Chen Yu was in a good mood upon learning that the "Frost Alliance's" stronghold had been captured by Lin Lele and her group.

Overjoyed, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses with Qi Xiaowei.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he noticed Qi Xiaowei's worried expression and asked in confusion, "Old Qi, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

"Sigh~!" Qi Xiaowei sighed heavily.

"Hehe, you're enjoying success in both love and career now, so why do you still look so gloomy?" Chen Yu teased with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, please don't make fun of me." Qi Xiaowei smiled wryly, "I've been so worried about Yun'er lately."

"Oh?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "What? Your white moonlight isn't appealing anymore?"

Qi Xiaowei shook his head with a bitter expression: "But my wife and I have been together for over ten years, and our children are still young..."

Chen Yu interrupted Qi Xiaowei: "Old Qi, matters of the heart are always complicated and difficult to untangle. But you have to understand that no matter which path you choose, you have to be true to your heart and not forget your responsibilities to your family."

“But Yun’er is so loyal and devoted to me. After learning what she has done for me all these years, if I were to ignore her, would I still be a man?” Qi Xiaowei’s voice was filled with struggle and self-reproach. “She has given up so much for me, even sacrificed her own happiness, just so that I could live and work in peace. How can I easily betray such deep affection?”

"You've said so much, but all you're saying is that you don't know how to choose between the two of them," Chen Yu waved his hand and said. "You're over fifty years old, why are you making choices? Just have both."

"This...is this okay?" Qi Xiaowei asked doubtfully. "This doesn't comply with the rules of our Tianyu Base, does it?"

“Rules are made by people. Your situation is special, so we can make special considerations for you,” Chen Yu said in a deep voice. “However, this is not a matter for you alone. It requires the understanding and consent of all three parties.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaowei's face immediately lit up with excitement as he said, "No problem, I'll talk to them. Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Seeing Qi Xiaowei's radiant appearance instantly, completely unlike his previous dejected look, Chen Yu couldn't help but wonder if the kid had been deliberately putting on an act just to get him to make this "special exception."

However, this thought only flashed through Chen Yu's mind. After all, Qi Xiaowei's current predicament was a fact, and it would be difficult for anyone to make a decision in his place.

With that thought in mind, Chen Yu stopped worrying about it, stood up, and said to Qi Xiaowei, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back first and think carefully about how to talk to both of them tonight."

Qi Xiaowei nodded solemnly, then bid farewell to Chen Yu and prepared to leave.

Just then, Chen Yu suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaowei stopped and turned around, looking at Chen Yu with a nervous expression: "Mr. Chen, is there anything else you need?"

Chen Yu laughed and said, "Old Qi, don't be so nervous."

"I just want to remind you that I'm giving you this special treatment because of your current situation. I hope this is the first and the last time. If you fall into this kind of emotional predicament again and mess around with relationships, I won't give you the green light."

As he spoke, Chen Yu's tone became more forceful, and his expression turned serious.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaowei immediately became anxious: "Mr. Chen, I, Qi Xiaowei, swear to God, I am absolutely not that kind of person, I..."

Chen Yu raised his hand to stop Qi Xiaowei from continuing, then waved his hand, indicating that Qi Xiaowei could leave.

Qi Xiaowei bowed gratefully to Chen Yu again before leaving the room.

Watching Qi Xiaowei's departing figure, Chen Yu couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Just then, a slightly mocking voice came from upstairs: "So what if Qi Jichang got another girlfriend? Why do you have to meddle in this?"

Chen Yu looked up and saw Qiao Xin standing by the railing on the second floor, arms crossed, a playful smile on her lips. She had obviously overheard his conversation with Qi Xiaowei.

Chen Yu felt a headache coming on. He had originally planned to have his men send Qiao Xin back to Haidu when he first arrived.

However, the other party refused to leave, claiming that she wanted to watch over Chen Yu for her sister.

She had already confirmed the relationship between Chen Yu and Qiao Meng through Qiao Meng.

Her first reaction was to tell Qiao Meng to stay away from Chen Yu, that scumbag, but Qiao Meng wouldn't listen and even tried to persuade her to understand Chen Yu's situation.

Helpless, Qiao Xin could only tell her parents about it. However, after learning about it, her father Qiao Gang and mother Liu Tonghua did not stand by her side to condemn Chen Yu and persuade Qiao Meng to leave him, as she had expected. Instead, they were vague about the matter and completely perfunctory towards her.

Having no other choice, Qiao Xin knew she couldn't get her sister to leave Chen Yu, so she could only stay by Chen Yu's side. She had to keep an eye on Chen Yu for her sister to prevent him from continuing to philander.

Chen Yu was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Considering that the journey hadn't been peaceful due to the "Frost Alliance," and that Qiao Xin was Qiao Meng's younger sister, he didn't know how he could explain it to Qiao Meng if something happened to her on the way. So he decided to keep her with him for the time being and take her back with him when they returned to Tianyu Base.

“Qi Jichang and Aunt Yun have been together for so many years, and it’s only natural that they’re together now.” Qiao Xin continued, “It’s the end of the world, and many people can’t even afford to eat. You’re still concerned about how many women he’s with. That’s just meddling.”

“Xiaoxin, you don’t understand this. It’s not as simple as you think,” Chen Yu said seriously. “In this unprecedented extreme cold disaster, countless people perished, and probably less than two out of ten survived. Among the survivors, there are significantly fewer women than men. Due to the gender imbalance, many male survivors can’t even find a partner, yet Qi Xiaowei is monopolizing two. What kind of nonsense is this? If this situation continues, how can the members of Tianyu Base maintain unity? It will also be detrimental to the sustainable development concept of Tianyu Base.”

“Of course, I am aware of Qi Xiaowei’s relationship with Xu Yun. This is a special case for him, and I have already given him special permission to handle this relationship issue. You don’t need to worry,” Chen Yu added.

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Qiao Xin said with a mocking expression, "That's well said, but what about yourself? You're really strict with others but lenient with yourself!"

"This..." Chen Yu was slightly taken aback by Qiao Xin's sudden question. He then realized that he had been tricked by Qiao Xin.

"Ahem~" Chen Yu coughed awkwardly.

Then, with a stern face, he said, "What are you doing wandering around so late? Go back to sleep!"

After saying that, she hurriedly returned to her room without waiting for Qiao Xin's reaction.
