As Ye Fei grew stronger, her initial sense of confusion faded.
However, her unwavering support for him had become a habit. In her relatively simple heart, as long as Ye Fei continued to treat her as well as he did now, nothing else mattered.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi went downstairs, just as Liu Yiru and Lin Ling had finished preparing the meal.
It was true that mood and appetite were closely related.
Although it was just a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, and they hadn’t even tasted them yet, Ye Fei already felt like this was the best meal he had ever had in his life.
The four of them sat down at the dining table together. Ye Yunqi asked curiously, "Mom, why haven’t Siqi and Siyao come back yet?"
Liu Yiru smiled and said, "Now that Siqi has taken over the management of the company, and things are busy at the moment, she’ll probably be staying at the company more often. As for Siyao, her martial arts school is planning to expand, so she’s also very busy."
"Wow, our sisters are so amazing! They’ve become real career women," Ye Yunqi said with admiration.
Liu Yiru smiled slightly and asked, "What about you?"

Ye Yunqi scratched her head and laughed, "I don’t want to be a career woman. I’d rather just stay by your side for life and live off you."
Ye Fei was inwardly delighted, thinking that fate was truly on his side. He had been wondering how to get his three elder sisters out of the way, but it turned out they were all busy with their own affairs.
He asked, "What about Third Sister? It’s almost the weekend. When is she coming back?"
"Missing your sister?" Liu Yiru chuckled.
"But you might have to wait a while to see her. I heard she signed up for some expedition team and went to a remote area for research. She left yesterday and won’t be back for a month."
Ye Fei was taken aback and quickly said, "She’s just a girl. What if she gets into trouble out there?"
Ye Yunqi couldn’t help but giggle, "Bro, you really are silly. With Third Sister’s skills, I bet she could take on all the boys in her school at once. So, I think you should worry more about those boys who might have bad intentions towards her."
"You’re right," Ye Fei laughed awkwardly, realizing he had been overly worried. He had been so focused on protecting the women he loved that he had forgotten they were all more than capable of taking care of themselves.
After dinner, the four of them sat in the living room and watched TV for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Yiru looked at Lin Ling and said, "Ling, you can stay with Yunqi tonight..."
She stopped abruptly, remembering that her daughter was a troublemaker who would probably encourage Lin Ling to sneak into Ye Fei’s room in the middle of the night.
Although she had come to terms with the idea, the thought of Ye Fei and Lin Ling being together still made her uncomfortable. She decided to indulge her selfishness for now and continued, "No, you two should come to my room. We’ll sleep together, and I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Sure," the two girls agreed happily. However, when Liu Yiru wasn’t looking, they both made a funny face at Ye Fei and gave him a meaningful glance, suggesting that he should take care of his own needs.
Back in the room, Ye Fei lay down and couldn’t help but smile again.
Although he had missed out on the opportunity to be with both Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling, it didn’t dampen his spirits. There would be plenty of chances in the future.
Missing out today meant he might have to wait longer to understand Liu Yiru’s true feelings.
But Ye Fei was definitely not the type to let his desires go unfulfilled. Although the two girls were out of the picture for now, he had other options.
Thinking that he needed to discuss the banquet with Ye Ningsuan, he decided to visit her tonight.
After waiting for a while and feeling that the three women had fallen asleep, Ye Fei quietly got up, slipped out of his bedroom window without a sound, and vanished from the Liu family villa like a wisp of smoke.
He sprinted across the city, taking only ten minutes to cross the vast metropolis of Wang Hai from the eastern suburbs to the western suburbs.
Standing in front of Ye Ningsuan’s villa, he noticed that the light in her bedroom was still on, so he decided to surprise her.
With a light leap, he cleared the high wall and landed silently outside Ye Ningsuan’s window.
Peering through the glass, he saw her sitting at the small table by her bed, head down, seemingly writing something. She appeared to be working.
It’s often said that men are most charming when they’re focused on their work, but Ye Fei found that women could be equally captivating.
He had always seen Ye Ningsuan as passionate and bold, and this was the first time he had seen her so concentrated.
The quiet dignity she exuded made him hesitant to disturb her.
After a while, Ye Ningsuan stopped writing, tidied up her desk, and took out a photo from behind the lamp. She stared at it wistfully, a sweet smile spreading across her face. After a moment, she sighed softly, "I miss you so much."
Outside, Ye Fei was deeply touched. The photo in Ye Ningsuan’s hand was of him.
Although he had known for a long time that Ye Ningsuan was devoted to him, seeing this still moved him.
He quietly slipped into her room, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and whispered softly, "Ningsuan, I’m here."
"Who!"
Startled by the sudden embrace, Ye Ningsuan instinctively asked, but the familiar feel of the arms around her quickly told her who it was. She leaned back into his embrace and asked, "Why did you come?"
"I missed you," Ye Fei replied, not wanting to lie but happy to use sweet words to make her smile.
Ye Ningsuan turned around, wrapped her arms around Ye Fei, and buried her head in his chest.
She said softly, "I was just about to come find you. I’ve already prepared everything for the banquet. Are you really coming this weekend?"
"Probably not," Ye Fei shook his head.
"But you promised," Ye Ningsuan pouted, a little upset. "You’re not going to back out, are you?"
"Of course not," Ye Fei explained his plan to her without hiding anything.
"I see," Ye Ningsuan smiled.
"Then I support you. At least we won’t have to sneak around in front of Yiru anymore. As for the banquet, I’ll just postpone it until the end of the year. And this time, you really can’t miss it."
"Deal," Ye Fei agreed, then asked, "What do you think of my plan?"
"The plan is good, but you’re really something, coming up with such a scheme to deceive people, especially Yiru," Ye Ningsuan scolded him playfully while her hand sneaked into his pants.
After spending some more time with the exhausted Ye Ningsuan until she fell asleep, Ye Fei got up and left her villa. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay with her until she woke up; it was just that time was pressing. He had to make every arrangement before his plan could proceed.
He first went to the Wang Hai Building, only to find that Liu Fengyi had already gone to bed. Not wanting to disturb her, he sent her a text message explaining everything.
Then he called Liu Junyi, who was still in the capital.
Liu Junyi was supposed to return in a few days, but there had been some disagreements about the rewards and punishments for her recent mission, so she had to stay in the capital a little longer.
After a long, affectionate conversation on the phone, they reluctantly said goodbye.
Now there was only one crucial person left in the plan—Dongfang Ruolan.
The success of tomorrow depended on her. So Ye Fei hurried to the military district to discuss everything with her in person.
