Chapter 160 A Marriage of Convenience Turns into Love with the Second Male Detective (Part 7)



Mu Wenxi felt a little guilty. She put her hands on her hips and tried to act nonchalant: "I know, Mom, I'll move in with Xi Changye tomorrow."

Mother Mu suddenly stood up: "Alright, I'm too old to interfere. You two decide for yourselves. Whether you hold it or not is your business. Your father and I are leaving now."

The father listened intently from the side, and when he saw that the mother was about to go back, he immediately got up and reached out to help her.

Mu Wenxi looked at the two and muttered, "They're so old and still so clingy."

Su Yanhe rushed to the bar when he had some free time, looking nonchalant. His men at the door didn't stop him because they recognized him, and he barged into Xi Changye's room on the second floor. As soon as he entered, he started yelling, "Xi Changye! You've gone too far! You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as your wedding. You didn't say a word, and then you suddenly called. Are we still friends?"

The room was dark. Xi Changye sat on the sofa, his expression unreadable: "You already knew, didn't you?"

Su Yanhe reached out and turned on the light with a "click": "You're really energy-efficient."

The room suddenly brightened, and Su Yanhe blinked as she looked at Xi Changye, who remained motionless.

Su Yanhe: "You made a phone call but didn't mention your partner, which startled me. If I hadn't seen your posts on WeChat Moments, I would have thought it was fake. Jiang Ningyuan is almost going crazy. You're amazing."

Xi Changye: "Heh."

Su Yanhe sat down next to Xi Changye: "So, what did you do to get Xiao Mu to marry you? No, I should say Xiao Mu finally saw the light! Congratulations! When are you planning to have the wedding?"

Xi Changye then turned to look at Su Yanhe: "When Xixi wants to have a wedding."

Su Yanhe: "Okay, don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet, and don't forget to invite Jiang Ningyuan. I really want to see his face. He's been usurping my place for so many years and he still doesn't know how to cherish it. What a piece of trash."

Su Yanhe immediately realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking. He shouldn't have mentioned Jiang Ningyuan in front of Xi Changye. He looked at Xi Changye and thankfully, the other party seemed to be acting normally.

Xi Changye said helplessly, "Alright, shave your beard."

Su Yanhe touched his beard: "My beard, what's wrong with my beard?"

He muttered to himself, "Isn't he handsome?"

Mu Wenxi, who had just been nagged by his mother for a while, came to the bar to find Xi Changye and ran into Xi Changye's men downstairs.

"The boss is upstairs."

Mu Wenxi nodded. This was her first time going up to the second floor and stepping onto Xi Changye's territory. She had been to the bar many times before, but had never been up to the second floor. She always felt that Xi Changye had a secret.

The innermost room on the second floor is Xi Changye's room.

The people at the door greeted her and told her to go in directly.

Mu Wenxi: "Don't we need to report this?"

The subordinate said, "Master said Miss Mu can go in at any time."

Mu Wenxi opened the door and went inside.

Xi Changye, sitting on the sofa, noticed the commotion and looked straight towards the door. To his surprise, it was Mu Wenxi. He immediately stood up and said, "You've arrived."

Su Yanhe: "Xiao Mu is here too."

Mu Wenxi nodded to him: "Senior."

Xi Changye turned his head and stared at Su Yanhe, who felt a chill run down her spine: "Okay, you guys chat, I'm leaving first."

Mu Wenxi: "Goodbye, senior."

Xi Changye saw him out of the room. Su Yanhe was about to thank him when the other party suddenly closed the door.

Su Yanhe looked shocked: "Forgetting friends for the sake of beauty, forgetting friends for the sake of beauty."

Mu Wenxi looked around Xi Changye's room: "Did you stay here before?"

Xi Changye took a can of drink from the refrigerator next to him and handed it to Mu Wenxi: "This is just a temporary place to stay. I work here during the day, and I sometimes sleep here if I work late."

He pointed to the small room inside.

Mu Wenxi took the drink with a look of surprise: "You still remember that I like to drink this kind of beverage."

Xi Changye: "Yes, I remember."

Mu Wenxi said with a beaming smile, "I couldn't find this drink before. I thought it had been discontinued a long time ago."

Xi Changye: "Production is just taking place in another city."

Mu Wenxi: "By the way, my mom scolded me. I came here today to ask you if we should live together?"

Xi Changye gripped his drink tightly: "What did you say?"

Mu Wenxi: "I said, should we live together? After all, we're already married. Wouldn't it be a bit strange if we didn't live together? Besides, my mom keeps nagging me."

Xi Changye only cared about the words "cohabitation": "Okay, then you can move to my place first, and we'll move to the new house later."

He gave Mu Wenxi a deep look, but couldn't detect the slightest reluctance in her eyes.

Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll move to your place."

Xi Changye: "Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll go back and tidy up later, and I think I can tidy up again tomorrow morning."

Xi Changye reached for the suit jacket on the sofa and put it on: "I'll take you home."

Mu Wenxi: "Okay."

The next day, after Mu Wenxi tidied up her house, she found that she didn't have much stuff. She already had a lot of furniture at Xi Changye's place, so she didn't need to move it. In the afternoon, Xi Changye came to help Mu Wenxi move. He called a group of people and they carried a large truckload of things to Xi Changye's residence.

Xi Changye: "Is that all the stuff?"

Mu Wenxi: "Yeah, you should have all the furniture there, so I didn't move it."

Xi Changye: "Alright, I'll have my men prepare the ones that aren't available."

Mu Wenxi: "Okay."

The car quickly arrived at Xi Changye's house, which resembled a small manor. The iron gate opened automatically, and the car slowly drove inside.

Xi Changye: "We've arrived. I moved out of my family home and live here after I became an adult. Usually, it's just the two of us here. The housekeeper and nanny live next door."

The multi-story villa, bathed in warm yellow light from the outside, has a cozy feel to it.

Xi Changye carried Mu Wenxi's luggage inside, and the others gradually moved their things into the living room. The living room was large and cold, with cream-colored tile floors and very little furniture, just a sofa and a coffee table.

Mu Wenxi was a little surprised. This place didn't feel like a home; it was more like a temporary residence: "It's very deserted."

Xi Changye: "Yeah, I rarely came back before. I usually just stayed in the bar's room."

He put the luggage on the ground and led Mu Wenxi into the prepared room: "Your room is ready. Come with me. Do you like it?"

Mu Wenxi walked into the room, which was much warmer than the living room: "Yes, thank you."

Xi Changye: "No need to be polite. Just let me know if you need anything."

Mu Wenxi nodded, pushed her luggage into the room, and began to unpack.

Unexpectedly, Xi Changye didn't go to work at the bar that night. Mu Wenxi stayed in her room tidying up, and when it was time for dinner, she ordered takeout as usual.

She only remembered that she had moved her address after she had placed all the orders, so she quickly canceled them. She went downstairs and found that the food had been heated up, but there was no one else in sight. Perhaps the housekeeper or the nanny had prepared it?
