Ma Rui brought them back to their home the next day. She freaked out at how roguish her skin had become. Her face also was drained of moisture. She didn't want to show her 'ugly' face to her husband, so while she left the kids at home, she went to the skincare center in a nearby town. Before leaving, she warned the kids, especially her son, "Don't do anything reckless. I've already cooked your lunch. Eat when you are hungry and don't bully Luo'er." Ma Rui gave him a final glare and then went out.
Mo Yuan was playing with marbles in the garden. He was so bored. He would've rather gone to Warrego and look for some gold. His eyes landed on the girl who was running after a blue butterfly. She didn't look timid around him like before. She opened up to him after he talked to her. He was glad that he started to speak to her properly. Seeing her like this made him feel at ease. The young girl's face flushed due to overworking herself before finally sitting down on the grass, panting softly.
