Chapter 237  : It’s Fine As Long As She’s Fine With Him (3)

Xi Mushan was startled when Shen Wenna questioned him. Instantly, he put up an apologetic expression on his handsome face, but he did not defend himself. After all, he was at fault in this matter...

“I understand that it’s a difficult situation for you, but you should know your daughter well. I don’t care how you and Yue Lingsi betrayed me back then. I also don’t care how Xi Xinyi imitated her mother and attacked Xiaye, but I just hope that you can protect this peace Xiaye has found after marrying Chen. This is something you can do, isn’t it?”

Shen Wenna looked at Xi Mushan straight in the eye.e, “Xiaye has always been concerned about us. I have to say that I’m not a responsible mother to her...”

“Wenna, I’m sorry... I’ve always felt guilty towards you all these years. Every time I see Xiaye, I’d... I went to look for you at the school before... I wanted to talk to you. If... If...”

“What for? Can’t you give me some peace alone? You know very well that Yue Lingsi came and looked for me the last time. Moreover, things are over between us. Please don’t be like this,” Shen Wenna sighed.

“Wenna, we’re not young anymore. I wish to live for myself,” Xi Mushan said quietly.

“Please stop saying that. I’m tired. I don’t want to argue with you on this anymore. Since you said so, then please go back to your wife and live happily ever after with her. I’m not interested in interfering at all. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry. Things are great for me now. Didn’t we live peacefully all this time? Why do you have to break the peace now?” Shen Wenna raised her head and looked at Xi Mushan.

“I can’t let you go, Wenna...”

Shen Wenna’s expression changed and she had a mocking smile on her face when she heard Xi Mushan’s words. “So? Who do you think I am? Don’t forget that you have your own family now. Don’t make me look down on you!”

“I’ve never touched her except that night! Wenna, you knew that I thought she was you, so...” Xi Mushan looked guilty and his eyes were cold. “Who knew she would go overseas in secret, and even give birth to Xinyi?”

Shen Wenna laughed coldly at him. Having lost interest, she was about to head back into the house. “There’s no meaning to your words now. No matter how good your reasons are, you can’t erase the fact that you’ve betrayed me, Xi Mushan. I hope that you can be responsible and bear your faults. At least, that can still impress me.”

“Wenna!” Xi Mushan coughed lightly as he grabbed Shen Wenna’s hand, but she swiftly avoided him.

Xi Mushan closed his eyes in agony after he saw Shen Wenna step back into the house. He took a deep breath as the pain seeped deep into his heart. Depression shrouded him.

There were some mistakes that could never be corrected. No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do.

After some time, Shen Wenna went back to school and the Mu Tangchuan couple had something to work on as well. Shen Yue and Mu Yinan were going to play golf. Xi Jiyang invited Mu Yuchen to visit West Park some time, but Xi Xiaye rejected. She really did not want to see people that would make her upset.

Mu Yuchen just let her be.

After they went back into the living room after sending them off, Xi Xiaye sat down tiredly as she accepted the cup of tea he handed her.

“I don’t know what Mother told Father, but from the way he looks, he seemed pretty sad...”

“Father should still have feelings for Mother. His eyes say it all,” he replied indifferently.

She gave it some thought before nodding. She then sighed, “There seems to be an uncrossable realm between them. There’s nothing I can do to help.”

She placed the cup down and then looked at the man beside her. She stared at him for some time before asking, “Will you make the same mistake in the future?”

He looked up from the newspaper and glanced at her. After a brief moment, he replied, “Do you think there’s anyone else that can satisfy me besides you?”

“Can’t you be more serious? I’m not joking around here!” Xi Xiaye grabbed a pillow nearby and threw it at him as her face blushed.

He blocked the pillow she threw with one hand, and then replied to her with a serious expression, “Do I not look serious to you right now?”

Xi Xiaye glared at him before cleaning up the table. All of them were items Wang Hui had brought over from the Mu Residence. She moved the bags a little and she saw their contents.

Velvet antler?

Velvet antler wine?

Those words reminded her of the aphrodisiac qualities of the contents!

However, did he really need it?

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She glanced at him and saw that he had already gone back to reading his papers. She then packed the stuff up swiftly, but her sudden movements actually alerted him.

He raised his head and saw her flushed face. “What’s wrong? Are you sick?” He put down the newspaper and wanted to help.

“Nope, it’s alright. I’ll do it. You sit down!” She moved around and continued to work on packing.

He had better not touch these things. She remembered that Wang Hui made her ate some supplements and she had felt odd after that.

Mu Yuchen looked at her in doubt. He suddenly grabbed the bag she packed and she quickly seized his hand. “These are mine...”

“Let me see what’s inside!”

“No!”

“Just a look!”

“No, don’t move!”

She hugged the bag in front of her, and at that moment, someone’s phone rang. Mu Yuchen gripped her arm with one hand and took out the phone with another to answer the call.

“Xiaye, it’s me...”

A deep voice reached his ear, sounding a little familiar. Mu Yuchen took a small pause as frigidity surfaced on his face.

Xi Xiaye soon noticed that something was not right. She tilted her head over and looked at the phone screen curiously.

“What’s wrong?”
