The girls embraced for a while. After everything that had happened in the last few months, they truly deserved to be happy. 

Luna pulled away after a while, looking at her sister longingly. "There is one thing missing in all this." 

"Don't even mention it." Lanni groaned in defeat. 

"Are we really going to investigate what happened back then? Maybe then we can understand where the misunderstanding came from." 

Lanni thought about it and shook her head. "Luna, some things are merely catalysts. There may have been several underlying issues between them, including our grandma and all. Even if we were to solve this matter, who knows, another misunderstanding may simply appear between them." 

Luna was dissatisfied but it was true. 

"So, it is best to let them fight it out. Maybe then they will come to their senses and rekindle their love." Lanni concluded.

"They are acting like little kids. Urgh… even little kids don't act this silly." Luna groaned a complaint. 

"Forget about them. Let's get back to business." 

Luna didn't find it enjoyable to continue talking about her parents' love life either, so she listened to Lanni's analysis of the situation. The latter had pretty much gotten incriminating evidence. However, as long as Xing Han had a meticulous brain, he could possibly weasel his way out by pushing all the blame onto his underlings. 

"I have figured out a way to gather incriminating evidence against XIng Han. He will not be able to worm out of it no matter how hard he tries." 

"Tell me." Luna was curious. 

"The man is exceptionally careful and lets his pawns handle everything. However, there are special instances where he gets the deed done himself." She explained. 

"And that is… with extremely special partners?" Luna guessed. 

"Bingo. And will you ever guess who one of these special cases is?" Lanni teasingly raised an eyebrow. 

"The Feng family?" Luna guessed after thinking for a second. 

"Geez… they say that twins are telepathic. I didn't believe it was true until now that I see it with my own eyes." A male voice suddenly filled the air. 

Luna reflexively grabbed a floor lamp while Lanni prepared herself to throw her phone at the intruder. When they saw who it was, they glared at him. 

The man laughed throatily. "When we get married, I will not have floor lamps in our home. Just in case you get mad at me and want to hit me with one."

"What the hell are you doing here? How long have you been standing there?" Luna asked in a single breath, ignoring his nonsense. 

Lanni looked like she wanted to murder him. "How dare you sneak into people's homes and eavesdrop on them? That's rude!" 

Jiang XIngyu walked in with ease. "How is it my fault? I pressed the bell for ages and you did not respond. Then I punched in the passcode and came in. The two of you were too engrossed in each other's hug to notice me." 

Lanni scanned him and when she was convinced that he was not lying, she looked in her sister's direction. "Why is it so easy for other people to access my apartment? It's alright if it's a friend but if it were an outsider…" 

Luna did not need to hear the rest of the sentence. "I will upgrade the security so everyone who comes here will need biometric access." 

"That can be cracked." Jiang Xingyu spoke even though no one asked him. 

"Yes, it happens, but not if it has been developed by me." Luna interjected. 

Regarding that point, he had nothing more to say. 

"What are you doing here anyway?" Lanni asked. 

"I had a feeling that my girlfriend was here so I came to pick her up." 

"Who the heck is your girlfriend?" Luna shot him daggers. 

Lanni shifted her gaze between the two of them and grinned. Did they finally start dating? "Ow!" she rubbed her forehead with a frown when it was suddenly flicked. 

"Stop thinking nonsense. This guy must be addicted to seeking attention."Luna warned, sending another glare in Jiang Xingyu's direction. 

The man was about to say something but when he met her don't-you-dare look, he kept it to himself. "I couldn't find Xiehan and he is not picking his calls either. It is an urgent matter and I guessed that he would be here so I came to try my luck." 

Lanni raised an eyebrow in confusion. "He is not here, and he has not been answering my calls either. I figured he's busy. Have you checked with his parents?" 

"They haven't seen a wisp of his hair all day and neither has his assistant." 

"That's strange." Lanni was pondering over it when the front door opened. They all looked over and indeed, the man they were looking for walked in, an air of tiredness all over him. 

Lanni stood up immediately and helped him take off his jacket. "My love, where have you been? You look so exhausted." 

"I had a meeting with an associate and after that, I had to deal with several matters." He slumped into the closest couch to the door. 

Lanni helped him take his shoes and socks off then headed to the master bedroom. When she returned, she stood at the entrance of the hallway with a hair tie, easing her long hair into a bun as she looked at him. "I have helped you run a bath. Go and take a relaxing bath while I prepare dinner." 

The man nodded and stood up, completely ignoring his friend and his future sister-in-law. 

"She looks just like a dutiful little wife." Jiang Xingyu scratched his chin in thought. "When her man is tired, she pampers him so much that he forgets all about the uninvited guests at home." 

As though thinking of something, he looked in Luna's direction. 

"Don't you even dare to think of it." She warned even before he could get the first word out. She knew herself all too well. Even if she actually got married in the end, her husband would have to stop dreaming if he expected her to act like a dutiful wife. It would already be good enough if she didn't annoy the hell out of him after a tiresome day of work.
