She walked away under the warm sunset . The whole sky appeared to have lost its color due to her departure and even the fresh scent in the air disappeared as well .
Han Yifeng clenched his fists and took a deep breath . He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again . Finally, he moved away and walked up the staircase, leaving a long and lonely shadow .
When she arrived back at the car, Mu Yuchen was reading some documents in the front passenger seat, while Li Si and the bodyguard were sitting in the car behind .
“Where else are we going?” She asked as she started the car .
“Go home straight . ” He put the documents away and stared at her, but he started frowning when he saw the dull expression on her face . “What did you guys talk about just now? Weren't you alright just a moment ago?”
He was very upset with Han Yifeng . He was protecting her so carefully and trying to make her happy, but now the man had made her sad . Was he trying to make all his effort futile?
He was angry, but he suppressed it when he saw her expression .
Naturally, Xi Xiaye knew how he felt . She sighed, “Nothing much . He told me that he's canceling his marriage with Xi Xinyi, just like how he did with me back then . He just did it on a whim and never thought about how others would feel… as if he just threw away a heavy suitcase . I suddenly feel really sad for myself…”
“They're not getting married anymore?” Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows and grinned coldly . “Has he found a new pair of eyes? Does he finally know how to differentiate between good and bad people? Missus, although I really don't want to put it this way, this man is really an idiot . Why did you even like him back then? Is he handsome? Is he smart? Just what did you like about him?”
His tone was full of sarcasm .
Xi Xiaye turned her head over in surprise . She looked at the irate Mr . Mu now who was usually calm and composed . She did not expect that he would act like this .
His expression changed when he noticed Xi Xiaye's surprised expression, so he turned away and looked out the window .
“He's not handsome, not smart, and not as good as you . That's why I married you instead of him…” Xi Xiaye replied him seriously, letting go of the clutch, and the car started moving slowly .
He seemed to look better after he heard her reply . Returning to his usual cool, he glanced at her . “As long as you know it . ”
“I'm going to visit Su Nan tomorrow . Are you coming with me?”
Xi Xiaye laughed, then she remembered what Su Nan had told her the other day .
A woman needs to know how to deal with her husband . You need to provide him with all the ego in the whole world . Let him feel the pride and respect as a man . Let him feel that he cannot live without you anymore . Xiaye, go and conquer him . Take him down and you could become the real queen…
Xi Xiaye could not help but to chuckle out loud when she thought about Su Nan's behavior back then . She glanced over at the man beside her who was looking at her with alarm . His eyes sent shivers down Xi Xiaye's spine .
“Are you tricking me or something? Why the odd laugh?” He squinted his eyes and looked at her .
Xi Xiaye shrugged . “I didn't . Even if I was, I wouldn't tell you anyway! Don't touch me . I'm driving! I'm asking if you're coming with me…”
Mu Yuchen's answer was a “no” because Su Chen and Zhou Zimo came over early in the morning after they had breakfast . They had promised to play cards and have a drink together before going out somewhere .
Mu Yuchan handed the car keys to Xi Xiaye . “Come home earlier tonight . We're going back to the Mu Residence for a bit . ”
Xi Xiaye took it from him and nodded . “Please don't drink too much . I've asked Sis Wang to come and cook for you guys . Goodbye!”
She then went outside as Mu Yuchen turned away and walked towards Su Chen and Zhou Zimo .
“This is for you . It's Lingshi's license!”
Su Chen gave him something the moment Mu Yuchen sat down on the sofa .
“She called me several days ago and urged me for it . She always bothers me or Zimo when she needs help and not you as expected . You're her brother after all!” Su Chen complained .
Zhou Zimo picked up the license and took a look, guffawing when he saw the photo . “This girl has never changed . It's been quite a few years!”
“Please give it to her . Qingming is coming soon . She'll surely come back to visit his grave, so you can give it to her then,” Su Chen said quietly as he sipped some wine .
Mu Yuchen suddenly went quiet and had a depressed vibe around him for a while . Afterward, he grabbed the license and glanced at it before putting it into the coffee table drawer .
“Chen, it's all in the past now . You don't have to be so sensitive about it . He's already dead . He can't be revived no matter how sad we are . If it's about Lingshi, all these years, she didn't blame you at all, did she? There's no use if we need to have a moment of silence every time we mention this, right?” Su Chen could not help but nudge Mu Yuchen .
“Chen, I think Su Chen makes sense…” Zhou Zimo joined in as well, trading glances with Su Chen as they both looked at Mu Yuchen worriedly .
Mu Yuchen's eyes seemed quiet . After a brief moment, he placed his fingers on his forehead . He took a deep breath and said, “He's dead, but there are some things… that can never be forgotten . There's a lot that needs to be done . I can't let the case rest when the two are still not found . ”
Mu Yuchen's expression turned cold suddenly .
“What are you going to do about it? Are you going to search the whole world?” Zhou Zimo frowned .
“The reason I came back this time was to investigate this matter, and find out the reason for his behavior back then . ” Mu Yuchen took a sip of his wine and added, “It's also for Lingshi's sake . ”
Su Chen and Zhou Zimo just nodded . “Suit yourself then . Let us know if you need us . We're here for you . ”
