"Why let her see?"

Mo Chuxi replied with a rhetorical question, suddenly turning to grasp Yan Xinxin’s shoulders, his eyes full of pain.

"Xinxin, they hurt you so much, bullied you, and even with so many signs, they denied you as Mu Qianyuan. Such a mother isn’t worth your longing, nor does she deserve your forgiveness."

Yan Xinxin looked at Mo Chuxi and nodded gently.

"Xi, you’re right, I know you’re doing what’s best for me. I don’t have any longing, nor do I want to reconcile with them. I just don’t want to see them being toyed with by Mu Qianshui any longer."

"Although there’s no evidence yet, I think that person impersonating you is that bitch."

Mo Chuxi furrowed his brows slightly.

"I didn’t expect that bitch to have such a tough life. It seems I need to personally make a hole in her head, or she’ll always have the chance to come back to life."

"Mo Chuxi."

Hearing this, Yan Xinxin couldn’t help but feel a jolt of fear.

Mo Chuxi curled his lips into a smile.

"Baby, don’t be afraid. I’ll never let you see such a bloody scene."

"But I also don’t want Xi’s hands stained with someone else’s blood, especially Mu Qianshui’s, which would surely be black and would taint Xi’s hands."

Yan Xinxin raised her beautiful big eyes, speaking very earnestly.

Mo Chuxi pressed his lips into a slight smile and pinched Yan Xinxin’s nose.

"Silly."

"I’m not silly, or how else would Young Master Mo marry me?"

"Then maybe it was me who was silly."

Mo Chuxi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"It was because I was silly that I fell in love with you, this silly girl."

He said, embracing her shoulders once more, his lips intimately by her ear, whispering softly.

"Xinxin, are we going to grow old together?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xinxin shook her head.

"No."

Hearing her response, Mo Chuxi was taken aback, nervously lowering his gaze to look at her, only to see Yan Xinxin flash a mischievous smile.

"Because when the time comes, I’ll dye your hair."

"..."

Mo Chuxi was momentarily stunned, then laughed.

"Is it good to tease your husband like this? Aren’t you afraid I might just eat you up?"

"If you still want to eat me now, then you really are a wolf in..."

"Hmm?"

"Sheep’s..."

"Hmm?"

"Cloth...mm!"

The last word Yan Xinxin wanted to say trailed off, leaving only the sweet taste on her lips...

The grand Mu family residence.

Ning Zitong was out of the hospital. Her complexion had recovered a lot. She still had that noble and elegant face, but there seemed to be a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Mom, you definitely haven’t rested well. You need to rest for a while before you’ll be fully recovered."

The girl walked beside Ning Zitong, holding her arm as they went upstairs to return to their room.

Ning Zitong nodded and smiled slightly.

"Yuan, as long as I have you by my side, everything is fine."

"If Yuan had known how much mom missed her, she wouldn’t have left so willfully."

The girl reproached herself, letting out a light sigh.

"Actually, this is where I truly belong. Even if I no longer have Brother Xi, I still have you all."

Ning Zitong listened to these words and nodded gently.

As they passed by Mu Qianyuan’s former bedroom, Ning Zitong slowed her steps slightly.

"Yuan, suddenly I have a craving for the longan egg custard you make. Can you make it for me?"

"Of course!"

The girl agreed with a smile.

"Mom, you go back to the room first; Yuan will be back soon."

"Okay."

Ning Zitong smiled and nodded, watching the girl’s retreating figure, her smile faded weakly from her face.

She turned around, looking at the closed door, and finally raised her hand to push it open...
