Ye Shaoxianâs pitiful state in the photo left Luâs family in shock. They wondered who would dare attack a member of the Ye family.
Lu Qi, retrieving her phone, gestured toward the contracts. âSign these, and I might let you goâon the condition you disappear from my life. Consider it my final repayment for your âparenting.'â
She was ready to sever ties and leave the past behind.
Her stepmother protested, âHow can you be so heartless? Where will we go?â
âWhere you go isnât my problem. Not signing?â Lu Qiâs voice, though hoarse, was firm. âXu Yi, assist them.â

âAh, is that okay? Wonât it trouble him?â Lu Qi blushed, her heart racing at the thought of more opportunities to interact with Lu Congzhou.
Rong Qi arrived at the Ye residence, greeted by Ye Nanshen in the backyard.
âFeeling better?â he asked, wrapping her in a warm embrace.
âMuch,â she replied, her smile genuine.
On a rare sunny day, Ye Nanshen took Rong Qi for a stroll in the garden, leading her to a corner and presenting her with something from behind his back like a treasure..
