《(PART 1) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 191 Sprouting Doubts (1)
Advertisement
Xi Xiaye watched the car until it disappeared at the end of the road. Just as she was about to get into her car, the phone inside her pocket started ringing.
It was Wang Hui calling. She was urging Xi Xiaye to go over soon, so Xi Xiaye gave her a brief reply before hanging up and rushing over.
Wang Hui was sitting on a long bench beside the public square waiting when Xi Xiaye arrived at the New Era Plaza. What surprised Xi Xiaye was that Mu Yinan had come over as well.
"Grandfather, Grandmother! Have you guys been waiting for a long time?" Xi Xiaye called out to the old couple who were chatting to each other as she went over to them.
The old couple stopped talking and looked towards the direction of the voice calling out to them. When they saw Xi Xiaye's face flushed from rushing over, Wang Hui and Mu Yinan traded glances and laughed. "Not really. Have you had lunch?"
Xi Xiaye nodded. "I went back to the Shen Residence with Mu Yuchen. My mother made lunch for us."
"Then, what about Chen Er? Where is he?" Wang Hui looked around but Mu Yuchen was nowhere to be found.
"He said he needs to be at the council office and he'll head straight back to the Mu Residence at night. Where do you two want to walk around?" Xi Xiaye handed Mu Yinan his walking cane as she asked.
Mu Yinan took the cane from her with a smile. "I've never really had the time to visit after this place started running. I heard from your grandmother that this place is doing well, so I decided to tag along to take a look."
"I'm pretty sure he saw President Elder Wang looking pretty suave in a Tang suit several days ago and wanted one himself, so he came along to shop today. Just how old are you already? Still not changing that side of you! Yet you try to make yourself sound cool!" Wang Hui rolled her eyes at Mu Yinan and grabbed Xi Xiaye's hand as she mocked him.

Mu Yinan was unhappy when his wife made fun of him. "Aren't you too? Didn't you think about getting some custom-made qipaosas well? Xiaye, your grandmother's mind is going dull. She's even going to sign up for a Latin dance class later. Trying to flirt around even at such an old age! Do you know that at Elder Wu's birthday banquet, they were both dancing so happily? He was your grandma's comrade from last time and he wrote a disgusting love letter to her before. I can still remember it now!"
Mu Yinan was suddenly triggered and ignored Wang Hui's clouded expression as he recited the content of the love letter from his memory.
"You're the wind that passes through flowers like the sunset of that spring evening, bringing along the elegant fragrance, gently moving through my metal gun. Oh my lady, you're..."
Before Mu Yinan could finish, Wang Hui jumped onto Mu Yinan, blushing furiously. "Mu Yinan! Shut up! You think you're the only one good at picking up girls! Do you want me to reveal everything about you in front of our granddaughter-in-law?"
"Sure, I'm good at it anyway!"
"You!"
...
Xi Xiaye stood aside as she watched the old bickering couple with a smile. She did not stop them and just observed quietly.
After a while, they stopped.
"I'm not talking to you anymore!"
"Hmph!"
The two of them looked away angrily.
Finding herself in such a funny situation, Xi Xiaye had no idea which side she should be on. After a brief moment, she tried to smooth things over. "Alright, Grandfather and Grandmother, this is actually pretty easy. Since Grandmother likes to dance, why don't you become her partner, Grandfather? I remember that you dance pretty well, and with this, you can train yourself too, so why not?"

The old couple found the suggestion acceptable, and the war ceased. The three of them walked around together.
They went into a retro shop and the owner welcomed them passionately when he saw Mu Yinan. With Wang Hui's encouragement Xi Xiaye tried on several qipaos.
While she looked skinny, she had a nice figure. Everyone thought she looked great as she put on the qipaos, and Wang Hui got the salesperson to pack it up immediately.
"Grandfather, this section consists mostly of foreign brands. It's one of the higher spending areas, kind of similar to Imperial Sky Fashion City, but this isn't the company's main focus this year anymore..." Xi Xiaye walked forward as she briefed Mu Yinan.
Mu Yinan nodded from time to time in satisfaction. "Mmm, that's pretty good. I'm not worried about leaving the company to you two at all."
...
At 6 p.m. in the evening, the sky turned dark and the three of them came out from the shopping area. There were also several servants behind them who were called from home on short notice to help carry the things they had bought.
When they arrived at the public square, Xi Xiaye told Wang Hui and Mu Yinan to rest on the long bench while she went to get the car. Unexpectedly, she ran into two people she was not pleased to meet.
They were Han Yifeng's mother, Huang Ziyao, and Huang Shanshan.
Huang Ziyao's impression of Xi Xiaye had always been quite positive before. She also knew that Xi Xiaye treated her son very well, but she seemed to be fonder of Xi Xinyi after finding out what had happened between them.
For some reason, Xi Xinyi just fit her standard of a daughter-in-law better. Also, her son liked her more.
However, she felt mixed emotions when she saw Xi Xiaye, especially after reading the news on the papers for the past few days. She gave it some thought before walking over to Xi Xiaye who was getting her car.
"Xiaye?"
"What's the matter, Mrs. Han?" Xi Xiaye was pretty calm herself because she did not really have any feelings towards Huang Ziyao.
"You really overdid it, Xi Xiaye. You're even attacking your own sister! Just who is that Caitlyn? You chose her! What exactly did she give you?"
Huang Shanshan was really angry, ignoring the fact that Huang Ziyao was there, she already started yelling at Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye glanced at her and laughed coldly. "Do you think that the ambassadorship was already decided for Xi Xinyi? If that's what you think, then I can tell you that you're right. I did it based on my personal feelings. I didn't want Xi Xinyi to get it, so what?"
"You! Witch! Aunt, look at her!" Huang Shanshan glared at Xi Xiaye before turning to Huang Ziyao.
