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

She looked a little nostalgically at the mango trees, feeling rueful.

Unexpectedly, all these years had passed by in such a hurry. It had been so quick that one had not even had the time to reminisce. It felt like the graduation ceremony had been just yesterday. Who could have imagined that the next ten years and more would have flown by just like that?

He looked up slightly and followed her gaze to inspect the trees on both sides. His face suddenly flashed with a faint smile as he said very calmly, “These trees were planted during my year, but now they’ve grown pretty tall. Still, everything here still feels quite familiar. It’s not that different from how it was. The campus’ reforestation just looks a little nicer now.”

Xi Xiaye nodded, gladly agreeing. “It’s the west side that seems to have had quite a few new blocks of school buildings…”

“Let’s go take a look at the field.”

Then, with his arm around her, they continued to walk ahead through the multi-purpose building and towards the little gate to the field. After passing a small area of withered peach blossom forest, the field lay ahead.

Under the lights on the side of the field, Xi Xiaye could see two very young and innocent students playing basketball on the field. Their lively figures and rare skills attracted her.

Mu Yuchen went to the sink at the side to wash his hands. When he returned, he noticed that she was already nowhere to be seen. He looked around and then noticed that she had somehow made her way to the field. At the moment, she was casually dribbling the ball and happily shooting hoops…

It was a rare sight to see her this relaxed. Her thin and slender figure traveled through the faint mist, completing one sweet move after another. With her flexible and practiced skill highlighted by her valiant posture, this was the first time he noticed that women looked pretty cool playing basketball.

When she realized he was looking, she stopped what she was doing. Holding onto the ball, she looked at him, her twinkling eyes still flickering with light. She thought about it, then tossed the ball in her hand to him. “Come over and shoot a few hoops.”

Mu Yuchen reached out to catch the ball. He strolled over unhurriedly, and subconsciously looked down at her shoulder. She immediately said, “It’s fine already. It was just a small injury. Come on, I’ll block and you shoot.”

Then, before he could say anything, she was already prepared in her stance.

When Mu Yuchen saw her little face brimming with radiance, he raised his handsome brows. “Are you that confident that you’ll be able to block me?”

Xi Xiaye smiled. “We’ll try and see. If you win then, tonight I’ll treat you to dinner. Otherwise, you’ll be treating me to dinner. Oh, tonight I want French…”

“Well then, for you to treat me, Missus, I’d have to win no matter what!”

Then, his long hands moved and the basketball in her hand fell to the ground. His tall figure jumped, his speed so quick that one failed to react, and then after dodging like a phantom, an accurate slam dunk was beautifully completed.

Xi Xiaye was stunned as she watched the empty space before. Dazed for a while, she suddenly turned around and only managed to see the scene where the ball fell into the basket while he already stood on the side and grinned at her.

She frowned. “This one doesn’t count! This doesn’t count! I wasn’t even ready! Come again!”

Mu Yuchen caught the ball and did as she wished, yet after a few times, she still was not able to block him. In the end, she said angrily, “The ones before don’t count. Let’s change to me shooting and you blocking. I used to be the frontline shooter.”

Mu Yuchen went with her wishes. He leaned forward slightly as both his eyes stared ahead vigilantly at Xi Xiaye who was skilled and ready to make her shot.

Xi Xiaye did not expect his defense to be so tight either. She paced back and forth, finding it hard to even find a path through, especially with the height difference. There seemed to be slight difficulties if she wanted to launch a surprise attack.

At this moment, little droplets started following slowly from the hazy horizon. The field that had not dried thoroughly yet gradually began to be soaking wet.

Amidst the mild rain, the husband and wife were in a game of pursuit. The misty rain engulfed their figures in a layer of tranquility and peace.

“Mr. Mu, aren’t you planning to yield?” Xi Xiaye dribbled the ball skillfully as she looked at him, squinting.

Mu Yuchen chuckled. The vigilance in his eyes did not diminish at all. “Well, it’s rare that you’re in the mood to treat me, so I’ve decided to go all out for this candlelight dinner that’s worth the anticipation.”

Xi Xiaye smiled, her beautiful and elegant face akin to a blossoming orchid. Her eyes were brimming with a gentle light. Seeing her smile, he could not help but feel his cold heart waver as feelings of tenderness grew in his heart.

How was he to say that he actually did not want to probe the increasing effect she had on him?

He heard that happiness was not about how much whoever invested, but about tolerance and understanding, and bickering less…

She suddenly lowered her body, and in the midst of his puzzlement, she gently planted a kiss on his lips. He was suddenly distracted for a moment. However, Xi Xiaye had also seized this very moment. Her slender figure made a swift spin and passed him almost phantom-like, leaving only a faint, elegant fragrance…

When he realized he had been tricked, Mu Yuchen quickly reacted and abruptly turned around to look. However, she had long passed him and with a swift and cool movement, she tossed the basketball into the basket.

The ball had very accurately fallen into the basket and bounced on the ground. He looked up slightly towards her in the rain to see her looking smug with herself. His eyes revealed a hint of that had not faded as if what she had just broken through earlier was not just his defense against her, but maybe a little bit of something else too…

He snapped back after quite a while. His expression quickly returned to normal as he looked up at the drizzle that was becoming increasingly heavy, reaching out a hand to her. “Come here!”

She raised her brows and looked up at the sky too. Then, she abided and went over.

“The rain’s getting heavy. Let’s go home, but tonight it’s your treat… Mmm!”

Before she could finish, he had already lowered his head and shut her up with a kiss, pushing back all the words she wanted to say.

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She only felt his breath fill the air, and before she had time to really indulge in it, he had already backed away. Flirting and then stopping…

“I approve of you using more of such tricks against me the next time.” He lowered his head and stared at her confused face, smiling. Before she could respond, he pulled away and walked to the side.

After a long while, Xi Xiaye realized what he meant and she instantly grinned. “Well then, Mr. Mu, you’re saying that with my good looks, I can sugar-coat the bullets that attack you. Is that so?”

“Do you understand the meaning of ‘good looks’?” He turned to her and looked at her disapprovingly.

Xi Xiaye…
