Perhaps the guests did not notice when the host of the banquet left, but two people certainly did. One was the young man, who lost Mukai Saki to the host, unable to stop it in time. The other was Summer, who had been sitting alone in a corner. She watched as Mukai Saki was pulled away from a stranger by Mukai Hisashi with a force that was not exactly gentle. She understood the deeper meaning behind it and smiled to herself before leaving the banquet.
As she stepped out of the hall, the Paparazzi had already dispersed. There were no overly persistent Paparazzi left to block her path, leaving her with a moment of peace. Mu Shaosi's car was parked a hundred meters away, its headlights flashing as if signaling that he was waiting for her. Xinran smiled lightly, not in a hurry, and strolled forward leisurely.
Since returning from Japan, she had been busy and restless. First, she nearly sold herself out for shares in Xia Sheng Group, then she sacrificed her marriage for those same shares. Even before she could feel any regret, Xia Wenyiyi had led her into such an exciting drama, keeping her in a state of confusion and distress. So at this moment, walking calmly under the night sky felt like a rare treasure to her.
She slightly raised her head and gazed at the large and exquisite car under the night sky. Mu Shaosi was sitting inside, perhaps reviewing documents or elegantly sipping red wine. Even if she couldn't see his noble demeanor, she could almost imagine it! She couldn't describe her current feelings; half of her was eager to see him, even wanting to rush into his arms seeking warmth and tenderness, while the other half felt fear and unease, worried that everything might vanish in an instant. After all, their marriage—both real and fake—had only lasted three months!
Suddenly, she recalled what Mukai Saki had just said: how contradictory and foolish she felt for loving deeply when she clearly shouldn't have. Wasn't that also true for her? She had initially warned herself to be cautious but still lost her heart so easily. When facing him again, she reminded herself to guard her heart tightly but lamented that their time together was just a fleeting three months.
"Did you enjoy the banquet?" As Xinran approached the car, Mu Shaosi got out holding a white feather cloak. He hurried over to drape it over her shoulders to protect her from the cold night air.
"Very much," Xinran nodded, borrowing light from the moon to admire Mu Shaosi's handsome face. The warmth of his hand resting on her waist made her feel a sense of attachment.
"Then let's go home."
"I don't want to go home so early. Can you take me to the mountaintop to see the stars? The night is so beautiful; we shouldn't waste it!" Xinran took hold of Mu Shaosi's other hand and pleaded slightly.
"Since my wife has asked, how can I refuse?" Mu Shaosi nodded, opened the car door for Xinran, then got in himself and instructed the driver to head for the mountaintop.
On the way there, Xinran gently leaned against Mu Shaosi, suddenly leaning slightly forward as if recalling something important. She asked, "Can you tell me what you were thinking about the last time you took me to see the stars?"
Xinran's curiosity came quickly; she felt like she was playing with fire, but she really wanted to know what Mu Shaosi felt when he was deceiving her—whether it was laughter or sadness, or if he felt nothing at all because she was just a passerby...
"I don't want to say," Mu Shaosi replied helplessly. Should he say Xinran was despicable for asking such a question? He had approached her to declare war on Shaoyang, and his thoughts were focused on quickly winning her over and then tossing her aside. However, he ended up being captivated by this woman instead of successfully executing his plan.
"Tell me!" Xinran pretended to be cute, shaking Mu Shaosi's arm. When she saw that he remained unmoved, her eyes darted around before she suddenly kissed his lips.
"Wife, this is what you asked for; don't blame me!" Mu Shaosi grinned wickedly, pulling Xinran closer before fiercely attacking her soft lips. She had tempted him first, so he naturally had to retaliate. Moreover, this was the best way to divert her attention; after a passionate kiss, she would likely forget about probing into his past thoughts...
