The Most Loving Marriage In History

“Have you been waiting for long?”

Zhuang Shurong took huge strides towards Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye. When her sharp eyes saw the two of them, she seemed to have eased a little from earlier. She took a look at Mu Yuchen, then her gaze stopped on Xi Xiaye who was beside Mu Yuchen.

Xi Xiaye was startled. Mu Yuchen could feel that her hand that he held in his was trembling slightly. He turned to look at her then to Zhuang Shurong and said softly, “We’ve just arrived too. Xiaye, this is Mother.”

Xi Xiaye then bent over slightly to bow. She said softly, “Mother, nice to meet you. I’m Xi Xiaye.”

Zhuang Shurong’s keen eyes sized Xi Xiaye up twice as her expression remained calm. After quite a while, something flashed in her eyes. She then asked, “Xi Xiaye? You’re Shen Wenna’s daughter, aren’t you?”

Xi Xiaye nodded. Previously, Wang Hui had mentioned that her mother seemed to have had met Mu Yuchen’s father before, so she did not find this odd.

“Mmm, you do look quite like her,” Zhuang Shurong commented in a tone that seemed to carry hints of lament. She looked at Xi Xiaye for quite a while again before she continued, “Okay, let’s go home first. You take this.”

Something red flashed before Xi Xiaye’s eyes and a huge red packet appeared before her. She was stunned and almost did not react. It was Mu Yuchen who gently squeezed her cold hand before she snapped back to her senses.

“Thank you, Mother!” Xi Xiaye accepted it.

While Zhuang Shurong just nodded, and then walked ahead.

She inhaled a little before carefully turning to look at Mu Yuchen. She noticed that he seemed to look at her in a way like he was ready to watch her embarrass herself. Shooting him a mean look, she then flung his hand away.

“Right, Ah Chen, your father —”

Precisely at this moment, Zhuang Shurong who was walking ahead suddenly turned around, frightening Xi Xiaye. Her mind caught up with the scenario and she quickly grabbed Mu Yuchen’s huge hand—

Hopefully, Zhuang Shurong did not see anything!

To her chagrin, Zhuang Shurong’s intelligent eyes had quickly swept over Xi Xiaye. At that instant, Xi Xiaye had also lowered her head guiltily.

After that, Zhuang Shurong did not continue. She just looked up and fixed her eyes on Mu Yuchen for quite a while before she finally turned back around and walked ahead.

At that moment, Xi Xiaye felt a slight sense of relief. However, she could not help but feel upset.

“Enough, it’s best if you just expose your true self, so as to avoid frightening them in the future when you suddenly bare your fangs and brandish your claws! I’m guessing that your attack abilities aren’t too weak either! You don’t need to pretend to be such an obedient little wife. Mother’s a smart person. She can see through you with one look.” Mu Yuchen’s teasing voice suddenly appeared by her ear.

“Isn’t it all a result of your provocation? You clearly look like you’re waiting for me to be a laughing stock,” Xi Xiaye complained.

Mu Yuchen chuckled to himself, “I’m just observing your ability to adapt. My family’s temperament is all a little weird, so you have to adapt. As long as it’s not a matter of principle, it should be quite easy for you to get along with them.”

“Hey, Mu Yuchen, you and your mother…”

“Again, when it comes to the communication barriers, speaking less is best. Understand?” Mu Yuchen said casually, coping with the ever-shifting events by sticking to a fundamental principle. That was always his best trick.

Xi Xiaye suddenly looked at him with interest. She lowered her voice and said softly, “Were you very afraid of your parents when you were younger and were always controlled?”

Seeing Zhuang Shurong’s imposing manner, she seemed like a strict disciplinarian from senior high school, the very kind that was hard to talk to.

“Father and Mother are very open-minded people. You’ll slowly notice that later. There’s no need to be too worried.”

Xi Xiaye nodded, then she dragged Mu Yuchen to catch up with Zhuang Shurong’s pace.

On the way back to the Mu residence, Mu Yuchen took the driver’s seat while Xi Xiaye sat in the back with Zhuang Shurong.

“Has your mother been well recently? I haven’t been in touch with her for quite some years now.”

It was silent for quite a while. Then, Zhuang Shurong spoke up to break the silence first. She turned to look at Xi Xiaye.

“Pretty good. These few years, she’s been all around writing up her academic reports, so she’s just a little busy,” answered Xi Xiaye.

“Mmm, a few years ago when I went to Universty A to speak, I went to her lab. This matter of you two getting married is very sudden. Is your mother still not aware of it?” Zhuang Shurong suddenly thought of this. She frowned as she looked Xi Xiaye, her beautiful eyes flashing. Her gaze fell onto Mu Yuchen who was driving up front.

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye was instantly stunned. She subconsciously looked up at Mu Yuchen in front too.

“Initially, we were planning to go and meet them over the weekend, then inform you guys, but Grandmother came over to Maple Residence in the middle of the night, so we had to change our plans.”

“Marriage is such a huge matter. You two should’ve discussed it with the family first, Chen Er,” Zhuang Shurong chided as she frowned.
