Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

After getting off the car, He Yaoyao looked at the majestic building in front of him and shook his head.

Why did I get here?

Really affected.

After staying for a while, she was about to take a taxi back when the receptionist of Xie Tingxuan's company came out and stopped her quickly, "Ms. He, our general manager wants you to meet him."

"what?"

Did he notice she was coming?

She subconsciously looked up, and the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Nicholas Tse was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the 13th floor, looking down at her.

Those eyes, though far away, were sharp and intimidating.

He Yaoyao was startled and wanted to refuse, but then she thought, since she was already here, she might as well ask Xie Tingxuan what he wanted to do by approaching her mother.

So she nodded and followed the receptionist into the building.

As the elevator climbed higher, He Yaoyao's mood became increasingly heavy.

When she reached the 13th floor, the receptionist politely asked her to wait and then knocked on a closed door.

After receiving a response, the receptionist pushed open the door and motioned He Yaoyao to go in.

Nicholas Tse's office is spacious and bright, with simple yet stylish decoration.

He stood in front of his desk with his back to the window. The sunlight shone through the glass onto his body, giving him a faint golden glow.

He Yaoyao walked in and stood not far from him, looking at him coldly: "Xie Tingxuan, why do you always go to my mother's house and pretend to be my boyfriend? What do you want to do? Didn't I tell you that no matter what you do, you can't separate me and Chi Yu."

"I didn't mean to separate you two," Xie Tingxuan explained, his voice a little low. "I just saw that she was too lonely staying in the nursing home alone, so I went to see her occasionally."

"She's just like you, very wary. If I hadn't told her I was your boyfriend, she wouldn't have let me get close to her."

"You know this is what my boyfriend should do, but you're not. What's your reason for doing this? Do you know that when I brought Chiyu over today, my mom was very against him? How much damage did this do to him and our relationship?"

Being condemned by her like this, Xie Tingxuan's eyes were a little hurt. "Yaoyao, I understand your worries and dissatisfaction, but I really do this out of good intentions. Your mother... actually misses you very much. When she mentions you, her eyes are full of tenderness and pride. I just hope that I can give her some company when she is lonely, so that she can feel the warmth of her family."

He Yaoyao's anger didn't subside immediately after hearing this, but a subtle tenderness flashed in her eyes. "Even so, you shouldn't have taken the initiative to pretend to be my boyfriend. My mother is in poor health and can't withstand such stimulation. And, Chi Yu... He loves me very much and respects my family very much. What happened today has hurt him deeply."

Xie Tingxuan sighed softly, a hint of apology in his eyes. "I admit that my actions were inappropriate and I didn't seek your consent beforehand. As for Chiyu, I'm willing to find a suitable opportunity to explain everything to him. I hope to gain his understanding and forgiveness."

He Yaoyao was silent for a moment, as if trying to weigh the truth of Xie Tingxuan's words. Finally, she spoke, her tone much softer than before, "Okay, since you really do care about my mom, I'll let it go this time. However, please keep a proper distance from us in the future, and don't interfere in our lives in this way again."

Xie Nicholas Tse nodded.

When He Yaoyao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. When did he become so cooperative and obedient?

But he immediately regained his composure and said in a more serious tone, "Xie Nicholas Tse, our life is very peaceful now. I don't want any disturbances. I hope you can remember the limits."

After saying that, He Yaoyao turned and walked towards the door without looking back.

The door closed gently, leaving Xie Tingxuan standing alone in the empty office, staring at the door with a painful heart.

Why was she so cruel to him?

He was unwilling to even grant him such a small wish.

He Yaoyao returned home, and Chi Yu came back soon after.

She wanted to explain and ask Chi Yu not to think too much, but he took the initiative to make amends, "Auntie is old, it's normal for her to be confused for a while. Yaoyao, we should spend more time and attention with her, otherwise, before long, she might forget about you, her daughter."

Chi Yu's thoughtfulness warmed He Yaoyao's heart. She held Chi Yu's hand tightly, with gratitude shining in her eyes. "Chi Yu, thank you. You are always so considerate. It's great to have you by my side."

The two smiled at each other, and all the haze seemed to disappear at this moment.

In the following days, He Yaoyao began to visit the sanatorium frequently, bringing Chi Yu with her every time.

She patiently explained Chi Yu's identity to her mother and told her the story between them, trying to gradually dispel her mother's doubts and rejection.

Gradually, Mom came to accept Chi Yu and no longer rejected or disliked him. She could accept him pushing her out for a walk or peeling apples for her to eat.

But on this day, He Yaoyao found that something was wrong with her mother. The nurse pushed her to go out for a walk, but she refused to go. She tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen. She sat stubbornly at the door, as if waiting for someone.

He Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat. Could she be waiting for Xie Nicholas Tse to appear?

"Mom, who are you waiting for?"

She asked him, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the door.

When someone passes by or footsteps approach, her eyes will suddenly light up, but when she realizes it is not the person she is looking for, her eyes quickly dim again.

"Mom, are you waiting for him?" He Yaoyao took out a photo of Nicholas Tse.

When her mother saw the photo, her eyes changed significantly.

"Mom, why are you waiting for him? He is not a good person. He approaches you for a purpose." He Yaoyao tried to persuade her mother, but her tone no longer had the previous determination.

Unexpectedly, when she said something bad about Ting Hsueh, her mother would suddenly retort, unable to accept it, "He is a good man. That Chi Yu is not a good man. He is not a good match for you. Ting Hsueh is the best match for you."

"Hurry up and contact Xie Tingxuan and ask him to come see me and tell him that I miss him, otherwise I don't want you to stay here."

She actually said that. These days, Chi Yu has been with her frequently, and she thought her mother had forgotten Xie Nicholas Tse and fell in love with Chi Yu.

It turns out that it wasn't the case. Nicholas Tse was irreplaceable in her heart.

In order to calm her mother down, He Yaoyao could only cooperate, "Okay, I'll call him right away and ask him to come see you. Don't get excited, okay? Just go back to bed and lie down obediently."

He Yaoyao spoke while gently stroking her mother's back, trying to calm her excited emotions.

The mother looked like a child who had received the promise she wanted. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on her face and she nodded slowly. Then, with the help of the nurse, she went back to her room to rest.

He Yaoyao stood in front of the window, looking at the darkening sky outside, feeling mixed emotions.

She didn't understand why her mother had such deep feelings for Nicholas Tse, as if they were even deeper than for her, her daughter.

She dialed Xie Tingxuan's number, and soon his deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the line: "Yaoyao?"
