A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Youthful beauty fades, yet the lingering melody remains; a poignant song breaks the heart.

After the performance, Ding Hanhan felt like a broken guqin, completely disintegrated, unable to pluck a single note.

"Are you satisfied now?" Gu Feng gently rubbed her still burning earlobe and asked in a low voice.

Ding Hanhan nodded, arching her body slightly like a docile kitten, nestling softly into his arms. After this entanglement of spirit and flesh, she had lost all her anger—neither resentment nor strength.

"Then don't treat me like that again." Gu Feng smiled, paused, and added, "Although... it's quite interesting this way too."

"It's not fun." Ding Hanhan shook her head, looked up at him blankly, "I don't want to be mean to you at all, but when I think about what happened that day, my heart feels heavy."

Gu Feng was speechless for a moment, cursing himself for being so foolish as to bring up the very thing he shouldn't have.

I should have guessed it; she was just angry about what happened that day.

"Gu Feng, please don't do that in front of me again, okay?" Ding Hanhan's voice was soft and pleading, the cold and imposing demeanor of the young lady of the dragon's head was gone, as was her fierce and aggressive appearance just now.

Gu Feng nodded.

Seeing that his brow was still furrowed, Ding Hanhan raised her delicate white hand and gently stroked his brow with her slender fingertips. "Cheer up, don't frown. I like seeing you smile, even if it's a mischievous smile, I really like it. You should know that..."

She paused, her face slightly flushed, but she still mustered the courage to finish her sentence, "I may have been a little crazy just now, but that was another way I showed my love for you."

"I understand," Gu Feng said with a wry smile.

"Do you like it?" Ding Hanhan drew circles on his chest with her slender white fingers.

"It's my first time, so I'm not quite used to it yet," Gu Feng said honestly.

"Hehe, you'll like it after coming a few more times."

Ding Hanhan chuckled softly, then snuggled closer to him, slowly closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, the pale red sunlight shone through the curtains onto Gu Feng's face, somewhat dazzling, waking him from his sleep.

The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself surrounded by a warm, soft woman.

Ding Hanhan was pressed close to him, her pretty face and eyes already open, quietly watching him.

"When did you wake up?" Gu Feng asked softly.

"It's been a while," Ding Hanhan replied, then added, "Gu Feng, promise me one thing!"

"Okay!" Gu Feng readily agreed without worrying about anything else.

"You have to keep your word."

A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.

"Pinky promise." Ding Hanhan didn't turn around, but stretched out a small hand from the front to the back, raising her little finger.

Gu Feng had no choice but to comply, hooking his little finger around hers and pulling it.

"Help me take over those five halls," Ding Hanhan said softly.

"Ugh, didn't you say last night you wouldn't use this as an exchange?"

"This isn't an exchange; it's a demand I'm making of you, and you just agreed to it. You're a grown man; you wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word, would you?"

Gu Feng was extremely frustrated. He never expected that Ding Hanhan, who was always cold and aloof, would go to such lengths to set him up. It seems that women, no matter what kind they are, are all vixens at heart.

"Are you... angry?" Ding Hanhan asked timidly.

"What do you think?" Gu Feng glanced at her irritably.

"So, are you going to get angry?" Ding Hanhan asked again.

What do you think?

"Then I'll let you get angry, okay?"

Gu Feng really wanted to kick her off the bed. But when she clung to him, all his anger vanished.

Alas, heroes have always found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women, and Gu Feng was no exception.

The two lingered together, making love and fooling around in the room until after ten o'clock.

Ding Hanhan was the first to get up, while Gu Feng, as the main breadwinner, continued to sleep soundly with his head covered.

Around noon, Ding Lizhi, who had been discharged from the hospital, returned surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

Looking at his rosy complexion and energetic appearance, you wouldn't guess he just came from the hospital.

Ding Hanhan went out to greet him, but never returned.

Gu Feng didn't mind. Anyway, no one was bothering him, so he was happy to have some peace and quiet and slept soundly.

Gu Feng was woken up at noon and then taken to Ding Lisheng's ward.

Old Man Ding, Ding Lizhi, Ding Hanhan, and Ding Lisheng lying in bed were all present. Gu Feng felt a headache coming on at the sight of this gathering; it seemed a family meeting was about to begin. But what did this have to do with him? Was he, the man secretly having an affair with Ding Hanhan, really considered a member of the Ding family?

"Hehe, Gu Feng is here?" To some surprise, Ding Lizhi was the first to greet him.

"Hello, Second Uncle." Gu Feng, sensing the situation, quickly responded politely, but inwardly he wondered: Had Ding Lizhi taken the wrong medicine at the hospital? Wasn't he quite unfriendly to him before?

Seeing this, Ding Lisheng, Ding Hanhan, and Old Man Ding all smiled. The room, on the surface, appeared peaceful and harmonious.

"Now, everyone's finally here. Although there have been some twists and turns, I'm very fortunate that my whole family is here." Sitting in his wheelchair, Old Man Ding turned the wheels with his hands, his gaze sweeping over everyone, a rare smile appearing on his face. "Since it's rare for everyone to be here, I'll tell you all a few things."

Seeing the solemnity hidden beneath his gentle face, Gu Feng sensed that what the old man was about to say would carry significant weight. Not only him, but the rest of the Ding family felt the same way.

"Shenzhen is my hometown. I was born here, grew up here, and only went to Hong Kong after I started a family and had you all, and later to France. In a way, I'm no different from all those who leave their hometowns; I'm just pushed along by life."

