“Who told you that his baby at home is his wife?”
Mu Yuchen pulled a chair out for her, and she sat down as she let her long, black hair down casually . She looked just like an ordinary girl when she was in her casual clothes .
She had recovered considerably compared to her gloominess several days ago .
“It's not?”
“You're the baby in our house . The baby in his house is a Persian cat . ”
Mu Yuchen sat down opposite her, extending his arm over and slicing the steak up for her . She was pleasantly surprised when he delivered a piece of steak right into her mouth .
She ate it without any resistance .
“Grandfather's matter is settled now . Li Si just came over and delivered the folder Grandfather gave you the last time . Inside it is the dowry he prepared for you,” spoke Mu Yuchen as he continued cutting the steak up .
Xi Xiaye was suddenly reminded that Xi Jiyang had mentioned leaving her some dowry since he was unable to attend her wedding .
“What is it?” she asked .
Mu Yuchen heard the sorrow in her tone, so he raised his head and looked at her . He fed her another piece of the steak . “It's the ownership of West Park, as well as several lands in the east of the city . They are all pretty valuable . Grandfather made some arrangements with Lawyer Wang and those are all yours now . Sign your name on the document and Li Si will get stuff done for you . ”
Ownership of West Park!
Stunned, Xi Xiaye's eyes turned blank as she looked at Mu Yuchen's eyes in shock .
“This is his compensation for you . Just take it and let him rest easy . Sign your name on it later . Those women are hunting for it . Ha, they think these are with Father now . ”
Mu Yuchen poured her a glass of wine after he finished cutting up the steak .
“Grandfather…” Xi Xiaye wanted to say something . However, as the words were teetering on the verge of her lips, she did not know what else she could say . Instead, she clenched her grip on the fork and then nodded slightly after a while .
“I'll sign it later . Please get Li Si and the others to work on it . ” She then sipped some wine .
“Grandfather also left Mother a letter . Give it to her when you're heading back to the Shen Residence . It's inside the folder . ”
“A letter?” Xi Xiaye shot him a doubtful look .
Mu Yuchen could already guess what it was about without reading it . It must be about the past, and with Li Si's investigation, he already knew exactly what had happened . Because of it, he felt that it would be best if Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan could get back together .
As for Xi Mushan and Yue Lingsi, he did not want to comment on it . Being a man himself, he could only say that he respected Xi Mushan like a father . Like Xiaye, he wished for Shen Wenna and him to be happy .
“I'll go back to the Shen Residence tomorrow then . I'll head to the office in the afternoon . ”
“It's up to you . We've delegated all the work in the office anyway . Li Si will be busy working with Vice President Liu for the next few days . Please be my temporary personal assistant . ” He laughed as he handed her a napkin .
Xi Xiaye stared at him, taking the napkin . “Why me? Didn't you just get two new secretaries?”
“They're not used to the job yet . Our wedding is coming up soon . What's wrong with us communicating more? Aren't you happy to be working with me?” Mu Yuchen squinted, analyzing her with his dangerous gaze .
While her expression seemed gentle, she rolled her eyes at him . After a while, she said, “Mr . Mu, people say that distance can create more sweetness . ”
“Don't listen to that unhealthy nonsense . Distance creates a third party . A relationship will only become stronger if the couple is always together,” he replied self-righteously .
“A third party? Are you someone like that, Mr . Mu?” She narrowed her eyes this time with a warning gaze . “If you dare to do so, I'll end you, and then pour acid all over the woman's face . Afterwards, I'll get someone to curse you both!”
“That wicked?” Smiling, he gave her a very sweet gaze .
“Yes! I'm a wicked witch . ” She then went on enjoying the steak .
Mu Yuchen stopped his movements and just looked at her quietly for a while . His long fingers snuck nearer and pushed the hair that got stuck on her face away . His tone of voice was sensual and serious . “Mr . Mu belongs exclusively to this witch . Don't ask such silly questions anymore . ”
“It's a serious question . Why do you think it's silly?” Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows before she raised her wine glass .
He raised his wine glass at the same time as well . “Because it sounded silly…”
“Damn it!”
Xi Xiaye did the dishes after dinner while Mu Yuchen went upstairs for a shower . He came out of the bedroom in his sleeping robe by the time she was done .
“Come and take a look . Sign it,” he said as he walked into the study room .
Xi Xiaye dried her hands and then went into the study room as well .
He stood beside the tall bookshelf and grabbed the folder . Then, he pointed at the table and she understood, so she went over .
“Take a look by yourself . I'll give it to Li Si tomorrow after you've signed it . Are you okay going back to the Shen Residence alone?” He handed her the documents .
“Are you coming to the Shen Residence for lunch?” she asked as she took the documents from the folder .
“It depends . I'll call you . ”
Xi Xiaye was surprised again when she read through the documents . She never expected Xi Jiyang to…
She signed it after some hesitation .
Xi Xiaye looked at the letter for some time before asking, “What do you think Grandfather wrote to Mother?”
“You'll find out when you read it to her tomorrow . ”
She kept all the documents into her briefcase . Then, he continued, “Ah Mo is going abroad in two days . Lingshi just mentioned that she wants to hang out with you and Su Nan . ”
