Wen Xin stretched in Mu Chengxi’s arms and turned on the bedside lamp. She gently pushed away the man holding her.

“Hey, let’s go send off Grandma for the last time…”

Mu Chengxi nuzzled against Wen Xin’s shoulder and murmured an agreement. Then, he kissed her neck before getting up.

After getting out of bed, Wen Xin touched the spot on her neck where Mu Chengxi had kissed her. She squinted her dark eyes. She knew exactly what was on his mind. Despite her condition, he was still jealously nibbling. She found it ridiculous.

Wen Xin was shocked by the scene when they arrived at the funeral home. She had some memory of the people who had taken away her grandfather. She looked at Mu Chengxi, remembering he had asked Gu Yanzhe to handle the matter. But she hadn’t expected such a grand ceremony.

“Master Xi, Miss Mu…” Gu Yanzhe, standing at the back of the crowd, came forward to greet them.

“The Su family is quite peculiar. Only their family members can enter the ancestral grave. After discussing, it was decided that the old madam’s eldest son and daughter would escort her into the ancestral grave. No one else can follow.”

Gu Yanzhe explained the next steps to Wen Xin, concerned she might not take it well.

“Did you talk to Tan Xingyue?” Wen Xin didn’t mind not going, but she was worried about how Tan Xingyue would take it.

“Yes, I did. Tan Xingyue agreed.”

Gu Yanzhe had told Tan Xingyue after returning from Clear Spring Town. At first, she struggled to accept it. She came to terms with it only after Liang Luoyu consoled her, though still somewhat reluctantly.

“As long as she can accept it, that’s good. What kind of family is the Su family, so mysterious?” Wen Xin whispered this last question.

“I’ll explain to Miss Wen later.”

On his way back, Gu Yanzhe had come to understand the nature of the Su family. Despite his experiences, this was the first time he’d encountered such a strange family.

Wen Xin nodded silently and followed everyone in a bow together to send off her grandmother for the last time.

After the ceremony, Wen Xin took Tan Xingyue back to the car. There was nothing left for them to do there. She took Tan Xingyue back to the sanatorium for a check-up by Nan Xu.

Under the pretense of worrying about Tan Xingyue, Chu Mufeng joined Chu Yunxuan in her car back to the sanatorium.

“Big star, are you really that free? I heard you have a performance at the New Year’s Eve party. Don’t you need to go back for rehearsals?”

Chu Yunxuan, lounging in the back seat, glanced at Chu Mufeng beside her. He seemed completely at ease, not treating himself as an outsider.

“I’m not in the right mind to participate in the New Year’s Eve party. I’m a bit worried about Xingyue, so I decided to come and check on her.”

Listening to Chu Mufeng’s grand explanation, Chu Yunxuan pulled out her phone, pulled up Mu Chengxi’s information, and placed it in front of Chu Mufeng.

“Big star, not to burst your bubble, but if you’re thinking of making a move, I don’t think you stand a chance. Even without Mu Chengxi in the picture, it wouldn’t be possible between you two,” she said, raising her eyebrows at Chu Mufeng.

“You should know her well enough. She dislikes complications, and your status would be the biggest barrier between you. So, it’s better to let go.”

Chu Yunxuan could tell from the way Chu Mufeng looked at Wen Xin that he was one of the many who liked her. Aside from Mu Chengxi, he was most straightforward about his feelings.

She reminded him like this, genuinely hoping he wouldn’t get hurt by his delusions.

Caught by Chu Yunxuan, Chu Mufeng smiled bitterly, “I really missed my chance. I thought I’d wait until she was a bit older, but it turns out I was the one who lost her.”

Chu Yunxuan was momentarily puzzled by Chu Mufeng’s melodramatic demeanor, frowning slightly before sighing with a mix of frustration and resignation.

“Your way of thinking is quite unique, difficult to follow.”

Since it was hard to make him understand, Chu Yunxuan felt a kind reminder was unnecessary. She was extremely tired, having not slept for two nights. She closed her eyes and rested in the back seat.

Back at the sanatorium, after everyone had rested well into the afternoon, Wen Xin emerged from the lab in the backyard, handing a white pill bottle to Chu Yunxuan, who was lounging lazily on the sofa.

“What’s this?” Gu Yanzhe noticed the pill bottle in Chu Yunxuan’s hand, curious.

“Life-extending stuff. Not something ordinary people need!”

Saying this, Chu Yunxuan swallowed a few pills from the bottle and drank some warm water handed over by Wen Xin.

“Wen Xin, I’m quite free lately, just in charge of Grandpa Ling’s health. Let Xingyue stay with me. After her condition improves and the New Year’s over, I’ll take her back to school.”

Nan Xu had noticed Tan Xingyue’s psychological state wasn’t great. With Wen Xin being busy, she might overlook things, so it would be better for Nan Xu to take care of Tan Xingyue.

“That works. You guys can stay in our building upstairs. Mu Chengxi had it bought for us. You can take Huahua and keep Tan Xingyue company for a few days.”

Wen Xin had planned to take Tan Xingyue back to the Wen family mansion for a few quiet days, where the butler and aunt could look after them. Since Nan Xu volunteered, she thought it was a good idea.

“Shall we return to Beijing tomorrow?”

“Yes, we’ll head back to Beijing tomorrow.” Wen Xin took off her down jacket and casually tied her hair into a bun, revealing a conspicuous hickey on her neck in front of everyone.

Everyone noticed the mark, but no one joked about it. Only Chu Mufeng, after a glance, lowered his head to his phone, acting unnaturally.

“Mufeng, if you have work, you can go back first. I’ve already talked to my aunt about Xingyue. She doesn’t need to worry. She can focus on her own stuff.”

Wen Xin’s tone was light as she addressed the visibly uncomfortable Chu

Mufeng, wanting him to understand that there was no chance between them.

“Alright, I’ll also return to Beijing tomorrow. I’ll stay here for the night.”

Chu Mufeng kept his head down, unable to look at Wen Xin. Seeing her made his heart ache inexplicably, and he was uncertain how to process these feelings..
