[Oh my God! I'm going to order Feili Magazine right now!]

Mahua Jewelry has always followed a high-end route, and the brand tends to be low-profile. Recently, they had a spike in sales thanks to a feature on "My Journey," but then they didn't do much more marketing. They have a loyal audience, so they don't need heavy promotion to gain traffic.

Feili Magazine was always quite niche, and it was perfectly normal for many people to not know about it. Plus, the brands that get featured in it are all high-end. This issue's couple photoshoot of Yu Qianxia and Yu Muqiu was pushed by the magazine, but the average person could never afford it, so the chances of them seeing the promotion were very low.

Now, the news had exploded, and countless viewers rushed in to join the fun. Muhua Jewelry and Feili Magazine gained a quick surge in followers, and the comments section was flooded.

Yu Qianxia pointed at the camera behind her. "Mind if we film?"

Yu Muqiu wasn't as resistant to the camera anymore. "No problem."

"Do you want some drinks?" Yu Muqiu paused before asking.

Yu Qianxia was slightly stunned, then smiled and replied, "Sure, old place?"

Yu Muqiu nodded, his voice lower and gentler. "Alright."

With that, Yu Qianxia and Yu Muqiu turned and walked away from the balcony together.

[Hey hey hey? What's with the mystery? What's this old place?]

[Where are you two going?]

[Wait? Camera guy, why aren't you following?]

[!!! Is there something I, as a VIP, can't see?]

Secretly, Yu Qianxia didn't want the cameraman to follow them. She turned to him and said, "I have some personal matters, I'll come back later."

Before the cameraman could react, Yu Qianxia pushed open the back door of the villa and walked along a winding path in the backyard, disappearing into a grove of trees.

The cameraman wanted to continue following but wasn't familiar with the terrain and quickly lost sight of her.

Yu Qianxia hurried towards the "old place."

After about ten more minutes of walking, she arrived at an old wooden house. This had once been a storage shed for her family's junk, but later, it was no longer used. Yu Qianxia had asked the servants to transform it into an open reading room.

When she was a child, Yu Qianxia often invited other kids over to read, study, and play there. But as time passed, fewer and fewer people came, and it became a quiet, private place for her.

Yu Qianxia liked to stay here, and Yu Muqiu always liked to be by her side. He was very quiet—if she didn't start a conversation, he wouldn't say a word to disturb her. Slowly, she had gotten used to his presence.

It had been a while since Yu Qianxia had come here. The place was still the same as before, with bookshelves lining the walls, packed with all kinds of books. Someone came in to clean regularly, so it was very neat.

The floor was covered with a thin carpet, and there were a few lounge chairs on it, though they were a bit too small in size.

Yu Qianxia opened the window of the wooden house, and a cool breeze blew in.

She sat down on the floor, enjoying the refreshing wind.

Just then, the wooden door creaked open.

A tall, cool figure slowly walked over to her and sat down on the carpet beside her.

"You're here? Brought any wine?" Yu Qianxia glanced at the bottle in his hand.

Yu Muqiu showed her the bottle. "Lafite."

Yu Qianxia smiled. "Open it."

Yu Muqiu took a bottle opener from a gray portable bag and also pulled out two wine glasses.

He filled the two glasses halfway. The deep red wine gently swirled in the glass, its rich fragrance spreading through the room.

Yu Qianxia took a glass and took a sip.

"Here, you don't have to pretend anymore," Yu Muqiu also took a sip. After the wine settled in his throat, his voice became deeper and more magnetic.

Yu Qianxia turned to look at him. "You don't talk much, but you've probably understood me better than anyone else from childhood on."

She sighed softly, took another sip, and said, "I'm not feeling too great."

"But it's not all bad, because I found out something really important, something unexpected, so I'm pretty angry."

"Do you know what it feels like... to have something stolen from you?" Yu Qianxia smiled faintly, "It's a feeling that's hard to describe."

Yu Muqiu reached out and clinked his wine glass with hers. The clear sound of the glasses ringing filled the air. He lowered his gaze and said, "You're Yu Qianxia. You won't lose."

Yu Qianxia chuckled softly. "I like hearing that."

"Of course, everything that belongs to me, I'll take it back!"

"Cheers!"

Yu Qianxia felt a lot lighter, her mood had lifted, and she couldn't help but drink a little more.

Yu Muqiu saw her mood improve, so he didn't stop her, letting her drink more.

Soon, a bottle of Lafite was nearly finished.

Yu Qianxia looked at the empty bottle, then glanced at him with her cool eyes slightly hazy from the wine. "What's up? You've already drunk this much?"

Yu Muqiu took the bottle from her hands. "You're drunk."

"I'm not, I can still drink," Yu Qianxia narrowed her eyes. "Go back and get another bottle, I'm not done yet."

Yu Muqiu's face showed a bit of helplessness. He was about to get up to follow her request and go fetch another bottle.

But just as she finished speaking, Yu Qianxia tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder.

Yu Muqiu froze.

His heart skipped a few beats at that moment.

Then it started beating faster, blood rushing through his veins.

A soft, warm feeling spread through him, and his gaze softened, filled with tenderness.

Yu Muqiu clenched his fists, the corner of his lips curling up. How long had it been? Still so useless—just a little bit of her leaning toward him, and he couldn't keep himself in check.

He lowered his gaze, his long lashes hiding his dark pupils. Only when they were alone like this did he dare to look at her without restraint.

He lifted his hand and adjusted her into a more comfortable position. Yu Qianxia nuzzled against his neck and fell back asleep, more comfortably.

Their figures were cast onto the ground by the soft sunlight, and everything around them became quiet—very, very quiet.

Yu Muqiu raised his eyes, keeping his gaze fixed on the distant trees. In that moment, it felt as if time had stretched on endlessly.
