She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

"If the old man is in the mood, it's not impossible, but he's getting old, so he needs to think about it carefully," Ye Mengwan said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Si Yang glanced helplessly at Ye Mengwan, "Save your breath!"

"The old man will never leave that little courtyard in his entire life."

"People! If they don't move when they're young, they'll be even less inclined to move when they get old," Si Yang said with a smile.

"Besides, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to have someone to back you up when the old man comes, right?" Si Yang rolled his eyes at Ye Mengwan.

This woman is always quick to make a big deal out of nothing.

Is it just that she gets in the way in the kitchen? She'll go complain to the old man later.

"No, I just feel sorry for Grandpa, all alone." Ye Mengwan shook her head and said.

As for support, that's for takeout, not for delivery.

Si Yang smiled and then gently shook his head. How could an old man who never bowed his head and never wanted to cause trouble for others come out and cause trouble for him in his old age?

Even if Si Yang didn't find it troublesome, it didn't stop the old man from thinking that way.

Looking at Ye Mengwan's beautiful face, Si Yang smiled wistfully.

People always meet the right person at the wrong time. If Ye Mengwan had been the first person they met, things might not be like this today.

This woman is gentle and kind. Although she has a bit of a temper, it's nothing serious.

Unfortunately, Si Yang no longer has the courage to start a new relationship.

Liu Mingyi may not know that he was Si Yang's last gamble, but unfortunately, Si Yang, who bet all his chips, lost everything.

Throughout his life, he never felt that anything was difficult, nor did he ever fear anything, even matters of life and death, which he took very lightly.

But the word "emotion" alone made him feel uneasy.

"You've had a long and bumpy day, go to sleep!" Si Yang said irritably, looking at Ye Mengwan's alluring eyes.

Ye Mengwan glared at Si Yang, pouted, picked up her bag, and stormed upstairs.

This guy always likes to say things that spoil the mood.

Si Yang looked out the window, sighed, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

If he could, he wouldn't want to come back; he wanted to accompany the old man on his final journey.

He quietly left the money without asking, and like an old man, he hid the medicine, not wanting him to worry.

In this world, there are always people who like to make silent sacrifices behind the scenes, making it impossible for others to refuse and passively accept their help.

Ye Mengwan, of course, was unaware of all this. Sitting in her room, she carefully took out a bankbook from her bag and gently smoothed out the creases on it.

"This must be the betrothal gift!"

"It should be," Ye Mengwan murmured, a hint of happiness in her eyes. She carefully placed the bankbook on the bedside table and then locked it.

If that guy ever dares to leave her, she'll show him her bankbook.

It was an arranged marriage, decided by the parents and the matchmaker, and the old man approved of it.

"Hmph, let's see how you escape." Ye Mengwan snorted.

The night was as cold and still as water.

In the small courtyard in Suzhou, Ye Qingyan looked at the old man with a smile in her eyes.

The old man looked at Ye Qingyan with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"I know he came; he wouldn't forget your birthday."

"Back then! When he couldn't come back, if it happened to be your birthday, he would most likely want to have a nice meal," Ye Qingyan said softly.

"And he brought a girl with him, right?" Ye Qingyan said with a smile!

The old man looked at Ye Qingyan and nodded with some guilt.

"Alas!" the old man sighed.

He thought highly of Ye Qingyan, but unfortunately, his own wife wouldn't accept it! The old man smiled wistfully.

"Actually, as long as he's happy!" Ye Qingyan said softly.

"Me? I deserve it! In this life, if you're just one step away, you'll always be one step away."

"If I had taken the initiative back then, without worrying about this or that, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up like this today, even though we both fell in love at the same time."

"She was just bolder and more passionate than me, while he was so inexperienced back then." Ye Qingyan seemed to be reminiscing about the past, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with tears.

It seemed that only in front of this old man could she open her heart without any reservations.

"It's all fate!" the old man sighed softly, his face full of regret.

"Never mind him. Just live your own life from now on. You're still young. And don't come to see me again." The old man got up shakily, his body hunched over, and walked into the low little house.

He took the medicine out of the cabinet and swallowed it with trembling hands.

After swallowing it, the old man finally let out a long breath.

He turned around and saw Ye Qingyan leaning against the door, looking at him.

"I'm getting old, and I rely on medication all the time. My health isn't what it used to be," the old man said with some emotion.

Ye Qingyan stared intently at the medicine the old man was trying to hide in his hand, and suddenly her eyes reddened.

Her voice choked with emotion, "Does he know?" Ye Qingyan asked, her voice trembling.

The old man gently shook his head.

"You know his temperament. If you really found out, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause?" the old man said in a low voice.

Ye Qingyan nodded gently, her eyes red. If Si Yang was the sharpest weapon in the world, then the old man was the only sheath in the world.

"Go! Go back! At my age, there's still nothing I can't see through."

"When that day comes, my children and grandchildren will have their own lives to live, and I won't be able to control them anymore."

"I just hope that he and that girl get along well, to the point that they can't bear to part with each other."

"I'll try to hold on for as long as possible. It would be even better if that girl had a child."

"What a pity! The Liu family's girl is so disappointing! How did she end up like this?"

"It's my fault too. If only I hadn't brought it up back then." The old man sighed softly, a deep regret in his cloudy eyes.

Ye Qingyan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Liu Mingyi! Do you know how much sin you have committed?"

Watching the old man's back turn, Ye Qingyan sighed softly, gently closed the door for him, and turned to leave.

In the villa district of Zhonghai, a middle-aged man with graying temples stood upright, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. Although he was dressed in ordinary home clothes, he exuded an aura of authority without being angry.

"Dad, Xiaobao is asleep," Li Chuning asked softly.

The middle-aged man nodded. "Little thing, you're so naughty." He said that, but the doting look in his eyes was unmistakable.

As a high-ranking official in charge of a region, he was extremely busy with many affairs of state.

Having managed to steal a half-day of leisure, I naturally wanted to enjoy some time with my family.

My little grandson is a real handful; he's certainly noisy, but he's also genuinely adorable.

Looking at my beloved daughter whom I've doted on since she was little, I suddenly felt much more relaxed.

A harmonious family often allows one to let go of the fatigue from the outside world.
