couldn't adapt to prison at all. She complained about the food being unpalatable and the bed too hard. She treated her fellow inmates like servants, acting arrogant and entitled just like a young lady...Back at the manor, Mu Xing hurried upstairs to the master bedroom but found no sign of the man.

Uncle's activities in the house are limited, not in the bedroom, then it must be in the study.

As she expected, the moment she reached the study door, she saw the man reclining on the leather sofa behind his desk. His face was turned toward the window, and the hand resting on the armrest held a cigarette between his fingertips, but it wasn't lit.

The glow of the sunset and evening sky blend into a vibrant wash of color across the clouds. As night falls, the sun casts a layered halo that streams through the large floor-to-ceiling window at an angle.

The man was enveloped in the magnificent colors, yet his slender frame emanated an endless sense of desolation.

Mu Xing's eyes moved slightly, she walked slowly to the man's side, reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his suit, shaking it gently, "Fu Lingxiao."

Fu Lingxiao pursed his thin lips, refusing to respond.

From Mu Xing's point of view, she just happened to see his incredibly handsome profile. His features were sharp and defined, with a straight brow bone and jawline, but at this moment, the lines of his face were cold and rigid.

Looks... quite tsundere.

Mu Xing let go of his sleeve, her small hand slipped into his large palm, gripping it and shaking it gently. “Fu Lingxiao, I was wrong to blame you. I apologize to you.”

The man remained completely still and indifferent.

Mu Xing also knew when to stop, "Alright, just cool down at your own pace. I'm leaving."

I retracted half my hand, but was suddenly seized by the man's large hand.

"Can't you just coax me a little, Yanyan"

He turned his head, raven-like eyelashes lifting to look at her. His low voice was laced with loss: "I can't really be angry with you, just a little coaxing and I'm fine."

Her slightly furrowed brows looked quite wronged, as if accusing her of her cold attitude.

Mu Xing was afraid that her uncle would notice she had recovered her memory, so she didn't continue to coax him. Seeing him looking so pitiful now, her heart softened instantly.

She softened her tone and apologized to him, "I was wrong. I jumped to conclusions without asking you first. I'm sorry."

"I'm angry not because you misunderstood me, but because you got angry with me on behalf of someone else. It makes me feel like anyone else is more important than me."

Fu Lingxiao's fingertips were tightly clenched, gripping her hand, his fragile eyes looking at her accusingly. "Yanyan, you can't take advantage of my love for you and treat me with such contempt."

Unlike the previous act of feigning weakness and vulnerability, Mu Xing truly felt now that this man, who exuded confidence and strength all over, was actually so fragile and sensitive.

Listen, Fu Lingxiao.

Mu Xing lowered her gaze, looking at his ink-colored eyes that were swirling with emotion. She said seriously, “I care deeply about the patients I treat. It's in my nature as a doctor to feel concerned and anxious for them. This will affect my mood, but it will never influence my attitude towards you. Nor will I look down on you because of your concern for me.”

"But your expression just became even more wronged, “You’re clearly being affected. You were angry with me this morning and ignored me. You left me alone at home and didn't care if I would be sad.”

The tone was filled with lament.

I've apologized and explained everything, but it's useless. This man is so difficult to appease that Mu Xing even doubts if she's really as terrible as he thinks, capable of hurting him this badly

But what can be done One's own man, of course, can only be pampered.

"Alright, I know I made a huge mistake this time and I've wronged you. You tell me what you want, and I'll do it."

Hearing this, Fu Lingxiao subtly raised the corner of his lips before putting on a careful expression, confirming with her, "Really anything I can do"

Mu Xing nodded, "En."

Fu Lingxiao pursed his thin lips and said, “I want to hear you say that you love me. If saying love is too much pressure, liking is fine too, Yan Yan, can you”

He slightly raised his head, looking up in a humble posture.

Like a devout believer, kneeling before the deity, begging for divine mercy and compassion.

The sun had already set, leaving only a trace of afterglow filtering through the transparent glass, into the dimly lit study. It fell into the man's eyes, casting a captivating glimmer.

Mu Xing didn't speak. She leaned down and kissed the man's thin lips deeply.

Like and love are too shallow.

Her uncle wasn't just her lover, but also the place where her soul belonged.

So, even though she had lost all her memories and even though the time they were apart was longer than the time they were in love, she still returned to his side, hopelessly falling in love with him again.

On the other side, after bidding farewell to Mu Xing, Shen Qiong rushed straight to He Chao's hospital. She couldn't wait to tell He Chao about meeting Xiao Xingxing.

Just as I arrived at the hospital, my phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

Shen Qiong took out her phone and glanced at it, answering, "What's up"

On the phone, Yun Xiaoyan’s voice came out hesitantly: "Shen Qiong, I... I have something going on now, and I need your help. Do you have time to come over"

Since Yun Xiaoyan saved Shen Qiong, their relationship improved directly. Coupled with the occasional communication over the past three years, although they weren't particularly good friends, they got along well enough.

Shen Qiong felt indebted to her for saving her life, and when Yun Xiaoyan spoke, she readily agreed without hesitation, "Okay, where is it I'll be there right away!"

"Cloud Nest Hotel, 3066."

Yun Xiaoyan reported her address. Shen Lue said, "Good," hung up the phone, sent a message to He Chao, restarted his motorcycle, and headed to Yunqi Hotel...

Silver Lake Villa.

A hands-free phone on the coffee table rang with a busy signal.

Yunze leaned against the sofa, smiling at Yun Xiaoyan, “You're still somewhat useful!”

"Second brother, I've already made the phone call for you. Can I leave now"

Yun Xiaoyan was held down by a bodyguard with a knife at her throat, kneeling before the tea table, shrinking her body.

She was forcibly taken by Yunze. Yunze forced her to call Shen Qiong, and threatened to cut off her hand if she refused. Yunze had never treated her like a sister, and she knew he was capable of doing it.

She, of course, also knew what Yunze wanted to do by tricking Shen Qiong to the hotel. To protect herself, she had no choice but to comply, but she didn't want to harm Shen Qiong. She needed to leave this place immediately and contact Shen Qiong to stop her from going to the hotel.

But, how could Yun Ze possibly let her leave

"Show me what she's got. If she doesn't come clean, make her pay!"

After giving instructions to the bodyguard, he picked up Yun Xiaoyan's phone from the tea table and left.

He had everything arranged at the hotel. He was eager to see the prey he had lured into the trap, to witness her panic, her agony, her despair. He wanted to extract tenfold the suffering he had endured from her!

Yun Xiaoyan watched Yun Ze walk out of the villa, her brow furrowed with worry.

Her bodyguard, a tall and imposing man carrying a knife, stood watch over her. She dared not make any sudden moves, but could only think secretly of ways to escape...

Daddy Fu's top-tier, adorable little one is super fierce in a fight.sed his hand, "It's time for dinner.""Let's play another round." Mu Xing was in the middle of her excitement, holding onto the man's long and straight legs, softly coquettishly with him, "Little uncle...
