Are you going to Chairman Mus place for a barbeque? Ji Zitong muttered softly.

Su Chen nodded gently as he finished the tea in his cup before continuing, Mmm, we buddies used to always gather together. Next time, youll have to try blending into our lives too. Youve probably met Ah Chen many times, and Zimos a pretty easygoing person too.

Ji Zitong naturally knew the three of them. She pondered for a while, then nodded. Mmm, got it.

Xiayes a pretty great person. In fact, youre quite close to her, so you can keep in touch with her more from time to time. This time its considered a celebration for Ah Chen. Just leave the present to me.

Su Chen massaged the tension between his brows and got up with waning interest. Okay, go upstairs when youre done drinking. Im going upstairs for a shower. Ill prepare the bathwater for you.

Ji Zitong nodded silently while Su Chens tall figure walked past her.

…

The cold night grew late and the moon hung high up in the sky. The crisp splendor of the moon shone all over the ground, reflecting the faint mist and engulfing the entire Grand Waves Villa in a mesmerizing haze. The cool breeze rustled past, turning the twilight into a light muslin dancing in the wind.

At the moment inside Maple Residence, it was also a time of glorious lights. The two rows of streetlights in the front yard were indistinctly releasing a faint luster. Unlike the haziness from a few days ago, right now it seemed to emit a clear and bright warmth.

Mu Yuchen went straight home after parting ways with Su Chen. When he reached Maple Residence, only Sis Wang and the few servants were at home. Mu Zicheng was at the old Mu residence because it had been an unusual period of time recently, so he stayed with Wang Hui, Aunt Fang and Aunt Lin there. Wang Hui and the rest had the experience and energy to take care of the child, hence Xi Xiaye felt assured leaving him with them.

After some thought, Mu Yuchen decided to cook, and properly reward his lady, Xi Xiaye.

When Mu Yuchen was busy in the kitchen, Sis Wang felt like she could not really help out. Then, she looked at the clock on the wall in the living room, and the time had slowly inched towards 8 p.m. It was already quite late, so then she voiced out her concern, Master, Missus has been coming home quite late these past few days. Two days ago, she was also busy till 9 p.m. before going home. How about we call her tonight to urge her to come back? Im afraid she still doesnt know that youve been released.

The busy Mu Yuchen then stopped what he was doing to turn and look at Sis Wang. He thought about it before a faint smile rippled across his handsome face and he said softly, No worries. Lets wait. Its the weekend tomorrow, so its not too late yet. You have all worked hard these past few days. Make some arrangements for only one or two people to stay back. All of you should get a break too. His tone was modest.

Sis Wang smiled gratefully. Its nothing. Missus always looks after us too, so we havent been tired out, but, Master, we were all very worried that something like this would happen, especially Missus. When I woke up in the wee hours of the morning, I would often still see the light in the study room switched on. Sometimes, it would be like that till daybreak. It was quite heartbreaking to watch.

Sis Wang was familiar with Mu Yuchens life, so she knew about Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiayes situation very well. Back then when he brought Xi Xiaye back to the Maple Residence for the first time, Ah Mo had called her over to serve them. She had witnessed all the hardships that Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had gone through together, thus she felt a particular tenderness and concern for the couple.

Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen paused. Moments after that, he sighed softly and quietly turned around to continue what he was working on. In a raspy voice, he said, She can be like that. Next time when Im not home, you should all watch over her. She can be like a little girl sometimes, and is rather stubborn.

When Sis Wang heard her employer, she instantly smiled. Thats true. Ive heard that no matter how strong your wife can be outside, once she gets home, shell be like an innocent little girl to her husband. This is a good thing thats worth looking forward to, and its a very common thing to refine a relationship between husband and wife.

Mu Yuchen chuckled softly without a word. He relaxed a bit and then continued, Okay, make the arrangements. We dont need all of you to work now. Come back on the night when the weekend ends. Ill be home these next two days.

Okay then, Ill make the arrangements and return home for two days, Sis Wang said knowingly. Naturally, she understood and would give the husband and wife some personal space.

Mu Yuchen nodded gently before Sis Wang then went out again.

Sis Wang had just left Maple Residence not too long when a black car drove into Grand Waves Villa, coated with the cold and hazy night breeze. It turned a few quiet corners before steadily stopping before the entrance of Maple Residence.

