After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time. Jian He was a little annoyed. She thought that Cheng Yan must be angry with her. She had caused him so much trouble, so it was understandable that he was angry with her.

At that moment, Cheng Yan was seeing patients at the hospital. Five minutes had passed when he saw Jian He's message.

He held up his phone and replied to Jian He: 【?】

Seeing the question mark Cheng Yan sent, Jian He felt even more uncertain.

What does he mean by that? Does he accept my apology, or does he not?

She had a feeling that in front of Cheng Yan, she was like a child who had made a mistake.

Jian He felt quite uneasy.

A few minutes later, Cheng Yan sent another message: [Did you drink the porridge I made for you? Millet porridge is good for the stomach and can help with hangovers...]

Jian He replied to him: 【I drank it, thank you...】

Looking at the message Jian He sent, Cheng Yan easily imagined Jian He's cute smiling face at that moment. Just then, a patient came over, so he smiled slightly and put his phone away.

Meanwhile, Jian He also started getting busy.

She handled some company affairs and signed some documents. When it was lunchtime, she was about to go home when she saw Yin Muqiao waiting in the company lobby as soon as she got downstairs.

Upon seeing Jian He come downstairs, Yin Muqiao angrily approached her.

Regardless of the number of people, he confronted Jian He with questions.

"Jian He, what do you mean? What exactly do you want?"

Faced with Yin Muqiao's sudden questioning, Jian He frowned. Why did she feel that her ex-husband, Yin Muqiao, was like a leech, always around?

"What do I want to do? Yin Muqiao, what do you mean?"

Jian He hugged her arms, ready to see what Yin Muqiao was up to.

She had never realized Yin Muqiao was so annoying before. But now, whenever she sees Yin Muqiao, she feels like he's a toad—he doesn't bite, but he just loves to crawl in front of her and annoy her.

"Jian He, I came to see you today because I wanted to have a talk with you."

“We’ve been married for many years, and I know you quite well. You don’t need to use Cheng Yan to upset me just because we’re divorced.”

"If you really can't bear to let go, can't bear to get a divorce, I'll give you a chance to remarry me."

"As long as you can still settle my family as before and let me continue to be the president of Jian's Group, I promise I will cut all ties with Wu Hua completely from now on, okay?"

Looking at Yin Muqiao's naive and foolish appearance, Jian He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

She sneered and glanced at Yin Muqiao standing in front of her with utter contempt. At this moment, she felt that she had no interest in even talking to this man.

"Yin Muqiao, you're such a naive and innocent girl. You want me to remarry you? Maybe in the next life."

Jian He stopped arguing with Yin Muqiao and instead beckoned to the security guards, signaling them to throw Yin Muqiao out.

A moment later, she turned to the security captain and said, "Put up a sign at the entrance that says, 'Yin Muqiao and dogs are not allowed to enter.'"

"Yes, Mr. Jian..."

When Jian He returned home at noon, she was glued to her phone, grinning like an idiot. When Rui Bao came home from school, he came up to her and saw her texting Cheng Yan.

Rui Bao snuggled closer to Jian He and asked in his childish voice, "Mommy, are you texting Uncle Cheng?"

Jian He nodded: "Yes, Uncle Cheng said he's on duty at the hospital today and is a bit busy. He'll come over to give you a massage as soon as he gets off work tonight."

"Oh, Uncle Cheng is so wonderful! I like Uncle Cheng so much!" Children are innocent and straightforward; they can always express their feelings without any pretense.

Hearing Rui Bao say that he liked Uncle Cheng, Jian He became interested. She hugged Rui Bao and asked, "Rui Bao, tell Mommy, why do you like Uncle Cheng?"

Ruibao started counting on his fingers.

He said, "Mom, will Uncle Cheng give me a massage? Will he also read picture books with me? My favorite thing is riding his big horse. He praised me and said I am the smartest child in the world."

"Mom, Dad has never played these games with me, so I don't like Dad. I only like Uncle Cheng."

Rui Bao muttered to himself, listing all his grievances against Yin Muqiao.

It was only at this point that Jian He belatedly realized the extent of harm an unhappy marriage could inflict on a child.

At the same time, Huang Chunhua, who had been detained for more than ten days in accordance with the law, was taken to Wu Hua's apartment by Yin Muyan and Yin Hong.

After being thoroughly educated by the police, Huang Chunhua had lost her previous hostility. Looking at Wu Hua's cramped apartment, she couldn't help but sigh.

Having been detained for more than ten days, she hadn't had a decent meal. So, as soon as she arrived at Wu Hua's house, she acted like an old matriarch, ordering Wu Hua and Yin Muqiao to stew pork ribs for her.

Wu Hua was very indignant, but there was nothing she could do. The Yin family had many members who all stayed at her place. If she didn't treat them well, who knew what Yin Hong might do to her house when he got angry.

The pork rib soup was served, and Huang Chunhua wolfed it down while belittling Wu Hua's residence.

"Oh dear, this is such a small apartment, just a simple two-bedroom, one-living-room house, how are we supposed to live here?"

“If A-Qiao hadn’t divorced Jian He, we might still be living in a big house now… This is really a case of losing more than we gain.”

Huang Chunhua always longed for that big house. The thought that she would never have the chance to live in such a nice house again made her extremely sad.

If she had known it would end like this, she should have chased Wu Hua away with a broom when her son started having an affair with her.

Now look what's happened, we've lost both our wife and our army!

"Mom, let's not talk about the past anymore. Jian He is a heartless person. I went to apologize to her today, hoping to give her another chance to remarry, but I didn't expect her to send people to kick me out."

"It seems she's determined to draw a clear line between us."

Yin Muqiao was extremely agitated. Jian He's sudden change left him feeling helpless.

"Of course, Mom, I don't regret it. If my divorce can bring you and my sister peace, it's worth it." Yin Muqiao said with an air of "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Huang Chunhua sighed deeply and said somewhat speechlessly, "Divorce is divorce, I don't care. My son is so outstanding, what kind of girl can't he find?"

"I'm just a little disappointed, it's a pity that I won't be able to see such a handsome grandson again..."
