After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

one year later

"Ailing, we've got another new order for our Vision Lighting Seating System!" Jensen excitedly walked to Jane Ailing's workstation.

"That's good." Jane Ailing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, then continued to reply to emails quickly in front of the computer.

"Besides securing the huge deal with Tianheng, we also landed collaborations with Xinghang and Huanyu!" Jensen leaned down and said to Jane Ailing, "Our department's vice president just retired, and I heard from the board that they've suggested you take over that position!"

Three months ago, Chaoyuan's vision lighting seat system made a stunning debut at the aviation expo, attracting market attention.

Tianheng was the first to sign a cooperation agreement with Chaoyuan for this system, and several other large aerospace manufacturing companies in the industry also extended olive branches to Chaoyuan.

"Really?" Jane smiled, then turned her gaze to the office area behind her. "I think we should give our hardworking engineers and designers a bigger bonus next quarter. It's not just my effort that's going on."

The achievements of Vision Systems today are the result of the collective efforts of their team.

"Engineer Chen and his team are already considering how to iterate the new system. Come with me to the meeting later. Don't try to dump everything on me and just spend time with your wife!"

Jane and Han Jia eventually got married. The two had a good relationship and were still in their honeymoon period. Jane felt that this was already affecting his work attitude.

"It's all thanks to you, I'm just not trying to steal the credit," Jason shrugged. "By the way, Mom asked when you're coming home for dinner?"

"I'm not going home tonight, I have dinner plans with Zhu Yan."

After getting off work, Jane drove towards Sands Plaza.

"Lingling, I've finally waited for you!" As soon as she entered the restaurant, Zhu Yan sat by the window and waved to her.

"I'm here. Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way." Jane put down her bag, pulled out a chair, and sat down opposite her.

Both of them have been very busy lately and haven't seen each other for a while.

"You're such a busy person, it's so hard to get a hold of you!" After ordering, Zhu Yan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Since the new product was launched, you seem even busier?"

"The business and after-sales departments will relay customer feedback to us, so we have to make corresponding adjustments, right?" Jian Ailing smiled helplessly. "Recently, we've been busy developing some customized functions based on customer needs, and our original system also needs to be updated and iterated."

Although she is not a technician, she is a project manager responsible for overseeing projects. She often has to hold meetings with engineers and designers to monitor progress, and also liaise with business and after-sales staff. Sometimes she is so busy that she doesn't have time to rest.

"Ugh, going to work is really tiring."

"But I can tell that besides being very tired, you actually seem to be having a lot of fun." Zhu Yan looked Jian Ailing up and down, staring at her with a disbelieving expression. "It's clear that you really enjoy this job."

"Well... although I'm very busy, I also feel quite accomplished." As she spoke, Jane couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

After all, it was a product she conceived, and she watched the Vision System go from a plan to its official launch, gaining attention and recognition in the industry.

She is naturally very happy with these results.

"I was thinking that I could create a product like this so that Chaoyuan could explore more possibilities, and that I could retire after it was done. But I didn't expect that this is just the beginning..." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel tired again.

"I see your brother and dad are quite supportive of you, aren't they? And what about your third cousin? Wasn't he the first to sign the first contract for your new product on behalf of Tianheng?" Zhu Yan looked at her with a teasing smile. "I heard a few days ago that this new product has passed Tianheng's internal testing and will be officially used in a new batch of models as a highlight and selling point to customers."

"Hmm..." A hint of joy unconsciously appeared in Jane Ailing's eyes. "He told me about it a couple of days ago."

"Now you're finally not thinking about divorce anymore, right?" Zhu Yan sighed. "Looks like the marriage fortune slips from Sanyuan Temple were really accurate. Do you remember what the slip said?"

Jane thought for a moment, then nodded gently, "I remember."

The silkworm's feet are bound by silk threads, yet they remain connected even when severed; only when the ice melts can the red rope be seen pulling them together.

Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite accurate.

"Last week, Ali and I also went to Sanyuan Temple to pray for marriage..." As she spoke, Zhu Yan's face showed a rare shy smile.

"Oh? What was the result?"

