After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

That afternoon, I went back to the old house with Grandpa Jiang and the others. After having lunch with my grandfather, I went upstairs for a short rest.

As a result, Jiang Yuwei followed me with practiced ease, but I coldly blocked her at the door. Undeterred, Jiang Yuwei braced herself against the door frame with just the right amount of force, leaving a gap.

I looked at her coldly, "I'm taking a nap, what are you doing?"

Faced with my questioning, Jiang Yuwei remained unfazed and confidently replied, "I'll go with you!"

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, I immediately became angry. "Ma'am, please understand, we are now ex-husband and ex-wife. There is no legitimate reason for us to be in the same room. You'd better go somewhere cool and stay there!"

As he spoke, he tried to pry her fingers apart one by one, and she could only helplessly let go.

Just as I was about to close the door, her foot quietly pressed against the bottom of the door.

"You can refuse to let me stay with you, but I need you to stay with me!"

"..."

Jiang Yuwei is not only good at roasting people, but she can also come up with a whole set of fallacies!

She talks a good game, telling me I can do whatever I want with her, but this woman has done her share of trying to do what she wants with me!

I smiled at her and said, "Okay, then ask me now. If I agree, I'll let you in!"

Jiang Yuwei frowned, unable to speak.

After sending Jiang Yuwei away, I closed the door and went to sleep. I slept very soundly, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already dark outside.

I sat up and found that there was another person next to me. Jiang Yuwei seemed to have been woken up by me. She opened her eyes and put her arm around my waist. "You're awake. Do you want to go back to sleep?"

Perhaps because she had just woken up, Jiang Yuwei spoke with a slightly nasal tone, like she was being coquettish, which made my heart flutter!

"You...how did you get in?"

I was shocked, but even more angry, and I pushed her away abruptly.

Jiang Yuwei rubbed her temples, looking quite helpless. "You have the nerve to ask? You're such a restless sleeper, the blanket has fallen off countless times. Luckily I'm here watching over you, otherwise you'd be waiting to catch a cold!"

Jiang Yuwei wasn't lying; I do sleep restlessly, but that's absolutely no excuse for her to barge in.

"I don't need your care, the nanny will suffice!"

Jiang Yuwei calmly got out of bed, her face showing no emotion. "Unfortunately, she has some family matters to attend to and has taken leave. She won't be back for a while."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei turned to look at me, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "To tell you the truth, it's not just her. All the servants in the old house have gone home for the holidays, and Grandpa has also gone to visit a friend. For the next while, it will just be the two of us here."

I instantly realized that this was all part of her meticulously planned scheme.

“…You did this on purpose!” I glared at her, my voice full of accusation.

She shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"Grandpa came up with the idea; he wanted us to strengthen our relationship. I'm happy for it, because I genuinely want to take care of you."

I stared at her coldly without saying a word, feeling a vague unease in my heart. To be honest, apart from her sharp tongue and domineering nature, Jiang Yuwei wasn't a bad person.

But I know I cannot waver; I must remain clear-headed.

Jiang Yuwei frowned slightly. "Ye Qiu, everything I said is true."

I'd never believe that!

Suddenly, I remembered that Jiang Yuwei had been making a secret phone call behind my back a few days ago. It must have been around that time that she and the old man started plotting how to trick me.

As it turned out, I was completely unsuspecting and came to the old house according to their plan.

Liars are all liars!

Seeing that I was frowning and not saying anything, Jiang Yuwei's expression immediately turned serious. "You're not thinking about how to leave again, are you?"

Jiang Yuwei was terrified of me; the times I secretly slipped away before left her with some trauma.

So when they saw that I wasn't saying anything, they assumed I was up to something.

However, she was overthinking things this time. Even if I can walk, I need somewhere to go. I want to go to my uncle's place after I feel better!

My friend and I have fallen out, so the best option for me now is to stay here and let Jiang Yuwei take good care of me.

Seeing that I remained silent, Jiang Yuwei turned my shoulder, a shadow flashing in her dark eyes. "Ye Qiu, let me tell you the truth, although there are no servants here, there are bodyguards hidden around. You can't escape!"

I irritably pushed Jiang Yuwei away and said jokingly, "You really want to take care of me that much?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuwei replied without hesitation.

Her brows were furrowed, and a shadow of gloom hung over her delicate face.

I looked at her expressionlessly. "I can stay here, but we need to agree on three rules!"
