The early morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains. Ye Wanqing slowly woke up in the soft light and felt that her head was no longer heavy. She gently stroked her forehead and found that the high fever from last night had subsided.

She slowly sat up from the bed and took a breath for a few minutes before she remembered that Qin Zhuyu had stayed here last night to take care of her.

Ye Wanqing looked up at the clock on the wall and found that it was already late. She couldn't help but frowned slightly. Then she got out of bed, walked to the bathroom and started washing up.

Qin Zhuyu had already woken up and was carefully looking at the interior decoration of the villa.

When Ye Wanqing walked down the stairs lightly in a soft beige sweater, Qin Zhuyu saw that her complexion had obviously improved, and a stone in her heart finally fell:

"Wanqing, you're awake. How do you feel? Do you still have a fever?"

Ye Wanqing smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was no longer feeling unwell.

"Feeling much better, thank you. Have you had breakfast?" she said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Qin Zhuyu saw Ye Wanqing wanted to cook and immediately stepped forward to stop her:

"I've ordered takeout, it should be here soon. You just had a fever last night, so you should rest well today and stop working."

In order to cater to Lin Xuan's taste, Ye Wanqing once learned cooking. Qin Zhuyu had naturally experienced her cooking skills. Although she missed the delicious home-cooked meals, Qin Zhuyu knew that what Ye Wanqing needed most now was rest.

Qin Zhuyu herself came from a prominent family and was not good at cooking.

Ye Wanqing turned her head and glanced at Qin Zhuyu, then stepped out of the kitchen, poured two cups of warm water, and handed one to Qin Zhuyu:

"I'm so sorry for bothering you yesterday, Pearl. I'm feeling much better today. After breakfast, go and do your thing."

Qin Zhuyu did have other matters to deal with, so after breakfast, she said goodbye to Ye Wanqing and left the cozy little villa.

After Qin Zhuyu left, Ye Wanqing took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, then slowly walked to the study, turned on the computer, and prepared to start writing a new book.

At the same time, Lin Xuan returned to the company, and Zhao Yu followed closely behind him and entered the office with him.

Lin Xuan sat behind his desk, frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhao Yu. He asked in a calm tone, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yu stepped forward and handed the document to Lin Xuan. "Boss Lin, this is the information you asked me to investigate yesterday regarding Miss Ye's visit to a friend. The person Miss Ye visited yesterday was a man named Su Junyan, who tragically died in a fire ten years ago. Su Zimo is Su Junyan's younger brother."

Lin Xuan took the document and nodded simply: "I understand, you can go out first."

Zhao Yu nodded, gently closed the office door and left.

Lin Xuan picked up the document and tapped the cover lightly with his index and middle fingers, but he never opened it to read.

He and Ye Wanqing have reached the end of their marriage, and her private life is no longer important to him.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan threw the document into the trash can without any hesitation.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yu entered Lin Xuan's office again with new documents. His eyes accidentally swept across the trash can and saw the discarded document. He was stunned for a moment and almost couldn't help but remind Lin Xuan.

But when he raised his head and saw Lin Xuan's cold eyes, Zhao Yu immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out:

"I'm going out first, Mr. Lin."

Lin Xuan looked away from Zhao Yu and replied expressionlessly, "Yeah."

Zhao Yu closed his lips tightly and didn't say anything extra in the end.

He originally wanted to tell Lin Xuan that Su Junyan looked somewhat similar to Lin Xuan, but this thought flashed through Zhao Yu's mind, so how could he dare to really mention it.

He originally thought that Lin Xuan would review the information, so he deliberately included Su Junyan's photo in the document.

However, the information was eventually thrown into the trash.

Zhao Yu sighed softly in his heart. He should have thought of it long ago. After following Lin Xuan for so many years, Lin Xuan never cared about things that were irrelevant to him.

A soft sigh slowly drifted away in the air.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Lin celebrated her fiftieth birthday. Lin Xuan had already instructed Zhao Yu to carefully plan the birthday banquet.

Although he didn't want his mother to worry about these complicated matters, Lin Xuan still returned to the old Lin family house full of memories.

Ever since Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing divorced, Mrs. Lin has always felt a little dissatisfied.

She came from a prominent family and had a sharp vision. She knew that Ye Wanqing was a kind-hearted woman who had deep feelings for Lin Xuan.

After six years of marriage, Ye Wanqing's dedication and hard work ended up like this.

When Lin Xuan asked her opinion on the birthday banquet, Mrs. Lin was concentrating on the flower-cutting work in her hands, silent, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Lin Xuan stood aside, waiting patiently for his mother to speak.

After a long while, Mrs. Lin carefully placed the cut flowers into the vase, then slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Lin Xuan:

"The birthday party is just a superficial formality. As long as you still remember me as your mother, I will feel very satisfied."

"Is there any guest at the banquet that you particularly want to meet?" Lin Xuan continued to ask.

Mrs. Lin was not a native of Beijing. When the young master of the Lin family moved south, most of her relatives stayed in the north.

As time flies, brothers and sisters who were once the same age as me have now passed away one after another, and the contact with other younger generations has become increasingly sparse.

"I'm already at this age, is there any old friend I particularly miss? If you really want me to mention a name, then the one I want to see is Ye Wanqing."

There was a hint of longing in Mrs. Lin's words.

Mrs. Lin seemed to understand Lin Xuan's inner struggle. She caught a glimpse of his furrowed brow and scoffed softly, "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't force you and Ye Wanqing together again. Although I used to be a little dissatisfied with her, she has a gentle and patient personality. She comes to chat with me every day, and I've become accustomed to her company."

"Now that you're divorced, this house has become much quieter. Usually, only the housekeeper talks to me."

At this point, the loyal housekeeper, who had been with Mrs. Lin for many years, took over the conversation in due time: "But I am also an elderly person. What I talk about with my wife are all things of the past. How can these compare to the vibrant and fresh topics that Miss Ye brought to the table?"

Mrs. Lin took a sip of the hot tea in her hand and continued, "If you really want to, go and invite Ye Wanqing to my birthday party in person. It doesn't matter whether she brings a gift or not. I just miss her a little."

Lin Xuan turned his gaze to Mrs. Lin and said firmly, "I'll make arrangements, mother. Don't worry, Ye Wanqing will definitely come."

Mrs. Lin did not respond directly to his promise, but simply said, "Okay, go and do your thing. I'm also a little annoyed by you being here."

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly and could only obey the order and leave.

It wasn't until Lin Xuan disappeared from sight that the housekeeper spoke cautiously: "Madam, do you think it's possible for the young master and Miss Ye to get back together?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Things like marriage are destined by heaven. I won't force them to reconcile."

The housekeeper asked in surprise: "Then the Miss Ye you mentioned just now..."

Mrs. Lin sighed and said slowly, "Housekeeper, people are all made of flesh and blood. Over time, it will become clear who is right and who is wrong."

She is just a mother who speaks hard but is soft-hearted.

Mrs. Lin's words caused a subtle change in Lin Xuan's feelings towards Ye Wanqing. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, his thoughts returning to what his mother had just said. He couldn't help but feel that he did seem to owe Ye Wanqing something.

She had given so much for him, but all of this came to an end with the divorce.
