How about it?

On the way back, Ning Su said, "Did you see that? They've gotten back together, so you should just give up completely!"

Jiang Ning's eyes were red-rimmed. "Mom, but I'm not resigned to this! If he and Wen Shuang can get back together, why can't we? I begged him so humbly—I've never lowered myself like that for anyone!"

"That's because he has truly fallen in love with Miss Wen." Whenever Ning Su mentioned Wen Shuang, her expression was always laced with tenderness. "Besides, Miss Wen is worthy of his affection. They are a perfect match!"

"Miss Wen is worthy, so I'm not? Mom, why are you always speaking up for that Wen Shuang? Clearly, I am your daughter!" Jiang Ning protested indignantly.

Ning Su stroked her daughter's face. "Ningning, of course you are the most important person in my heart! I just want to tell you that some things, once spilled, can never be gathered up again. Being too persistent will only end up hurting yourself!"

As she said this, memories of the past involuntarily surfaced in her mind. A faint sorrow lingered in her eyes.

Jiang Ning could not fathom that sorrow. She still refused to give up!

Wen Shuang and Ji Shen spent a perfect New Year's Eve.

Both physically and emotionally, the two of them took a significant step closer!

The next day, when Ji Shen turned on his phone, it was flooded with missed calls from his mother. He frowned and answered.

Ji Mother's furious voice came through the receiver, "Ah-Shen, what is wrong with you! I called you all night and you didn't answer. Where on earth did you go?"

Ji Shen got out of bed quietly, terrified that the phone call would wake Wen Shuang. He walked outside and said, "I had matters to attend to last night."

"Your matter was to go keep that little vixen Wen Shuang company?" Madam Ji had been so angry she hadn't been able to sleep all night.

Ji Shen knitted his brows tightly. "Please don't speak of Wen Shuang that way! That's right, I was with Wen Shuang, but something happened at her home, which is why I went."

"New Year's Eve is for family reunion. Every other family gathers together, but you—you actually ran off to accompany some woman. Does that Wen Shuang not have any family of her own?!" Madam Ji grew increasingly enraged.

Seeing that reasoning with her was futile, Ji Shen simply stopped arguing! "I'll make my stance clear right here: regardless of whether you like Wen Shuang or not, the fact that she is my girlfriend will never change!"

Ji Shen hung up the phone. When he turned around, he found that Wen Shuang had already woken up.

"Brother Shen..."

Flustered, Ji Shen hurriedly shoved his phone back into his trouser pocket. "Why aren't you sleeping a bit longer? You woke up just like that."

They had carried on until the late hours of last night!

Wen Shuang pouted. "With you not by my side, I can't fall asleep..."

"All right, all right. I won't go to work today; I'll stay right here and sleep with you." Ji Shen's eyes were filled with smiles as he reached out to wrap his arms around Wen Shuang's slender waist.

Instead, Wen Shuang took a step back. "I heard that phone call just now. Your mother... doesn't like me."

Without a word of hesitation, Ji Shen pulled Wen Shuang straight into his embrace. "What are you imagining?"

"I heard it, Brother Shen... Your mother has never liked me." She lowered her gaze.

"That's just because she has no taste!" Ji Shen kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, Grandma likes you! And I like you! Her opinion alone doesn't matter!"

Wen Shuang reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's waist. Once again, she was beginning to rely on Ji Shen uncontrollably.

"I don't ever want to go back to the Wen family again. That cold place full of schemes and plots—I don't like it."

"Alright! Then we won't go back. From now on, this place is your home!"

Following New Year's Eve came the Spring Festival.

Wen Yao had regained consciousness.

Aunt Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief, though back in the hospital room, she still launched into a frantic tirade against Wen Shuang.

Wen Fanhai grew sick of listening. Unable to endure it any longer, he snapped that it was enough.

Only then did Aunt Chun shut her mouth!

