At noon, the three members of the family were happy together.

  Shang Yi was very considerate, he tasted every dish on the table and ate more of the ones that suited his taste. He hadn't eaten breakfast, so Gu Xiyan first served him a bowl of fish head soup, and only added rice after he finished drinking the soup.

  "Dad, Yan'er will dance the ballerina dance for Dad to see later." The little girl ate the fish meat that Gu Xiyan had picked out the fish bones from, and opened her mouth with glee.

  "Good." A hint of a smile floated in Shang Yu's narrow and long eyes.

  "Dad, Mom said you'll be coming home to live with us from now on, right?" Little girl asked doubtfully: "Then Yanyan will have to sleep alone again?"

  "Yan'er, don't you like it when Father comes home?" Shang Xi asked.

  "Yan'er likes it when Father is at home, so Yan'er will return Mother to Father, but Father, you must not forget the promise you made to Yan'er, Yan'er really wants...” The little girl almost revealed her and Shang Yue's agreement, fortunately, she remembered in time that Father said this was a secret between them and couldn't let Mother know.

  Gu Xiyan saw Xiaotou stop talking and was puzzled in her heart. What were this father and daughter secretly plotting?

  "Dad hasn't forgotten, so Yanyan shouldn't forget either to keep the promise made to Dad. Otherwise, Dad can't guarantee that he'll be able to fulfill your request." Shang Xi used a bowl to scoop up the shrimp passed over by Gu Xiyen and played Tai Chi with Xiaoyao.

  The little girl's black eyes rolled around and she said happily: "Got it, Dad, Yan'er will be very obedient."

  After dinner, Xiaoyu's dance was affirmed by Shang Yi, which made her happy. Although the dance teacher often praised her, she admired her father and mother the most, and getting their approval was the most important thing.

  In the afternoon, Gu Xiyan had Xiao Yatou go take a nap, while Shang Yueqi, who had recovered his energy, walked several steps towards the study. After coaxing Xiao Yatou to sleep, Gu Xiyan returned to her room and changed into a set of casual clothes. At home, she never liked dressing too formally, and a relaxed and comfortable style was what she loved most.

  Although she didn't get enough sleep last night and this morning, Gu Xiyan doesn't seem to be tired at all. After a pause, she also headed in the direction of the study.

  In the quiet study, Gu Xiyan found a computer book to flip through by the window. The thin and mottled sunlight in the afternoon gently sprinkled on her shoulders and hair ends, with extreme peace and beauty reflected on her body.

  Shang Yi Qi sat at his desk, writing and drawing, occasionally looking up to catch a glimpse of Gu Xi Yan, who was always quietly and gently gazing at the book in her hand, as if it held the splendor of her entire world.

  When Shang Yi raised his head for the last time, Gu Xiyan finally changed her posture. Her head was against the wall covered with high-quality velvet, and her black hair fell on her back, a delicate small face facing the direction of his desk, a pair of beautiful eyes closed tightly.

  He walked up to Gu Xiyan and carefully took the book out of her hand, putting it aside before sweeping her into his arms.

  The sudden warmth made Gu Xiyan let out a comfortable sigh, and she rubbed against Shang Chui's chest, finding the best position for herself.

  He turned around inadvertently and saw a black Audi outside the villa through the window.

  She carried Gu Xiyan to the bed in the bedroom, and when Shang Yi started to put her down, she shrank her body, as if feeling cold. He took off the outer jacket that was covering her, and then covered her with a quilt, she instinctively shrunk into the quilt, and only calmed down after a while.

  He kissed Gu Xian's forehead and went downstairs after turning around.

  Near the villa, I found a coffee shop, and two equally handsome men walked in side by side.

  There were not many customers in the cafe at this time. They chose a window seat and sat down facing each other.

  Wei Zhe ordered two lattes and Shang Yi Qi didn't object.

  "Business lawyer, I've long admired you. I am Wei Zhe." Seeing the calm and composed demeanor of the man in front of him, a sense of crisis suddenly surged up in Wei Zhe's heart - this man was unfathomable.

  "Shang Yi Qi, Wei Zong, I've long admired you." Shang Yi Qi responded indifferently.

  "Merchant lawyer, let's not beat around the bush. Today we only talk about Yan Yan." Stirring his coffee with a spoon, Wei Zhe looked at Shang Keqi and asked in a pressing tone: "I want to know, is Merchant Lawyer willing to set Yan Yan free?"

