Ye Sichen laughed but didn’t answer Mi Ke’er.
Xia Nuan lowered her head, thinking of Ye Enchen’s words.
According to Ye Enchen, Ye Sichen just treated her like a delivery machine and did not want to marry her at all…
She wouldn’t believe Ye Enchen.
Xia Nuan forced herself not to think of that. She chatted with Mi Ke’er for a while and asked the relationship between Mi Ke’er and Lacy. But Mi Ke’er either avoided the topic or deliberately changed the subject.
After Mi Ke’er left, Ye Sichen wearing an apron came out of the kitchen. He put the steaming soup, which was specially made for Xia Nuan, on the table. Then he fed a spoonful of soup to her, but Xia Nuan took the spoon from his hand, “I can do it by myself”.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. So, can I feed you to make my apology?” Ye Sichen looked at Xia Nuan and said softly.
Xia Nuan smiled shyly, “Maybe you should control yourself. Don’t feed me. Otherwise, others will think I’m delicate.”
“I like you to be delicate.” Ye Sichen kissed her.
Smelling the flavor of the soup, the children came in and gathered.
Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng sat down around Xia Nuan, except Weiwei.
“Dad, what delicious food did you secretly make for mom?”
Wuyou asked Ye Sichen with a smile.
“I didn’t make it secretly, and it’s not only for mom, but also for all of you.” Then Ye Sichen asked the servant to scoop out the soup for them from the kitchen. They sat around the dining table and ate happily.
Weiwei was a little shy. She took the bowl and said to Ye Sichen, “I want dad to feed me.”
Ye Sichen saw her taking the bowl difficultly, and he was afraid that the soup would be spilt. So, he took the bowl and fed it to her.
Xia Nuan held Ansheng and fed him soup.
Weiwei only wanted to stay with Ye Sichen, just like before. As soon as Xia Nuan wanted to be close to her, she would refuse and cry. All in all, she had been following him. Xia Nuan also knew that Weiwei had been abused by her father, and she lived in the shadow of him. So, Xia Nuan had been trying to care about her.
However, Weiwei had her own father and family, so she couldn’t stay here all the time. After all, Ye Sichen didn’t deal with any formalities of adoption.
Xia Nuan thought that she should find a way to provide a home for Weiwei.
“What are you gonna do with Weiwei?” Xia Nuan asked him.
Ye Sichen thought about it, “I want to adopt her, but I’m negotiating with her father. It takes time.”
Xia Nuan frowned, “Weiwei’s father is a bully, and her mother abandoned her irresponsibly, so she cannot go back. We need to adopt her as soon as possible. I’m afraid her father will continue to do bad things.”
Ye Sichen nodded, “You are right. I’ll finish it soon.”
He took Xia Nuan to the bedroom to rest. The children were noisy, so he took them out.
Xia Nuan lay on the bed and thought a lot.
Did they have to remain this relationship all the time in Ye’s Family? She wanted to leave, but Ye Sichen would definitely forbid her to do so. He was very stubborn. No one could change his mind.
The phone rang, interrupting Xia Nuan’s thoughts. It was from her mother Zeng Guihua. She reluctantly answered the phone.
“Mom, what’s up?”
“Nuan, it will be the 15th anniversary of your father’s death in a few days. Will you go back to sweep the tomb?” She asked.
Xia Nuan remembered this, “I’ll go back.”
It seemed that she must go back to Aoshi City first, and then took a cruise to Zhongshan City.
She went downstairs to look for Ye Sichen. Bill said Ye Sichen had left. She called him up, but he didn’t answer.
Xia Nuan bathed the children in the evening. When they fell asleep, she sat on the sofa and looked through the glossy magazine, waiting for Ye Sichen.
After eleven o’clock, Ye Sichen came back.
Xia Nuan moved towards him, but found that Ye Sichen seemed exhausted. She took the coat from his hand and asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll make some snacks for you.”
Ye Sichen sat on the sofa, holding his forehead, “I’m fine. Just go to sleep.”
Xia Nuan couldn’t help asking, “Any trouble?”
They looked at each other, “Well, I’ll solve it.” Ye Sichen said.
She nodded, “If so, you have to deal with it as soon as possible. Once you tried but it didn’t work. Then you have to accept it.”
Ye Sichen kept silent, thinking of another thing.
“I want to go back to Zhongshan City to sweep my father’s tomb. It will be his death anniversary in a few days.” Xia Nuan said.
She thought Ye Sichen would refuse.
Even if he didn’t refuse, he would come with her.
“Well, you can go. I’ll send someone to protect you.” Ye Sichen clapped her shoulder, “It’s late. Time to bed.”
Xia Nuan felt unexpected, but the good thing was he promised, “It must be hard for you to take care of the children for several days.”
“They are here with me. Don’t worry.”
