Qin Muni glanced sideways at Yuan Chengmo, who was also staring straight at the stage, then turned her gaze back to the front.
"In the three years since I married Yisen, I’ve been receiving anonymous text messages, all showing scenes of Yisen and Xia Yuge together.
The last time I asked you to help trace the IP address, I received a call from the other party. Because he used a voice changer, I couldn’t recognize his voice. He told me on the phone that the game wasn’t over."
Yuan Chengmo speculated that the anonymous person’s intentions were not simple, but upon hearing from Qin Muni that the other party had been sending her messages for over three years, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
"Don’t worry, I’ll help you find out who it is."
As soon as the words fell, a soft line from an actor drifted into her ears: "Do not waste the bright moonlight, pity the shadow of the flowers."
Qin Muni suddenly tilted her head, curiously staring at Yuan Chengmo’s handsome profile, and asked, "Senior, after knowing you for so many years, I’ve never seen you date any girl. Do you have someone you like?"
Yuan Chengmo was slightly taken aback for two seconds before slowly turning his head to look at Qin Muni, who was staring at him curiously.
A faint ripple slowly arose in the depths of his pupils, then he softly replied, "Yes."
"The girl who is liked by Senior must be very happy."
The look in Yuan Chengmo’s eyes as he gazed at Qin Muni grew more ethereal and hazy, "I don’t know."
"Huh? You don’t know? Hasn’t Senior confessed to her?"
Afraid that Qin Muni would see through his emotions, Yuan Chengmo nonchalantly shifted his gaze to the side, "No. I haven’t."
This was the first time in ten years since knowing Yuan Chengmo that they had talked about his romantic issues, so Qin Muni was exceptionally interested.
"Because, I’m afraid my affection might become a burden to her." His voice unintentionally carried a hint of bitterness and helplessness.
Yuan Chengmo rarely showed such a vulnerable side in front of Qin Muni, and Qin Muni could tell that he probably cared deeply for the woman he liked.
She sighed slightly, then encouraged, "No way, my senior is so excellent. Any girl you fancy should consider herself lucky."
Yuan Chengmo didn’t answer. His face turned away from Qin Muni, and those exquisite eyes were unfathomable yet seemed shrouded in a mysterious mist.
Hearing her words of encouragement, Yuan Chengmo’s lips curled into a helpless smile.
A moment later, after calming his emotions, he slowly tilted his head back to look at Qin Muni, giving her his habitual cheerful smile, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to set off fireworks."
Qin Muni could naturally see his attempt to avoid the topic. She nodded, "Okay."
It was already late in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually darkening as the temperature dropped.
The cold wind blew with a whistling sound, making people shiver involuntarily.
However, this couldn’t stop the village children from being enthusiastic about fireworks and firecrackers. On their way back, a lot of children were setting off fireworks by the roadside.
Qin Muni slightly raised her scarf to shield her mouth and nose from the cold wind. She smiled and said, "Senior, even though we didn’t find the person, getting out and about is actually nice."
"I think the important thing isn’t where you go, but who you’re with. I’m really envious you have such a handsome, gentle, and considerate man to accompany you for a walk."
"Tsk tsk, you’re so full of yourself you don’t even feel guilty."
Yuan Chengmo didn’t answer her. Instead, a low chuckle escaped his throat. His pleasant laughter echoed along the quiet street, drawing the attention of the children setting off fireworks.
