They are all fake, mere illusions conjured up!
However, when the dagger reached Yi Yi's chest, he couldn't bring himself to stab it.
If this Yi Yi is truly fake, then stabbing her would naturally be a happy ending for everyone. But... if the Yi Yi in front of him is real, then stabbing her like this would be something he'd regret for the rest of his life.
Mu Nanxun repeatedly recalled his time with Yi Yi over the past few days. Indeed, too many strange and eerie things had happened in this villa. He might be inside a huge barrier, but he couldn't be sure if Yi Yi was also trapped in an illusion like him.
Yes, if Yi Yi was also under Lao Wu's illusion, then her unusual behavior during this period is possible.
Yes, how could he not have thought of that? Perhaps, this was precisely Lao Wu's scheme. Lao Wu placed both him and Yi Yi within this enormous illusion, causing them to distrust and suspect each other, until finally, even kill each other.
Thinking of this, Mu Nanxun quickly withdrew the dagger, no longer having the courage to stab.
"Ugh—Mumu..."
Yi rubbed her eyes, having woken up.
"Why are you up so early? Is Guoguo awake? Oh my god..."
Seeing Yi Yi struggling to get out of bed, still half-asleep, filled Mu Nanxun with inexplicable heartache. She had devoted herself so much to taking care of the child, to his feelings, and even learned to cook for him, yet he had doubted her and even wanted to kill her! He had never felt so despicable before!
"Don't go, Guoguo is still sleeping."
Mu Nanxun hugged Yi Yi tenderly. Still half asleep, she leaned on his shoulder and yawned, "It's good that you're alright. I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer."
"Sweetie, you can sleep as long as you want. I'll go and comfort Guoguo when she wakes up."
"No, that won't do. You need to rest properly; you still have to go to work. There are so many things waiting for you at the company; you can't let family matters distract you."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. Besides, Guoguo hasn't woken up yet, we can sleep a little longer together."
Mu Nanxun carried Yi Yi to bed, then lay down beside her, holding her close. "Sleep, it's still early."
"Um."
Yi closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Not long after, Mu Nanxun also fell asleep.
In the darkness, Yi Yi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Mu Nanxun, who was sleeping beside her, with an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity and coldness in her eyes.

Days passed by uneventfully, one after another.
As Guoguo grew older, she started sleeping in the nursery with the help of the maid. This meant that Mu Nanxun and Yi Yi had more and more time to spend alone together.
For some reason, Mu Nanxun felt that Yi Yi's gaze had changed recently. Her eyes were still clear and bright, yet there was something hidden within them that he couldn't see. Sometimes, he felt as if Yi Yi was coldly staring at him from behind, like she was watching her prey.
But when he turned around, he found that Yi Yi's gaze was not on him.
That night, the familiar howling of wolves rang in his ears again, and this time it seemed even more urgent than before. A bad premonition crept into Mu Nanxun's heart.
After taking a shower, Yi came out of the bathroom, her body steaming with mist, looking as beautiful as a fairy who had fallen from heaven to earth.
Mu Nanxun was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously sat up from the bed.
