Lin Yi looked at the two exchanging glances and felt like crying.

This is so unfair to single people! All he did was deliver some food, and now he's the one eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Waaaaah~~~ I'm so sad~~

Where is his other half?

Then, with a tearful expression, she quietly left the office.

If he stayed any longer, he felt he would either die of envy or be stuffed to death.

——

The afternoon flew by, and before I knew it, it was time to leave work.

After signing the last document in his hand, Ye Mohan put down his pen and looked up at the sofa.

Upon seeing Jian Yixue sleeping soundly on the sofa, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips as she gracefully got up and walked over.

Beside the sofa, Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue's beautiful sleeping face and couldn't help but lean down and kiss her forehead.

As Jian Yixue was having a sweet dream, she felt a strange touch on her forehead. Her voice was lazy and had a hint of coquetry.

"Stop fooling around, I want to sleep~~~"

Looking at Jian Yixue's lovely appearance, Ye Mohan couldn't help but stare at her closely, finding her exceptionally cute and charming, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing the sound, Jian Yixue, who was still asleep, furrowed her beautiful brows.

Who is it that disturbed her sweet dreams!

Slightly grumpy upon waking, Jian Yixue opened her eyes in a huff, about to throw a tantrum, when she saw the handsome man standing right in front of her.

For a moment, I was slightly stunned and subconsciously moved back a little.

This created a safe distance between the two of them.

Looking out the window, I saw that it didn't seem to be too early.

"Are you done with your work? What time is it? Are you about to get off work?"

Jian Yixue reached into her pocket for her phone to check the time.

"Yes, I'm done."

Upon hearing Ye Mohan's answer, Jian Yixue stopped looking for her phone, looked up at Ye Mohan, and asked, "Then let's go home?"

Ye Mohan smiled and nodded, and they left the Ye Corporation Building together.

——

Castle, Master Bedroom

midnight

Jian Yixue lay in bed with her eyes closed, but she wasn't asleep.

Hearing Ye Mohan's shallow breathing beside her, she suddenly opened her star-like peach blossom eyes.

She turned her head to look at Ye Mohan beside her, and only after confirming that he was fast asleep did she quietly get up.

After changing into a black outfit, I picked up the wooden box Aunt Qiu gave me and put it into my spatial storage, preparing to sneak over to the Jian family's house.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Ye Mohan, who was already awake and sitting on the bed, and she was so frightened that she immediately took a few steps back.

He patted his chest and it took him a while to calm down.

Wasn't he asleep?

You checked it repeatedly yourself, didn't you?

What's going on?

Jane Yixue was filled with doubts and some surprise.

It was Ye Mohan, who was sitting on the bed, who spoke first, his deep and magnetic voice saying something.

"Is Madam dressed like this to go to the Jian family alone?"

How did you know?

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Ye Mohan on the bed.

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's question, Ye Mohan couldn't help but chuckle.

“Fool, I noticed you were uneasy after seeing the jade pendant during the day, so I guessed you would go to the Jian family to find out the truth.”

Jian Yixue thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

Visiting the Jian family at night was originally her plan, but it was delayed because she was abroad.

However, after meeting Aunt Qiu during the day and receiving her mother's belongings, her doubts deepened, and she wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible.

So she deliberately went to bed early tonight, thinking that she would go to the Jian family after Ye Mohan fell asleep.

After figuring it out, Jian Yixue felt relieved.

If you know, you know; it's not a secret.

"Okay, it's better that you know now. Lend me a car, and I should be back in 2-3 hours if nothing unexpected happens."

It's good that I'm awake; I was just wondering how to get out.

There is no transportation available within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

I originally planned to treat running as a form of fitness training, but now it seems there's a faster way.

“I’ll go with you and be your personal driver. I’m worried about you going alone. I won’t go in; I’ll just wait for you at the entrance.”

Ye Mohan, worried that Jian Yixue might misunderstand, explained.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue frowned, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

He can go wherever he wants, and he can know whatever he wants!

She would tell him these things once she had sorted them out; she had no intention of hiding them from him.

Not long after, a discreet black Porsche drove away from the castle.

There were only two people in the car, Ye Mohan and Jian Yixue, both dressed in black.

On the highway in the dead of night, there were hardly any vehicles, and the journey that would normally take forty or fifty minutes was completed in less than twenty minutes.

Ye Mohan stopped at the corner, and could see the Jian family villa when he looked up.

Ye Mohan turned to look at Jian Yixue, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a cold and beautiful face, handed her the phone's signal receiver, and gave her instructions.

"I'll be waiting for you here. If you encounter any danger, remember to press the button and I'll know immediately."

There was some worry in his eyes, but he did not stop Jian Yixue.

Ye Mohan knew that his wife was destined not to be a caged canary.

She should be a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens; the vast and boundless sky is her stage.

She wanted to fly, so he would protect her!

Jane accepted the signal and held it tightly in my hand.

Turning her head to look at Ye Mohan, she saw the worry in his eyes. Knowing that he hadn't stopped her, she felt an indescribable surge of emotion.

Despite being incredibly worried, she still supported me unconditionally. I really don't know how I could have been so blind to have someone who cared so much for me.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Jian Yixue felt that after this incident, she should find an opportunity to tell Ye Mohan her true identity.

So that Ye Mohan wouldn't think she was incapable of protecting herself and constantly worry about her safety.

Ye Mohan stared intently at Jian Yixue, and nodded upon hearing her words.

"Then I'll go first, wait for me."

After Jian Yixue finished speaking, she opened the car door and prepared to get up and leave. Suddenly remembering something, she turned her head and kissed Ye Mohan, then got out of the car with a smile.

Soon, the figure disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Ye Mohan kept his gaze fixed on Jian Yixue's figure until she was out of sight, then reluctantly looked away, reached out and touched the spot where Jian Yixue had kissed him, and grinned foolishly for a while.

Then, gazing at the Jian family villa not far away, his eyes revealed an unconcealable worry.

Under the cover of night, relying on her vague memory, Jian Yixue circled around to the backyard of the Jian family. Using her arms as support, she leaped over the nearly two-meter-high fence.

Relying on his memory, he searched for the two-story low house built next to the villa in the backyard.

This is a housing complex specifically for maids, and Aunt Qiu, as a maid, should also be living here.

Jian Yixue searched room by room, and when she reached the innermost room with the light on, she saw Aunt Qiu sitting in a chair mending clothes.

She glanced down at the door, which was ajar and unlocked, so she pushed it open and went inside.

"Young Miss, you've arrived."
