The next day, just as Xuan Sheng woke up, he heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, there was no one at the door. There was only a box of seafood porridge hanging on the door handle.

Xuan Sheng reached out to take the porridge. It was still steaming. Xuan Sheng casually threw it on the table at the side and shook his head helplessly. “Young girl.”

Lu Li hid at the side. Seeing that Xuan Sheng had taken the porridge away, she secretly came out and hummed a song as she walked downstairs.

Xia Wanyuan had a day of filming today, so Lu Li was waiting at the film studio early.

“Sister Xia ~” Seeing Xia Wanyuan walking over from afar, Lu Li waved at her.

Xia Wanyuan walked over and saw Lu Li’s innocent smile. She immediately felt better. “How did you get here in the morning?”

“I took the bus.” Lu Li handed the printed script to Xia Wanyuan. “Sister Xia, this is the script I received a few days ago. Take a look first.”

Xia Wanyuan took it and her eyes flickered. Although Lu Li did not know anything, she was very serious and willing to learn.

Lu Li read the scripts in her hand seriously first, then sorted out the general points of each script and attached them to the side.

“Lu Li, are you living well in the hotel?” Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked. “I got Chen Yun to help you find a few houses. Do you want to take a look?”

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand. “No need, no need. I’ll live there quite well.”

“Can’t you live alone? You can even cook and eat by yourself. It’s not healthy to eat takeout every day.”

“It’s okay, Sister Xia. I’m fine living there.” Lu Li’s ears suddenly turned red.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the tips of Lu Li’s red ears. “How does Xuan Sheng treat you?”

As expected, the redness at the tip of Lu Li’s ears quickly spread to her entire face. Lu Li lowered her head and blinked. “Pretty good.”

Lu Li’s reaction was too obvious. How could Xia Wanyuan not tell? However, she knew that Lu Li was thin-skinned, so she did not say anything else. “Mm.”

In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng was already able to stand up on his own. Wei Jin accompanied him and slowly did rehabilitation training.

“Ah Jin, I don’t have any strength. Hold me more.” Mu Feng hugged Wei Jin’s waist and could not help but sigh in his heart. How could my wife’s waist be so thin?

Wei Jin’s face flushed red. “When I didn’t help you just now, you walked quite well yourself. Why do you have no strength when I help you?”

“Didn’t I lose my strength when I saw you?” Mu Feng took the opportunity to lean his head on Wei Jin’s shoulder. “Aiyo, I’m dizzy. Jin, do I need CPR?”

“If you continue like this, I won’t come!” Wei Jin wanted to push Mu Feng away angrily, but she could only suppress her anger because of Mu Feng’s health.

The more Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin, the more he wanted to tease her. He looked at Wei Jin’s beautiful eyes and was happy. “Ah Jin, can I kiss you?”

Wei Jin was embarrassed. “No.”

Mu Feng rubbed against her shoulder. “We’ve registered our marriage. If you don’t let me kiss you, give me a reason.”

Wei Jin pursed her lips. “Anyway, you can’t.”

Mu Feng smiled and suddenly pointed out of the window. “Look at what bird that is.”

Wei Jin looked in the direction he was pointing. There was a magpie standing outside. “It’s a mag-.”

Before she could finish speaking, a hint of heat landed on her lips. In front of her was Mu Feng’s enlarged eyebrows.

“You!” Wei Jin subconsciously opened her mouth to speak, but Mu Feng slipped in. “Ah Jin, close your eyes.”

Mu Feng’s actions were very gentle. He slowly wrapped himself around Wei Jin and tasted her sweetness.

Just as Wei Jin was feeling emotional, the ward door was suddenly pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. “It’s broad daylight. Ridiculous!”

Mu Feng retreated from Wei Jin’s lips and protected her behind him. He frowned and looked at the door. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m your father. Why do you think I’m here?” Mu Ting looked at Mu Feng unhappily and then at Wei Jin, who was protected by Mu Feng. “You’ve grown up. You took advantage of my absence to register your marriage with someone else. Do you still have me in your eyes?”

“Hubby, calm down.” Zhang Yi held Mu Ting’s arm and gently breathed on his chest. She glanced at Mu Feng. “Mu Feng, look how concerned your father is about you. As soon as he returned to China, he heard that you were sick and came to visit you. Don’t make your father angry.”

“Hmph, he’s an unfilial son. Other than making me angry, what else does he know?!” Mu Ting looked at Mu Feng hatefully. Seeing Mu Feng’s disdainful expression, he was even angrier.

Wei Jin stood up from behind Mu Feng and called Mu Ting “Father”. After all, he was Mu Feng’s father and she should greet him.

“I can’t afford to be called father by you. Our Mu family is a prestigious family. I’ve never seen anyone marry in secretly.” Mu Ting could not do anything to Mu Feng, but he could vent his anger on others.

Mu Feng stood up and held Wei Jin’s hand. “Stop acting like a senior in front of me. Wei Jin is my wife, the mistress of the Mu family. If you scold her, ask me if I agree first.”

With that, Mu Feng made a call. Not long after, the bodyguards arrived at the ward.

Mu Ting looked at the way he chased him away and was instantly angry. “Unfilial son!”

Mu Feng ignored Mu Ting and closed the door.

Zhang Yi held Mu Ting’s arm and helped him calm down while sighing. “Sigh, Hubby, I heard that Father has already agreed to hand the power of the Mu family to Mu Feng. This child has such a bad temper. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to let him control the family now, right?”

“What?!” Mu Ting’s eyes widened. I’m not dead yet! Now, Mu Feng wants to obtain power?! 

Zhang Yi sighed. “Sigh, it’s all that Wei Jin’s fault. If not for her, Mu Feng wouldn’t be so radical. Although this child was also rebellious in the past, when did he ever speak to you so aggressively? He didn’t even care about his father-son relationship with you.”

“Hmph, no one can enter the Mu family without my approval!” Mu Ting was angered by Zhang Yi’s words. He was the head of the Mu family. Without his permission, no one could enter.

Seeing Mu Ting’s angry expression, the corners of Zhang Yi’s lips curled up.

The sky gradually darkened. Xia Wanyuan had finished filming for the day. Lu Li walked forward and handed the warm grapefruit water to Xia Wanyuan. “Sister Xia, you acted so well. I can’t tell if it’s acting or reality.”

Just now, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a crown. When she sat on the high seat, Lu Li’s legs subconsciously went limp, as if she had really seen the queen who controlled life and death.

Xia Wanyuan took a sip of water. “You’ve worked hard today. Go home and rest early.”

“Mm!” Lu Li nodded and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

In the vast international waters of Continent M, Yu Qian leaned against the piano and was aimlessly hitting the keys.

Jayce walked in and bowed respectfully. “Boss, the Chinese operation has begun to close the net.”

Yu Qian waved his hand. “Do as you deem fit.”

Jayce was puzzled. Do as I deem fit for something so important? However, he did not dare to refute Yu Qian’s words and could only lower his head and agree.

Jayce left the room. Yu Qian pressed the piano keys casually.

He had known from the beginning that China operation would fail. It made no difference who he handed it to.

He had planned such a large event just to confirm some things. As for how many people had died and how many threads had been lost, it did not matter to him.
