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

When he remarked about her appetite, Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment and her expression instantly darkened. She shot him a look and then stood up slightly ashamedly to tidy up the bowls and plates before her.

“I’ll put the bowls and chopsticks away…”

However, she seemed to have forgotten about how injured her shoulder was. She had just lifted her left arm and picked the plates up when a sharp pain immediately seared, making her hand subconsciously let go.

Clank!

The crisp sound of the ceramic shattering rang out. A beautiful plate had just announced its death.

Xi Xiaye immediately frowned to see the ceramic pieces that had shattered all over her feet. She squatted down and awkwardly started to clean it up, yet just as a finger touched the sharp ceramic shard, she felt a sting and before she could react, a drop of blood had dripped down her finger.

“How foolish!”

A soft scolding was heard followed by a whiff of fragrant air and in the next instant, a huge hand had already wrapped her cut finger with a towel. Then, he lifted her up by the waist and walked towards the sofa.

“Tighten your grip on it. I’ll go get the first aid kit.”

Mu Yuchen put her down on the sofa and then quickly dug out a first aid kit from the drawer of the coffee table. Swiftly, he took a bottle of medicine out to stop the bleeding and a waterproof plaster. Then, he very promptly treated Xi Xiaye’s wound.

Xi Xiaye drew in a breath. Quietly lowering her head, she saw him efficiently cleaning her wound and her brows almost furrowed into a knot.

Mu Yuchen suddenly looked up at her and seeing the way she endured the pain, he said, “This disinfectant is pretty effective. It’ll be a little painful. Endure it. You don’t look like the kind of pampered foodie.”

“How about you come to try too? I’m quite scared of the pain. Just be gentler and it’ll be fine. There’s no need to put so much,” Xi Xiaye responded a little grumpily, the fiery pain on her finger feeling a little hard to bear.

Mu Yuchen did not reply to her. Instead, he had applied the medicinal power at the quickest speed. Then, after he put the plaster on, he quietly put away the first aid kit.

“Okay, you don’t have to care about this anymore. Go upstairs and wash up first, but be careful not to get your wound in contact with water.”

Xi Xiaye turned to the mess and nodded. She felt like she seemed to be making things worse and she could not help but bury her forehead in her hands. “Okay then, I’ll go upstairs first.”

Then, she lifted the bag up at her side and walked towards the staircase.

Even though Maple Residence was really huge, the entire villa only had one bedroom. The whole of the second floor consisted of a suite, a huge bedroom, and a huge side hall. After the hallway was Mu Yuchen’s super enormous study room, which adopted the floor within a floor concept. It had rows and rows of shelves filled with all sorts of books and could be comparable to a library.

The entire Maple Residence’s style was quite similar to her apartment’s. They were both lavish and stylish without losing its elegance. Xi Xiaye surveyed the place before slowly walking towards the bedroom.

She opened up the closet and wanted to hang her clothes when she realized that there was a huge wardrobe that took up an entire wall. It was filled with women’s clothes all in her size. Her clothes were on the left while Mu Yuchen’s was on the right. In the middle was a row of nightgowns for the both of them.

She put her things away and took out a black nightgown before walking to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Xi Xiaye finally finished her bath and got out. However, the bedroom remained quiet and the main light was not switched on. A faint light came from the dim wall lamp at the bedhead.

She brushed her slightly damp fringe and looked towards the door, noticing that the hallway lights were still very dim. Frowning slightly, a faint light flashed in her eyes, then she walked towards the door.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she still could not see any sign of Mu Yuchen, so she wanted to go downstairs to take a look. However, just as she reached the entrance of the hallway, suddenly—

There was a clatter!

The door before her suddenly opened and Mu Yuchen’s tall figure abruptly greeted her just like that. Unable to stop in time, Xi Xiaye was frightened and almost knocked into him. Thankfully, she reacted quickly and held onto the door frame, yet the result of this was an instant pain shooting up her shoulder.

“Be careful!”

Mu Yuchen quickly reached out to hold her.

“Do you tread so quietly all the time?”

Xi Xiaye lifted a hand to lightly hold her chest in fright.

“Did you hurt your wound?” Mu Yuchen frowned as he helped her to sit down on the sofa.

“It’s fine. I’ve just changed my dressing earlier. You go wash up first. I’ve filled the bath up for you. I forgot to take my laptop earlier…”

She noticed that he had helped her bring up her briefcase and laptop. She gratefully looked at him and was about to reach out to take the laptop from him.

There were a few important groups of data that needed to be analyzed in the next two days for the Commerce Department, yet two days had already passed just like that. Without a doubt, she needed to rush it.

“It’s not early anymore. You were just discharged from the hospital. Get proper rest. If it’s work-related matters, then put it aside for now.”

Xi Xiaye shook her head. “I can’t. It’s pretty important data. I said that I was going to send it to the Commerce Department today, yet I’ve delayed it till now. It won’t be good if it affects their work progress. It’s the project for City S and the developer is rushing.”

Once she said this, Mu Yuchen instantly frowned and fell silent for a moment before saying, “You go rest first. I’ll take a look later.”

Then, before Xi Xiaye could say anything, he took the items and walked towards the bedroom.
