The Most Loving Marriage In History

She did not want to think about it too much. After struggling for so many years, she was very clear about it. In the end, what did she gain from all of this?

She had lost everything a long time ago!

All her endurance had only resulted in false hope, so she could only remain silent and face it head on indifferently.

She did not know if she would explode in her silence, but she knew that she was really exhausted. If she continued to struggle, she might not be the same Xi Xiaye anymore.

“I’m not very familiar with Yueying, but I do know that most of the artistes under them are pretty popular, so even if they are facing this issue, they won’t fall so easily. Maybe we can try to ask for an alliance and then try to find a way to take over it,” Xi Xiaye voiced out her opinion after a short pause.

“So, should we go for a peaceful resolution before resorting to using force?” Mu Yuchen was surprised by how clear her judgment was.

Xi Xiaye nodded. “I guess so. The company is mostly managed by Grandmother and the Elder Madam of the Xi family and Yue Lingsi. As for Grandfather and Mayor Xi, they are usually uninvolved, so…”

“Mmm, I’ll think about it,” Mu Yuchen replied after she went silent. Then, he closed his eyes and rested as well.

The car fell silent as no one said anything while it traveled through the drizzle straight towards Maple Residence.

After some time, Xi Xiaye, who had been focusing on the road, took a glance at the man beside her. He still had his eyes closed with a slight frown on his face. He did not seem to be sleeping comfortably. Then, she asked quietly, “Is there any hangover remedy back at home?”

“I don’t need it. It’s fine.”

Mu Yuchen turned over to face her. “Didn’t you walk around today? Did you find anything you liked?”

“I just went to help Su Nan pick their wedding rings. They are registering their marriage in the next few days. Their wedding is on the 15th this month, so we’d better prepare gifts beforehand.”

Xi Xiaye could not help but have a joyful smile on her face. “Finally, they’re marrying each other. Back when we were still students, they were doing fine. I’m quite envious of them having a long-term relationship. It felt like a fairytale story came true since they’ve come a really long way from being childhood friends to a married couple.”

Evidently, she was touched by the series of events.

The man seemed indifferent about it, however. “Romantic fairytale? Just how old are you? Do you still believe in fairytales? I don’t like the idea of marrying childhood friends.”contemporary romance

Xi Xiaye was stunned when she heard him. Her eyes gleamed with curiosity as she looked at the man. With a grin, she asked, “Do you have a childhood friend as well?”

“You mean you?” Mu Yuchen replied Xi Xiaye’s question almost instantly, “You might have a chance if we rewound time twenty years back.”

Xi Xiaye shrugged and laughed. “That’s possible. I was quite pretty back then and many boys liked to befriend me when I was little. They often liked to share their food with me, so I saved quite some money since I didn’t need to spend on food.”

“How old were you back then? You were already using your charm already! I never knew that you were such a person, milady.” Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. Then, he admitted, “Indeed you’re quite a beauty…”

“Do you really not have any childhood friends? Why don’t you like the idea of it?” Xi Xiaye did not forget what he said just now and she tried to probe further.

“The Mu family is very strict. Grandmother forbade me from getting into a relationship too early. Moreover, little girls are annoying,” Mu Yuchen said straightforwardly.

Little girls were annoying?

Xi Xiaye was stunned. Then, she was reminded about what Su Nan said just now. “Mu Yuchen, you…”

As if he knew what she was going to say, Mu Yuchen glanced at her oddly and said, “Delete whatever that shouldn’t exist in your mind. Are you planning to drive along the sidewalk?”

“Ah!” Xi Xiaye then realized that she was in the middle of driving. The car had almost gone up onto the sidewalk, so she quickly braked. Her expression became slightly alarmed although the man beside her was calm as usual.

…

It was already late at night when they arrived back at Maple Residence.

Mu Yuchen was really tired, so he went straight to bed after a shower.

Xi Xiaye stayed in the study room for one and a half hours to look up on Yueying Culture Media Company. When she noticed the time, it was already midnight. She tidied up her stuff and went out of the study room.

It was dark when she entered the bedroom. A faint yellow light came from the wall lamp beside the window, and from where she stood at the entrance, she saw the man sleeping on his side.

Xi Xiaye did not turn on the lights. She padded over softly under the faint light before picking up the dirty clothes he left on the dressing table and went into the bathroom.

…

She quietly took a shower and started cleaning her wound.

Her wound was closing up perfectly. Although it still felt painful at times, it was much better compared to several days ago when it bled occasionally. She wondered if it would leave a scar…

Xi Xiaye studied the wound on her shoulder for some time and then sighed. She put on her sleeping robe, tied the sash and then left the bathroom quietly.

As she lifted the blanket to lie down, the man rolled over and grabbed her by her arm to pull her closer. His deep and slightly hoarse voice reached her ears. “The doctor reminded us that we’ve to go and check up on the wound these few days.”

“Are you going with me?” Xi Xiaye glanced at him and asked since he reminded her about it.

“Mmm, let’s go take a look tomorrow after breakfast. It’s the weekend anyway,” he said quietly.

Looking into his indifferent eyes along with his unique, pleasant scent around her, Xi Xiaye felt odd. To be exact, she felt oddly uncomfortable and her face was starting to get flushed…

Their bodies were starting to emit their natural heat that seeped through their sleeping robes. Xi Xiaye felt some warmth from him and involuntarily, her stiff body started to relax.

“Oh,” she replied after a while, looking downwards uncontrollably to avoid looking at him…
