The Most Loving Marriage In History

Silence returned to the room once again.

Xi Xiaye looked at the closed door and her mind went fuzzy. She only came back to her senses when Mu Yuchen unpacked the medicine and handed the pills to her.

“They’ve left. What are you looking at? They’ll send the marriage certificate over by tomorrow morning. Take this medicine. You’ll get better soon.”

His deep voice was filled with warmth. Xi Xiaye raised her head and stared at him blankly. His black eyes looked at her worriedly, and she paused for a bit before taking the pills.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what happened?” She asked as she looked at him in the eye.

Mu Yuchen hesitated for a moment, then he laughed as he handed a glass of water to her. “A knife pierced through your shoulder. Do you want me to ask you if you were brave? Or if I feel that you’re powerful?”

She froze when she heard him. “You know all about it already?”

Mu Yuchen did not say a thing. He subtly tossed a piece of paper into the dustbin.

Actually, when she was unconscious, Li Si had told him all about what he discovered. Mu Yuchen more or less knew what had happened during the banquet.

Xi Xiaye lowered her gaze when he stayed silent. Taking a deep breath, she swallowed the pills in her hand with some water to wash away the bitter taste. “I never expected you to agree even under those circumstances. I…”

She had mixed feelings within her, but she was grateful for him always coming to her rescue during her time in need.

“Why shouldn’t I?” He asked as he took the empty glass from her. “I told you that I need a marriage, and that if you don’t mind, I’ll naturally accept you as my wife.”

Suddenly, Mu Yuchen swivelled his head around. His eyes were as dark as the night as he looked at her. His voice sounded genuine. “The moment you signed your name on the marriage contract, you’re my wife. There’s no chance of regretting it.”

No chance of regretting?

Would she even regret it?

Regret what?

There was nothing bad about it though. It was a clean cut with the past, forcing herself not to go back anymore. Maybe this was a chance for her to seek a new path in her life.

She was really tired of struggling with the same issue for so many year. Maybe, marrying someone would allow her to escape the suffocating feeling every time she returned to her empty house.

At least, she was able to triumph and get married before them. She supposed she could protect her stubborn pride.

Everything would be a new start. It had to be…

Xi Xiaye suddenly raised her head as a smile appeared across her beautiful face. Her eyes looked at him with genuine gratitude while she said quietly, “Thank you, Mu Yuchen. I’ll do my best to be your wife.”

A sense of warmth passed through Mu Yuchen’s elegant face as he saw her smile. His eyes seemed serious as he smiled back at her and his rare sense of humor surfaced. “I believe in my wife’s determination.”

Xi Xiaye could not hold in her laughter upon hearing his words. “Thank you for having faith in me, Mr. Mu, however I’m feeling hungry right now, can Mr. Mu go do some hunting and get some food for me? Just water isn’t able to satisfy me.”

She also pointed at the empty glass by the bedside table.

After a whole day with whatever that happened, she had not eaten anything at all. It was already midnight and naturally she felt hungry.

Mu Yuchen raised his brows and looked at her, his thin lips forming a grin. “I got Ah Mo to get you some porridge just now. The doctor said your wound is deep and you have to be careful in the next few days.”

A knock rapped on the door as soon as he finished his sentence, Ah Mo came in with two huge bags in his hands.

“Master! Director Xi, you’re awake! Master, the porridge is done. I also got some food for you. You haven’t had dinner too. Please eat something!”

Ah Mo placed the bags on the table opposite the bed. He took a thermal container out and walked towards the bedside. Producing a bowl, he poured the porridge into it.contemporary romance

“Thank you, Ah Mo!”

Xi Xiaye thanked Ah Mo and then tilted her head to look at Mu Yuchen. “I want to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow since it’s just a small wound. It’ll be fine if I take care of it.”

She disliked the antiseptic smell of the hospital. Every time she was sick, she would endure it. She would never enter a hospital unless it was absolutely necessary.

Hospitals always gave her an unusual sense of suffocation, which made her afraid like how she had been back then…

“The doctor said you need to stay for a or two day and only leave when your wound is alright. You can come straight to Maple Residence by then. I’ll get Ah Mo to pack up all your stuff and move in.”

The man’s voice was gentle yet firm. His piercing eyes made Xi Xiaye feel dazed with an unusual feeling in her heart.

“It’s okay. I’m really alright. I want to go back to the apartment and I don’t want to stay here. I still have to go to work tomorrow…”

She felt her head ache again the moment she thought of the South River project. She would rather find something to do instead of just eating and sleeping in the hospital. After all, her wound was not critical anyway, so there should not be any issue.
