She opened the cupboard, where several pieces of decent fabric were hanging, along with a few women’s and men’s garments.
All JY brand, all clothes belonging to her and Mu Yichen.
For a time, he often lingered here, so she had Xiaomei bring a few outfits for him to wear. Later, when he stayed over, he would wear them.
But in the end, these clothes remained here.
Qin Mu gently caressed the fabric of the clothes. They were outdated, but memories never fade.
When she released the suit, she inadvertently glanced at a white bag inside, containing a white packaging box. Something came to mind, and her heart trembled violently, her nose tingling, and her eyes began to heat up.
Yet, that door was quietly closed by her.
Along with those memories and the regrets of that time, all locked inside the cupboard.
Some things, no matter how genuine, over time, missed the moment they should have been spoken, losing their original meaning, however true.

Mu Qingxin was out shopping with Feng Fanghua and the children when she received a call from Qin Mu.
“Go check on him, he’s got a pretty severe fever!”
Qin Mu said only this before hanging up, leaving Mu Qingxin holding the phone to her ear, unconsciously furrowing her brow like a rare adult, and then letting out a helpless sigh.
Feng Fanghua, walking ahead, turned her head, seeing her expression, curiously asked, “Did Qin Mu call you? What’s wrong?”
“She said my brother is ill and asked me to take care of him.”
Mu Qingxin mentioned.
“Your brother is sick?”
Feng Fanghua’s expression also turned serious.
“It’s a fever, don’t worry too much!”
Mu Qingxin quickly explained.
Feng Fanghua nodded, then instinctively glanced at Mu Qingxin again, “Then why isn’t Qin Mu there to take care of him?”
“Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? You didn’t want them to reconcile, did you?”
Mu Qingxin said a bit sadly.
After a few moments of silence, Feng Fanghua chuckled, “Yes, that’s indeed what I wanted.”
“Grandma, Auntie, what are you doing? Hurry up, we’re going to the elevator!”
The three children ran ahead. The upper floors of the mall had a super large amusement park, which, despite having one at home, the children always preferred to play outside, where there were unfamiliar kids.
Mu Qingxin then quickly chased after Feng Fanghua.
Later, Feng Fanghua asked Mu Qingxin to mind the kids while she went downstairs to shop.
In reality, she went to make a call.

Chen Xiaoyi was dropped off at Mu Yichen’s apartment building, brought by a young man about her age, dressed casually, yet not carelessly.
Chen Xiaoyi held the car handle for a while, her expression extremely suppressed, but eventually, she opened the car door and walked toward the apartment entrance, carrying her bag.
From the car, the man watched her walk away, his chest trembled slightly, and his hand gripping the steering wheel was so tight that his veins began to show.
Once inside the elevator, Chen Xiaoyi’s tears silently began to fall.
Mu Yichen had long known she had a boyfriend and that they once loved each other. Mu Yichen urged her to follow her heart and reclaim that love, but…
What if that person doesn’t want to be with her?
Their first meeting, she had deceived her true identity. But in love, does identity truly matter so much?
Just because she’s become some bigwig’s daughter, does it mean she’s unworthy of love?
Even now, he refuses to accept her, and he can still send her here.
All of Rongcheng knows about her ambiguous relationship with Mu Yichen, yet the man who once loved her still, knowing accurately where she was headed, brought her here.
Pained, she began to tremble.
