The bright sun shone on the snow-white walls, causing the originally white walls to be covered by a faint layer of light.

  It was the morning of a weekend. Logically speaking, it was the perfect time to relax and have fun, but the people in this majestic and empty mansion were incredibly tense during this weekend.

  There was no other reason for it. Their master, the owner of this large mansion… was behaving too oddly today!

  The old butler watched as his young master sat still on the couch in the living room as he read the newspaper after he woke up. He felt that this situation was incredibly familiar.

  A few months ago, the young master had also acted as abnormally as he was now. He did nothing in the morning and just remained in the living room in the mansion while he held a newspaper in his hands. He even read it for a few hours.

  The young master might be holding the newspaper in his hands, but his mind had already wandered somewhere far from here.

  This sort of image did not suit his young master, who was supposed to have planned for everything and was fully confident in everything he did.

  Could it be that the young master ran into something that troubled him greatly? The butler and some of the servants who were serving him thought about this simultaneously.

  But soon, the old butler remembered that the last time Mu Tingfeng acted so abnormally was related to the president’s ex-wife.

  Apparently, the young master had started courting the madam again. Could it be that the young master’s abnormal behavior this time was also related to the madam? But…


  The old butler cast a glance at Mu Tingfeng, who was near him. The last time the young master stayed at home, he made others feel that he was really stressed, but there was also a strange sort of longing about him. Even though it was a little scary, it was acceptable.

  But this time, the young master gave off an air of joy and pride that he did not even bother to hide. Even the aura he gave off was a little sickeningly sweet.

  This caused the people who were used to Mu Tingfeng’s cool, domineering, and icy persona to feel an indescribable sense of fear, especially when he…


  Mu Tingfeng shook the newspaper in his hands and cast a glance at the old butler, who came over with a cup of tea. He cleared his tea and asked, “Butler, were you the one who took care of Youlin while she was here?”


  The butler was stunned for a moment before he wrapped his head around the question, though it took a long time before he was able to puzzle out that the Youlin Mu Tingfeng spoke of was their previous madam.

  The old butler was puzzled as to why Mu Tingfeng suddenly asked this question, but he still nodded respectfully and answered, “Indeed.”


  Mu Tingfeng sank into deep thought for a while before he asked, “Do you know of Youlin’s tastes?”


  The old butler became even more puzzled. Why was the young master suddenly so concerned about the madam’s preferences in food?

  “The madam prefers spicy and sour food.”


  “Spicy and sour?” Mu Tingfeng pondered over this before he seemed to have remembered something. His expression turned slightly grave. “Were these her preferences before she attempted to commit suicide?”


  The old butler was stunned before he nodded at a loss.

  “What about after the suicide attempt?”


  The bewilderment on the old butler’s face grew more prominent. Why did he distinguish between her tastes before and after she attempted to commit suicide? Could it be that the madam’s tastes changed after she attempted to commit suicide?

  Mu Tingfeng seemed to have understood the old butler’s puzzlement, and he frowned before he said coolly, “Forget it. Have the cooks prepare dishes of varying tastes for lunch.”


  “Understood, young master.” The old butler responded. Just when he wanted to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw Mu Tingfeng putting down his newspaper and stiffly tug at his bowtie. He asked faintly, “How do I look today?”


  The old butler found himself not knowing what to say. The young master was really strange today!

  Before the old butler could voice his opinions, they heard the sound of a car engine outside.

  He felt the wind blowing beside him, and when he looked over, Mu Tingfeng could no longer be seen in front of him.

  The moment Zhao Youlin got out of the car, she saw Mu Tingfeng’s familiar face. She hesitated for a moment before she turned her head and said to the driver, “Head back first. I’ll give you a call when I want to go back.”


  The driver nodded and drove away, disappearing from Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s sights.

  Mu Tingfeng’s gaze turned increasingly gentle as he stared at Zhao Youlin. He took a step forward and held her hand before he whispered, “Let’s go in.”


  Zhao Youlin’s fingers trembled a little, but unlike previous times, she did not break free from Mu Tingfeng’s hand.

  Mu Tingfeng naturally noticed this, and his smile grew wider.

  The old butler stood at the door in the living room and watched his young master hold a woman’s hand as they walked over. When they drew closer, he discovered that the young master… was holding the madam’s hand.

  “Young master, M-Ms. Zhao.” The butler was extremely shocked, and he stuttered while he greeted both of them.

  Zhao Youlin smiled at the old butler. She had a good impression of the old butler because he loved Joy dearly.

  “It’s been a while, Mr. Butler. How are you?”


  “I’ve been well. What about you, Ms. Zhao?” And… where is the boy? How is he? Is he living well? Are they… good to him?

  Even though Zhao Youlin had told the old butler that he could visit Joy anytime he liked when she left the Mu family with Joy and that they would always welcome him, since Zhao Youlin had already left the Mu family, she was no longer the Mu family’s lady, and even the boy was…


  The link tying them together had been severed, and besides, the young master never liked the madam. He was averse to everything related to the madam.

  Even if the old butler constantly heard from outsiders that Mu Tingfeng had been romancing Zhao Youlin, he did not believe them.

  The young master had married the madam for four years, and he never even began to grow to love her. Instead, they grew increasingly estranged with each other, so how could the young master suddenly change his mind and fall in love with the madam?

  The old butler had worked for the Mu family his entire life and served three generations of the Mu family. He could not just blatantly betray the Mu family and sneak off to visit Zhao Youlin and Joy.

  Hence, even if the old butler missed Joy, after Zhao Youlin and Joy left the Mu family, he never visited him. But when it was quiet at night and there was no one around, he would constantly remember the cute child he once took care of.

  Zhao Youlin could see the old man’s hesitant expression and his roaming eyes. Based on this, she could tell what he was really thinking about. She smiled and whispered, “I’m fine. Joy is fine too. You can come over and visit us whenever you’re free. Joy misses you too.”


  When he heard about Joy, the old butler had a ray of happiness shine in his eyes in spite of himself. Just when he wanted to ask Zhao Youlin about Joy, Mu Tingfeng suddenly spoke up beside them.

  “Once we’re remarried, you can move back in, and the butler can see him every day. There’s no need for him to go through the trouble of going back and forth.”


  The old butler was shocked.

  On the other hand, Zhao Youlin was speechless.
