Having left the apartment, Kuang Ye returned to his car and spent a while calming his body, which was still burning with desire. He hit the steering wheel irritably. The normal course of events tonight should have been for him and Mu Wan to be together in a room, saying a warm good night, and the next morning, he would wake up early to make her a loving breakfast.
But he had underestimated Mu Wan’s power over him. If he hadn’t stopped himself earlier, one kiss could have led to more, and he wasn’t sure if he could hold back, especially considering Mu Wan was wearing his clothes—his shirt, his pants.
He shook his head wildly, trying to shake off the chaotic thoughts inside his mind.

The next day at noon, a groggy Mu Wan, who had been in a deep sleep, heard a knock at the door. She sleepily got up, her hair messy, and went to open it. As expected, it was Kuang Ye. He was holding two bags—one with a change of clothes for Mu Wan and the other with lunch for her.
“The sun’s high, miss. Go wash up and come out for lunch!”
After a night—and, well, an entire morning—the lingering atmosphere of the night was washed away by the bright daylight. Mu Wan decided not to mention what happened last night but couldn’t help but give Kuang Ye a glare.
“What did you bring to eat?”
“Drunken Crab, Crystal Shrimp, Eight-Treasure Duck, and your favorite dim sum from Wu Fang Zhai,” Kuang Ye replied.
Just hearing the names made Mu Wan’s taste buds come alive. These were all her favorites. She quickly went to wash her face and brush her teeth, then took a quick shower before preparing to put on the clothes Kuang Ye had brought. But when she opened the bag, she realized he had also bought her a set of lingerie.
Mu Wan’s face immediately turned bright red. How did he think to buy this too?!
Although she had hurried over yesterday and didn’t have any other clean underwear, she had still been wearing the same pair from the day before. But who wears unwashed lingerie?
Mu Wan was torn. Was it worse to wear the dirty underwear or the new ones? After hesitating for a while, she finally chose the new ones. Even though they might not be completely clean, at least they weren’t dirty in front of her.
When she put them on, she realized that not only were the panties fine, but the bra fit perfectly as well. Her mood became somewhat complicated. How did he know her lingerie size?
“Are you moving in this afternoon? Do you need help?”
During lunch, Kuang Ye asked Mu Wan. She nodded and then shook her head. “I’ll move in this afternoon. No need for help, just bringing some daily necessities. Uncle Liu will help me.” Uncle Liu had been the driver for the Mu family for more than ten years, so he had watched Mu Wan grow up, and their relationship was always close.
Kuang Ye nodded. Then he noticed Mu Wan glancing at him from time to time with a somewhat strange expression, but when he looked back at her, she quickly turned away.
Kuang Ye: “?”
Mu Wan lowered her head and continued eating. Forget it, talking about lingerie sizes at noon was just too embarrassing.

In the afternoon, Mu Wan went back to the villa to tidy up, then returned to the apartment with two suitcases and a violin case. Afterward, she went to see Kuang Xingran.
She said, “I didn’t go home last night. Tell Mom and Dad I stayed at your place. Don’t spill the beans.”
Kuang Xingran immediately looked intrigued. “You didn’t go home last night? Did you taste Kuang Ye’s body?”
Mu Wan: “…You’re vulgar.”
Kuang Xingran: “What’s vulgar about it? You two are already engaged. Even if you did sleep together, what’s wrong with that?”
Mu Wan was speechless. “Didn’t you used to dislike me being with Kuang Ye? Now you’re gossiping about when we slept together?”
Kuang Xingran, the queen of savage remarks, replied: “Physical pleasure has nothing to do with like or dislike.”
Mu Wan patted her head and, in a tone as if she had been cursed by Kuang Ye, said with sorrow, “While I was abroad these years, were you hurt by someone?”
Kuang Xingran’s eyes flashed, but in the next second, her expression returned to calm. “Hurt? Just kidding. I’ve been through the flowers, but no leaves stick to me. Who could hurt me?”
Mu Wan thought about it. Although they had been abroad, they had stayed in touch through their phones, so if Kuang Xingran had been hurt emotionally, she would have known.
“By the way, Wanwan, did you block Brother Shuyu? He called me and asked what you’ve been up to lately.”
Mu Wan’s expression grew serious as she looked at Kuang Xingran. “Xingran, don’t get involved in my relationship with Kuang Shuyu.” She knew that Kuang Xingran had a closer relationship with Kuang Shuyu than with Kuang Ye. But she could never be with Kuang Shuyu, and she didn’t want that to affect her relationship with Xingran.
Seeing Mu Wan’s serious tone, Kuang Xingran dropped her intentions of acting as a mediator for Kuang Shuyu. She grabbed Mu Wan’s hand.
“Although I don’t like Kuang Ye, no matter who you’re with, you’ll always be my sister-in-law. We’ll be good friends for life.”
Mu Wan’s eyes softened. “Alright, good friends for life.”
