Mu Yefan stood outside for an entire night. It wasn't until dawn broke that the rain finally stopped. The people who woke up early in the morning were all extremely curious as they looked at Mu Yefan who was standing in a sorry state at the entrance of the alley. Only Mu Yefan knew how sad he was feeling right now, and the only thing he wanted to do was to save Bai Yixuan.

The restaurant was already open for business, and because it was still too early, there were no guests. When Mu Yefan saw Qin Hai coming out, he wanted to rush out and ask Qin Hai how he was doing and why he did not come out of the restaurant for the entire night. The rain made Mu Yefan's body feel cold, and he struggled even a little.

Mu Yefan suddenly did not have the courage anymore.

When Bai Yixuan woke up in the morning, she did not feel a headache. Presumably, Xiao Ziyi's hangover soup had worked, and after staying in the tavern for an entire night, she did not know if his family would be worried. However, she believed that Qin Hai was also a meticulous person, and would definitely inform his family.

It was the restaurant's messenger, Xiao Qing, knock on the door. When Bai Yixuan said enter, the little girl pushed the door and entered happily.

"Master, you've finally woken up. Young Master Xiao has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Xiao Ziyi still hasn't left?" Bai Yixuan was surprised.

"The rain last night was really heavy. Young Master Xiao stayed in our restaurant and personally made porridge for Miss. I was waiting for you to go down."

Bai Yixuan raised her eyebrows, "I got it, I'll be going down in a while."

In fact, what Bai Yixuan was thinking in her heart was, wasn't the porridge that Xiao Ziyi made really edible? These rich and powerful families' children were all probably the same as Mu Yefan.

Thinking about Mu Yefan, Bai Yixuan sighed, why didn't she know that she was such a romantic person in the past, how could she think about this Mu Yefan all of the time?

Bai Yixuan packed up and went out, and sure enough, shshesaw Xiao Ziyi sitting on the first floor waiting for him, and when she saw him come down, he immediately came over, "Xiao Bai, you slept for a really long time."

Bai Yixuan looked out the window at the sun and said, "It's indeed a little long, but haven't I heard a single word?

Xiao Ziyi felt that he would always hear some words that he had never heard before from Bai Yixuan, but he had always given Bai Yixuan face before, so he immediately nodded his head, "This word is not bad, then whether or not we can eat is a blessing, I personally made this breakfast for you."

Qin Hai giggled from the side, and after Bai Yixuan gave him a glare, he obediently went to settle the score. He had no idea what was going through Qin Hai's mind just now.

Bai Yixuan sat down beside Xiao Ziyi, and started to look at the dishes on the table, "Ziyi, did you make all of this?"

"What's wrong? I haven't done it in a long time. I'm indeed a bit new to it."

"Why can a young master from the Prime Minister's Estate cook?"

Xiao Ziyi laughed, "Even though I grew up in the General's Estate as a child, I still went to do business after that. When I first started, my father was especially against it, and at that time, he didn't bring anyone with him, I could only support myself.

"I never thought that the story of the renowned Young Master Xiao would actually be so exciting. In that case, your cooking should be pretty good, right?"

"Not really, at least compared to you, Xiao Bai, it's still far too lacking."

Bai Yixuan laughed, "You can't compare yourself to me in this kind of thing, but I feel that it's already very good. Furthermore, there's a phrase that goes like 'gentleman goes to the kitchen to get rid of others'."

Xiao Ziyi said, "When I'm hungry, I don't know what kind of gentleman would go to the kitchen to cut apart others, and this matter is suitable for elegant people to do. I'm not a rich person to begin with, but living in this kind of family would be letting down my father."

"Don't worry, this is good, I like it." Xiao Ziyi had already reached out his spoon to eat the porridge Xiao Ziyi had made. The taste was indeed good, Xiao Ziyi seemed to be very happy to see him eating, and kept smiling idiotically, as it really affected the atmosphere, "Ziyi, you keep looking at me, can it be that you're full?"

Xiao Ziyi nodded his head, "The ancient people say that beauties can be eaten."

"Only you can speak." Bai Yixuan was speechless, after familiarizing with it, Xiao Ziyi's words were extremely glib.

After Bai Yixuan finished eating, she spoke a few more things about business with Qin Hai before preparing to return home. After all, he did not return at night, so she had to hurry back to save her family's worries.

"Xiao Bai, let me send you back. I happen to be fine as well."

Bai Yixuan did not refuse, she looked at Xiao Ziyi with a complicated gaze, but still nodded with a smile. She did not know how to repay the debt she owed Xiao Ziyi.

At that time, Bai Yixuan had chosen to be the latter. She said that if she didn't like him, then living with such a person for a lifetime would be very painful for her. At that time, Bai Yixuan didn't understand what her grandfather meant, but the current Bai Yixuan could understand.

Mu Yefan had already been waiting outside for a long time, but just as he was about to enter, the door suddenly opened, and Mu Yefan saw a brilliant smile on Bai Yixuan's face. It had been a long time since he last saw Bai Yixuan smiling so happily, and Bai Yixuan's expression was so sad when facing him.

