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

XI Xiaye could feel the sorrow emanating from him.

These days, she had been hearing a lot about Qi Lei. Shen Yue previously told her that Qi Qiming did not like Qi Lei while Qi Qiming and Wang Qin’s relationship…

When she thought about this, she suddenly felt rueful. Actually, she understood how he felt too since she had lived the past 20 over years all alone while being burdened by pressure from many aspects, not forgetting Xi Xinyi setting her up on the sly, Han Yifeng’s indifference…

He must have gone through rough days all these years. Unexpectedly, they shared such similar experiences!

Xi Xiaye looked down at the pedestrians milling about on the streets when she suddenly spoke softly, “Every time I was disappointed, I’d always think that I’m tired of struggling. Years ago, when I was expelled by the military academy, I thought of jumping down from the university rooftop, to let death end all my troubles and prove my innocence. When Han Yifeng abandoned the marriage contract and escaped far away with Xi Xinyi, my heart ached so badly. I wished I could just die from intoxication and be done with it! When I was forced to sign the papers for the transfer of shares and made a bargaining chip, I was disheartened.”

As Qi Lei listened, he paused momentarily. Suddenly, he turned to look at her, yet he saw that her expression remained calm.

“I thought that I was really unlucky. Despite my efforts of accommodating, and even making myself miserable, couldn’t Lady Luck just be on my side for once? After that, I realized that there are many things in this world that won’t go our way even if we try so hard to make it work.”

“I heard that you used to love that Han Yifeng a lot, didn’t you?” Qi Lei looked at her and asked softly.

Xi Xiaye was startled as mixed emotions filled her twinkling eyes, yet they quickly recovered to their initial clarity. Without denying it, she answered calmly, “Han Yifeng was my fiancè who had been decided upon since we were young. As soon as I could understand, I already knew that I was going to be his bride, so I’ve always chased after him. Back then, he was very nice, excellent, and extremely protective of me. I’m grateful for him, and I do admit that I did like him once. I even thought that I’d spend the rest of my life with him.”

“But I never would’ve thought that… sometimes I can’t help but feel rueful about the fickleness of life. Well, that can only mean that our destiny was not quite meant to be. Who could’ve predicted the future? Fate allowed me to meet Mu Yuchen and move me to his side where I became his wife, and everything else went off-track. Then, I realize that those things I thought were very hard to forget weren’t that hard actually. The reason we can’t forget is that we’ve all tried to be tolerant and forgive others, yet we forget to forgive ourselves.”

These words entranced Qi Lei for a moment, yet Xi Xiaye did not continue. She just averted her gaze and turned to silently look at him. “Mu Yuchen told me to pass on a message. He says thank you. Apart from that, he really admires you.”

She said all this before turning to leave. Mu Yuchen was waiting for her in the car downstairs by the roadside.

Qi Lei was dazed. It was only when he saw Xi Xiaye get into the car below that he slowly snapped back to his senses. Mu Yuchen sat in the car and wound the window down. He looked upwards and casually nodded like a gentleman.

After that, he nodded in response too. Then, the car window wound back up, and the car slowly moved forward, joining the sea of vehicles…

Some time had passed when suddenly his assistant, Yang Sheng’s voice came from behind. “Master Qi, they’re long gone!”

Qi Lei then broke out of his trance and turned to look at Yang Sheng.

“Great. Now, VP Wang has been worried the entire day. She’s been concerned ever since the meeting in the afternoon. She was even thinking about holding a press conference tomorrow, but who would have expected this move by Mr. Mu?”

Yang Sheng could not help but grin widely. He had been worried for quite a few days, but now the matter was finally settled.

“Mu Yuchen is… an unpredictable character… He indirectly trapped me. I don’t know what to do now.” Qi Lei sighed.

Actually, it was very obvious that the reason Mu Yuchen did this was to directly tell the person in the dark that he and Qi Lei were now on each other’s side. They were allies!

If Qi Lei said he was not willing, then that would disrespect Mu Yuchen. However, if that was so, then Qi Lei would have to live with the infamy of being the third party in someone else’s marriage. The shareholders of the company would not let this go. Mu Yuchen was quite alright. He even bore the image as a Good National Husband, treating the man to dinner and giving him a gift. If Qi Lei would not accept these, tons of curses would come his way!

What a sly fox!

However, he could not complain because it was he who initiated the call to Mu Yuchen!

However, Qi Lei could also imagine that the person who had planned this incident probably would not have thought that this would be the outcome. They had tried by every possible means to drive a wedge between him and Mu Yuchen, yet this was the outcome!

If Qi Qiming was really behind this, what would his reaction be right now?

Yang Sheng knew the pros and cons as well, so he asked carefully, “Master Qi, what… What do we now then?”

“Let’s hold back first. We’ll see how they react!” A sneer flashed across Qi Lei’s lips.

Yang Sheng thought about it and decided to remind him, “Master Qi, VP Wang has always been against you and the Mu family.”

“Why don’t you ask her if she has any other ways of resolving the matter?”

The moment Yang Sheng finished, Qi Lei gave him a cold glare. Yang Sheng immediately lowered his head in fear, not daring to say anything anymore.

“You don’t have to report this to her. I’ll decide my own matters. I’m already very unhappy with the fact that you hid news about Shasha from me. If you don’t behave, there’s no need for you to be by my side anymore,” Qi Lei reprimanded coldly.

Yang Sheng was so frightened that his back broke out in a cold sweat as he quickly bowed. “Yes, Master Qi! I got it! Don’t worry, Master Qi! VP Wang is just concerned about you, so…”

“Please help me thank her for her concern! Tell her to watch out for herself instead,” Qi Lei said with disdain. Then, he turned to walk towards the stairs.

“Master Qi!”

Yang Sheng quickly followed him.

“Back to the Qi family!”

Qi Lei was quite looking forward to going home and seeing what Qi Qiming’s reaction would be. If he was really behind this, what would be more frightening than this person?

Yang Sheng nodded, feeling anxious.

He was clearly trying to find ways to ease the mother and son relationship between Qi Lei and Wang Qin, yet the former did not seem to have plans to forgive the latter. From Wang Qin’s point of view, Yang Sheng understood that Wang Qin was just acting in Qi Lei’s interest, but Qi Lei…

Especially because of Gu Lingsha…