Wen Fanhai tried calling Wen Shuang's cell phone, but she hung up on every single call. He let out a deep sigh, knowing that Wen Shuang was throwing a tantrum.

Throughout the rest of the Spring Festival holiday, Wen Shuang never set foot in the Wen household once.

Ji Shen only returned to the Ji family once, purely to visit his grandmother.

Yet Grandmother Ji declared, "Goodness! You brat, you finally have a holiday, you don't need to keep coming back here so often. Your main objective right now is just to keep Shuangshuang company!"

Madam Ji was furious and desperately wanted to retort, but restrained by the presence of Old Mrs. Ji, she didn't dare say much!

With Grandmother Ji's blessing, Ji Shen took Wen Shuang to Changbai Mountain to view Heaven Lake together and go skiing.

Accompanying them were Yu Tian and his female companion, Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou could be considered the female companion who had stayed by Yu Tian's side the longest. Not only did her figure and appearance completely align with Yu Tian's aesthetic tastes, but Zhou Zhou was also considerate and possessed a high emotional intelligence. Having such a woman by his side made going out a pleasant experience for any man.

Wen Shuang and Zhou Zhou hit it off quite well. Having followed Yu Tian for a long time, Zhou Zhou was worldly and experienced. Wen Shuang listened to her with rapt attention.

"Honestly though, Shuangshuang, I envy you the most! Look at Police Officer Ji now—his heart and eyes are entirely filled with you."

Zhou Zhou had thought it a great pity when she previously heard that Wen Shuang and Ji Shen had broken up, as the two of them had looked so well-matched. She had assumed that once a couple broke up like that, there was no possibility of reconciliation.

Never had she expected them to get back together! And after this reconciliation, anyone with eyes could see that Ji Shen treated Wen Shuang even better than before!

Wen Shuang smiled and said, "What is there to envy about me? You haven't seen him when he's trying to piss me off—he can be utterly odious."

Zhou Zhou remarked, "You can tell that Police Officer Ji treats you sincerely!"

As for herself... she had no idea how much longer she would be able to stay by Yu Tian's side. She knew there must be other women in Yu Tian's life.

Wen Shuang let out a light laugh.

Ji Shen had booked a luxury hotel near Changbai Mountain. With a single pull of the floor-to-ceiling curtains, the towering expanse of Changbai Mountain came into view right before their eyes.

Just standing inside the room, Wen Shuang was awestruck by the magnificent scenery!

Kyoto was in the south, and it rarely snowed in winter. Since childhood, she had never seen so much snow blanketing an entire mountain in pristine white.

"Is it pretty?"

"Pretty!"

"If we climb up the mountain tomorrow, it will be even prettier."

Wen Shuang beamed brightly. "Then you must remember to take pretty photos of me. I'll need to post them on my Moments to show off properly!"

With doting affection, Ji Shen pinched the tip of her nose lightly. "No problem."

As they spoke, Ji Shen untied the straps of her clothes from behind. Unawares, Wen Shuang felt her garments slip down.

"It's not even dark yet, why are you at it again..." She grabbed the slender straps, refusing to let them fall. "Besides, I wanted to go out and look around before dark."

Instead, Ji Shen said, "We're staying here for three or four days, there's no rush! We can take our time looking around tomorrow. Let's get down to business first right now!"

The indoor heating in the north was exceptionally warm.

Still refusing, Wen Shuang protested, "We've been at it these past few days, I'm already tired. We finally came out on a trip, can't you let me rest for a few more days?"

Ji Shen replied, "Shuangshuang, doing this is a pleasure!"

Without allowing any room for objection, he undid Wen Shuang's clothes!

Having done this so many times, Ji Shen had long since figured out all of Wen Shuang's sensitive spots. With just a little bit of provocation, the woman was unable to handle it anymore. Soon enough, she melted into a pool of spring water beneath his hands.

"Shuangshuang, let's not use protection today, all right?"
