Plum Blossom Beauty Mark

She was dressed in the clothes she used to wear at the estate, styled as a married woman. On her forehead was a plum blossom pattern—a flower ornament currently all the rage in Yan Capital—her shy smile directed at him.

Jason Zhuo thought he was dreaming and pinched his thigh hard.

"Seeing your wife, are you stunned?" Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu asked with a smile.

"Oh! Um... Olivia, why did you come back?" Jason Zhuo asked nervously.

"My mother asked me to come back," Olivia said. "She finally let go of her worries and is willing to face reality now."

"Really?" Jason Zhuo recalled Dowager Lady Blue Moon's attitude before and found it hard to believe.

"Yes." Olivia nodded.

"It's good that you're back!" Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu said. "Live well with Jason from now on."

"Yes! Thank you, Grandmother, for your generosity and for accepting me," Olivia said.

"Jason, what are you still standing there for? Take Olivia home!" Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu said. Olivia was her beloved granddaughter, so of course she cared deeply for her.

"Yes! Yes!" Jason Zhuo took Olivia Gu back with him.

When they returned to their residence, Olivia asked, "Why did you come home so late? Where were you?"

"I went... to see you. I waited for ages, but you never showed up." Jason Zhuo grinned like a fool. "I never expected you'd actually be at home!"

Unable to hold back, Olivia threw herself into his arms. "I know you often come to see me."

"How did you know?"

"You were hiding behind that tree, thinking you were so sneaky. But you didn't know your reflection was cast right onto the lake in front of the door. I could see you every time!"

Jason Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, hugging her tightly. "Olivia, you're not going to leave me again, are you?"

"Never." Olivia said. "This time, now that I'm back, I'll never leave you again!"

...

Grace had business at the Spirit Alliance that day, so she came home even later than Jason Zhuo.

When Grace heard that Olivia Gu had returned, she was naturally delighted.

She used to think Olivia and her brother could only get back together if Dowager Lady Blue Moon passed away!

But still, something felt off.

Why would Dowager Lady Blue Moon suddenly let Olivia come back?

It just wasn't her style.

Could it be she's sent Olivia back to take revenge again?

But Olivia knows what Dowager Lady Blue Moon and Colin Gu have done. With her personality, she shouldn't help them do anything evil...

Early the next morning, Grace went to see her at the Bamboo Garden Suite.

Olivia was up early, her face beaming with happiness and satisfaction. She was all dressed up and ready to greet Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu.

Seeing Grace arrive, Olivia happily took her hand and chatted away.

Grace observed that Olivia had basically returned to her old self—dignified and calm.

And the joy radiating from her at being reunited with her husband was genuine, straight from the heart.

Then Grace noticed a five-petaled little flower between Olivia's brows—the plum blossom makeup that's all the rage in Yan Capital right now.

"Wow?" Grace asked, "That flower on your forehead is so pretty. Did you paint it yourself?"

"My mother did it for me," Olivia replied, touching her brow. "I don't even know what kind of pigment she used—no matter how much I wash, it won't come off!"

Before she came back yesterday, Dowager Lady Blue Moon had dressed her up nicely.

It was her mother who carefully painted the plum blossom makeup for her.

Grace paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "If it won't come off, just leave it! It looks great on you."

Thinking of how Jason Zhuo kissed her plum blossom makeup last night, Olivia blushed and nodded shyly.
