Yin Shaojie walked out. âI donât want to talk to you anymore.â
âHey! We only drank two glasses. Letâs continue!â Nimo wanted to stop him, but Yin Shaojie was too fast.
âIâm going to find my wife. I donât feel safe leaving her alone.â
âHoes before bros?â
âWhy do you care? Why donât you go find a wife and then weâll see what youâd doâ
âI wish. Why donât you ask your wife if she has any sisters in her family that she can introduce to me?â
Yin Shaojie was walking out of the wine cellar when he suddenly stopped.
Turning around, he put his finger on his lips and said to Nimo, âTell no one about my wife, you got it?â
The news was too shocking that he was still trying to digest it.
Although he knew that Nimo wasnât one who would leak information, news about the Mu family was very likely to be true and the fact that it was true made it hard for Yin Shaojie to digest it.
He suddenly wondered if his parents knew this about the Mu family?
Perhaps not.
If his parents knew about them, they would have told him.
Now that he thought about it, it was no wonder that the Mu family was called the legendary Mu family. They were low-key and mysterious and had power that no one could properly gauge. Even the Big Four Families couldnât properly grasp them.
Yin Shaojie could understand now why the elders spoke of the Mu family in a different tone.
He was quite curious to know how the elders would react if they were to know the truth about the Mu family.
But he also knew that Xiaoxiaoâs background was not something that he could casually talk about.
The old and mysterious Muirs familyâ¦
Yin Shaojie walked out of the wine cellar. Staring at the night sky through the French window, he took a deep breath.

In the bedroom.
Annie looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was very beautiful.
She knew that Chris would never let her down in this aspect. He would surprise her from time to time.
But this time, Annie realized that she was not happy at all.
She looked really beautiful in the mirror.
Her hair was drawn up in two locks falling down by her temples. It framed her dainty face well and she looked very refined.
While Annie was lost in her thoughts, looking at the mirror, someone knocked at the door behind her.
âCome in,â she said tepidly, thinking it was a helper who had came to serve dinner.
Ka chaââ
The door opened and a tall figure came up behind her, his elegant face appeareding in the mirror.
Annie was unaware. She was looking at the mirror, but her eyes were unfocused.
âAre you thinking about me?â Suddenly a hoarse voice said by her ear.
Annie hadnât regained her senses yet, but his words stirred her heart.
âWhy is it youâ¦â
She looked up abruptly and met Ye Sijueâs gaze in the mirror.
Seeing his pale face, sadness flitted across her eyes.
âAre you awake? Are you feeling⦠any better?â she asked, not realizing that her tone was very gentle.
Her hands on her lap clenched nervously.
âNo,â Ye Sijue said.
Annie was stunned for a moment. It were as if she understood the implied meaning when she looked into his eyes.
He wasnât referring to his body being unwell, but rather his heartâ¦
