The old couple quickly finished their breakfast and returned to the old residence. Of course, the two of them looked very happy too. They wondered if Ah Mo and Lingshi were going to bring good news soon.

They even wondered if the good news would come around by next spring.

The cold wind blew at the entrance of Maple Residence. Sis Wang looked at the car that moved further away in a daze as she could not help but sigh lightly. “Missus, Elder Chairman Mu and Elder Madam are really a pair of goofy ones. Earlier, they were still upset, and now they just left hand-in-hand. I think this is what you call husband and wife.”

“The kind of love that Grandfather and Grandmother share is the kind the previous generation has. Sometimes, I think that their love is a little simpler. I think they understand what it means to be there through thick and thin.”

Just like Grandpa Shen Yue and her Grandma Fu Hua.

“Missus, you and Master are like this too. The two of you will definitely be loving until a ripe old age, and be happy forever.”

Sis Wang turned and looked at Xi Xiaye, her face brimming with a smile. “Before this, I always thought that Master was a very cold and hostile person. After that, I realized that he’s actually a very calm person. Missus, you can’t go wrong with Master.”

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye smiled calmly. As she looked at the car that vanished in front, she responded after a long while, “Everyone wants to be happy forever, but happiness is like skating on thin ice. Many things still require us to work hard and guard them.”

She left this sentence floating in the cold wind before she turned to walk into Maple Residence.

Sis Wang looked away with a sigh, and went in after her.

After the cold rain stopped, it seemed as if the entire City Z had calmed down too. Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi flew to France that day itself while Qi Lei rushed abroad for work. Xi Xiaye stayed in Maple Residence and barely went out. Apart from asking Ji Zitong to return to the Shen residence twice, she stayed at home.

On Hospital T’s end, Xi Xiaye called Su Nan. She found out that Ruan Heng’s condition was stable for now, but he had not regained consciousness. There would still be lots of examinations in the upcoming week. Xi Xiaye knew that they were all people that Mu Yuchen had specially invited to check on Ruan Heng.

The entire City Z was becoming colder and colder. After New Year’s Day, they would be at the end of the year.

Mu Yuchen went out early and returned late. He was very busy with work, but when Xi Xiaye went to the hospital for checkups, he would personally accompany her such as he did today. It was a Saturday, and there were many people, so it was a lucky thing they had made an appointment.

After the checkup was done, the husband and wife went to visit Ruan Heng too. He was still in the Intensive Care Unit. Su Nan who guarded the ward outside had become thin very quickly. She was even more fragile than before she got married. However, by the looks of it, her emotions seemed quite stable, and she was not as distracted as before.

On the bench in the corridor, Xi Xiaye looked sadly at Su Nan who was gaunt. “Before this, you were still worried that you wouldn’t be able to lose weight, but look at you now. You’re so thin I can see your ribs. If Ruan Heng wakes up, his heart would ache to see you like this. He’d even complain about what a bad friend I have been.”

Su Nan just smiled feebly. “I can still gain weight after this. As long as that bastard Ruan Heng wakes up, I don’t mind how thin I get. You, though, you’ve gone through a lot with me. Lucky thing Master Mu’s back to watch over you. I think you look much better now.”

“I’ve been eating well and sleeping well recently, so I feel much better in spirit. Right, how’s Xiao Chenxi doing? When I went back to the Shen residence a few days ago, I went around the maternity store and bought Xiao Xi some clothes and toys. They’re still at my place. I’ll get Zitong to send them to you at night.”

“Alright, don’t worry about these things. Worry about yourself. Xiao Xi still has her grandpa, grandma, grandfather, and grandmother to take care of her, so she’s alright. I’ve been coming over to see Ruan Heng, so I haven’t had much time to watch Xiao Xi. Thankfully, Ruan Heng’s mother and my mother are around. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Su Nan sighed a little helplessly. “Right now, I’m just hoping that Ruan Heng will wake up sooner. It’s been tough for me to hold on alone. Before this, there would be him to depend on for everything. Seeing him down like this makes me feel like I’m stuck in a terribly difficult situation. Okay, forget it. Let’s not talk about these things. Right, Xiaye, when I accompanied Ruan Heng for a checkup yesterday, I saw Xi Xinyi again. She seems to have been hospitalized recently, and she looked quite gloomy. I asked the doctor and found out that she was sent to the hospital because of heavy drinking that caused her stomach to bleed. What’s up? I heard that something happened on Han Yifeng’s end.”

Su Nan had only heard some rumors. Since she was in confinement for a while before this, and then Ruan Heng’s incident happened, she naturally did not pay attention to all this.

When she mentioned it, Xi Xiaye subconsciously frowned and shot Su Nan a puzzled look before replying calmly, “Han Yifeng left City Z for San Francisco. In fact, he brought Xi Xinyi’s son too. He’s thinking of starting over there.”

“So, this Xi Xinyi did not leave with him and stayed back in City Z? I heard that she’s been managing Yueying well. Hasn’t the box office sales for a recently released blockbuster been doing well? How could she be willing to give up on everything here and leave with Han Yifeng? No wonder she looked quite dispirited. She seemed a little sad and dazed.”

The scene from before suddenly flashed in Su Nan’s mind. Now, all that remained were sighs. “However, this time, you can actually see that Han Yifeng has completely given up on Xi Xinyi. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so determinedly. He even brought the child with him. I think back then, they were really close. Even though I don’t like the two of them, their current situation should give us some kind of warning. Xi Xinyi hasn’t looked for you for trouble recently, has she?”

Xi Xiaye shook her head. “She’s been behaving for a while now.”

Su Nan nodded. “That’s good then. I hope that we can walk out from all these haziness in the past. The Xi family’s gone, and so have your grandfather and Deng Wenwen. And Yue Lingsi... You’ve gone through many storms. You learn you can never straighten everything out, so you only wish for some peace!”

After she said this, she sighed deeply. “After Ruan Heng got into the accident, I’ve given it a lot of thought. The more I feel like there are too many things spiraling out of our control, I don’t wish for riches, only peace and harmony for my family.”

Xi Xiaye nodded and gladly agreed, “Ruan Heng will definitely wake up. Don’t worry about it too much. You speak so much to him every day, and he loves you deeply. He won’t just leave you behind like that.”
