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

Jiang Yuwei followed behind me with a gloomy face. She was about to sit down next to me when Bai Caiwei sat down first.

Bai Caiwei raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yuwei, her provocation written all over her face.

I thought to myself, Bai Caiwei really deserved to be beaten up outside. If it weren't for my sake, Jiang Yuwei would have dealt with her long ago.

Jiang Yuwei poured a glass of water and respectfully handed it to her uncle with both hands, but her uncle only glanced at it coldly and did not take it.

Jiang Yuwei wasn't annoyed. She respectfully placed the water in front of her uncle and calmly said, "Uncle came today to see Ye Qiu. Don't worry, I will take good care of him. Once he's better, I will definitely take him to see you!"

Jiang Yuwei is really good at playing dumb; she clearly knows why her uncle came today.

The uncle snorted coldly, "No need, our Bai family will take good care of Ye Qiu."

After saying that, my uncle turned to look at me, his tone instantly becoming much gentler, "Ye Qiu, go pack your things and come back with your uncle. Your uncle has hired several full-time caregivers, so he will definitely take good care of you and keep you healthy."

I smiled and replied, "Okay."

Jiang Yuwei immediately retorted, "No way."

Our voices rang out at the same time, but Jiang Yuwei's voice clearly drowned out mine.

I curled my lips into a sneer and said, "Jiang Yuwei, you have no right to refuse."

My legs are my own, I can go wherever I want.

Jiang Yuwei frowned even more deeply. "You promised me you wouldn't leave me!"

I was utterly speechless. Jiang Yuwei really knows how to talk nonsense.

I said sternly, "Jiang Yuwei, are you deaf or brain-dead? When did I ever agree to that? You're the one who's been shamelessly following me around."

"And I made it very clear before that I only allow you to stay by my side for a period of time."

Jiang Yuwei's gaze suddenly tightened as she stared at me intently, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Your injury is partly due to me, and I have a responsibility to take care of you."

I curled my lips into a smile. "No need."

It's impossible for us to live together forever.

Jiang Yuwei's expression tightened, "But..."

Her uncle tapped the floor with his cane, interrupting Jiang Yuwei.

"Alright, Ye Qiu has made himself clear enough, so stop bothering me! I don't know what methods you've used to keep Ye Qiu here these past few days, but now that I'm here, I'll definitely take him back!"

"If you want to stop me, go ahead and try, and see if you have the ability."

I suddenly remembered the bodyguards dressed in all black at the entrance; they all looked like well-trained professionals.

Jiang Yuwei had arranged quite a few people around the villa, but compared to the people her uncle brought, they seemed rather inadequate.

Besides, as long as Jiang Yuwei is not mentally unstable, she would never lay a hand on her uncle unless she was truly prepared to completely break ties with the Bai family.

Jiang Yuwei lowered her eyes. "Uncle, you're overthinking it. You're an elder; how could I dare to lay a hand on you?"

"Ye Qiu can go with you, but I want to come too. He's in poor health right now, and I need to take care of him."

Jiang Yuwei's voice was very soft, tinged with grievance, and sounded pitiful.

Bai Caiwei, who was drinking water, almost spat it out when she heard Jiang Yuwei's words.

She turned to look at Jiang Yuwei and whispered, "Brother, has your ex-wife taken the wrong medicine? She's like a completely different person."

Looking at Bai Caiwei's exaggerated expression, I thought to myself, "This is nothing!"

When I deliberately ignore Jiang Yuwei, she clings to me like a puppy, rubbing her chin against my shoulder and showering me with sweet words. I can't push her away even with all my might. If Bai Caiwei saw Jiang Yuwei like that, her jaw would drop!

The uncle remained cold, "Don't worry, the Bai family can afford nannies and servants, so you don't need to worry about that! As for you, as long as I'm here, you'll never be able to enter the Bai family's door in this lifetime."

“You know very well how much Ye Qiu suffered in your Jiang family. This matter will not be resolved with me.”

After saying that, my uncle turned to me and said, "Ye Qiu, go pack your things."

I responded and quickly stood up.

Jiang Yuwei stood up with me, but her uncle stopped her sternly, "Sit down!"

Jiang Yuwei glanced at me, her lips pressed tightly together, and after hesitating for a moment, she sat back down.

I took Zhang Yan upstairs and packed my sketchbooks and other things into my suitcase. As for clothes, I only brought a few pieces.

As Zhang Yan helped me tidy up, she asked, "Sir, are you coming back?"

I was slightly taken aback; I hadn't really thought about that question before.

I just felt that something was wrong with me lately, and all I wanted to do was get away from Jiang Yuwei as soon as possible, but I didn't think about what would happen next.

Seeing my silence, Zhang Yan seemed to understand something.

"Sir, I can't bear to part with you. Could you please not leave? Besides, Ms. Jiang... you can actually sense that Ms. Jiang loves you very much, right?"

I... I can definitely feel it.

That's why my once firm resolve wavered. But I know very well that I can't be with Jiang Yuwei.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that she can't let go of Chen Yiran is enough to make me disgusted.

I gently patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder. "You're still young and haven't experienced much in matters of the heart. You'll understand when you've experienced more in the future, but I hope you never will."

Zhang Yan curled his lip. "Sir, have you forgotten? You're about my age! You probably haven't experienced much either."

I smiled but didn't say anything. I've lived through five lifetimes... However, I had no intention of telling him about such an unbelievable thing.

"Alright, let's go downstairs. I'll talk to Jiang Yuwei and let you continue working here. Of course, if you want to come with me, that's fine too, and your salary will remain the same."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. "Really? Sir, you're really willing to take me away?"

I nodded.

After spending time with him these past few days, I finally understand why so many people want a housekeeper like Zhang Yan. Not only is he efficient, but most importantly, he's quiet and never causes trouble.

Besides, I've gotten used to his cooking these days, and it might not suit my taste if it were someone else.

In just over ten minutes, Zhang Yan's mood changed from dejected to excited. He helped me carry my suitcase, and we went downstairs together.

The living room was deathly silent. Several people sat on the sofa, and no one spoke. Hearing our footsteps, they all turned around at once.

My uncle stood up with a loving expression. "Is everything packed?"

I nodded, then looked at Jiang Yuwei, "I like Zhang Yan's cooking, and he'll come with me. I'll pay his salary."

Jiang Yuwei stared at me intently, and I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I felt that her eyes were a little red.

Bai Caiwei said quietly, "Someone really should reflect on what they are. They made my brother prefer to take a butler with him rather than even glance at someone else."
