was already half past ten at night. All the shops on the street were closed, except for the Painting Appraisal Shop which was still open, apparently waiting for their arrival.Mu Xing handed the paint...Wu Guanta handed the filled bowl of rice to Mu Xing and asked, "What a pretty sister"

"I saw her this morning at the mall, a really pretty sister," Mu Xing recalled, chewing on her chopsticks. "She was outside the jewelry counter... I think her name was… Lanxuan."

Lana

Upon hearing this name, Wu Guanjia's face changed.

How did she come back

Did you invite the young master out for a meal Aren't you still thinking about him

Wu, the housekeeper, was a little worried. He wanted to try his old trick again and have Mu Xing pretend to be sick to lure the young master back. However, when he looked down, he saw Mu Xing happily eating her meal with gusto. She didn't seem to worry at all about the fact that her young master had gone out for dinner with another woman.

This child, their heart is truly big!

Wu Guanyin helplessly shook his head. It was impossible for this child to pretend to be ill. He hoped the young master could be as resolute as he was ten years ago.

- At this moment.

The Vi Western restaurant, which caters only to high-end clientele, was unusually quiet because it had been booked out for a private event.

The melodious piano music flowed gently through the spacious restaurant.

The man sat elegantly by the window, his dark-striped suit perfectly highlighting his figure. The dimly lit atmosphere, designed to create a sense of tranquility, cast a soft glow on his face, accentuating the sharp angles of his handsome features.

A pair of articulated hands held a knife and fork, delicately cutting into the steak. Every move exuded nobility.

Lan Xuan gazed at the man who had been on her mind constantly, her eyes filled with deep infatuation. Compared to ten years ago, he had completely shed his youthful naivety and exuded the charm of a mature man, making her heart flutter even more.

She took the initiative to speak: "A-Xiao, how have you been all these years"

The man sighed.

She wore a blank expression, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Lan Xuan clearly felt his distance. If she hadn't witnessed his gentleness towards that girl with her own eyes, she might not have noticed it, because this man was indifferent and aloof to everyone.

She hid her sadness and unwillingness, saying: “I called Grandma Fu in the afternoon. I told her we would have dinner at the old house the day after tomorrow. Grandma Fu said you haven’t been back for a long time, so why don't we go back together”

"Good."

Fu Lingxiao agreed.

Lan Xuan slightly raised her lips and continued, "This time I came back in such a rush that I didn't even prepare a gift for Grandma Fu. It's been ten years since I've seen Grandma Fu, and I don't even know what she likes. Since we have time tonight after dinner, could you accompany me to buy one and give me some suggestions"

"Okay."

The man still answered without hesitation.

This gave Lanxuan great comfort in her heart. He was still the same as before, always willing to help her.

After dinner.

Fu Lingxiao accompanied Lan Xuan to the nearby shopping mall.

The man was tall and straight, wearing a meticulously tailored dark pinstripe suit. He exuded nobility and dominance, his sculpted face radiating a sharp, cold demeanor.

And beside him, Lanxuan wore a light blue maxi dress before the appointment, her pretty face adorned with exquisite makeup. She was tall and slender, with an elegant temperament like orchids.

Walking together, the two of them undoubtedly formed a beautiful sight, attracting the attention of everyone around.

"Look, look! That man is so handsome!"

"Wow! Really, this looks amazing, this figure, definitely beats those little fresh meats in the entertainment industry ten streets!"

"Is that girl his girlfriend She's so pretty, they look really good together!"

"...."

Gasps arose from the crowd, and some people even pulled out their phones to take pictures of them frantically.

The man showed no intention of stopping, striding past with long legs and unwavering gaze.

Lan Xuan couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. He was usually very low-key and rarely appeared in public, yet now he was willing to stand beside her in the public eye.

And those photos, once published, would inevitably spark a wave of rumors about the new relationship. Yet, he didn't stop it, which is enough to show how special she is to him.

However, she didn't know that as soon as they walked away a short distance, Yun Tuo appeared with a group of bodyguards, surrounding the people who had just taken pictures. They very "politely" demanded that they delete the photos.

After buying gifts with Lan Xuan, Fu Lingxiao sent her back to the hotel.

The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Lan Xuan reluctantly got out of the car and stood outside, inviting Fu Lingxiao: "A Xiao, do you want to go up for a sit"

"No."

The man spoke softly, then left without another word.

Lan Xuan watched the car disappear into the dust, her eyes blazing with fervent passion.

Ten years ago, she didn't understand how much of an advantage a man's guilt could be to her. Ten years have passed, and she is no longer that naive and extreme little girl. From now on, she will definitely make good use of his guilt!

-Go back to the manor.

Fu Lingxiao strode upstairs. The little girl's bedroom door was ajar, with the light still on inside, but there wasn't a sound to be heard.

Have you fallen asleep already

He tiptoed to the door and saw the little girl sitting at her desk, holding needle and thread as she stitched something. Her beautiful profile looked very focused, not even noticing when he walked in.

As he got closer, he saw that the little girl was sewing sachets. There were already a dozen or so finished ones on her desk, and there was also a pile of fabric that had been cut out but not yet sewn. He recognized them at once; they were the same fabric he had bought at Ruan Ruqing's shop last time.

He frowned slightly. What was the little girl sewing so many sachets for

But now he dared not disturb the little girl, she was too engrossed in her work. He was afraid to scare her, so he stood a meter away and watched her quietly.

Mu Xing finished stitching three sachets and, as she sat up straight and stretched, suddenly felt like someone was behind her.

She cautiously turned her head back, and saw the man with his hands tucked into his trouser pockets. His deep-set eyes were fixed on her, a faint smile curving his thin lips. His gaze was gentle, as if bathed in moonlight.

Mu Xing instantly raised a sweet smile, "Little Uncle!"

She sprung up and bounced to the man's side, throwing her arms around his waist. "When did you get back Why didn't you call me"

A man who had been standing for over an hour replied, "Just got back."

Immediately, he raised his hand to rub the little girl's head gently, "Did you eat dinner well this evening"

Mu Xing's eyes curved into a smile, "Yes, I ate five bowls of rice! How about you, Uncle Xiao Are you full"

Fu Lingxiao raised his lips and smiled, asking her, "What are you making so many sachets for"

Mu Xingjian was discovered and gave an embarrassed giggle. “This is for the bodyguard uncles. There are herbs inside that can invigorate them. They can carry it with them, and when they feel tired, they can smell it to relieve fatigue. I also put a life-saving pill in each sachet, which can be used in a critical moment."

After the last ambush and assassination attempt, Mu Xing knew that there were hidden dangers around her little uncle. She couldn't prevent similar things from happening, so she could only use this method to give them a guarantee.it.""Who made you so annoying!"Her pretty face was full of anger.Ye Fei Bai realized Mu Xing was truly angry. He immediately retracted his playful smile and handed her the check, "Alright, I'm not kid...
