— Monday, Minghuan's home.
"Huanhuan, tell me about your meeting with Xia Wensheng's parents. What kind of gift did they give you? What were his parents like? Were they welcoming to you?"
When asked about her friend's question, Minghuan simply said, "Don't worry, Ayun, his parents are very nice people, and they're also very good to me."
"I knew you wouldn't be able to say anything else. Anyway, I've already told you. Whether you listen or not is up to you. They have more than one child, and he's not even their biological son. Their situation is more complicated than that of a typical family."
When Minghuan heard her friend say such things again, she couldn't help but frown. "Ayun, please don't say things like that again."
Minghuan thought to herself that it was fortunate that An Yun didn't know about what happened at Wenxi's birthday party last week, otherwise she didn't know what else she would have said.
Thinking of this, she said seriously, "Let's put aside Wensheng's matter for now. I've known Wenxi for a while now, and I trust my own judgment. An Yun, you are my friend, and I hope you can respect me."
Unexpectedly, An Yun stood up angrily upon hearing this, "I'm reminding you! I'm doing this for your own good. You've always been so naive, seeing everyone as a good person. When someone took your spot for an exchange program abroad in college, you still became friends with them."
Minghuan was surprised that she would bring up things from her university days.
"Didn't I explain this to you before? She didn't take my spot. It was my own choice not to go. My grandfather was sick at that time, and I didn't want to go abroad and be too far from home in case something happened and I couldn't get back."
"Who do you think I'm doing this for? Would I say these things if I weren't thinking of you? They've been siblings for over twenty years, a family united in heart. What would you do if they teamed up to deceive you?"
Hearing this, Minghuan laughed. "In your heart, I'm just a fool, Xia Wensheng is a liar, and Wenxi is a scheming and vicious woman. Is that what you think? An Yun, I've said it before, I hope my friends can respect me."
"So you're attacking your friend for your boyfriend? To put it bluntly, that's called being love-struck, you know that, Huanhuan?"
"The fact is that Wen Sheng did nothing, and Wen Xi didn't hurt me or interfere in my relationship with Wen Sheng. What do you think I have to do to not be love-struck? Break up with Xia Wen Sheng? Or force him to ask his parents to kick Wen Xi out?"
An Yun's face stiffened. "I didn't say that."
"But that's what you mean! I don't think we need to continue this topic, if you still consider me a friend."
"The problem now is whether you still consider me your friend." An Yun stood up and left Ming Huan's house.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Xia Wensheng brought the things he had promised to his girlfriend and went to her house. As soon as he entered, he keenly sensed that she was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong, Huanhuan? What happened?"
Minghuan shook his head and looked at the two masters behind him and the things on the cart.
"What...?" Minghuan lowered her voice, "You actually bought a safe, and such a big one at that?!"
"Didn't you want one? Wouldn't you sleep better at night if you had a safe at home?"
As Xia heard this, he instructed the craftsman to move the safe into the study and place it next to the bookshelf.
After everyone left, Minghuan walked to the safe. "You bought one this big; it could fit me inside."
"It's so safe, no one can take it away, not even a chainsaw can cut it open!" Xia Wensheng became more and more excited as he spoke, looking like he wanted to find a chainsaw on the spot to demonstrate it to Minghuan.
"Thank you. Although it looks ugly and doesn't quite match my study, I still like it."
"Is it ugly? Isn't black pretty cool? If you don't like it, you can just buy a can of paint and repaint it."
Xia Wensheng put his arm around his girlfriend and sat down. "So now can you tell me why you're unhappy today?"
"It's nothing, just a small disagreement with a friend, you don't need to worry."
Minghuan doesn't want to hear her friends say bad things about her boyfriend, but she also won't speak ill of her friends in front of her boyfriend.
Xia Wensheng didn't say much after hearing this, only saying, "It's normal for friends to have some conflicts. If you want to continue being friends, then communicate with each other again. Don't let this affect your mood."
After saying that, he took his girlfriend's hand and said in a wronged tone, "Now that my dad has completely retired, I will be very busy these next few months. I will try to make time to go home with you at the end of the year, and you can stay at home for a while then."
"President Xia, don't forget that I also have to go to work." Ming Huan reached out and pinched his cheek.
“The band will be even busier during the Chinese New Year, okay? It’s okay, you’ve seen it in the video, haven’t you? Besides, my parents said that if I can’t go home for the Chinese New Year, they will come and spend the holiday with me.”
"Please invite your uncle and aunt over, that would be too much trouble!"
"They're here to spend the New Year with me, what's it to you?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Xia Wensheng smiled and leaned closer, his arm still around Minghuan's waist to prevent her from pulling away.

Xia Wenxi has been studying non-stop lately, even when she's awake at night, she's memorizing key points. After all, if she doesn't pass the exam, the house will be a waste.
The house has now been successfully transferred to the owner, and renovations have already begun.
Unfortunately, the cunning Xia Wensheng, after learning about this, specially arranged for someone to contact Xia Wenxi, tell her the renovation plan, show her the renderings, and ask for her opinions.
After a while, she couldn't wait to move in—her dream love room!
Although her mother wouldn't stop her from staying there if she didn't pass the exam, Xia Wenxi still felt embarrassed thinking about why she would go to stay there even though the house was so close to the school.
This is Xia Wensheng's plan.
It's remarkable that he's so busy with his company that he still managed to come up with ways to encourage students to study.
Xia Wensheng found out that his grandparents had come to see his father. It wasn't Xia Hengyuan who told him; his grandparents had actually asked their grandchildren to contact their cousin, Xia Wensheng.
In the end, Xia Wensheng managed to trick him into revealing the truth.
Grandpa and Grandma actually wanted Xia Wenxi to marry her uncle's son, saying that they weren't related by blood anyway.
Xia Wensheng was so angry that his nose was about to spit fire. Everyone was eyeing the shares under Xia Wenxi's name. Thinking of this, Xia Wensheng also complained to his father, "Couldn't you have been more discreet and transferred them privately?"
There are other ways to give Xia Wenxi a chance to vent her anger!
Thinking about how many people have been openly or secretly inquiring about whether Xia Wenxi has a boyfriend lately...
Xia Wensheng was so angry that he took out his phone and sent three messages.
One for my dad.
Dad! Do you know what a terrible thing you've done?
One for Xia Wenxi.
Don't talk to strangers when you're out!
A message was sent to Lin Shen.
Compared to the people outside, you're barely acceptable.
