Mu Youbai left the main villa with mixed feelings and saw Mu Ti waiting quietly in the garden. She was sitting gracefully at the stone table in the middle, staring blankly ahead.

"Mother."

Mu Youbai walked closer, clasped his hands together and called softly. Mu Ti came back to his senses and pulled Mu Youbai to ask him to sit next to him.

"Is your father back?"

"Yes," Mu Youbai nodded, "He is discussing business with Bai Sihan inside..."

"Youbai," Mu Ti interrupted Mu Youbai.

"I met Bethni yesterday. She was very young, very pretty, and very... clean. Any man would probably like a woman like this, but I won't give up. I have been married to Niye for more than 20 years, and we have been supporting each other through thick and thin. How could he change his mind just like that?"

"Mom," Mu Youbai's eyes suddenly turned red, "Didn't you know about Dad's lover a long time ago? Maybe he didn't change his mind, but because...Grandpa died, so he didn't want to pretend anymore."

Mu Ti's heart sank suddenly. She knew very well that Mu Tingye had been playing with her for more than 20 years.

Except when he was in front of Mu Ci and would coax her with gentle voice in bed, this man was usually lukewarm towards her.

Especially in the past year, Mu Tingye has been immersed in the land of gentleness, entangled with Besni every day, and even seeing him has become a luxury.

"Mom, let me take you home."

Mu Youbai helped Mu Ti up and wanted to take her back to the side building. His mother was born in a famous family, a lady from a rich family, but unfortunately her thinking was too old-fashioned, she didn't know how to fight for it, let alone leave. She knew that Mu Tingye didn't love her, but she would only wait bitterly.

"You can travel, get beauty treatments, and do anything you like instead of wasting your time on a man who is not worthy of your trust."

Mu Ti looked at Mu Youbai with a sullen look and pushed Mu Youbai's hand away with force.

"He's your father, how can you say that to him? Go first, I'll wait."

Mu Youbai sighed. He knew Mu Ti too well, so he didn't say anything to persuade her. He took out the motorcycle keys from his pocket and left without looking back.

When we arrived at the clothing company, the award ceremony had already ended. There was a lot of noise inside, and people who had attended the ceremony were leaving one after another. The staff were busy cleaning up.

Mu Youbai walked through the crowd with his hands in his trouser pockets. After searching carefully for a long time, he finally saw Xu Nuonuo's petite figure.

She wore light makeup and a gradient blue dress. She sat softly and obediently in an inconspicuous corner of the venue, like a butterfly elf that accidentally fell into the dust.

Fragile but beautiful.

She carefully placed Jin Liang's trophy on the chair beside her. She took out her mobile phone, took a photo of the trophy, tapped the screen several times, and sent it to someone unknown.

Less than a second later, her cell phone rang.

Mu Youbai's gaze passed through the layers of people and saw Xu Nuonuo pressing the answer button on her mobile phone with unconcealed joy, and then a sweet smile suddenly bloomed on her face.

Like pear blossoms in the spring rain, her smile was so beautiful that you could tell whose call she answered without having to guess. Xu Nuonuo would only smile so beautifully in front of Mu Ningchi.

Half a year and another half a year...

Time has not made her forget, it has only made her miss her more deeply.

Mu You stared at Xu Nuonuo with deep white eyes. The crowd in the venue gradually dispersed, the noise died down, and only he stood there silently.

I waited silently for a long, long time.

Seeing Xu Nuonuo hanging up the phone in the corner, she hugged the trophy and laughed shyly and happily a few times before getting up and leaving, but she never noticed his presence.

Xu Nuonuo's excited reaction, her father's path of no return, and Bai Sihan's unrestrained ambition... Mu Youbai could probably guess -

His little uncle will be back soon.

The boy lowered his eyelashes slightly, turned around, and walked away step by step in the opposite direction of Xu Nuonuo.

Forget it, he had already lost this love from the day he met Xu Nuonuo...

Xu Nuonuo returned to Hongyuan Xingyuan and took a detour to the library that had just been built in the community. She looked at the overly straightforward name of the library with complicated eyes.

Cat Book Club.

Even though Mu Ningchi didn't mention it, Xu Nuonuo knew it must be his work just by looking at the name.

Boring...Xu Nuonuo chuckled.

She stepped in.

The library is very large, with soft and elegant decoration. Sunlight shines through the windows onto the tiles on the floor, creating patches of light and shadow, and the air is filled with the faint scent of books.

Perhaps because this library was not promoted in any way after it was built, it is not well-known, and only one or two readers can be seen occasionally among the neatly arranged bookshelves.

There are even more cats, some of them curled up under the bookshelf to take a nap, some leisurely basking in the sun by the window, or rubbing against the bookshelf.

Xu Nuonuo walked around the lazily resting kitten, walked between the bookshelves for a while, and finally came to the information desk.

"Excuse me, where is the sadomasochistic novel?"

The young lady at the information desk was playing with her mobile phone leisurely. When she looked up and saw Xu Nuonuo, she was stunned at first, then quickly put her phone away and smiled at Xu Nuonuo embarrassedly.

"Boss...wife."

"Huh?" Xu Nuonuo was stunned.

The young lady looked at her carefully again, and sure enough, the person in front of her was exactly the same as the one in the photo that Mr. Chen gave her, she was the owner of this library!

The young lady continued to speak.

"Madam, the boss said that romance novels with bad endings are not allowed. Other than that, we have all kinds of books, especially...sweet love stories. You can read as many as you want."

"He..." Xu Nuonuo frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After staring at the young lady for several seconds, Xu Nuonuo hugged the trophy tightly in his hand, turned around and left with a stern face.

"There's not even a single sadomasochistic story? That's too much! I won't read it!!"

"Boss...wife?"

The young lady scratched her head in confusion, but all she could see in her eyes was Xu Nuonuo's determined back as she left.

She patted her chest with lingering fear, and only took out her cell phone again after making sure that Xu Nuonuo would not come back.

Fortunately, the boss’s wife had a good temper and did not fire her for playing with her mobile phone. Otherwise, where could she find such an easy job with a high salary?

Xu Nuonuo walked back along the blue-gray stone steps, but saw five shabbily dressed men squatting at the entrance of Building E, two of them were not wearing shirts.

They were either squatting or leaning against the wall, each holding a cigarette in their hands, smoking leisurely.

Although they are both smokers, Mu Ningchi always has a kind of noble and lazy elegance when smoking, and the diffused smell of smoke is also fragrant.

Unlike this group of men, they look vulgar and obscene.

Annoying clouds of smoke swirled in the air, choking Xu Nuonuo so much that she covered her mouth and nose and coughed several times.

She wanted to go upstairs around the men, but one of them put out his cigarette and approached her the moment he saw her.

"What a beautiful little beauty!"

After looking at Xu Nuonuo carefully, the man raised his hand in a mean way and wanted to touch Xu Nuonuo's face, but Xu Nuonuo turned her face away.

Seeing other men also standing up and approaching, Xu Nuonuo threw the trophy to the side without hesitation, turned around and ran away.

The leading man raised his right hand slightly and shouted.

"Chase!"
