《(PART 1) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 53: Engagement Invitation (1)
Advertisement
The next morning, when Xi Xiaye woke up, the man beside her had already gone. The temperature underneath the blanket had cooled down, but the air seemed to still linger with that faint smell of his.
She had slept without dreaming, and it had been quite some time since she had slept so soundly. When she woke up, she felt much more relaxed. Upon waking, she slowly walked out of the room.
She had just reached the stairs when she saw Sis Wang tidying up the living room. Breakfast was already served on the dining table and steam billowed from it.
Xi Xiaye subconsciously took a look around the entire living room. There were no signs of Mu Yuchen either, while Sis Wang who was working had alertly noticed Xi Xiaye.
"Missus, you're awake!" Sis Wang gentle voice was heard.
Xi Xiaye nodded slightly and said softly, "Good morning!"
Then, she slowly walked downstairs.
"Missus, have breakfast first. Otherwise, it'll turn cold later."
Sis Wang tidied up some messy newspapers on the table and walked over. "Are you feeling much better? The Master said to remind you to take your medicine after breakfast. I'll go bring the medicine over first."
Xi Xiaye had searched for quite a while, yet she did not see a certain someone, so she asked, "Where's he?"
"Missus, do you mean the Master?"
Sis Wang beamed as she looked at Xi Xiaye to say with a gentle laugh, "Master went to work early in the morning. There seems to be something important at the office. Assistant Ah Mo came over very early, so Master didn't even have much of a breakfast before he left, but before he left, he made sure I remembered to remind you about breakfast and to take your medicine."
Had he gone to the office?

The night before, he had gone to bed so late and now he had left to the office so early. She could tell that he was no more relaxed than she was.
After falling silent for a moment, Xi Xiaye sat down at the table.
Sis Wang, who had walked to get the medicine from the coffee table, suddenly remembered something. She turned to say this to Xi Xiaye, "Right, Missus, Master seems to have left you a letter on the table."
When Xi Xiaye heard this, her gaze subconsciously swept across the table and saw that indeed on the corner was an envelope with no address. She reached out to open it and a credit card slid out from the inside. A note came out together with it. On it was only one line in bold strokes —
If you want to go out, let Sis Wang go with you. She can drive. The pin number is XXXXXX.
She was startled as she quietly looked at the credit card that reflected a faint golden radiance. Her beautiful face suddenly flashed with a smile. Then, she kept the note and card back into the envelope and continued having breakfast.
After she finished her breakfast and had taken her medicine, she wanted to go out. If she was going to return to the Chen residence this weekend, she would need to prepare some gifts. Coincidentally, she had not gone out for quite a while now. Since it was a rare holiday, she might as well just go out for a walk.
Initially, Xi Xiaye wanted to drive herself, but Sis Wang was not assured and insisted on accompanying her. Helplessly, she just let Sis Wang go with her.
When the Bentley steadily drove out of the Grand Waves Villa area, Sis Wang who sat in the driver's seat suddenly asked softly, "Missus, where are we going?"

"Let's go to New Era Plaza."
New Era Plaza was a project under Glory World. It had already been functioning for quite a while now, yet she had not properly done a site walk around there. She heard that Imperial Sky Entertainment City was preparing to do a launch, so New Era Plaza would probably have some promotions too. It should be quite lively and she wanted to go over to have a look while treating it as an inspection at the same time.
"Okay, !"
When they reached New Era Plaza, it was close to noon and it was bustling all around the plaza. The two of them found a temporary parking lot near the plaza after much difficulty.
"Missus, where do you want to look around first?"
There were many consumer areas near New Era Plaza, from mid-range to the higher range. Anything that one could think of was there. It was considered a densely populated area. Even if it was not a holiday, the place was still very lively.
"Mmm, let's go straight to the gifts and health care section to take a look."
Chen Wenna was someone who paid attention to maintaining her health. Compared to precious pearls and jewels, she preferred some nourishing health care products such as nourishing scented tea and supplements.
As for Chen Yue, he preferred to collect antiques. Xi Xiaye also had a hobby of collecting herself. These few years, she had been collecting some gems, so this was not a problem for her.
Because it was close to the New Year, many people had started shopping for New Year items, so on the way, the streets were quite crowded. Sis Wang had hurled out her arms all the way to fend off the people that came close in fear that they would accidentally bump into Xi Xiaye's injury.
They had walked around quite a few higher end stores at a go, but she did not find anything that she particularly liked. They made a huge round before she finally locked onto a stump of thousand-year ginseng.
"Missus, we've walked for so long. You're tired too. Let's go over to sit down a while. I'll just go and pay for it."
Xi Xiaye nodded, then she closed the box and handed the ginseng to Sis Wang before sitting down on the sofa.
"It's right here! Xinyi, it's right here! I remember the last time I found a thousand-year ginseng here. Eh, it's this one. Xinyi, look!"
Sis Wang could not react in time when the item in her hand had already been snatched. Startled, she quickly turned to look.
What greeted her eyes were two young ladies who were dressed fashionably. One looked very pretty and charming in a light daffodil trendy spring outfit.
The other wore a white Chanel dress with a long, pink coat on the outside and a white scarf around her neck. On her head, she wore a cowl-like hat that was pulled very low, but Sis Wang could vaguely see how she looked and she seemed familiar like a certain popular star from television. However, Sis Wang was not too surprised. Earlier, when she was at the old Mu residence, she had seen all the famous film stars and singers, so she was quite calm about it.
As they moved closer, their strong fragrant perfume filled the air. It seemed like a high-end kind of perfume.
At this moment, the girl in light yellow was holding the brocade box that she had just snatched from Sis Wang's hands. With a delighted smile, she looked at the girl beside her.
One could tell that they had come just for this thousand-year ginseng.

A Girl and Her Food
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix. Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive. But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question... It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right? Things to expect: - A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes. - Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now. - Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments. - I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇 - Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea. Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!
