The temperature remained low during the afternoon, but the chill did not matter as they were home.

Xi Xiaye was rearranging books in the study while Mu Yuchen was busy going through some documents.

After tidying up the study, Xi Xiaye went to get prepared instead of bothering him. Sis Wang had gone to the Mu residence, and hardly anyone else came by except the servants who visited to clean from time to time.

It was peacefully quiet inside the study, and he could smell the faint fragrance of tea some time later. When his woman silently handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to him, he raised his head and noticed her taking away his empty teacup.

"What time is it?" Mu Yuchen asked as he took a sip.

"It's almost 2 p.m. now. Are you about to be done?" Xi Xiaye replied.

Mu Yuchen closed the document and left it aside, then he leaned back against the chair. "Almost there. Are you tired?"

"I'm alright. I just did some simple cleaning. We could go back earlier..."

Before Xi Xiaye could finish her sentence, Mu Yuchen's phone started ringing, so she glanced over and noticed Li Si's name on the screen to her surprise.

"It should be news from the police station."

Mu Yuchen answered the call, and Li Si's voice quickly reached him.

"Master, it's all done! The whole city is on the hunt for Doris. There were signs of her appearing near outskirts in the west. Our people are heading there."

"Mmm, make sure she's captured."

Mu Yuchen hung up as he looked at Xi Xiaye and explained, "Ah Mo and Li Si dropped by this morning. I handed them the documents, and I suppose the police have them now."

Xi Xiaye paused before nodding. "We should've done that so much earlier. You've been suffering so much all these years because of her..."

"It's not just her. Everything that has happened can't just be blamed on one person. Doris is at fault, but Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng played a role. Lingtian is responsible too, and that includes me as well." Mu Yuchen took another sip from his teacup.

Xi Xiaye sighed. "No one would've expected things to turn out this way. Grandfather and Grandmother's deaths should be mourned, and moving forward in life is the best we can do for them."

He chuckled slightly as he looked at her. Then, he put down the teacup and said, "Come here..."

Xi Xiaye went close and allowed him to wrap his arm around her waist.

"I'm not really that sad, especially after what we've gone through the past two years."

"You're always frowning whenever they are mentioned, and you'll get unhappy if I say anything bad about them." She still remembered his reaction from their last conversation about Mu Lingtian.

Mu Yuchen lowered his head and laughed. It was difficult for him to explain the bond of brotherhood to her, but this was also why he loved her so much...

"Alright, I won't say anything further. Pack up and get changed, and put on something thicker. It's cold outside." Xi Xiaye did not continue the conversation as she patted his hand on her waist.

"Mmm, let's go." He stood up together with her.

With the warrant to arrest Doris in order, the whole City Z was on the move. Li Si and the other men were also on high alert. No one would have expected that at this moment, in front of Mu Zi's gravestone...