The Porsche car door was opened, revealing Xi Xiaye the way she always was. She dragged her worn-out body out of the car while her hand held a heavy black briefcase.

These past few days, she had been working till late at the office. In fact, all the recent problems had been quite worrying. Quite a number of things were affected by the first few days of the incident, but now it was slowly going back to the way it was. Still, she needed to watch over those things properly. For instance, today, she had gone to quite a few factories and shopping malls to inspect the situation, so she had no time to catch her breath. However, as long as she could stabilize the company as soon as possible, it was all worth it. That way, he would not need to be too worried when he got back.

Xi Xiaye locked the car and went into the villa with her briefcase in her hand. freeebnovel.com

Just like they had for the past few days, the lights at home were left switched on.

Sis Wang would not sleep before she returned. Actually, when she waited for her to get home these past few days, she would immediately serve her warm dishes and take care of her considerately.

Xi Xiaye had just reached home when she immediately lay down on the sofa. She almost could not pick herself up. With a sigh, she closed her eyes, feeling exhausted as she called out, Sis Wang, bring me a glass of water please!

Nevertheless, she had only laid down for a short while when a glass of warm water was brought to her. Without looking up, she just took it and drank it all down in a few gulps. She cleared her throat when she was done, and then frowned before handing the glass back. In between gulps, she found it a little odd. Why did she seem to catch a whiff of Mr. Mus cold fragrance?

After that, she just thought that it was her own illusion since it had been like that for these past few days.

Ji Zitong immediately rolled her eyes at him. Do you think I have the time for that?

No, Master Su answered very firmly.

Ji Zitongs stiff expression then began to ease as she inhaled and look out of the car window. The sky had already turned dark outside while the streetlights on both sides were lit up. She could still see couples holding hands on the sidewalk or young lovers walking past in each others embrace.

Ji Zitong actually quite liked the feeling of going for a spin in the car on wide roads like these as she watched these people and the streetscape. Of course, the ride should not coincide with the traffic like it did this moment because it would only ruin the mood.

The traffic lights turned red, and the car was trapped in a gridlock.

Su Chen turned and saw that she looked extremely bored, so he reached out to play some very soothing Latin music in the car.

Ji Zitong suddenly remembered that when he first sent her home, he was also playing songs like these, so she could not help but ask him, Do you like foreign style music too?

I dont have a special preference. I quite like country music and folk music. I cant be certain about which one I like either. Its like how in high school, I liked pop music, but after joining the military academy, were so exhausted from training every day that Im not interested in any music. Once I left, I started listening to more of these, and then just got used to them, Su Chen responded calmly.

It looks like you werent satisfied with that lifestyle either, she said with a wry smile.

You silly! Who would be happy with that kind of highly stressful and challenging life? However, it really trains ones willpower. In the future, Id want to throw my child in there to train him for a bit too. Let him know that his old man used to enjoy that kind of life.

However, when Su Chen said that, Ji Zitong could not help but feel her heart palpitate as she stared at him in a daze.

Seeing her like that, Su Chen was bewildered for a moment too. After a while, he realized what he had just said. Then, he cleared his throat and shut his mouth to focus on driving while looking ahead instead while Ji Zitong only turned away and continued looking out of the window.

The car sped all the way. About half an hour later, they finally reached the neighborhood in which Su Chens villa was. The husband and wife went to buy ingredients from the nearby supermarket. After that, they rushed back home.

Naturally, dinner was still prepared by Su Chen since Ji Zitongs culinary skills were not that great. Even though Su Chen did not usually like to cook, now that he had a wife, he obviously had to show his demeanor as a man. However, Ji Zitong helped with the cutlery.

Su Chen ate very quickly. In fact, in recent times, the husband and wife were coordinated in dividing the work in the kitchen.

After dinner, Su Chen did not rush up to the study room as he usually did. Instead, he sat down in front of the television in the living room and switched it on. He took out some tea leaves and was about to make tea to casually pass the time while Ji Zitong cleaned up the kitchen.

As Su Chen fiddled with the tea leaves, he shouted toward the kitchen door, Im making tea. What do you want to drink? Dahongpao? Or Pu Er?

Inside the kitchen, Ji Zitong, who was washing the dishes, paused and quickly answered, Im not drinking any of that. Give me a cup of lemonade instead!

