“That’s right. People say that beautiful women are not smart, and smart women are not beautiful, because God is fair and can’t let you have all the advantages. I used to believe this, but now it seems that this statement is not accurate at all when applied to Mrs. Mu.”
"Yes, yes, no, not accurate at all. Mrs. Mu is beautiful, intelligent, and even more rare is her humor. She is truly exceptional."
"If you ask me, our CEO Mu is the most impressive. He doesn't make a move until he finds such a perfect female companion. His eye for talent is truly sharp. We can only look up to him in awe."
The sudden praise almost made Yi Yi feel elated. In all her years, she had received more praise today than all her previous praise combined.
However, are all these beautiful words like "stunning beauty," "intelligent," and "perfect" really used to describe her?
Yi Yi smiled awkwardly and politely, tilting her head slightly to whisper to Mu Nanxun beside her, "Mu Mu, they're so strange. Why do they keep saying how good I am? Although I am indeed good, I shouldn't be as good as they say, to such an outrageous degree, right?"
"Ahem..." Mu Nanxun cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "You'll have to get used to standing next to me. This is nothing, there will be plenty of people praising you to the skies in the future."
Uh~ Yi Yi was embarrassed. If this is called "nothing", then if it is "nothing", wouldn't we have to praise her like a fairy? That would shorten her lifespan!
Looking at the faces of these people who were practically grinning at her, Yi Yi suddenly realized that she should just eat. Only when she was full would she feel truly at ease!

Yi Yi had a good time relaxing at Rose Villa, but because Mu Nanxun had important business to attend to at his company, the two of them had to take a helicopter back to Maple Waterfront that night.
The moment the two of them stepped into the house, Li Ma, looking terrified, pushed Mu Wenya in from outside, constantly looking back as they walked.
"What's going on? Why are you in such a panic?" The old man was sitting in the living room drinking tea when he saw Li Ma looking like she had seen a ghost, and his expression changed slightly.
Mu Wenya gently comforted her, "Li Ma, don't be afraid. We're already home. Besides, there are men in black guarding outside the villa. Think carefully about what you just saw and what you noticed, and tell us properly."
"Yes, yes, Miss." Li Ma said, glancing back at the villa with lingering fear, and swallowed hard.
Yi Yi and Mu Nanxun exchanged a glance. What was going on? Li Ma had lived most of her life and seen everything. What could possibly frighten her like this?
"Reporting to Master, Miss, and Young Master, after dinner tonight, I took Miss out for a walk. Usually, we just stroll around the Maple Waterfront Villa area, but today Miss said she hasn't been out for a while and wants to go somewhere a little further away."
"Yes, that's what I said," Mu Wenya explained.
Li Ma nodded. "I thought it would be good for Miss to go outside for a walk since she stays in her room all day. But I know that Miss has difficulty moving around, so I don't dare to go too far. I was thinking of taking Miss for a walk around the villa area."
"Yes, that's no problem," Mu Nanxun echoed.
