Chapter 50
"Mr. Fang, it's so late, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
In the office, the assistant on night shift looked at Fang Shiyan with some concern.
Recently, the company has run into some problems, and Fang Shiyan has been living at the company almost every day, and hardly sleeping at all, only sleeping three or four hours a day.
It's okay for a day or two, but if it goes on for too long, it will probably cause health problems.
The assistant was understandably a little worried.
Just as the assistant was hesitating whether to call Mrs. Fang and ask her to persuade Mr. Fang, Fang Shiyan looked up at the clock in his office and said to the assistant, "You can go out now, I'm going to take a nap."
The assistant immediately replied, "Okay."
Before leaving, the assistant thoughtfully dimmed the office lights.
Fang Shiyan returned to the office lounge, closed his eyes, but still found it difficult to fall asleep.
In recent days, he has tried many methods, including seeing a doctor and taking sleeping pills.
But none of it worked.
He always has recurring dreams.
At first, he couldn't remember the dream after he woke up.
But after doing it many times, he gradually learned to remember some of them.
He dreamt that Wen Yixing married someone else, and they were very loving and happy.
He... was very envious.
Yes, I'm very envious.
But every time he wakes up, he becomes fully awake again.
Wen Yixing is clearly his wife.
How could she possibly marry someone else?
A dream is just a dream.

To comfort her son's wounded heart, Wen Yixing took a day off and took Fang Jingyao to the amusement park.
Although Fang Jingyao couldn't participate in many of the rides, he was still quite happy to go out with his mother. In his memory, it had been many years since he last went to an amusement park with his mother.
Since Wen Yichen didn't have anything to do recently, he decided to follow Wen Yixing and act as her backpack carrier.
After playing all day, Wen Yixing's mood improved a lot.
At noon, they rested on a bench near the dessert station in the amusement park. Wen Yixing was working on her phone when a person dressed as a mascot walked over, carrying a gift bag.
Wen Yixing was called over, talked for a while, and soon returned carrying a gift bag.
The gift bag wasn't small; it contained some toys and three specially made mini ice cream cakes.
Wen Yixing took out the ice cream and asked, "Which one do you want?"
Fang Jingyao laughed: "Mom, you choose first!"
Wen Yixing picked one herself, and Fang Jingyao and Wen Yichen split the remaining two.
The ice cream had a silky smooth texture. Wen Yixing took two bites and then replied to Shen Jingshao: "The ice cream is pretty good."
The reply came quickly: "[How was your time?]"
Wen Yixing: [It's not bad, just a bit hot today.]
Shen Jingshao: [I bought you a hat, remember to wear it.]
The bag next to Wen Yixing contained five different styles of hats. It was probably because Shen Jingshao was unsure what kind she wanted, so he bought several for her to choose from.
Yes, I've already put it on.
Wen Yixing was typing on her phone, while Fang Jingyao, eating ice cream, looked over curiously.
Although he couldn't see clearly what Wen Yixing was doing from his angle, Fang Jingyao had a strange intuition. He shifted his position closer to Wen Yichen and whispered mysteriously, "I feel like my mom has been acting a bit strange lately."
Wen Yichen was silent for a while, then asked, "Is your mother still in contact with your father?"
He was indeed a little worried that his sister might rekindle her relationship with Fang Shiyan.
After all, they've been married for seven or eight years and have a child together.
"Of course not!" Fang Jingyao said confidently, then added somewhat uncertainly, "It should be, it should be not."
Fang Jingyao thought for a moment and made a reasonable guess: "There must be another man pursuing my mother."
Wen Yichen: "?"
Wen Yichen: "You're so young, do you even know what it means to have aspirations?"
Fang Jingyao gave him a look that said, "You just don't understand."
"Of course I know!" Fang Jingyao asked. "Doesn't Uncle understand?"
After saying that, Fang Jingyao inexplicably thought of his uncle in his previous life, who was almost forty years old and still all alone.
He calmly added, "Oh, it seems my uncle has never been in a relationship."
Wen Yichen, who had never been in a relationship, was inexplicably struck by an arrow to the knee. He twitched the corner of his mouth and subtly changed the subject: "If someone really pursued your mother, what would you think?"
Fang Jingyao: "As long as it's not Fang Shiyan, I'm fine with anything!"
“Of course!” Fang Jingyao said, “The premise is that my mother likes him and he has to be good to her, that’s fine.”
Fang Jingyao was no longer a child; he wanted his mother to be happy more than anyone else.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Jingyao suddenly clenched his little fist: "But if you want to marry my mother, you'll have to get past me first."
Wen Yichen nodded: "Yes, they'll have to get past me first."

"Mr. Shen, you've been acting a bit strange lately."
It was midday, and Lu Xing had just returned from filming a variety show abroad. He was thinking of having a few drinks and chatting with his brothers.
As a result, one was late, and the other was always looking down at his phone and chatting with others.
Lu Xingye observed Shen Jingshao for a while before asking, "Tell me honestly, are you in a relationship?"
Lu Xing also leaned over, but Shen Jingshao put his phone down, and Lu Xing didn't see a single word.
The luxurious restaurant was empty except for the two of them. Shen Jingshao subtly changed the subject: "Where is Fang Shiyan?"
Lu Xing also slumped in his chair, saying, "His company has been having some problems lately."
