Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Fu Sichen really felt ashamed to face Nan Ge again. What had she done?

Su Wan looked at Fu Sichen, who was rolling around on the bed, throwing a tantrum and yelling, and stomped on her foot without any politeness. "What's wrong with you? You got better from a cold and now you've developed hysteria?"

"You're the one with hysteria!"

Fu Sichen's face was buried in the blankets, and his voice was muffled.

Su Wan scoffed, "What happened? What's bothering Miss Fu so much?"

"Han Yi is probably serious about that Ruan Weiyue."

Su Wan said "Oh," and then added, "Regretful? You've had this young and talented man as your free husband for three years, and now you suddenly feel reluctant to give him up?"

"Han Yi and I are not a good match, no matter how long it takes, we will never be able to get together." Fu Sichen lowered his eyes and laughed. "Wanwan, Han Yi said that he will come out to his family about the fake marriage."

"He suggested it?"

"Hmm." Fu Sichen lay down on the bed and sprawled out. "I need to think about how to tell my family."

"I've been thinking about this for more than a day or two, and I've practically memorized all the reasons by now." Su Wan wasn't surprised. She and Si Chen had spent some time abroad, and Han Yi's situation with her didn't seem like that of a couple at all.

Su Wan is a very smart person; as time went on, some things were exposed.

"I still feel uneasy when it comes to this point." Fu Sichen sighed. Although he had a headache, he was finally going to expose the lie and was looking forward to the relaxation that would come in the future, when he would no longer have to deceive his loved ones with lies.

However, she needs to find an ally first to avoid the shock and backlash that would result from suddenly popping the balloon.

"So, you're not troubled by this?" Su Wan looked at her. "What is it?"

Fu Sichen suddenly sat up in bed, answering a completely different question, "Wanwan, has any man seen you naked and didn't do anything?"

Su Wan was picking up her cup to drink water when she choked so hard that water almost came out of her nostrils.

Su Wan pounded her chest and looked at Fu Sichen, "Who did you seduce?"

"I was just asking out of curiosity."

Su Wancai didn't believe it. "Either that person is no good, or they really have no feelings for you. But if it's the latter, how strong would their willpower be? I still lean towards the former."

Fu Sichen's expression instantly turned sour.

I feel nothing.

……

The table turnover rate at Silver Bay Hotel has recently skyrocketed.

One of the reasons is that Chef Yu has increased the number of tables that can be reserved.

He spent almost the entire day holed up in the hotel kitchen.

The roar of the range hood drowned out my heartbeat, and the flames from the gas stove scorched and dried my skin. It seemed that only this relentless busyness could bring me a moment of peace.

Cui Wenxuan's reports were all conducted in this environment.

The news of Li Shang and Lin Yuanqing had already spread, giving Wei Jingwu no time to react. The Yu family went straight for the ownership of Han Tang Tian Yuan, catching Wei Jingwu off guard.

Currently, control of Han Tang Tian Yuan has fallen into the hands of Yu Shinan, and things are progressing unexpectedly smoothly.

Yu Shinan ladled the last dish onto a plate, turned off the range hood, and went to wash his hands.

"Tomorrow, things will return to normal."

He said as he walked out of the kitchen.

Choi Moon-seon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he was referring to the fact that he had personally cooked the meal.

His tense expression showed no joy. The return of Han Tang Tianyuan to the Yu family, even if not 100%, was still up to him. Such a big event couldn't excite him in the slightest.

The two entered the office area. Yu Shinan lit a cigarette, turned around to look at Cui Wenxuan who was following him, and knew that he had other things to say. "Go ahead."

"Wei Jingwu suffered a great loss this time and will not let it go easily. Be careful in the near future."

"Wei Jingwu is too close to the Qin family. Does he think he can escape if the fire starts?" The man sneered, flicking his cigarette ash into the ashtray. "Wei Jingwu shouldn't have touched Song Chang. Song Xingzhi won't confront him head-on like I do."

Cui Wenxuan smiled. Whether it's a positive or a negative attack, a single side is fine, but what he fears most is a silent, two-pronged attack happening simultaneously.

Yu Shinan only gave him instructions, without saying a word more. Cui Wenxuan only realized later, when he found it so easy, that there was another hand pushing behind him.

"Brother Xuan, the way the Yu family used to operate can't continue like this. I'll find someone to manage the hotel, and you'll be in charge of Han Tang Tian Yuan from now on. I'll support whatever you want to do, but I only have one condition: keep things clean and don't get your hands dirty." Yu Shinan's voice wasn't loud at all, but Cui Wenxuan was still stunned and didn't react for a moment.

He thought that Yu Shinan taking back Han Tang Tian Yuan was something he himself wanted to do...

"Too many people in Han Tang have followed the Yu family for two generations. Wei Jingwu led them too deep. Some of them can't turn back, but some can. Han Tang Tianyuan is not as meaningful to me as you think. Anyway, the old man and father are gone. Just help those people out, pull them out if you can."

Cui Wenxuan was momentarily stunned. His gaze fell on this usually calm and unmoving man, and for the first time, he wanted to examine him from a different perspective.

Cui Wenxuan, who is close to Yu Shinan, has met all of them. They have different personalities and family backgrounds, but they all have very distinct personal characteristics. Compared with them, Yu Shinan is probably the least outstanding one.

Like in a color group photo, he is probably standing at the very edge in black and white.

The light will never shine upon him.