Even though this man was quite annoying sometimes, his culinary skills were pretty impressive. At least, they were much better than hers, especially the simmer-friend sweet and sour fish. Although it was such a huge fish, Su Chen only had a few bites while the rest had gone into her belly. She even had two bowls of rice!

Right now, Ji Zitong thought it was terrifying as she thought about it. Since when has my appetite increased? I wonder if this is considered eating and drinking unreasonably.

She did not need to worry that she would get fat since she was just the type who would never get fat no matter what she ate. Her weight would always be the same. Furthermore, she was almost 1.7 meters tall, so even if she added on a few kilograms, she would not look fat easily.

However, she was quite full from the meal right now. She washed her bowl and walked over towards the sofa, caressing her belly and feeling stuffed. At that moment, she did not care about the man who was watching her calmly now.

Su Chen could not help but clear her throat as he lowered his head and chuckled.

Ji Zitong bluntly gave him a cold look.

The way you eat, if I brought you to a buffet, you definitely wont lose out. Su Chen laughed and then handed her a pill to aid her digestion. Have this. Sit for a bit and then take a shower, then you wont feel so bad afterward.

Ji Zitong took the pill and the lemonade that he made for her. She opened the bottle and quickly swallowed the pill.

I havent eaten anything the whole day. I only had time to have a slice of toast since there were quite a lot of things to do at the shop these past few days. I almost couldnt catch my breath.

Thats your body. You should look after it. How can you not eat? If you cant handle it, then hire one or two more people. Youre just passing time anyway. Do you have to do everything yourself? Cant you just be an arm-flinging shopkeeper?

Su Chen watched as she laid there and shifted a little, seeming quite uncomfortable. He then took a pillow and helped her by putting it behind her back to lie on it.

Even if Im just passing time, I cant be making a loss. The shop isnt huge to begin with. If something didnt happen to my mother and Xiao Bei didnt take leave, I usually could handle it. Right now, both of them arent around, so I was a little overwhelmed.

Ji Zitong did not know why she would even care to discuss matters of her little business with the man.

Su Chens still gaze swept across her bright and moving little face. Suddenly, his eyes lowered and instantly fell onto her empty fingers. The words Mu Yuchen had said to her before quickly flashed in her mind.

He muttered to himself for a moment before suddenly telling her, Dont go to the shop first tomorrow. Go somewhere with me.

Where? Ji Zitong turned to her side and silently looked at him.

Su Chens eyes flickered for a while before he smiled mysteriously. Youll find out tomorrow! Then, he silently looked down and continued drinking his tea.

Nevertheless, Ji Zitong only examined him unhurriedly. When she saw that he was not planning on explaining, she did not ask him further and lowered her head to drink. Right, if youre free next week, find a time to visit my home with me. My fathers been talking about it recently, and were still newlyweds.

Su Chen was taken by surprise. After a while, he looked apologetically at her. Im sorry. I overlooked that. Well go back to visit tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, Ah Chens invited us to his place for a barbeque.

Su Chen thought about it for a while, then decided to drop the topic. When he finished handling the matters on his desk and finished his cup of tea. The sky had already turned dark outside, and Secretary He had gone home too.

He read through the final document before realizing that it was quite late. He lifted his hand to check the time on his wrist. It was almost 6p.m., already past office hours. Su Chen then swiftly tidied the things on his table up.

The car slowly drove out of the entrance of the Traffic Bureau. When he made a turn and saw a couple holding hands and passing by, Su Chen thought about it for a while before going to look for Ji Zitong at the flower shop. She had not gone home for quite a few days, but she should be going back today, should she not?

Inside Smile flower shop.

Ji Zitong had been busy the entire day because one of the employees had taken leave for the past few days. She could hardly catch her breath with all the work. In the evening, the farmer from the flower farm had decided to come over to verify the accounts, so she was busy up till now. Finally, she was done with everything.

Chen Ling had accidentally sprained her waist a few days ago as she was walking down the stairs. Right now, she was resting at home. Her condition was quite bad a few days ago, but now it was much better. Of course, consequently, she could not come help her out at the shop.

She worked till quite late, and after a few days, she felt quite worn out. Ji Zitong planned on going home earlier that day, of course, back to Su Chens. She had not been back for almost a week now. Last night, when they were on the phone call, she wanted to say something, yet in the end, he had work to rush to, so they just hung up.

As she thought about this, she made a move and began to swiftly close her shop.

