After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

Jinghai, Cheng Mansion.

Breakfast was ready in the restaurant. Han Yun entered the restaurant, looked around, and asked, "Has Wanwan not come down yet?"

Cao Han prepared the bowls and chopsticks, her face full of worry. "Miss hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, and she's lost a lot of weight. I just went to call her for breakfast, but she said she had no appetite."

Cao Han placed the prepared bird's nest on a tray, preparing to pick it up. "Madam, shall I take this upstairs to Miss?"

Han Yun sat down and waved her hand, "Let her come down to eat. It's not good for her to never come downstairs every day."

"But Miss said she won't come down until Young Master Xiyan returns," Cao Han said worriedly. "If this continues, Miss's health will collapse again."

Mentioning this, Han Yun was actually a little angry. She was angry that Lu Xiyan didn't take her daughter seriously and dared to leave on the eve of the engagement, disregarding the objections of both families!

But what angered her even more was that her daughter had refused to eat or drink for an entire day because of this, eventually collapsing from exhaustion and ending up in the hospital. She had just been discharged from the hospital two days ago, and she was still being disobedient, showing no regard for her health whatsoever for Lu Xiyan!

These past few days, no matter how much she pleaded or begged, Wanwan wouldn't listen to a word. Cheng Shao tried everything to coax her, promising to buy her limited-edition jewelry and take her on vacation to Europe, but Cheng Wanwan only asked one question: "When is Xiyan coming back?"

Han Yun was at her wit's end and was so angry that she even got a migraine.

"Our prestigious Cheng family, looking across the entire capital and the whole country, whose high-ranking official's son isn't good enough for her? Why is she so stubborn, insisting on throwing herself at that Lu Xiyan!"

Han Yun rubbed her aching head as she spoke, "That Lu Xiyan is really infuriating! I think this engagement is a no-brainer. I'll talk to Old Cheng another day and tell him that our Cheng family doesn't want this lousy marriage anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Han hurriedly said, "Madam, you can't do that. Young Master Xiyan has indeed gone too far, but he will come back sooner or later. Once he returns, the engagement must be held. Our young lady truly loves him, and only by marrying Young Master Xiyan will she be happy for the rest of her life."

After saying that, she glanced at Han Yun, who was so angry that she had closed her eyes, and said, "Doesn't Madam want Miss to live a happy life?"

"How could I not want to?" Han Yun said. "She's my own daughter, and I want her to live a good life more than anyone else."

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps came from the stairs.

"Mom! Aunt Cao!"

Cheng Wanwan rushed downstairs, her face pale, and asked, "I just heard you say Xi Yan is back. Is that him? Where is he now?"

"Wanwan?"

When Han Yun saw her come down, she quickly stood up and waved, "You're finally willing to come down. Come and have dinner with Mom."

Before Han Yun could reach out, Cao Han quickly stepped forward and helped Cheng Wanwan sit down, her face beaming with joy. "Miss, you've finally come out of your room! Look, today Cao Ma instructed the kitchen to make all your favorite dishes. Have some!"

"Aunt Cao, has west Yan returned?" Cheng Wanwan asked again.

"Young Master Xiyan hasn't returned yet, but he'll definitely be back." Cao Han placed the bird's nest soup in her hands, smiling and coaxing her, "Old Master Lu can't really prevent him from entering the Lu family. I estimate he should be back in the next few days. You should eat well and take good care of yourself so you'll have the strength to see him."

Cheng Wanwan wasn't wearing makeup, making her face appear even paler. She suddenly slammed her hand on the table, her eyes filled with resentment. "This isn't Xi Yan's fault. I could tell he was planning to get engaged to me. It's An Ning's fault! She deliberately sabotaged things on the eve of my engagement. She made a phone call to Xi Yan, and he left. It must be her! How could she be so despicable!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she bit her lip tightly.

Han Yun suddenly frowned. "Wanwan, who taught you to swear like that? A proper young lady shouldn't say such nasty things, no matter how angry she is."

"Mom!" Cheng Wanwan bit her lip and looked at her, "You're still criticizing me at a time like this!"

Han Yun was about to speak when Cao Han interrupted her again.

"Madam is right. Our young lady is a lady from a respectable family and does not swear."

She bent down to look at Cheng Wanwan, tenderly wiping away her tears. "Aunt Cao is a rough woman, but Aunt Cao will scold her for you. An Ning is no good; that kind of woman is unfit for respectability. She can forget about marrying into the Lu family!"

"Who does she think she is, daring to seduce our young lady's fiancé? Next time I see her, I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!"

"Don't worry, Miss. You're the only one worthy of Young Master Xiyan. No matter what schemes Anning has up her sleeve, she'll never amount to anything. It's definitely our Miss who will become the young mistress of the Lu family!"

Hearing Cao Han defend her so much, Cheng Wanwan managed a weak smile, "Cao Han still loves me the most."

Seeing her smile, Han Yun assumed Cao Han was just trying to make her happy, and sighed helplessly, "Sister Cao, you spoil her too much."

Cheng Wanwan felt a little better and drank a few mouthfuls of the bird's nest that Cao fed her.

Cao Han's movements were meticulous and gentle, and his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Cheng Wanwan.

Normally, it would be reassuring to have a nanny who dotes on one's own daughter, especially since this nanny has been with the Cheng family for decades and has treated Cheng Wanwan like her own daughter since she was a child. However, Han Yun felt a little uneasy at this moment.

Although she spoiled her daughter, she wouldn't allow her to do anything outrageous. The Cheng family's daughter represented the Cheng family's reputation. She wouldn't allow her daughter to say anything vulgar or offensive in public. Even if she disliked Anning, she had to have at least some sense of propriety in her speech.

But clearly, Cao Han's vulgar curses made Cheng Wanwan happier. At this moment, they seemed like a mother and daughter, while she felt like a stern outsider.

Han Yun stirred the spoon in her bowl and casually asked, "Sister Cao, you haven't been back to your hometown for many years, have you?"

"Yes, it's been many years since I've been back. My husband died young, and I don't have any relatives left in my hometown," Cao Han said with a smile. "Now, my wife, husband, and daughter are more like my family."

Han Yun looked at her, "Don't you have a daughter back in your hometown? She's about the same age as Wanwan, but she's not living there anymore?"
