The other side.

After escorting Ye Mingmei and her daughter to the designated guest room, the assistant quickly returned to Diwu Zexuan’s office to report back.

"Master, aren’t you afraid that letting Miss Ye come over will lead to her discovering that Mr. Yu isn’t dead?" The assistant, standing respectfully in front of Diwu Zexuan, asked in puzzlement.

Their original intention was only to let Yu Xiuzhun meet his biological daughter.

However, Diwu Zexuan temporarily agreed to let Ye Mingmei come along.

Although the experimental building is large, there is no guarantee that the two of them won’t run into each other in the same space.

What’s more, Yu Xiuzhun has always wanted to meet the mother and daughter. If he learns that Ye Mingmei is also here, I’m afraid nothing will stop him!

"Do you think Yu Xiuzhun now wants to see Ye Mingmei?"

Diwu Zexuan’s office chair slowly turned around, facing the assistant, with the bewitching eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Hasn’t Mr. Yu... always wanted to see Miss Ye?" The assistant frowned in confusion.

"That was before, just after he woke up, he wanted to meet the person he couldn’t let go of. But now, his body is recovering, and he will soon be able to stand again. Do you think he is willing to let Ye Mingmei see him in such a pathetic state where he can’t even speak?"

Diwu Zexuan’s lips curled into a wicked smile.

He’s a man and understands men like Yu Xiuzhun, who are proud. At this moment, now that he realizes he could become a burden to Ye Mingmei, he wouldn’t want her to see him in such an unseemly condition.

"Even if Mr. Yu doesn’t want to meet, what if Miss Ye discovers..."

The assistant’s concern was cut off by a fierce glare from Diwu Zexuan.

"If you can’t even keep an eye on a woman, I’ll chop you up and soak you in formalin as specimens!"

"..."

The assistant shuddered violently, standing to the side respectfully, not daring to utter another word.

It seems to be prudent to make some preparations just in case.

-

Night, slightly cool.

The evening breeze gently brushed past the windowsill, with the sunset completely sinking below the horizon, and the sky gradually twinkling with stars.

The starry sky was resplendent, like diamonds hung upon the night canvas.

Ye Mingmei cradled Meimei, sitting on the tatami on the balcony, telling her a fairy tale.

As the story went on, Meimei hadn’t fallen asleep, but Ye Mingmei began to feel drowsy.

She let out a delicate yawn and, even before realizing it, drifted off to sleep on the tatami.

"Click—"

The room’s door suddenly swung open from the outside.

Diwu Zexuan twirled the keychain with his fingers, the room key spinning around them with a hint of mischief.

His gaze fell on Ye Mingmei, who had fallen asleep on the balcony, causing his eyes to flicker slightly as he looked at the assistant beside him.

The assistant understood, immediately stepping forward to help Ye Mingmei lie down properly, and took a blanket to cover her.

They had laced the meals prepared for Ye Mingmei with something to ensure she slept well.

By the time she woke up, many things would have been sorted out.

"Mr. Diwu!"

Meimei’s small body curled up on the tatami. Upon seeing Diwu Zexuan enter, her big eyes instantly lit up!

Without a second thought, she rushed toward Diwu Zexuan.

"Since you’ve seen Mr. Diwu here, do you know what we’re going to do soon?" Diwu Zexuan reached out, picked up the little girl, and brushed his fingers over her nose.

"See Daddy!" Meimei’s eyes curved with a smile, her beautiful large eyes full of anticipation.
