Xi Xiaye felt doubtful when she saw him like this. She just looked at him quietly as a warm light crossed her eyes.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them and returned to his usual calmness.
“It was a woman,” he said quietly as he looked at her genuinely. “Xiaye, I’m not looking into who’s at fault here, I won’t deny what I’ve done in the past as well. If telling you these can help you understand the truth better, I’m more than willing to tell you…”
She was stunned for a moment as she blinked several times. After giving it some thought, she seemed to understand something. “A woman? You liked that woman before? Or was she someone who loved you?”
He suddenly laughed as he studied her with his quiet eyes when he patted her head. He shook his head and said, “Nope, we’ve just met a few times. How could that happen?”
She narrowed her eyes at him and said, “Who knows? It might be love at first sight!”
“She likes Qi Feng, and if I’m not mistaken, Qi Lei was making advances at me most probably because of her. Qi Lei’s feelings for her were no lesser than Qi Feng. Back then, Qi Feng and Lingtian were good friends…”
As he was reminded about the tough past, his eyes darkened and he suddenly stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, Xi Xiaye said, “It’s fine. I won’t ask about this anymore. Whether you’re right or wrong about this, I’ll fully support you…”
“Why?” He asked as he looked at her smiling face.
Xi Xiaye smiled as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him down. She left a soft kiss on his lips before whispering beside into ears, “Because what I want is very simple. As long as you’re good to me, I’d do anything for you.”
Her words were clear and her straightforwardness melted his heart. He hugged her tightly, his vision becoming clear as he looked at her. His voice turned gentle. “Thank you, Missus.”
Those words were enough for him. There was a moment that he hoped he could have met her much earlier. Then, he would not have had to feel so lonely all this while.
“Didn’t we talk about not saying those two words again?”
She smiled and poked his forehead playfully. “Don’t be unhappy, Mr. Mu. You’re always the undefeatable god in my heart. You’re my faith…”
Her words turned his heart even softer. He felt comforted and touched.
It might be hard to believe, but he was not a person to feel easily touched, yet he had experienced this several times with her. Somehow, he discovered a lot of new emotions that were brought forth by her.
“Undefeatable god? Your faith, huh?” He repeated her words, yet his eyes never moved away from her pretty little face.
She nodded and looked at him seriously. “I hope that our life can be simpler and braver unlike my parents’. I told Lingshi not to let things wait too long and fight for the present, so I believe that being with you isn’t wrong.”
With just these words, it was more than enough for him to offer everything he had to treat her well. He should tell her that he would love her forever.
“Yes, it’s not wrong. I won’t let you feel that it’s wrong,” he mumbled quietly as he embraced her, and they stayed like that for quite some time.
He could not verbalize it, but at this moment, he felt sweetness rise inside. How he wished he could merge together with her!
After a while, she mumbled under him, “Mr. Mu, I’m finding it a little difficult to breathe.”
He swiftly came back to his senses and let go of her. He asked gently, “Did I hurt you?” He felt guilty when he saw her rubbing her arms.
She did not reply his question and said instead, “I said that you’re my god…”
Mu Yuchen nodded. “I know, Missus.”
“And then?” Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows as she looked at him intently.
Mu Yuchen was startled as he looked at her in doubt. “Then, what?”
“Shouldn’t you say that I’m your goddess?” She stood straight up and looked at him with a pout, putting up a tough front.
“Huh? Is that how it works… Ah!”
“Are you saying it or not?”
“Yes! You’re my goddess! Goddess…”
“Hmph!”
“Missus, your strength has reached another level. Let’s not play this ever again.”
“Mu Yuchen?”
“Hmm?”
“Can I ask you one last question?”
“Sure.”
“Is that woman prettier than me?” She was still feeling insecure.
“She has a very long way to go compared to you!” He replied almost instantly.
Xi Xiaye was finally at ease with his answer. After giving it some thought, “Mr. Mu, I have one last question. Is that woman your childhood friend?”
“I don’t have any young childhood friend. I have a super close friend though.”
He looked at her with a wicked smile on his face. “Who?”
Her face was strained as her eyes darkened. “You!”
…
It was 7 a.m. when the man woke up the next day. He woke up half an hour earlier than Xi Xiaye to go down to make breakfast after washing up while she continued sleeping.
She would let him handle all the kitchen work whenever he was at home since her cooking skills were mediocre anyway.
She changed into a plain-colored dress today, tying her long hair up. Unlike her usual days when she wore her business suit, she looked much more elegant.
He was satisfied with his own taste, glad to see that she looked great in the outfit he had bought for her.
When she came downstairs for breakfast, Mu Yuchen’s quiet eyes glittered upon seeing her.
