1236 Mr. Mu“s Teachings 3
His lowered voice sounded sensitive. Right now, he was like an elder again, imparting wisdom unto Xi Xiaye earnestly.
When Xi Xiaye heard that, she fell silent for a while and pondered for a moment. Then, she nodded like an obedient child. “Actually, in my sub-conscience, I’m still hoping that…it would be best if she becomes better for the sake of the child. Perhaps, Han Yifeng should give her a chance to care about the child. That’s like robbing a woman of their right to be a mother. It does sound quite cruel.”
Previously, she had heard Su Nan mention that the child was a cute one.
“Whether or not Han Yifeng agrees, I’m just carrying out Xi Xinyi’s conditions.”
Mu Yuchen did not care about these things or have the time for them either. He only agreed to help Xi Xinyi fight for a chance because he wanted to use this chess piece. Of course, it was related to Xi Xiaye slightly too. The lucky thing was that she could understand it and did not disagree with any of his decisions.
“Are you confident about getting Han Yifeng to accept Xi Xinyi again?” Xi Xiaye could not help but question.
“Well, you can’t ask the question like that. I only promised to give Xi Xinyi a chance back then. I don’t care if it’s successful or not,” Mu Yuchen answered casually, then he smiled faintly at her. “You should learn that when it comes to some things, it might not be a good thing to help to the end. Help them fight half the battle, then leave the rest to them. When they’re grateful that you’ve given them a chance, they’ll also appreciate it more.”
“Is there really so much technique in helping someone?”
“Obviously, with your EQ, it’s better if you learn properly. Otherwise, you’ll lose out despite doing something good.”
“Yes, I’ll comply with your teachings, Mr. Mu!”
She shrugged helplessly. “Then, how are you planning to help her?”
“That will have to depend on Qi Lei. Qi Kai and the Han Corporation do have a working relationship. In fact, from what I know, Qi Lei’s in charge of things over here. Qi Kai frequently sends people to be stationed long term at the Han Corporation, so if Xi Xinyi becomes one of the people-in-charge, she will have a reason to be in contact with Han Yifeng again,” Mu Yuchen said calmly as if this was nothing to him.
“Will that work?” Xi Xiaye was doubtful.
“Why not? Why do you think I’ve been getting Qi Lei to amplify Xi Xinyi’s capabilities recently? To handle someone like Xi Xinyi, you’ve got to be smart. You can’t go too soft but not too hard either, or she won’t be able to handle it. After such a drop in status, she’s really experienced a lot of human change, so now it will be easy for her to move.”
“While it sounds like some profound psychology, it does sound quite logical.”
“Put yourself in their shoes, and you wouldn’t find it too profound. Aren’t you the same?” He looked at her meaningfully as a faint smile appeared in the corner of his lips. He stretched out his arms and held her frail shoulders.
When she heard that, she felt her heart grow warm. Then, she felt like crying. She looked up with twinkling eyes. Her eyes were faintly tearful as she said with a raspy voice, clearly moved, “Thank you, Mr. Mu. You always think of everything for me…You’re the most caring and considerate person to me…”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen just laughed and hugged her tightly as he said softly, “That can’t compare to the happiness you brought me by crossing miles to see me…”
“But the more you’re good to me, the more I feel like I can’t be a good wife to you,” she said carefully while her twinkling eyes flickered. Mr. Mu could see that it was filled with earnest and tenderness.
“I told you, just stay by my side. That’s how you be the best wife. Enough, you’re being silly. Sit tight now. The plane’s about to land.”
He could not quite bear her sudden sentiments and tenderness towards him, so his handsome face blushed slightly.
He could not deny that he really enjoyed the way this little woman gazed at him with emotional and gentle eyes. It felt as if he had suddenly stepped into soft clouds like he was floating and suddenly could not find a place to land. This all made him feel that even if he willingly gave her his all, it would not be enough.
…
When Xi Xiaye saw that he was shy for once, she could not help but laugh out gently. She happily turned to her side and her arms suddenly held his head. Her soft, pink lips aimed right for his thin, cold lips. Then, she planted a kiss, recklessly tasting him before quickly pushing him away and looked at him unsatisfied.
She then realized that his tensed up face was blushing, but he was pretending to look all serious. At that point, she instantly laughed out louder. “Mr. Mu, I suddenly realize that it’s addictive to take advantage of you. I just like seeing the way you look all shy…”
This little girl was beginning to recklessly tease him now!
Frowning slightly, Mu Yuchen squinted at the bodyguards on the side and realized that they had already quickly turned away. He then looked at Xi Xiaye with a reddened face to say softly, “Why weren’t you this bold last night?”
“You’re so annoying…” Xi Xiaye then cleared her throat and turned away.
“You’re so lovable…” he squinted at her and said.
“You…”
…
The plane landed steadily at the Los Angeles airport while the couple was messing with each other.
When they disembarked from the plane, it was already past 8 p.m. at their destination and the sky had darkened.
The season here was not as cold as in New York and the entire city was extremely lively too.
According to the itinerary that Mu Yuchen had planned, they would stay in Los Angeles for a few days first. They had some things to handle here while he would bring Xi Xiaye around. Su Nan and Ruan Heng were not in Boston as well. According to Professor Harry’s therapy program, Ruan Heng would sometimes need to go over to a hospital in Los Angeles to receive assisted treatment from the most advanced instruments, especially when he seemed to be doing better. Therefore, Professor Harry immediately transferred Ruan Heng there for treatment.
These few days, Su Nan and Ruan Heng were coincidentally in Los Angeles, so the two of them went over. Of course, apart from that, it was also because Ah Bo had found out some good news here, so Mu Yuchen went along too.
The husband and wife did not tell Su Nan about how they were going to come over. Once they got down from the plane, they took a cab and went straight to the hospital that Ruan Heng was at.
At this moment, Los Angeles at night was dazzling and charming. The car drove through the night speedily. After about two hours, the car parked in front of a hospital.