Old Man Ding's kind gaze slowly swept over his family, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face: "You may not know, but when I was young, my nickname was 'Ding the Unskilled.' Because back then, I didn't know how to do any of the four most important jobs—farming, boating, fishing, and drying salted fish. I couldn't support my family, so I had to go out and make my way in the world. After all these years of hard work, I've managed to accumulate some wealth, but my initial thought was simply to ensure that my family had enough to eat and warm clothes to wear."

Ding Hanhan walked gently to his side and placed her hand on his thin shoulder.

Old Ding smiled gently, patted his granddaughter's hand, and then continued, "In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and I've reached the twilight of my life. Perhaps one day I'll pass away, and that will be the end of my life. But I don't feel guilty. I've done right by my family, and even when I meet my ancestors in the afterlife, I can stand tall with my head held high."

"Grandpa, please don't say these things..." Ding Hanhan's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was very soft.

"It's alright, Han'er, let Grandpa finish what he has to say." Old Man Ding comforted his granddaughter, then sighed deeply and said, "Yes, I'm old, and you've both grown up. Some things, you have to let go of. Money, you can't take it with you when you die. As the old saying goes, a big tree branches out, and big children divide the family. While I'm still here, let's divide the family property between you two brothers today."

Old Ding's tone was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable decisiveness.

"Father!" Ding Lisheng and Ding Lizhi's expressions changed, and they spoke in unison.

Old Man Ding waved his hand, interrupting them without leaving any room for discussion: "I've thought about this for a long time and I've made up my mind. You two just need to follow my arrangements. Don't worry, whether it's the eldest or the second eldest, they're both my own flesh and blood, and I won't favor either of them."

To put it bluntly, splitting up a large family means breaking up a large, unified family into several new smaller families.

When dividing a family property, the main thing to be divided is naturally the assets. In other families, this is an extremely complicated matter, and achieving absolute fairness is almost impossible. Only when both parties are willing and discuss it calmly can the division be peaceful and prevent future disputes.

The Ding family is large and powerful, and Gu Feng figured that clearing things up would take a long time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; it seemed he wouldn't be able to leave today.

"Eldest brother, second brother, especially the second brother, you all know roughly what my assets are. What I mean is, the second brother has been with me since he was a child, and he has contributed a lot to Yisheng Group over the years. He is also more familiar with the operation of this business. So I'm thinking of handing Yisheng Group over to the second brother. As for my other properties and funds in China, they will all go to the eldest brother. Do you have any objections to this division?" Old Man Ding asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Feng could clearly see that both Ding Lisheng and Ding Lizhi were somewhat excited. This was understandable; the old man Ding spoke casually, but the wealth implied in his words was unfathomable.

Ding Lisheng's excitement was tinged with a sense of sorrow. Separating the family meant independence, but it also meant the disintegration of the large family—something he did not want to see.

Ding Lizhi's excitement was mixed with joy, even a sense of relief.

The moment Old Man Ding finished speaking, a complex mix of emotions flashed across his face.

But in any case, the two brothers were trying their best to restrain themselves and cover it up.

Looking at Ding Lisheng and Ding Lizhi, whose hearts were in turmoil but whose faces remained calm, Gu Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly: The Ding family members are truly outstanding individuals, not like ordinary people.

"You all need to express your opinions. If you have any, just say it. Don't be shy. If you're too embarrassed to speak up today, it will become a thorn in your side later, which is the last thing I want to see, and it goes against my original intention of separating the family." Old Man Ding's tone remained calm.

"I have no objection." Ding Lizhi's voice trembled almost imperceptibly. The Yisheng Group had grown to a point where its value couldn't be measured in monetary terms. His father's division of assets was somewhat biased towards him.

Ding Lisheng shook his head weakly. This man of steel had slightly reddened eyes.

Is he upset because he received less? No one can guess what Ding Lisheng is thinking at this moment.

Only when Old Man Ding looked at his eldest son did his throat feel slightly sore.

"Alright, since there are no objections, it's settled then. I've already had my lawyer draft the division agreement; you just need to sign it." Old Man Ding clapped his hands, and his private lawyer came in, gave a few brief instructions, and then distributed three copies of the division agreement to everyone.

After everyone had signed, Old Man Ding had the lawyer leave.

"Father, about your retirement in the future..." Ding Lizhi spoke again.

Old Ding waved his hand, interrupting him: "Second son, you don't need to worry about that. I can take care of myself. When I was young, people called me 'Ding the Silly,' but I didn't like that name. Once I'm feeling better, I'll go back to our ancestral home in the countryside. There, I'll grow flowers and plants, dry salted fish, and find a few old friends to practice Tai Chi and play chess. I already had the ancestral home cleaned up a while ago."

It seems that Old Man Ding's decision to divide the family property wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thought, but rather something he had planned long ago. Gu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that the old man had acted on a whim because of his words last night.

"Father..." Ding Lizhi wanted to say something more.

Old Ding smiled and interrupted him again: "Second son, you've just been discharged from the hospital, and the group is still running smoothly. There's a bunch of miscellaneous things waiting for you to handle when you get back. I've already arranged a chartered plane for you to fly directly to France. It's about time, so get ready to leave."

Ding Lizhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left the room without saying anything more.

After Ding Lizhi left, the people in the room remained silent for a moment. Old man Ding, in his wheelchair, became even more silent.

After a while, until the sound of a car engine came from outside and the car carrying Ding Lizhi drove out of the Ding family villa, Old Man Ding slowly raised his head. When he noticed everyone looking at him, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Come on, Gu Feng, push me out and let's go for a walk in the garden."

"Okay." Gu Feng stepped forward and pushed Old Man Ding out the door.

When he turned around, he saw Ding Hanhan and Ding Lisheng looking at him, so he nodded to them, indicating that he would take good care of the old man and that they could rest assured.
