"It will only benefit you if you interact more with Madam Han, not harm you."

As the mistress of the Su family, Wang Qing always made friends with a purpose. In her opinion, whether her daughter and Mrs. Han from Zeus International were real friends or just for show, it would always be good for them to spend more time together.

Su Huanyan nodded and followed her mother's words: "That's fine."

Cecilio suddenly looked at Su Huanyan and said to her in Italian, "Do you want to go to the dragon boat race tomorrow? Cheng Yanmo has to work tomorrow, I can accompany you."

Su Huanyan smiled faintly and shook her head. "Forget it." She said to Cecilio in Italian, "Qingjia has said recently that she is tired of playing around and wants to go back to Rome. Leo, when are you going to take Qingjia back to Rome?"

She very gently ordered them to leave.

But Cecilio was as thick-skinned as a corner of a city wall. Without a second thought, he said, "Qingjia is still young. Before she starts formal school, she should spend more time with you. Once she starts school, the time she can spend back home will be very limited."

"Are you sure you won't stay with her for a few more days?"

Cecilio found Su Huanyan's weakness.

Su Huanyan lowered her head and drank her tea without saying anything.

Wang Qing didn't understand Italian, and the conversation between Cecilio and Su Huanyan sounded like a mystery to her. Seeing Cheng Yanmo's expression normal, Wang Qing didn't think much of it.

Cheng Yanmo was not proficient in Italian, but he could understand a few sentences.

He probably understood that Su Huanyan was trying to get Cecilio to leave, and Cecilio was looking for excuses to stay. After Wang Qing finished her meal and went upstairs with the gift she brought for her grandson, Cheng Yanmo pulled Su Huanyan aside and asked her, "When is Cecilio leaving?"

Su Huanyan: "I don't know."

"Tsk, how shameless."

"Who says it isn't?"

Cheng Yanmo stuffed the kiwi into Su Huanyan's arms and said, "Eat it, don't waste it."

Su Huanyan was just about to say that she was full when she heard Cheng Yanmo say, "Your mother ate the fruit that my love rival cut for her. Are you sure you don't want to eat the kiwi fruit I peeled for your mother? Comfort my hurt little darling?"

Su Huanyan complained while holding the plate, "Yanmo, you know, when I first saw you in my teens, you were eighteen and a bit rebellious. Later, when you took over the Chuandong Group, you became more calm and spoke less and less."

"When I met you again when I was twenty, you gave me the impression of a noble young master who was high and mighty and could not be touched. But now..." Su Huanyan looked at Cheng Yanmo with an indescribable expression. She said, "After spending so long together, I finally see your true nature."

"What is my true nature?" Cheng Yanmo was a little curious.

Su Huanyan: "It's a bit embarrassing."

Cheng Yanmo leaned against the refrigerator. He took off his glasses and rubbed his sore and swollen eyes.

When Cheng Yanmo was young and full of vigor, his eyes always looked at people with a sharp gleam, so his grandmother made him wear glasses. The lenses were very thick, which softened his aggressive gaze.

After Cheng Yanmo took off his disguised glasses, his whole person became sharp.

He sighed wearily before speaking, "Huanyan, I had to manage the Chuandong Group at a very young age. My father was unpromising, and my brother was a worthless person. My grandfather, who had the highest hopes for me and nurtured me the most, passed away many years ago. Now, even my grandmother, the only one who loved me and asked if I was hungry or tired, has passed away. I can only hide my true self."

Cheng Yanmo hid that slightly naughty, playful, and childish guy, and only dared to show him when no one was around.

Outside, he always wears a wolf's skin.

"Although there's no love between us, we've been husband and wife for two years and almost slept together. You're my family, someone I love like a younger sister. I don't want to pretend in front of you anymore."

Cheng Yanmo rarely said such heartfelt words to Su Huanyan.

Su Huanyan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Yanmo, do you still feel guilty towards me?" Su Huanyan had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Yanmo said, "How can I not be ashamed of you? Your brother loved you the most when he was alive. After he knew you were pregnant out of wedlock, he joked with me on the phone."

"An Zhi said: Yanmo, you don't have a wife anyway, and my sister is pretty, do you want to marry her? Although I'm reluctant to give my sister to you, to be honest, you're the only one I trust in this world."

Cheng Yanmo smiled bitterly. He looked up and his voice sounded choked. "Huanyan, if I hadn't suddenly wanted to go out to sea, your brother wouldn't have died."

"An Zhi was so young, I harmed him."

If he hadn't gone out to sea that day, Su Anzhi wouldn't have died. It was his playfulness that killed his brother.

Cheng Yanmo has only two regrets in his life. The first is that he failed to teach his younger brother well, leading him astray and becoming a playboy. The second is that three years ago, out of playfulness, he insisted that Su Anzhi accompany him on a fishing trip.

After Su Anzhi's death, Cheng Yanmo was very sad. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart unless he did something for Su Anzhi.

Back then, Su Huanyan's life wasn't easy either. She gave birth to Su Qingjia in secret. She didn't even dare tell Wang Qing about Su Qingjia's existence. Su Qingjia stayed with Luo Cheng in Hoh Xil, where living conditions weren't as good as in big cities, and neither medical care nor academics were suitable for a child.

At that time, Mu Qiu happened to enter Yuezhao Temple to become a nun, completely severing her marriage ties with Cheng Yanmo. Cheng Yanmo had no desires or expectations in his heart and had no expectations of getting married.
