Why does the CEO always seem to be up to something late at night these past few days?

Yesterday during the day, I told him to go to the night market to find the barbecue stall from before and make up for the money. Only a few hours have passed, and now this has happened again, in the middle of the night.

Lin Yi sat up, and after a long while of being awake, he resignedly got up to do what Ye Mohan had told him to do.

That's because he's a special assistant on call 24/7.

Even getting a full night's sleep is a luxury.

On the other side of the car

Jian Yixue was deeply moved as she listened to Ye Mohan handle the matters she had been entrusted with immediately.

"Let's go back first."

Ye Mohan hung up the phone, glanced at the sky outside, and turned to Jian Yixue.

Jane nodded.

Then the car started and drove towards the castle.

——

Castle, Bedroom

The two returned late at night, had washed up, and lay embracing on the large Simmons bed.

Jian Yixue was wide awake, her mind blank, her thoughts constantly wandering, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, looked at the girl lying on his arm and felt a slight flutter in his heart, but he suppressed it.

Can't sleep?

Upon hearing the sound, Jian Yixue snapped out of her reverie and hummed in response, nodding slightly.

"Are you still thinking about Aunt Qiu's words? If you want to say something, you can tell me."

Ye Mohan's deep, slightly seductive voice came through.

After hearing Ye Mohan's words, Jian Yixue thought about it and decided that it wouldn't hurt to tell Ye Mohan what was on her mind.

Jian Yixue sorted out the jumbled thoughts in her mind and began to say softly, "Yes and no, I just think about it a lot."

"Then tell me slowly, I'm listening."

"In my memory, my mother has always been a gentle person to the core. I have never seen her angry. It seems that nothing has anything to do with her and nothing can affect her emotions."

And I always thought that even if my mother's relationship was unhappy later on, at least it was happy at the beginning.

But after hearing what Aunt Qiu said today, I realized that all my previous understanding was wrong. How ridiculous!

Mistaking an enemy for a relative, my mother, if she knew this in the afterlife, would surely not rest in peace.

As Jian Yixue spoke, she couldn't control her sadness and began to mock herself.

As Ye Mohan listened, he noticed that Jian Yixue in his arms was not in a good mood, so he pulled her closer to him.

The two faced each other. Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue, who was lost in her own thoughts, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How old were you back then? Even if your mother-in-law knew in the afterlife, she wouldn't blame you."

The investigation is still ongoing, so don't overthink it. Even if he really did kill your mother-in-law in the end, you can still seek justice for her.

Don't be sad. Your mother-in-law certainly hopes you can live a happy and fulfilling life, carrying her share of joy.

Hearing Ye Mohan's words of comfort, Jian Yixue, who had been stuck in a rut, suddenly felt much better.

Yes, no matter how much she regrets it, she can't change the fact that her mother is gone.

The deceased are gone, the living must strive to be strong!

She can't take all the blame upon herself.

There are still many things waiting for her to do; she cannot be so discouraged.

She wanted to find out the truth and seek justice for her mother.

We must also live on with the same love our mother had for the world.

Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan, who was staring at her, and nodded firmly.

Ye Mohan pulled Jian Yixue into his arms and held her tightly. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm here for you. You can try to rely on me more. I will do everything in my power to protect you."

With her head buried in Ye Mohan's chest, Jian Yixue felt the strong heartbeat of Ye Mohan and listened to his heartfelt confession. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness, and she nodded with emotion.

"Yes, thank you, Mo Han."

Thank you for loving me unconditionally throughout both my lifetimes.

"Fool, you don't need to thank me. Saying it would be too formal, so don't say it again, understand?"

Ye Mohan said gently.

Upon hearing Ye Mohan's words, Jian Yixue hummed in agreement and then nodded happily.

After an unknown amount of time, Jian Yixue gradually fell asleep in Ye Mohan's arms.

Hearing Jian Yixue's steady breathing in his arms, Ye Mohan gradually calmed down and then held her close as they fell asleep.

The next day, they both slept until late morning before waking up one after the other.

Jian Yixue woke up first and realized that the pillow she was sleeping on was a little different from usual. When she looked up and saw Ye Mohan sleeping, she remembered that the two of them had slept together last night.

It was a rare opportunity to admire Ye Mohan's sleeping face so closely, so I was stunned and ended up touching it restlessly.

While asleep, Ye Mohan felt something strange on his face and suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at Jian Yixue in his arms, his expression softened. He reached out to support his head and said affectionately, "Good morning, my wife."

Hearing Ye Mohan address her, Jian Yixue blushed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

Ye Mohan was right; she was indeed his wife. However, hearing it suddenly still made him feel a little embarrassed.

Ye Mohan naturally didn't miss the expression on Jian Yixue's face, and teased, "Xue'er, are you not used to hearing me call you wife?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Yixue suddenly pulled the blanket over her head, somewhat embarrassed, and loudly scolded, "Ye Mohan, you did that on purpose! If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Seeing this, Ye Mohan couldn't help but smile and reached out to try to pull Jian Yixue out.

The moment Ye Mohan pulled her blanket away, Jian Yixue realized what he was trying to do and tightly held onto the blanket covering her.

Seeing that Jian Yixue refused to come out and he couldn't get her out after a long time, Ye Mohan had no choice but to stop and talk to her.

"Okay, honey, I was wrong, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and get up to wash up, we'll go see Grandpa later."

Hearing this, Jian Yixue still didn't want to peek out. "Okay, you get up and wash up first. I'll come out in a bit."

Seeing this, Ye Mohan got up first. Jian Yixue, making sure no one was in bed, secretly lifted a corner of the blanket and looked around.

Seeing that Ye Mohan had gone to the washroom, she quickly got up and slipped into the dressing room to tidy up.

When Jian Yixue finished her makeup and got dressed to go downstairs, she remembered that Ye Mohan had said they were going to visit her grandfather today.

After thinking for a moment, he used his consciousness to retrieve some medicinal herbs from his spatial storage to nourish his body. He also took out a few gift boxes that he had secretly slipped into the research institute when he was making medicine. He put the medicinal herbs into the boxes and then carried them downstairs.

In the living room, Ye Mohan was leisurely drinking tea on the sofa, waiting for Jian Yixue to come down. It was a rare occasion that he wasn't working.

Hearing a noise coming from the stairwell, Ye Mohan looked up and saw Jian Yixue, dressed in a white dress and high heels, walking gracefully towards him.

Today, Jian Yixue looked like an elegant lady, wearing a white, fitted fishtail off-the-shoulder dress.
