"Yes, I was being unreasonable. I shouldn't have tried to save you, it's all my fault for having nothing better to do, reaping what I sow. Are you satisfied now?"

After speaking, Lin Fei sat back on the sofa, breathing heavily.

Mu Shanshan knew that Lin Fei was genuinely angry. She suddenly felt a bit regretful, blaming herself for being too stubborn. She knew Lin Fei meant well for her, yet she refused to show any weakness, leading to the current situation.

All it would take is an apology to Lin Fei and everything would be fine. Mu Shanshan, what are you thinking? Why can't you just lower your pride and apologize to Lin Fei? Aren't you feeling troubled yourself from this whole mess?

Mu Shanshan looked at Lin Fei, blaming herself constantly in her heart, but she couldn't let go of her pride to admit her mistake and apologize to him.

Aunt Fang in the kitchen heard their argument and quickly came out. Seeing the argument was over, but a cold war had ensued, she asked,

"What's the matter with you two, sir and miss?"

Mu Shanshan sat a little distance away from Lin Fei, calming her emotions before slowly responding.

"It's nothing, Aunt Fang. You should carry on with your tasks."

Aunt Fang wanted to mediate between them, but the food in the kitchen was just cooked and she couldn't step away, so she hesitated, preparing to return to the kitchen.

Lin Fei stood up and took off his jacket.

"Aunt Fang, let me help you."

Finishing his words, Lin Fei headed toward the kitchen.

Aunt Fang remembered Lin Fei could cook. It was a good opportunity to let him occupy himself in the kitchen while she tried to persuade Mu Shanshan, so as he passed, she whispered to him.

"Sir, could you please go to the kitchen and keep busy for a while? I'll try to persuade Miss."

Actually, Lin Fei just wanted a break from the argument with Mu Shanshan, hoping to quickly help Aunt Fang with the cooking so he could eat and rest. Upon hearing Aunt Fang's suggestion, he found it agreeable and nodded in approval.

Lin Fei accepted Aunt Fang's hand and went to the kitchen to cook.

Aunt Fang sat next to Mu Shanshan.

"Miss, did you have an argument with Sir?"

At the moment, Mu Shanshan was also quite downcast, yet remained stubborn, not wanting anyone to advise her on what to do.

"Aunt Fang, it's fine."

Aunt Fang sighed.

"If anyone else said that, I might believe them. But Miss, I've watched you grow up, I can see through your thoughts."

Seeing Mu Shanshan remain silent, Aunt Fang continued.

"Miss, I can see you're very regretful right now, remorseful about the argument with Sir, aren't you?"

"I..."

Mu Shanshan didn't know how to respond.

"Besides, Miss wants to admit wrong to Sir but can't bring herself to say it."

Since Mu Shanshan was young, Aunt Fang had taken care of her, so she could easily see through Mu Shanshan's thoughts.

"I... I know I'm wrong, but..."

Mu Shanshan bit her lips gently. She knew Aunt Fang was right; she truly wanted to admit her mistake to Lin Fei, but her inherent pride kept her silent.

All these years, Mu Shanshan had been known for her image as an ice-cold beauty, and even she had gradually felt that this image was her true self.

So, despite her growing closeness to Lin Fei recently, Mu Shanshan's inherent pride and aloofness couldn't be dispelled, always instinctively wanting Lin Fei to recognize everything she did, refusing to accept her own faults.

Her innate pride and aloofness made Mu Shanshan unwilling to bow to anyone, even to Lin Fei whom she had already fallen for.

But today, Mu Shanshan felt the impact of this pride and aloofness.

"Miss, Aunt Fang has been with you for over ten years now. I know you're a proud person, with few friends since childhood, finding it difficult to open your heart to others."

Aunt Fang held Mu Shanshan's hand like a kind mother.
