Coming out of the bathtub, Qiao Muyuan dried her hair and wore a strappy champagne silk nightgown.

She walked around the bedroom with her bare feet on the soft carpet.

She opened the wine cabinet, dug out a bottle of old red wine, and sat alone on the balcony of the bedroom, drinking while looking at the night view outside the window.

The coat she wore in the evening was still hanging on the hanger. As she passed by, she took out the photos from her pocket.

The pixels of the candid photos were very low, so others might not be able to recognize Ji Changmu, but she did... She would recognize Ji Changmu no matter what he looked like.

She didn't want anyone to know the existence of these photos, so she took out a lighter and lit the photos on fire.

Several photos quickly turned to ashes.

Qiao Muyuan stepped on the carpet and entered the balcony.

She opened a bottle of wine, poured herself a glass of wine, and looked lonely at the boundless sky outside the window.

The night is like ink, like a huge thing.

The moon did not come out tonight, only the lights in the villa area were on, like stars in the sky, bright and clear.

…

There was no class the next day, so Qiao Muyuan didn't go downstairs until after nine o'clock in the morning.

She didn't even change her clothes. She came down wearing pajamas and a knitted jacket.

After simply eating a bowl of noodles, she sat by the window with her fur ball in her arms, watching Pete playing in the yard.

Pete is really naughty. He plays with himself and has a great time chasing a small rubber ball.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain heavily.

Tao Wenxing cut a plate of fruit for Qiao Muyuan: "Miss, eat some fruit. Do you want some tea?"

Qiao Muyuan shook his head: "Uncle Tao, no need."

"Miss, when do you plan to return to China? Should you go back to the capital first or go to Qiongzhou first?"

"There is no one at home in Beijing...my parents are still on a business trip abroad. Qiongzhou...he didn't seem to say he would welcome me there."

"Silly girl, he is your husband, how come he doesn't welcome you over?"

"He is very busy...Uncle Tao, you don't know, it doesn't matter how much I make trouble with him when he is in a good temper and in a good mood. Once his temper suddenly becomes bad, everything I do will be wrong."

"Mr. Keji is not in a bad mood."

"Yeah..." Qiao Muyuan couldn't be sure, but she felt that her intuition was very accurate. Ji Changmu must not be in a good mood during this period.

Maybe it's because of work, maybe it's because of trivial matters.

"Miss, if you go to Qiongzhou to surprise him, he will be very happy. And didn't we agree last time that we would go there after the Christmas holiday?"

"Does he really want to see me?"

"Miss, what's wrong? Why do you say that?" Tao Wenxing was very confused. The eldest daughter was prone to random thoughts because she was sick some time ago, but now she can't even think about anything even if she is fine.

"No, I was just talking nonsense." Qiao Muyuan lowered his head to eat the fruit in the fruit plate and almost spilled the beans.

She knew that Uncle Tao was also very smart. Although Uncle Tao did not interfere in her personal affairs, he was experienced and could see everything clearly.

Sure enough, Tao Wenxing didn't ask any more questions. He had always been measured.

After a while, Qiao Muyuan said calmly: "How about... go to Qiongzhou, I miss him very much."

"Okay, do you want to buy a ticket for tomorrow?"

"Just buy it for tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

"Thank you, Uncle Tao."

Qiao Muyuan was alone again on the sofa. She held the kitten in her arms and turned to look at the dark cloudy sky outside.
