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

This old house is quite old, and it's decorated in a traditional Chinese style. Even the furniture is made of the finest sandalwood. As soon as you enter, the faint scent of sandalwood wafts over, which matches Jiang Yuwei's scent quite well.

Upon entering the living room, one sees the old man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, leisurely playing chess with the butler.

"Here, yes, yes, put it here."

Seeing the old man's energetic spirit filled me with joy. Being reborn is truly wonderful; it feels like he's become young again, with significantly less gray hair. Thinking back, it's been so long since I've seen him so closely.

"Grandpa, I'm here!" I shouted.

When the old man heard this, he looked up at me with a smile, and his smile became even brighter when he saw Jiang Yuwei holding my hand.

"Ye Qiu, come here quickly, come here quickly. You can play a couple of games with your grandpa in place of the butler." With that, he "shooed" the butler away.

I broke free from Jiang Yuwei's hand and ran to the old man's side in three quick steps: "Grandpa, it's been such a long time since we last met."

"That's right, it's been half a month. I thought you'd forgotten about this old man." The old man pretended to be angry, but didn't forget to glance at Jiang Yuwei. "It's fine if this girl doesn't come, but you don't come home often either, leaving this lonely old man to play chess with the housekeeper to relieve your boredom."

Upon hearing this, the butler stood up with a smile and joked, "Old Master, you've always been thinking about the Master."

"Come, come, let's play chess." I sat down opposite the old man, and when I looked at the chessboard, hey, this was clearly a game the butler should have won, but one wrong move and he lost the whole game.

Grandpa loves playing chess. Whenever I came over, he'd drag me along and wouldn't let me leave. At first, I didn't understand him, and he'd get upset if I beat him. Later, the housekeeper told me that Grandpa was very competitive, but his chess skills... well, they needed improvement. So I learned to give him a few moves at crucial moments to cheer him up.

At this moment, the old man deliberately glanced at Jiang Yuwei and said loudly, "Ye Qiu is so considerate, unlike some people who come here like a block of ice. If you didn't know better, you would think she came to talk business."

I turned to look at Jiang Yuwei. She was sitting leisurely on the sofa reading the newspaper. When she heard the old man's words, she only slightly raised her eyelids. Her face was expressionless, but she still looked quite beautiful.

"Hey, Ye Qiu is such a thoughtful kid, he even remembered to buy me roast duck on the way." Upon hearing this, the old man's lips unconsciously curled up, and he even forgot about the chess game, standing up. I quickly followed and steadily handed him my cane.

"Look at Ye Qiu, she's so thoughtful, she even knows what Grandpa likes to eat." The old man smiled from ear to ear, and that warmth instantly spread to me. Grandpa, he's the only one in the Jiang family who cherishes me. Whenever I'm wronged or sad, as long as he knows, he'll always be the first to stand up for me and protect me.

He often joked that if he were gone one day, no one would be able to protect me. But fate is cruel; I left before him. I imagine he must be heartbroken and saddened to find out. Thinking of this, a pang of sorrow welled up in my heart, and I instinctively went to my grandfather and gave him a big hug.

Grandpa was clearly surprised, his body stiffened slightly, and then he asked softly, "What's wrong? Did that girl upset you again? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will stand up for you!" My nose tingled, and I held back my tears. "No, it's just that I haven't seen you in so long, Grandpa, and I miss you."

"See, I haven't spoiled you for nothing." Grandpa smiled even more brightly after hearing my words. "In the future, come back and keep this old man company more often."

"Okay," I replied, my heart filled with mixed emotions. I gently released my grandfather and helped him walk towards the dining room.

"That newspaper on the sofa is from two days ago, and you're still pretending to read it," the old man said, glancing at Jiang Yuwei with a hint of indulgent reproach. The old man had a daily habit of reading the newspaper, a hobby that Jiang Yuwei had inherited.

Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow and smiled, put down her newspaper, stood up, and walked towards us while rolling up her sleeves. "Play chess with you? I dare not. With your chess etiquette, you won't be happy if you lose." Her words were playful, making the atmosphere more relaxed.

The old man pretended to be angry, raising his cane as if to strike, but Jiang Yuwei deftly dodged it. The two exchanged blows, their eyes filled with smiles and tenderness. Standing to the side, I felt a warm glow in my heart, watching this scene, and truly felt happy.

At the dining table, the food was plentiful. The housekeeper said with a smile, "When the old man heard that you were coming, he specially instructed the kitchen to prepare extra dishes, all of which are the children's favorites. Please have a seat."

At this moment, the taste of home is warm and wonderful.

We were all sitting around the dining table. The old man looked at Jiang Yuwei. He was clearly holding back his anger because the fake stick he had just used hadn't hit her. Suddenly, he gently tapped the back of her hand with his chopsticks and said sternly, "Tell me the truth, have you gotten into trouble again?"

These words came so suddenly that I didn't react for a moment. Jiang Yuwei, on the other hand, was very calm. She picked up a shrimp and started peeling it. After peeling it, she carefully put it on the old man's plate.

"Don't believe those unfounded rumors," she said casually.

"Making baseless accusations? I didn't just listen to one side of the story. I've heard everything from various sources about what happened at the banquet, and I know it perfectly well. You still want to deny it?" The old man was clearly displeased.

Dinner? It suddenly dawned on me that they were talking about the last family gathering. My "health certificate" act had really infuriated my mother-in-law, but I'd forgotten that I also had to get past my father-in-law.

It seems tonight is Jiang Yuwei's "trap"?

I glanced at her sideways, and she seemed to recall the awkwardness of that night as well. Her eyes flashed at me with a sharp, piercing look.

"Looking at Ye Qiu won't help!" The old man slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Ye Qiu is the one who's being wronged now. Tell me the truth, are you having an affair?"

"No," Jiang Yuwei replied calmly, gracefully wiping her hands with a tissue.

"You two are both in good health, and you've been married for a year. What's going on?" the old man asked anxiously.

"Or...are you really unable to have children?" The old man became even more anxious and quickly turned to look at me. "Have you seen a doctor?"

I almost couldn't help but laugh. I naturally had to accept Jiang Yuwei's invitation, so I pretended to be sad and said, "Maybe she doesn't want to go because of her pride."

Jiang Yuwei's face darkened, her eyes seeming to want to tear me to pieces.

“I’m perfectly healthy and don’t need to see a doctor,” she said coldly.

The old man looked puzzled: "Then why is that?"

"Because I have absolutely no interest in that person." Jiang Yuwei looked me up and down and said dismissively, "With a physique like his, what woman would like him?"

My face immediately darkened. Although I knew she wasn't acting out of love turned to hate, she still couldn't be so harsh on my physique! You see, I have a standard eight-pack and V-line, she just hasn't had the chance to see it yet!

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man immediately sided with me upon hearing this. "No matter how many abs the men outside have, none of them are yours. Don't be reckless, or even if Ye Qiu doesn't pursue the matter, I'll be the first to not let you off the hook!"
