She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

"Now you know how powerful I am, right?" Ye Qingyan said smugly!

"Hmm, to be honest, I'm actually afraid of that." Si Yang smiled.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Si Yang sat lazily on the sofa. After a night of trying, he had finally managed to appease everyone.

Or rather, there was no need to coax them at all.

It was breakfast time in the early morning. Mu Nancen sat down and said, "You've made a mess of things since you came back."

Mu Nancen glared at Si Yang. "See? This man is just so heartless."

The women all burst out laughing.

"Chu Ning, I was a bit impulsive yesterday, please don't take it to heart," Mu Nancen said softly.

She was indeed a bit impulsive, but she was overcome by her emotions at the time.

But ultimately, if things really get out of hand, it's the man in her own home who suffers.

"It's all over now." Li Chuning shook her head.

After dinner, Si Yang sat on the sofa, and Ye Qingyan brought him a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Drink your medicine," Ye Qingyan said.

Si Yang frowned, took a sip, and said, "It's fucking bitter."

"Can I not drink it?" Si Yang said, looking aggrieved.

"no."

"Drink it, you have to drink it!" the women said in unison.

"Damn it, why does this remind me of Da Lang?" Si Yang slapped his forehead and said with a melancholy look on his face!

Several women burst out laughing. "Not yet. If you don't drink it, you can wait ten or eight years, and it will probably be ready then." Ye Qingyan smiled.

Si Yang smiled helplessly, glancing at the women's gazes, "How about we drink after the New Year tomorrow?"

"Drinking bitter things during the New Year will bring bad luck next year," Si Yang said seriously.

Several women were tempted by this suggestion.

"Listen to him. He always says the first day of the Lunar New Year is unlucky. As for the second day, it's uncertain whether you'll even see anyone," Ye Mengwan said with a smile.

"Fine, I'll drink it, okay?" Si Yang sighed helplessly.

"Once you start taking this medicine, you can't stop; you have to take it once a day," Mu Nancen said softly.

"So, we need to tell Li Jianian, and also those women outside. We can't ignore anything else, but we can't let this matter slip by," Mu Nancen said.

"Ouch!" Si Yang said with a pained expression.

"Here, have a piece of candy." Liu Mingyi smiled and peeled a piece of candy for Si Yang.

"A grown woman like you shouldn't be frowning over taking medicine," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

"Stop talking. I hate taking medicine. When I was a kid, my grandpa would wrap the medicine in a bun and trick me into taking it." Si Yang pouted.

Several women laughed; most of them seemed to have had similar experiences.

Inside the manor, lanterns and decorations were everywhere. Last year, Si Yang didn't spend the New Year with them, so this year should be their first New Year together.

The decorations were very festive, and several women did all the work themselves.

The matter from before is now in the past. Mu Nancen threw a tantrum, and Si Yang said some nice things.

It's good that no feelings were hurt.

Taking the medication was a unanimous decision made by the women, whether they were willing or not, there was no other way.

Hua Yunyan now avoids people, and as the New Year approaches, she has given each of the women a lot of jewelry and gifts.

Unfortunately, she was the only beneficiary in this whole affair.

The family is becoming increasingly complicated.

People say that building an empire and establishing hegemony requires the most careful consideration.

Little did they know that family matters are the most unsettling for people.

Especially for someone like Si Yang, if he can have the imperial ambitions, he will; if not, he won't fight for them.

But family matters are always on his mind.

This year's Spring Festival was very lively, and the girl was brought over.

The other two are in the Rong family and Yancheng, respectively, and Si Yang can't possibly take them all in.

Who can trust Si Yang to take him away?

It wouldn't be surprising if this thing got lost.

So, the little girl is growing more and more beautiful, with big, bright eyes that look just like Bai Jing.

"That's good, thank goodness you didn't take after your dad," Si Yang said with a strange sense of relief.

The girl is very attached to Si Yang; she follows him wherever he goes.

They said they wanted to see fireworks, so they brought two cartloads and took the girl with them to set them off themselves.

"That bastard, he's never been this good to his own son," Mu Nancen scoffed, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Ye Mengwan chuckled, "He just doesn't know how to coax people. Our man is just not good at it. Look at this girl, she puts her arms around his neck, gives him a sweet smile, and calls him 'Uncle,' and he's completely smitten." Ye Mengwan laughed!

Mu Nancen thought about it and realized that it really was true.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

The dark sky was lit up by fireworks.

Si Yang held the girl in his arms, gazing up at the fireworks in the sky, "May next year, may every year be like this," Si Yang murmured to himself.

He never made a wish.

