"Have you met Qi Wenyuan's wife?" Ye Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

She thought of Qi Wenyuan's hand when he wasn't wearing a ring last time, and felt that something about him had been overlooked.

Yu Anning shook her head. "I've never met him before. Qi Wenyuan and I only met recently."

Twenty-seven years have passed since they parted ways after the college entrance examination, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. Time flies, and they've both grown old. Yu Anning sighed softly. If time could turn back, perhaps she wouldn't have neglected Qi Wenyuan because of what Qi Wenyuan's mother said. She would have tried to persuade Qi Wenyuan's mother, or she would have talked things out with Qi Wenyuan and resolved the issue together.

Yu Anning always thought that if she hadn't neglected Qi Wenyuan back then, perhaps he wouldn't have gone to the United States without saying goodbye, and then never sent a single letter afterward. She even asked her grandparents to find out Qi Wenyuan's address in the United States from Qi's father and wrote several letters to him, but there was no response. Qi Wenyuan didn't reply with a single word.

Thinking of the past, Yu Anning sighed again and smiled apologetically at Ye Qingqing. She was almost fifty years old and still so preoccupied with romantic love. It was too sentimental.

Ye Qingqing frowned slightly and asked in return, "You've never even seen his wife, so how can you be so sure he has a wife and children? Maybe he's unmarried. I noticed that Qi Wenyuan isn't wearing a ring on his hand; he's bald. He's probably still single."

Yu Anning was stunned. She slowly recalled the scenes when she met Qi Wenyuan these past few days. It seemed that he was indeed not wearing a ring. She hadn't even noticed this detail. Her heart started pounding. Could it be that he was really still single?

The joy was fleeting, and Yu Anning quickly calmed down. "Impossible. Qi Wenyuan's parents returned to China fifteen years ago and said that Qi Wenyuan married and had children there. His son is about the same age as Qi Qi."

She had actually met Qi Wenyuan's mother twice before. At that time, her maternal grandparents were still alive, and she had a deep affection for them. Whenever she had free time, she would go back to visit them and that's when she met Qi's mother.

Compared to before, Qi's mother was much more polite and even took the initiative to greet her. Yu Anning had a very complicated feeling about Qi's mother. She could only say that she tried her best not to dislike her. She would always remember what Qi's mother had said back then, as well as the contemptuous look in her eyes. She would remember it for the rest of her life.

"Maybe he's divorced. Otherwise, why wouldn't he wear a ring? People in foreign countries are quite particular about that," Ye Qingqing said half-jokingly, but she really felt that Qi Wenyuan should be single now, and didn't seem like a married man.

Yu Anning's heart skipped a beat again. Divorced...? Is that even possible?

Even if they get divorced, her current frail health makes her unworthy of Qi Wenyuan, and besides, Qi's mother is still alive, so she certainly won't agree.

Her heart turned cold. Yu Anning gave a self-deprecating laugh and pretended to be indifferent. "The divorce has nothing to do with me. I just want to enjoy life now."

"With your current financial situation, you can live very comfortably even if you don't work, so enjoy yourself!"

Ye Qingqing didn't mention Qi Wenyuan again and treated Yu Anning. The second treatment was milder, but Yu Anning was still exhausted and lay in bed for a long time before recovering.

"Why don't you stay at my place for the night?" Ye Qingqing suggested.

Yu Anning shook her head. "No need, I'll be fine after resting a little longer."

Ye Qingqing advised, "Don't be so stubborn. You can talk to your parents. It's better than you struggling alone right now."
