In the early hours of the following day, Min Rui departed without even partaking in breakfast. He informed Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, "Grandma, Grandpa, I have an errand to attend to," before leaving the residence.
"Do you have any idea why your brother rushed out so early this morning?" Cai Xiufen inquired, picking up her chopsticks, her readiness to eat momentarily sidelined by her curiosity directed at Min Rui.
"Ah?" Ming Han seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, not entirely present. It wasn't until Cai Xiufen repeated her question that Ming Han shook his head, replying, "I don't know."
Hearing this, Cai Xiufen didn't press the matter further. Instead, her attention shifted to Ming Wei. "Didn't I ask you to call Vivi for breakfast? Why is Vivi still not out?"
"She hasn't woken up yet." Ming Han's mood appeared visibly dampened. He took a bite of his bun and addressed Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, "Grandma, Grandpa, let's eat our meal. There's no need to fret over Luo Mingwei; she will come to eat when she's hungry."
Cai Xiufen set down her chopsticks. "Shall I go to Vivi's room and check on her?" She cast a glance at Captain Kang, who nodded his assent. Consequently, Cai Xiufen rose and proceeded towards the room where Ming Wei was staying.
After knocking repeatedly with no response, Cai Xiufen couldn't help but push the door open. "Vivi, it's time to get up for breakfast." Ming Wei was lying on the bed with her back to the door, utterly still, appearing to be in a deep slumber.
"Vivi..." Cai Xiufen approached the bedside and gently patted the blanket. "If you don't get up, the food will soon be cold." Nevertheless, Ming Wei remained silent.
A soft sigh escaped Cai Xiufen. She found it hard to believe Ming Wei was still asleep, but what could be done if the young lady was merely pretending? Shaking her head, Cai Xiufen turned and exited the room, ensuring the door was closed behind her.
"Let's eat. Vivi is still asleep. I'll place her food on the warmer to keep it hot for her." Returning to her seat, Cai Xiufen resumed her meal.

Min Rui exited the courtyard and boarded a bus, arriving at the entrance of a small villa. "Madam, a young man who gave his surname as Luo wishes to see you," Auntie Li announced.
"...Where is he?" Feng Lu, in the midst of her breakfast, overheard Auntie Li's words. Observing no discernible change in the expression of the man seated across from her at the table, she casually posed the question to Auntie Li.
"He is waiting just outside the door," Auntie Li replied.
"I'll step out for a moment," Feng Lu said to the man at the table. To her surprise, he looked up at her. "It's cold outside; have Auntie Li bring him in." Feng Lu quickly waved her hand. "No need, no need, I'll just go out for a brief word." Indeed, this woman was Min Rui's biological mother, and the man at the dining table was Han Bin, an old acquaintance of Feng Lu and her current partner.
However, despite living together in a manner akin to a married couple, they had not formally registered their marriage. It was not Feng Lu who was hesitant, but rather Han Bin, who consistently postponed the matter, citing his daughter Han Qian's disapproval and the need for patience.
"As you wish." Han Bin continued his meal, not forgetting to admonish his daughter Han Qian to eat more.
"Dad, do you really have to be with that woman?" After Feng Lu had disappeared outside, Han Qian looked up at Han Bin. "I don't like her, not at all, and I already have a mother; I don't want to accept her as mine."
"Children should not meddle in the affairs of adults." Years ago, Feng Lu, the eldest daughter of the Feng family, alongside her two brothers, had always regarded those of the same age with an air of arrogance. Feng Lu, in particular, would either cast disdainful glances or offer indifferent responses, inflicting considerable psychological hurt upon him during his formative years. This once plunged him into self-doubt and denial, making him feel profoundly inferior.
But who could have predicted... following his family's relocation from the Feng family's grand estate, twenty years later, upon meeting Feng Lu again, the woman who once scorned him and responded with indifference had easily become intimate with him. At that moment, he experienced a mixture of elation and a strange sense of emptiness.
The girl he had secretly cherished had suddenly fulfilled his desire, yet the complication lay in her status—she was a married woman! He had become entangled with a married woman, abandoning his moral compass. After a period of hesitation, struggle, and inner turmoil, he finally terminated their inappropriate relationship.
However, another decade elapsed, and he... encountered her once more. Was this destiny? Even if it wasn't, after crossing paths three or four more times, they soon found themselves living together, resembling a conventional married couple in almost every aspect, save for the official marriage certificate.
