B Cityーthe day before. 

Xia Luna had been working harder ever since it was confirmed that her father would wake up soon. She knew that no matter how many people thought she was really guilty of stabbing Li Xiyan, her father would always trust her. 

Even so, it would be nice if he had little to worry about once he woke up. Who knows, his health might even get much better and he could be just like any other person. 

However, there was a problem. Li Xiyan was now on the lookout and the initially hard task was now even harder. Should she really consider talking to Madam Jiang's detective friend? 'No way. I cannot let a man be the one to solve my problems.' She thought, shaking her head at the fact that she had even considered that option.

She stood up from the chair and groggily stretched her limbs. She had been awake for the last at least twenty four hours and now she was so tired that she could drop right onto the floor and sleep. 

She was just about to drag her tired body to sleep when she got a notification from her phone. 

"You must be kidding me." She muttered when she saw the message from Jiang Xingyu. Why would he text her so urgently and what did he mean by [Something went totally wrong]? What happened? 

She dialed his number and called him. 

As soon as the call connected, his worried voice came through the speaker. "It's my mother. She…" 

"Hello?" Xia Luna glanced at her phone. The call had been hung up all of a sudden. 

'What happened to Aunty?' She wondered, the sleep fading off her eyes in a flash. Without thinking about it, she grabbed her bag and rushed all the way to the Old Jiang Mansion. 

Seeing that the guards refused to let in a young 'man' without permission from the master or madam, Xia Luna grabbed her phone and called Jiang Xingyu. The idiot actually refused to pick her calls. 

In utter annoyance, she called Madam Jiang who was surprised but rushed over to meet her. 

"Huh? Where's Luna?" Madam Jiang mumbled once she reached outside. Then she glanced at the young 'man' at the side curiously. He looked too young to be Jiang Xingyu's friend. "And you are?"

"Aunty, it's me." She said in her usual voice, startling Madam Jiang. Why was Luna wearing male clothes and covering her face? But remembering that she was living in disguise, she was no longer shocked. She hugged her and pulled her into the house. 

"What a brilliant surprise! Please come in." 

Xia Luna followed her and sat on a couch then studied Madam Jiang worriedly. "Aunty, are you alright?" 

"I'm more than alright ㄧI'm jubilant! It's not every day that my favorite girl comes to see me." 

Xia Luna felt something wasn't right. Didn't Jiang XIngyu say that something was wrong with his mother? No wonder that idiot refused to pick her call when she called again earlier. 

She was just about to rant about him when she heard his excited voice from the door. "Mother, I took the day off just to spend time with you. You are very happy to see me, right?" He walked in, looking surprised when he saw Xia Luna next to his mother. "Eh? No wonder you did not miss me in the slightest. Your Luna is here. Oh I'm heartbroken." He exaggeratedly clutched the left side of his chest. 

"You are surprised to see me?" Luna asked, her expression turning cold. 

"Of course! Hahaha… I'm surprised but I'm happy at the same time." He scratched his head. 

"Oh really." She crossed her arms against her chest. "I am surprised to see you too." She emphasized the last syllable, glaring daggers at him. 

"Eer… why does this feel like a battlefield?" Madam Jiang was dumbfounded.

"That's because he called me, telling me that something happened to you." Xia Luna mercilessly exposed him. 

Madam Jiang frowned at her son. "How could you do that, you useless son? You made my Luna so worried!" At that, she grabbed a sandal and charged towards her son. 

"Mo…mother, wait! You misunderstood. Ahーnot my head!" Jiang Xingu tried to dodge as his mother used the sandal to smack his head, not in the least worried about humiliating her own son.

"I will beat your head. I will even smack your face! How dare you lie to Luna?" Madam Jiang did not pause her beatings. 

"I didn't lie! She misunderstood me!" Jiang Xingyu defended himself as he tried to get away. 

"Explain." Madam Jiang demanded without any intention to stop beating up her son. 

Hence Jiang Xingyu could only explain while trying to shield his head from the sandal. "I was about to say that you missed her when my phone went dead. She is the one who misunderstood me." 

"Is that so?" Madam Jiang stopped beating him up, and he grabbed the opportunity to flee. 

Xia Luna could only accept his explanation. Indeed he had only said "It's my mother���. It was she who had assumed that something had happened to her and run over worriedly. Even so, "You tricked me." She smacked his shoulder.

He glanced back at her gently, his expression full of love. "If I didn't trick you, I wouldn't ever get to see you again." 

"Ah, I see what's happening here. I guess I'm not needed." Madam Jiang flashed them a smile then went up the stairs, humming happily. So it was because her son had missed her future daughter-in-law. Since that was the case, she should not bother them. It would be even better if they spend the whole day together and got closer to each other. 

"Where are you going?" Jiang Xingyu asked when he saw her heading for the exit.

"I'm leaving." She didn't have any business here and she was too sleepy to argue with him. 

"Xia, could you stay a little longer? I promise I will not bother you." He grabbed her hand to plead.
