Half an hour later, when Chen Yuxin reappeared, she was wearing a pink long dress, with a noble yet elegant makeup, a charming beauty with a slender waist, and bright eyes, her cheeks rosy with a smile, leisurely and seemingly happy.

"Kai, I've kept you waiting." Chen Yuxin walked up with a smile, ignoring the gazes of the people around, and directly embraced Ye Shikai with deep affection.

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, you should return to your room to rest." Ye Shikai didn't say much more; to be precise, he was still immersed in grief right now, too distracted to think about another woman.

"I'm fine now, really." Chen Yuxin did a twirl in front of Ye Shikai, and as her skirt fluttered, Ye Shikai seemed to see Su Qingyu on the wedding day, when she stood happily in front of him wearing a wedding dress...

"Kai, Kai, are you okay?" Chen Yuxin called out a few times, and Ye Shikai finally snapped back to reality, realizing that the person before him was no longer Su Qingyu.

"Sorry, I seem to be a bit tired." Ye Shikai casually found an excuse, gently pushed Chen Yuxin away, and sat back on the sofa. This move made Chen Yuxin somewhat displeased, and she sat beside Ye Shikai.

"You were the one who told them, right?" Ye Shikai slightly closed his eyes; the "matter" he mentioned was something the two of them understood. If not for Chen Yuxin, how would the Su Family know about this?

"Kai, isn't it true? Besides, today the Moon God wanted to kill me, so I..." Chen Yuxin felt a little guilty; of course, she wanted Su Qingyu to know about this matter as soon as possible, she had been waiting for a long time, and today's assassination incident was a catalyst.

"We agreed that I would be the one to tell." Ye Shikai said coldly, then sighed.

"I'm sorry, Kai, I..."

"Stop, don't say anymore, listen to me and go back to your room to recover, I have some things to do."

"Wait a moment." Chen Yuxin suddenly grabbed Ye Shikai's arm, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll tell you when I return."

"Kai, I am your wife now, are you going to hide something from me?" Chen Yuxin had no intention of letting Ye Shikai leave, standing upright to block his way.

"I am feeling bad right now, we'll talk when I get back, okay?" Ye Shikai said, then left directly, ignoring Chen Yuxin's obstruction, leaving the Chen family mansion. Chen Yuxin was left with a somber and displeased expression. She had carefully applied her makeup, just to show Ye Shikai her most beautiful side, however... his attitude struck a huge contrast, which inevitably left her disappointed. But, when she thought of the forthcoming marriage, she felt a sense of relief, all the waiting was going to be rewarded, yet she wondered whether there would be any reward in matters of love.

"Ruoya."

"Family Head, do you have any orders?"

"How is her situation? So much time has passed, why hasn't there been any result?" Chen Yuxin's expression changed instantly; outwardly, she maintained a cold and alluring demeanor.

"Ever since the incident last time, they've strengthened their defenses, and... we've lost contact with Tang Yun."

"What." Chen Yuxin's voice dropped low, revealing some killing intent. Chen Ruoya shuddered; this Family Head was always ruthless and merciless about such matters—when seizing the Chen Family Head position, she never spared her kin. Chen Ruoya had seen 'big scenes,' but Chen Yuxin was indeed unmatched compared to them.

"Family Head, please don't be angry, I've already instructed them to handle it."

"I want results, make it quick."

"Yes, I will follow your orders."

..................…

Sitting in a café in the city center, Ye Shikai felt very down. The person he loved most seemed to disappear overnight; he had never felt so low, as if the city had no place for him to belong, much like the strangeness six months ago.

"Uncle, here you are." At this moment, Han Ruoyao's voice came from behind; Ye Shikai turned around and saw, unsurprisingly, that it was the little girl.

"Uncle, I know you're very upset right now, so I came especially to comfort you." Han Ruoyao knew the ins and outs from Su Ziqing, but unlike Su Ziqing, Han Ruoyao wasn't driven by pure emotion; she thought deeper when questioning matters, so upon hearing the news of Ye Shikai's infidelity, she did not, like Su Ziqing, angrily curse a scumbag under the covers, but instead intended to clarify the situation.

Crucially, she seemed to have the ability to see through a person's character at a glance. In other words, she understood Ye Shikai; if he were a man captivated by beauty, with his wealth and status, he could have as many willing to attach themselves to him as he wanted. If he couldn't control his desires, then that too seemed impossible.

"Thank you, Yaoyao."

"Uncle, what on earth happened to you? Tell me about it."

Ye Shikai explained everything, having suppressed the emotions for so long, he indeed needed someone to confide in, and Han Ruoyao's willingness to listen moved him greatly.

"So that's what happened. To my mind, Uncle is quite responsible, otherwise you wouldn't divorce to give Chen Yuxin a status." Han Ruoyao mused.

"Different stance, inevitably, I still made a mistake." Ye Shikai sighed.

"Uncle, are you going to marry Chen Yuxin?"

"I suppose so, after all... I should give her a status, give the child a father, don't you think?"

"Uncle, but such a marriage won't be happy, and I think Chen Yuxin doesn't have Qingyu's kind heart; be careful around her."

"You don't understand her, back when we were at school, she wouldn't even kill a bug." Ye Shikai seemed to half-joke while reminiscing.

"So, you two really were childhood sweethearts in love." After hearing this, Han Ruoyao showed a sweet smile as if she had watched a youthful school romance drama.

"Love, perhaps back then we didn't understand what love was." Ye Shikai lamented, his mood heavy again, remembering that the love back then was just impulsive passion, without responsibilities and duties.

"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I'll comfort Qingqing. Actually, she was only angry at first; once her mood stabilized, she was much better, going back to attending her classes normally." Han Ruoyao said with a smile, aware that Ye Shikai doted on this little sister-in-law the most. This incident had caused quite a stir, so Su Ziqing's emotions were significant too, but once her anger subsided, she'd understand it.