  When he threw out this question, Wei Zhe's heart was completely uncertain. To get to the bottom of it, Yan and this man were legally husband and wife, while he was just holding onto the title of Yan's first love, which was nothing but a past tense.

  Shang Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he glanced at Wei Zhe, but it was gone in an instant, leaving Wei Zhe unable to get a good look before Shang Yi returned to normal.

  He took a light sip of his coffee, and Shang Yi slightly raised an eyebrow, his expression cold and detached: "Director Wei is joking, how could Director Wei ask such a thing? I have a good relationship with Xi, where does this talk of giving Xi freedom come from?"

  "So that means Attorney Shang won't be divorcing Yan Yan?" When Wei Zhe heard the words "very good relationship", his heart skipped a beat, and his right hand under the table clenched into a fist.

  Shang Yue didn't respond, and the answer was beyond doubt.

  Wei Zhe finally collapsed under the piercing gaze of Kai Tan. The coffee shop was playing soothing light music, and Wei Zhe suddenly shifted his focus to the floor-to-ceiling window outside.

  "Would you like to hear the story of me and Yan Yan?" Just then, a young couple walked by outside the floor-to-ceiling window, leaning into each other in a sweet embrace. Before Shang could respond, Wei Zhe had already begun speaking in a low, gentle voice that wove together with the music flowing through the hall, drawing out a delicate and lingering tenderness: "To be honest, many of my first experiences were shared with Yan Yan. The first time I stayed up late to watch the stars with her on the rooftop, just because she said she had always been alone when she was young and never had anyone to accompany her. The first time we played at an amusement park on a cold winter's day, when it was still snowing outside, and I saw her laugh so freely for the first time, like a child who refused to grow up. Our first kiss, our first dance, our first time eating late-night snacks on that crowded street...".

  "The year I met Yan, I was a senior in college, and she had just started her sophomore year. Sometimes fate is really a wonderful thing - with just one glance, I knew I had found Yan. From then on, I always found excuses to appear by her side.

  Wei Zhe's eyes were filled with nostalgic thoughts: "For me, it was easy to learn about her situation. There was even a period of time when I frantically read through the information collected by my subordinates every day, just so I could know more about her. Yan is a kind and simple girl, sometimes you can say she's naive. Later, after learning about her living environment, I realized where her carefree spirit came from. Yan was an adopted child."

  Adoption? Business is hard to come by and surprising.

  They've been married for so many years, she had long ago made it clear that she was an orphan, he respected her, so he never investigated. Now it seems that her background is actually shrouded in mystery.

  "Business lawyer, perhaps you are not aware that Yan Yan had very few truly happy moments since childhood. Yan Yan's adoptive parents also have a son and a daughter of their own. According to the information I found, Yan Yan's adoptive mother had a difficult delivery when giving birth to her eldest son and was later diagnosed with infertility. They wanted a daughter, so they adopted Yan Yan from somewhere. At first, Yan Yan lived quite well, but later on, it was discovered that Yan Yan's adoptive mother, who was previously infertile, became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to a daughter. The difference in treatment between the biological and adopted children gradually emerged."

  As a surge of intense sadness welled up inside him, Wei Zhe's voice also turned desolate: "Business lawyer, if Yan Yan's family circumstances were not like that, she would not have left so resolutely back then. I've told myself countless times that Yan Yan is the woman I love, and I want to spend my second half of life giving her a home filled with warmth, safety, and happiness without any pain. But before I could do it, fate cruelly pushed her away from me. How can I be at peace?"

  "Director Wei, is there anything else to say? I still have something to do." Shang Kai glanced at the wall clock in the coffee shop, his face expressionless, but his mind was already racing.

  "Business lawyer, I'm telling you this because I hope you can think carefully about your marriage to Yan. If you only married her for the sake of your daughter and there's no love between you two, then I hope you'll divorce her. And regardless of what you decide, I won't give up." The coffee in Wei Zhe's cup had cooled down a bit, but he still hadn't taken a sip.

  "Wei Zong is really fond of joking." Shang Qi suddenly stood up facing the floor-to-ceiling window, his low voice carrying a bone-chilling coldness: "My wife doesn't allow others to have designs on her. And I believe she absolutely won't want to start over with Wei Zong again. We will soon have our first child of our own."
