Ye Xiaomeng had been shuttling between the headquarters and the branch office recently, tirelessly back and forth.

“Xiaomeng, can your body handle this? Working so hard every day, you seem like a man. It worries me,” He Ming’s tone sounded like that of a nagging spouse. He hadn’t seen Ye Xiaomeng in quite a while, and today was a rare opportunity to meet.

“I’m fine. I find it quite fulfilling. I used to think that having a man’s love meant I didn’t need to work so hard. But I was wrong,” Ye Xiaomeng spoke thoughtfully.

“Xiaomeng, let me take care of you,” He Ming held her hand, saying earnestly.

“He Ming, you really don’t need to have any psychological burden. That night was an accident, and you don’t need to take responsibility for me. And you know what? I almost got married once, and I even had a miscarriage. I have a painful past,” as she spoke, tears started flowing from Ye Xiaomeng’s eyes.

“Xiaomeng, you know I don’t mind…” He Ming hastily said.

“But I do,” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t overcome the fear in her heart.

“I won’t pressure you, but you can’t avoid me either. Let’s go with the flow,” He Ming’s eyes seemed like they could shed tears.

Ye Xiaomeng glanced at him and didn’t say anything more.

The next day, Ye Xiaomeng arrived carrying bags big and small to visit Joy.

“Sweetie, do you miss your godmother?” Ye Xiaomeng pretended to speak in a child’s voice.

“Yes,” Joy happily hugged her.

“You love children so much. It’s time for you to have one of your own,” Shu Pan felt that it had been a long time, and it was time to face it.

“Spare me, please. I don’t even have a partner. This time coming back home is just to be tortured by my parents. They’ve tried everything, from crying to throwing tantrums. Honestly, I’m quite content now,” Ye Xiaomeng said nonchalantly.

“You, I don’t know how to talk to you,” Shu Pan looked at her, shaking her head helplessly.

“Girl, do you know? Su Yuan got divorced, and I heard it was quite a scandal. I also heard that it affected his career, and he had to go abroad,” Ye Xiaomeng spoke mysteriously.

“Oh, that’s their business. Marriage requires effort from both people. Sigh!” Shu Pan sighed. She had been sending money to him every month, and she never thought it had been so much.

“I’m afraid you might soften up. Remember, don’t trust any remorseful man,” Ye Xiaomeng had turned into something of a love expert.

“You take care of yourself, and quickly find me a brother-in-law.” “Enough, you bossy lady.” Ye Xiaomeng took Joy and left the room, ignoring

Shu Pan.

Shu Pan watched them close the door, and she finally came back to her senses. In her mind, she kept replaying what Gu Shaoting had said on the phone last night.

He had told her, “Shu Pan, I’ve already informed Tong Fei about our divorce. Let’s be together for Joy’s sake and give her a complete family.”

“Gu Shaoting, have you forgotten that my dad is your enemy?” Shu Pan brought it up deliberately, as it had been the reason for their divorce.

“I will try to slowly forget.”

Shu Pan heard his words and paused for a moment.

“Gu Shaoting, I don’t want to sacrifice myself anymore. Joy is still young, and it’s better for her to be with me. When she grows up, she can choose for herself whom she wants to be with,” Shu Pan firmly rejected.

She couldn’t forget the hardships of these past few years and, more importantly, the ruthless determination he had shown when he wanted the divorce.

She had endured the most difficult times and was heading in a better direction. She didn’t want any more entanglements with him..
