She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

In the dark living room, Si Yang lit a cigarette.

In the pitch-black environment, only a bright yellow spot flickered, obscuring Si Yang's expression.

In the fleeting moment of the flashing light, I could vaguely see that cold and stern face.

As the cigarette was about to burn out, Si Yang stubbed it out.

"Why is it so hard for me to just have a few days of peace and quiet?" Si Yang muttered in the darkness, his tone tinged with a hint of malice.

The night passed quietly, and Ye Mengwan, unusually, did not go to the company.

Instead, he stayed at home. "Is he really planning to just give up?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

Ye Mengwan pouted and rolled her eyes at Si Yang. "Qianqian told me to wait for her news. She has already persuaded her father."

"And they told me to try not to go out. The Liao family is capable of anything," Ye Mengwan said softly.

"Heh!" Si Yang couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

"Is it really that amazing?"

"I feel like those self-made men who rose to prominence by riding the wave of opportunity 20 years from now have all faded into history, haven't they?"

"Those who have made it this far must be quite intelligent, or at least have a solid foundation," Si Yang said with a smile.

He seems indifferent to everything, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.

He simply doesn't bother to understand certain people and things.

He used to have too much on his plate and didn't have the time. Now, he's just plain lazy.

"Oh!" Ye Mengwan was somewhat surprised, finding it hard to believe that these words came from Si Yang's mouth.

"After all, I'm the ex-husband of a female CEO, so it shouldn't be difficult for me to know a little about this from what I've seen and heard!" Si Yang said with a smile!

"You're not divorced yet!" Ye Mengwan said resentfully!

She was genuinely afraid of losing both her money and her partner.

Moreover, she seemed more worried about losing this guy than about the company's survival.

"It's bound to happen sooner or later," Si Yang smiled.

The weather isn't good today. It was gloomy when I woke up this morning, and now the wind is picking up, as if a storm is brewing.

However, the gloomy sky remained overcast until the afternoon, and not a single drop of rain fell.

"I'm going out for a stroll!" Si Yang got up after lunch and grabbed a towel.

"Let's get some exercise," Si Yang said with a smile!

It's good to exercise every day.

I'm living such a comfortable life, I'm starting to gain weight.

"Mm!" Ye Mengwan nodded gently, and also handed Si Yang a bottle of water.

Two hours later, Si Yang was slightly sweaty, but felt refreshed and walked home.

Wu Qian happened to arrive at that time.

She glanced at Si Yang, unusually lacking her usual toughness, and even seemed somewhat guilty.

"Miss Wu has arrived," Si Yang greeted her politely.

Wu Qian glanced at Si Yang, somewhat surprised.

But he still let out a soft hum.

Si Yang couldn't help but smile when he saw this. This woman's personality was a bit of a mess, but she was always sincere towards Ye Mengwan.

What does it matter if others say a few bad things about him?

Ultimately, he never really cared about Wu Qian.

Upon entering, seeing the two of them return together, Ye Mengwan greeted Wu Qian, then poured two glasses of water and handed them to Si Yang and Wu Qian.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you with this."

"The main problem is that the conditions proposed by the Liao family are too outrageous. They want 60% of your company's shares and for you to become Liao Mingyu's mistress." Wu Qian seemed embarrassed to speak, and her face even turned slightly red when she said this. She didn't dare to look at Ye Mengwan, let alone Si Yang.

"Then forget it. You wouldn't agree before, how could you possibly agree now?" Compared to Wu Qian's embarrassment, Ye Mengwan was quite calm, having already anticipated this outcome.

"Qianqian, it's not your fault. I know you did your best," Ye Mengwan said softly to Wu Qian.

"The business world is like a battlefield. Whether it's connections, financial resources, or even tactics, we can't compare to them. So it's not surprising that we can't win," Ye Mengwan said softly.

There was some resentment, but more than that, there was a sense of acceptance and equanimity.

At this moment, Si Yang couldn't help but look at Ye Mengwan with new respect. In terms of mentality, Ye Mengwan surpassed many people.

There was no sense of despair or self-pity, nor was there any intention to blame anyone.

Or perhaps the consequences were considered when that decision was made, and when they materialized, the consequences were accepted calmly and readily.

Ye Mengwan could accept it, but Si Yang could not.

Ignoring the two women, Si Yang stood by the window and smoked a cigarette. Only after the cigarette burned out did he turn around and look at Ye Mengwan. "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you," Si Yang said softly.

"Anything is fine, I like everything you make." Ye Mengwan smiled at Si Yang.

Si Yang smiled, turned around, and went into the kitchen.

"Wanwan, is it worth it? That's all your hard work!" Wu Qian couldn't help but ask, watching Si Yang's figure in the kitchen.

"You have to give up something to gain something!" Ye Mengwan smiled, she could see the heartache in Si Yang's eyes.

If she were still that wealthy woman, this guy probably wouldn't look at her like that!

He's a pretty bad guy. He looks cold, but he's actually incredibly soft-hearted.

Wu Qian smiled and said, "That's true. If you accept his obedience, you also have to accept his incompetence." Wu Qian shook her head and smiled.

Ye Mengwan didn't speak. Was she complying? It didn't seem so!

But is he incompetent? Not necessarily!

Wu Qian didn't stay for dinner. She chatted with Ye Mengwan for a few minutes, offered some comfort, and then left.

She said she was going to accompany her father to a small gathering that evening.

Si Yang and Ye Mengwan did not try to stop them.

After dinner, Si Yang cleaned up the kitchen and looked at Ye Mengwan's somewhat haggard face. He reached out and gently stroked Ye Mengwan's hair.

"Si Yang!" Ye Mengwan called softly, her voice carrying a vulnerable quality that evoked pity.

"Stop thinking about it. Didn't you already agree to accept any outcome from the beginning?"

"The most important thing for a person is actually their spirit. Without spirit, it's more terrifying than any disease," Si Yang said with a smile.

"If you keep giving up on yourself like this, how will you support me in the future? Don't you agree?" Si Yang said to Ye Mengwan seriously.

Ye Mengwan, who had just been somewhat moved, couldn't help but roll her eyes at this guy. "After all that talk, this is the main point, isn't it!"

"Of course," Si Yang smiled.

"I'm going out for a walk, you stay home and behave yourself," Si Yang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ye Mengwan nodded.

"Come back soon," Ye Mengwan said softly.

She was used to his presence; she could hardly sleep if he wasn't there.

"I'll try my best." Si Yang grinned.

Ye Mengwan suddenly felt a little dazed. At that moment, she seemed to see Si Yang in the bar.

That smile was somewhat dazzling, and it also had a sharp edge that was hard to hide.
