Xi Xiaye did not hear Mu Lingshi's reply. When she glanced over and noticed Mu Lingshi shaking, she sat up and studied her.
Mu Lingshi's eyes were closed, but there were tears at the corners of her eyes...
"Ah Shi..." Xi Xiaye called out to her.
"I'm fine, Sis-in-law. I just feel exhausted holding on. My luck is really bad, isn't it?" Mu Lingshi took a deep breath and spoke with a bitter tone, "At times, I feel that happiness is right within my grasp, but fate can just make it disappear the next moment. I don't know what to do...It seems like it keeps happening again and again. Sis-in-law, am I that unfortunate?"
"Why do you think so? You'll have everything that you deserve. Don't overthink it."
Xi Xiaye lay back down and stared at the ceiling. "Moments like these are challenging to a person's willpower, but it's exactly during times like this that we can't give up, or else, we'll just be falling into someone's trap. Be strong and find a solution. Giving up on yourself isn't helping at all. Everyone's here with you, alright?"
"Thank you, Sis-in-law!" Mu Lingshi grabbed Xi Xiaye's arm as she thanked her.
"Let's sleep. It's getting late."
Half an hour later, the sound of Mu Lingshi's steady, gentle breathing reached Xi Xiaye's ears. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone flashed with a notification, so she quickly looked at it.
Her man had messaged him and asked her to come out for a moment, so Xi Xiaye put on a jacket and quietly left the room.
Xi Xiaye went downstairs after she left the room. She noticed the man was brewing some tea in the living room.
Mu Yuchen turned around when he heard some noises, and she sat down beside him.
"Are you done with work already? It's time to sleep now. Why did you make tea?" Xi Xiaye picked up a grape from the fruit platter on the table and fed him as she asked.
He ate it without hesitation. "Mmm, I took a nap in the office this afternoon, so I'm not that sleepy yet. Stay with me for a while." He put his arm over her shoulders. "Is Lingshi asleep?"
"She just fell asleep. You look like you have something on your mind. Is it about Ah Mo or the company?" Xi Xiaye could easily tell through his eyes that something was wrong though he looked calm as usual on the surface.
He smiled and grabbed the cup of tea. "Want to try some?"
Xi Xiaye shook her head, unable to stand the bitter taste. Her gaze continued to lock onto him. "You're always like this when you're in a bad mood, Mr. Mu!"
"Your observation skills are improving." He drank the bitter tea without even batting an eyelid. "I got news from Su Chen. It's highly possible that Gu Lingsha was behind the fire at Zitong's store, but Doris sent Gu Lingsha abroad several days ago."
"Gu Lingsha? Why her?" Xi Xiaye gave Mu Yuchen a surprised glance. "Could it be due to her arrest and lockup in the police station before?"
Mu Yuchen nodded. "That's the only thing she would hold a grudge against Su Chen about, so they were dragged into the mess." He sounded helpless. He never thought about dragging Su Chen and Zimo into this mess, but it still happened inevitably.
"Don't worry. I'm sure they'll understand." Xi Xiaye understood how he felt as it was similar to how she felt when Su Nan and Ruan Heng got into a conflict with Gu Lingsha.
