The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

Qi Lei frowned when Yang Sheng said this.

“Elder Chairman Mu’s health hasn’t been good since autumn. Even Ah Mo and Miss Lingshi have returned. I’m really worried about whether Elder Chairman Mu will be able to survive this time.” Yang Sheng sighed.

Qi Lei took a deep breath before saying, “Prepare a car for me. I want to go over and take a look.”

Yang Sheng nodded immediately. “Okay, I’ll go now!”

Then, he quickly left as well.

…

It was almost noon. The autumn sun was hazy, and the cool breeze was light.

Inside the Mu residence.

“Master, the Old Master has already fallen asleep.”

Doctor Zhong carefully exited the room and saw Mu Yuchen leaning against the railing as he waited.

Mu Yuchen nodded. His tired eyes were slightly bloodshot as a dim light gathered in them. Xi Xiaye looked haggard as she stood beside him, her hands holding onto him nervously.

“Let’s talk downstairs.”

Mu Yuchen took a look inside the room and took a deep breath. He turned around and walked towards the staircase as he patted Xi Xiaye’s thin shoulder lightly.

Xi Xiaye’s eyes suddenly felt a little hot. Looking at Doctor Zhong’s gloomy expression, she could also guess that the situation was not looking good. Even Mu Yuchen…

Doctor Zhong nodded and followed Mu Yuchen downstairs while Xi Xiaye followed behind.

When they reached the sofa, Mu Yuchen pointed at the seat opposite him, and Doctor Zhong sat down as well.

Xi Xiaye poured water for the two of them and then sat down next to Mu Yuchen.

“Tell me about the situation. He hasn’t rested for the past few days and couldn’t eat anything. This morning, Lingshi fed him two mouthfuls of millet congee, but he didn’t eat anything after that.”

Mu Yuchen frowned as he asked while taking out a cigarette from his cigarette pack and lighting it up. His tone was depressed and deep.

Doctor Zhong let out a long sigh and looked at Mu Yuchen with some gloominess. His tone was filled with a solemnness that could not hide, “Master, the elder’s situation isn’t very objective. I’m afraid he won’t be able to make it. You guys have to be mentally prepared. His will to live isn’t strong anymore. Ever since the Elder Madam passed away, his mental health hasn’t gotten better. It’s not easy for him to be able to hold on until now. Especially this year, every time I give him a routine check-up, I realize that his body is much worse than before.”

When Doctor Zhong said this, Xi Xiaye could not bear to hear it anymore. She could not help but cover her face with both hands, trembling slightly, and silently shed tears—

“Is there no other way? Can’t we just give him a nutrient solution if he’s weak? Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng are still so young… They haven’t even remembered him deeply yet…”

The sound of sobs could be heard, Xi Xiaye was choking on her tears already.

Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. He blinked and pulled her into his embrace. Xi Xiaye sniffed sadly and hugged him tightly.

“It’s the same no matter where you go. Master, Missus, you have to be mentally prepared. I’m afraid he won’t be able to last much longer. Let’s see if the elder still has any unfulfilled wishes. Do your best to satisfy him.”

Doctor Zhong replied solemnly.

Mu Yuchen was silent for a moment before he let out a puff of smoke. He put out most of the cigarette before saying, “I understand. Thank you, Doctor Zhong.”

“Master, Missus, you don’t have to be too sad. It’s inevitable that you’ll be born, grow old, fall ill, and die. The elder has lived a wonderful life. In fact, a few months ago, the elder already realized that his body doesn’t have much time left. He told me that he doesn’t have any regrets in this life,” said Doctor Zhong.

“Grandfather has indeed lived a wonderful life. I hope that he can live a few more years and live a long life. Isn’t that pretty good? Maybe he misses Grandmother too much, but he couldn’t keep her around longer.”

Mu Yuchen raised his hand to rub the space between his brows as he said this with some disappointment.

“Alright, thank you Doctor Zhong. Go back and rest first. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”

Mu Yuchen consoled with his hand and said with a heavy tone.

Doctor Zhong nodded and then left quietly.

All of a sudden, only Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were left in the living room.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. You’ve been too tired these past few days. Go back and rest first, hmm?”

His deep voice was a little hoarse. As Mu Yuchen spoke, he pulled Xi Xiaye out of his embrace and looked at her with concern.

Xi Xiaye sniffled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine. Ah Shi and Ah Mo, on the other hand, they’ve been guarding for the whole night. Go up and get them to come down and eat something. Then, get some rest. Father and Mother have been quite tired these past few days, and you. I can still hold on.”

“Alright, don’t try to be brave. If this goes on, everyone will fall. Go up and let Lingshi and Ah Mo rest first. Then, you go rest too. Keep watch over them. It’ll be fine, be good and go up.”

Mu Yuchen himself was a little exhausted. Over the past week, Mu Yinan’s situation had deteriorated rapidly. He could only run between the company and the old residence. The projects in City B were very tight, so he could only leave it to Qi Lei.

Xi Xiaye eased up a little and could only nod. “You rest too then. We’re all a little distracted, I don’t know what to do. Father, mother, and the others…”

“They’ve already applied for leave. They’ll be staying with us for the next few days. I’ll call Father and the others later to send the children over. After applying for leave, stay home for the next few days. Grandfather was still looking for our son earlier.”

“Mmm, you call mother then. I’ll go upstairs first. I think Ah Shi is too tired to hold on anymore.”

Xi Xiaye stood up as she spoke.

Mu Yuchen very considerately took a tissue and handed it over. “Wipe your tears, don’t let them see it. Otherwise, they’ll all be sad.”

Xi Xiaye nodded silently and took it. She wiped the corner of her eyes and calmed down for a while before walking towards the stairway.

When he saw Xi Xiaye’s slender figure disappear at the stairway, Mu Yuchen slowly averted his gaze. He rubbed his slightly aching forehead as he called Xi Mushan.

The phone rang a few times before Xi Mushan picked up—

“Hello? Ah Chen?”

“It’s me, Father…”

“How is it? Is your grandfather alright?” Xi Mushan asked with concern.

“It’s still the same. Father, I’ll have to trouble you to pick up the children. Take a leave of absence for the next few days. Doctor Zhong said that Grandfather will only have a few days left. Bring Xiao Cheng back too, Grandfather was asking for them earlier.” Mu Yuchen said gloomily.

Xi Mushan was silent for a moment. After a while, he sighed—

“Sigh, alright. You have to be strong too, understand?”

“Mmm, don’t worry, Father.”
