In the park of Furano, the scenery is picturesque, with pink cherry blossoms falling like rain beneath the cherry trees and purple lavender fields creating a mesmerizing atmosphere. Xinran and Wujie felt as if they were still in a painting even as they prepared to leave. Standing among the flowers, a beautiful image floated before Xinran's eyes: she was being held by the one she deeply loved, strolling through the blossoms just as the sun was setting. Together, they looked up at the afterglow of the sunset...
That was the love she longed for—a love that would endure together, a love that lived a simple and peaceful life. She did not deny that Mu Shaosi's passionate pursuit had drawn her in so quickly; no woman dislikes surprises, and she was no exception. However, after the surprise, what she truly desired was tranquility, yet what she faced instead was a head-on betrayal...
Now, after some time to reflect, she had found her calmness again. The reason she wanted to escape was simply to avoid having Mu Shaosi disrupt her hard-won peace once more!
On the plane, the flight attendant pushed a food cart to serve meals and drinks to passengers. As she passed by Xinran, she couldn't help but glance at this woman whose face was half-hidden by dark sunglasses.
"Wujie, Sister Xinran seems to owe you an explanation. Aren't you curious about who I'm hiding from and what I went through those days?" Xinran leaned against her seatback and asked lazily.
"Sister Xinran, you don't need to explain anything to me. Everyone has their own secrets they don't want to share. Just tell me how I can help you, and I will do my utmost!" Wujie kindly adjusted the clothing covering Xinran to ensure she wouldn't catch a chill again.
"Wujie, why do you always make me feel so touched?" Xinran sniffled. "I’m telling you, don’t rush off to get married and abandon me! You have to stay my assistant forever; however, I also don’t want my Wujie to become an old maid. When that time comes, I’ll introduce you to the most handsome, caring man!"
"Sister Xinran, why are we suddenly talking about me..." Wujie pouted and closed her eyes pretending to sleep.
Through her sunglasses, Xinran looked at Wujie's serene little face and smiled. Life could be this simple and peaceful; what else could she possibly hold on to? Back then, she was so obsessed with fame and wanted to reach the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. Now that she reflected on it, even if her wishes had come true, perhaps what she would have lost would be far greater. So much had happened during this time that it had changed her deeply rooted thoughts...

"Young Master Si, Miss Xia has already boarded the plane. Aren't you going to chase after her?" In Ires's exclusive private room, Mukai Hisashi asked while holding a cigar amidst swirling smoke.
"Yes, just like that, Future Lady got away. She still has injuries!" Duan Ruyin raised an eyebrow and waved away the smoke drifting over; he hated cigarettes, even expensive cigars.
"Since she was able to escape from the hospital, those injuries must not mean much to her," Mu Shaosi replied elegantly, dressed in a tailored Hugo Boss suit that suited him perfectly. He picked up his glass, swirled the ice inside, and downed the Champagne in one go.
"How heartless! Future Lady just took a nearly fatal bullet for Young Master Si!" Duan Ruyin smiled, relishing the chaos; it was one of his greatest pleasures.
"Idiot!" Shinohara Ryo shot a glare at Duan Ruyin, softly scolding him.
"Yane, Young Master Si is not in a good mood. Be careful not to light the fuse!" Shirakawa Fuji, usually quiet, noticed that Young Master Si seemed distracted. What he claimed not to care about was likely weighing heavily on his mind. Although he hadn't pursued her, he should have been well aware of her whereabouts at all times.
"Shou, I want to find out who shot me within two days and make them taste the consequences of daring to touch me!" Mu Shaosi said, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness as he tightened his grip on the glass.
"Understood, Young Master Si. I'll take care of it right away!" Mukai Hisashi responded immediately upon hearing Young Master Si's command, extinguishing his cigar and rising to leave the private room.
