Ye Ru glanced at Ye Haiming triumphantly, then hooked her arm around Gao Yalan's and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to eat your braised pork."

"Okay, Mom will have someone make it for you right away." Gao Yalan affectionately patted Ye Ru's head.

It has to be said that Ye Ru's coaxing skills are quite clever. In just a short while since she came back, Gao Yalan's complexion looked much better.

Just as Gao Yalan was about to go to the kitchen to have someone prepare braised pork, Ye Haiming stopped her.

“You’re not feeling well, so let Aunt Wu handle this. You’ve been down here for a while, so why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a bit?”

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as she did, Gao Yalan couldn't help but show a hint of fatigue on her face. However, not wanting to disappoint Ye Ru, she forced herself to endure her exhaustion and said:

"It's okay, I'll just teach them how to do it from the side. Without me, they won't be able to make it taste the same."

Ye Haiming had no choice but to let Gao Yalan go. "Alright then, if you feel tired, just ask Aunt Wu to push you upstairs to rest, understand?"

"knew."

Gao Yalan smiled broadly, as happy as a young girl. This was the first time she had smiled so happily since she fell ill.

Suddenly, Gao Yalan seemed to remember something and said to Ye Haiming:

“I remember Abner also loves my braised pork the most. I haven’t seen the kid in a long time. Why don’t you call him tonight and tell him to come home for dinner early?”

Ye Haiming's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to make up an excuse, Ye Ru spoke up first:

"Mom, Dad recently sent my brother to H City on a business trip. He probably won't be back for a month or two."

After saying that, she glanced at Ye Haiming and gave him an innocent smile.

Ye Haiming looked at Ye Ru with mixed feelings. He didn't know what his adopted daughter was up to, but he still went along with it and said, "Yes, I sent Abner on a business trip to H City."

"What kind of job is this? Why do you have to stay there for so long?" Gao Yalan frowned slightly, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.

Ye Haiming replied without hesitation, "Of course it's about developing new projects. He's already over thirty years old. How can he manage without some experience? Without qualifications, how can I hand over the company to him in the future? You should just focus on getting better. Why worry about him? He's not a three-year-old anymore."
