The couple looked at each other.

Tears welled up in their eyes as they looked at their sleeping son.

He bowed solemnly to Yun Lian.

"Thank you, Miss Yun!"

At this moment, the three of them had no idea how much impact their hasty verbal agreement would have on them in the future.

During the time I was busy at the flower shop, the streets were almost deserted.

The journey back with Yun Lian and Huo Ye was utterly silent.

Back at the Huo family home, Yun Lian felt that Huo Ye seemed to have changed a lot.

I can check the strategy points, but I can't seem to reach 100.

I've been stuck at 92 for a long time.

"Huo Ye, are you satisfied with your life now?"

Yun Lian had already learned from the system that Huo Ye liked her.

She has tried her best to be a parent who doesn't interfere in her son's life, and she almost always grants his requests.

But why is Huo Ye still a little unhappy?

Back in Yun Kingdom, Yun Lian was most afraid of dealing with matters of the heart, as she couldn't distinguish between kinship, friendship, and love.

Huo Ye stared intently at Yun Lian.

"If I'm not satisfied, stepmother, will you help me?"

"Of course I'll help. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just tell me and I'll do my best to make it happen for you."

Huo Ye, with his sharp eyes, noticed the red marks on Yun Lian's neck.

"What if I wanted to commit treason?"

Yun Lian splashed a string of water droplets onto Huo Ye's face.

"I'm talking about serious matters, stop with the nonsense."

Huo Ye suddenly moved closer to Yun Lian.

The bathroom was filled with steam, but Yun Lian could still clearly see the fine hairs on his face.

Huo Ye deliberately moved closer, his handsome face almost touching his own.

"Are you just asking? Knowing my true thoughts, are you unwilling to take action?"

Yun Lian was almost burned by his gaze.
