Yan Qiongying was still in his office. When she saw Ye Wenming, she summoned up courage and went forward. "Mr. Ye, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I came here with the best of intentions. I meant no harm..."However, Ye Wenming slapped her to the floor before she got close."You meant no harm?" Ye Wenming stared at her coldly. "Do you think you're smart, or do you think I'm a fool? If it isn’t for the fact that you helped Qianyun back then, what you've done today is enough to make you and your backer have no place in Shen City!"Yan Qiongying instantly stiffened, and she only felt a burning pain on her face.Ye Wenming said coldly, "Don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you even though you've helped Qianyun before! If you tell anyone else what Qianyun suffered in prison, I can guarantee that you’ll never be able to say another word."Yan Qiongying eventually left Ye Wenming's office while trembling all over.All she felt was fear. She could even feel a desire
After all, she knew how much her daughter had suffered.Speaking of pitiful, her daughter was much more pitiful than Ye Wenming!"Alright, Mom. Why don't you have an early rest?" said Zhuo Qianyun.She gently looked down once she saw her mother returning to her room. She raised her hand to her chest and sighed sadly.Since coming back to the store, all she could think about was what she saw in Ye Wenming's office—Yan Qiongying leaning on Ye Wenming.She knew there must be something wrong there. After all, Yan Qiongying had nothing much to do with Ye Wenming before, but the sight still caused her chest to feel stuffy. She even had the urge to rush forward and pull them apart earlier.'What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't care about it!'Her marriage to Ye Wenming was just a matter of expediency. They had even agreed to divorce in the future.Even if Ye Wenming was not with Yan Qiongying today but with any other woman, she should not care!She knew that, so why...'Is it
Ye Wenming's eyes fell on his son again as he said, "Let's go... then, Lil Yan."Zhuo Yan looked at Ye Wenming. He hesitated for a moment before calling him ‘Daddy.’Although it was only one word, it made Ye Wenming smile. His eyes also seemed to be brimming with tears.He should be content. Lil Yan was finally willing to call him ‘Daddy’ after the mistakes he made.Zhuo Qianyun's eyes glimmered a little when she saw that.The three of them arrived at Lil Yan's school. As it was parent-child day, the school was bustling with parents accompanying their children to their respective classes.Each class had a theme for the parent-child event. For example, some were doing haunted houses, where students and their parents would dress up as ghosts and monsters. There would also be some sound effects as well as light and shadow effects to add to the atmosphere.There was a class with a secret escape room and one with a Hansel and Gretel theme, where students would gift each other snacks
Zhuo Qianyun chose a simple Chinese Hanfu dress, which fit right over her clothes. Meanwhile, Ye Wenming wore a military uniform from the Second World War.It was refreshing to see him wear that. It was Zhuo Qianyun’s first time seeing Ye Wenming in a military uniform too. For the first time, she learned how good he looked in a military uniform!There were already gasps from all around them. The parents reacted better. Some of the women only showed a look of amazement on their faces.However, the little girls here were already nine to ten years old. Some of them usually fangirled over celebrities. As soon as they saw Ye Wenming in a military uniform, their eyes instantly lit up as they started chattering. Some even took out their phones to take photos of Ye Wenming.It did not bother Ye Wenming. Instead, he started serving drinks as requested.Thanks to Ye Wenming, their business was booming. Many people from other classes ran over to have Ye Wenming ‘serve’ them. Even Lil Yan
As she had her head down, she could not see what his fingers were doing, but this made her all the more nervous.Even Zhuo Qianyun could not explain what she was nervous about.Ye Wenming's fingers gently detangled her hair from the clasp. He was even vaguely grateful to the person who came up with the idea of wearing costumes. Otherwise, her hair would not have gotten caught in the clasp and he would not have gotten the chance to get so openly close to her. She would not have quietly stood still as he pressed against her either.It was just like the old days. She used to lean into his arms and speak in a soft, coquettish voice, "Wenming, you know what? Your arms feel so safe. It's as if I have nothing to be afraid of when I'm in your arms. Even if the sky falls, you’ll hold it up for me.”However, he was the one who made her world collapse!Now, he could not give her any sense of security. All he could give her was fear.His eyes darkened at the thought of this, and he quickly w
Therefore, Yiran and Yi Jinli were probably at today’s parent-child event too. After a while, Zhuo Qianyun finally saw Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli. The two of them were at Yi Qianci's side. The things Yi Qianci had put out to sell had all been sold.Yi Qianci stood with He Zixin. He was just like a puppy that followed her around.He Zixin's parents were also here. They were attentive toward He Zixin and Yi Qianci as if they took care of the kids well. However, Zhuo Qianyun was aware of their true nature and disliked them. Ling Yiran was surprised to see Ye Wenming after seeing Zhuo Qianyun.After saying hello, Ling Yiran pulled Zhuo Qianyun aside and whispered, "What a rare sight to see you attend the parent-child event with Ye Wenming.""I don't want my son to have regrets. If I were the only one accompanying Lil Yan to these parent-child events, those rumors will continue flying around,” said Zhuo Qianyun. That would only cause trouble for her son."Did you ask Ye Wenming to com
Zhuo Qianyun nodded, and the three finally reached the school cafeteria. Ye Wenming and Lil Yan went to the counter to buy some food and drinks, while Zhuo Qianyun found a seat and waited for them.Zhuo Qianyun's eyes welled up as she watched the father and son hold a plate each while choosing the food.This scene was common for ordinary families.However, it was so rare for her.She once thought Ye Wenming and Lil Yan would never get along like normal father and son.However, what happened today had surprised her. Perhaps it was exactly because they were father and son. They were tied by blood, after all.'What about me... How much affection do I have left for Ye Wenming?''If there's really nothing left, why did I feel some discomfort in my chest when I heard Ye Wenming had been getting his blood drawn for me? Is it just because I don't want to owe Ye Wenming anything?'She thought that the best thing that could happen to her was to raise her children, take good care of her m
"Thank you for today. Lil Yan had a great time," said Zhuo Qianyun. She could see that her son was in a good mood."It's what a father is supposed to do. You don't need to thank me. I'm the one who owes Lil Yan too much," said Ye Wenming. After some hesitation, he added, "Qianyun, what you saw the other day when you came to my office—"There was tension in his voice as he said this.However, she interrupted before he could finish. "You don't need to explain it to me!""But you're my wife, aren't you?" he asked as he looked at her intently. There was even an imploring look in his eyes. "Even if... we're going to get a divorce later on, you're still my wife right now. Shouldn't you find out what's going on?"For a moment, what he said and the look in his eyes made it hard for her to retort."Yan Qiongying came to me the other day and told me about what happened to you in prison. I... was so distracted that I didn't even notice her approaching me. The next thing I knew, you were alr
