Wen Ran stopped insisting, took Qin Mu's coat, put it on, and continued forward. When she got to about two-thirds of the stairs, she turned right, passed the tombstones, and came to her parents' tombstone.

Qin Mu stopped a few steps away, standing sideways facing her, looking down.

Wen Ran took out the sweet and sour pork ribs from the lunchbox and carefully placed them in front of the tombstone. Holding back the waves of sadness welling up in her heart, she said breezily, “Dad, Mom, look what I brought you.”

She knelt before the tombstones, meeting the loving smiles of her parents on the stone. It felt just like sitting at home and chatting casually in the past.

“Dad, Mom, this is my sweet and sour pork ribs. Aren't you surprised? In the past, mom was always the one who cooked at home, with dad and brother occasionally helping out. I never got a chance to show my culinary skills. Today, I found out that I'm actually a culinary genius!”

“I'm telling you, I only learned for two hours, and I learned how to make these sweet and sour pork ribs. …I decided to learn one dish every day, all the dishes you love to eat. Dad, Mom, you must bless my brother to wake up soon….”

Wen Ran's gentle words were carried by the night wind into Qin Mu's ears a few steps away. Surprise flashed in his dark eyes, and he turned to look at her.

The night was too dark to see clearly the face of the woman kneeling in front of the tombstone. He could only see a slender figure with hazy edges, but he could sense the suppressed sorrow and sadness in her cheery words.

His gaze skimmed the sweet and sour ribs in front of her. Judging by their smell, they should taste quite good. It was a surprise that she made them herself. According to MO Xiuchen's initial investigation, Wen Ran was merely a spoiled flower, treated as a treasure by her family, a woman who had never dirtied her hands.

But he had to admit, the impression she gave him now, was different from the beginning.

Although Wen Family's normal operations couldn't function without MO Xiuchen's help, if Wen Ran didn't possess any capabilities, it wouldn't work either. The previous incident where Zhou Mingfu instigated his subordinates to ask for a collective leave had showed her intelligence as she knew how to 'borrow' MS to suppress Zhou Mingfu.

He attended the senior management meeting that she held this afternoon. There, she looked sharp and efficient in her business suit, displaying an air of nobility and coldness…

However, the Wen Ran at this moment gave an impression of someone pretending to be strong, burying her sorrow behind a forced smile. He watched her for a while, then furrowed his brows lightly and looked away.

Wen Ran talked with her parents for about ten minutes, telling them about her brother and the company's situation. She then promised to visit them next time with her brother.

When she stood up, her knees, which had been kneeling for so long, were a bit numb. Her body staggered, and she quickly reached out to hold the tombstone for support. Qin Mu's gaze changed as he watched from a distance, but in the end, he did not step forward.

When Wen Ran approached him, he saw that her eyes were a bit red. He couldn't help but ask, “Are you okay?”

She shook her head and forced a small smile. “I'm fine. Sorry for making you wait so long.”

On the way home, Qin Mu was focusing on driving, while Wen Ran was quietly looking out the window, deep in thought.

Just before reaching home, she finally collected her thoughts and turned to Qin

Mu, “Please don't tell MO Xiuchen about me learning to cook.”

The cemetery was so quiet earlier, she believed that Qin Mu must have heard some of what she said.

Qin Mu, being intelligent, immediately understood her meaning. He hummed in affirmation, although he didn't believe that Wen Ran could keep it from MO Xiuchen.

MO Xiuchen had a sharp sense of intuition and an excellent sense of smell. She had stayed in Li Qian's kitchen all night, even though she had been to the cemetery afterwards, she would still carry a certain scent.

His guess was correct.

As soon as Wen Ran got home, MO Xiuchen detected the 'special scent' on her. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes as he gently asked, “Have you had dinner? Do you want Nanny Zhang to make something for you?” Wen Ran smiled at him and said she had already eaten.

“How did you run into Qin Mu?”

MO Xiuchen made a gesture for her to go upstairs. As they both went up, he casually asked.

“I met him at Sister Li's house. He was dropping off Sister Li's husband.”

Wen Ran paused for a moment, turned to MO Xiuchen and said: 'While you were calling this afternoon, Sister Li and I had just left the supermarket when we bumped into Zixuan.”

She remembered that when Zixuan called her, the phone call hadn't ended. But after two seconds, when she looked at the phone screen again, the call was already over.

Although nothing happened between her and Zixuan, she didn't want MO Xiuchen to misunderstand. After giving it some thought, she decided it was better to tell him.

Even Qin Mu's appearance at Li Qian's house wasn't a coincidence…

Seeing him looking at her, Wen Ran thought he didn't believe her. She was about to explain when MO Xiuchen interrupted her with a smile: “I believe nothing will happen between you and Zixuan. Even if you meet him, you don't need to report to me.”

A relieved smile appeared on Wen Ran's face, “I'm glad you believe me.”

Her smile reflected in MO Xiuchen's deep eyes and there was a soft feeling stirring in his heart. A smile spread across his face as well.

That night, Wen Ran fell asleep in the arms of MO Xiuchen again, in the same position as the night before. Her heartbeat went from the initial uneven patterns to gradually steady beats, and she drifted off to sleep unknowingly.

Not only had she slept dreamlessly that night, but in the two nights that he held her, MO Xiuchen also had the best sleep he had ever had.

The next day, Wen Ran learned two more dishes from Sister Li, both of which were MO Xiuchen's favorite home-cooked dishes: red braised lion's head and sour pickled carp.

She originally planned to cook them for MO Xiuchen for lunch on Saturday, but he had to work overtime due to company matters. When she sent him out, she voluntarily asked, “Can you come back for lunch?”

MO Xiuchen turned around, his deep eyes looking into hers. After thinking for a bit, he replied gently, “I will try my best.”

Wen Ran didn't make many dishes, only three, but all of them were MO Xiuchen's favorites. She insisted on doing everything herself, even refusing Nanny Zhang's offer to assist her.

Nanny Zhang stood beside her, watching her bustle about the kitchen with smiles filled with admiration. She said with emotion, “If the Madam were here and see that the young master has married such a kind and virtuous wife, she would surely be very happy.”

Wen Ran flipped the fish in the pan, turned to look at Nanny Zhang, and asked softly, “Nanny Zhang, how did MO Xiuchen's mother pass away?”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Nanny Zhang's face faded. She said with a hint of sorrow in her voice, “Madam… she committed suicide by jumping off a building on the young master's eighth birthday.”

On his birthday?”

Wen Ran was shocked and her eyes widened in surprise..
