《(PART 1) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 90: Making Her Look Good

Su Nan nodded and raised her wine glass as well.
Clink!
The four glasses met together and a beautiful arc of light reflected from the wine glasses, signifying long lasting friendships.
As they emptied their glasses, Xi Xiaye felt the coldness within her dissipate. Just as she wanted to get some food, the man beside her already spooned quite a bit of it into her bowl.
"I don't mind you looking at me the whole time if that'll fill you up," Mu Yuchen noticed her gaze and replied without even looking back.
"How'd you know that I was looking at you if you weren't looking at me?" Xi Xiaye retorted quietly and then she started working on the food he scooped for her.
...
During the meal, Mu Yuchen and Ruan Heng chatted a little. Su Nan was being really talkative and kept bringing up the embarrassing things Xi Xiaye did before, making things awkward for Xi Xiaye.
"Master Mu, do you know that Xiaye loves to draw comics? Her favorite thing to draw is a pig. During our first year in high school, there was a comic competition and she won the first prize by drawing that pig of hers. Our art teacher even labeled the pig as the world's best pig!"
"Su Nan! Stop it!"
Xi Xiaye's face could not hide her blushing as her mind started replaying the scene when Mu Yuchen had found her drawings in the company elevator. There was even an image of her as the queen punishing Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi...
Mu Yuchen then gave it some thought before solemnly reminding her, "I almost forgot. You left your pig with me."
Su Nan then went on talking all about Xi Xiaye, and Mu Yuchen more or less captured the gist of it — she was actually a very simple person.

...
The meal went on for about two hours. Su Nan was feeling happy and had drunk a little too much, She started saying that she wanted to go singing and bathe in a hot spring. In the meanwhile, Ruan Heng helplessly supported her out of the room.
"Ah Mo, please send them back home safely! Oh, also, get them some hangover remedy on the way back too. Nannan drank a lot tonight..." Xi Xiaye watched Ruan Heng guide Su Nan into the car as she instructed Ah Mo.
"Don't worry Missus, I will," Ah Mo got into the driver's seat.
Mu Yuchen should have sent them back, but after a long day, he seemed tired and he had also had quite a bit to drink just now.
"Let's go back too." Mu Yuchen put his hand on his forehead as the car left. He turned to the Cayenne beside him and opened the door to the front passenger seat to get in.
When Xi Xiaye got into the car, he was resting with his eyes closed.
"Are you very tired?" Xi Xiaye strapped her seatbelt on and a faint light shone in her eyes.
Mu Yuchen took a deep breath. "I'm alright. You can drive now. Your friends drink like fish. I drank in the afternoon too, so it was pretty tough for me just now."
Without even opening his eyes, his voice sounded tired and hoarse unlike the calmness he displayed just now.
Xi Xiaye suddenly laughed. "I never told you to outdrink them! Su Nan can probably hold her liquor better than me. You don't have to force yourself."
"I'm just trying to make you look good, alright? How many points do I get?" He asked quietly.
"Thank you for making me look good, Mr. Mu! Well, I guess I'll give you 90 points!" Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him as she helped him to fasten his seatbelt.

"Is 100 the full marks I can get?" Mu Yuchen opened his eyes slightly and squinted at her. Was she trying to trap him again?
Xi Xiaye was impressed by how alert this man was. Ever since the last time she had won him in the kitchen, she never found other chances to mock him. It was as expected of Mu Yuchen!
"I'll close the windows. The breeze might make you more uncomfortable when you're drunk."
Xi Xiaye did not reply his question on the full marks. She closed the windows and turned on the music in the car before starting the car.
"How was your trip to City B? The company we worked with in City B has delayed their submission of the proposal for a very long time. The old chairman got Vice President Liu to meet them once before. For some reason, it got delayed again," Xi Xiaye asked out of concern as she watched his tired face.
Mu Yuchen shifted his body slightly. "It's almost solved. We changed to work with another company and they want to add on another project."
"What project?"
"Start a new Movie City."
"A new Movie City?"
Xi Xiaye gaped at him in surprise. "Is that why you asked my opinion about getting Yueying the other day?"
"Mmm, the other Vice Presidents think it's a brilliant opportunity," Mu Yuchen replied absent-mindedly.
"I remember Qi Kai deciding to withdraw their investment in Yueying. If it were not for Han Corporation, then Yueying... Well, if you want to get Yueying, maybe you can start working on Qi Kai's side," Xi Xiaye suggested quietly after a brief moment of silence.
Mu Yuchen opened his eyes with a faint light in his gaze. He was surprised. "You agree to get Yueying as well?"
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and sighed, "You don't have to mind me. As long as we can get the most benefit out of it, do it. It means nothing to me anymore..."
