London was even more surprised than she already was, and she was almost caught off guard by Mu Xi Xing's smile because this is the first smile she put on ever since she first entered the room. Mu Xi Xing looks very beautiful but had a look that does not belong to her age; she looked calm and emotionless. However, when Mu Xi Xing smiled just now, her beauty was almost glaring.

After a moment of shock, London finally regained her composure and asked Mu Xi Xing, "Star, do you want to go to YY University to study?"

YY University was the world's leading University.

London then continued, "I am the Princ.i.p.al of YY University, and my husband is the President of YY University Board. As a leader of YY University, I sincerely hope that such a talented individual like you could unleash all your potentials. You may not believe us because of how we were tricked, but believe me, we were tricked only because that person was a very close friend of us for ten years."

Mu Xi Xing looked into London's eyes once again and knows that she is not lying, but she cannot leave her father alone.

"Thank you, but sorry, I cannot leave my father alone. He is sick now, so I have to take care of him." Mu Xi Xing said.

London was going to speak again when there was a knock on the door.

Mu Xi Xing told London that she was going to answer the door and went out to open the door. A solemn man stood in front of the door, but his eyes couldn't hide his worry. Mu Xi Xing asked in a tone of a statement instead of a question, "You are London's husband, right?"

The man's face lit up and replied, "Yes! Yes! Where is she?"

"She is inside." Mu Xi Xing said as she pointed towards the room London was in.

The man dashed towards the room that Mu Xi Xing pointed. When he saw that London was alright, he felt relieved instantly. However, he still checked and asked London if she was alright.

London replied to her husband and when she saw Mu Xi Xing again, she introduced Mu Xi Xing to her husband.

"Husband, this is Star. Star, this is my husband, France."

"Hi, I am France thank you for helping my wife," France thanked Mu Xi Xing.

Mu Xi Xing looked into France's eyes and she was happy that she made the right choice to help them with the contract and research. Both France and London are pure people, they are great leaders for school, but this is also the reason why they were cheated by their friend. She was slightly worried that France would be a bad person, hence she hesitated whether to help them.

"Hi, I am Star, you are welcome." Mu Xi Xing replied.

France turned to London and said worriedly, "Wifey, don't worry about the problem, I will find ways to solve it."

Hearing that, London couldn't wait but tell France about what Mu Xi Xing told her. She immediately told France about the experiment, contract and everything else. The more France hears from his wife, the more elated and shocked he got.

France looked at Mu Xi Xing after London finished talking, then he said excitedly, "Star, thank you so much for helping us. We sincerely wish that you could come to YY University. I know you have your concerns but if you ever change your mind or need help with anything, please contact us."

France handed a note to Mu Xi Xing with their contacts on it.

"We should not trouble you any further, so we will leave first. Once again thank you so much for everything and please do contact us." France said while holding London in his arms out.

Mu Xi Xing saw them off and then she went into her father's room to check out on him. She went to check his pulse and saw that her father, Mu Kang Ning, was sleeping before she returned to her room to read. However, she could not concentrate, she kept thinking about how France and London gave off the fatherly and motherly vibes when they were speaking about their family on the way out.

"Mum...Dad... Where are you..." Mu Xi Xing said in a low murmur.

For the next few weeks, Mu Xi Xing had been taking care of Mu Kang Ning because his illness got worse once again. Mu Kang Ning illness lies with his heart, he carried guilt, pain, and misery in him. However, because he could not untie those knots in his heart, his will to live got lower and lower. Mu Xi Xing kept trying to help Mu Kang Ning, but Mu Kang Ning does not want to tell her about it and refused to receive any treatment. Mu Xi Xing was angry that Mu Kang Ning didn't treat his own life seriously, but she wasn't angry that Mu Kang Ning didn't want her to know about why he is feeling so because his eyes told her that he only wants to keep her safe.

Mu Xi Xing knew that Mu Kang Ning is hiding something from her, and that has to do with her birth parents. Ever since she was three, she knew that Mu Kang Ning had guilt in him. However, at that time, she did not bother to find out why because every day of her life lies between life and death. Her body was extremely weak, and she faints while reading a few times a day. She often gets a fever, and each time she gets a fever; her immune system deteriorates at an alarming rate. It was only until she was seven years old that she realized Mu Kang Ning is not her biological father. She spent a lot of time at home reading and when she was five, she read about how to strengthen her health by practicing martial arts. As her health improved, Mu Kang Ning's health deteriorated. At the age of seven, she asked Mu Kang Ning whether he was her birth father because of Mu Kang Ning's guilt in his eyes, he told her that he isn't and why he brought her here, but he did not say anything else about her parents or her.

"Father Mu...," Ever since Mu Xi Xing knew Mu Kang Ning isn't her birth father, she addressed him as Father Mu, "Why won't you let me help you... I know you are trying to keep me safe, but if you are gone, I would be alone..." Mu Xi Xing said to Mu Kang Ning who was lying on the bed and looked at him with red and teary eyes.
