The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife

Chapter 1380 Perish 1

The temperature remained low during the afternoon, but the chill did not matter as they were home.

Xi Xiaye was rearranging books in the study while Mu Yuchen was busy going through some documents.

After tidying up the study, Xi Xiaye went to get prepared instead of bothering him. Sis Wang had gone to the Mu residence, and hardly anyone else came by except the servants who visited to clean from time to time.

It was peacefully quiet inside the study, and he could smell the faint fragrance of tea some time later. When his woman silently handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to him, he raised his head and noticed her taking away his empty teacup.

“What time is it?” Mu Yuchen asked as he took a sip.

“It’s almost 2 p.m. now. Are you about to be done?” Xi Xiaye replied.

Mu Yuchen closed the document and left it aside, then he leaned back against the chair. “Almost there. Are you tired?”

“I’m alright. I just did some simple cleaning. We could go back earlier...”

Before Xi Xiaye could finish her sentence, Mu Yuchen’s phone started ringing, so she glanced over and noticed Li Si’s name on the screen to her surprise.

“It should be news from the police station.”

Mu Yuchen answered the call, and Li Si’s voice quickly reached him.

“Master, it’s all done! The whole city is on the hunt for Doris. There were signs of her appearing near outskirts in the west. Our people are heading there.”

“Mmm, make sure she’s captured.”

Mu Yuchen hung up as he looked at Xi Xiaye and explained, “Ah Mo and Li Si dropped by this morning. I handed them the documents, and I suppose the police have them now.”

Xi Xiaye paused before nodding. “We should’ve done that so much earlier. You’ve been suffering so much all these years because of her...”

“It’s not just her. Everything that has happened can’t just be blamed on one person. Doris is at fault, but Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng played a role. Lingtian is responsible too, and that includes me as well.” Mu Yuchen took another sip from his teacup.

Xi Xiaye sighed. “No one would’ve expected things to turn out this way. Grandfather and Grandmother’s deaths should be mourned, and moving forward in life is the best we can do for them.”

He chuckled slightly as he looked at her. Then, he put down the teacup and said, “Come here...”

Xi Xiaye went close and allowed him to wrap his arm around her waist.

“I’m not really that sad, especially after what we’ve gone through the past two years.”

“You’re always frowning whenever they are mentioned, and you’ll get unhappy if I say anything bad about them.” She still remembered his reaction from their last conversation about Mu Lingtian.

Mu Yuchen lowered his head and laughed. It was difficult for him to explain the bond of brotherhood to her, but this was also why he loved her so much...

“Alright, I won’t say anything further. Pack up and get changed, and put on something thicker. It’s cold outside.” Xi Xiaye did not continue the conversation as she patted his hand on her waist.

“Mmm, let’s go.” He stood up together with her.

...

With the warrant to arrest Doris in order, the whole City Z was on the move. Li Si and the other men were also on high alert. No one would have expected that at this moment, in front of Mu Zi’s gravestone...

Bang!

The loud sound of a gunshot pierced through the silent air. Mu Lingshi heard a muffled voice as someone grabbed her hand.

“Miss, run!”

Mu Lingshi was stunned when she saw a bullet wound on Ah Quan’s chest.

“Ah Quan! Ah Quan! What happened? Ah Quan!” She quickly helped Ah Quan get up while the other two bodyguards rushed forward as well.

Mu Lingshi heard the sound of footsteps coming closer behind her, and before she could react, the cold sensation of a steel barrel was felt on her forehead.

“Long time no see, Mu Lingshi. You’d better not move, or else, he’ll die very quickly.” The cold voice was mixed with madness.

As the cold draft raised the corner of her coat, Mu Lingshi already knew who it was without needing to see the woman’s face.

“Let go of h—”

Bang!

One of the bodyguards was shot by Doris before he could even finish his sentence!

“Shut up if you don’t want to die! I’d love to see who can stop me today! Back off! Mu Lingshi, tell them to back off if you don’t want them dead!”

“Don’t you dare, Doris! Ah Yi, back off!” Mu Lingshi’s voice was cold as ice. Her eyes hidden under the pair of sunglasses were hostile as well.

“I’ve been looking for you, and I finally caught you here. Otherwise, I might have made my way into the Mu residence.” Doris sounded triumphant as she grabbed Mu Lingshi tightly from behind and pointed a gun at her forehead. A ferocious expression filled her beautiful face.

“Move forward. Back off, you, don’t move! I can’t guarantee that accidents won’t happen!” Doris pushed the gun harder on Mu Lingshi’s forehead.

“What do you want?” Mu Lingshi took a deep breath and tried to stay as calm as possible.

This woman was mad! She had already gone into hiding when Ah Mo’s incident was exposed, so why would she appear right now? Would she not want to stay away? Perhaps, she felt like she had nothing to lose anymore.

When she thought about this, Mu Lingshi clenched her teeth and her eyes darkened. By her side, her hands clenched into fists.

“What do I want? I want everything to come to an end! Isn’t that what you wanted as well?”
