Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

Mu Xiaoxiao's mood wasn't good today. She went to take a walk downstairs.

When she came back, she chanced upon Lu Yichen sitting on the bench with his head down, looking downcast.

She couldn't help but feel worried. Could it be that there was something wrong in Mama Lu's health report?

Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to him slowly. She sat beside him, in no hurry to talk.

Lu Yichen noticed someone beside him and lifted his head to look. His gaze met Mu Xiaoxiao's coincidentally.

Mu Xiaoxiao's was shocked when she noticed his red-rimmed eyes.

Had he been crying?

"Is Auntie... okay?" she asked worriedly.

Lu Yichen sighed deeply. "The doctor said that she was overworked, and with all the latent damage, she needs an even more thorough checkup."

The tone that the doctor had used hinted that his mom's situation wasn't really good.

Lu Yichen didn't say this out loud, however. There were some burdens he would carry alone.

Mu Xiaoxiao patted his shoulders and looked at him resolutely. "Auntie will be fine, she really will be!"

Lu Yichen stared deeply into her eyes. Her dark eyes were the color of black grapes, and they sparkled as though they were resplendent with stars, looking clear and dazzling... They gave him a sense of security.

He stared at her as though he couldn't look away. His magnetic voice whispered, "Xiaoxiao, may I hug you for a while?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. "Sure."

Lu Yichen's arms wrapped around her just as the word fell from her lips, holding her in his embrace.

The warmth and fragrance of her body slowly calmed his restless heart.

In the distance, with her hands full of shopping bags, Han Qiqing gazed at this scene with slightly gloomy eyes.

Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to flash past her.

Han Qiqing exclaimed, "Yin Shaojie?"

Before she could finish her words, a fuming Yin Shaojie had already whizzed past and snatched Mu Xiaoxiao away from Lu Yichen's embrace before raising a fist to hit him.

"Hey — !" Mu Xiaoxiao shouted in alarm and quickly blocked his attack.

"Let go!" The words seemed to be spat from between Yin Shaojie's gritted teeth.

Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him in displeasure. "Are you crazy!"

"Am I crazy?" Yin Shaojie laughed coldly. "If I am not mad when I see another man hugging my wife, then I'm not a man anymore!"

"What nonsense are you sprouting? You don't even know what's going on!"

Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still angry at him, was even more furious now.

Seeing the pair argue, Han Qiqing hurried over and said to Yin Shaojie, "Can't you understand the situation before resorting to your fists?"

Mu Xiaoxiao contained her anger at him and looked at Lu Yichen. "You should go up and see Auntie. I'll explain things to him here," she said gently.

Lu Yichen looked at Yin Shaojie. Knowing that the situation was bound to be messy, he listened to her and left first.

Once Lu Yichen had left, Mu Xiaoxiao shook Yin Shaojie's hand off.

Yin Shaojie frowned at her action. What was this wretch trying to do?

Shouldn't he be the angry one?

However, her face was cold as though he was the one who had angered her instead.

"Explain to me right now why you were hugging that fellow!" Yin Shaojie glared at her as he began his interrogation.

Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him in fury. "Did I say that I would explain anything to you? I can't be bothered with you!"

She turned and left.
