The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife

Chapter 81: Grandpa Shen Yue

“I’m sharing my experience with you here!” She insisted with conviction as she shot him a look, then stared at the steering wheel before him. Her silent eyes suddenly flickered. “Let me drive!”

Then, before Mu Yuchen could agree, she reached out to grip the steering wheel before unhurriedly getting up to move over.

Mu Yuchen pulled his hands away and took a look at her, then shook his head. Without resisting her, he held his hands up and moved to the front passenger seat.

However, just when Xi Xiaye was about to start the car, her phone suddenly buzzed. She frowned and picked it up.

The call had just gotten through when her grandpa, Shen Yue’s aged voice came through.

“I’m at your apartment right now. Come home right away!”

When she heard his order, Xi Xiaye was startled. Her beautiful brows furrowed even further and her expression instantly turned stiff. She could vaguely feel that something was amiss on Shen Yue’s end.

At that moment, Mu Yuchen’s voice suddenly asked urgently, “What’s wrong?”

The person from the other end clearly heard it. Before Xi Xiaye could say anything, Shen Yue’s voice rang once again, “Bring that man beside you home too. How outrageous! How could you’ve done such a huge thing without telling anyone? Am I still your grandpa? Come home right away!”

Then, Shen Yue hung up angrily before Xi Xiaye could even respond. She looked at the screen that had dimmed and then stayed absent-minded for a long while before she turned to Mu Yuchen and said, feeling stunned. “Mu Yuchen, I think we’re dead meat. Grandpa seems to have found out about us getting married. He’s very angry...”

“Grandpa?”

Mu Yuchen’s eyes squinted. In the next instant, he seemed to have guessed something. He could not help but bury his head in his hands as he groaned with a headache, “It’s probably Grandmother and the rest of them that leaked the news out.”

“What do we do now? He’s in my apartment right now, telling us to go back right away!”

Xi Xiaye looked helplessly at Mu Yuchen and explained, “Back then, my parents registered their marriage behind my grandpa’s back. After that, my grandpa has always brooded over it. Plus, the thing between Father and Mother... So, Mu Yuchen, you’ve to be mentally prepared... When Grandpa gets angry, he can be very mean.”

“Worried that I can’t handle him?” Mu Yuchen raised his brows and smiled faintly at her.

“Even though he previously said that he thought highly of you, now that we’ve done this... I’m quite worried that he won’t be able to accept it. Whatever it is, just be good later. Let him know that we’re doing well. Also, you need to...”

“Got it. I know where you’re going with this. With me around, you don’t need to worry. Just drive.”

When he saw that she was obviously quite nervous, Mu Yuchen interrupted her and took his phone out to call Ah Mo.

“Bring that weiqi [1] in the office to Missus’ apartment.”

He hung up right after saying that.

Xi Xiaye sped the black Cayenne all the way, rushing to the apartment like a hurricane.

Ah Mo was quick too. When they reached the apartment and had just gotten down from the car, he was already there. Apart from the ancient jade chessboard that Mu Yuchen had mentioned, he also brought quite a few gifts.

Xi Xiaye urgently pulled Mu Yuchen by his shirt sleeve and rushed into the apartment. She had just reached the door when she saw that her door was already wide open. A middle-aged man in a black suit and black-framed spectacles was anxiously waiting at the door.

When he saw Xi Xiaye’s figure, the middle-aged man walked up and subconsciously sized up Mu Yuchen who was being dragged by Xi Xiaye. “Miss Sun, you guys are finally back. The Elder CEO... He has already been furious the whole afternoon. He didn’t even have lunch after he stormed off angrily from the company meeting, and now...”

“Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Lan! Grandpa’s inside, isn’t he?” Xi Xiaye looked apologetically at Lan Zilang and asked softly.

“Don’t say any more. The old CEO is inside. This should be the grandson-in-law, isn’t he? He’s a good man, but the old CEO’s temper is like that. When he’s done venting, only then you can speak to him.”

Lan Zilang was Shen Yue’s secretary and personal assistant. He had been by Shen Yue’s side for many years and knew Shen Yue’s temper well. At the moment, he was looking at Mu Yuchen with concern. Of course, there was also some admiration in his gaze.

Xi Xiaye nodded slightly. “We know, Uncle Lan. Go in and have a seat too. It’s quite cold outside.”

Then, she looked up at Mu Yuchen, pursing her lips before bracing herself and pulling him into the house.

Indeed, the moment they stepped into the living room, she could immediately feel an extraordinary air of something stifled. Looking up, they were greeted by the white-haired elder who sat on the sofa with his back straight and his staff in his hands.

It was Shen Yue, Xi Xiaye’s grandpa.

He was over 70 years old. His weather-beaten face had the profound understanding of someone who knew his way around the world and his eagle eyes were sharp. He carried an indescribable vigor despite his age.

He was the CEO of Fuhua Real Estate, and he was a brilliant and well-known figure in City Z. However, this old CEO was always reclusive. Despite his well-known reputation, not many knew about his background.

Even the Xi family did not know that Shen Yue was Shen Wenna’s biological father. Back then, Shen Wenna did not care for Shen Yue’s objections and insisted on marrying Xi Mushan. There was a time when she had severed father-daughter ties with Shen Yue. Due to Shen Wenna’s extremely cold and proud nature, she had never mentioned him to anyone before.

It was not until Xi Mushan’s betrayal that caused Shen Wenna to be heartbroken and leave the marriage with nothing that Shen Yue suddenly appeared to bring her back to the Shen residence. While Shen Yue had never liked Xi Mushan, all these years, apart from getting in touch with Xi Xiaye, he did not care for the Xi family at all.

“Grandpa...” Xi Xiaye looked at Shen Yue’s dismal, aged face and called out softly. At the same time, she pulled on Mu Yuchen’s sleeve, hinting at him to greet the old man.

Shen Yue’s sharp gaze pierced through Xi Xiaye, then his sight shifted and immediately locked onto Mu Yuchen who was beside her.
