An Yexuans stern face turned cold. His slender fingers pinched the handle of the tea cup, and he took a slow sip. He said blandly, Theres no need to fetch her back. Lets eat, everyone!

Master Meng knew that the An familys heir was talented and scheming. He was also mysterious and unpredictable, and Master Meng could not comprehend why he agreed to a meal at the Mengs. With decades of experience, Master Meng had considered himself to be adequate at reading people, but he couldnt see through An Yexuan at all. No one could decipher the latters mind.

By the time Miao Zifu arrived at the Meng family home in a woeful state, they had already finished their meal. This time, Chen Pei no longer looked at Miao Zifu as earnestly as before, but instead with a hint of derision.

Similarly, Meng Xinyan no longer acted as intimately with her as before. Their attitudes dampened Miao Zifus heart and her feelings of humiliation and unjustice intensified. Just wait, she would make these people regret this.

When she left with An Yexuan, Miao Zifu continued to be absent-minded and An Yexuan didnt ask after her. When it came to Miao Zifus presence, he neither rejected it nor attempted to get closer.

Miao Zifu walked out the doors of the Meng family home. Looking back at Su Lenghan and Meng Xinyan, her heart swelled with envy. The couple had already started to discuss their marriage, yet she didnt know when she could finally occupy a space in An Yexuans heart.

After Yun Bixue and Xie Limo returned home, she washed her hands and started to prepare the food. Recalling her grandfather, she still felt worried.

Grandfathers health is fine. Ive sent some people to guard him, and there wont be anyone disturbing his rest. Nanchen has gone over too. You can rest assured and prepare the meal. When Grandfather is awake, Ill make sure to inform you first.

Yun Bixue could finally sigh in relief. Her grandfather was in the ICU, and she could only wait outside. With the top-grade doctor, Ling Nanchen, around, she felt more at ease.

Yun Bixue put on an apron, and Xie Limo walked forward to tie a bow on her back. Yun Bixue could feel him coming closer. He was as beautiful as snow, as elegant as a flower and was simply dazzling. Her heart tensed up involuntarily.

Xie Limo looked as Yun Bixue long hair tumbled around her; it was smooth like satin yet somewhat of a hindrance. He found a hairband and lightly bundled her hair up.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped and she blanked out. It seemed as though every action could appear graceful if Xie Limo was the one doing it. His hand combed through her hair, and she recalled her feelings earlier that day when his hand glided across her skin. She blushed involuntarily and stood there awkwardly.

Limo, are you done?

Xie Limos eyes swirled darkly as he looked down at his wifes reddened earlobes. His lips curled as he said, Done.

Because of this small incident, Yun Bixue couldnt concentrate on cooking. When she cut the vegetables, a cry rang out. Shed cut her finger.

On the sofa, Xie Limo resignedly helped Yun Bixue cleanse the wound and put on a band-aid.

Looking at the silent Xie Limo, Yun Bixue felt anxious. Am I too clumsy? Shed wanted to prepare a sumptuous meal, but it ended up like this. If it werent for him, she wouldnt have been distracted.

Xie Limo nodded. Youre quite clumsy, always getting hurt. With how things had rolled out, it looked like he shouldnt count on her to prepare their meals anymore.

In the afternoon, Yun Bixue dashed to the Yun family ancestral home right after lunch. Yang Mei, you handled todays affairs very well! Yang Meis skills at operating the computer were internationally acclaimed and hacking into the supermarkets CCTV system was easy for her. It was just that she looked masculinewith sharp facial features and a neat buzz cut. In fact, Yun Bixue had mistaken her for a man the first time they met.

Miss, thats something your subordinates should be able to do, Yang Mei replied. To her, protecting Yun Bixue was a given.
