1296. Chapter 1296: Scheming, Retreat to Advance (Part 2)

Unlike the wind and rain in City B, the night sky in City Z is exceptionally clear tonight. A clear moon hangs high in the night sky. The bright moonlight shakes all over the floor, covering the entire Shenglan Villa. Shrouded in a vast expanse of intoxicating softness.

When Xi Xiaye returned here from the Mu family's old house, the night was already a bit late, and Mu Xiaocheng had already been coaxed to sleep by Sister Wang.

However, Xi Xiaye couldn't help it, so she went to the baby room to see her son for a while, then returned to the bedroom, took a comfortable bath, and then went to the study feeling refreshed.

At this time, the clock on the wall pointed to twelve o'clock at night, but Xi Xiaye still had no intention of falling asleep.

There was no news between Qi Lei and A Mo, so she was naturally worried. A Mo was good at skills, so she could convince herself to feel more at ease, but Qi Lei was different. He had been a romantic young man before, and he probably didn't have much self-defense skills. , if it falls into the wrong hands, it will definitely suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Xi Xiaye couldn't help but sigh. The conversation with Mu Tangchuan tonight suddenly flashed through her mind. Thinking about it, she suddenly thought of Wang Qin again...

She had promised Wang Qin at the beginning, that poor and sad woman, fate was so cruel to her, but...

Qi Lei, I hope you can escape this disaster.

Xi Xiaye prayed silently in her heart. At this time, she couldn't sit still and got up. She came to the window and looked at the moonlight outside. When she was thinking about whether to go out for a walk, there was a knock on the door behind her. .

Xi Xiaye then turned her head and said to the door, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Sister Wang came in carrying a tray, which contained a cup of slightly steaming milk and a bowl of porridge.

"Sister Wang? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xi Xiaye's calm voice came through calmly.

"Young madam... I see that you don't look very good and you are working so late. The light in the study was not turned off last night. You should pay attention to your health! I just made some bird's nest porridge for you. Please eat some. ,go to bed early!"

Sister Wang said with great concern.

Xi Xiaye smiled happily and said with some gratitude, "Thank you, leave it alone. I'm not hungry. I'll eat later. It's so late, so you should go back and rest early."

"I'm not in the way. The young lady seems to be worried. Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just caught up with some difficult things. You and Sister Fang have worked hard to take care of Xiao Rui and Xiao Cheng. When your young master comes back, I will ask him to increase your salary. If there is nothing to do in the future, try your best. Don't go out. As for Xiao Rui, remember to ask bodyguards to pick him up when he goes to and from school. Also, unless someone from Mu Chen's family comes to pick him up, Xiaocheng must get my permission before he can leave the house. Do you understand? "

Xi Xiaye warned worriedly.

Sister Wang nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, young madam, the young master has already explained it. The treatment the young master has given us is already very high, and we are very satisfied. The young madam does not need to see us outside."

"I can see your dedication and hard work. What we give you is what you deserve. Okay, just put your things down. You can go back and rest. I still have a few documents to read."

Xi Xiaye said before walking towards the desk and sitting down again.

When Sister Wang saw this, she didn't dare to disturb her anymore, so she had to put the things on the table, gave some instructions, and then left.

The night is getting thicker and thicker, the moonlight in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows continues to shift westward, and the floor-to-ceiling curtains on the side are also pulled out into a long silhouette.

Xi Xiaye didn't know how long she could hold on, so she fell asleep as she sat there, not even noticing that the bird's nest porridge beside her had already cooled down.

Midnight has passed for a long time, and the entire villa area was silent in a quiet dreamland. Finally, a black car slowly drove into Shenglan Villa under the cold moonlight. The car soon stopped in front of Fengju. Stop.

Li Si quickly got out of the car and came over to open the door for Mu Yuchen--

"Master, we're home!"

Mu Yuchen, who was sleeping quietly with his eyes closed in the car, slowly opened his eyes and got out of the car neatly.

"You guys should go back too and come back tomorrow afternoon."

After saying this, Mu Yuchen reached into his pocket, took out his key card, and walked to Fengjuli.

From afar, he saw that the lights were still on in the study room on the second floor. His steps subconsciously paused, bathing in the soft and quiet light. For a moment, he felt the fatigue on his body dissipate. A lot. The next moment, he couldn't wait to go home.

Without turning on the light in the living room, he ran directly to the second floor with the help of the dim hallway light.

As he expected, when he just opened the study door and subconsciously looked in the direction of the desk, he saw the woman sleeping on the desk...

Xi Xiaye has always been a light sleeper these days, and she can be awakened by the slightest movement. Therefore, when the man walked in, she was already keenly aware of his familiar and pleasant fresh breath, and she was in a trance. , I thought I was in a dream, until I heard the footsteps faintly in my ears.

She raised her head consciously, opened her hazy eyes and looked to the side, and sure enough she saw the man's handsome face. She was startled for a moment, and quickly raised her hand to rub her eyes, feeling a little confused -

Why did she seem to have seen Mr. Mu?

Seeing her confused look, the man simply stood there and let her look at him, his indifferent lips slightly raised, "I want to see how long your reaction arc is?"

A familiar voice came, and Xi Xiaye suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly reached out to pull him, "Why are you back? Why didn't you call before you came back?"

"Whether you call or not, you're still home? Are you going to stay in this study tonight?"

There was a hint of blame in his low and hoarse voice, not to mention the dissatisfaction in his heart when he saw her obvious dark circles.

Miss Xia Ye brushed her messy hair with her five fingers and stretched lazily, "I've been too busy recently, and I've been thinking about a lot of things. I tend to be fanciful when I lie on the bed. I see that you don't look very good, and you look dusty."

Mu Yuchen glanced at her, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and without thinking, he immediately reached out and pulled her up, "Just think of it as someone I'm thinking about coming back quickly."

As he said that, he didn't give her a chance to speak, and a slightly cool kiss fell.

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly, and quickly reached out to hug him, happily responding to his tenderness and enthusiasm.