"I forgot the specific fortune slip, but the result was good!" She covered her mouth and chuckled.

"That's good. Remember to invite me to your wedding." Jane winked at her.

"Oh, by the way, Ali told me something about Zhou Ze'an," Zhu Yan suddenly lowered her voice, "Did your brother tell you?"

"No." Jane knew she disliked Zhou Ze'an, so she never mentioned him to her again.

"I heard Zhou Ze'an is in jail in Malaysia!"

"What?" Jane Ailing was initially surprised, but quickly guessed what it was. "Is it because he used some illegal drugs?"

"Hey, how did you know?" This time it was Zhu Yan's turn to be surprised. "Yeah, it seems like someone was drugging girls in bars recently, and the police traced the drugs back to him... Ugh, how disgusting! I never thought he was such a disgusting person!"

"Yes... I never expected him to be such a disgusting person." Jane sighed with emotion. "He deserved it."

"Speaking of which," Jane Ailing thought of another person, "Zeng Ying's verdict was handed down recently."

"I heard about that. Attempted murder resulted in a ten-year sentence!"

"You really can't hide anything from me."

"You know how well-informed I am," Zhu Yan patted her chest. "In my opinion, that kind of vicious woman deserves to rot in jail! I also heard she wrote you many apology letters, hoping you and Yu Yunting could forgive her?"

"This isn't an apology at all. She's just afraid of getting a long sentence." Jian Ailing said expressionlessly, tilting her head back to take a sip of water from her glass. "She only regrets that I didn't die and that she got arrested."

She had already given Zeng Ying a chance, but she didn't know how to cherish it. How could she possibly forgive someone like that?

After finishing their meal, Jian Ailing and Zhu Yan parted ways. She took the elevator down to the parking lot, but saw two familiar faces inside.

"Zhao Zitong, Xiao Yi?" Jian Ailing called out their names in surprise.

"Sister Ai Ling!" Du Xiaoyi was also surprised. "Our studio was having a get-together here. I didn't dare ask you because you've been so busy lately. I should have told you!"

"Yeah, are you done with your work yet? When are you coming back to our studio?" Zhao Zitong thought for a moment, then waved her hand, "But don't come back either. Mrs. Yu is coming to be a photographer for the clients, and I'm afraid it will scare them away."

Jane Ailing rolled her eyes at him helplessly. "Look at what you're saying, how many people would know if you didn't tell them?"

"That's hard to say, at least our studio knows about it."

Ever since Yu Yunting publicly announced her status as Mrs. Yu, he has started taking her to banquets and private parties. Jian Ailing usually declines, but sometimes she has no choice but to go along.

And so, more and more people learned of her identity as Mrs. Yu. Finally, it was Li Tong who told Zhao Zitong, which led to the entire studio finding out.

"Jane Ailing, come to think of it, this is clearly you being unfair, okay?" The three of them walked out of the elevator together, and Zhao Zitong stared at her. "You're clearly Yu Yunting's wife, why didn't you tell me before? Last time you even put on a show for us in Tianheng's office!"

"I just don't think there's anything worth saying about this."

"That's not true! Sister Ailing, you have no idea, Brother Tong often tells clients that Mrs. Yu is one of the partners in our studio, and he uses you as an endorsement everywhere!" Du Xiaoyi chuckled.

"Hey, you little rascal!" Zhao Zitong glanced at Du Xiaoyi, then looked at Jian Ailing. "I'm doing this for our studio. Anyway, I didn't lie; it's all the truth, isn't it? Otherwise, why do you think our studio has suddenly gotten so many orders lately? We're making money, and you're not happy about it?"

"Okay, I have no objection if it can help the studio." Jane Ailing shrugged. "I just hope that one day, you'll be talking to your clients not as Mrs. Yu, but as Jane Ailing."

"Okay, then try harder." Zhao Zitong had obviously drunk some wine, his cheeks were a little red as he patted her shoulder.

"Speaking of which, Sister Ai Ling, I saw your interview online last time!" Du Xiaoyi gave her a thumbs up. "Although I didn't understand much of the content, I just felt you looked great on camera!"

"Thank you." Jane Ailing smiled shyly and smoothed her hair.

