Xia Yan tidied herself up and exited the bathroom when she saw Du Xia walking in. “Young Master Mo He said he’s busy and doesn’t have the time to come and see you,” Du Xia said expressionlessly.
Xia Yan only shrugged as she guessed Mo He would react that way. “Well, since I have nothing to do around here, you can leave and get some rest. I want to get some sleep as well,” Xia Yan said as she stretched.
“Oh,” Du Xia replied as she hesitated before leaving the room.
Xia Yan then picked up her phone and contacted her best friend, Jiang Tong.
“How’s it going, newlywed? How’s your first day at the Mo family residence?” Jiang Tong teased.
“Go ahead and make fun of me.” Xia Yan leaned lazily against the bed’s headboard and gently tugged at her mask. Then she looked around the room and frowned.
“What? Are you disappointed that the groom isn’t there to accompany you on your wedding night?” Jiang Tong giggled.
“Forget about the groom. I haven’t seen anyone else besides his servants!” Xia Yan scolded as she sounded listless.
“It’s not like you to say such things, Xia Yan.” Jiang Tong was surprised. “Didn’t you try winning your mother-in-law’s favor?”
“They’ve grounded me in my room. How am I supposed to do that?” Xia Yan sighed deeply.
“You’re grounded? How is that possible?!” Jiang Tong laughed aloud. “No one can ground you!”
Xia Yan nodded and smiled, “You know me better than anyone else.”
“Then what are you planning to do?” Jiang Tong asked curiously.
“I’m going to build a healthy relationship with my new family,” Xia Yan replied casually.
Jiang Tong laughed heartily and stopped after a while. Then her tone changed as she said excitedly, “By the way, I have some great news for you.”

“What is it?” Xia Yan blinked and noticed something. “D-Did you pass the trial?”
“Not just that. It was also well-received!” Rustling sounds echoed from the phone as if Jiang Tong was looking for something. The two had waited for nearly half a year for this day.
“I’ll take a picture and send it to you, so I’ll hang up for now.” Then Jiang Tong immediately hung up the phone without waiting for Xia Yan’s reply.
Xia Yan was stunned when she heard the clicking sound from her phone. Immediately after, he got a notification on her phone. She opened the message and saw the approval record of Jiang Tong’s work and evaluation instructions.
Xia Yan flipped through the evaluation records and received another notification. She opened the message and saw a congratulations emoji that Jiang Tong made of her profile picture.
Xia Yan couldn’t decide if she should laugh or cry when she saw the emoji. After a long while, she sent a voice message, “I’ll have to trouble you and Qui Kai to keep me posted. Thank you for all your hard work.”
Jiang Tong quickly replied, “Ew, why are you so polite to me? Anyway, it’s getting late. You should get some rest. Oh, I wish you a happy marriage too!”
Xia Yan shook her head when she saw the reply on her screen. She didn’t know if she would be happy in this marriage, but she had to figure out a way to make the best of her situation.
Xia Yan put her phone away, changed into her pajamas, and walked toward the door. She gently opened the door, but Du Xia wasn’t there. ‘Du Xia must’ve gone to sleep, seeing as it’s almost midnight.’
Fortunately, the little girl wasn’t persistent enough to guard Xia Yan’s room for twenty-four hours. Otherwise, it would’ve been harder for Xia Yan to get past her.

Xia Yan pushed the door open and walked downstairs. The Mo family residence was quiet at this time, and only a few dim lights lit the way. There would occasionally be flashing lights outside the old residence since the guards walked around at night.
Xia Yan fumbled around, looking for the kitchen. She rummaged for something to eat, barely satisfying her hungry stomach. After exiting the kitchen, Xia Yan fixed her eyes on the direction of the stairs and reconfirmed if she was heading to the correct room.
It was Xia Yan’s first time in the Mo family residence, so she didn’t know the layout. It was difficult for her to locate her husband, Mo He.
Xia Yan heard a flirtatious laugh echoing from a room nearby. When the woman spoke, she wondered who the woman was, “Try some, Mo He. It took me a lot of time and effort to make that chicken soup.”
Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and thought of the soup she had just drunk. She smacked her lips and shook her head.
