The next day, when Suiyi woke up, she felt around in bed and found herself alone. She frowned. "Why is the man up so early today?"

After getting ready and leaving the room, I found everyone in the lobby fully prepared and ready to go!

"Liyun, come here quickly, we're just waiting for you!"

Are you leaving?

"Right? It's better to get a feel for the situation sooner rather than later, so we can be prepared."

"Come and eat!"

Qi Muzhi called her over and opened the food he had prepared for her.

Have you all eaten?

"Yes! We ate them all." Fourth Sister-in-law nodded.

Sui Yi frowned. Why did everyone seem so strange today? Why were they eating without waiting for her? It wasn't that she was narcissistic, but this had never happened before.

While eating, Suiyi observed the expressions of the others, feeling that something was off, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out.

Sui Yi suppressed the heavy burden in her heart and ate with her head down. If these people were hiding something from her, asking would be pointless.

"We're done eating, let's go!" Qi Muzhi took out a wet wipe to clean Sui Yi's lips, then pulled her to her feet.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?" Suiyi asked softly as she walked ahead.

"Don't overthink it. It's just that Third Brother and his wife had a fight this morning. Didn't you notice that Third Sister-in-law's eyes were red?"

Qi Muzhi's gentle and soft explanation.

"Really? It looks like my sister-in-law's eyes have been filled with tears. Did my brother and she have a fight too?"

#Does this man think I'm an idiot?# Sui Yi clearly didn't believe him, looking at the man with a suspicious gaze. She wasn't that easily fooled.

"Well... I don't know. You women are good at communicating. Why don't you go ask her? Maybe your sister-in-law will tell you the reason."

Qi Muzhi stopped and looked at her helplessly.

"There are some things I choose not to ask because I love and trust you, but I am no different from other women. What I dislike most is being deceived. I hope that if you have something to say, you can be honest with me."

Sui Yi spoke with exceptional seriousness and earnestness.

"I..." The man was speechless after hearing his lover's words. He was conflicted and torn. If he told her about his situation, she would definitely do something he didn't want to see, but if he chose to keep it a secret, he figured he wouldn't be happy either if she found out.

After much thought, since I've already chosen to keep it a secret, I'll remain silent for the rest of my life.

"Silly girl, you know I love you more than myself. Everything I do is for you. If one day I do something that makes you unhappy, please don't blame me, okay?"

"Ha! So you're indirectly admitting that you're hiding something from me, right? Fine, you're willing to sacrifice something for me, but I might not accept your so-called good intentions. We're equals; you can sacrifice yourself for me, so I'm equally willing to fall into eternal damnation for you."

Suiyi looked into the man's eyes and solemnly announced her decision to him.

“You…” Qi Muzhi took a deep breath, at a loss for what to do. This was exactly what he feared most.

"I think we should both calm down. Even if we're sacrificing for someone, we have to see if it's worth it." Qi Muzhi was very agitated, pressing his hands on her shoulders as he spoke coldly.

"We each have our own criteria for judgment. If I think it's worth it, then it's worth it."

"But I don't think it's worth it."

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who made the decision, just like you are now, you're the one who decided to keep things from me."

Suiyi was equally determined not to back down in terms of momentum. Everyone has a scale in their heart to weigh right and wrong, worth and worthlessness in this world.

"Hey~ hey~ hey, why are you arguing like this?" Fourth Brother had just finished packing his things and came out when he saw the two of them at each other's throats, so he quickly came over to break the deadlock.

"It's alright, let's go!" Qi Muzhi took a deep breath, looked intently at Sui Yi, then at the fourth brother, shook his head, and turned to walk away. For a moment, his back seemed to exude loneliness and indifference.

#I can't believe it! This couple, who are as sweet as honey, actually argue?#

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Completely baffled, he looked at Suiyi in confusion.

"It's nothing, Fourth Brother, you're too kind."

Sui Yi smiled, seemingly unaffected by the situation, and ran after him.

Once in the car, Sui Yi and Qi Muzhi remained silent the entire way.

After getting out of the car, the group headed towards the entrance of the venue.

"Hello sirs, please show your pass."

After showing their passes to the gatekeeper, the group was able to enter without any problems.

The area was bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of conversation were constant.

"By the way, I came here to see that energy ring, but it doesn't seem to be at the exhibition."

"What do you know? Although the items at the exhibition are also auction items, who would openly display truly valuable things?"

"Oh! You've come here because you've heard so much about it?"

"That's right. I'd like to see such priceless treasures, or at least broaden my horizons."

"Um!"

Sui Yi had a keen ear; most of the topics of conversation revolved around the Youluo Ring. She also guessed that the vast majority of these well-dressed, upper-class celebrities were there for the ring.

"Sister-in-law, are you just going to sit here like this and not go and look at the auction items?"

"No, Third Sister-in-law, you go ahead. If you see anything you like, write down the number, and I'll take a picture for you," Sui Yi said with a smile, shaking her head.

"Then let's go."

Sui Yi nodded, watching them leave. Her eyes were vacant, her thoughts a jumble of emotions, as she thought about her relationship with Qi Muzhi, a complicated and unresolved matter.

He loves himself, so he can't bear to see himself suffer. He only wants himself to be happy forever, and he's willing to give up everything for himself. He feels the same way about himself, so why can't he accept it? Put yourself in his shoes; no one wants to see another suffer.

Suddenly, I remembered a song that used to be my favorite, "Love Like a Shooting Star".

Suiyi hummed the tune without even realizing it.

If loss is painful, are you still afraid to give? If falling is painful, do you still want happiness? If confusion is painful, should you begin or end? If pursuit is painful, is this strength or stubbornness? If separation is painful, to whom can you tell your pain? If promises are painful, should you reveal your true feelings? If infatuation is painful, is love inherently wrong? If loving each other is painful, where is true love in this world? Many things only become clear later, yet I can no longer find my way back. Many things didn't feel painful at the time, and even if they were, I don't think I would care.

These lyrics... Sui Yi sneers, do all lovers in the world fear giving and suffering? Isn't there a saying that's often said like this?

"As long as the feelings are there, I'm not afraid of eating pickled cabbage."

When two people are together, they should be of one mind. No matter how big the difficulties are, it's always better for two people to shoulder them than for one person to do it alone.

He rubbed his face and sighed. Talking about relationships is really exhausting!

Since he won't tell us, we can just investigate ourselves.
