In the dream.
Chi Mu was wearing a white spaghetti-strap nightgown that barely covered her hips.
She sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her straight and slender jade-like legs, the silver bells on her ankles emitting crisp and pleasant chimes.
When she saw the man emerge from the steamy bathroom, wrapped in a white towel.
She quickly stood up, trotted over, and threw herself into Duan Yanxing’s arms like a fairy spirit.
Tilting her head up, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling, she said, “Mr. Duan, Mumu has been waiting for you for a long time, you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, her body was suddenly lifted into the air.
The next moment, Duan Yanxing had already scooped her up and was carrying her toward the bed.
Chi Mu obediently let him hold her, looking up at the towering man before her with a pitiful expression: “Mr. Duan, tonight… shall we try?”
“Call me what,” Duan Yanxing reminded her coldly.
Chi Mu bit her lip, the mist in her eyes growing thicker: “Husband…”
Her voice was soft and tender, carrying a hint of pleading, as if begging for Duan Yanxing’s mercy.
“Good…”
The man lowered his head, pressing his nose against the girl’s, his scorching breath brushing against Chi Mu’s ear as he whispered softly: “Tonight, I’ll teach the baby something new.”
“Mhm.”
Chi Mu shyly let out a soft “mhm.”
At that moment, she was as charming as a kitten drowning in a sea of tenderness.
Until the man’s face drew closer and closer.
…
“Ah… what are you doing!!!”
Chi Mu jolted awake abruptly. The sky outside the window was already bright, and she turned over to grab her phone from the bedside table, glancing at it.
It was 8:30 in the morning. Thankfully, it was still early.
But damn it, how could she have such a shameful dream, even calling Duan Yanxing “husband”? Oh my god, how shameless!
Chi Mu covered her face with the blanket, wishing she could just strangle herself right then and there.
But last night… why did she have such a dream?
Was it just because Duan Yanxing was so handsome, so kind, and even drove her home?
What the hell, when did she, Chi Mu, become such a fangirl!
Chi Mu couldn’t help but bury her head in the pillow in frustration.
Having such a dream, facing him in the future would be utterly embarrassing.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
It wasn’t until her phone vibrated that she finally snapped out of it.
Chi Mu grabbed her phone and answered.
“Mumu, you need to check the backend right away. Our ‘Cloud Dream Splendid Years’ suddenly sold out! Not only are all the tickets gone, but there are also tons of people leaving comments asking for additional shows.”
The excited and enthusiastic voice of her assistant, Xia Fei, came through the phone. “Mumu, we’ve really made it.”
“Really?” Hearing this, Chi Mu sat up abruptly. “Hurry up, gather everyone, we need to have a meeting right away.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up, Chi Mu quickly freshened up and headed out with Lin Yunxin in the car.
…
Upon arriving at the theater, as soon as the two entered, the twin sisters Xia Fei and Xia Lin rushed up to them one after the other. “Mumu, great news! I heard that theater next door that always causes trouble got smashed up last night. Apparently, even its other branches in Huacheng were ordered to shut down. Probably because of that, our backend tickets sold out like crazy.”
Xia Lin explained excitedly, and Xia Fei was equally thrilled.Chi Mu nodded hesitantly, seemingly still not processing what had happened overnight. How could their frequent troublemaking competitor suddenly be gone?
“Are you talking about Tianyun Drama? That thing went bankrupt!! Wow, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long! They provoked us repeatedly, causing us so many losses and financial setbacks! This time, they totally deserved to go under!” Lin Yunxin said indignantly.
Xia Fei also nodded repeatedly in agreement: “Exactly! Because they bought black material and stirred up trouble, our troupe’s performance has been poor this past year, almost to the point of being shelved. Now we can finally hold our heads high!”
Chi Mu pursed her lips and encouraged, “Although we don’t know which hero took down this bully, from now on, our troupe is sure to get better. Let’s keep it up. After tonight’s performance, we’ll gather as a troupe to celebrate.”
“Hooray! Long live Sister Mumu!!”
“Sister Mumu, I love you to death!!”
The girls exchanged smiles.
Meanwhile, Lin Yunxin, watching Chi Mu’s radiant smile, grew even more resolute in her thoughts.
Perhaps forgetting everything was the best thing for Wanwan.
Right now, she was truly happy!
This was the first time since she had known Wanwan that she had seen her laugh so genuinely from the heart, so relaxed.
It was wonderful. A girl as good as Wanwan deserved happiness and joy.
…
A moment later.
Chi Mu organized a meeting with everyone, and they unanimously decided to add several extra performances on short notice.
As soon as the backend was updated, the tickets were snatched up again.
Even Chi Mu was shocked this time.
“This… what’s going on? ‘Cloud Dream Splendid Years’ shouldn’t be this explosively popular, how…”
She couldn’t figure it out. The ticket sales were astonishingly fast, almost gone in seconds.
It was almost comparable to the concert of the superstar Zhou Tianwang.
…
Meanwhile, inside the Duan Family Gang.
A large crowd gathered together, the atmosphere as lively as the New Year.
It had been many years since the Duan Family had such an atmosphere, especially since Duan Yanxing had just returned.
His personality had grown even more somber, and most of the time, the entire Duan Family was in a state of suppression.
Every day, aside from missions, it was endless training.
But this time, Master Duan had finally found his wife, and the entire Duan Family Gang cheered and rejoiced. Their days of hardship had finally come to an end.
“I got the tickets! Boss, pay up, pay up.”
The one saying this was Duan Yanxi, ranked fifth in the Duan Family Gang, just eighteen years old, at the age of youthful exuberance.
Duan Yanxing looked at him: “You’re joining in on the fun with them?”
“Of course, only a fool would turn down money.” Duan Yanxi said with a grin: “Besides, I also think Sister-in-law’s ‘Cloud Dream Splendid Years’ is worth looking forward to.”
After saying this, voices of those who had managed to get tickets rose and fell in the crowd.
They all went to Duan Yanxing to collect their money.
As for why the Duan Family was so lively today, it was entirely because Duan Yanxing had gathered all members of the Duan Family Gang to snatch up tickets for the Mugui Theater, saying they should buy out every single performance.
To boost everyone’s enthusiasm, Duan Yanxing had also made it clear: whoever managed to get tickets could come to him for money, and their lifelong bonuses would be multiplied tenfold.
In other words, as long as you stayed with the Duan Family, your bonuses would keep flowing.
For a time, the entire Duan Family was thrown into a frenzy.It’s important to know that the number of employees under the Duan Family is countless—even the floors of the Duan Family Gang alone are too many to count, let alone the personnel. So, those who managed to snag a spot were naturally lucky.
After this incident, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.
Master Duan, when in love, had truly and completely changed his ways.
It seemed the Duan Family Gang was about to undergo a major shift.
In the future, it would undoubtedly be Chi Mu’s domain.
They listened to Master Duan, and Master Duan listened to Madam—this was simply the epitome of a doting husband…
…
Amidst all the excitement, little Chi Yu in the corner was also holding a phone, imitating the adults as he tried to snag a ticket.
It wasn’t for the money—he wanted to see his mother.
A three-year-old like Xiao Chiyu never imagined that one day he’d have to buy a ticket just to see his own mother.
And not just buy it—he had to fight for it!!!
All of this was thanks to his own father, who only cared about his own happiness and fun.
Losing his wife meant that now he had to help him win her back. Such a father was truly too much to handle.
Sigh!
