Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

The two hadn't seen each other for several days, and nothing could express their longing for one another better than physical intimacy.

Fang Youxi always felt that such things could only bring joy if they were done in a way that made her feel physically and mentally happy.

At 12:12 AM, this was their third time tonight, intense and frenzied.

When Fang Youxi came out of the shower, she found that it was snowing outside.

She stood in front of her bed in her pajamas with a shawl draped over her shoulders, looking outside. Snowflakes, like goose feathers, were falling gently, as if the world had fallen silent.

Fang Youxi was completely absorbed in watching it.

Mu Wangbei took out a gift and hugged her from behind: "Tangtang, happy anniversary."

Taking the gift box, she turned her head and smiled, "What anniversary?"

Mu Wangbei affectionately nuzzled her cheek: "The 160th day of our love, the tenth day of our living together."

"Who lives like that?"

"We can live like this." He was still wearing the bracelet Fang Youxi had given him, not because he wanted to return the gift, but because he wanted to give her his own sentiment.

He stroked Fang Youxi's hair with the hand that wore the black bracelet: "Every day I spend with you is a happy one."

Fang Youxi turned her head to look out the window, her entire weight resting on his chest.

Even a corpse would feel a sense of warmth at this moment if it were a man like Mu Wangbei.

"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" Mu Wangbei rested his chin on Fang Youxi's head. He could kiss the top of her head with just a slight tilt of his head. Holding her like this was a position he really liked. He felt like she was completely in his arms, and the two of them were very intimate.

Fang Youxi opened the gift box; it contained a watch.

She has spent countless amounts of money on these frivolous things since she was a child: jewelry, bags, haute couture gowns, perfumes, and even many other inexplicably expensive items that she never needs. But she rarely buys watches.

She doesn't wear a watch; for her, time doesn't hold any moments that require special treasuring.

Just live with your eyes half-closed, enjoying each day as it comes, that's fine too.

Mu Wangbei gave her a watch, a limited edition Van Cleef & Arpels, which looked quite valuable.

"What model is this?" Fang Youxi asked.

"Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux Soirée, the bridge of lovers, at dusk and dawn, may we share every moment, I love you."

He's not someone who falls in love easily. He's always been reserved and not good at expressing his feelings.

Mu Wangbei understood that his feelings for Fang Youxi were more than just liking; he loved her. Although they had only been together for 160 days, he did not feel that he was expressing his love hastily. Saying those three words felt so natural and not at all abrupt.

He was very serious about this relationship.

Fang Youxi didn't turn around or say anything. Mu Wangbei leaned over to see what she was thinking, but Fang Youxi dodged him.

Almost instantly, Fang Youxi switched modes, her eyes gleaming with a playful glint in her eye: "When did you become so smooth-talking and good at sweet talk? Did you secretly sign up for classes without telling me?"

She broke free from Mu Wangbei's embrace, closed the gift box, and laughed, "It's so expensive, I'll buy a safe and lock it up tomorrow."

"Candy~"

Fang Youxi yawned: "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

She got into bed, placed the watch gift box on the bedside table, and then turned off the lamp on her side.

Mu Wangbei wondered if he had scared her. Should he not push her too hard?

He got into bed, turned off the light, and the bedroom instantly went dark.

A section of the curtain hadn't been closed yet, letting in a faint light. The snow was falling heavier and heavier. Fang Youxi wasn't used to sleeping in each other's arms; she always hugged her pillow and lay on the edge of the bed with her back to him.

Mu Wangbei looked at Fang Youxi's back through that faint light. After a long while, when she began to breathe evenly, he went over and hugged her from behind, holding her in his arms.

Fang Youxi didn't dare to move. In the bedroom, she clearly heard Mu Wangbei let out a soft sigh.

She knew she was being a bit of a spoilsport on such a beautiful night.

But talking about love is too heavy a burden; she can't give it to someone like that right now.

She also had no way to reciprocate Mu Wangbei's love.

He seemed to be really invested in it.

Fang Youxi preferred that he only pursue sexual matters, so that the two of them would be free of burdens and pressures in their relationship.

She didn't want to talk about love, and she didn't know what love was.

Liking a person is the same as liking something. Scientifically speaking, it is influenced by hormones. The body produces dopamine, phenylethylamine, and oxytocin, which are secreted when emotions are aroused, triggering physiological reactions such as increased heart rate and excitement.

But this liking is usually time-limited, either long or short.

For example, her father and mother.

They loved each other passionately and got married quickly.

Then, finding each other disliked, they quickly parted ways.

The entire process took less than four years.

Fang Youxi didn't know how long she and Mu Wangbei could like each other, after all, they had only been together for a short 160 days, which was the time when their feelings were very strong.

She can accept any gift, no matter how expensive, because as long as money can buy it, she can afford to repay it.

But there are some she can't repay.

On Sunday, Mu Wangbei is going back to the Mu family home.

Fang Youxi chose to return to the law firm to work overtime.

Ms. Zhao Xiaojing's divorce case has been scheduled by the court, just before the Spring Festival.

If the other party doesn't want a divorce, they probably won't even agree to a clean break, let alone an equal division of assets.

Before getting married, the couple signed a whole bunch of documents that restricted each other. After having a child, they had too many incomplete legal entanglements, various investments, debts, and shares held by each other. Their assets were a complete mess, and it took Fang Youxi a lot of time to sort them out.

To be honest, the lawyer fees she received seemed substantial, but compared to the workload, it was a huge favor to Tang Ze.

Fang Youxi thought she would go through all the evidence she needed to submit again after today.

Early in the morning, after the two had breakfast, Mu Wangbei took Fang Youxi to the law firm.

She put the watch in the bedside table and didn't bring it with her today.

The reason given was that it was too valuable, and the person involved would get angry.

Fang Youxi explained with a smile: "My client was thinking, 'I'm already divorced and have a lot of legal troubles. You, as a lawyer, are making money off me to buy such an expensive watch. It's like rubbing salt into her wounds. If she knew it was a gift from her boyfriend, it would be like adding chili powder to the wound.'"

She is very good at using these dry jokes to cover up embarrassing situations.

Mu Wangbei smiled in perfect agreement.

The two remained silent throughout the car ride.

Upon arriving at the law firm, Mu Wangbei helped Fang Youxi unbuckle her seatbelt and kissed her cheek: "Call me when you're done, and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay. Drive carefully."

As she got out of the car, she habitually looked around. It was Sunday, and the building was much quieter than on weekdays; there weren't many people around.

Mu Wangbei watched her figure disappear from sight before driving away.
