Zhuang Mingyue gradually adapted to staying at home, and practiced her cooking skills in various ways. She could make almost all kinds of dessert dishes.

In order to thank Li Yuhan, Zhuang Mingyue specifically asked Zhan Yan to invite her and Xiang Wen to dinner at her home.

Li Yuhan often came to the South Courtyard Villa to visit Zhuang Mingyue, but Xiang Wen had never been there before, and secondly, he came to his boss's private villa, so he couldn't help but be a little nervous in his behavior.

Zhuang Mingyue looked at Xiang Wen's silly look, but felt that he and Li Yuhan were a good match.

Zhan Yan came downstairs and glanced at Xiang Wen who was feeling uneasy. "Sit down."

Xiang Wen hurriedly sat down not far from Li Yuhan, not knowing where to look.

Xiang Wen was able to relax during the meal, but Li Yuhan beside him ignored him, which still made him feel awkward from time to time.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Mingyue was finally allowed to go out by Zhan Yan. She was happily preparing to go upstairs to change her clothes, but she heard a voice behind her.

"Of course, I'll go too."

Zhuang Mingyue suddenly felt that the whole world was not beautiful anymore. She and Yu Han could go shopping, and as for the banquet, why did they have to follow along?

No matter how dissatisfied she was, Zhuang Mingyue still cherished the opportunity to go out. She changed into a lavender French skirt, matched with white low-heeled shoes, picked up a small bag and went downstairs.

Even though she knew she couldn't escape the man's clutches, Zhuang Mingyue still asked tentatively, "Is everything OK at your company? Actually, you can go and get busy. We don't mind."

The man looked calm and composed, "Not busy."

Zhuang Mingyue was completely speechless and just walked quickly towards the door with Li Yuhan in her arm.

Li Yuhan remained expressionless, but in her heart she was thinking that Zhuang Mingyue really didn't know how to appreciate the blessings she had.

Arriving at the crowded shopping mall, Zhuang Mingyue felt secretly worried when she saw the enthusiastic glances cast at her from time to time. She knew without thinking that these glances were directed at Zhan Yan behind her.

There's nothing we can do about it, this man is the focus wherever he goes!

Li Yuhan saw Zhuang Mingyue's mood fade and thought she was feeling unwell. "Are you feeling unwell again?"

Zhuang Mingyue covered her chest mischievously with her hands and smiled bitterly.

Li Yuhan was immediately nervous and prepared to call Zhan Yan, but was immediately stopped by Zhuang Mingyue. She made a hushing gesture and prepared to shake off Zhan Yan.

When they turned a corner, Zhuang Mingyue suddenly covered her stomach and pretended to be in pain. As expected, the person behind her pulled her back almost reflexively and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to go to the bathroom." Zhuang Mingyue smiled helplessly, "Do you want to come with me?"

Unexpectedly, the man smiled creepily, "If you want to..."

Before the man could finish the second half of his sentence, Zhuang Mingyue hurriedly shook off Fan Yan's hand like a sieve and walked quickly towards the bathroom.

Li Yuhan followed and found out that Zhuang Mingyue wanted to get rid of the banquet. She hesitated, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Zhuang Mingyue looked at her pitifully, "I've been bored at home for too long, and I have to be followed when I go out. Who do you think can stand this?"

This logic makes sense, but Li Yuhan always felt that Zhuang Mingyue should feel happy because Zhan Yan treated her like this. After all, not every woman can receive such love.

Zhuang Mingyue washed her hands and pulled Li Yuhan to follow the two aunts without going to the bathroom. She saw Zhan Yan answering the phone not far away and his subordinates staring at them vigilantly. She immediately felt worried.

"Yuhan, how about you..." Zhuang Mingyue tiptoed and whispered her thoughts in Li Yuhan's ear.

Li Yuhan went out first, diverting the attention of Zhan Yan's men. Zhuang Mingyue followed the crowd into the elevator, and Li Yuhan came in soon.

Zhan Yan and his men were still waiting, but they didn't see Zhuang Mingyue and Li Yuhan come out. They felt something was wrong.

Zhuang Mingyue and Li Yuhan had already taken a taxi to another shopping mall where there were not many people. She was trying on clothes when Zhan Yan called. She simply turned on the silent mode of her phone and didn't even look at it.

Li Yuhan's phone rang, and Zhuang Mingyue advised her, "Don't answer it. It's too conspicuous to be with him!"

Zhan Yan here was so angry that his face turned pale. He checked Zhuang Mingyue's GPS, sent a few men to keep an eye on her, and then left.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't know that she had been targeted, and she happily bought a lot of clothes from Li Yuhan, which were packed and mailed back to Nanyuan Villa by the store clerk.

Until dark, Zhuang Mingyue was still reluctant to go home. It was only after Li Yuhan persuaded her that she reluctantly went back. However, when she arrived at the door of the villa, she did not dare to go in and just stood there for a long time.

It was not until Meilin came over that Zhuang Mingyue asked carefully, "Is he back?"

Meilin uttered a puzzled "ah", then realized that the wife was talking about the husband. She remembered the husband's instructions and immediately said, "He hasn't come back yet."

Zhuang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood immediately improved. "Have all the clothes I bought today arrived?"

Meilin nodded and took her into the villa.

When Zhuang Mingyue walked outside the living room, she was still confused. It was still so early but the lights in the living room were off. They couldn't be that kind of people who save electricity!

Zhuang Mingyue was just about to turn around and ask Meilin, but she didn't know when she left. She was the only one left in the entire courtyard. It was dark all around and it was a bit creepy.

As soon as she entered the living room, Zhuang Mingyue felt as if her toes had kicked something. She bent down and took a closer look, only to find that it was the clothes that had been delivered to her door.

Just when I felt relieved, I saw the lights around me were about to turn on... I thought to myself, she didn't find the switch either?

The man was walking slowly up the stairs, with no emotion on his face, but Zhuang Mingyue's heart still tightened. Was she afraid that Zhan Yan had come to settle the score with her?

Before Zhan Yan arrived, Zhuang Mingyue had already walked out of the living room, looking cautious and nervous.

The arc at the corner of Zhan Yan's mouth was full of meaning. Zhuang Mingyue didn't understand it at all. She could only lower her head and count until the man's shiny leather shoes appeared in her sight. She couldn't help but close her eyes.

The cold touch made Zhuang Mingyue's brain buzz. She closed her eyes again when she saw the enlarged, delicate face of Zhan Yan.

"Open it and take a look." After she was almost out of breath, Zhan Yan came over to Zhuang Mingyue and handed her a bright orange gift box.

Zhan Yan's behavior made Zhuang Mingyue feel guilty, "I didn't mean to run away today."

After taking the bright orange jewelry box, she couldn't hide her love and anticipation. She sat down on the sofa and solemnly opened the lid. In the box lay a silver necklace inlaid with diamonds, which was simple and elegant in style.

Thinking of the necklace she lost abroad last time, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. It turned out that Zhan Yan remembered it.

"I haven't let you go out these days, and I'm just holding you back." Zhan Yan knew that some of his ideas and actions were unreasonable, but that was the most suitable for Zhuang Mingyue at the moment. Sometimes he had to be hungry for a while.

Zhuang Mingyue said nothing, but she had already forgiven Zhan Yan in her heart.