This time, it's unprecedented.

I have nothing to be dissatisfied with in my current life.

The women started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and wouldn't let Si Yang get involved. Si Yang was very doubtful whether he would be able to eat dinner tonight.

Holding the baby girl, Liu Mingyi sat on the sofa and leaned closer.

"Aren't you going to help?" Si Yang asked in a low voice.

"They look down on me," Liu Mingyi said, lowering her head in grievance.

Si Yang burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? Missing your dad?" Si Yang asked softly.

"No, I don't miss him at all." Liu Mingyi shook her head.

The women all called home, but Liu Mingyi alone was heartbroken.

He remained silent throughout.

Si Yang thought Liu Mingyi missed her father.

"Ye Qingyan told me everything," Liu Mingyi said softly, looking at Si Yang.

"This woman, she's got a sharp tongue, who came up with that name again?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

"Me!" Liu Mingyi said in a low voice, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're lenient with me because you think you've been involved in changing my life, right?" Liu Mingyi said softly.

"I didn't know at first, but I did after spending some time with you." Si Yang smiled calmly.

"The old man is so poor, where would he find such a wealthy comrade-in-arms?" Si Yang smiled.

"Besides, your grandfather is gone, who will recognize him?" Si Yang smiled bitterly.

"But I don't regret it, and I don't blame you. I only hate myself back then," Liu Mingyi said softly, her eyes slightly red.

"Alright, it's all in the past. Many things are already in the past for me." Si Yang smiled.

"Yes!" Liu Mingyi nodded.

"Ye Qingyan said that your favorite person is Ye Mengwan, the one you can't let go of is Liao Rushuang, the most tolerant person is me, and the most demanding person is Mu Nancen. Is that true?" Liu Mingyi said softly.

"Don't listen to her rambling on all day."

"Is it possible that you're my favorite person?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

"You're lying to me, but I like hearing that." Liu Mingyi smiled.

"Really." Si Yang blinked.

"Why?" Liu Mingyi was still a little curious.

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Si Yang's face. He patted the girl and said, "Go and get your uncle a can of beer."

The little girl nodded obediently, kissed Si Yang on the cheek, then took out the remote control, paused the cartoon, and ran barefoot to the refrigerator.

Si Yang glanced at Liu Mingyi, "The main thing is that when we were together, I was still a virgin."

Liu Mingyi's eyes widened, then she chuckled.

"You and Liao Rushuang?" Liu Mingyi blinked.

At that time, she really didn't think that much about it.

"Hey." Si Yang sighed, there was no time.

They said they'd wait until their wedding day, but then that thing happened.

"Is this why you've been so lenient with me?" Liu Mingyi said quietly.

"I suppose so!" Si Yang chuckled.

Things that I've always been unwilling to say or admit, now seem to be nothing at all.

The girl brought the beer back, Si Yang opened it, took a sip, and then the girl continued to snuggle in Si Yang's arms and watch TV.

The little girl was very lovable; even Mu Nancen, a cold and aloof person, took off his necklace and gave it to the girl.

Si Yang was raised like a daughter, and so were they.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, it's quite boring." Si Yang smiled.

"I'm afraid you'll have to go through some hardship after the New Year."

"If possible, please bring them back! It's not easy for them to leave their hometown."

"Just keep him as a freeloader."

"It won't cause any trouble." Si Yang laughed!

"Never mind, it's too annoying." Liu Mingyi frowned and shook her head.

"But in this way, you don't even have an elder or a close relative by your side," Si Yang said with a smile.

"I still have you! It's enough for me to stay by your side for the rest of my life."

"I guess it's because of what I did back then! I'm getting my comeuppance now!" Liu Mingyi sighed softly.

Just then, Mu Nancen walked over and pinched the girl's cheek. "Smooth and slippery," Mu Nancen smiled.

The girl rolled her eyes at Mu Nancen and shrank into Si Yang's arms.

Mu Nancen pointed at the girl, "When you gave me the gift, you called me 'Auntie' so affectionately, but now you're turning your back on me?"

"What do you think of Chao Shang?" Mu Nancen asked Si Yang softly.

"I don't know." Si Yang shook his head.

Mu Nancen grabbed Si Yang's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Tell me about it!" This made Si Yang shiver.

Liu Mingyi simply couldn't bear to watch; she never knew how to act so coquettishly.

She usually uses direct seduction.

He got up and left; Mu Nancen must be discussing something important with Si Yang.

"I really don't know," Si Yang said, shaking his head.

"You." Mu Nancen gritted her teeth, her voice weak, her eyes filled with tears.
