She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

"She's willing, so who can blame her? Besides, she's just being stubborn with you!"

"Born handsome, he was proud from a young age."

"The Hua family wouldn't let her marry an ordinary person."

"Women from prominent families are often used as bargaining chips. The family provides you with a comfortable life, but you must also pay the price."

"It's good to meet someone you like, but if you don't, you still have to live with them for a lifetime."

"In this vast Great Xia, after all the calculations, there's only you."

"I did have my eye on that guy from the Huangfu family once, but didn't you kill him off?" Hua Yunyan laughed at Theo.

Si Yang was immediately at a loss for words, "That savage from the Huangfu family? Could she be harboring thoughts of revenge for her old flame?"

"Go away, don't talk nonsense. It's the family, not her," Hua Yunyan said irritably.

"I see!" Si Yang smiled, though he seemed slightly disappointed.

Ye Qingyan chuckled as she watched this scene. "Him? You don't understand."

"If he really takes a fancy to that savage from the Huangfu family, he might actually be interested."

"What's that saying again? I'll take care of your wife and children," Ye Qingyan said with a light laugh.

"Get lost, stop ruining my reputation." Si Yang glared at Ye Qingyan and said irritably!

Several women burst out laughing.

"Forget it, whatever, do whatever you want!" Si Yang shook his head.

He wasn't interested in paying attention to it.

Hua Meiniang was indeed beautiful, but in Si Yang's eyes, she was just pretty.

Which woman in the family isn't beautiful?

People should just worry less about things they shouldn't worry about in this life.

As for their son, that's their business.

Besides, who knows how many years from now!

In fact, Si Yang doesn't have much of a family concept at heart. Even with his own children, he only has one thought: let them grow up naturally.

As long as I don't go down the wrong path or harm anyone, it's acceptable.

If they really go astray, that's when they're experiencing their father's love.

Upon entering the courtyard, Si Yang lit a cigarette. A figure appeared, and Si Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at it.

"It's finally here."

The man bowed respectfully to Si Yang and said, "This was sent to you by my master."

"Not bad!" Si Yang grinned. Mu Nancen was reliable.

"Alright, the delivery's done. Go do whatever you need to do!" Si Yang waved his hand.

The man turned and left.

The phone rang at that moment, and Si Yang answered the video call, revealing Mu Nancen's handsome face.

"Has the package been delivered?" Mu Nancen asked with a smile!

"Yes!" Si Yang nodded.

Mu Nancen looked at Si Yang with a somewhat complicated expression. "This has some side effects."

"What side effects?" Si Yang asked!

"It just means the chances of getting pregnant will be lower, but it'll be fine once you stop taking the medication," Mu Nancen said softly.

"This?" Si Yang scratched his head, it wasn't unacceptable.

"Mu Nancen, did you plan this all along, deceiving me step by step?" Si Yang looked at Mu Nancen and gritted his teeth.

This thing is absolutely awful.

"So, are you going to eat it or not?" Mu Nancen asked with a smile!

Si Yang lowered his head and remained silent.

"Five years! Only after at least five years can we guarantee we'll be worry-free," Mu Nancen said in a low voice.

Let's not talk about Li Jianian, but Li Jianian doesn't have any ambition and isn't that kind of person.

Therefore, Mu Nancen was relatively relieved.

But what about others?

It doesn't matter to the people around Si Yang if they don't have children, but it's a different story once they have children.

Despite their close sisterly bond, Mu Nancen is utterly unreasonable when it comes to children.

"Your body suffered from too much damage in your early years, ten or fifteen years ago?"

"Once you get older and your energy and blood decline, that's when it will come to you. In this respect, you are not as good as Rongxiu Dao. Of course, you two are not on the same path."

"No one dares to mess with you now, but what about back then?"

"These powerful forces have no shortage of patience," Mu Nancen said softly.

Si Yang relied on his personal bravery.

Of course, the effect is also the most direct and objective.

The last ambush made many forces realize that they should not take Si Yang seriously in terms of force, as the consequences are often dire.

"Ten years, fifteen years, isn't that enough for you to complete your plan?" Si Yang said, frowning.

"sure."

"But what about you? Are you the kind of person who would hide behind me and enjoy my protection?"

"Besides, what if my attitude changes at that time?" Mu Nancen said with a smile!

Si Yang took a deep breath. "That makes sense."

If you've never relied on anyone your whole life, you'll probably find it hard to adjust if you ever have to rely on someone else.

"Actually, I could have kept quiet, but I'll leave the decision to you."

"You can decide for yourself," Mu Nancen said with a smile.

"You might as well not have said anything!" Si Yang said irritably!

"Hmph, I do all the heartless things, and you feel perfectly at ease. If you get caught, you can blame me later. Dream on." Mu Nancen chuckled.

"Mu Nancen, when did you become so bad?" Si Yang said helplessly!

"Anyway, the choice is yours; you decide."

"Besides, I'm inherently bad. In this world, I can be bad to anyone except you and our son." Mu Nancen looked at Si Yang and smiled.

"Alright, I have other things to do."