But when he stands among them, you don't notice him and don't feel strange.

He was silent, indifferent, and even seemed somewhat clumsy.

But it seems that no one has ever really thought that he was personally trained by Old Master Yu, and that he took over more than half of the Yu family's business before he was even twenty years old.

The Yu family's control over their subordinates stemmed more from personal relationships than from interests. Empathy was more effective in uniting people than self-interest. Cui Wenxuan suddenly understood why he had brought up the private relationship between Lin Yuanqing and Li Shang.

The life-or-death struggle with Wei Jingwu was unimportant to Yu Shinan.

He just needed a reason, a legitimate reason for those brothers to leave Wei Jingwu and come to him.

It's like he threw away the rope, and the rest are left to those who are willing to take the bait.

He wanted to give these people a clear path, so they could walk openly in the sunlight.

What truly convinces people is not how eloquent you are, but how many people you can hold in your heart.

Cui Wenxuan was brought in by Yu Shinan's father. After the father left, he stayed by Yu Shinan's side.

Helping Yu Shinan is actually repaying a favor to someone who has passed away.

But only now did Cui Wenxuan feel that he had truly come to know this man again.

"You're entrusting such an important matter to me? Are you sure you can handle it?" Cui Wenxuan asked.

Yu Shinan looked up at him and said, "You understand them. No one is more suitable than you."

Cui Wenxuan smiled, as if there was no need to say anything more, "Since you've entrusted this to me, I will do my best to handle it well."

"Um."

There was no further news, and logically Cui Wenxuan should have left.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped. "I've already had someone release video footage of Lin Yuanqing entangled with other men. It'll start spreading like wildfire in the next day or two."

Yu Shinan frowned and looked up at Cui Wenxuan. "This is not the best time."

"That wasn't my intention. Mrs. Ding called me." Cui Wenxuan didn't say anything more and went out.

Ding Jing didn't even ask Yu Shinan a single question about Li Shang and Lin Yuanqing's affairs.

I only made one phone call to Yu Shinan when I suddenly heard about Li Shang and Lin Yuanqing's affair.

Her unwillingness to pry into his affairs doesn't mean she's too old to hear or see properly; this situation is clearly abnormal.

Ding Jing realized after thinking about it herself that all that so-called affection in the past was just for show.

It must have been hard for him to work on the show for so long.

Ding Jing felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought about it. She wasn't usually a quiet person, so how did things turn out like this?

Why waste time on a woman you don't like at all?

She was both angry and heartbroken. As for the reason behind it, Ding Jing didn't want to guess or even ask.

But she just wanted him to think about her; with a clean and tidy neighborhood around her, it would be easier to find someone she liked.

How much can you worry about other people's business?

It would be impossible to discuss this with him, so Ding Jing directly gave Cui Wenxuan instructions. But in fact, Ding Jing really didn't know that Cui Wenxuan had so many filthy things about Lin Yuanqing.

Yu Shinan glanced at his phone, intending to call Ding Jing, but instead received a call from Fu Jingting first.

"Song Xingzhi arrived in Ancheng yesterday," Fu Jingting clicked his tongue. "You two orchestrated this whole scheme, and you didn't even bother to inform me?"

"It's a small matter, no need for you to get involved."

The "small matter" he mentioned was no small matter at all; it involved a lot more than that. However, Fu Jingting didn't say much more. "Xingzhi and Song Chang said they'd come over tonight, and you can come too."

Yu Shinan checked the time and responded.

They took advantage of the situation, saying, "We don't have much good stuff at home, so you'll have to bring your own ingredients for dinner tonight."

Yu Shinan, damn it!

……

"Second sister-in-law, Han Yi and I are actually not married."

"What?"

Xu Qingcheng was startled and stood up from the rattan chair.

Fu Sichen quickly grabbed Xu Qingcheng's arm, putting a finger to his lips to shush her, "Second sister-in-law, sister, don't get agitated!"

Xu Qingcheng pressed her fingers to her throbbing temples. "Fu Sichen, you're really something. You dared to lie about marriage?"

"Keep your voice down, Second Brother... Second Brother will hear you."

Fu Sichen hunched his shoulders and peered outside, afraid that his second sister-in-law's voice was too loud and his second brother would hear it.

On the open-air balcony on the third floor, the two women, an aunt and a sister-in-law, were whispering to each other.

Xu Qingcheng's mind was blown away by Fu Sichen's words.

"You're afraid your second brother will find out now. Why didn't you say anything when you did this?"

Fu Sichen lowered his head and obediently listened to the reprimand.

In the small garden below, the nanny was playing with several children, and their cheerful laughter echoed up in waves.

Xu Qingcheng glanced at the little radish below, looking quite troubled. "What should we do about the baby?"

Fu Sichen twisted his fingers. "Yan Zheng, come with me."

"Is Han Yi willing? Is the Han family willing?"

"Don't worry about the Han family, Han Yi will talk to them." Fu Sichen lowered his eyes. "There's nothing he's unwilling about."

Xu Qingcheng felt as if something had violently tugged at her brain. She struggled to control her shrill voice, "Fu Sichen, you're not going to tell me the child has nothing to do with Han Yi, are you?"

Fu Sichen looked up at Xu Qingcheng, giving her a look that said, "Second sister-in-law, you're so smart."

Xu Qingcheng couldn't hold back and slapped Fu Sichen hard across the face. "Just how many things are you still hiding?"
