Entering the bedroom, Ling Feng saw Xia Wan'er sitting by Ting Yu's bedside, gently caressing Ting Yu's face.

"Gone?" Xia Wan'er asked blandly.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Aunt Wan, we…"

"No need to explain to me!" Xia Wan'er glanced at Ling Feng and said, "That girl must like you too, right? Does Ting Yu know about this?"

Ling Feng silently nodded.

Xia Wan'er shook her head and looked at Ting Yu, "This silly child, she's just like her real mother, so foolish."

"Aunt Wan, I'm sorry!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "I love Ting Yu very much, but I also like Xiao Rui a lot. I know it sounds terrible to say this, but I... I really can't let go of either of them!"

"You've admitted it?" Xia Wan'er looked at Ling Feng and said, "At least you're responsible. If you did not acknowledge your relationship with that girl, to me that would be truly despicable! But you don't need to apologize to me, as long as Ting Yu is willing, as long as you treat Ting Yu well and she is happy, that's all that matters to me."

Ling Feng swore, "Aunt Wan, I will definitely treat Ting Yu well, I will protect her with my life!"

Xia Wan'er nodded; she had no doubt about Ling Feng's promise. Even though Ling Feng was somewhat fickle, his nature was still trustworthy.

"Aunt Wan, why hasn't Ting Yu woken up yet?" Ling Feng asked with concern, looking at Ting Yu who lay quietly on the bed.

Xia Wan'er said softly, "Ting Yu's Vital Energy has been damaged. To let her recover better, I intentionally kept her asleep. She will wake up tomorrow morning!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng finally felt relieved. A relaxed expression appeared on his face.

However, seeing the disheveled state of Xia Wan'er's clothes, Ling Feng hesitated and said, "Aunt Wan, there are clothes for Ting Yu here, would you like to take a bath later? There is a set of beddings in the other bedroom. I can take care of Ting Yu!"

Xia Wan'er nodded, "That sounds good, I leave Ting Yu in your care!"

Ling Feng found Ting Yu's clothes and gave them to Xia Wan'er, who then went into the bathroom.

In the master bedroom, only Ling Feng and Ting Yu were left. Ling Feng sat by the bed, gently holding Ting Yu's hand, and murmured, "Girl, do you know how afraid I was when I heard you were attacked? I was terrified that you might really leave me! I have never felt as panicked, as scared, and as angry as I have today! Because you have become the most important being in my heart!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng took out a white jade pendant from his chest. On the front was carved a couple lovingly leaning on each other, and with closer inspection, one could see that it was Ling Feng and Ting Yu, with lively and happy expressions on their faces.

On the back of the pendant, Ling Feng had written the word "love" in twelve different languages. This carefully prepared gift was originally intended to be put on Ting Yu in public, but everything went awry due to the appearance of the masked person.

"This is my birthday gift to you, and it's also the first time I have personally made something for a girl!" Ling Feng said as he gently tied the pendant around Ting Yu's snow-white, slender neck.

After bathing and changing into sleepwear, Xia Wan'er hesitated for a moment, gently pushed open the door to Ting Yu's bedroom, and saw Ling Feng asleep by the bedside. His hand, however, held tightly to Ting Yu's hand, as if he were afraid she would leave without saying goodbye.

"Although somewhat fickle, he is still a devoted boy," Xia Wan'er rubbed her forehead, "I can rest assured with Ting Yu being with him!"

...

The morning sunlight sifted through the window and spilled onto the bed in the bedroom. Liu Tingyu slowly opened her eyes, "Hmm? Wasn't I supposed to be at the Junyue Grand Hotel? When did I come back home?"

Although she didn't know what had happened, Liu Tingyu felt her Vitality, Energy, and Spirit were all in good condition.

"Huh? Ling Feng?" At this moment, she saw Ling Feng with his head resting at the edge of the bed. Feeling his tight grip on her hand, a flicker of confusion crossed her eyes.

"Yesterday... Oh right, they celebrated my birthday yesterday, and then...then the lights went out, I felt a wave of fatigue, and then I lost consciousness. Could it be that I was attacked?" Liu Tingyu quickly realized something must have happened last night.

"What's this..." At that time, Liu Tingyu also noticed a white jade pendant around her neck. Looking at the design on it and the inscription on the back, the corners of Liu Tingyu's mouth involuntarily curled into a slight smile, "Hmph, you passed this time, this gift was quite thoughtful!"

Then, Liu Tingyu lay across the bed, bringing her head close to Ling Feng, observing his sleeping face, his handsome features—unexpectedly, Liu Tingyu's heart started to race.

"Huff huff, we're already an old married couple, what's there to get excited about!" Liu Tingyu scorned herself, then glanced around with a twinkle in her eye and, with her other hand, took a lock of hair and playfully brushed it across Ling Feng's cheek.

Ling Feng's cheek twitched, and soon he opened his eyes amidst the playful attack of hair. Seeing the smiling Liu Tingyu, Ling Feng spoke with a surprised voice, "Ting Yu, you're awake?"

"I'm awake. Yesterday... What happened yesterday?" Liu Tingyu asked.

Ling Feng smiled, "Nothing special, it's all past. It's good that you've woken up, I'll go make breakfast for you!"

Liu Tingyu pouted, clearly Ling Feng didn't want her to know about yesterday's events. Regardless, it must have been an unpleasant process, and Ling Feng didn't want Liu Tingyu to harbor any negative emotions.

"You guys are up so late, everything will be cold!" At that time, Xia Wan'er's voice wafted in from outside, "Clean up a bit, I've already made breakfast. Let's eat together!"

"Aunt Wan is here too?" Liu Tingyu became a bit anxious, "Let's hurry up, how can we let Aunt Wan cook for us?"

Soon Liu Tingyu was dressed and walked out. Xia Wan'er had already set the table. There were three sets of bowls and chopsticks, three bowls of fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge, a few boiled eggs, and some small cold dishes.

"Aunt Wan!" Liu Tingyu said with a blush, "We should have been the ones to prepare this."

Xia Wan'er said with a smile, "We're all family, why bother with such distinctions? Ting Yu, how do you feel now?"

Liu Tingyu replied, "I feel very comfortable. What exactly happened yesterday? I asked Ling Feng and he didn't want to tell me, it's really killing me!"

Although she said she was dying to know, the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed.

"It was nothing serious!" Xia Wan'er smiled, "Let's eat!"

Liu Tingyu pouted and said, "Aunt Wan, why are you brushing me off as well!"
