Chapter 566. Little Apple (2)
When he said this, Xi Xiaye immediately rolled her eyes. Her expression was filled with disdain.
Xiaye squinted and stared at the side profile of his handsome face as she spoke with a frown, “You really talk shop all the time, Mr. Mu. I notice that no matter where and when, you never forget to exhibit your innate nature as an unscrupulous businessman. How did I fancy someone like you? You aren’t sincere at all. Your thought process is so dangerous.”
“What a heartless woman! I sacrificed myself to prop up your image of a gentle and filial wife, yet I’ve never heard you say a word of gratitude to me.” Mu Yuchen glared at her unhappily.
He was telling the truth. Ever since he married her, he had been slowly caring more about the Mu family too. He constantly brought things home, such as Zhuang Shurong’s accessories and nutritional supplements, and some healthy products for Wang Hui, but these were all done in Xi Xiaye’s name. After all, women have always been more meticulous about these things.
The little woman simply had a low EQ, but she was quite filial which made him satisfied.
Actually, previously, he had been quite worried that she would have trouble interacting with his mother, Zhuang Shurong, so he did tell her that if it did not work out, they should just communicate less. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Shurong was actually quite happy with her. In this period of time that she was pregnant, she would always be worried and brew soup to bring over before she went over to the court.
Zhuang Shurong was a firm person who conducted herself stiffly and solemnly. Even though she was his mother, they were not very close.
“Hey, Mr. Mu, I keep feeling like you don’t quite like to speak at home, especially with your parents. You’re always so courteous. Why is that?” she could not help but ask as she reached out to hold his wrist and gaze quietly at him.
“I don’t know what I can talk about to them since we have different fields of work, and my parents’ work is of a sensitive nature. Since I was young, they have been busy with work. They always left early and returned late. When they did return, I was mostly already asleep. After that, I was sent away to study, so we communicated even less. As a result, it’s hard not to be distant, but I know they’re very caring about me.” As Mu Yuchen said this, his dark eyes became faintly distant with memory.
