He Lixue and Lu Nanfeng returned to the mansion; both of their moods were low. Although they had dealt with Lin Xiulan and had shown Di Zhiqing her real colors, the fact that she had tried to fake a pregnancy, and even claiming that Lu Nanfeng was the father left a sour taste in both their mouths.

"Dearest, thank you for trusting in me," Lu Nanfeng said with a low voice, as he looked at He Lixue with adoration in his eyes. 

"Who would I believe in, if not you?" He Lixue asked with a wry smile on her face. "We have been through so much together; you have long since become the support I need in life."

Hearing her words, Lu Nanfeng felt a warm current flow through his body, and most of his unpleasantness vanished, leaving a trace of sweetness. 

He reached out and grabbed her petite hand in his, pinched her fingers gently, and smiled sweetly while looking at her. All the unpleasant thoughts vanished, and he felt as if everything was fine as long as she was by his side. 

Smiling at one another, they felt fulfilled. Their mood instantly lifted, and He Lixue went to the kitchen to prepare their dinner. 

Ever since they had gotten together, she had been cooking for the two of them. Sometimes Lu Nanfeng would help, but other times, when he would be working and returning home to food that was piping hot and waiting for him.

In those days, he felt blessed, as if he had found himself a little wife. His mood was excellent, and now that the problems with the Organization were dealt with, he could return to the peaceful life, just the two of them. 

Lu Nanfeng was aware that now that the Organization had been dealt with; it was time for her to deal with the He family. 

She wanted the He family to cough up all the money they had stolen from her, including all her properties, and the company that her father left behind. 

Although she could use her computer skills to get what she wanted, that would have been illegal, and He Lixue had decided to step out of the Abyss. As such, she had to come up with a solution to solve her problems legally.

Initially, it should have been impossible to change the properties and money that He Lixue owned, but there was a loophole in the law.

He Lixue had been unable to make decisions on her own, and the court had made He Weiling her guardian. Everything that belonged to He Lixue was under his control, and he could use it as he pleased. 

But that did not mean that He Lixue was helpless. She was no longer just the princess who had been raised like a bird in a cage, she was also the woman who had crawled her way through countless corpses, and her ruthlessness was not to be underestimated. She had even killed her own teacher for the sake of a new beginning. Naturally, she would not let herself suffer a loss.

He Lixue was humming a song as she was cooking their dinner. Her mood had been turbulent all day, and she had been disgusted by Lin Xiulan, but now she was in a good mood again, her eyes sparkling with life as she stirred in the pot of soup. 

Before Lu Nanfeng knew He Lixue, he had always been eating outside. He never knew the bliss of home cooked food, or the happiness that it brought to see his woman cook for him in the kitchen.

Although He Lixue was not the best chef around, she was not bad either. She knew how to cook, and the food had a homely feel to it, which made Lu Nanfeng prefer it to even the five-star chefs at the most upscale areas in the city.

As He Lixue was cooking, Lu Nanfeng went towards the kitchen. He leaned against the doorframe and looked at her with his eyes overflowing with tenderness. 

This woman was special. Although he was used to be the one protecting everyone, he knew that she had been the one to protect him earlier when she shot Mo Yunhuang. 

Although Lu Nanfeng was ruthless in business, he had not killed anyone before, and He Lixue did not want to see him soil his hands with blood. 

Lu Nanfeng was aware that this was He Lixue's attempt at protecting him, and although he was slightly embarrassed to see that she killed Mo Yunhuang, he accepted her wish, and would not get blood on his hands. 

At the same time, even though Lu Nanfeng had never killed, and was quite daunted by the thought of killing, he was not alienating himself from He Lixue although she had killed someone. 

When He Lixue finished cooking, she moved the four dishes and a soup to the table and glanced at Lu Nanfeng. A slight smile was tugging at his lips. 

She looked into his eyes and saw his tenderness for her, the love that was overflowing, and the sweetness that could not be hidden. 

Looking into those eyes, He Lixue felt as if she was drowning. Her heart swelled with happiness, and a slight smile also appeared on her lips. 

"Want to eat?" She asked, her voice sweet and soft. Lu Nanfeng looked at her, his eyes scanning her body from top to bottom before he reluctantly looked at the table full of food. 

"I guess we can eat the meal first," he said, his eyebrows rising and his lips curving. "After that, we can try to make a baby. I mean, mother seemed to be quite eager for a grandchild, and we can show Lin Xiulan what a real pregnancy looks like."