Just as she was about to move that flower basket of champagne roses, a large hand was already a step ahead of her as he picked up the basket with one hand.

Startled, Ji Zitong quickly looked up to see Su Chens steadfast and dashing face greet her sight. He had changed out of his dark work clothes, and the casual metallic gray suit he wore showed off his tall figure. He looked like an elegant gentleman, stunning Ji Zitong for quite a while.

What are you looking at? Arent you packing up? Master Su asked unromantically, then brought the flower basket into the shop.

Ji Zitong was dazed for a moment. She then picked up the other flower basket and walked in as well.

The husband and wife moved quickly. After a while, they were done packing up.

Is Mother alright? Su Chen asked as he picked up the windbreaker she left on the rack.

Ji Zitong took it from him. Shes fine. Its just a sprain of her wrist. She was calling me about her pain a few days ago. We went to check it out at the hospital but it wasnt a huge deal. After that, I got some Chinese ointment from my father and applied it a few times, then she was fine.

As she said this, Ji Zitong put on her windbreaker because it was still a little chilly outside.

How do you have time to come over? Hows the thing with Chairman Mu? Ji Zitong had been paying attention to Xi Xiayes matters recently as well.

Hes just been released. I went back to the Bureau to get some things, so I decided to come over too. Are you going home today?

Su Chen reached out with his long arms and helped her fix her collar that had turned inwards. His expression was calm, yet his tone was one of asking.

Ji Zitong paused before she nodded and replied calmly, Mmm, Mothers fine. Ill call them to inform them, so they wont wait for my return.

Then, she quickly took her phone out and gave Chen Ling a call. After she hung up, Su Chen closed the shop.

He had just started the car when he suggested, Its the weekend tomorrow. Since well be on break, lets get some good ingredients tonight and rewards ourselves. Ive been having fast food every day these past few days, and I can barely stand it.

Upon hearing that, Ji Zitong who was in the front passenger seat raised her brows. She said without objection, Havent you gotten used to that before this? I remember that when I first moved over, you told me that you havent used that kitchen for at least half a month.

Su Chen looked up and glanced at Ji Zitong. That was a special phase when I was busy with work, so I naturally wouldnt have time to manage all this. In fact, its hard to cook for just one person and I dont like eating leftovers.

Youre quite a pampered one. When we were in the army, I didnt see you have this habit. Once you joined the government, youve gotten quite a bit of temperament. In fact, youve become rather delicate, Ji Zitong responded casually.

When Chief Su heard her comment, he felt quite unhappy. He frowned and squinted at Ji Zitong before turning his gaze ahead again as he said softly, Ji Zitong, do you realize that you have a very bad habit? It urgently needs to be tackled and rectified.

What? Doubt passed Ji Zitongs eyes as she looked at him calmly.

Su Chens brows furrowed even more as he said in a serious tone, Dont you realize that you often attack people with your words? Especially me. Every time I talk to you, you attack me at least once. This is a really bad habit. Im fine listening to you because Im tolerant, but if its someone else, then that might not be the case.

Listening to you, I can hear two critical points. Firstly, you, Su Chen, have a high tolerance. Secondly, I frequently attack you with my speech. So, which one is your main point? The first or the second? Ji Zitong straightened her fingers as she spoke to him.

When Su Chen heard, he immediately chuckled. What do you think?

I think that you were emphasizing more on the first, Ji Zitong said frankly.

Actually, Ji Zitong probably did not know that all three of the buddies, Su Chen, Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo, were all narcissists. That was why they were good friends.

Su Chen laughed out loud, not refuting it. Im telling the truth. I admit that Im also praising myself, but your words are really making me uncomfortable. The days in the army are long gone. Ive taken those experiences as one of my growth. Keeping some memories of it will do. Theres no need to maintain that lifestyle. Many people felt suppressed and almost broke down when they were in there. Once they got through it, only did they feel nostalgia for it.

Ji Zitong silently listened and did not say anything.

Ah, humans. Its not a bad thing to live life a little simpler and more comfortably. Life is all about living the way we find best. What do you think?

This is just hope. If we really want that to happen, it might not be as easy as we wish. Look, its like you, isnt it? Arent you still rushing about?

When he heard her remark, the curve on Su Chens lips became wider. Whats wrong? Still holding a grudge over the fact that I hung up on you last night?
