"I only want Brother Xun."
"You're so useless! If you had the Mu family's wealth, there would be plenty of excellent men out there, and there are even men more outstanding than Mu Nanxun. You could pick and choose any of them. Finding a man a thousand times better than Mu Nanxun would be a piece of cake. You'd be spoiled for choice."
Xia Bingqing, however, disagreed and asked suspiciously, "Dad, what are you talking about? Why are you bringing up the Mu family's assets out of the blue? What kind of bad idea are you plotting? Let me tell you, I don't care what you do, but you're not allowed to hurt my Xun-gege, and you're not allowed to have designs on the Mu family."
She didn't care about property or anything like that. No amount of property could compare to Mu Nanxun.
Upon hearing this, Xia's father on the other end of the phone paused, then stammered, "No, I... I could... what bad ideas could I possibly have? You're overthinking it."
"You still want to lie to me? I can tell you're hiding something from me as soon as I hear you stammering. Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm going to tell Brother Xun right now."
"You..." Xia's father was speechless with anger. "How could I have such a disloyal daughter like you? Don't worry, I didn't have any bad intentions. I was just joking with you. I'm just worried about your marriage, so I'm trying to find a way to make Mu Nanxun change his mind."
"Really, Dad?" Xia Bingqing perked up immediately. "Then tell me quickly, how can I make Brother Xun forget that bitch and come back to me?"
Xia's father on the other end of the phone chuckled sinisterly, "It's very simple. Although Mu Nanxun is incredibly arrogant, he is still a man of loyalty. Since he was willing to accept your marriage agreement because you saved him, he can also change his mind and fall in love with you again if you save him once more."
"This..." Xia Bingqing hesitated, "Will this work?"
“Why not?” Xia’s father’s tone suddenly became serious. “Daughter, listen to your father. Tonight at midnight, I will send someone to pretend to assassinate Mu Nanxun. You take the opportunity to save his life and make him grateful to you so that he can’t live without you.”
Xia Bingqing was eager to try. Since it was fake, there was no need to worry about Xun-gege being in danger. Anyway, that little bitch Yi Yi wasn't around, so no one would compete with her for this job. If Xun-gege thought she had risked her life to save him, he would definitely forgive her previous deception, and maybe even change his mind.
That's a good plan.
"Okay, Dad, then it's settled."
"It's settled. Remember, it's midnight tonight. Don't get the time wrong," Xia's father repeatedly instructed.
Xia Bingqing was eager to hang up the phone, completely oblivious to the unusual tone in her father's voice. "I know, I know, I won't be mistaken."

Xiao Fang reported the situation to Mu Nanxun.
"Boss, the assassins haven't left yet; they'll probably make their move tonight."
"Hmm, don't stop them, let them in smoothly. I want to see how capable they are, daring to attack me."
Mu Nanxun exuded a chilling aura. Even Xiao Fang couldn't help but shiver upon seeing him. Let's offer a minute of silence for those two assassins; that's all we can do.
"Has Yi Yi left?"
"Reporting to the boss, I saw from the surveillance footage that Miss Yi left Maple Riverside safely without encountering any assassins."
Mu Nanxun gave a faint "hmm" and fell into deep thought.
