After Xunyi went home, Deming was already awake and doing his work at his home office. She entered his room and brought some warm soup and vegetables for him to eat.
"Still working on that case?" She asked.
"Hm. It's not as easy as some previous cases. Did you meet up with Susie?" He asked while he looked through some files.
"Yes. She asked her friend who's a private investigator and he said your parent's body is still at the hospital morgue. Do you want to go and confirm? If you're going, I'm going with you." Xunyi's back was against the edge of his desk. She waited for Deming's reply as she flipped through a book.
"Let's go together." He finally replied after thinking for five minutes.
"Let's go tomorrow. But first, you need to eat. You just got better." She looked at Deming while he ate the food heartily. She placed his light jacket on his back because the room was a bit cool in temperature. Deming smiled at her and he held her hand as he quickly finished eating.
"What should we do for the rest of the day?" He asked her while holding onto her hand. Xunyi looked at her watch and it was already evening.
"It's too late to go outside. What do you want to do?" She asked him while he carefully stood up without using the cane. Xunyi held onto him while they went to the living room.
"Xunyi..." His whisper gave Xunyi goosebumps, "I'll be gentle."
"Deming... we should do this in the bedroom... otherwise we'll make a mess." Xunyi was worried for the maid because they will indeed make a mess.
"We'll just clean it afterward." He leaned forward and touched her soft lips then he held her. He slowly laid down Xunyi on the sofa pillow. Her rosy cheeks and soft lips made his heart beat faster. He can't resist anymore.
"Deming, you still need your rest. We can do this later---" Before she could finish, they already locked their lips. She closed her eyes and grasped the edge of the sofa. Everything went too fast and she didn't even have time to think. She slowly gave in and held him. She was glad they were the only ones at home.
"Xunyi, you look so beautiful." He gently caressed her hair and she smiled gently, "You look handsome as always." They locked their lips once again and they didn't care about anything else.

It's been a couple of weeks since they went to the hospital morgue, Deming's parents will finally be at peace. They were buried beside Li Xun, Deming's best friend and assistant. Xunyi held his hand as they walked through the cemetery.
"Xunyi, thank you." He kissed her forehead and Xunyi embraced him.
"They're finally at peace." She smiled as a single tear dropped on to the ground. Deming walked slowly ever since he stopped using the cane for support. His endurance improved a lot. As they went down the cemetery, Xunyi received a phone call from her grandparents.
"Hello, grandma?" Xunyi was glad to hear her grandma's voice after such a long time.
"Xunyi, when are you going to visit us? We haven't seen you ever since you got back to China."
"Grandma, is this afternoon okay?"
"Of course, you should also bring Lawyer Jiang. He's been supporting you for a long time. Make sure to call him and ask him to come."
"I will, grandma. See you soon." Xunyi looked at Deming and asked if he was okay with it. He nodded. Before they went to visit, they stopped at the supermarket. After getting some fruits, Xunyi saw Lee lining up at the cashier. Lee wore a nice suit and his hair was neatly done. He looked very handsome when he was just standing there.
"Deming, let me introduce you to someone. He helped you find your parents." Xunyi tapped on Lee's shoulder and he was very surprised to see her. His eyes lit up.
"Xunyi! It's been a while, how are you doing? He must be Lawyer Jiang, am I correct?" Lee looked at Deming who wasn't interested in saying hi.
"I'm Lee. Nice to meet you, Lawyer Jiang."
Xunyi nudged Deming to shake Lee's hand, "Deming... he's waiting..." Deming sighed and extended his hand to Lee, "Same to you."
Lee looked at Xunyi and laughed, "I'm sorry, I was just too excited to see you. Are you doing well?" Xunyi nodded, "We're actually buying some fruit for my grandparents since we're visiting them in a few hours. How about you? Is your sister with you?"
Lee nodded and replied, "My sister is nearby, she needed to look at some make-up product while she wanted me to get some fruits and vegetables."
"Lee, thank you for your help. I still haven't treated you a meal yet." Xunyi felt guilty because she completely forgot about it.
"No worries, whenever you have time. Lawyer Jiang, it's nice to meet you. Take care, you guys! I have to go now." Xunyi nodded and waved goodbye to Lee. Deming looked like he was going to kill someone. She looked at him and nudged his elbow.
"Deming, he already left. What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about teaching someone a lesson." He looked pissed and walked away. Xunyi trailed behind him and tried to explain herself.
"Deming! Are you mad?" Xunyi chuckled a bit and he looked at her, "The way Lee looked at you, I don't like it." Xunyi smiled and held his hand, "You're jealous, aren't you?"
"No, I never get jealous." He looked away.
"You are! You are jealous!" Xunyi held his handsome face with her two soft hands, "Deming, I'm glad you are jealous. But you should trust me, I only love you." She tiptoed and gave him a kiss on his cheek, "Don't worry, I will always be yours. You need to trust me, okay?" He nodded and embraced her. Deming didn't want to lose anyone in his life again.
