“You still know that I invested because of you,” Chi Baiyi’s smile carried a hint of mockery. “I thought you would pretend not to know.”

Qin Yuanyao felt very guilty, and her expression became even more embarrassed.

She did consider whether or not to pretend she didn't know.

Who would have thought that she would blurt it out without even realizing it?

"Don't worry, I'd be willing to lose money for you," Chi Baiyi said slowly.

The blush on Qin Yuanyao's face spread all the way to her ears.

Chi Baiyi usually appears composed and aloof, but unexpectedly, he's quite the smooth talker when it comes to sweet nothings, constantly stirring her heart.

Chi Cheese sat between the two of them, looked at her mother, and then glanced at her father.

Although she didn't quite understand some of what they were saying, she could tell that her parents' relationship seemed to be getting better and better.

“Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight too,” Chi Nao said.

Qin Yuanyao was slightly taken aback: "Where will you sleep with me?"

She had no intention of going to Chi Baiyi's place again tonight.

She can't go to the Imperial Water Pavilion every day! After all, it's not proper or legitimate.

“I’ll sleep wherever Mom sleeps,” Chi Nao said obediently.

Qin Yuanyao was taken aback again: "I'm staying in a hotel. What will you do if I come to the film set during the day?"

Chi Nao said as if she had planned it all along, "Now that you're on set, I'll have my dad pick me up and take me home. I'll go to the hotel after you're done working."

"You must be so tired running around like this." Just imagining the scene made Qin Yuanyao feel sorry for Chi Nao.

"I'm not tired at all if I can sleep with my mom," Chi Nao said nonchalantly.

Qin Yuanyao couldn't bear it.

How can we let a little child run around all day? What if we ruin her little body?

What's more, this is her child.

"I'll go to the Imperial Water Pavilion instead," Qin Yuanyao said.

Chi Nao's eyes widened in surprise: "Mom, you're going to come back and sleep with me every night?"

"Mm." Qin Yuanyao nodded.

"Great!" Chi Naoqi cheered, "That's wonderful! Now I can see my mom every day and sleep with her every night!"

Seeing how happy she was, Qin Yuanyao smiled gently as well.

While her mother wasn't looking, Chi Nao gave her father a wink.

Chi Baiyi returned her a look, full of approval.

...

For the next few months, Qin Yuanyao would return to Yushuitingyuan every night to sleep with Chi Naozhi.

She has gradually come to accept that Chi Nai is her daughter.

Sometimes, seeing how cute and well-behaved Chi Nai is, she would feel smug to herself, thinking that she had raised her daughter quite well ten years later.

One day, Yao Mu took Qin Yuanyao to a coffee shop to discuss work.

As Qin Yuanyao was leaving the coffee shop after finishing her work, she saw Wu Ningwei.

Across from Wu Ningwei sat a woman in her early twenties, who was wiping away tears.

Wu Ningwei said something, and the woman stood up and left.

It was at this moment that Wu Ningwei noticed Qin Yuanyao.

She waved happily at Qin Yuanyao.

Qin Yuanyao then let Yao Mu leave first, and went to Wu Ningwei's side.

Wu Ningwei is very different from the one I saw in "Our Little Family of Three" a few months ago.

Not only has her overall demeanor changed, but her appearance has also undergone some transformations. She now looks radiant, confident, and at ease.

"Yaoyao, sit down. I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence!" Wu Ningwei smiled sincerely. "You gave me a ride back to W City before, and when Feng Wenhe and I got divorced, you even retweeted my Weibo post to support me. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, and I finally got to meet you today."

"It was just a small favor, I didn't do anything special, you don't need to worry about it," Qin Yuanyao said.

"Then let me treat you to coffee and some snacks, is that alright?"

“Okay.” Qin Yuanyao smiled. “But don’t drink coffee. Have some juice or something else. I just had a cup of coffee.”

Wu Ningwei suddenly laughed and said, "Oh right, right, you were just with your manager, weren't you? Let's have some juice then."

Wu Ningwei quickly finished ordering and then took the initiative to talk about her recent situation.

“Feng Wenhe and I have finally divorced, and he has custody of Ah Xuan. I never thought I would divorce Feng Wenhe. I thought we would definitely support each other and spend the rest of our lives together.”

“When I first had the idea of ​​divorce, I hesitated a lot. I couldn’t let go of Ah Xuan. I wondered if I was being too dramatic, that’s why I couldn’t stand this or that. Every marriage has its ups and downs.”

"Later, I gradually saw things more clearly and understood them. Sometimes, the end of a marriage is not necessarily because of a mistress or infidelity, but because of not loving each other enough, loving oneself more than one's partner. When you are dating, it is indeed good if the two of you are happy together, but once you get married, many other things will come into play."

“I used to think that divorce must be a very painful and difficult thing. But after experiencing it myself, I feel that it’s not so bad. Sometimes I even think, why didn’t I get divorced sooner? I’m much more comfortable and at ease now than when I was married.”

Looking at Wu Ningwei's bright smile, Qin Yuanyao smiled and said, "You do look much better than before."

“I also feel that I am in a good state now. Although the divorce case took some effort, the result was good and I got a lot of money. Feng Wenhe still wants to spread rumors and smear me online and cause me trouble, but because his performance in 'Our Little Family of Three' was not likable, most people are on my side.”

“When Feng Wenhe first told me about the variety show ‘Our Little Family’, I didn’t want to participate at all. I always felt that I married Feng Wenhe and didn’t want to get involved in the entertainment industry. But Feng Wenhe said that he hadn’t had any work offers for a long time, and the price offered by ‘Our Little Family’ was not low. If I participated with him, I could not only earn a lot of money, but it might also help him regain popularity. He asked me to consider his career more, so I agreed.”

"I guess even he didn't expect that I would be the biggest beneficiary of joining the family. Joining the family has actually made everyone see what kind of person he is."

At this point, Wu Ningwei revealed a mocking smile.

“I opened a bracelet shop online. At first, I just wanted to have a way to make money after the divorce, just enough to support myself. I didn’t expect to make a lot of money.”

"Who knew the bracelet shop would be so popular? I'm overwhelmed with orders. I'm planning to open another physical store, combining the online and physical stores, and then hire a few more employees. That's why I'm here today for the interview," Wu Ningwei said.
