Inside a Maybach speeding down the highway back to Hedong.
Gu Muxue was curled up listlessly in the back seat. Xiaobu was curled into a ball beside her. Gu Muxue hugged Xiaobu tightly, making the little creature struggle to escape.
"Are you going to leave me too?" Gu Muxue murmured.

"Where could I go? I told your father we'd be home in another two hours," Yang Xing said jokingly, glancing at Gu Muxue in the rearview mirror.
But Gu Muxue didn't respond, still looking utterly dejected.
No amount of coaxing from him worked. Gu Muxue was in the absolute depths of despair, and he couldn't for the life of him figure out what heinous crime Xue Rui had committed to make her this upset.
