The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1288 – If Only You Were Here Chapter 5

1288 If Only You Were Here 5

In order to find out the answer she wanted, Xi Xiaye put on a warm smile as she sounded like she was having a great time.

“Mmm, I’ll wait for you. At least, you won’t be as tired when you come back. Your parents are going to help too. We’re all family, and you should know that better than me. Moreover, it’s during times like these that the family is going to get stronger together. I definitely prefer having a group to back me up rather than having to fight alone. Mr. Mu, your way of thinking is falling behind.”

Mu Yuchen’s grin grew wider. This little girl was starting to be more and more thorough about many things. He was not sure if he should be happy or to start reflecting on himself.

He had no choice but to admit that her words made sense.

As he was about to say something, she suddenly started lecturing him again, “I remember sometime after we got married, you told me after a banquet that in high-class societies, people help one another because they understand working together brings in wealth. The middle-class compare themselves to each other and be jealous of one another…These don’t just apply to businesses. It’s the same for life in general. I respect you because you understand, and I hope we can be a better person emotionally…”

Mu Yuchen could not really remember what she said afterward.

He felt that the little woman he had been trying his best to protect had grown up. Her mental capacity was beginning to get closer to his.

He felt joyous and comforted that his wife was going to become his best friend, his soul mate…

To him, there was nothing more joyous than this.

“It’s your turn to lecture me now, huh?” He sighed.

“What’s wrong with that? You gave me plenty of lectures and always made me reflect on my behavior, so it’s only normal for me to give you a nudge when you’re doing something wrong. Now, do you understand how I feel?” she huffed with a grumpy expression.

“Do I lecture you? I don’t remember it at all. I’m done for if you’re not happy with me, am I not?” Mu Yuchen smiled.

“You sound like an old man when you get serious. You remind me of the discipline teacher in high school. How despicable! Don’t you dare put on a frown when you’re trying to lecture me in the future.”

“Do you expect people to smile and laugh when they are lecturing you?”

“Can’t you be more human?” She did not seem satisfied. “You’re so gentle towards your parents. You marry a wife to love and care for her anyway, or are you hinting that you don’t like me anymore?”

“Don’t I love you enough?” Mu Yuchen had no idea this woman could be so troublesome once she started sulking.

“Of course, when I was there, you didn’t play ‘mature woman with young, fresh meat’ with me! We used to…” Xi Xiaye blurted out. She realized what she just said and quickly shut up, but it was too late to take the words back now. Her face turned red instantly and her blushing cheeks were cute in their own way. Unfortunately, Mr. Mu could not see her right now.

Mu Yuchen was drinking tea as he spoke to her on the phone. He suddenly started coughing and nearly spit out the tea.

“Cough, cough!”

Mu Yuchen’s face turned red after some intense coughing, and it took him a while to calm down. “Mature woman and young, fresh meat? Are you the mature woman? I don’t think I can be called young, fresh meat now, can I?”

“You can play with whatever you want when I get back.”

“Well, I don’t mean that. I just…I’ve told Uncle Lan about what happened. He’ll do his best to search and I’ll let you know if we find anything. Also, Ah Mo seems to be in City B as well…”

Mu Yuchen’s expression darkened when Ah Mo’s name was mentioned. “I was just about to tell you that Ah Mo’s missing too. Li Si is looking into it. Don’t tell Lingshi first. Her condition is unstable, so spend some time with her if you can.”

“What did you say? Ah Mo’s missing?” Xi Xiaye was shocked.

“Mmm, I wanted to ask Ah Mo to investigate Qi Lei’s disappearance, but I couldn’t reach him at all. It’s the exact same situation as Qi Lei.” Mu Yuchen’s tone became heavy.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Mu. It’ll be fine. Get people to work on it right away. Call Father and tell him to help as well. I’m sure he can contribute,” Xi Xiaye said.

He glanced at the clock and realized that it was nearly midnight in City Z. “Mmm, I’m still waiting for Li Si’s report. Anyway, it’s late on your side now. Go to sleep. You still have work tomorrow. I’ll be back in two days.”

Xi Xiaye nodded. “Okay, come home soon. We’re waiting for you.”

“Goodnight.”

“Good afternoon, Mr. Mu…”

Mu Yuchen held his phone tightly after he hung up. His expression lightened slightly as he looked at the darkened phone screen.

‘As long as you are here…’

Her words instantly cheered him up.

After a long time, he put his phone down and leaned back on the chair again, his composure much more relaxed compared to before.

Li Si knocked on the door sometime later.

Just as Mu Yuchen expected, Li Si came in with an anxious expression and walked toward him.

“Master, I just checked. Ah Mo booked the same flight, but he didn’t board either. Here’s Ah Mo’s schedule for the past few days. Take a look.”
