Shi Ke put Xiang Yang down and chided, “Why are you running in high heels? What if you fall?”

Xiang Yang put her arms around his waist and looked up at him, asking, “Why are you here? Didn’t you go on a mission? Didn’t they say that it would take three months? It’s only been over a month.”

Before he could answer, Xiang Yang hopped a few times and said, “I miss you so much! I’m so happy you’re here!”

Shi Ke hurriedly supported her and panickily uttered, “Don’t jump, honey, don’t! Be careful not to sprain your ankle!”

Xiang Yang didn’t care; she was too happy to worry about such things. Shi Ke hugged his restless wife and turned around to greet Xu Yun, “Mom, I’m back.”

Surrounded by a group of ladies, Xu Yun was as happy as a clam to see her son. “It’s good that you’re back! I’m glad! At least you’re thoughtful enough to rush back!”

The onlookers looked at the scene with different expressions. Some envied the love and happiness between Xu Yun’s son and her daughter-in-law, while others gloatingly thought, ‘Xu Yun always talked about her son, but it doesn’t matter howgreat he is; he only has eyes for his wife after he got married.’

Shi Nian, too, had pulled Yun Nan to his side. Shi Ke looked at Yun Nan and smiled. Shi Nian whispered something to her, and Yun Nan hastily greeted, “Big brother.”

“Yun Nan, thank you for helping Xiang Yang organize this exhibition,” Shi Ke thanked his sister-in-law, whom he had met for the first time. He could tell from his younger brother’s sappy expression when he looked at her that the brat only had eyes for his wife. Seeing him so blissful, Shi Ke felt relieved.

Throwing the Shi family’s business to his younger brother was the only time he had let someone down in his life. He finally felt at ease now that he saw Shi Nian was happy.

He had heard Xiang Yang passionately praise and talk about her idol before he’d even met his sister-in-law, so Shi Ke had an extremely good impression of Yun Nan—he would always agree with whatever and whoever his wife thought was good. Yun Nan’s clear eyes and smile reassured him; Xiang Yang and Shi Nian hadn’t misjudged her.

Shi Gao silently wiped away her tears. She could hear the sound of her heart shattering. It was so painful that her whole body was numb with it.

‘He only has eyes for that rotten b*tch!’ she inwardly cried. ‘How can someone so outstanding be so blind and have no discernment? That woman is evil! She’s too good with her tricks and has bewitched the innocent Shi Ke! She’s a menace!’

Shi Gao had clenched her fists so tightly that one of her fingernails broke in her palm. Her body was so numb she couldn’t feel it. She couldn’t even sense anyone or anything around her.

“Since Shi Ke is back, Xiang Yang, you can accompany Shi Ke to the lounge to have some rest. Yun Nan and I will take care of things here,” Xu Yun stated. She understood her son very well. Right now, Shi Ke probably just wanted to carry his wife off—away from all the outsiders.

Xiang Yang stared at Yun Nan with sparkling eyes. Yun Nan looked at the longing in Xiang Yang’s eyes and chuckled, “Xiang Yang, you owe me a meal for this! Don’t forget!”

Xiang Yang snapped her fingers and replied, “Make that ten meals! Yun Nan, I love you!”

She pounced over and hugged Yun Nan tightly. Shi Nian was caught off guard and didn’t pull Yun Nan away in time. He gazed at his older brother resentfully. Shi Ke gave him a look that said, “Relax, just go along with your sister-in-law.”

Xiang Yang let go of Yun Nan, grabbed Shi Ke’s hand, and merrily told Xu Yun, “Mom, we’ll be going home now!” Xu Yun nodded with a smile and waved her hand to signal them to leave quickly.

And so, the top jewelry designer left her own solo exhibition halfway through.

She skipped and left hand in hand with her husband, under everyone’s gazes. As they walked off together, her tall and handsome husband was worried she would sprain her ankle bouncing around in high heels. People could feel the deep love between them just from looking at their retreating figures.

“Xu Yun, you’re so lucky! Look at your son and daughter-in-law; they’re so sweet. I’m so envious!”

“Yeah, Madam Shi. Those two lovebirds don’t act like they’ve been married for several years; they’re like a couple who just fell in love!”

Han Yuan, however, lowered her voice and remarked, “Xu Yun, isn’t this highly inappropriate of your eldest daughter-in-law? She just dropped her work and ran off with her husband! It’s unseemly! You don’t seem to have much authority as her mother-in-law! You really should discipline her more!”

Another lady frowned upon Xiang Yang’s behavior and commented, “No offense, Xu Yun, but your daughter-in-law just dragged her man away in broad daylight. She was in such a hurry to…! Isn’t that a little too crude? This behavior is unbecoming of a high-class woman! Even common womenfolk aren’t so unruly!”

Xu Yun ignored them and pulled Yun Nan over to her side. “Yun Nan, Your sister-in-law is leaving everything here in your hands.. Can you handle it?”
