Some time after lunch, Ah Mo and Li Si arrived before the young couple got to finish their cup of tea on the sofa.

Ah Mo was a handsome, young man. He had stayed by Mu Yuchen's side for many years as his bodyguard and driver with pretty impressive skills. He had grown up in the Mu family because he was an orphan back then and Mu Yinan had picked him up from the orphanage and raised him under Mu Tangchuan. Mu Yinan even arranged for him to stay in his own place when he grew up and moved out.

Mu Yuchen treated Ah Mo like his brother and even the servants from Mu Residence called him Master Ah Mo.

"Master Ah Mo, Elder Madam asked you to take these into the car first."

The housekeeper led the servants to transfer a bunch of gifts into the car. The gifts were meant for the Shen family and there were also some for Xi Xiaye.

Ah Mo opened the trunk and put the gifts inside. Soon, the whole trunk was filled up.

"It's done. Are the Master and Missus here?" Ah Mo asked the housekeeper as he was done putting the stuff into the trunk. He then heard voices from the front.

"Xiaye, Chen, come and visit when you have the time. I know you youngsters would like to spend time with each other since you've just gotten married. I don't expect you two to move back here. I just hope that you guys can visit us more. After all, we're not that far away from Maple Residence, so you guys can even drop by for dinner after work before going home."

Wang Hui seemed to miss them already and she always felt a little lonely after retiring. Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong were busy and usually not home. Sometimes, they would also work outstation and have even lesser time to spend with the elders. Mu Yuchen had been abroad only until recently, and he had just taken over Glory World, making him very busy. Most of the time, he was quiet at home anyway.

Their only hope now was Xi Xiaye, to whom the elders were not strangers anymore, especially Mu Yinan. Mu Yinan also happened to know that Xi Xiaye was talented at Chinese chess and knew a thing or two about tea as well, so it would be great if she could visit them often.

Xi Xiaye halted her steps at the entrance. She glanced to the side at Mu Yinan and the bunch that had ushered them out. She felt immensely grateful that they had really genuinely accepted her. An unexplainable warmth swelled within her.

She nodded lightly and said in a soft tone, "We will. It's pretty cold outside. Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, please go back in."

Mu Yinan nodded with a smile as Mu Tangchuan said kindly, "Come back whenever you have the time. Chen is busy. Just let him be."

"Be good. Don't forget about what I said before," Zhuang Shurong reminded.

Xi Xiaye nodded with a smile. As she wanted to bid them farewell, the man beside her pulled her impatiently into the car.

"Drive," he told Ah Mo as he just sat down and the latter quickly started the car.

The car traveled swiftly on the street with the couple at the back staying silent. As usual, Mu Yuchen turned on his laptop and was looking at some company documents. Beside him, Xi Xiaye was flipping through a magazine.

"Mu Yuchen?" After a while, Xi Xiaye's voice broke the peaceful silence within the car.

"Mmm?" Mu Yuchen replied without looking away from the laptop, his fingers still typing away on the keyboard.
