The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 101 - Promise

Chapter 101: Promise

It was his good friend, Su Chen, on the call.

“I just called Zimo and he wants to hang out too. Why don’t you come over to my place for poker tonight? Or we could go to your house too. We can just stay there overnight. It’s not like we’ve never slept together before. We can even just sleep around on the floor!”

Su Chen was sitting in his large office chair with a cigarette in his mouth.

Mu Yuchen laughed and said, “Don’t you always hang out at Zimo’s place? Why did you suddenly think of me today?”

Su Chen flicked away some cigarette ash as he grinned widely. “I haven’t seen you in such a long time and I miss you! So, my place? Recently, I set a bar counter up at my house. Zimo said it helps set the tone…”

“I’ve been busy with my company’s anniversary lately. We’ll gather again someday. I’ll ask Ah Mo to send you some rare whiskey. Let’s meet in a few days.”

“You think a couple of bottles of whiskey are enough for us to let you off? Give me the red wine in your store room as well. I don’t see you drinking it anyway.”

“Mmm.”

Mu Yuchen hung up on the call after his brief reply. Then, he told Ah Mo behind him, “Ah Mo, get the stuff in the living room, and then get some wine from the storeroom and send it to Su Chen’s house. Invite them to Maple Residence this Friday. Tell them not to come if they haven’t prepared any expensive gifts.”

Ah Mo was stunned for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses and nodded. “Got it, Master!”

He then put the briefcase on the sofa and left quickly.

The sky turned dark and there was only the living room was dimly lit by the light from the kitchen.

He turned the lights in the living room on and scanned the place. He then noticed that the table beside the large window was full of doc.u.ments. There was also a running laptop and paper was strewn all over the table, some even littering the floor.

As he went over to pick them up, he noticed that all of them were related to the South River project. There were some data a.n.a.lysis and images which all seemed complicated.

Now, her laptop screen was displaying a data chart with one-third of it complete. There were some folders opened as well.

He casually picked up a doc.u.ment and read through it. Moments later, his long fingers started typing on the keyboard swiftly…

Xi Xiaye was surprised to see the lights in the living room turned on when she came out of the kitchen with some dishes. She looked around and saw Mu Yuchen sitting in the place she had sat at some time ago.

“You’re back?”

Xi Xiaye put the dishes on the table and went over to Mu Yuchen, stopping beside him.

“Mmm,” Mu Yuchen replied without averting his gaze away from the laptop. His hand movements did not slow down either as his viola-like voice continued, “You just had to make yourself busy, didn’t you? Why are you like this even when you’re on holiday?”

“Well, it’s pretty boring, so I might as well get some work done. Oh, right, the designs you showed me the last time, can I…?” Xi Xiaye asked.

“It’s in the laptop inside the study room. The pa.s.sword is the same as the one on the card I gave you. They should be in the D drive. Look around.”

After saying that, a completed a.n.a.lysis chart appeared on the laptop. He checked it and then saved it before turning off the laptop. Turning his head around, he looked pointedly at her as she stared at the laptop.

“Regarding Glory World being involved in the s...o...b..z industry, I’ve placed Vice President Liu in charge. He hopes that you can help him out a little. What do you think?” He asked quietly.

Xi Xiaye went silent and gave it some thought. She then nodded. “Sure.”

“Can your frail body handle the workload?” Mu Yuchen looked at her doubtfully.

A gentle smile spread across Xi Xiaye’s beautiful face. “It’s alright, but I might trouble you to help me out a bit on the South River project.”

He was familiar with the South River project anyway. The doc.u.ments he had given her were a.n.a.lyzed in detail and he could not have done so without spending time studying it.

“You’re really clever at utilizing your resources. By the way, Su Chen and Zhou Zimo are visiting this Friday.” Mu Yuchen casually straightened her crooked s.h.i.+rt as he said.

“Su Chen and Zhou Zimo?” Xiaye was stunned and just looked at him with a gleam in her eyes.

“Don’t worry. The sly foxes took advantage of me. This Friday is an excellent chance to take it all back from them, so don’t be nice to them. If they don’t give you anything good, they can lose everything, but they can never lose face, especially before the woman of their best friend,” Mu Yuchen said in a casual tone as he started grinning.

Xi Xiaye opened her eyes wide. A moment later, she started giggling. “Mr. Mu, I realize you’re pretty mean. How could you ask me to do something like that?”

“I’m teaching you how to maximize the benefits you can reap. I can’t guarantee that they won’t take advantage of you since you’re stupid. You’ll understand once you speak to them.”

Mu Yuchen smiled.

“Then, do we need to prepare anything? Friday… Hmm, we’re already on holiday…”

“Just stay put. I’ll get Sis w.a.n.g to prepare something. Also, get ready for the annual meeting on Thursday.” Mu Yuchen stood up and his tall body blocked Xi Xiaye.

“Prepare what? Isn’t it just about receiving an award?”

Xi Xiaye glanced at him, then she went towards the kitchen. “Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat first.”

…

After a while, three dishes and a crockpot of soup were served on the table. The couple sat opposite each other.

After drinking two bowls of soup, Mu Yuchen frowned as he looked at Xi Xiaye. He asked quietly, “Missus, don’t you think the soup tastes a little weird?”

“Does it?”

Xi Xiaye frowned. She spooned the soup into her mouth and did not find it odd, so she looked at him in doubt.

“Try more. Tell me again after drinking two more bowls. Here… Try it…”
