After showering, Mu Chen carefully dried every strand of Wen Shu's hair with a hairdryer, ensuring not a single drop of water remained. He turned off the room lights, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. Then, he gently lifted Wen Shu from behind and carefully placed her on the soft bed. Over the next few hours, the once-neat sheets became wrinkled and crumpled, bearing witness to their passionate night. The blankets were also scattered haphazardly, half lying on the floor and the other half casually covering them, as if a testament to their passion.

The next day, Wen Shu got up as usual, tidied herself up, and prepared to go back to work. She walked into the company and went straight to the human resources department. In the HR office, she calmly submitted her resignation. She assured the HR manager that although she was leaving, she would finish her work and ensure it wouldn't affect the company's schedule. The HR manager was very sorry to hear this, saying it was a real pity to lose such a talented person. They knew Wen Shu was very capable, and her departure was undoubtedly a loss for the company. However, the HR manager also understood that someone as capable as Wen Shu was bound to go solo sooner or later. They could only wish her all the best in her future endeavors and hope she would continue to shine in her new field.

In the afternoon, Wen Shu bought flowers and went to the hospital to visit A ​​Hua. A Hua looked to be in good spirits and her fever had subsided, but her back was itchy. The two chatted, and Wen Shu suggested that A Hua get her eyebrows done when she felt better, as her eyebrows were affecting her fortune. A Hua agreed, as Wen Shu wasn't the only one who made this suggestion.

As dinner time approached, Wen Shu returned to the manor and saw that red silk was being decorated. Butler Zhu respectfully told Wen Shu that with the end of the year approaching, the courtyard should be filled with joy. Even the lions at the gate were covered with big red flowers, making it very lively.

Wen Shu stepped lightly into the room, greeted by a festive red decoration. Various paper-cut window decorations were carefully pasted on the windows, and large "福" (good fortune) characters were neatly arranged in every corner, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Mu Chen, having finished his busy work, returned to this loving manor, eager to find Wen Shu and share the day's fatigue and joy with her. At this tender moment, a call from the lawyer broke the tranquility. He told Mu Chen that the thorny issue concerning Wen Chu had finally been resolved satisfactorily. Wen Chu not only received the compensation she deserved, but the person who had hurt her—You Chuan—had also been punished by law and sentenced accordingly. The lawyer added that the compensation money had been transferred to Mu Chen's mobile account, and he must check and confirm it.

Upon hearing the good news, Mu Chen smiled with relief and immediately shared it with Wen Shu. Wen Shu listened, pondered for a moment, and felt a sense of comfort. She knew that justice, though delayed, had not been denied. The bad guys had received their due punishment, and Wen Chu could finally rest easy.

Meanwhile, Aunt Hu busily served the carefully prepared meal to the table. Mu Chen and Wen Shu sat down and enjoyed this loving dinner. After dinner, Wen Shu returned to her bedroom, picked up a book, and continued practicing her little magic. Mu Chen, on the other hand, returned to his study to continue handling work matters, working overtime until late at night. Despite the heavy workload, the thought of Wen Shu and the warm atmosphere at the manor filled Mu Chen with strength and hope.

Mu Chen gently pushed open the bedroom door. Soft moonlight filled the room, filtering through the curtains and falling on Wen Shu's sleeping face. Her breathing was even and calm, her long eyelashes casting delicate shadows beneath her eyelids, making her appear exceptionally peaceful. Mu Chen stood by the bed, gazing at her tenderly, a surge of indescribable affection welling up within him.

He carefully moved to the other side of the bed, afraid that his movements might disturb Wen Shu's sweet dreams. Mu Chen gently turned off the bedside lamp, and the room was immediately plunged into a soft darkness. He gently lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down quietly, afraid that his movements might disturb Wen Shu's sleep.

Mu Chen lay on his side, his gaze still fixed on Wen Shu. He tried to control his breathing, making it soft and slow, so as not to make any sound that might disturb Wen Shu. Mu Chen's heart was filled with love and care for Wen Shu, and he hoped that she could have a peaceful and beautiful night.

The only sounds in the room were their breathing and the occasional rustle of the night breeze through the curtains. Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes. Although his heart was filled with longing and love for Wen Shu, he knew that at this moment, letting Wen Shu rest was the most important thing. He silently made a wish, hoping that every night could be spent in such peace and warmth.

Wen Shu stepped into the company's doors again, her heart filled with complex emotions. Since deciding to resign, she had devoted all her time and energy to the work of cultural relic restoration. She worked overtime every day, striving to complete the remaining restoration work on hand.

Wen Shu's fingers danced deftly between the restoration tools and the artifacts, carefully tending to every crack and every detail. She knew all too well that these artifacts bore the marks of history, each one unique, and she had to treat them with the utmost professionalism. During the restoration process, she often immersed herself in those ancient stories, as if traveling through time and conversing with the ancients.

However, as night fell, Wen Shu dragged her exhausted body home. She was too tired to even eat, wanting only to collapse onto the bed and fall into a deep sleep. Mu Chen watched her work so hard every day, his heart filled with heartache. He knew Wen Shu was a strong girl, but he saw her exhaustion and the pressure she was under, and it pained him deeply. He hoped that Wen Shu could finish this busy period and then give herself a proper rest.

Aunt Hu started trying to prepare some nutritious dinners for Wen Shu, hoping that she could at least eat healthily amidst her busy schedule. Mu Chen would also prepare hot water for Wen Shu before she returned home, so that she could take a comfortable hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the day. Whenever Wen Shu saw the carefully prepared meals by Aunt Hu on the dining table, a warm feeling would always well up in her heart. She knew that no matter how busy or tired she was, there was always a warm home waiting for her.

Wen Shu understood that this situation wouldn't last long. She planned to take a long vacation after finishing her work.

Fortunately, after being busy for half a month, it finally came to an end. Wen Shu resigned, and Mu Chen booked his plane tickets to the resort.
