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

Chapter 492 If you can't stand the food, go outside

My uncle put a piece of fish on my plate and said irritably, "Stop wailing. I made him do it. Your brother isn't feeling well right now, so he needs to eat lighter food."

Bai Caiwei choked for a moment, then muttered softly, "But this is too bland!"

The uncle said coldly, "If you can't stand the food, then leave. Your brother's health is the most important thing right now."

I whispered, "Uncle, I also think this dish is a bit..."

Before I could finish speaking, my uncle interrupted me gently, "You're still young and don't understand these things. Eating like this while you're sick is good for your health. I can listen to you about other things, but you have to listen to me about this."

My uncle has already said so much, so I can't say anything more.

At the dinner table, my uncle kept putting food on my plate, and I could only force myself to eat it. In the end, I barely ate any rice.

After the meal, Zhang Yan brought me a plate of fruit. I usually only eat a little fruit, but today I ate half the plate in no time.

Zhang Yan pulled out a tissue and handed it to me, saying, "Sir, please eat slowly."

Perhaps because I'm recovering from a serious illness, my taste buds have become a bit heavy, and I simply can't stomach this boiled vegetable-like food.

A brilliant idea struck me: "Next time, secretly add some seasoning."

Zhang Yan frowned. "That's unlikely. Mr. Bai was watching me the whole time I was cooking today. He wouldn't let me put any seasonings in except salt. I even got scolded for trying to sneak in some soy sauce!"

"However, Mr. Bai is doing this for your own good, so I can't say anything."

"..."

My uncle is a very stubborn person. Once he's made up his mind, it's hard to change it. Like that villa, he tried everything he could to give it to me.

I can't imagine what the future holds; will I have to live on boiled vegetables all the time?

Zhang Yan sat down next to me. "Your cousin just went out. I heard her making a phone call to invite someone to dinner. I guess she didn't eat well. Sir, how about I take you out to eat?"

I shook my head. "Forget it!"

Once or twice is fine, but you can't go out every time.

Moreover, we don't know where Gu Xianzhi is right now. I always feel like he might suddenly appear out of nowhere. It would be a lie to say I'm not worried.

If Jiang Yuwei were here, things would be better. Thinking of this, I was somewhat shocked. We had only just left the old house, and I had already thought of Jiang Yuwei several times.

I put down my fork, a little annoyed. "I want to sleep for a while. Call me again for dinner tonight!"

"Okay." Zhang Yan got up and went downstairs.

It was early autumn, and the afternoon sun was still bright at two o'clock. I walked to the window to draw the curtains and casually glanced outside. There was a black luxury car parked under the trees outside the fence.

I couldn't help but take a second look. My uncle lives in a villa area, so it's not surprising to see luxury cars here, but they're usually parked in garages, and very few people park them on the street.

Although it was a bit strange, I didn't think much of it and drew the curtains.

As expected, the dinner was similar to lunch, and I couldn't eat much at all. In the end, more than half of the food was left on the table.

For my uncle, the food was nutritionally balanced, just lacking a bit of salt. He was used to eating it when he was sick before, so he doesn't know how much Bai Caiwei and I suffered while eating it.

I ate a little something and went back to my room. Zhang Yan mysteriously brought me some cookies.

Zhang Yan changed the blankets on the bed. "Sir, it will be colder tomorrow, and there will be heavy rain for the next few days. I'll give you a thicker blanket. Also, you tend to kick off the covers when you sleep at night, so don't lock the door. I'll come over to check on you and cover you up."

I was a little surprised. "How did you know I'm a restless sleeper?"

I remember very clearly that I never slept with Zhang Yan at night, so he shouldn't know about this.

Zhang Yan sighed slightly, "It was President Jiang who instructed me to make sure you eat less sugary fruit and more vegetables, and that you finish all those tonics and don't flush them down the toilet. And there's a lot more..."

I was a little lost in thought. I knew Jiang Yuwei had been very good to me during this time, but I didn't expect her to be so observant.

That tonic had a rather unpleasant smell, so I always drank half and poured the other half away. I thought no one would know, but I never expected Jiang Yuwei to find out.

Zhang Yan sighed, "Sir, Mr. Jiang really cares about you. I'll be so grateful if my wife can be half as good as Mr. Jiang in the future."

After Zhang Yan left the room, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. It was strange, because when we were at the old house, Jiang Yuwei often stayed up very late before returning to her room. Although I didn't sleep well then, at least I could fall asleep.

I've never been like this before, unable to fall asleep no matter how I count sheep, listen to music, or meditate.

Is it because I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed? But I've never had this problem growing up!

I stared blankly at the ceiling. The night was quiet and cool. I wrapped myself tighter in the blanket and missed Jiang Yuwei's embrace. No matter when, she was always warm.

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded outside the door, startling me so much that I immediately sat up in bed.

My uncle lives in a villa area that is one of the best in the country. The security measures are very comprehensive. In addition to security guards patrolling day and night, every house is equipped with a security system that will sound an alarm if someone breaks in!

In less than two minutes, well-trained security guards will arrive.

I'm not worried about safety, I'm just curious how thieves managed to sneak in here when strangers aren't allowed in?

I pulled out my phone from the side; it was 1:30 a.m.

Hurried footsteps came from the doorway. Only Bai Caiwei and I lived upstairs. Needless to say, the child must have heard the commotion and gone downstairs to watch the show.

I thought about it and figured I couldn't sleep anyway, so I decided to get up and go out with them.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw my uncle sitting on the living room sofa, wearing a coat and looking serious. Bai Caiwei was standing next to him, and as soon as she saw me, she ran over, "Brother, you were woken up too!"

I wasn't woken up; I hadn't been asleep at all.

Bai Caiwei laughed and said, "I was playing on my phone when the alarm startled me. It seems that thieves don't have much of a brain when they dare to come here to steal things."

As we were talking, we heard footsteps outside the door. Bai Caiwei pulled me toward the door, where we saw seven or eight people in security uniforms surrounding a person and walking toward us.

Needless to say, the woman in the middle wearing a gray casual outfit and a baseball cap is the thief.

The security guards in the villa were all carefully selected and had contracts with many security companies. They were all over 185 cm tall. Even so, the men were not overshadowed. On the contrary, their walking posture was much more imposing than the others, and they looked like leaders.

Are thieves these days so brazen?

Bai Caiwei suddenly put on a serious face, "Wait, why does this thief look so familiar?"

Hearing Bai Caiwei say this, I suddenly felt the same way.

As a group of people approached, the woman raised her head, and my pupils dilated in shock.

"Jiang Yuwei?!"
