âI miss Dad. I canât even go in to keep you company.â In truth, she hadnât slept all night.
She just couldnât sleep, for some reason.
âDad, how are you feeling?â
Song Chuanqi had been confined to his bed for several days. What could he feel lying on a sickbed? But he just smiled, âIâm fine. I could go back to the villa in a couple of days. By then, Iâd love to eat the porridge fed by my daughter.â
âSure Dad, I will feed you whatever you want to eat.â

Separated by a glass window, Ye Xingguang chattered on the phone for nearly half an hour like a joyful squirrel. She was concerned about exhausting her father, so she finally ended the call. Alone, she sat on a bench outside the special ward, unsure of what news to read.
Despite being suspended from work, she still maintained her habit of watching the news and keeping up with current affairs every morning.
In the morning, Han Chengbei brought some health supplements to visit her father. He specifically asked her about the final status of the major scandal. Ye Xingguang found it annoying and ignored Han Chengbei.
Han Chengbei was relatively busy today. He took some time out to visit her father and left after less than fifteen minutes.
Because today, the Presidential Office released a piece of news. The vice president was taken away by the investigation bureau because the police had collected enough evidence, proving that the gas station explosion was related to the vice president. The political bigwig Pan Tenglong had fallen from grace.
Unlike the disgraced Pan Tenglong, good news came from Lawson Perryâs end. It was now clear that the gas station explosion had nothing to do with him. His image in the hearts of the people soared once again. Moreover, he had been elected as the vice president for the next term.
Han Chengbei was in a hurry to congratulate Lawson Perry.
Ye Xingguang lacked any interest in this. In the afternoon, she heard from her mother that her mother-in-law had visited her father at the hospital yesterday. This was the only topic of the day that lightened her mood, so she chatted with her mother for a while longer.@@novelbin@@
Bai Lanwu said, âMake a call for Ye, invite him to dinner tonight. I bought a fish head at the market today. The last time Ye said he wanted to try my pickled pepper fish head, Iâve got the time today, so let him taste my cooking.â

Thinking about the stern womanâs dinner appointment with the major scandal, Ye Xingguang said, âHe might be busy tonight and wonât be able to make it.â
âHow would you know if you donât even call to ask? Just ask first.â
âEven if I ask, heâll definitely be busy.â
Ye Xingguang took out her phone and texted Ye, silently hoping that he would refuse the dinner invitation: [Momâs asking you to come over for pickled pepper fish head tonight.]
Very quickly, Ye responded: [I have to work late tonight, no time.]
Ye Xingguang showed the text message to her mother, âSee, I told you he wouldnât be free tonight. Mom, you donât have to go through all the trouble. Weâre not taking care of Dad anyways, why donât we go out for dinner tonight? Change up the flavor a bit?â
âThat sounds good. Once your dad is out of the special ward, we probably wonât have the time to go out to eat. Letâs go out tonight.â
In the early evening, mother and daughter went out to dinner together. The restaurant was chosen by Bai Lanwu. From the outside, it didnât look like much. But once they entered and meandered through the winding corridors, they found it to be rather elegant.
After being guided to their seats by the waiter, Ye Xingguang got up to use the bathroom. To her surprise, she saw the scandalous figure dining with a woman at another elegant booth, the two of them looking quite pleased with each other.
Her nose twitched uncomfortably at the sight, and she suddenly lost all interest in going to the restroom. Turning around, she approached Bai Lanwu who was in the midst of ordering and said, âMom, letâs eat at a different restaurant, alright?â
