Chapter 856. Visit (3)
The night gradually quietened and the bright moon hung high up in the sky. It was a rare view of the moon in the clear as it shone like silver in the night sky. Its brilliant light was faint, engulfing the entire Maple Residence in silence.
As always, after her shower, Xi Xiaye coaxed the little guy to sleep and then went to the study room to work on some documents.
She had just pushed open the study room door when she looked up and saw that the man was already sitting leisurely in his black pajamas before the work desk, his fingers flying across the keyboard. When he heard the door open, Mu Yuchen looked up immediately.
He saw a slender figure at the door, then he straightened up slightly and reached out to her. His soft, raspy voice was sensitive as he said, “Come here.”
Xi Xiaye paused, then walked over obediently.
She had just reached the table when he stretched out to hold her hand and pull her to sit on his lap. His arms hugged her and he held her in his embrace. “Is our son asleep?”
“Mmm, he just fell asleep. He’s probably worn out from the fun. Are you still working?” Xi Xiaye responded, and looked down at the laptop screen which was showing dense lines of English words. They were probably documents sent over from New York.
“Almost done. Let me save this document.”
Then, he clicked “save” before shutting his laptop down.
