329 Curled Up Warmth 4

She watched him for quite a while. Then, she took a deep breath before turning around. As she was about to say something, he spoke, "What are you looking at? With a sunset like this, we should cycle around the villa."

Xi Xiaye's expression crumbled as she stared at him and complained, "I thought you'd say we should go take a stroll in this gorgeous sunset or go on a date…"

How unromantic!

"Cycling is a date too, alright? Let's go home." He reached his arm out towards her.

Xi Xiaye covered her face with both hands. "Mr. Mu, can I be lazy for this one day? It's not a weekend. Why are we going cycling?"

"Nope, you have too many opinions."

Before she was done, he dragged her up and Xi Xiaye helplessly allowed him to.

It was roughly the end of the workday, and more people were coming out of the office building. Upon seeing them, many of them halted their steps and stared.

It was already too late when she noticed the crowd's gaze. Xi Xiaye knew that she had been crowned with the title as his secret lover, or to phrase it better, that they were in a relationship.

However, Xi Xiaye did not care. The news of their marriage would be announced soon and all the rumors would just end on its own.

As they were on their way to go cycling in the Grand Waves Villa area, Su Nan called her and said that she was bored at home since Ruan Heng had gone abroad. Xi Xiaye gave it some thought before deciding to invite her over to Maple Residence, and Su Nan was glad to oblige.

They went to the supermarket near the villa area to get some ingredients. Mu Yuchen went straight to the kitchen when they arrived home while Xi Xiaye cleaned up the living room. Soon thereafter, the doorbell rung. Su Nan was standing outside when she went to open the door.

"Xiaye!" Su Nan had a wide grin as soon as she saw Xi Xiaye. She also had a lot of stuff with her.

"Why did you buy so much stuff to bring here?" Xi Xiaye glanced at her, taking the bags of items from her as she dragged her into the house.

"So that I have more chances to come over for free delicious food!" Su Nan beamed.

"Come in first." Xi Xiaye looked at her helplessly as she brought her into the villa.

She poured her a cup of flower tea and sat opposite her. "Coincidentally, I was thinking of meeting you as well. Imperial Sky Fashion City is having a combined press conference with Imperial Sky Jewellery City. It's coming up very soon. I've told Mu Yuchen, so you and Ruan Heng can come over together. I think he should be back by then."

Su Nan nodded. "Don't worry. We'll make sure to be there. Hmm... Why are you alone? Where's Mr. Mu? It's pretty late already. Haven't your servants started making dinner yet? Or are you cooking dinner for me?"

Su Nan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xi Xiaye questionably.

Naturally, Su Nan knew how good her cooking was. It was a completely doubtful gesture!

"Wait, did you just invite me over here to cook dinner for you?" Su Nan stared at Xi Xiaye helplessly when there was no reply. She shrugged and stood up. "The kitchen's there, isn't it?"

Xi Xiaye smiled and quickly stopped Su Nan. "Alright, Nannan. Mu Yuchen is making dinner. He's cooking in the kitchen now, and I'm sure you'll like his cooking."

Su Nan's eyes brightened up as she threw Xi Xiaye a meaningful glance. "Ah, you're doing a pretty good job training him! So, I'm really lucky tonight to be able to taste his cooking, am I not?"

Xi Xiaye stared at her, ignoring her teasing. She then said, "Getting back to the press conference, Manager Mo from your company contacted me several times, and I told him I'd ask you what you thought about it."

Su Nan drank some tea and nodded. "Manager Mo told me about it. I'm not going to work right now, so they found someone to replace me, but I still had to go take a look over there from time to time. Wait until I give birth to my baby. I want to change a new working environment. I might just become a fashion designer."

"That's up to you. It's nice to have a change of working environment, but I'm just worried that you might have your hands full." Xi Xiaye then glanced at Su Nan's belly.

Su Nan's expression saddened. "That's true. Ruan Heng said that I've been a lot more irritable than before. I'll probably become really ferocious after giving birth to my baby. I'm sure it'll make me angry! Xiaye, do you think I've changed a lot? Especially after marriage…"

"You're overthinking. I think you're fine. You're not as crazy and playful as before."

"Well, I have a baby inside me now after all! By the way, Xiaye, I heard Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi are having their wedding soon. Two days ago, I saw Han Yifeng's mother and your wicked stepmother, and they were discussing this matter. I really don't know what that bastard Han Yifeng is thinking. I've never seen a person faker than Xi Xinyi in my life before…"

"Wedding? Xi Xinyi's in deep trouble now, and they are having their wedding soon?" Xi Xiaye was surprised.

Su Nan shrugged and let out a scoff. "What else can they do? Xi Xinyi's belly will bloat up like a balloon in a few months' time. Their families care so much about their reputation. I'm guessing that they'll arrange the wedding immediately when things calm down a little."

"I also think that the Yue family pressured the Han family into this, but I heard that Han Yifeng looks worn out lately. I wonder if he became like that because of Xi Xinyi."

A sense of glee over someone else's misfortune flashed in Su Nan's eyes. "It's great that they are married. They can make each other suffer. I'm sure they'll be done for once Han Yifeng starts to realize what's wrong!"

Xi Xiaye was stunned when she heard Su Nan's words. "Maybe he's already realized it now." She closed her eyes, recalling their conversation at Yueying the other day.
