In the dark bedroom, Mu Heng heard the woman's steady breathing. He opened his eyes and looked at her profile with complicated eyes. She was sleeping peacefully. He lowered his head and kissed the woman's forehead. Then, he gently lifted the quilt, tied the belt of his nightgown, got out of bed and left the bedroom.

Mu Heng closed the door of the study, walked to the desk in the dark, turned on the desk lamp, and took out an old diary from the drawer.

He was silent for a moment, then opened the diary again and, with the help of the dim light, read the contents from beginning to end.

After reading it, the loose hair on his forehead blocked his eyes, and Mu Heng's pair of dark eyes became even darker, hiding hidden thoughts.

After sitting there for a long time, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Master? What do you want?"

"Find me the doctor who treated Mengmeng for depression two years ago. I want to see him tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go find it right away."

Mu Heng hung up the phone, looked at the beautiful handwriting on the last page of the diary, and fell into endless contemplation.

Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the bedroom. The naked woman's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her mind was blank, and it took her a moment to remember what happened yesterday.

She turned her head and looked beside her. There was no one there, but there was still some residual heat.

Ruan Mengmeng held her forehead and sat up. She felt that she had experienced a lot in just one short day yesterday. She couldn't help but shook her head. She was really becoming more and more emotional as she grew older.

After Ruan Mengmeng finished washing up and walked out of the room, she saw a tall man standing in front of the open kitchen counter making breakfast.

The man was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his fair and strong forearms.

Ruan Mengmeng walked behind him and heard the man's cold voice: "Awake?"

Ruan Mengmeng paused, was surprised for a second, and without saying anything, took a step forward, hugged the man's thin waist with both hands, and put her little face against him.

The man who was making breakfast paused for a moment, then covered her with his free hand and said, "I'll take you to the company this afternoon."

"Yeah." Ruan Mengmeng responded, standing on tiptoe to kiss Mu Heng's ear.

After Ruan Mengmeng made this move, she was stunned for a second. She herself didn't know why she made this move.

In response to Ruan Mengmeng's initiative, Mu Heng calmly squeezed her fingers and said to her, "Go heat up two cups of milk."

Ruan Mengmeng said "Oh", pulled her hand out, opened the refrigerator, poured two cups of milk, and heated them in the microwave.

Mu Heng had already turned off the fire, put the breakfast on a plate and brought it to the table.

The two sat opposite each other. Ruan Mengmeng suddenly remembered the wound on Mu Heng's hand and asked, "Why did something happen to you that day?"

Mu Heng handed the tableware to Ruan Mengmeng and said calmly, "I accidentally had some friction with someone else."

"Who is it?" Ruan Mengmeng asked subconsciously.

Mu Heng glanced at her, thought for a moment and said, "It's someone from the Mu family."

When Ruan Mengmeng heard him mention the Mu family, she immediately understood Mu Heng's intention. His words were obscure, but he didn't want to talk too much about the Mu family with her, probably because the less she knew, the safer it would be. So she ate breakfast in silence.

Mu Heng actually changed his story. He didn't tell what happened between him and Mu Chen that night, and he didn't tell Ruan Mengmeng about Mu Chen's dirty thoughts. He did this to protect her and prevent her from getting involved.

After a moment, Ruan Mengmeng suddenly said to Mu Heng: "Protect yourself. I don't want to see another scar on your body."

Every time Ruan Mengmeng had anything to do with Mu Heng, it was definitely related to his injury.

She thinks that since they are already in a relationship, she shouldn't make the other person worry about you.

Ruan Mengmeng would do this, but Mu Heng might not, so she made that request to him.

Mu Heng's eyes flickered, and he said slowly, "Okay."

…

On the other side, on the top floor of Fu’s headquarters.

In the huge office, Fu Yiming had been working non-stop for two days and one night. He pinched his brows tiredly, finished reading the last document, signed his name on it, handed it to Wang Yihan beside him, and instructed: "I will go to Linshi this afternoon and come back next week. If the company has anything, please find Yijian."

Wang Yihan was startled and asked seriously, "Boss, who should I send to accompany you this afternoon?"

Fu Yiming said, "No, I'll drive there myself."

Wang Yihan was anxious and said quickly: "But, Boss, you haven't had a rest for two days. Why don't you find a designated driver?"

After Xia Linan was taken home by the Xia family, Fu Yiming packed all the work for the next week into these two days, with almost no rest time, and his mental state was not good. Therefore, Wang Yihan was very worried that something might happen on the way.

Fu Yiming pondered for a moment, then said to Wang Yihan, "Then go find a designated driver and leave at noon."

Wang Yihan nodded and said, "Okay." He walked out of the office with the documents.

There were still two hours before noon. Fu Yiming got up and went to the bathroom in the lounge to take a quick shower and change his clothes.

He lay in bed, picked up his phone, and turned on the screen. On it was a picture of a woman's quiet and beautiful profile. She was standing among a pile of maple leaves, her long hair blown by the autumn wind.

This was a scene he captured with his mobile phone when he saw Xia Linan standing outside the villa in his study in the fall.

In the past two days, Xia Linan had not contacted him, and Fu Yiming couldn't help but worry that Xia Linan was under house arrest by the Xia family.

According to the data and information Wang Yihan had found, the Xia family had an adopted son named Xia Yansi, who went to New York to study and develop ten years ago. In other words, it was this man named Xia Yansi who called him late at night last time, and it was also him who took Xia Linan away from his doorstep a few days ago.

When Fu Yiming learned about this situation, his mood fluctuated greatly. He trusted Xia Linan, but he did not trust Xia Linan's non-blood-related brother.

Men understand other men's minds. Xia Yansi gave up the ten years of foundation he had built in New York and suddenly returned to China. His purpose was obvious: for Xia Linan.

Fu Yiming has always felt an invisible sense of crisis coming towards him, and what makes him even more uncomfortable is that his woman is being remembered by other men.

That's why he worked non-stop to finish all the work. In addition, there was more work at the end of the year, which put Fu Yiming under greater pressure.

His thumb couldn't help but stroke the screen of the phone, his eyes were tender and affectionate, and then he fell asleep unknowingly.

In his dream, Fu Yiming saw a woman in a white wedding dress standing in front of him with her back to him.

Fu Yiming recognized the woman as Xia Linan at a glance. She suddenly turned around and smiled at him, and the surrounding scenery instantly became less attractive.

A smile appeared on Fu Yiming's lips. When he was about to walk towards her, he suddenly saw a man on Xia Linan's left.
