Inside the Duanmu Mansion, Duanmu Ya sat quietly by the window, her thoughts surging like a tide. Recalling everything she had experienced on the bustling street today, her heart was still unsettled.

Especially the girl in pink. Whenever she recalled that charming face, Duanmu Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. For some reason, she always felt that the girl in pink was strikingly similar to the Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) in her memory.

Whether it was her lively eyes or the playful smile that slipped out when her lips turned up slightly, they all seemed to be exactly like Duanmu Li. Even the unique aura that emanated from her gestures gave Duanmu Ya the illusion that the person before her was her good friend Duanmu Li, who had always been by her side.

However, Duanmu Ya couldn't help but shook her head, thinking to herself: "How is this possible? Duanmu Li has already left here to pursue her own path. Maybe it's just because I miss her too much that I have such an illusion..." But despite this, the figure of the girl in pink always lingered in Duanmu Ya's mind and could not be shaken off.

Duanmu Ya secretly swore: "I will never let anyone else take away everything that belongs to me. Even if (Duanmu Li) is still alive, what can she do? She is a waste who is not even liked by her father. How can she compare with me?"

At this moment, Duanmu Ya's face was distorted, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel the pain at all.

"From childhood to adulthood, my father's eyes have never stayed on her for a moment. And I have always been my father's pride and the hope of the family." Duanmu Ya shouted wildly in her heart.

She paced back and forth in the room, and the figure of Duanmu Li kept appearing in her mind, as if she saw her trying to take away the glory and status she had.

"She is just a poor, good-for-nothing creature. She has no family support and no strong power. Why should she compete with me?" Duanmu Ya said gritting her teeth.

Duanmu Ya stopped and stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, tidied her messy hair, and tried to calm herself down.

"I must find a way to completely eradicate her so that she will never have a chance to turn things around." Duanmu Ya's eyes became fierce and determined again.

The maid came to report: "Miss, the prince is here."

Duanmu Ya's originally gloomy face instantly changed into a look of surprise and shyness. She quickly adjusted her clothes and hair, and looked at herself carefully in the mirror again to make sure her posture was perfect.

"Come on, follow me to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Duanmu Ya's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement. She took light lotus steps and hurried out.

Along the way, Duanmu Ya secretly wondered why the prince came this time. Was it just a visit, or was there something important he wanted to discuss with her? Thinking of this, her heartbeat quickened.

Arriving at the front hall, Duanmu Ya saw the handsome figure of the Crown Prince and quickly saluted: "Ya'er greets the Crown Prince."

The prince smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite."

Duanmu Ya stood up and looked at the prince lovingly, her heart full of anticipation.

Duanmu Ya said coquettishly: "Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?"

The prince looked at her joyful and playful expression, smiled softly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I missed you so much that I came to see you."

Duanmu Ya's face flushed instantly, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered softly, "Brother Crown Prince always knows how to make me happy."

The prince stepped forward, took Duanmu Ya's hand, and said gently, "Everything I say is sincere, Ya'er, please don't disbelieve it."

Duanmu Ya raised her head, her eyes full of joy and dependence, "Ya'er naturally believes in the Crown Prince."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was warm and sweet, and Duanmu Ya felt that her heart was filled with happiness.

As he spoke, the prince pinched Duanmu Ya's chin and kissed her fiercely.

Duanmu Ya was startled at first, then she closed her eyes, her hands unconsciously wrapped around the prince's neck, and she devoted herself to this passionate kiss.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, everything around them became unimportant, only their passionate breaths intertwined with each other.

After a long time, the prince let go of Duanmu Ya. Her face was flushed and her eyes were confused and shy.

The prince looked at her like this, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly: "Ya'er, you are so beautiful."

Duanmu Ya pounded the prince's chest coquettishly, "Brother Prince always makes fun of me."

However, her heart was filled with sweetness and joy.

On the other side, Xing Xuanzhong (Duanmu Li) and his mother finally found a new place to stay after some twists and turns.

This is a small, somewhat simple but fairly tidy courtyard, with a quiet environment, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Xing Xuanzhong (Duanmu Li) walked into the courtyard holding little Mu Han's hand, his eyes full of expectations for their future life.

Little Mu Han looked around curiously, and a tender voice rang out: "Mom, is this our home from now on?"

Xing Xuanzhong (Duanmu Li) smiled and nodded, squatted down and touched Xiao Muhan's head, and said: "Yes, baby, we will live well here from now on."

There is a big tree in the yard with lush branches and leaves, which adds a bit of vitality to the yard. Although the room is not big, it is decorated warmly and comfortably.

Xing Xuanzhong (Duanmu Li) began to clean and tidy up, and little Mu Han also sensibly helped pass things around. Mother and son worked together, and in a short while, the room looked brand new.

"Baby, are you tired?" Xing Xuanzhong (Duanmu Li) asked with concern.

Xiao Muhan shook his head and said, "When I'm with my mother, nothing is tiring."

Xing Xuanzhong (Duanmu Li) felt a warm feeling in her heart and hugged little Mu Han tightly. She knew that the days ahead might be full of hardships, but as long as she was with her child, she would have endless courage and strength to face everything.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) gently asked Xiao Muhan: "Baby, do you want to go into the space to practice today?"

Little Mu Han blinked his bright eyes, thought seriously for a moment, then nodded firmly and said, "Mom, I want to practice, I want to become strong and protect you!"

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) smiled with relief, patted little Mu Han's head, and said, "My baby is really sensible. Let's get ready to go in now."

Little Mu Han stood obediently beside Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li), his eyes full of expectation and determination.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) chanted a spell softly, a ray of light flashed, and the mother and son entered the Yuxiao space to practice.

At this time, An Yi hurried back to the Regent's Mansion and reported, "Your Majesty, the Princess, and the Young Master have found new accommodations."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but his expression remained solemn. He asked, "Do you know where they are exactly? Are the mother and son okay?"

An Yi lowered his head and replied, "Your Highness, in a small courtyard in the southwest of the city, the princess and the young master seem to be doing well."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) stood up and paced back and forth in the study. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Continue to send people to secretly protect him. There must not be any negligence."

An Yi responded, "Yes, Your Majesty. I have made all the arrangements."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) stopped and looked out the window, his eyes deep and distant, muttering to himself: "Li'er, it is I who have let you and your son down..."

An Yi stood quietly by the side, not daring to make a sound to disturb the prince's thoughts. After a while, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) came back to his senses and said, "You go down first. Report any situation immediately."

An Yi retreated respectfully, and the study returned to peace, but Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was still concerned about the mother and son.
