After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Ye Feng paused, his gaze sweeping towards the doorway.

He quickly changed his clothes, then folded the clothes he had taken off and quietly put them into the closet.

"Oda?"

Ye Feng opened the door and saw Xiong Xiaotian standing at the door with his schoolbag on his back, his eyes darting around, looking like he had done something wrong.

Xiong Xiaotian's unusual behavior immediately aroused Ye Feng's suspicion.

"Let me see your schoolbag." Ye Feng reached out his hand to Xiong Xiaotian.

"What's wrong, Uncle Feng? What's so interesting about my backpack?" Xiong Xiaotian subconsciously hid the backpack behind his back, his eyes darting around.

Ye Feng's face darkened. "Have you finished your homework? Let me check it."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Xiong Xiaotian had no choice but to slowly walk up to Ye Feng.

Just then, Liu Qingyi returned.

"I'm back," came Liu Qingyi's voice.

Xiong Xiaotian felt like he had been granted a pardon. Taking advantage of Ye Feng's momentary distraction, he immediately went to Liu Qingyi and pulled her aside to talk.

After saying that, he ran away in a flash and went into his room.

Ye Feng frowned slightly as he watched Xiong Xiaotian's fleeing figure.

He turned to look at Liu Qingyi, "What did you say to Xiaotian just now? Why does he look so guilty?"

Liu Qingyi avoided Ye Feng's gaze, "It's nothing, it's just children's business, don't worry about it."

After saying that, he walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

Liu Qingyi seemed to be in a bad mood today, appearing somewhat aloof and giving Ye Feng a perfunctory response to his concern.

"Dinner's ready," Ye Feng said softly as he walked to Liu Qingyi's side.

Liu Qingyi was uninterested. "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

Ye Feng sat down next to her. "Eat something, don't starve yourself."

"I won't eat!" Liu Qingyi suddenly became irritable, forcefully shaking her leg, her high heels landing on the floor with a "clatter".

Ye Feng bent down to pick up the high heels and happened to see Liu Qingyi's feet wearing thin stockings.

Liu Qingyi lazily lifted her foot, "Give me a massage, I'm tired from walking."

Ye Feng froze, clutching his high heels. A foot massage? He didn't know how to react for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng squatted down and gently grabbed Liu Qingyi's foot.

"Ah!" Liu Qingyi abruptly pulled her foot back, glaring at Ye Feng. "What are you doing!"

Her soles were very sensitive, and Ye Feng's touch made her feel a tingling sensation instantly.

Ye Feng looked completely innocent. "Didn't you ask me to massage your feet?"

Liu Qingyi blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "I asked you to massage my legs! My legs!"

Ye Feng sat back down on the sofa and gently pinched Liu Qingyi's calf.

Liu Qingyi felt even more uncomfortable and pushed him away, saying, "Never mind, it's okay."

Ye Feng coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

Whether you press her or not, it's still her. What does this woman want?

Liu Qingyi glared at Ye Feng, "Go check if dinner is ready."

Just then, Sister-in-law Xiong hummed a little tune and brought the last dish to the table.

"It's time to eat!"

Sister-in-law Xiong was in an exceptionally good mood today, with a smile constantly on her lips.

After Liu Qingyi came out, she was warmly pulled to sit down by Sister Xiong.

"Qingyi, come and try the sweet and sour pork ribs I made today! This is Xiaotian's favorite dish!"

Ye Feng secretly winked and gave Liu Qingyi a playful look.

Liu Qingyi was somewhat bewildered by his sudden action and couldn't help but cast a questioning glance at him.

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Xiong laughed and teased, "Oh, Xiao Feng, you've forgotten your sister-in-law now that you have a wife? You only have Qingyi in your eyes!"

Ye Feng touched his nose and smiled sheepishly.

Brother Bear also burst into laughter.

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

Sister-in-law Xiong was the talk of the office today, all because of the set of cosmetics that Liu Qingyi gave her.

Her colleagues all surrounded her, asking what brand it was and where she bought it.

She then discovered that the cosmetics set was a limited edition in China and was not usually sold to individual customers.

So she started showing off.

She told everyone that her husband knew the store manager and that it was easy for him to buy it.

Now that the news has spread, many people are asking her to buy things for them, and even her female boss has asked her to, leaving her both amused and exasperated.

At the dinner table, Brother Xiong pulled Ye Feng aside to chat about his future plans.

"Ye Feng, what are your plans for the future?"

Ye Feng gave a perfunctory reply.

He vaguely sensed that his older brother might be having some troubles at work, but there were too many people around to ask him in detail. He planned to find another opportunity to have a proper talk with his older brother later.

On the other hand, Liu Qingyi and Sister-in-law Xiong were chatting enthusiastically, their topic naturally revolving around cosmetics.

"Qingyi, the cosmetics you gave me are amazing! My skin is so soft and supple now!"

Liu Qingyi smiled politely.

After dinner, Liu Qingyi left early to return to her room, citing work commitments.

Watching Liu Qingyi's departing figure, Ye Feng had a vague feeling that she had something on her mind.

As Sister-in-law Xiong cleared away the dishes, she exclaimed, "Mom, look! Xiao Feng has such good taste; he found such a wonderful wife! The house is getting more and more lively now!"

The mother bear couldn't stop smiling.

"Of course! Qingyi is beautiful and capable, she's good in every way!"

After Mother Bear returned to her room, Brother Bear approached Sister Bear and whispered, "What did you and Qingyi talk about? You two seemed to be having a good time."

Sister-in-law Xiong smiled mysteriously, "Want to know? I'm not telling you!"

When Ye Feng returned to his room, he found Liu Qingyi sitting on the bed with her brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?" Ye Feng asked with concern.

Liu Qingyi raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's my sister-in-law... She wants me to buy her a set of cosmetics."

"Is that all?" Ye Feng asked, somewhat puzzled. "What's so difficult about that?"

“It’s not as simple as you think.” Liu Qingyi sighed. “My sister-in-law said that her colleagues and bosses at work have all seen the set of cosmetics she uses and want her to help them buy more.”

Ye Feng then understood.

"So, you said yes to her?"

"Yes, I promised to bring it back for her tomorrow." Liu Qingyi said somewhat helplessly, "Actually, they sell it in the mall. I just need to tell my staff. It's not a big deal. It's just..."

"Just what?"

“I hadn’t had much contact with my sister-in-law before, and now I realize that she’s quite straightforward and can’t keep anything to herself. I just gave her a set of cosmetics yesterday, and she came to my door today. I’m worried that if this sets a precedent, what will I do if other colleagues ask her for help and she comes to me in return? I never bother my subordinates with personal matters at the company.”

Looking at Liu Qingyi's slightly anxious expression, Ye Feng felt a pang of heartache.

"It's alright. Next time your sister-in-law comes looking for you, I'll cover for her." Ye Feng said in a relaxed tone, trying to ease Liu Qingyi's anxiety.
