Hearing her own parents’ words, Zheng Xiaoshu understood the meaning behind it. As a century-old noble family, the education she received was different. She knew the significance behind Zheng family’s continued survival and that personal sacrifice was expected if it was for the greater good of the family.

Furthermore, she knew that Young Master Xie was an incredibly magnificent person, so of course she would be willing.

This was a good chance for her as well. Her parents would spend the remaining strength of the family to help her pull strings and create chances, so she must do her best to secure this opportunity.

Right now, who in Ning An City wasn’t envious of Yun Bixue? Everyone knew about the Yun family’s past—they were in the bottom with Yun Bixue being abandoned. A lot of people thought that if it weren’t for Young Master Xie, Yun Bixue wouldn’t be enjoying her happy life right now.

“Father, mother. I am willing and I will try my best to help.”

“You’re the best daughter we could’ve asked for. Don’t worry, your sacrifice for the family will be remembered. When Zheng family prospers, half of it will be credited to you. When you marry, Father will use half of Zheng family’s wealth as your dowry.” Master Zheng was excited. He felt that his daughter was the most beautiful and most talented girl. If she willingly cooperated, coupled with him pulling the strings behind the scenes, their plan would surely succeed.

After calculating, Master Zheng started bribing some people for help. However, it was more difficult than he had initially thought. People who knew insider information were not very willing to interfere with the two noble families. On the other hand, those people who didn’t know any insider information saw the consequences of Shen family’s mistake, so they were also not willing to join their clique.

Master Zheng used a lot of his wealth to prepare for this, so much so that it felt like a life-and-death situation.

He knew that there was a need to accomplish the task before Young Master Xie took action. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a shell of Zheng family left behind.

Everyone knew how much Young Master Xie adored his wife. That was why one could afford to offend anyone except for Miss Yun. This time, both their families—Zheng and Du family—were corrupted by ambition.

Who would have thought that even with all the men of sacrifice from two noble families, they would still be unable to kill just one woman!

…

Yun Bixue did not know that the Du and Zheng families were scheming behind the scenes. She was in a rush to return and seeing that she was about to reach home, a fluttery feeling rose in her heart. It was nice to have a home. It was like an anchor—there was no longer a need to float around with nowhere to go.

Yun Bixue saw Xie Limo’s figure once the car passed the entrance of the villa. He was still so elegant and alluring.

Without understanding why, Yun Bixue’s heart ached a little the moment she saw him. The suppressed longing for him threatened to overflow from within her.

Xie Limo stepped forward to open the door, offering his hand to Yun Bixue. “My dear, you’re back.”

With just this few words, tears started welling up in Yun Bixue’s eyes. She nodded furiously before forcing out a smile. “I’m back. I’m home.”

Xie Limo brought Yun Bixue out of the car before pulling her into a tight embrace.

Yun Bixue closed her eyes and laid comfortably in the arms of Xie Limo. Any form of pretense was abandoned in that moment. She knew that in his arms, she could return to just being a woman, not having a single thing to worry or think about. He was her pillar of support, capable of holding the weight of the entire world for her.

No one disturbed the two of them. After a long moment of hugging, Xie Limo released Yun Bixue and looked at her. Patting her head in affection, he said with a voice tinged with heartache, “You got thinner. Did you not eat well because of my absence? There’s no need for you to be so busy—to work this hard.”

Yun Bixue’s eyes glistened before replying softly, “Only when I’m busy I can stop missing you.”

Xie Limo’s heart skipped a beat. Holding Yun Bixue’s hand tightly, he spoke clearly, “Let’s go inside. Look at the presents I got for you.”
