When Xi Xiaye and Wang Hui returned, it was already past five in the evening.

There were many people in the temple. Wang Hui and Zhuang Shurong had even especially asked a Great Master for a protective talisman for the couple, hoping for them to be safe and sound in the days to come. After that, the three of them went shopping for a while, so they returned a little late.

When they reached home, Mu Yuchen and Mu Yinan had already finished preparing dinner. They took their seats at the table.

The table was full of dishes that were sumptuous. The dishes were all personally attended to by Mu Yuchen while Mu Yinan assisted. It was such a rare moment as it seemed to be his first time preparing for such a grand feast.

Xi Xiaye seemed to have gotten used to the man's cooking in this period of time, especially when she saw the honey sauce pork ribs before her. She felt her appetite increase and she practically licked her plate clean. She even inhaled all the vegetables that Mu Yuchen had served her.

After dinner, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye's phone seemed to ring at the same time.

On his end, it was obviously Zhou Zimo calling to rush him, while for her, it was Su Nan.

"Hello? Xiaye, Happy New Year! May you have a prosperous New Year! Our guests are all almost here now. Are you on your way?"

The call had just gotten through when Su Nan's voice came through.

Xi Xiaye accepted the water that Mu Yuchen handed her. She took a gulp and then answered, "I've just finished dinner and I'm about to leave. You guys play first. I'll reach soon."

"Okay, then hurry up, alright? We'll wait for you!"

"Mmm," she simply answered before hanging up and getting up. The man beside had already packed up and was waiting for her.

"Let's go," she said.

"Go to the wardrobe and put on another overcoat. It's a little cold out there."

His deep voice held a firmness that did not allow defiance.

Xi Xiaye frowned and looked at him. After thinking about it, she then obediently went back to get a windbreaker before picking the car keys up from the table.

On the way to Zhou Zimo's place, they coincidentally passed by Emperor. The one who drove was Mu Yuchen. City Z was not as crowded as it usually was, probably because many people were on holiday and had gone home to celebrate the New Year.

However, the area around Emperor was livelier than it usually was.

After the car turned at a busy traffic junction, it stopped steadily on a driveway before Emperor.

Xi Xiaye unbuckled her seat belt. When she glanced at the time, she noticed that it was only slightly past 7 p.m., so she then told him, "I'm getting down now. Drive safe. Right, don't drink so much if you're driving. At about half-past 10, I'll call you again."

"Mmm, put on the windbreaker. Have you taken all of your things?" He handed the windbreaker to her and said softly.

"I've got everything."

She reached over to take the windbreaker he handed her and was about to get down the car when he pulled her in. Before she could react, he planted a cold kiss accurately onto her forehead. By the time she could absorb it fully, he had already leaned over and helped her open the car door.
