Night fell quietly, and all was silent.
In the room that Sister Wang had carefully prepared for the three women, the three women each did their own thing and did not communicate much with each other.
Chu Yaqin gently removed the face mask from her face, her delicate skin shimmering slightly under the light.
She stretched and was about to go to bed comfortably when suddenly, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the tranquility.
Chu Yaqin picked up her phone, and a number familiar to her father appeared on the screen.
She smiled and pressed the answer button, saying softly, "Hello, Dad? Why are you calling so late?"
The father's concerned and warm voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "My dear daughter, have you missed your father?"
"Of course I miss you, Dad! How have you been lately?" The father and daughter chatted about everyday things back and forth.
Then, Mu Xiaoxi's phone rang, not to be outdone.
After the call connected, Mu Lixiong's somewhat rambling greeting came through to her ears: "Xiaoxi, how are you doing? Have you found Mu Liuyun yet?"
Since Mu Lixiong and Chu Tianxing were together, their topics were similar, which still created a warm atmosphere in the room.
At this moment, Shen Lanxin, sitting to the side, quietly watched Mu Xiaoxi and Chu Yaqin's happy expressions as they talked on the phone with their respective fathers, a complex emotion in her eyes.
Just then, her phone suddenly vibrated. She looked down and, as expected, it was Shen Lihong calling.
Shen Lanxin took a deep breath, slowly pressed the answer button, and said softly, "Hello."
Zhang Chunfang's urgent and reproachful voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Shen Lanxin! I told you to go and bring Xiao Nan out, why are you still dawdling!"
The sudden question made Shen Lanxin frown. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Shen Lihong's voice on the phone.
"Ah~~ Chunfang, woof woof..."
This commotion completely shattered any thought Shen Lanxin had of responding.
Her face was ashen, her knuckles white from gripping her phone so tightly, her heart filled with endless disgust. "I'm already considering leaving the Shen family. Goodbye."
Before she finished speaking, she pressed the hang-up button without hesitation, as if she were eager to get rid of some terrible nightmare.
As the dial tone came through the phone, Shen Lanxin slowly put down her phone, gazing blankly into the distance.
When she came to her senses, she found Mu Xiaoxi and Chu Yaqin looking at her with pity.
Chu Yaqin, in particular, came to Shen Lanxin's side, patted Shen Lanxin's shoulder, and said softly, "President Shen, the doors of the Chu family will always be open for you."
...
...
"Mmm~~ Ahhhhhh~~"
Accompanied by a lazy groan, the first rays of morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and into a corner of the room.
Mu Liuyun slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his arms, and relaxed his body as if to shake off the fatigue of the night. Then, he slowly got out of the warm bed and casually put on his thick cotton-padded coat.
Mu Liuyun walked to the mirror in a daze, blinked her still sleepy eyes, and looked at herself in the mirror.
His long, glossy black hair had already reached down to his shoulders, and even exceeded the length of his shoulders.
At this moment, although his hair was slightly messy, like a bird's nest that had just been woken up, it did not affect his overall beauty at all. On the contrary, it added a touch of cuteness and playfulness to his appearance.
"Yeah, I'm so cute!"
Looking at herself in the mirror, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Since learning that he was not abandoned by his family, he no longer felt the same resistance and aversion towards his girlish face.
On the contrary, looking at this face now, I feel a sense of familiarity.
Looking back on my past thoughts, I was actually convinced that it was because of my face that I was abandoned by my family.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but grin, revealing a bright smile.
"Xiaoyun, are you up yet?"
A soft knock came from the door, followed by Sister Wang's voice calling from outside.
Inside the room, Mu Liuyun rubbed her sleepy eyes and called out loudly, "Get up, Sister Wang!"
As he responded, he changed his clothes in front of the mirror, slipped on his slippers, and quickly walked towards the door.
"Dinner's ready!"
Sister Wang's voice rang out again, with a faint smile on her face.
"Okay, I'll be right there when I'm all packed."
After answering loudly, Mu Liuyun turned around and walked to the mirror, looking at her slightly tired but still beautiful face in the mirror.
Then, he casually reached for a black hair tie on the table and tied his hair up in a neat ponytail.
In fact, Mu Liuyun has always been fond of the ponytail hairstyle, which is her personal preference.
As for the specific reasons, let's not go into them!
That's why, when he first saw Chu Yaqin working in the office with her hair in a ponytail, this high-quality single man couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart and couldn't help but be moved by her.
Mu Liuyun kept replaying Chu Yaqin's image in her mind that day, how focused she was on her work. Unconsciously, she felt her cheeks getting slightly warm, and her heart seemed to be beating faster than usual.
He reached out somewhat flusteredly and gently patted his cheeks a few times, trying to calm himself down.
Then, he shook his head and walked out of the room.
"Hmm? Is everyone still asleep?"
When Mu Liuyun arrived at the dining table in the main house, she saw only Sister Wang busily setting out the bowls and chopsticks, while Father Wang sat leisurely on the sofa watching TV.
What about the others? Where did they all go?
Perhaps because so much happened yesterday, everyone is exhausted, so it's only natural that they want to sleep in a little longer today.
As Mu Liuyun thought this, she smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding.
Just then, Sister Wang, who was setting out the bowls and chopsticks, suddenly looked up and immediately saw Mu Liuyun standing at the door.
She immediately smiled warmly and called out, "Xiaoyun, could you help me get some dishes from the kitchen?"
Hearing Sister Wang's call, Mu Liuyun quickly replied, "Okay! I'll go right away."
Mu Liuyun agreed and walked towards the kitchen.
When he gently pushed open the slightly worn wooden door to the kitchen, a bright smile spread across his face, and he asked expectantly, "Auntie, what delicious food are we having today?"
No sooner had the words left her lips than a gentle voice rang out: "These are all your favorite foods!"
Upon hearing this answer, Mu Liuyun, who was originally overjoyed, was slightly stunned. She stood there blankly as if she had been frozen in place.
