"Although she is my daughter, we have been like strangers for so many years. I admit that when I gave birth to her, I imposed this resentment on her because of your uncle Bai."

Shi Yu sighed and said, "But our relationship has come to this point today. It can only be said that we are destined to be together. It has nothing to do with you. Don't put this kind of pressure on yourself, and don't take all the blame on yourself. Do you understand?"

Ning Yuechen nodded gently and said, "Aunt Shi, I understand."

After she finished speaking, she moved closer to Aunt Shi, hugged her arm and whispered, "Aunt Shi, I know what you've been through. As a woman, I think I can understand the pain and regret in your heart. But I can't just say that I can empathize with you. After all, no one is qualified to persuade you to let go of the damage that has been done to your heart and body in the past with simple words."

"So even though I know Bai Yi is innocent, she shouldn't have to endure such a consequence. In my heart, I selfishly hope that you can care for her more, love her, and make up for the maternal love she has been missing all these years. But I won't, and I don't have any qualifications to advise you. Because from beginning to end, I am the beneficiary of this tragedy."

Shi Yu's eyes flushed. She hugged her and said, "Yu Chen, Aunt Shi knows what you want to say. I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do, just like the promise I made to you when I took you back to the Bai family."

Grow up freely and happily, always follow your heart and enjoy your life.

She patted the girl's back gently and continued, "Whether you want to continue to study in City B or do something else, I will support you."

Ning Yuechen hugged Aunt Shi tighter, his tone was bitter, but also full of expectation: "Aunt Shi, I will work hard to become better, and then work hard to make money for you to spend."

"You kid, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, I believe in our Chenchen. Auntie will be waiting for you then."

"Good~"

In the dim room, Bai Yi picked up the red wine glass on the table, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and looked at the lighted room on the second floor opposite.

The curtains in the bedroom were not drawn, and from her angle she could vaguely see two figures hugging each other. The scene was very warm, and the conversation between them was even more full of tenderness.

"But to be honest, your friend is really nice, gentle, kind, well-educated, and has a good temperament. When she comes to City B, Aunt Shi will definitely invite her to come to our house. What do you think?"

"Okay, thank you Aunt Shi."

"Then continue painting. I won't disturb you."

"Okay, good night, Aunt Shi."

"Good night."

Bai Yi took a sip of red wine, listened to the slight sound of the door closing coming from the Bluetooth headset, and his deep gaze fell on the person sitting at the desk opposite him.

She stared at his profile for an unknown amount of time, until he closed the sketchbook in his hand, stretched and yawned, and then stood up and closed the curtains.

From the other person's perspective, he cannot see what is happening in his room, but from her direction, she can clearly see any subtle expression on the other person's face.

When the girl looked in the direction of her room, the melancholy and lost expression on her face eventually disappeared from her sight along with the sound of the curtains closing in her Bluetooth headset.

Amidst the rustling sound, the sound of running water could be heard. Bai Yi took off the Bluetooth headset from his right ear and casually placed it on the bar. He then picked up the cigarette box beside him, took out a cigarette and lit it.

In the invisible clouds of mist, she recalled Ning Yuechen's words just now in her mind. When the cigarette was about to burn out, she snorted softly, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Ning Yuechen went out for a while. Because she was feeling a little nervous and bored, when her private car drove to the gate of the villa, she simply got out of the car and walked towards the main building.

It was six o'clock in the evening, the hottest time of the summer, but there was a gentle breeze on this beautiful hillside, making it comfortable to walk like this.

When she arrived at the main building, it was dinner time for the Bai family. Since she had no appetite, she simply set up an easel in the leisure room connected to the living room and concentrated on painting, not noticing the gaze from afar.