By the time she returned to Yunsong Bay, it was already past 10 p.m.

Jane Ailing went upstairs and opened her bedroom door, only to find the bathroom door also opened at the same time. Yu Yunting came out wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair with a towel.

"Why are you back?" Jane Ailing was startled by him.

A while ago, Yu Yunting went to Germany on a business trip. He said on the phone yesterday that he wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

"Things went pretty well today, so I wanted to get back to see you as soon as possible." Yu Yunting approached, blocking her behind the door. "What, Mrs. Yu, you don't welcome me?"

Jane could feel the warm, damp air emanating from his body.

"Welcome..." Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed with a kiss.

"I haven't showered yet, I'm all dirty," she said with a laugh, gently pushing away the man who was getting closer and closer.

"I've had Xu Cheng book our tickets to Iceland next month." Yu Yunting seemed unconcerned, pressing his forehead against hers, his high, straight nose gently brushing against her delicate nose. "Didn't you say you wanted to see the Northern Lights last time?"

"Hmm, we haven't really gone on a trip together yet." Jane closed her eyes and touched his nose with hers. "Business trips don't count. Besides, you've always treated me like an assistant! This time, it's your turn to be my assistant!"

"Oh? What do you want to do?" A hint of interest crept into his deep voice.

"Booking hotels and finding travel guides... you can do what the assistant does!" She raised her hand and pinched his cheek. "Got it?"

Yu Yunting chuckled softly, "Aren't you afraid that Xu Cheng will end up doing all this work?"

"I don't care. You have to choose the hotel and itinerary yourself. If you're not satisfied with anything, I'll hold you responsible." She glanced at him, feigning anger.

"I know. It's been a week since we last met, why are you all frowning when you see me?" His voice was very gentle as he raised his hand to stroke her cheek.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower now, I'm still all sweaty!" Jian Ailing raised the corners of her mouth, revealing two small dimples. "You must be tired from your business trip."

"Really?" Yu Yunting didn't seem to care; he just wanted to pull her into his arms.

Jane nimbly slipped out of his arms, took clothes from the closet, and went into the bathroom.

Having washed away the sweat and fatigue, Jane walked out of the bathroom in a cheerful mood.

Her room had been fitted with the same large bed as the one in the next room. Yu Yunting had originally wanted to combine the two rooms into one, but Jian Ailing thought it was too much trouble. In the end, he listened to her suggestion, and a door was opened between the two rooms, turning the other side into a study and entertainment area, allowing them to work or relax in one space at the same time.

The room was dimly lit, with only a bedside lamp and a bedside lamp on.

Yu Yunting lay in the quilt, his eyes closed and his breathing steady, seemingly already fast asleep.

There was a faint dark circle under his eyes, which showed that he hadn't slept well during the few days he was away on business.

Jane stood by the bed, quietly gazing at his sleeping face, then lowered her head and gently kissed his forehead.

She still had many thoughts about this trip that she hadn't had a chance to share with him.

It's okay, I'll just tell him tomorrow.

Anyway, they have many more tomorrows ahead.

Jane Ailing walked to the window and gazed at the distant Cloud Pine Lake.

Although it was pitch black outside, for some reason, she felt inexplicably happy.

Perhaps it was because he came back early and gave her such a small surprise.

After all, over the past year, she had gradually gotten used to having someone sleep next to her. During the few days Yu Yunting was away, Jian Ailing hadn't been sleeping well either.

Despite being disappointed and hurt so many times, Jane still feels lucky.

I'm so glad that I still have the courage to pursue love again, and the ability to feel love again.

"Ailing..." She turned her head and heard the person on the bed calling her name in a daze.

"Coming," Jian Ailing replied softly, quickly walking to the bedside.

Yu Yunting did not wake up; he was just talking in his sleep.

Jane Ailing crawled into bed and slowly moved closer to him.

As if sensing something, Yu Yunting subconsciously reached out and pulled the person into his arms.

It's like muscle memory.

Jane raised the corners of her mouth, closed her eyes, and immediately felt waves of sleepiness wash over her.

Yes, I'm sure I'll get a good night's sleep tonight!
