When Qin Zichuan returned from his mission, he submitted his divorce application immediately before going home.

"Big brother, you're back?" Qin Zishuang felt relieved to see Qin Zichuan return.

"Okay, let's go into the study to talk." Qin Zichuan said and walked into the study first, with Qin Zishuang following behind.

The two sat down in the study.

"The plan failed; we didn't manage to kill either of them." Qin Zishuang was somewhat exasperated.

"It's alright. We can still ruin their reputation in a little over a month. Has anyone found out that it was you who did it?" Qin Zichuan wasn't surprised that the plan had failed, as long as no one found out.

"No, I didn't show myself. I had someone follow me, and they cleaned up the mess." Qin Zishuang replied.

"Alright, what about the Luo family?"

Upon hearing about the Luo family, Qin Zishuang immediately smiled. "The matter concerning their family has been clarified, the exoneration document has been issued, and they can return to the city at any time."

"Fine, so Ling Yunmo still has no feelings for you?"

Qin Zichuan picked up a cigarette from the table and smelled it. His face lacked its usual gentle and approachable demeanor; instead, a hint of gloom lingered in his eyes.

"No, brother, Nan Zhu is back. I don't want to pursue Ling Yunmo." Qin Zishuang's eyes were pleading.

Luo Nanzhu is Luo Qingdai's younger brother. He is the same age as Qin Zishuang, and the two have been classmates since childhood.

During his previous assignment to the countryside, Qin Zishuang visited the place where he had been sent.

"Okay." Qin Zichuan didn't insist; he could arrange for someone else to go.

Qin Zichuan originally wanted his younger sister to marry into the family so that even after Ling Yunmo died, there would still be some affection between them.

Who knew that after losing his lover from his previous life, Ling Yunmo also didn't fall in love with Qin Zishuang, so he had to find someone else.

Qin Zishuang was overjoyed to hear that her brother had agreed; she could marry her brother Nanzhu.

"Do one more thing for me," Qin Zichuan whispered to his sister, Qin Zishuang.

Qin Zishuang listened carefully.

These past few days, Ye Zhaoyu, Ye Fei, and Shen Qingyang have all taken leave from school and haven't gone to class. They've been spending all their time with Ye Lingge.

We go shopping together during the day and sleep and chat together at night.

Nian Mufeng discovered some new information and came to find Ye Zhaoyu.

The gate opened, and the stunningly beautiful Ye Lingge was immediately seen in the courtyard.

Thud.

The things he was carrying suddenly fell to the ground.

He slapped himself hard with his right hand, giving himself a really loud slap.

"Daughter, I saw your mother."

Nian Mufeng was stunned when the person he had been searching for for so long suddenly appeared in front of him, and his mind went blank.

“That’s my mom, you’re not mistaken.” Ye Zhaoyu picked up her things and told Ye Fei and Shen Qingyang to leave, giving the two of them some space.

Eli noticed something between the two and didn't want to leave, but was dragged away by Shen Qingyang and Ye Fei.

"When did you get back?" Nian Mufeng's voice was a little hoarse.

"A few days ago," Ye Lingge said to Nian Mufeng, suddenly unsure of what to say.

They pretended to be husband and wife for a year for intelligence purposes. They got together by accident and had Ye Zhaoyu. They started dating as soon as they fell in love, and they haven't met in person until now.

That little bit of love is long gone.

"You've worked hard all these years." Nian Mufeng didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time to finally say it.

Ye Lingge knew what Nian Mufeng meant.

"Xiaoyuer is also my daughter, so I can't say whether it's hard or not."

Ye Lingge smiled when she thought of Ye Zhaoyu, and the atmosphere between the two didn't seem so awkward anymore.

Ye Lingge gestured for Nian Mufeng to sit down.

"Sit down. Come to think of it, we were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side."

"Yes, I didn't expect it would be so long since we last met."

Both seemed to recall the days when they fought side by side.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Before Ye Lingge could speak, she asked, "Did you come here for something?"

They didn't ask what mission Mu Feng did after that, nor did they ask how he had been doing over the past few years. That was all in the past, including their feelings that hadn't yet matured.

Nian Mufeng paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Regarding Xiaoyuer's matter, the investigation into Qin Zichuan has come through. Ling Yunjue was too busy, so he asked me to deliver it."

Ling Yunjue is capable; he knows how to find a way to get him to meet Ye Lingge.

"Oh, you guys hurry up and come out." Ye Lingge knew they were eavesdropping.

Seeing that there was no show to watch, Ye Zhaoyu had no choice but to come out.

Nian Mufeng gave the information he had gathered to Ye Zhaoyu. Ye Zhaoyu put the things away, not in a hurry to deal with them, as spending time with her mother was the most important thing.

She has five days left before she leaves.

"Comrade Nian, please stay for dinner," Ye Zhaoyu asked Nian Mufeng.

"Don't call him Comrade Nian. He's your father. Be polite."

Ye Lingge was not satisfied with this form of address, so she gently tapped Ye Zhaoyu's forehead and corrected her.

“I know, Dad,” Ye Zhaoyu said formally.

"Sigh, as expected, your mother can still control you. Let's eat. Shall I go buy groceries?" Nian Mufeng stayed for dinner.

"Let's go together! I can finally go shopping hand in hand with my parents!" Ye Zhaoyu encouraged everyone to go together.

“Okay, since we have nothing else to do, let’s go together.” Ye Lingge had no objections.

She came back just to spend time with her daughter, and she does whatever her daughter wants to do, and goes wherever her daughter wants to go.

"I won't go, I'll stay..." Ye Fei hesitated for a moment, preparing to give Ye Zhaoyu and her family of three some space.

"No way, you're my sister, we're family. It's no fun if you don't go." Ye Zhaoyu interrupted Ye Fei before he could finish speaking.

“Yes, the whole family goes out together.” Ye Lingge knew that Ye Fei was treating her like an outsider again and invited her to come along.

Ye Fei didn't hesitate any longer and went out with everyone.

On the way, Nian Mufeng pulled Ye Zhaoyu a few steps behind and asked, "Daughter, does your mother have someone she likes right now?"

"What, you want to pursue my mom?" Ye Zhaoyu teased.

"What do you mean by chasing me? I'm your dad, and your mom and I are a couple." Nian Mufeng blushed at the teasing.

"That's not necessarily true. My mom is definitely my mom, but my dad can be anyone." Ye Zhaoyu didn't care about her mother's love affairs. Who she liked and who she wanted to be with was her choice.

"What are you saying? What do you mean your dad can be anyone? You only have one dad, and that's me."

For the first time, Nian Mufeng felt that this daughter was not considerate at all; in fact, she was more like a thorn in his side.

"You can work hard. You only have one biological father, but you can have countless fathers. I'm all grown up now, I don't mind." After saying that, Ye Zhaoyu made a face and ran away quickly.

She wouldn't try to matchmake people. If they're meant to be, they'll naturally be together. If they're not, forcing them to be together won't bring happiness. Besides, she's already 24, not at an age where she needs someone to take care of her.

In short, parents have their own lives.

Nian Mufeng realized that Ye Zhaoyu genuinely didn't want to play matchmaker.

I feel a bit helpless.

He hadn't liked anyone for so many years, focusing solely on his missions. It wasn't until he saw Ye Lingge again that he felt a little flutter in his heart.
