A Warmth All My Own

When Bai Yunxi was twenty-four, her family’s company was suddenly plunged into crisis and faced bankruptcy. With nowhere else to turn, the man she had called “Uncle Mu” since childhood, who had always quietly protected her, made an offer that shocked everyone: marry him, and he would take care of everything. He was Mu Siting, a business magnate of thirty-six.

“Why would you help me this much?” Bai Yunxi asked, puzzled.

Mu Siting’s gaze was deep, as though he could see through time. “Because I’ve waited twelve years for you to grow up.”

Only after they married did Bai Yunxi discover the tenderness hidden beneath this seemingly cold man’s exterior:

· He remembered all her little habits, including exactly how much sugar she liked in her coffee.

· He quietly funded the charity project her late mother had cared about most.

· Every book she casually mentioned and every place she said she wanted to see became a “surprise” he arranged for her.

· His phone wallpaper was a candid photo he had taken of her profile when she was seventeen, ten years ago.

When she happened to find the diary in his study, filled with detailed notes about her growing up and dating back to when she was fifteen, she finally understood: this love hadn’t come out of nowhere. It was the most carefully planned secret of a lifetime.
