"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a gentle sigh."Forget about it. The Ye family will not allow outsiders to learn about what happened in the past, even if she's your wife. It'll only do her more harm than good to know about my existence, so remember to keep this a secret from her. Besides, don't let Tingting visit your place anymore, to prevent unnecessary troubles."
Meng Shiyao's voice was laced with evident expectancy but she was left with no alternative than to diminish her hopes.
She was fully aware that the Ye family did not want anyone to learn about that particular incident. Otherwise, they would not have announced her death to the public with a fake funeral.
Meng Shiyao had not returned to Jin City for over twenty years since her initial departure. She wished to return but she could not bring herself to do it. She understood too well the influence of the Ye family as well as the way Elder Ye worked.
Back in those days, the yearning to reunite with her son had driven her crazy. More often than not, she would find herself waking up in a pool of tears.
The only thing that she wanted was to see her son again. However, she knew from the moment the Ye family announced the news of her death that seeing her son again became a luxury that she could never afford, perhaps for the rest of her life.
Which was why, eight years prior, it completely caught her by surprise to see her darling son standing in front of her eyes. For a moment she thought she was living in a beautiful dream.
Unquestionably, Elder Ye learned about the meeting and threatened her to never do it again.
Of course, Elder Ye also pressured Ye Lanchen constantly but the latter carried on in his own ways and continued visiting his mother.
It was then that she realized her son had grown up.
How could she compromise again, after witnessing her son's fearless decisions? She knew she could not let her son down and disappoint him again.
After all, she was not the one responsible for that incident that happened years ago.
Since then, her son would visit her often, despite his hectic schedule. He also tried to assist Ruoting in every way he could.
She wished her son all the happiness in the world after learning about his marriage.

Ye Lanchen remained silent. He had always been a man of few words. Besides, he preferred expressing his thoughts through actions.
"Elder Brother, will you really bring Sister-in-law to meet mommy?" Ye Lanchen already hung up the call but Meng Ruoting, on the other hand, seemed still in a daze. ƒ𝚛𝙚𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝙣o𝚟el - 🅽🅽novel
"Yes, " Ye Lanchen replied unexpectedly.
"Aren't you afraid that Sister-in-law will learn about that incident from years ago?" Her brother's decision caught her by surprise. She knew him well and she knew that he was a man of his words. He would fulfill a promise made, no matter what.
"There's no reason to hide anything from her." Ye Lanchen twitched the corners of his lips. They were married; naturally, he would not try to hide his past from her.
However, his mother had a point about now not being the appropriate time. It would not benefit Chu Wuyou to learn about that incident at this stage.
Soon, he would reveal to her every detail of his past.
"That's great, " Meng Ruoting cried out in excitement and she ran forward, intending to embrace her brother.
In the next second, however, Ye Lanchen threw her a cold glance and she quickly paused in her tracks.
"Alright, alright, only Sister-in-law can hug you now." Meng Ruoting stuck out her tongue playfully and a flirtatious smile spread across her face.
"Elder Brother, has Sister-in-law hugged you before?" A hint of light flashed across Meng Ruoting's eyes whilst she posed that question deliberately. The smile on her face became more exaggerated when a shadow veiled his features. Of course, she was a bright person and knew better than to stay in his room for another second longer."I'll retreat to my own room."
Meng Ruoting opened the door, intending to leave.
Simultaneously, the door to Chu Wuyou's room opened too.
Meng Ruoting was stunned for a couple of seconds as she darted her eyes toward the aforementioned direction. Chu Wuyou also looked over at the other woman.
And their eyes met!!!
