Chapter 52. Wedding Night
When Xi Xiaye returned to the bedroom, there were already no signs of him. The room was still cloaked in darkness, while the bathroom was brightly lit.
Xi Xiaye stood at the door and struggled for quite a while before she finally walked over to the bedside. In a glance, she saw that the needle on the clock showed 10 p.m. It was late. However, to someone like her who always pulled all-nighters, it was still very early.
The bed was huge and it would not be a problem fitting five to six people. With a cozy, simple and elegant light color and the dim yellow light shining down from the wall, it gave anyone a snug and warm feeling.
She walked over to pull up the curtains, then turned back to sit down quietly by the bed. She could not help but feel a little nervous.

She turned to look and noticed that Mu Yuchen had walked out in a black robe. With a towel in his hand, he was ruffling it through his slightly damp, dark hair.
When he saw Xi Xiaye staring blankly at him from the bedside, he stopped what he was doing and looked at her. Picking up the uneasiness in her eyes, he noticed that her fingers that hooked onto the bedside were also turning a little pale…
He did not say anything and just walked over in huge strides, pulling out the chair from the bedhead and sitting down. He took Xi Xiaye’s laptop and briefcase from the short side table. Then, he casually opened the laptop and asked softly, “Where’s the City S project?”