Mu Nancen cut off the video immediately.

Si Yang held the prescription in his hand, staring blankly at the sky, lost in thought.

He understood Mu Nancen's intention: five years. After five years, no one would pose any threat. Five years would be enough time for her to take control of the situation.

Moreover, a five-year age gap is irreparable.

Although they are as close as sisters, I still keep my distance from them.

Perhaps, as she said, a woman's mind changes once she has a child.

Ye Mengwan is an exception. Just because Mu Nancen can tolerate Ye Mengwan doesn't mean she can tolerate others.

After all, she knew that Ye Mengwan held a special place in Si Yang's eyes.

In fact, everyone knows that.

After divorcing Liu Mingyi and then the old man passing away, Si Yang went to Beijing, taking Ye Mengwan with him the only person he took with him.

He still had a kind heart at that moment, and Ye Mengwan deserves much credit for that.

Bringing Ye Mengwan along is a way of telling everyone that she is my last concern, and the reason I'm still keeping a thread of hope is because of her existence.

At that moment, everyone who understood knew what Ye Mengwan meant.

Si Yang glanced at the prescription in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and then threw it into the trash can.

Let's pretend it never happened.

A day slipped away unnoticed.

The next day, several women sat together, whispering among themselves.

"What are you saying?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

"See, I told you he wouldn't mind, didn't I?" Ye Qingyan smiled.

"I doubt she even has that on her mind," Ye Mengwan said with a smile.

"We're discussing finding a fortune teller to pick an auspicious date for our move!" Ye Mengwan said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so!"

"We can move whenever we want, why do we need to pick a day?" Si Yang said with an absurd expression.

"Hmph, you don't understand. When moving into a new house, you naturally have to choose an auspicious day."

"Hey, don't worry about it. Since you're in charge, you can do whatever you want without any restrictions," Ye Mengwan said with a smile!

"However, space has been reserved there. In the future, whoever wants to go there can just redecorate it to their liking."

"So, why don't you tell me how many are still outside?" Ye Mengwan asked with a smile!

"We'll talk about it later." Si Yang rolled his eyes.

Ye Mengwan smiled and said, "Alright, fine, don't tell me then."

"You shouldn't get involved in this," Ye Mengwan said with a smile.

Si Yang nodded. He hadn't really gotten involved anyway, so he just let the women do what they wanted. What difference did it make where they lived?

Looking out the window at the sky, Si Yang said casually, "It's almost December, and the New Year is just around the corner. I'm planning to go to Suzhou."

Suddenly, I felt homesick.

"Okay, just let me know when you're going."

"You! You only go when you remember, but you forget about important holidays and birthdays just as easily," Ye Mengwan said with a light laugh.

Si Yang smiled. He didn't believe in ghosts or gods, nor in reincarnation.

But that place was just a place he longed for all his life.

He knew that he had never neglected any of the women; sometimes they would leave without telling him.

"Are you moving? Let me know." Si Yang smiled.

He dreamed of Siyue again last night.

On a freezing cold day, wearing a worn-out cotton-padded coat, I stood outside a mutton restaurant, looking through the glass at the steaming mutton soup, and even the white steam smelled delicious.

"You shouldn't go, you're pregnant!" Ye Qingyan said softly to Ye Mengwan.

"How about today?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

"Alright! Whatever our man says goes."

"Sister Yan has to go. She must go and see this newlywed bride," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

Hua Yunyan rolled her eyes at Ye Qingyan, and blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her.

A group of several people set off on a whim.

We arrived in Suzhou at just ten o'clock.

Si Yang led several women up the mountain.

The tombstone is somewhat weathered, and the photos have faded.

Even with maintenance, it cannot withstand rain and wind.

Several women laid out the offerings.

Si Yang gently stroked the tombstone, lit a cigarette, and smiled.

He didn't say anything.

The women all understood that even if the man had a thousand words to say, he would probably only keep them to himself and would never say them aloud.

"Go home!" Si Yang said softly after the memorial service.

That mottled alley, those low, small houses.

"Are you Si Yang?" An elderly woman with a full head of white hair asked, her eyes lighting up when she saw Si Yang.

"I haven't been back for many years."

Si Yang glanced at the old lady and said casually, "Weren't you taken away by your children? Why are you sent back now that you're old and useless?"

The old lady's expression changed. She glanced at Si Yang, said nothing, and hurriedly left.

The women were somewhat surprised; it was true that Si Yang was aloof.

But he rarely treats people so harshly.

Opening the door, Si Yang saw that everything was still the same as before, with Ye Mengwan having someone specially maintain it.

She said she was afraid that if they argued one day, Si Yang would have nowhere to go.

Therefore, this place is very clean, but the original layout cannot be changed.

Si Yang lay down on the chair. "Curious?" Si Yang asked, looking at the women.

"When Si Yue was little, she picked two cucumbers from her family's house, stood at the alley entrance, and cursed for a full half hour. In the end, the old man paid her money to settle the matter."

"Two cucumbers." Si Yang smiled.

"Two cucumbers that were snatched back before I could even eat them!"
