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

“Master Qi!” Yang Sheng chased him from behind and called out anxiously.

“It’s fine. You can head back for now. Hand me the documents tomorrow.” Qi Lei left with his last message before disappearing into the crowd. Yang Sheng wanted to catch up, but the butler stared at him coldly, so he stopped immediately.

Yang Sheng stood there for a while after Qi Lei left. His strained expression relaxed down after he thought about it and tried his best to calm down. Then, he took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.

Mu Yuchen was on his way to the Imperial Sky Entertainment City when he received the phone call while Xi Xiaye was sitting in the front passenger seat.

There was some traffic on the way, so his eyes were focused on the front as he reached into his pocket for his phone. He handed it to Xi Xiaye and she gladly answered the call.

“Hello?”

Yang Sheng was familiar with her gentle voice.

“Director Xi? It’s you! Chairman Mu…”

“Assistant Yang? Are you guys back in City Z?” Xi Xiaye realized it was Yang Sheng’s voice.

“We just landed, but Master Qi was taken away by force before he could even exit the airport. Is that bad news?” Yang Sheng sounded worried.

“Qi Lei was forced to go back home?” Xi Xiaye captured the key information and was startled as she frowned. “Give me a second. Talk to Chairman Mu.”

Xi Xiaye then handed the phone back to Mu Yuchen. “It’s Qi Lei’s assistant, Yang Sheng. Talk to him.”

Mu Yuchen turned over and looked at her. Then, he parked the car on the roadside before taking the phone.

“It’s me.”

“Chairman Mu…” Yang Sheng quickly told Mu Yuchen what happened.

Mu Yuchen listened quietly and soon answered, “Okay, I understand. You should head back home for now.” He hung up on the call after that.

“What’s wrong?” Xi Xiaye asked when she noticed him frowning.

Mu Yuchen put his phone away and started the car engine again.

“Qi Qiming forced Qi Lei to go home. It should be for Qi Feng’s sake. Qi Lei is pretty stubborn when going up against Qi Qiming. His tenacity could be both good and bad, but he’ll be at a disadvantage,” he commented.

Xi Xiaye lowered her head and gave it some thought. She then nodded in agreement. “That’s just how he is. I remember when I first got to know him, I thought of him as a skirt-chaser, but later on, I realized he’s actually a nice person after getting to know him better. He always puts on a defensive barrier around himself, and I do pity him at times since I see my past self in him.”

“Are you worried about him?” He turned around and looked at her pointedly. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get jealous?”

Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows. “How I wish you would! I know you won’t anyway. I’ll have you bear in mind that my marketability is still high.”

“Your marketability has always been high. Didn’t some guys try to get close to you at the few parties we attended recently?” His tone sounded different than usual as he narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.

She chuckled. “Ah-ha! You’ve been watching me all along!”

“Of course!” Mu Yuchen looked at her and admitted without shying away.

“I guess I’m just that charming then. We’re arriving at Imperial Sky soon. Leave me in front and you can go off. I suppose they’ve been waiting for a long time. I’ll leave Qi Lei to you then.”

Xi Xiaye just pushed all the responsibility to him since it was a very common habit of hers to leave her troubles to Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen squinted his eyes at her and whined in an unhappy tone although he had no intention of scolding her at all, “You’re the same as Qi Lei now, aren’t you, always relying on me? Can you be more independent?”

“Don’t you want me to?” She grinned at him slyly.

He just smiled quietly as he drove towards the entrance of Imperial Sky Entertainment City and stopped.

“Get your gloves and phone,” Xi Xiaye handed him his coat as she reminded him, “I’ll be back to fetch you later. Be mindful of how much you drink.”

Mu Yuchen took his jacket and nodded. He left a kiss on her forehead before getting out of the car. “Don’t be too late, and call me if there’s anything.”

“Okay, Uncle Lan has been waiting. I’ll be going now!”

“Okay.” He finally got out of the car.

Xi Xiaye sat in the driver’s seat and started driving.

At the same time, at the Qi residence, Qi Qiming was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Qi Feng there as well. Only two of them were in the living room at the moment since Gu Lingsha and the servants were busy cooking in the kitchen.

“Qi Lei has been staying in Qi Kai all these years. He’s still his same old self, but his hatred towards me has grown stronger ever since his mother’s death.”

Qi Qiming looked at Qi Feng warmly although his tone sounded helpless. “I let him take over your mother’s position since her death because I hope he could pull himself together. I also wanted to keep those folks from the Wang Corporation in check.

“He never tried to understand me at all. He’s as stubborn as your mother. A few days ago, he came here and took away everything that belonged to your mother, announcing that he has nothing to do with this family anymore. He’s just the worst!”

Qi Qiming rarely told people what he thought, but he was really bothered that Qi Lei was still nowhere to be seen.

“Give the butler a call and see how it’s going.”
