Wen Xuxu opened her eyes and looked over . Mu Li stood below the staircase wearing a black dress, looking up at her with her head raised .
Within a span of a few days, this elegant and beautiful-looking Aunt Mu seemed to have rapidly aged .
Feeling guilty, Xuxu cried hard . "Sob . . . "
She buried her head between her legs, completely unable to accept the truth of Grandmother's demise .
It had happened too unexpectedly, and it was all because of her . It was utterly impossible for her to allay her guilt .
"Xuxu, don't cry anymore . " Mu Li went upstairs and sat beside Xuxu . Feeling sorry for her, she gave her a hug . "Grandmother doted on you the most . If she saw you in this state, she'd be heartbroken . "

As she said this, tears also fell down her cheeks .
She had always been proud of her mother-in-law, Wang Daqin .
Not only was she a successful career woman in the corporate world, but she was also a virtuous mother-in-law who had built a harmonious household .
Two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren . Yet, there were no tussles among the family members nor did any of them vie for power and inheritance .
Choking with emotions, Xuxu shook her head . "Grandmother is gone . I'm the cause of her death . "
"Accidents are always unexpected . Don't reproach yourself . " Mu Li wept and said, "You've always been a filial child . In the future, lead a happy life with Xiaosheng . "
Now that the two children were finally together, the old lady should have passed on with no regrets .

However, having come together this way, she couldn't help but worry about their marriage life ahead .
"Aunt Mu Li!" Xuxu buried her head in Mu Li's bosom and wailed .
Back then, when her parents had suddenly passed away, she was still ignorant about human relations and the ways of the world . But now, she was well aware of the pain and grief one felt when a close family member departed .
Lightly pushing Xuxu away, Mu Li went on to wipe off her tears . "Don't cry anymore . Third Yan left to send your grandfather home, and he should be back soon . "
Having said that, Yan Rusheng's towering figure could be seen coming in from outside .
He was also dressed in black . As he entered through the door, he caught sight of Mu Li and Xuxu sitting at the staircase; Xuxu was sobbing hard like a child .
Without changing his shoes, he walked directly to the staircase .
He went upstairs and noticed that Xuxu was curled up tight and barefooted . She looked so small and pitiful, and he couldn't bear to scold her .
"Xuxu, Third Yan is back . " Mu Li gently patted Xuxu on her back and turned her head towards Yan Rusheng . "Have you sent Xuxu's grandfather home?"
"Mm," Yan Rusheng replied with a nod . He reached down and lifted Xuxu from Mu Li's arms .
With his back facing downstairs, he gave out a command with a trace of coldness . "Send up some porridge . "
After that, he climbed up the stairs and carried Xuxu into the room, laying her down on his bed which was full of his scent .
Just when he was about to withdraw his arms from her, Xuxu grabbed them without warning . She looked at him with tears in her eyes . "Yan Rusheng, we . . . "
Yan Rusheng interrupted her before she could finish . "We're already married . You're now Yan Rusheng's wife . You must bear in mind that you're already a married woman and your husband is Yan Rusheng . "
He paused for a moment and continued, "This is now your permanent home . However unwilling, you'll have to share the same bed with me and bear my children . "
His voice was cold, and his words served as a warning to her .
Devoid of any trace of warmth and emotion .
When Xuxu heard the word 'children', her face turned as white as a sheet, and she clenched her fingers subconsciously .
Yan Rusheng could clearly sense her unusual behavior and looked down at her tiny hand which was still gripping his arm . "Why? Are you not willing?"