The next day, Xia Nuan woke up and didn’t see Ye Sichen. But she got no time to think about his whereabouts. She made breakfast for the children and then went to the airport.
Ye Sichen prepared everything for Xia Nuan, and sent several assistants to protect her.
Fearing that the children would be entangled with Xia Nuan, the servants accompanied Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng. Although Xia Nuan got on the car smoothly, she had a bad feeling somehow.
When passing the turning, Xia Nuan saw a familiar car parking there. Looking carefully, she found that’s Ye Sichen’s car.
For a distance, she looked over there and found a man sitting with a woman inside the car. Then she saw the woman lying in the arms of a man dressed in black, with whiskers and sunglasses.
He looked like Ye Sichen.
She became more and more anxious.
The deep anxiety lasted until she returned to Aoshi City. She went back to the company and asked about the business. Lan reported to her truthfully.
“Miss Xia, during your absence, Mr. Ye managed the company well and expanded the influence of the brand. So, the company has kept its position at the top of other brands. Shangzhuang is also lagged behind our company.” Lan looked at Xia Nuan enviously, “Miss Xia, you are very lucky to work with Ye Sichen. But your relationship is still uncertain. Well, when will you get married?”
Xia Nuan felt a little bit sad. She said with a slight glimpse, “Stop that.”
Lan knew that Xia Nuan and Ye Enchen were still in their marriage, so it was not the right moment for her to say something like that. Therefore, she decided to hold her tongue.
Ye Sichen asked a sophisticated person who was good at company management to help Xia Nuan. So, the company operated as usual without Xia Nuan.
It was no doubt that Ye Sichen had always been so careful and considerate. Thinking about this, Xia Nuan felt a little better. After all, the truth was she and Ye Enchen were still connected by marriage, which meant, whomever Ye Sichen was seeing was none of her business.
In the villa, Xia Nuan met Zeng Guihua.
Xia Yan was also there.
Xia Nuan had kept an eye on Xia Yan since last time she tricked her. So, this time she came here with two safeguards in case Xia Yan would something bad to her.
However, Xia Yan was about to leave.
She was on her way out when Xia Nuan came.
“Just relax, it won’t happen again. Ye Enchen has called me to stay with him. It seems you are not a good wife.” Xia Yan said and looked at Xia Nuan up and down, as if she was showing off.
Xia Nuan just ignored her.
After Xia Yan left, Zeng Guihua and Xia Nuan went back to Zhongshan City, followed with the entourages sent by Ye Sichen.
Xia Nuan swept her father’s tomb and stayed in Zhongshan City with Zeng Guihua for one night. Xia Nuan was very famous, so her return had attracted many fans.
After she donated to Zhongshan City, she got more attention and admiration from the locals. Even the local TV station wanted to interview her, but she turned it down to keep low-profile.
Xia Nuan went to the clinic which once owned by Song Kuncheng. To her surprise, the clinic was still open and there were patients.
She thought the doctor inside might have changed.
Xia Nuan wondered what’s going on with Song Kuncheng in Country S. She thought she’d visit him when she was available.
“Miss, are you here to see the doctor?” A gentle sound flew into Xia Nuan’s ears with a feeling of familiarity.
Xia Nuan got a little confused and turned around, only found Song Kuncheng standing behind in a white uniform.
“Kun?” Xia Nuan was very surprised.
Song Kuncheng was so excited that he stepped forward and stared at Xia Nuan, “Oh my god! It’s you, Xia Nuan. When did you come back? Am I dreaming?”
Xia Nuan nodded and said firmly, “Of course it’s me. But why are you here? I thought you were in Country S.”
“I escaped. I guess you know that although I was set free, they banned me from leaving Country S. But then there was a war, so I took that chance and left. Here I am, a doctor again. I’m not like you. You have fought your way out to the top.”
He smiled bitterly.
Xia Nuan felt guilty.
She knew clearly why Song Kuncheng was limited to Country S. Because Ye Sichen didn’t want her to keep in touch with Song Kuncheng.
Xia Nuan came back into the clinic. The patients recognized her at once and asked for her signature, even Ye Sichen’s, too.
After Xia Nuan dealt with the patients, Song Kuncheng offered her a glass of water and talked about her life. Of course, Ye Sichen was mentioned in their conversation.
Xia Nuan only said she and Ye Sichen were just business partners and didn’t say anything about their romantic relationship. Song Kuncheng didn’t continue the topic, either.
Song Kuncheng was asked if he got married. He took a sip of tea and said he was going to be single for his whole life.
“You are a good man. You deserve a better girl.” Xia Nuan encouraged him.
Song Kuncheng just smiled, “I hope so.”
Xia Nuan put down the cup and prepared to leave, but he didn’t want her to go. She put a wad of cash in a drawer when Song Kuncheng didn’t notice.
No sooner had she reached the door than she felt dizzy.
