Xi Mushan was startled when Shen Wenna questioned him . Instantly, he put up an apologetic expression on his handsome face, but he did not defend himself . After all, he was at fault in this matter…
“I understand that it's a difficult situation for you, but you should know your daughter well . I don't care how you and Yue Lingsi betrayed me back then . I also don't care how Xi Xinyi imitated her mother and attacked Xiaye, but I just hope that you can protect this peace Xiaye has found after marrying Chen . This is something you can do, isn't it?”
Shen Wenna looked at Xi Mushan straight in the eye . e, “Xiaye has always been concerned about us . I have to say that I'm not a responsible mother to her…”
“Wenna, I'm sorry… I've always felt guilty towards you all these years . Every time I see Xiaye, I'd… I went to look for you at the school before… I wanted to talk to you . If… If…”
“What for? Can't you give me some peace alone? You know very well that Yue Lingsi came and looked for me the last time . Moreover, things are over between us . Please don't be like this,” Shen Wenna sighed .
“Wenna, we're not young anymore . I wish to live for myself,” Xi Mushan said quietly .
“Please stop saying that . I'm tired . I don't want to argue with you on this anymore . Since you said so, then please go back to your wife and live happily ever after with her . I'm not interested in interfering at all . I'm fine . You don't have to worry . Things are great for me now . Didn't we live peacefully all this time? Why do you have to break the peace now?” Shen Wenna raised her head and looked at Xi Mushan .
“I can't let you go, Wenna…”
Shen Wenna's expression changed and she had a mocking smile on her face when she heard Xi Mushan's words . “So? Who do you think I am? Don't forget that you have your own family now . Don't make me look down on you!”
“I've never touched her except that night! Wenna, you knew that I thought she was you, so…” Xi Mushan looked guilty and his eyes were cold . “Who knew she would go overseas in secret, and even give birth to Xinyi?”
Shen Wenna laughed coldly at him . Having lost interest, she was about to head back into the house . “There's no meaning to your words now . No matter how good your reasons are, you can't erase the fact that you've betrayed me, Xi Mushan . I hope that you can be responsible and bear your faults . At least, that can still impress me . ”
“Wenna!” Xi Mushan coughed lightly as he grabbed Shen Wenna's hand, but she swiftly avoided him .
Xi Mushan closed his eyes in agony after he saw Shen Wenna step back into the house . He took a deep breath as the pain seeped deep into his heart . Depression shrouded him .
There were some mistakes that could never be corrected . No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do .
After some time, Shen Wenna went back to school and the Mu Tangchuan couple had something to work on as well . Shen Yue and Mu Yinan were going to play golf . Xi Jiyang invited Mu Yuchen to visit West Park some time, but Xi Xiaye rejected . She really did not want to see people that would make her upset .
Mu Yuchen just let her be .
After they went back into the living room after sending them off, Xi Xiaye sat down tiredly as she accepted the cup of tea he handed her .
“I don't know what Mother told Father, but from the way he looks, he seemed pretty sad…”
“Father should still have feelings for Mother . His eyes say it all,” he replied indifferently .
She gave it some thought before nodding . She then sighed, “There seems to be an uncrossable realm between them . There's nothing I can do to help . ”
She placed the cup down and then looked at the man beside her . She stared at him for some time before asking, “Will you make the same mistake in the future?”
He looked up from the newspaper and glanced at her . After a brief moment, he replied, “Do you think there's anyone else that can satisfy me besides you?”
“Can't you be more serious? I'm not joking around here!” Xi Xiaye grabbed a pillow nearby and threw it at him as her face blushed .
He blocked the pillow she threw with one hand, and then replied to her with a serious expression, “Do I not look serious to you right now?”
Xi Xiaye glared at him before cleaning up the table . All of them were items Wang Hui had brought over from the Mu Residence . She moved the bags a little and she saw their contents .
Velvet antler?
Velvet antler wine?
Those words reminded her of the aphrodisiac qualities of the contents!
However, did he really need it?
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment . She glanced at him and saw that he had already gone back to reading his papers . She then packed the stuff up swiftly, but her sudden movements actually alerted him .
He raised his head and saw her flushed face . “What's wrong? Are you sick?” He put down the newspaper and wanted to help .
“Nope, it's alright . I'll do it . You sit down!” She moved around and continued to work on packing .
He had better not touch these things . She remembered that Wang Hui made her ate some supplements and she had felt odd after that .
Mu Yuchen looked at her in doubt . He suddenly grabbed the bag she packed and she quickly seized his hand . “These are mine…”
“Let me see what's inside!”
“No!”
“Just a look!”
“No, don't move!”
She hugged the bag in front of her, and at that moment, someone's phone rang . Mu Yuchen gripped her arm with one hand and took out the phone with another to answer the call .
“Xiaye, it's me…”
A deep voice reached his ear, sounding a little familiar . Mu Yuchen took a small pause as frigidity surfaced on his face .
Xi Xiaye soon noticed that something was not right . She tilted her head over and looked at the phone screen curiously .
“What's wrong?”
