Qi Lei smiled quite naturally, yet from what Xi Xiaye could observe, she felt like he had a dagger hidden in his smiles and clearly had ill intentions. In fact, he wanted to drive a wedge between her and Mu Yuchen, so he was evidently not a genuine person!
When Qi Lei finished, the man did not respond immediately. Xi Xiaye turned to look at Mu Yuchen, then she realized that he was quite calm. His eyes were filled with depth as always, so you could not tell what he felt at the moment. He just casually sized Qi Lei up.
Moments after, a calm smile flashed across Mu Yuchen’s handsome face as he nodded. “It would be my honor, and thanks for your help.” Then, he subconsciously looked at the things on the table.
“You’re welcome!” Qi Lei shrugged, shooting a look at the glaring Xi Xiaye.
“Since you’re here, have a seat. I’m preparing dinner,” Mu Yuchen spoke very humbly.
Qi Lei nodded and made a gesture that indicated for him to do as he wished. He did not think of himself as an outsider at all, rendering Xi Xiaye speechless!
This fellow was just a pain in the butt! How much guts did he need to hone the invincible shameless skill he had today!?
Then, Mu Yuchen ordered, “Sis Wang, bring Master Qi over for a seat or to take a walk around.”
“Okay, Master!”
Sis Wang quickly went up and brought Qi Lei to sit at the sofa in the living room before skillfully brewing some tea. Mu Yuchen turned around and returned to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Xi Xiaye stood where she was for quite a while, unsure of what to do.
She thought about it, then sighed and turned to follow him into the kitchen.
Once she entered the kitchen, she could see the man’s busy figure. She turned to close the door and quietly walked over, stopping behind him.
He seemed not to have realized that she had come in. He continued to be busy and skillfully worked the seasoning while a stew was bubbling on the stove by the side. The kitchen was filled with the faint aroma from the food.
Xiaye watched him work for quite a while. She then slowly lowered her gaze and could not help but kick the dustbin on the side which clanged, yet the man in front of her continued to work. He did not even turn to look at her.
Seeing him like this, Xiaye instantly felt wronged. She thought about it and wanted to reach up to fix his shirt. He was wearing a loose, black casual shirt.
Mu Yuchen ignored her and did not say anything.
After a while, she was stunned and let go of her hand that held his shirt as she asked softly, “Are you angry?”
He did not say anything. There was not a squeak.
Soon, Xi Xiaye felt upset. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her throat tightened.
Why did she feel like after she got pregnant, she was becoming more and more emotional? She was no longer herself!
She sighed as she angrily turned around and was about to leave the kitchen. When she was about to urn away, the man abruptly spun around, his tall figure blocking her way.
“How did you know I was angry?”
He looked down at her with those eyes that were as deep as the sea. She could not fathom his calm expression.
When Xi Xiaye heard that, she silently looked up at him and said sadly, “You didn’t say anything to me earlier. You didn’t look at me either, what else could it be if you weren’t angry at me?”
Upon hearing this, he could not help but laugh!
Should he be glad that she was observant, or dote on her sad and extremely vulnerable fragile heart, or should she be frustrated that she would rather let Qi Lei send her back than call him to pick her up?
“Your eyes are getting sharper. You could immediately tell I was unhappy, but why doesn’t it seem like you’ve become more self-aware though?”
When he said this, Xi Xiaye immediately knew that it was that fellow in the living room that had ruined things. She immediately expressed frustratedly and sadly, “It was him who was relentless about coming over. I couldn’t tie him to the supermarket. Letting him do some free labor isn’t a bad thing. You wouldn’t have to come running over again.”
Before she could finish, he suddenly asked, “Did you think about getting me to fetch you?”
Xi Xiaye was startled, then she nodded. “There were too many things, and I told Zitong to go back first. Initially, I wanted to take a nice stroll home.”
Then, his expression started to look much better.
Seeing that he had relaxed, she was relieved and could not help but rant, “I didn’t invite him home because he was too annoying and he’s really shameless. When I criticize him, he takes it as a compliment. The last time, he took huge advantage of us. He’s quite quick-witted and is obviously not an honest person, yet he keeps calling himself a good person. He even said I wasn’t pretty or elegant!”
“He’s short-sighted. If not, then he’s just jealous but he won’t say it. His eyesight hasn’t completely developed, so why do you care what he thinks? My woman has obviously got to be pretty and elegant!”
He chuckled, grinning as pleased as punch. Like a witch, he was charming her socks off.
Xi Xiaye looked on and was immediately startled. She could not help but hug him around the shoulders on tiptoe, and then kiss his lips. She was about to pull away when his long arms circled her.
She subconsciously took two steps back. Her back leaned against the cold refrigerator while she was trapped in his embrace. Without any objections, she quickly enjoyed a few minutes of sweetness.
His kisses had always been tender yet dominating. She never could resist him. His unique fragrance closed in, and she immediately turned dizzy as his hands familiarly palmed her belly gently. It was almost three months now, and they seemed to be able to feel some movement. The exploration of their lips continued to recklessly rub against each other fervently. After that, she could only reach out to hug him tightly.
Although his senses were running wild, he finally let go of her, panting slightly. “You’re behaving. Wait till you give birth to the little one. I’ll take back everything you owe me sooner or later!”
She trembled gently as her twinkling eyes stayed misty and her beautiful face blushed. After a while, she sighed and turned away shyly. “You’re becoming more and more indecent!”
Upon hearing this, he just smiled calmly and caressed her belly. “If I were to be decent, how would we have gotten this little one?” His tone was extremely calm, spoken like a true lecher.
She could not help but shoot him a look. “You’re no longer that elegant and pure Mr. Mu. You used to be a sacred Prince Charming to me, but now…”
“What about now?” He looked at her amusedly.
“You’re a vulgar man!”
When she said that, he immediately laughed softly. “Missus, you sound like you’re starting to understand me more.”
