In the quiet bedroom.

Mu Cidian held her tightly in his embrace.

Xin Zaozao did not resist.

Just like that, she lay quietly in his arms.

She didn’t know how long days like these could last.

She didn’t know how long she would be entangled with Mu Cidian…

All the calmness seemed to be the tranquility before the storm.

She felt Mu Cidian’s body subtly wriggling.

His lips were imprinted on her cheek.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t push him away when he wanted to kiss her, perhaps it was because she took the initiative to kiss his lips, so at this moment, Mu Cidian pressed his lips against hers.

Xin Zaozao didn’t refuse.

She just kept accepting it.

He rolled over to her and held her down. His lips could more conveniently near hers, he could deeply kiss her.

He was holding her hand.

Their fingers interlocked.

The warmth in their hands was mutual.

His heart was pounding.

Actually, her heartbeat was accelerating as well.

She seemed to be able to feel Mu Cidian’s unusual… emotions.

She suddenly pushed him away.

After pushing him away, there was a gap between their bodies, and it seemed like a cold wind had blown in.

Mu Cidian was looking at her.

Xin Zaozao looked at him the same way.

Both of them seemed a bit breathless.

“Don’t get so close to me,” Xin Zaozao wiped her lips.

In the darkness, Mu Cidian clearly saw the disgust in Xin Zaozao’s eyes.

He said, “I’m sorry, I thought…”

“I’m going to rinse my mouth.” Xin Zaozao pushed Mu Cidian away.

She didn’t listen to his explanation at all.

Mu Cidian watched as Xin Zaozao left.

The light in the bathroom came on.

Xin Zaozao closed the bathroom door, looking at her own flushed face in the mirror, her rapid heartbeat, and heavy breathing.

Just for a second, just for a second, she thought that she and Mu Cidian seemed very much in love, only because they were so deeply in love would they kiss so intensely.

She washed her face with cold water.

In her mind flashed back to the words Song Lifei had said, “Do you still like Mu Cidian?”

No, no!

She just wanted to take revenge on him.

From the year she was eighteen and heard his conversation with his mother, the only thing she had left for this man was hatred.

Just hatred!

She would never like him again, absolutely not.

Mu Cidian was different.

She could dismiss him with money, she wouldn’t feel guilty about anything she did to him, and he could satisfy many of her physical needs, even her needs in life. She could also use this to insult him, she could also use this to make Wan Quan furious.

Just like this.

For her, the existence of Mu Cidian was just that.

“Xin Zaozao.” There was a knock at the door outside the room.

Xin Zaozao looked at herself in the mirror, her face was all wet.

She took a deep breath and wiped it with a towel.

Once she figured it out, she wouldn’t feel panic anymore.

She opened the bathroom door.

Mu Cidian was standing at the door.

Xin Zaozao looked at him, appearing very indifferent.

Just now, just a moment ago, he seemed to sense a change in Xin Zaozao’s emotions.

Was it because of her emotional fluctuations that she had become so panic-stricken?

Was Xin Zaozao afraid of something?

Mu Cidian didn’t ask her, he just said jokingly, “Did I disgust you when I kissed you just now?”

Xin Zaozao glanced at Mu Cidian.

“I’ll avoid it next time.”

Xin Zaozao calmly said, “Don’t get close to me when I don’t want you to.”

“Do you want it tonight?” Mu Cidian asked her.

“No.”

“Alright.”

Xin Zaozao returned to the bed.

Mu Cidian also returned to the bed.

The two lay together, keeping a suitable distance.

Mu Cidian asked, “Can I hold you?”

Xin Zaozao didn’t answer.

No answer means yes.

That’s how Mu Cidian understood it.

He approached Xin Zaozao and held her in his arms.

Xin Zaozao leaned against his chest.

She didn’t know when Mu Cidian had grown so much. At least when she leaned against his chest, she no longer felt uncomfortable.

“Goodnight,” Mu Cidian murmured.

Xin Zaozao responded softly, “Hmm.”

Mu Cidian held Xin Zaozao in his arms and fell into a quiet sleep.

Actually, they both slept peacefully.

Whatever position they were in before sleeping, they would still be in that position when they woke up.

So, the next morning.

When Mu Cidian opened his eyes, Xin Zaozao was still in his arms, sleeping soundly.

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Being able to see her quietly lying in his arms every time he opened his eyes might be the happiest thing he could think of in this lifetime.

Even if, such happiness might not last very long.

But he kind of wanted to fight for it…

He kept looking at Xin Zaozao, seeing how petite she looked lying in his arms.

He had never imagined before, that one day she would show such great strength.

How she could become so strong, so brave.

For a while, he really thought Xin Zaozao couldn’t hold on.

His gaze flickered as he watched Xin Zaozao frown.

He knew Xin Zaozao was about to wake up.

Indeed, Xin Zaozao was already awake.

She opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Mu Cidian.

Usually, Mu Cidian would get up early to prepare breakfast, today he didn’t oversleep but also didn’t get up.

She shifted her body, “Why aren’t you out of bed yet?”

“I don’t want to leave you.”

Xin Zaozao looked at Mu Cidian.

She suddenly regretted letting Mu Cidian be so good to her.

Mu Cidian seemed to sense Xin Zaozao’s awkwardness, he lifted the blanket, “I’ll go make breakfast.”

Xin Zaozao watched as Mu Cidian left.

