ceremony of Imperial Sky Entertainment City a few days ago, your grandfather went for a while, but he lost interest when he found out you both left early. I checked with Ah Mo and realized someone gave you trouble. Are you alright?” Wang Hui had heard something regarding Xi Xiaye and the Xi family.

“I’m alright. You don’t have to worry about me, Grandmother,” Xi Xiaye looked at Wang Hui gratefully as she replied.

“That’s great then. By the way, I wanted to shop at the New Era Plaza this afternoon to buy something for your grandfather. Xiaye, come and accompany me. Uncle Xu took leave this afternoon. Chen, come back to the Mu Residence for dinner as well. Your parents are coming back tonight too.”

Uncle Xu was the chauffeur at the Mu Residence and he was on leave that day. Mainly, she also wanted to go shopping with Xiaye…
