Although Song Lan knew that it was Xing Nian who saved her, she had no idea where Xing Nian lived, so she turned to the old lady of the Mu family for help.

When the old lady of the Mu family learned that it was her granddaughter-in-law Xing Nian who rescued her and that Song Lan intended to visit her to express her gratitude, she readily gave out Xing Nian's address.

At the same time, Song Shiyue came to Mengyuan.

Xing Nian woke up from his sleep when the sun was high in the sky.

Not long after she woke up, she received a call from Mu Huaichen.

"Wake up." Mu Huaichen's voice was gentle on the other end of the phone.

"How do you know I'm awake?" Xing Nian asked while stretching.

"Maybe we are just in sync with each other." Mu Huaichen replied with a smile.

"By the way, your father called this morning and said that the day after tomorrow is your mother's memorial day, and he hopes that I will go back with you." Mu Huaichen continued.

Xing Nian was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. She would naturally go to her mother's death anniversary, but she really didn't want to see Xing Lang's face.

"Actually, I can go by myself." There was a hint of loneliness in Xing Nian's voice.

"Niannian, I am your husband. I have not visited your mother since we got married. I would like to take this opportunity to go see her and tell your mother to leave you to me with confidence. I will protect you well." Mu Huaichen's words were full of firmness and warmth.

When Xing Nian heard Mu Huaichen's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Okay." She agreed softly.

The man told Xing Nian to eat well and then hung up the phone.

Xing Nian got up and went downstairs, and found a woman sitting in the living room - Song Shiyue.

"Miss Song?" Xing Nian was a little surprised.

Aunt Li came over and explained, "Young Madam, this Miss Song said she wanted to see you. She has been here for a few hours and knew you were resting so she asked us not to disturb you."

Xing Nian walked up to Song Shiyue and said with a smile, "Sorry, Miss Song, I didn't know you were here. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Song Shiyue responded with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Xing. I came here to thank you for saving my mother."

Xing Nian pretended not to understand and asked in confusion: "Who is your mother?"

Song Shiyue explained: "Do you remember? The day we met in the cafe, you saved a lady, she was my mother."

Xing Nian looked as if something had suddenly dawned on him, and said, "Oh, that's how it is."

Song Shiyue said seriously: "Miss Xing, if there is anything you want, or if our Song family can do something for you, we will try our best to satisfy it."

Xing Nian looked at Song Shiyue's determined eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, you can see that I am now the wife of the president of the Mu Group. I have everything I need. But if your Song family really wants to repay me, I am more interested in medical skills. Some rare herbs, medical books, etc. may attract my attention."

When Song Shiyue heard this, she suddenly thought of something, stood up and said, "Miss Xing, it was indeed a bit rude of me to visit you without saying hello. Next time, I will definitely let you know in advance before paying you a formal visit."

Xing Nian did not try to persuade Song Shiyue to stay, as she knew she had clearly expressed her needs. Song Shiyue had obviously thought of something, so Xing Nian waited patiently for Song Shiyue to deliver the ice cold grass to her.

The next day, Song Shiyue came as promised. She held the ice grass that Xing Nian had been thinking about in her hand, with a sincere smile on her face.

"Miss Xing, this herb was obtained by our family accidentally some time ago. I thought that since you like medicine, you should like this herb." Song Shiyue handed the ice grass to Xing Nian.

Xing Nian took the ice grass, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he accepted the gift with satisfaction.

She noticed that Song Shiyue seemed to have something to say, but was hesitant.

"Ms. Song, do you have anything to say?" Xing Nian asked.

Song Shiyue took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Miss Xing, can I be your friend?"

Xing Nian was a little surprised. She didn't expect Song Shiyue to make such a request. But looking at Song Shiyue's nervous and expectant eyes, Xing Nian also responded.

"Of course, Miss Song. I'm also very happy to be friends with you." Xing Nian replied with a smile.

When Song Shiyue heard this answer, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She explained: "Ms. Xing, I know you may be worried about my intentions. But please rest assured, I don't like President Mu. Those rumors were made up by the elders in the family."

So that's it. She hadn't felt any love for Mu Huaichen from Song Shiyue before, but now after hearing what Song Shiyue said, she was more certain of her judgment.

The two started chatting, and Xing Nian found that Song Shiyue was actually a very simple and straightforward girl. She used to think that Song Shiyue was a little cold, but after getting to know her, she found that was just her behavior in front of unfamiliar people. After getting to know her, Song Shiyue became more talkative.

Xing Nian had nothing to do at home, so she decided to stay and chat with Song Shiyue for a while. The two chatted about everything from hobbies to daily life, from the customs and practices of Kyoto to their respective family backgrounds.

The two of them got along very well.

Gradually the sky darkened and Song Shiyue had to leave reluctantly.

Looking at Song Shiyue leaving, Xing Nian thought of Mu Huaichen and felt the same contrast.

He is a cool, abstinent and domineering president outside, but at home he is a man who dotes on his wife and is sometimes a little childish.

After Mu Huaichen came back, Xing Nian told him everything about how he met Song Shiyue and became friends today.

Xing Nian looked at Mu Huaichen with a mischievous smile on her lips.

"It's good for you to make a friend. At least you'll have someone to accompany you when I'm not around." Mu Huaichen said lightly, his voice revealing his concern for Xing Nian.

Xing Nian deliberately teased, "Speaking of which, Song Shiyue and I should be considered rivals in love, right? Are you so confident that we can be friends?"

Mu Huaichen smiled gently, as if he had seen through his wife's thoughts.

He gently held Xing Nian's hand and explained, "I don't know Song Shiyue, but I know Song Lan, the president of the Song Group. She is a rare female leader in a large family, and she is very powerful. When her husband cheated on her, she divorced him directly. After returning to the Song family, she relied on her own strength to become the president of the Song Group. She has never relied on anyone from beginning to end."

"She herself is a failure in the marriage, so how could she allow her daughter to become a victim of the marriage?" Mu Huaichen's eyes were firm, which made Xing Nian feel relieved.

"So you know that the rumor that Song Shiyue likes you is false?" Xing Nian asked curiously.

"Of course." Mu Huaichen nodded. "I know Song Lan's character. She won't let her daughter follow her old path. Besides, I believe in you and our relationship."

When Xing Nian heard this, her heart warmed, and she knew that she had not misjudged the person.
