Snow continued to fall heavily and landed on the man’s black winter coat. Soon, his clothes and hair were drenched and the chill from his foot slowly throughout his entire body.

He ignored the chill and stood as still as a statue, rooted to the spot, his gaze fixed on a loving couple inside a room.

He watched as his ex-wife assisted that man as he went through his rehabilitation exercises, then wiped the sweat off that man’s forehead. They laughed and spoke as intimately as lovers.

He didn’t know how long he stood there for, he remained until the couple disappeared from view, then he closed his eyes that were dusted with snow. Icy snow had coated his eyes, but warm tears brimmed within them.

Finally, he walked toward the main road nearby where his expensive car was parked. He drove off and only his wide footprints remained in the snow, alone and lonely.

It was the 24th of December and it would soon be the night before Christmas, so it was extremely lively within Ye City despite the chill of winter. Bright lights hung everywhere and people sang festive songs.

There was no hint of festive cheer within the Mo family home.

The moment Xia Yuwei returned home, she kicked off her shoes and ran into the bedroom. Then, she started throwing pillows and blankets around like a madwoman. If she could, she would have torn the bed apart.

Li Qin who trailed closely behind her was shocked and hurriedly tried to stop her.

“Yuwei, what’s wrong with you? Why are you behaving this way?”

Xia Yuwei flung her mother-in-law’s arm off her and sat on the sofa. Then, she burst into gulping sobs, as though she had suffered a great injustice.

“Mum, Yixuan had frozen my cards. How dare he refuse to let me even spend a single cent!” Xia Yuwei sobbed out and her tears flowed freely.

Li Qin’s worries were lifted when she realized what had set her daughter-in-law off.

She walked over and stroked her back. Then, she said calmly.

“Alright, stop crying. You have been shopping a lot recently and spent quite a bit of money. Although we have no lack of money here, you shouldn’t be spending so extravagantly.”

Li Qin had also noticed the way Xia Yuwei had been spending. Why was she buying so many clothes and accessories? The trends changed every year and they didn’t have any intrinsic value at all.

Xia Yuwei grew more annoyed when she noticed that even Li Qin did not approve of her spending.

She stood up and stuck her hands in her pockets, her face pale.

“Mum… Very well… Even you disapprove of my spending habits? How dare you!” She shouted angrily and disrespectfully.

She did not know that a tall, black figure had appeared by the doorway.

Mo Yixuan clenched his hands that had turned pale from the cold and his face hardened as he exuded an aura of iciness.

In a few steps, he had appeared before her and gripped her chin with his hands, forcing her to meet his eyes.

“How dare you shout at my mother?” He asked with barely concealed rage. His black eyes burned with anger.

He gripped her chin so tightly that her chin turned red, but she clenched her hands tightly and there was no fear in her eyes.

She had enough.

“Mo Yixuan!” She shouted his name and glared angrily at him. “How dare you freeze my cards? If you are such a petty person, why did you give me those cards in the first place?” Xia Yuwei could not rein in her anger.

She had been completely humiliated today and she must have looked like a joke when she could not pay when it was time to settle the bill.
