The Tao family and the Li family are relatives.

Mrs. Li’s younger sister is Tao Yingran’s second grandmother, and the two families are sisters-in-law.

However, Tao Yingran's identity is special. She is the daughter of Tao's father's comrade-in-arms. Her biological father died of illness more than ten years ago and entrusted her to Tao's father.

After that, he grew up in the Tao family. Later, he went through the adoption procedures and his surname was changed to Tao.

In terms of legal relationship, she is already considered the daughter of the Tao family.

The Tao family has many descendants and many family members who are involved in various industries. The other younger generations do not have a good relationship with Li Chengye. To be precise, they deliberately distance themselves from him because of his identity as an illegitimate child.

Most people supported the team leader Li Mingyuan and were very indifferent to Li Chengye, even isolating him.

Only Tao Yingran, the cousin's sister, didn't like Li Mingyuan and was closer to him instead.

In addition, Qu Man has a good relationship with her adoptive mother, so Li Chengye also takes care of her like a younger sister.

Facing Tao Yingran's enthusiastic invitation, the man didn't hesitate and glanced at Zhao Kun who had just gotten off the car behind him: "Can the two of us do it?"

Tao Yingran had a happy smile on her face: "Of course, the nanny is still at home now. If it's not enough, just ask her to add a few more dishes. I'll send her a message first."

As she said that, she immediately took out her cell phone.

Sent a message to the babysitter at home.

"If you are unhappy with the food at home in the future, you can come to my place. We all live in the same neighborhood anyway, so it won't be a hassle if it's just a few steps away."

As Tao Yingran spoke, he led the two of them towards the elevator of his building.

……

On the other side, Mu Yuan finished her meal alone, cleaned up the dishes, and then, according to the notebook given by Aunt Lai, found the clothes that Li Chengye would wear tomorrow and hung them outside.

After everything was done, she curled up on the sofa in the living room and read a book.

The gorgeous crystal chandelier illuminates the spacious living room. It is so quiet that there is no sound except the breeze outside the window and the turning of papers in one's hands.

She was all alone, feeling particularly lonely.

But she has long been used to it.

After all, before she married into the Li family, she also lived alone. At that time, she lived in the villa that Mu Changyong had built in the suburbs many years ago, which was many times more deserted than Yingyue Bay.

It was so quiet that a fire broke out in the middle of the night and no one knew about it. She woke up and escaped by herself and called the police herself.

Therefore, the loneliness at home due to Li Chenye’s absence is nothing to Mu Yuan.

She doesn't care and just quietly does what she should do and what she wants to do.

It's almost ten o'clock.

Li Chenye still hadn't come back, nor had he replied to her message. Mu Yuan had to go to school the next day, so she took a quick shower and prepared to go to bed.

Before going to bed, she still patiently sent a message to Li Chenye.

【Do you go home at night? 】

If he doesn't come back, she won't make breakfast tomorrow and can just take a taxi to school and eat something.

The bedside lamp was dimly lit, and Mu Yuan was lying on her side on the bed. The warm light sprinkled on her thick and long eyelashes, making her eyes look particularly gentle and soft as she waited for a reply.

At this time, Li Chengye was at Tao Yingran's house, and together with Zhao Kun, the three of them were drinking tea and chatting, but it was basically Tao Yingran who was talking, Li Chengye was listening, and Zhao Kun occasionally said a few words.

The phone on the table vibrated. Li Chengye opened it and saw that it was a message from Mu Yuan. His brows immediately frowned in impatience.

Tao Yingran sat opposite him and saw that he looked unhappy: "Brother Cheng, what's wrong? Is that Mu Yuan bothering you again?"

Li Chengye looked at his phone: "Yeah."

Tao Yingran pouted and complained, "Mrs. Li is such a jerk. She insisted on letting you marry a woman like this. I don't understand. Brother Mingyuan is already like that, and you are the only son left in the Li family. Why do they still favor Brother Mingyuan?"

The incense needs to be passed on, and Li's father is old, so it is impossible for him to have another child.

The probability of a vegetative patient waking up is already very low, so now Brother Cheng is the only one left in the Li family.

Why are their attitudes still so bad?

All good things are left to the eldest brother, and all bad things are done by Brother Cheng. Isn’t the wedding ceremony an example?

Li Chengye's eyes were still on his phone. He replied to Mu Yuan with a "I want it back" and answered Tao Yingran's question nonchalantly, "Who knows? Maybe there are still people offering incense outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Yingran was stunned.

Zhao Kun was also stunned. This was an angle he had never imagined, and he had never heard Brother Cheng mention it before.

Li Chengye raised his eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile in his eyes: "Just saying it casually, it's getting late, I'll go back."

Zhao Kun glanced at Li Chengye's expression.

That indifferent and sharp look didn't seem like a casual remark, nor did it sound like a joke.

Li Chengye picked up his phone and stood up.

Tao Yingran also stood up and walked up to him: "Brother, I can't interfere in your family affairs, and I can't help you with your career, but no matter what, I support you. If you need help, remember to tell me."

Li Chengye glanced at his phone.

Mu Yuan still didn't reply to him.

"Girls are born to enjoy life, there's no need to worry about these things," he told Tao Yingran.

"Brother Cheng, I want to ask you a question." Li Chengye had already walked to the door when Tao Yingran suddenly called him, "After the two-year period between you and Mu Yuan is over, you will definitely get a divorce, right?"

Li Chengye looked indifferent and only answered with one word: "Yeah."

Tao Yingran raised her lips slightly and waved at him: "Good night, go to bed early."

Li Chengye nodded, left with Zhao Kun and returned to his residence.

He usually doesn't stay here much, but he has everything he needs. After taking a quick shower in the master bedroom, he looked at his phone again. For some reason, Mu Yuan still hadn't replied.

Li Chengye's eyes flashed with impatience, and he made a phone call while wiping his hair.

The phone rang for a long time before I picked it up.

Mu Yuan's voice was hazy in the microphone, and it was obvious that he had fallen asleep.

Mu Yuan answered the phone in confusion: "Hello?"

For some reason, the soft voice, with an indescribable tingling sensation, slid directly into the man's cochlea.

Li Chengye's expression became even more stern, and he asked directly: "Didn't you see the message?"

Mu Yuan frowned and opened the chat box, and saw that he said he was coming back: "Okay, got it."

Li Chengye's tone became even more impatient: "What's your attitude?"

The stern tone instantly sobered Mu Yuan up.

After she sent a message to Li Chenye, she waited for a while but he didn't reply. She felt sleepy, so she turned off the lights and fell asleep.

I thought I would see the same thing tomorrow morning.

Anyway, it’s about breakfast.

Now that she saw it, she could only say good. What else could she say?

Mu Yuan thought that he had a very bad temper. She held the phone and explained carefully, "I fell asleep earlier. If you want to come back, I will prepare breakfast tomorrow before going to school."

Li Chengye: "I'm staying in the city tonight. Take a taxi now and come over here to sleep with me. Prepare breakfast here tomorrow."

Mu Yuan was completely awake and looked at the time. It was already half past ten.

Now he wants her to go through so much trouble, this guy must be doing it on purpose!