She continued to lie in bed, closing her eyes, her heart seemed to be beating slightly.

She felt that Mu Cidian was different from before.

He had become much warmer than before.

She took a deep breath, feeling it was unnecessary to waste too much time on Mu Cidian.

She lifted the blanket and got up to wash.

After washing up and changing, she came out.

Mu Cidian had already prepared breakfast.

Usually, he’d make porridge, or milk, toast, but this morning he made two bowls of egg noodles.

The smell was quite inviting.

Xin Zaozao sat at the dining table.

Mu Cidian handed chopsticks to Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao accepted them.

Mu Cidian explained, “We had porridge last night, so this morning I thought we could have something different. Try it and see if you like the taste.”

Xin Zaozao picked up a noodle and took a bite.

She responded in agreement.

Mu Cidian’s cooking skills were really good.

Sometimes when she didn’t have an appetite, she would find it returned after eating his meals.

If this continued, she would probably gain weight.

But she couldn’t resist and finished the bowl of noodles.

She used a napkin to wipe her mouth, “Don’t wait for me for dinner tonight, I have a dinner engagement.”

“Okay.”

Xin Zaozao left directly.

Mu Cidian watched her retreating figure.

Xin Zaozao was still cold to him.

Mu Cidian managed a smile.

Perhaps, it was just on purpose.

After Xin Zaozao left, Mu Cidian continued with his usual routine at home.

In the afternoon.

Wan Quan called.

Mu Cidian didn’t answer.

Wan Quan sent a message, “I don’t want to quarrel with you; I just have something to say.”

Mu Cidian hesitated for a moment, then called her back.

Wan Quan’s calm voice said, “Mu Cidian, since this is the path you chose, I’ve also thought it through.”

Mu Cidian held the phone tightly; he didn’t know if his mother’s words were true.

Based on his understanding of his mother, her resentment towards Xin Zaozao would not easily dissipate.

“Have dinner with me tonight, let’s talk things through and decide how we should interact in the future.”

“Okay.” Mu Cidian immediately agreed.

Because Xin Zaozao won’t be home tonight.

“Let’s go to the Four Seasons Hotel, I want to have their crab.” said Wan Quan.

Mu Cidian hesitated.

“Why shouldn’t I use Xin Zaozao’s money? Why should I save on your behalf!” Wan Quan still seemed a little out of control.

Mu Cidian said, “Alright, I’ll make the reservation tonight.”

“No need, I’ll do it myself. Just give me the money.”

“I’ll give you 20,000 yuan first.” Mu Cidian said.

“I want 50,000.”

That would be too much for a meal.

But Mu Cidian agreed.

He transferred the money to Wan Quan.

Soon after, Wan Quan sent him the restaurant reservation.

What Mu Cidian was thinking at the moment was, no matter what Wan Quan’s motives were, as long as she could accept him being with Xin Zaozao, he thought he would agree to any conditions she set.

At 6:00 p.m.

Mu Cidian went to the luxury restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel.

Wan Quan didn’t ask him to pick her up.

When he arrived, Wan Quan was already waiting for him in a corner of the restaurant.

He walked over.

Wan Quan was ordering.

Listening to the amount of food she was ordering, Mu Cidian knew they couldn’t finish it; but in that moment, he conceded.

If she wanted to vent her feelings, let her do it.

As long as it didn’t harm Xin Zaozao, he could endure anything from her.

After ordering.

Wan Quan said, “I invited a friend to dine with us.”

“Okay.” Mu Cidian nodded, not really minding.

“She’ll be here soon.”

“Okay.”

Wan Quan glanced at Mu Cidian and didn’t say anything more.

Mu Cidian didn’t speak either.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice was heard near them, “Sorry I’m late.”

Mu Cidian looked up, seeing a woman who appeared to be the same age as his mother.

He naturally recognized her.

She was his mother’s old friend. But in terms of friendship, they were more like drinking buddies. When she was in trouble, her friend didn’t help much, and even deliberately distanced herself from her.

Her sudden appearance at this time was somewhat surprising to Mu Cidian.

He thought his mother was just trying to show off.

Apparently tonight was different.

“No problem, I’m a free woman anyway. Waiting a while is no big deal.” Wan Quan laughed, “Not like you, still looking so glamorous.”

“What are you talking about? Now your son is out of jail, right? We all know about Cidian’s capabilities, do you still worry that you can’t turn the tide? It’s just a matter of time.” The woman looked at Mu Cidian with an admiring expression, even a bit of flirtation.

“So Jenny, you’re interested in my son?” Wan Quan asked bluntly.

“How could I not be interested.” The older woman named Jenny laughed so hard her wrinkles showed, her hand with red-painted nails reached for Mu Cidian’s hand, “So handsome, so stylish, which woman wouldn’t be interested?”

Mu Cidian frowned slightly and pulled his hand away.

Jenny felt a little awkward, she drew her hand back and her tone was not very pleasant, “Wan Quan, it seems like your son doesn’t want to. Did you explain it to him? At my age, I don’t have the energy to play games of desire.”

“Cidian is just a little shy in public …” Wan Quan hadn’t finished speaking.

Mu Cidian stood up, preparing to leave.

“Mu Cidian!” Wan Quan stood up abruptly, grabbing hold of him.

Mu Cidian glared at Wan Quan.

“What’s the difference between her and Xin Zaozao! Why does it have to be Xin Zaozao!”
