"Was I wrong?"
Xie Yuyan pressed on, watching the despondent Shen Mengli. She didn’t care about Shen Mengli’s emotions—her only goal was to break her resolve and make her give up her obsession with Ye Feng.
Of course, Xie Yuyan would keep her promise: she’d give Shen Mengli a substantial sum of money, enough to ensure she lived comfortably.
"Ye Feng is already exhausted. He even has to run around taking care of you. If you truly want what’s best for him, I advise you to leave him. There’s no happy ending between the two of you."
"Me... and Xiao Feng... no happy ending..."
At these words, Shen Mengli finally lost the last bit of strength holding her together. She lowered her head, covering her face with her hands as quiet sobs escaped her lips.
"Wah... wah... I’m sorry, Xiao Feng... I’m so sorry... I’ve been nothing but a burden to you all this time..."
"......"
Seeing Shen Mengli like this, Xie Yuyan said nothing more. She took a card from her pocket and placed it on Shen Mengli’s wheelchair.
"There’s enough money in here to buy any medical equipment you need, plus enough to live on. Whether you stay here or move elsewhere is up to you. I just hope you’ll heed my words today. I don’t want to make things any uglier than they already are."
"......"
Without waiting for a response, Xie Yuyan turned and left. She had done all she needed to. Whatever Shen Mengli chose next was no longer her concern. Judging by that look of utter despair, the outcome was already decided.
Then, like a passing breeze, Xie Yuyan vanished from the welfare home as if nothing had happened.
Time slipped by unnoticed until Shen Mengli slowly lifted her head, her gaze fixed on the garden. Eventually, she wheeled herself to the nearest flowerpot and reached out.
"Rustle, rustle..."
As she brushed aside the leaves, a phone lay hidden in the grass. Shen Mengli picked it up, and a strange smile curled her lips as she watched the video playing on the screen.
"Just as the vision predicted—Xie Yuyan would come here. If Xiao Feng were to see this footage, her standing in his heart would crumble instantly. But the real question is... when should I reveal this recording to maximize its impact?"
As she murmured to herself, Shen Mengli glanced at the card Xie Yuyan had left beside her. She tucked it away carefully before silently wheeling herself back to her bedroom.
This is getting more and more interesting, Xie Yuyan. You brought this upon yourself. I’ll make you vomit out every last drop of love you have for Xiao Feng!
......
"Mmm..."
A faint movement stirred Ye Feng from his sleep. Blinking groggily, he found Xie Yuyan nestled against his chest, her cheek rubbing affectionately against him. He didn’t think much of it—this kind of intimacy was nothing new between them.
With a soft sigh, he wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes again, drifting back to sleep.
Ye Feng... so warm...
Xie Yuyan’s bright eyes fluttered open, gazing lovingly at him. His embrace filled her with satisfaction—proof that she held an irreplaceable place in his heart. Visions of their future together danced in her mind.
How wonderful... No worldly conflicts, no scheming outsiders coveting my Ye Feng. Just living happily like this might be the most beautiful time of all.
With that thought, she closed her eyes again, savoring the warmth of their shared slumber.
Unbeknownst to her, beneath the calm surface of the ocean, turbulent undercurrents were already swirling.
......
"Good morning, Ye Feng~"
The sound of Xie Yuyan’s voice roused him early the next day.
When he opened his eyes, he found her propped up on one elbow, staring at him intently. Ye Feng glanced out the window, then flopped back onto the bed.
"Yuyan? Not going back to sleep? It’s still barely dawn."
"No need. Nothing makes me happier than waking up to see you."
"You and your sweet talk."
Though he’d planned to sleep in, the sight of Xie Yuyan’s alluring expression banished any drowsiness.
Their relationship had progressed at an almost surreal pace. Looking back now, even Ye Feng found it hard to believe.
"Ye Feng? Why are you staring at me like that? Could it be~?"
"Cough! Xie Yuyan, that’s not what I meant! I was just thinking about how far we’ve come and how incredible it all feels."
"Yeah... incredible..."
For some reason, Xie Yuyan seemed lost in thought. She burrowed under the covers, pressing her face against his chest.
"Ye Feng... I love you... I love you so much..."
"Yuyan."
He ran his fingers gently through her hair, and she responded like a pampered kitten, purring softly under his touch.
"Hey... at least try not to make those weird noises."
Despite his words, his hand never stopped stroking.
"It’s all because of you, and you know it. Besides, you’re clearly enjoying yourself."
"Cough... I’m just following my heart. Can’t fight nature."
"Oh?"
She drew out the word teasingly, then lifted her head, her fair neck stretching like polished jade. Her lips, ripe as cherries, hovered temptingly close.
"Then why not indulge your heart a little more? Who knows what wonders might happen~?"
"Gulp..."
Ye Feng’s throat tightened. Xie Yuyan’s allure had him ensnared, pulling him in like a moth to flame.
"Let’s make this morning unforgettable, darling~"
"Yuyan..."
All hesitation vanished from his mind as he leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss.
"Mmm~"
Feeling the depth of his affection, Xie Yuyan closed her eyes in triumph. His rare initiative was proof—he was finally embracing her completely.
Everything was falling perfectly into place.

He risked his life to save a young girl from barbarians, but was accused of arriving too late and branded the real murderer. He held a knife to a military officer's neck, demanding the troop tally, but the officer only cared about questioning his wife: "Do you not love me anymore? All these years of affection and time together, they were all a mistake, a mistake!"

When that happens, you must give me half of your troops and soldiers!" Even the Empress was a severe love-struck fool, who ordered the execution of 70,000 elite troops simply because they stood in the way of her romance. Ren Tianye was speechless. He was done.
