“You’ve seen Father the last time, and this is Mother here. Say hi to them!”

“Father, Mother…”

“Xiaye? That’s a nice name. Did your Mother give you that name?” Mu Tangchuan’s gentle voice reached her as she greeted them. There was a kind smile in his eye. He looked at Zhuang Shurong beside him and she nodded back to him.

“Mmm, Mother said she hoped for me to be like the clear night sky during the summer, so she gave me this name, “Xi Xiaye replied.

Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong looked each other, then he smiled. “It sure sounds like your mother who’d say that.”

“Alright, it’s cold out here. Let’s get inside. We’re preparing lunch and it’ll be ready soon. Your grandfather and I are cooking today. Lucky you!” Wang Hui nagged with a smile when she noticed the frigid wind breezing from outside.

The old couple had a lot of free time to spend after their retirement. They always stayed in the kitchen to hone their culinary skills, argue with each other from time to time, garden in the backyard, or just find someone to play a game of chess with.

With their practice day after day, their cooking soon reached another level and they were experts at it now.

The group walked into the residence.

Worried that Xi Xiaye might be bored, Wang Hui had Zhuang Shurong bring her upstairs after having a cup of tea in the living room. On the other hand, Mu Tangchuan summoned Mu Yuchen to the study room.

Mu Yuchen’s room was the first room on the right across the big living room on the second floor.

A fragrant scent assaulted their nostrils as Zhuang Shurong opened the door. Xi Xiaye glanced inside and noticed that the style was similar to Maple Residence. It was a small room and the design was pretty much the same.

“Chen never liked people in his room, so we never changed the room style. It should be more celebrative, but I guess you youngsters don’t really care.”

Zhuang Shurong indicated for Xi Xiaye to go in and continued, “Take a look inside for yourself. You’ll be staying here whenever you come back in the future. They’ve prepared clothing for you and some daily necessities inside the wardrobe. Just tell the servants if there’s anything else you need. You’re married into the Mu family and we’re all with you, so you don’t have to be too modest.”

Zhuang Shurong’s tone softened and she suddenly turned her head to the silent Xi Xiaye. “Since Chen picked you himself, we don’t have anything to say. We just hope that the both of you live together happily. As his wife, you have to be concerned and take care of him. We never usually gave him a lot of attention and he’s…”

Zhuang Shurong suddenly stopped talking. Then, she took a glance at Xi Xiaye before leaving.

Xi Xiaye looked at Zhuang Shurong as she walked away, staying silent and giving it some thought before entering the room.

She could felt his presence as she stepped into the room. The glass doors leading to the balcony were unlocked and the cold wind blew into the room. There was also an unknown fragrance in the air.

She went back to the living room. Opening the semi-opened door on the right, she found a large study room. Three tall bookshelves were filled with books. However, it was unlike the ones at Maple Residence that needed a staircase to reach the top shelf. Nevertheless, the number of books still shocked Xi Xiaye.

She walked into it and looked around, noticing that one of the bookshelves was similar to the one at Maple Residence. The books were arranged by categories. The difference lay in the fact that there were some military-related books there, which was completely absent from Maple Residence.

She took one of those books out and sat by a table and started flipping through the book.

After several glances, she noticed that writing would appear sporadically in the book to scrawl some notes. It was a similar habit she had.

It was one of the books among the Er Yuehe Collection.

She was not particularly interested in history. When she was in school, she fared absolutely terribly in her art and literature subjects. Shen Wenna was thinking of turning her into an elegant and knowledgeable lady, so she might be able to take after her career path and become a university lecturer.

However, Xi Xiaye was influenced by her grandpa Shen Yue and decided to go into a military business academy. Unfortunately, not long after she went in…

Afterward, she went overseas and specialized in business management. Then, she joined Glory World Corporation after she returned up until now…

She smiled helplessly before putting the book back. Just as she was about to look for another book, she noticed a hidden drawer among the bookshelves containing numerous award certificates and trophies.

In her surprise, she quickly went over and took a closer look at a few of them. All of them were evidence of the excellent achievements of that man.

There was a first-class scholarship award, a national top student award, and all kinds of awards from competitions besides many other certificates in English, which she could not really tell what they were for.

He sure was a top student alright!

Xi Xiaye was feeling more and more astounded as she saw stacks of these certificates and awards. She was nearly drowned by her own sense of inferiority as she had always been bad at studies. The only certificate she had ever received before was a certificate of excellence in a club, and that certificate was meant to encourage!

“What’s with your expression smiling and frowning at the same time? Just what’s so interesting about these things that your eyes are glued to them?”

The man himself suddenly appeared behind Xi Xiaye, his voice making Xi Xiaye jump and she dropped the red-covered certificate on the floor.

She turned around in shock and became angry when she saw Mu Yuchen standing behind her. “You walk without any sound at all! You’ve scared me countless times!”

Mu Yuchen raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. He picked the certificate on the ground up and walked past her. Then, he sat down on a chair nearby. “Are you guilty of something? Why are you so jumpy?”

“You’re the one who walks like a ghost scaring people everywhere.” Xi Xiaye glared at him and grabbed the certificate back from him. She opened it and said, “I didn’t expect you to get this award too. Were you the one my class teacher mentioned broke the record of the Creative Competition? I hear no one has yet to surpass that result!”

“Really? I’m several batches before you. If that’s true, then the younger generation needs to buck up.” Mu Yuchen was not being humble at all as he looked at her with interest.

“There are specializations in academics. I’m strong in other areas. I didn’t know you back then anyway. How excellent you were doesn’t affect me at all.” Xi Xiaye could not help but talk back to him.
