Because of the time difference, Xuxu woke up before dawn again .
Yan Rusheng was still sound asleep, so she got off the bed as quietly as she could . She switched on her laptop and started working .
After Yan Rusheng had woken up, they hurriedly grabbed a bite before heading to Mu Li's place .
They didn't visit her yesterday, and that made Madam Mu Li bitter and upset .
When they got into the car, Yan Rusheng felt that there was something in his pocket . He stretched his hand to reach for it . Upon pulling it out, he realized it was a neatly folded handkerchief .
He unfolded it . On it, there was a picture of a sleeping cat with four words at a corner: 'xuxu rusheng' .

He dangled the handkerchief in front of Xuxu . He raised an eyebrow while feigning ignorance . "Wen Xuxu, why do I have a handkerchief in my pocket?"
Xuxu snapped at him . "You obviously know!"
Who else would stuff things inside his pockets but her? And who else would dare to touch his precious and expensive clothes?
Yan Rusheng lightly smirked . "Did you give me this?"
He brought the handkerchief back to his nose and sniffed it . "It has a stupid woman smell on it . "
"Give it back if you don't want it . " Xuxu tried to snatch the handkerchief away .
Yan Rusheng grasped the handkerchief tightly in his palm . He lazily quipped, "It's quite childish and cliche, but since you gave it to me I will still cherish it . "

Xuxu glared at him . "Carry on gloating then . "
Yan Rusheng stopped his teasing . He carefully folded the handkerchief and kept it inside his pocket once more .
Xuxu contemplated for a moment before she sternly barked out a warning . "If you lose it this time, I will not let you off . "
"I won't . " Yan Rusheng smiled as he promised her . "I will keep it with me every day as if I'm keeping a miniature Wen Xuxu in my pockets . "
Xuxu chose to overlook the second part of his sentence and was rather pleased with his promise .

They were able to enjoy three days of holiday all because of New Year's Day . They left two days before the occasion since it was already time to head back to work .
They had a quick meal at Mu Li's place before rushing out to catch the flight back home .
It was already midnight when they reached the capital city .
Qiao Jian came to fetch them . Xuxu couldn't get a wink of sleep throughout the flight, so sleepiness washed over her once they got inside the car .
Yan Rusheng's cell phone rang when they were almost home .
The ringing slightly annoyed Xuxu, but she continued her nap after shifting to a different sleeping position .
Yan Rusheng glanced at the screen and silenced it . He caught a glimpse of Xuxu before answering the call . He muttered, "Why did you call?"
"Get a nurse over . I'm too busy . "
Yan Rusheng had briefly instructed the person over the phone and hung up .
Xuxu woke up once again despite Yan Rusheng's hushed conversation . She sleepily rubbed her eyes and noticed that Yan Rusheng didn't look too happy . It puzzled her, and so she asked, "Who called?"
Yan Rusheng managed a brief smile and shook his head . "It's work . "
The car entered the courtyard . Xuxu and Yan Rusheng were surprised to see the house still brightly lit .
Aunt Zhang was a very thrifty person and she wouldn't have switched all the lights on since the only person at home with her was the butler .
The butler opened the courtyard gates when he saw Yan Rusheng's car approaching .
A silver Mercedes was parked in the courtyard, and the headlights were so bright that they couldn't clearly see the car plate .
