The Most Loving Marriage In History

Xi Xiaye’s gaze followed Shen Yue’s line of sight towards Mu Yuchen, yet she noticed that he remained calm and composed, standing neither servile nor overbearing. He simply allowed Shen Yue to stare, glare, and size him up.

“Are you Mu Yuchen? The grandson of those two old folks, Wang Hui and Mu Yinan?” A while after, Shen Yue’s aged and gloomy voice finally rang out, thickening the vaguely stifling and threatening vibe in the air quite a bit.

Xi Xiaye became even more nervous as she quickly went up and said, “Grandpa, this is our fault. We…”

“You’re at fault? What did you do wrong?” Shen Yue’s voice became even more stern. It was not at all like his usually loving, gentle self. She knew well that the matter this time had made him very upset. After some thought, she let go of Mu Yuchen’s sleeve and walked towards Shen Yue. “Grandpa, it’s our fault for getting married without informing you guys, but all of this was my idea…”

“Did I ask you? You stand aside. I’m asking him!” Shen Yue did not care and looked past Xi Xiaye, his sharp eyes falling onto Mu Yuchen again.

Mu Yuchen’s expression was calm. He did not bat an eyelid as he sized Shen Yue up in response. His vigor did not lose out to Shen Yue’s as he very coolly pulled Xi Xiaye over. Under Shen Yue’s blade-sharp threatening gaze, he pulled Xi Xiaye to sit down.

“This was rather sudden. We’ve already received our marriage certificate, and now we’re also a right and proper married couple. We don’t want to explain too much. Grandpa, if you’re unhappy, please come and talk to me. It has nothing to do with this silly one. I bewitched her into signing the marriage contract.”

Mu Yuchen was the kind of person who was not eloquent at explaining. Being in the business circle for a long time now, he cared more about the outcome instead of the process.

His tone was deep and calm while his pitch-black eyes were filled with sincerity and a reserved manner. With his graceful and gentle demeanor, his composure amidst the tense situation unexpectedly made Shen Yue feel like he did not know how to vent his fury.

As he kept reflecting about it, Shen Yue angrily said, “Do we still exist to you two? Is marriage child’s play? If it were not for your grandmother and the rest mentioning it, I’d still be in the dark right now.”

“Grandpa, we were planning to go back to the Shen residence this weekend…” Xi Xiaye quickly tried to explain as she turned to look at Mu Yuchen. Her beautiful brows frowned slightly. “He’s a very kind person. I just wanted to give myself a chance to start a new life.”

Shen Yue’s face sank. He fell silent for a while before he suddenly asked, “Why so sudden?”

His gaze went back and forth between Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye. When Wang Hui had called, he had told her not to trouble the children. Previously, he had also heard some things from the Xi family, so he knew about the news of Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi’s engagement.

Even though Shen Yue did not pay much attention to the Xi family matters, he loved Xi Xiaye dearly. As for Xi Xiaye and Han Yifeng’s situation, he more or less knew about it.

As she listened, Xi Xiaye suddenly fell silent and the incidents that had happened replayed very clearly in her head again. From the way Deng Wenwen looked like a bully making her sign those papers, Grandfather’s cold figure by the window, Han Yifeng kneeling down to propose to Xi Xinyi, and the way Deng Wenwen had sent her right into Qi Lei’s arms…

As she thought about all of these, her beautiful face instantly turned pale. The wound on her shoulder that had already formed a scab seemed to begin vaguely heating up and hurting again.

Mu Yuchen suddenly turned to her. When he saw her pained expression, there was a flash in his eyes. “Because someone needs to assume responsibility for some things. At this point, I just want to be responsible for her. If it can make everyone more at ease, I’m willing to assume all responsibility.”

While Xi Xiaye obviously understood the meaning of Mu Yuchen’s words, Shen Yue did not. As he listened, his heart sank. He had very easily started to think otherwise, and his aged expression started to turn dark.

He stared at Mu Yuchen for quite a while before he said through gritted teeth, “How dare you bring this up? Can’t you just hold it in? Wait till you’ve met the parents and settled marriage matters! Can’t you young people just be as crazy as you wish after that?”

When Shen Yue said this, Xi Xiaye was startled and could not react immediately. She was stunned for a long while and did not understand what he meant. She subconsciously turned to look at Mu Yuchen. Noticing that Mu Yuchen’s expression remained as usual and that there was a flash of clarity in his eyes, she wanted to ask something, yet Shen Yue’s dissatisfied voice once again stuttered to ask, “You’ve got… news?”

Mu Yuchen’s eyes very quickly blazed as he looked meaningfully to the dazed Xi Xiaye beside him and fell silent for a moment. He frankly answered, “I don’t know. I’m worried that after we get the news, it’d be harder to explain, so we wanted to quickly get it done.”

“You make it sound like you’re so responsible. I’m a man too and I’ve been young and reckless but I wouldn’t have made such a mistake!” Shen Yue looked irritatedly at Mu Yuchen.

While Mu Yuchen just looked at Shen Yue calmly, the two of them exchanged a look. It was a look that only could be understood between men.

Shen Yue glared at Mu Yuchen, then he turned his head the other way. “Hmph!”

Xi Xiaye reacted a little slowly as she looked at Shen Yue, then to the man beside her again. She did not know what they were talking about; they seemed to be speaking in code. She frowned for a while, then reached out to lightly touch Mu Yuchen’s large hand, while he just lifted a hand to hold down her hand without even looking at her.

“Please, Grandpa, believe in my sincerity. Since I’ve married her, I will be completely responsible for her. Grandfather, Grandmother, and my parents admire Xiaye very much. Now, we just hope to get Grandpa and Mother-in-law’s affirmation,” Mu Yuchen said in a deep and sincere voice.

“Grandpa, I sincerely wanted to marry him. It was also me who made him marry me immediately. We’ve been doing very well these past few days. I wasn’t intentionally hiding it from you and you don’t have to blame him. I’m the main culprit. He’s just guilty by association.” Xiaye was worried that Shen Yue would say something that made things difficult for him, so she quickly said all of this. She did not know when she began to speak like Mu Yuchen.contemporary romance

“You’re grown-up now. It’s only been a few days and already you’re defending him. Xiaye, when did you mature?”

When Shen Yue saw the way Xi Xiaye was so protective over Mu Yuchen, he did feel slightly glad on the inside. Then, for some reason, he felt jealousy, regret, and at a loss.

With regards to Mu Yuchen, Shen Yue obviously knew him well. Back then, when Wang Hui had mentioned him, he had paid special attention to him.
