The sunset shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating Xie Wei's face—the face Mu Qingcheng had dreamt of countless times. For a moment, she was momentarily stunned.
But this was not a dream after all. Mu Qingcheng gently shook her head, putting those unrealistic thoughts out of her mind, and walked to the main seat to make tea for Xie Wei.
After taking a sip of tea, Xie Wei didn't exclaim how delicious it was, but his slight smile revealed his good mood.
