"Are you awake?" At that moment, Mu Shaosi pushed open the door to the lounge and saw Xinran standing dazed in front of the sofa, so he asked.
"Yes, I've been awake for a while!" Xinran turned around, looked at Mu Shaosi, and nodded.
"Put on your clothes; we're going to eat!" Mu Shaosi approached Xinran, holding a very elegant and noble evening gown.
"Can I really go out confidently like this? Even if I'm not afraid, I shouldn't drag you down with me," Xinran said, gripping the thin blanket with a hint of indifference in her eyes.
"So, you already know?" Mu Shaosi asked without surprise. He had just received a call from Shou, learning about the latest developments. Shou had also identified who the mastermind was and was just waiting for his command to ensure they could never harm his woman again.
He had suspected it would be them but couldn't be certain since they had lived with Xinran and were considered family. However, it turned out that these despicable women had no heart; how could he expect them to treat Xinran, an unwelcome family member, kindly when they could even harm their own husbands?
Women like them would only have one path in his Cherry Blossom Hall: a path to self-destruction. Any crime they committed would lead them to end up dead in the streets because they had provoked the Future Lady of Cherry Blossom Hall!
"Believe me, I knew before you did. This morning, when I was surrounded by paparazzi, I already knew it was them!" Xinran said with a cold smile. "I understand them so well; they won't easily let me go. They won't stop until they've pushed me to my limits. I don't know if I can still navigate the entertainment industry after what they've done to me..."
"Summer, relax. With me here, you won't be in any danger. I won't let anything happen to you!" Mu Shaosi casually tossed the evening gown onto the bed and strode toward Xinran, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
"Thank you for being so good to me. Actually, I'm quite forgetful; it won't be long before I forget that you once hurt me and only remember your kindness. Isn't that foolish of me? It's not just you; I'm like this with everyone. That's why I've tolerated Xia Wenyiyi and the others, even though they've bullied me since childhood..." Xinran's voice was muffled as she spoke sadly.
"Summer, you are my wife. I command you to only remember my kindness. Do you hear me?" Mu Shaosi frowned and lifted Xinran's chin with one hand, pretending to be fierce as he spoke.
He only learned today from Xinran that his wife had been bullied by those women all along. Since that was the case, how could he let them off? Now, even a light punishment was out of the question!
"This time, I don't care about my career anymore. If I can't stand in the entertainment industry again, then I'll just withdraw. I only ask you not to let the paparazzi hurt my deceased mother and my ailing father anymore, okay? I'm begging you!" Xinran held Mu Shaosi's hand; it was the first time she had taken the initiative to plead with him like this.
"Trust me, my wife. Not only will I silence all the paparazzi, but I will also ensure that Xia Wenyiyi and the others meet a bad end. I will make sure you firmly stand at the top of the entertainment industry. Whatever you want, I can do it for you, as long as you are by my side. Do you hear me?" Mu Shaosi lifted Xinran's delicate hand and kissed it gently.
"Mm!" Xinran nodded and fell into Mu Shaosi's embrace. At that moment, she no longer thought about any schemes or contracts; she just wanted to follow her heart. She had been restraining herself from being taken away by him again, but this man was so extraordinary—how could she possibly hold back?
As for what would happen next, there would naturally be results. How she and Mu Shaosi would move forward in the future would be arranged by Heaven; there was no need for her to worry. She just needed to capture his heart during the time she could hold on to him. At least even if she couldn't keep it, she would have tried her best and wouldn't regret it in the future!
