Chapter 334. Incited Conflict (2)
The warm sun was high up in the sky as its gentle rays shrouded the quiet Maple Residence in its holy glory. The cold ground was covered with long shadows.
At noon, Mu Yuchen made lunch after he washed up. Xi Xiaye had requested for sliced chicken porridge for lunch. As he was cooking the porridge slowly, he took some time to clean up the forbidden places: the bedroom and the study room.
Inside the bedroom, Mu Yuchen dragged open the thick curtains and pushed the glass windows open. Glittering sunlight streamed into the room as a strong wind breezed through. Then, there were some movements from under the blanket on the huge, comfortable bed.
Xi Xiaye sat up with her messy hair, rubbing her eyes and looking over to where the noises came from. She saw Mr. Mu watering the plants. “What time is it now? Why are you up so early?” Her voice sounded a little hoarse.
Mr. Mu turned around when he heard her voice. Seeing that she was sitting inside the blanket, his expression softened. “You’re up? It’s not early now. It’s almost 11 a.m. Go and wash up and then we can eat.”
He put the glass of water in his hand away as he grabbed the remote control and switched on the music player in the room. Soothing music started to play. It was a classic, “My Heart Will Go On”.
Xi Xiaye was in a jovial mood when she heard the song. She got out of bed and brushed her own hair, humming along to the tune as she walked towards the wardrobe. She then went into the bathroom after grabbing an outfit.
Mu Yuchen had already cleaned the bedroom when she came out of the bathroom. He had even tidied up her messy wardrobe.
“Let’s head out earlier later. I want to fix my hair. Are you coming with me?” Xi Xiaye looked at her long hair in front of the dressing table while talking to him as he adjusted his tie.
