Even amidst the suffering, there was a sliver of pleasure.

Ye Qing hadn't completely forgotten him.

"Sister Qing." Even with blood flowing from his mouth and a burning pain on his face, he still insisted on calling out.

Ye Qing, tall and wearing high heels, easily reached out and grabbed Liu Tian's somewhat long hair.

Almost using brute force, he dragged the man forward. With a throbbing pain in his scalp, Liu Tian was completely powerless to resist and had no idea what Ye Qing was going to do.

After a moment's hesitation, the bodyguards unanimously decided not to follow.

"Why does the boss seem like he's abusing me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just pretend you're deaf, mute, and blind."

Liu Tian was dragged along the way, saying, "Sister Qing, it hurts."

Ye Qing, wearing high heels, tapped her shoes on the floor.

It seemed they had finally found the place, and the pressure on their hands lessened.

Liu Tian only had time to glance at it; the sign read "Female Master's Degree".

He was pushed into a bathroom stall.

What happened next is unknown.

Only the two of them knew.

...

Ye Zhou and An Youhe spent their honeymoon in Bali and had a wonderful month-long vacation.

After returning to China.

I was surprised to see a top female celebrity announcing that she has a boyfriend trending on social media.

Ye Qing's company did a good job with public relations.

Ye Zhou called Ye Qing, but he found out too late; the hype had already died down.

Ye Qing lost some fans and her resources decreased somewhat.

Judging from the tone of his voice on the phone, Ye Qing seemed quite relaxed, much like his older sister who had lived with him for over a decade.

They cooked two simple home-style dishes. An Youhe made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and Ye Zhou made his best braised pork. The two of them ate at the table.

No one would have imagined that a man with assets in the tens of billions would be eating at such an ordinary little dining table.

The TV was playing background noise.

While eating, An Youhe suddenly said, "Lili's little Tian is so cute, she can already walk now."

Ye Zhou put down his chopsticks. "What? Do you want to make a person right now?"

An Youhe smiled and said, "Let's eat first. Your braised pork is delicious, it can't get cold."

"Okay, you need to eat well to have the energy to work."

The female news anchor's voice came through the television: "That concludes today's news broadcast. Thank you for watching."

"Why did today's news end so quickly? I didn't even get to watch it properly," An Youhe asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Zhou suddenly swept the girl up in his arms, making Ye Zhou laugh heartily. "Maybe even the host wants to end this quickly so we can start making babies sooner?"

The bedroom door was closed.

...

While the two were joking around at the dinner table, the female host's voice continued to play on the television.

"We have an urgent news briefing. Our beloved CCTV reporter, Jiang Jiayan, tragically passed away in an accident while accompanying the Antarctic expedition team. She was only 21 years old."

[The main story is temporarily paused, but the book won't end so soon. It might include two parallel worlds where everyone has a happy ending. The expected length is 500,000 words. The epilogue will likely be at the end; I need to think about that carefully. Thank you all for reading this far, that's all for now o(￣ε￣*) ╮(￣▽￣)╭]
