Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, still remembering that her mother didn't want her to go to Wei Yang's place.

“My mom said that we’re not married yet, so I can’t stay at your place.”

Perhaps because she was scolded, she's now a tiny bit more sharp-witted.

So she also knew that her mother had said before that she couldn't go back with this man alone.

However, she only had a tiny bit of resistance; if Wei Yang said a few more words, she would completely change her mind.

Ouyang, of course, knew what Xu Wan was thinking, so he quickly put his arm around her shoulder and kept comforting her in a very gentle voice.

"Don't think like that. Your aunt is so angry because of your grandmother's illness. You have to understand her."

And it's not just me. My parents and brother are all at home right now.

You can't go back now, and if you go out, I'll be even more worried, don't you think?

Don't worry, I love you so much, would I ever hurt you?

Every word Wei Yang said sounded so real and so gentle.

“But I…” Xu Wan still had a little resistance.

"Alright then, if you're not coming back with me, I'll just stay here with you at the door."

Mo Yan immediately started packing her things, preparing to take them to the farm, where she would live from now on.

She had already applied for early retirement from the logistics department, unlike the original owner of this body. Since Mo Yan took early retirement directly, her employer was naturally happy to accept it.

Moreover, Mo Yan delegated authority very readily. The original owner was different back then. She never delegated authority and even thought that Wei Yang, who knew nothing, would come and take over. Of course, this made the unit unhappy, and in the end, when she was bullied, no one spoke up for her.

But this time she took early retirement and even mentored several people. She didn't recommend anyone, which actually fostered a positive relationship with her former workplace.

Xu Wan and Wei Yang waited for a very long time, but Mo Yan showed no sign of opening the door.

Xu Wan looked at the door with a heavy heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable. This was clearly her home, but it felt like she could never go back.

She used to be absolutely certain that her mother loved her very much, and she didn't have to worry about anything. She would have breakfast ready for her every morning. Her mother would give her pocket money before she left home so she wouldn't go hungry, and she would also bring her lunch at noon.

He also told her everything about the family's finances, such as how many houses they owned and how much savings they had, all of which would eventually belong to her.

But now her mother is telling her not to come back.

At this moment, Xu Wan was really upset. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't let them fall.

"Wanwan, don't be sad. Let's go back and get something to eat, okay?"

"I don't want to eat..." Xu Wan pouted, her eyes were sore and even her nose hurt a little.

"How can you not eat? It would break my heart. If you don't eat, then I won't eat either."

Xu Wan was deeply moved upon hearing this. "I want to wait for Mom to open the door."

"I know, but Auntie is still angry, isn't she? Come back with me, and we'll eat and come right back, okay?"

Wei Yang gently comforted Xu Wan, which eased her feelings of grievance a little, but she was still very sad.

"Um."

Hearing the two leave, Mo Yan sneered.

It's unclear whether Wei Yang is genuinely acting in the best interests of the char siu, or if he's plotting something.

When Old Mrs. Wei saw Xu Wan come in crying, her face immediately fell. "What do you mean? Coming to someone else's house and crying? Are you trying to bring bad luck to our family?"
