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

Jiang Yuwei remained silent. I was secretly pleased with myself, but on the surface I had to pretend to be serious and say, "Grandpa, don't worry. Yuwei is a workaholic. She wouldn't have the mind to do anything messy. She's just... shy and embarrassed to go to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei's face immediately darkened, and she gave me a cold glance.

Upon hearing this, the old man slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "If you're sick, you should get treatment! What era are we living in? Private hospitals are very confidential. If all else fails, we can try in-vitro fertilization. What's so shameful about that!"

"You and Ye Qiu are already married, yet you're still dragging your feet on getting things done. How can you face her? Besides, if you two didn't... you know... how would you have a child?"

Jiang Yuwei's face was as black as ink, and she said through gritted teeth, "Grandpa, I'm really fine!"

The old man paused for a moment, then, as if suddenly realizing something, his eyes darted back and forth between the two of us, his face full of confusion.

"That wouldn't be Ye Qiu... uh, you don't have a problem, do you?"

"Ahem!" Now it was my turn to feel awkward. How did the topic suddenly turn to me?

Seeing that we didn't say anything, the old man stomped his feet anxiously: "When I was your age, your dad was already old enough to run errands! Men are born with this kind of skill, so why are you stuck?" As he spoke, he even wanted to give me a lesson on the spot and even wanted to find me "textbooks".

I quickly looked at Jiang Yuwei, hoping she could help me out of this predicament, but she acted as if nothing had happened and calmly picked up a piece of food.

What should I do?

“Grandpa, I understand, I understand everything, but Yuwei, she…” I was so frightened by Jiang Yuwei’s gaze that I swallowed my words back before I could finish.

"You understand, so it's because she's not cooperating?" The old man looked suspicious.

I quickly smoothed things over: "I'm not a child anymore. We need to take it slow and build up our relationship. Don't rush me."

The old man snorted, not saying anything, but clearly still dissatisfied. He thought for a moment, then finally said, "Since you understand, then hurry up and don't keep me waiting too long."

Jiang Yuwei rolled her eyes at me again, her eyes clearly saying, "You asked for it."

"Please don't worry about it, okay?" she said coldly.

"I don't care when I'll be able to hold my grandson!" The old man got a little angry. "Don't think I don't know, you've been living at the company lately and haven't come home at all!"

I was stunned. Jiang Yuwei was actually living at the company every day? This was so unusual. Even though she was cold to me before, she wasn't this neglectful of her family. Could it be that she had really changed?

Jiang Yuwei gently shifted her gaze away from me, rubbed her temples, and then considerately added some food to the old man's plate, saying, "Grandpa, you always say 'don't talk while eating,' so let's all follow that rule."

"Hey, you little brat," the old man grumbled, "Why do you only know how to serve me food, but not your husband?"

I instantly became the center of attention, inwardly crying out, "How...how did I get dragged into this again?"

Just as I was feeling awkward, Jiang Yuwei's gaze unexpectedly met mine, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. That smile contained a hint of chill that was hard to detect, like a cold wind in winter that went straight to my heart.

"Okay, Grandpa," she replied, then picked up a piece of scallion with her chopsticks and deliberately placed it in my bowl, saying, word by word, "This is your favorite, eat more."

I was so miserable! Jiang Yuwei was obviously trying to mess with me. Everyone knows I hate onions the most!

Not to be outdone, I quickly retaliated, picking up a piece of beef covered in onions for her, my smile more like a grimace: "Thank you, wife. You should try some too. We can't waste Grandpa's good intentions."

Jiang Yuwei smiled mockingly and said casually, "That's right, then you'd better eat more." After saying that, she added another chopstick of garlic scallop to my bowl.

I was speechless. Why does this woman always target the foods I don't like?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, making my heart tighten. How did Jiang Yuwei know so many things I don't like to eat?

Just as I was pondering this to myself, my bowl was already piled high with dishes I didn't like, especially the bright green scallions, which made me roll my eyes.

"Aaaaaah, Jiang Yuwei, I'm not done with you yet!" I roared in my heart.

Seeing this, the old man chuckled and said, "You two are really getting more and more energetic. Oh, by the way, there's bird's nest stewing in the kitchen, bring it up to them." After saying that, he instructed someone to clean the room, "It's getting late, you should stay here tonight, it's not safe to drive back."

Upon hearing this, I almost jumped up: "Grandpa, I have something to do tonight and I have to go back to take care of it." As I spoke, I winked at Jiang Yuwei, hoping she would agree, but she acted as if she didn't see it and leisurely enjoyed her last supper.

Now I was completely out of options and had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue this "battle at the dinner table".

What is she up to? Why won't she cooperate with me? Does she want to share a bed with me?

The old man pursed his lips, his face clearly showing his displeasure.

"What's the matter that you have to leave? Grandpa will take care of it for you. Stay here tonight. It's been so long since you've come back to keep this old man company."

Seeing his expression, I realized he genuinely wanted me to stay, and my heart stirred. In the end, I agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll stay and chat with you."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately beamed with joy, making me wonder if he had been feigning helplessness on purpose.

Jiang Yuwei watched from the side, and from beginning to end, from my refusal to my acceptance, her expression didn't change at all.

The old man doesn't like a lively atmosphere at home. Usually, only the housekeeper keeps him company. The hourly worker and the cook come and go as they please.

After finishing my meal, I rolled up my sleeves, ready to clear the dishes, but the old man stopped me: "You usually do these chores, let her do them today." He then glared at Jiang Yuwei, "What are you standing there for? Go wash the dishes!"

I glanced at Jiang Yuwei, feeling a little smug.

You know, she doesn't do anything at home, but when she's with Grandpa, she still has to give me face and help me with some housework.

As expected, Jiang Yuwei glanced at the mess on the table, sighed, and finally gave in: "Alright." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair and delicate arm.

After Jiang Yuwei went into the kitchen, the old man started nagging me: "Ye Qiu, you spoil her too much. Sometimes you have to be firm and give her something new so she will rely on you more instead of always riding on your head."

The old man was absolutely right. But once we're divorced, even if she wanted to lord it over me, she wouldn't have the chance.

I smiled and replied to the old man, "Okay."

The old man continued, "However, Yuwei is a thoughtful, kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and capable girl. If you can win her heart, you'll be living a life of happiness. I truly hope you two can have a good life together..."
