Of course, one would feel happy upon hearing that she looked young. Yun Bixue was turning one year older soon, but someone had said that she looked like a high school student. Her heart naturally felt sweet.

Tian Xiaojuan continued, "Bixue, you should believe me. I wanted to address you as "Elder Sister Yun initially, but it sounds so awkward. I may only be eighteen years old, but I think you look more like a fresh university student that I do."

Yun Bixue pinched Tian Xiaojuan's adorable round cheeks. "I should carry a backpack one day and pretend to be a high school student."

"Haha! Then you'll definitely charm all the boys."

Giggles and laughter erupted along the streets, and Yun Bixue thought of what had happened when she was in Ning An City with Bai Yaoyao. Back then, she had truly been mistaken as a high school student!

Thinking of Bai Yaoyao, Yun Bixue had no clue how her friend was doing. Truthfully, she felt rather concerned.

Before Yun Bixue could become distracted, she heard Tian Xiaojuan and Lu Maimai hurrying her.

She smiled and caught up with them.

The three of them had a blast the entire afternoon. They had a buffet for lunch, and the three ladies ate freely. The owner of the buffet restaurant was also surprised to see the amount of food on their table.

As she played with the two ladies, Yun Bixue also felt much younger. Unknowingly, she had also forgotten about her worries, as she wore a bright smile on her face.

Somewhere else, Xie Wu reported to Xie Limo, and the latter looked relieved too.

Xie Limo looked at the radiant smile on Yun Bixue's face, and an indulgent glint flashed across his exquisite eyes. As long as she was happy, he would be too.

Actually, the things that he was doing in the afternoon were not important at all. He had just come up with this excuse so that she could have fun.

She had been so solemn the entire morning, and he had seen it all. How could he bear to let her frown all day long?

He realized that women and men were rather different. Women should go out and have fun with their friends so that they could cheer up.

Later, Yun Bixue carried several bags of items home. When Tian Xiaojuan drove and sent her back to the villa, she could see a room lit up beneath the night sky.

She knew that someone was waiting for her at home, so she walked inside happily.

When she opened the door, Xie Limo heard it immediately and walked over hurriedly. Picking up the bags in Yun Bixue's hands, he asked, "Did you have fun?"

Yun Bixue hugged Xie Limo's neck and wrapped herself around his body, as though she were a koala bear. "Guess what I bought today?"

Xie Limo noticed the apparent joy in her words and chuckled. "I cannot read my wife's mind. I don't know what you bought."

"It's very obvious."

Seeing Yun Bixue pout, Xie Limo quickly replied, "New years' clothes."

"So clever. I shall reward you with a kiss."

Xie Limo held the back of Yun Bixue's head and kissed her intently. Her joy tonight had infected him. He had also been worn out by last night's ammunition incident, but his exhaustion had been relieved now.

That night, Yun Bixue made Xie Limo try on the new clothes. Even though Yun Bixue was the only one speaking, the house was still filled with warmth and happiness.

Because the new year was arriving very soon, the news on the explosion at the harbor had been covered by the festivities. Everyone's attention focused on the clothes that were on sale, the shops that offered discounts, and also the guests invited to the new year's party.

Although that night's news had been washed away from everyone's minds, Xie Wu and Xie Liu were still looking for clues.