Mu Yefan knew that it was all because of him that he was troubled by Bai Yixuan. But now, who was the one who made Bai Yixuan laugh so happily?

The person that came out immediately let Mu Yefan know the answer, it was actually Xiao Ziyi. Last night, he really had seen someone enter the restaurant and not come out, but he did not care about it at all, and now, it seems like it was Xiao Ziyi.

The relationship between the two of them was really good, to be able to make Xiao Ziyi go and find Bai Yixuan all night, and even not return for a whole night, Xiao Ziyi always looked like a modest gentleman. Bai Yixuan lowered her head and said something to Xiao Ziyi, but did not notice him at all.

However, Mu Yefan knew that he had no reason to question Bai Yixuan. In the end, it was his fault, so what right did he have to ask Bai Yixuan that question?

The two of them walked towards their direction. Mu Yefan heard the content of their conversation clearly, what Bai Yixuan said was, "Ziyi, if I beg one thing in the future, will you agree to my request?"

Xiao Ziyi was a little surprised, he did not expect Bai Yixuan to ask him for help, but he still nodded immediately and replied, "Of course I agree, there is a phrase that goes, a soldier dies because of his or her friend."

"It's not that serious. If I can't get married in the future, why don't you marry me …"

Xiao Ziyi was stunned in place.

Mu Yefan felt that his blood had already cooled down to his feet. His hearing was originally extremely good, but at this moment, he was trying really hard to hear what Bai Yixuan was saying, and he actually heard it.

It was because of Xiao Ziyi's appearance, that caused Mu Yefan's anger to burn even hotter, but because of Bai Yixuan's words, all of the hot blood turned into an ice-cold feeling. The kind of cold energy that started to come out from the heart, caused Mu Yefan to feel as if his flesh and blood had turned into ice.

Bai Yixuan was already finding a way out for herself, had she forgotten all about what she had said before? Mu Yefan did not believe that Bai Yixuan could really forget about herself, he felt that all of this was Bai Yixuan's lie.

Xiao Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed out, "That is my honor."

The two sped up their pace, not seeing Mu Yefan at the side. Due to the shock from their bodies and hearts, Mu Yefan was on the verge of collapse, but he still clenched his fists tightly, wanting to differentiate whether everything was real or not.

The rain had already dried up, but Mu Yefan's face was frighteningly pale. If one looked carefully, one would see that he was a dead man, without even the slightest bit of vitality.

Mu Yefan felt that there was a smell of blood in his throat, and then, without any warning, he started to cough.

The person he liked told another person that after marrying him, the person he had liked for so long had just heartlessly left him. What did he have left him with now?

Bai Yixuan naturally did not know what had happened with Mu Yefan, and only looked at Xiao Ziyi's serious face and laughed, "Don't you feel that it's unfair?"

"Why?"

"I don't like you, but you make such an impolite request."

Xiao Ziyi laughed, "I actually think that Xiao Bai's words are even more hurtful."

Bai Yixuan said embarrassedly, "I'm already used to people like me, and I don't know how to speak in a gentle manner. But I feel that it's good to do this though, at least I can find out if the people around me are sincere or if they will leave me just because of my truth."

"Xiao Bai, I'm serious about what you said just now. If there really comes a day like that, I will definitely marry you."

"Then let's do it this way. If no one really wants me, then there's still you."

Xiao Shunzi felt that ever since Mu Haolin came to recognize him, his mood had started to change from good to bad, to the point where Xiao Shunzi was originally at a loss with regards to what he was doing, but these things did not affect Xiao Shunzi's service to him.

One day, after Mu Haolin had finished reviewing the memorials, he actually started to talk about random things with Xiao Shunzi, at least Xiao Shunzi thought that he wouldn't be able to understand it.

"Xiao Shunzi, do you know He Ling?"

Xiao Shunzi naturally did not know the name of First Emperor's Empress, so he honestly shook his head.

"That's true. You definitely don't know. It's precisely because you don't know that I need to tell you about it."

Xiao Shunzi nodded, and did not dare to speak. Mu Haolin had already continued, "Royal Brother and I were childhood friends with Ling Er, but I always knew that Ling Er liked me, and no matter what good stuff she had, Ling Er would be the first one to think of me. My relationship with her has always been very good, and if not for Royal Brother, I would have definitely thought that Ling Er was my empress now.

Xiao Shunzi was so scared that he did not dare say more, and could only stand quietly by the side, he looked around, and confirmed that other than him and Mu Haolin, there was no one else.

Mu Haolin continued to speak, "Ling Er did not blame me, I thought that this would cause a huge commotion, and when my Royal Brother found out that Ling Er was not a complete person, she would come to find me to settle scores, but she did not, because after Ling Er entered the crown prince's mansion, the Royal Brother actually treated her extremely well, and Ling Er had always refused to see me. After my Royal Brother ascended to the throne, that was the last time I spoke to Ling Er, and I still could not hold it in.
