Everyone felt somewhat gratified watching Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye's interaction.

Even Ms. Zhao slightly curled her lips.

Although she didn't like Duan Ye at first, as time goes by, people's thoughts will eventually change.

Duan Luo and Duan Chen are so adorable, and as their grandmother, she really hopes they can have a complete family.

But she also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

Time passed by, but Luo Qingyuan had no appetite, so she only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.

Luo Qingyuan looked in the direction of the child: "I'm finished eating, I'll go get the baby..."

Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to stand up, Duan Ye grabbed her hand and pressed her back down.

"Eat some more, and let your parents hug you more."

As he spoke, Duan Ye put food into Luo Qingyuan's bowl.

"eat."

Luo Qingyuan looked at the meat and vegetables in the bowl with a helpless expression.

Ms. Zhao was constantly monitoring her daughter's movements and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Since Luo Qingyuan returned, she has been working with the chef to come up with all sorts of recipes for Luo Qingyuan, but Luo Qingyuan eats very little, no matter what she says.

She hoped that Duan Ye could get Luo Qingyuan to eat more.

After all, seeing Luo Qingyuan's emaciated appearance, she felt genuinely sorry for her and worried about Luo Qingyuan's health.

Under Ms. Zhao's gaze, Luo Qingyuan finally picked up her chopsticks again.

"Alright, I'll eat some more then," Luo Qingyuan conceded.

So, while chatting with his parents, Duan Ye didn't forget to feed Luo Qingyuan.

Luo Qingyuan was only willing to eat the food that Duan Ye put on her plate.

And so, an hour later, the meal finally came to an end.

Ms. Zhao left first with her two children, and Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen, seeing this, also quickly left first.

So, only Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan remained at the entrance of the New Moon Hotel.

The two were inevitably a little embarrassed.

Duan Ye asked, "I heard you've returned to Henglun?"

Luo Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, I plan to send the children to school in Kyoto."

"So you've decided to stay?"

Luo Qingyuan didn't want to lie, so she nodded: "Mm."

"Then will you still leave?"

Luo Qingyuan didn't answer Duan Ye's question, but after a while, she asked in return, "And what about you? Will you leave again?"

Duan Ye naturally couldn't give a clear answer either.

So the two of them skipped the topic without prior arrangement.

The two walked side by side. Just as Duan Ye was about to say something, Luo Qingyuan asked him, "How has your relationship with Nanxing been all these years?"

Duan Ye found it strange that Luo Qingyuan would ask Nanxing, because in Duan Ye's eyes, Luo Qingyuan didn't seem to care about Nanxing that much.

Duan Ye told the truth: "We only keep in touch occasionally, and I haven't seen her in the past few years."

"That day at the charity gala was also the first time I met Nanxing since I returned to China."

Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Your parents must really like Nanxing, right?"

This time, Duan Ye didn't answer directly: "What? Are you bothered by this question?"

Before Luo Qingyuan could speak, Duan Ye smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that you gave me the divorce agreement back then?"

So, Luo Qingyuan swallowed the words she wanted to say.

She fell silent again for no apparent reason.

Duan Ye knew he shouldn't, but when he thought about the past five years of separation, the words he said were different from what he really thought.

"Nanxing and I never had each other before, and we never will."

Duan Ye offered an explanation, then continued:

"Luo Qingyuan, what are your thoughts on the child?"

Duan Ye didn't want to bring up other women when they were alone, so he simply skipped the topic.

Luo Qingyuan sighed: "Give me a little more time, let me think about it carefully."

"It's been five years."

Luo Qingyuan was taken aback: "What?"

Duan Ye closed his eyes briefly: "I've been saying this for five years, Luo Qingyuan, and you still haven't made up your mind, have you?"

"Is one five-year period not enough? Do we need another five-year period?"

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you something, Luo Qingyuan..."

Luo Qingyuan's heart jumped instantly, and she looked at Duan Ye with some unease.

Their eyes met, and Duan Ye's eyes finally showed a hint of disappointment towards Luo Qingyuan.

"How much are your so-called sincerity and love really worth?"

After saying that, Duan Ye didn't bother to stay any longer and turned to leave.

Luo Qingyuan's heart ached uncontrollably: "I have never lied to you about what I said five years ago."

Duan Ye turned around, his eyes somewhat cold: "This time, it's my turn to not believe you."

Luo Qingyuan was still wearing high heels. She ran a few steps toward Duan Ye, wanting to stop him, but even after she called out to him, Duan Ye didn't turn around. He walked quickly and hurriedly, and soon disappeared around the corner.

Luo Qingyuan twisted her ankle because she was walking too fast. The pain made her face contort, and she squatted down on the spot, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

Meanwhile, the scene was filmed and sent to Nanxing's phone.

Upon seeing the video, Nanxing deleted it without hesitation, then immediately picked up her bag and left the filming location.

Nan Hao was playing chess with his friends at home when he received a message from Nan Xing.

—Dad, Mom said you weren't feeling well the other day, so I bought you a massage chair. I'll bring it back to you in a bit.

Nan Hao was overjoyed when he saw the message, and he kept bragging to his chess-playing friend about how sensible his daughter was.
