The family lay on the sofa, watching "Boonie Bears" with Keke.
"What's wrong, wife? Are you in a bad mood?" Ye Yun finally broke the silence.
Was she in a bad mood?
Hearing this, Li Mengyao was on the verge of tears.
How could she be in a good mood?
Her husband was practically about to be snatched away, and now he was asking her this, was he planning to lay it all out and fly away with Wang Wenwen?
To be honest, Li Mengyao really wanted to smash the fruit on the coffee table into Ye Yun's face and point at his nose, calling him a scumbag with another woman!
But Li Mengyao knew she couldn't.
Because once she did that, their family would surely break apart.
And Keke would inevitably become a child of a single parent, which was unfair to their daughter.
Li Mengyao was a traditional and sensible woman. For Ye Yun and Keke, as long as she could ensure her husband and daughter lived happily, she could endure any hardship.
Now that Ye Yun clearly had another woman, one of whom was Wang Weiguo's granddaughter, and he himself was a honored guest of Mayor Wu, it was not appropriate for her to think too much when she was with such a man.
Li Mengyao could only comfort herself this way.
Despite the myriad of sorrows in her heart, Li Mengyao didn't show it on her face. She forced a smile and said,
"What are you thinking? You haven't been home these past few days, so I slept with Keke. The little one has been very restless lately, and I haven't slept well. Are, are you unhappy? I, I'll go fetch you some hot water for your feet."
"No, no, no, no need," Ye Yun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I was just asking casually, I'm not unhappy."
However, a shadow of gloom enveloped his heart.
His wife's behavior was too strange. Had something happened recently?
Suddenly.
"Boonie Bears" went into a commercial break, and little Keke randomly pressed the remote, switching to another channel.
As luck would have it, it was a scene from a costume drama that Wang Wenwen had filmed in the past.
On the television, Wang Wenwen, dressed in Hanfu, was flying in mid-air, suspended by wires, exuding an ethereal charm.
"Daddy, Mommy, look! It's Aunt Wenwen! Aunt Wenwen is so beautiful!" Keke's eyes were immediately captivated, and she quickly called Ye Yun and Li Mengyao over to watch.
Aunt Wenwen?
Li Mengyao's heart skipped a beat, then she looked at the big screen, somewhat lost.
So... so beautiful.
As expected of a big star, she was incredibly beautiful.
In front of Wang Wenwen, Li Mengyao always felt a sense of inferiority.
Especially in dramas, actors' costumes were meticulously crafted.
Li Mengyao felt even more inadequate.
Especially seeing the genuine smile on Keke's face when talking about Wang Wenwen.
Li Mengyao's heart ached even more.
She even wondered if, after breaking the ice with Ye Yun, she would even abandon her most cherished Keke.
And she would be left all alone!
Ye Yun had no idea of Li Mengyao's inner turmoil.
He smiled and stroked Keke's head.
"Then, let's have Aunt Wenwen come over to our house more often to play with Keke, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Keke's mouth watered at the thought of Wang Wenwen's appearance on TV.
Come over more...
To our house?
To play with Keke???
Li Mengyao's heart twitched.
Had Ye Yun truly decided to confront her, and even planned to snatch Keke away from her?
And that channel just now, wasn't it Keke who pressed it, but Ye Yun who deliberately changed it?
He didn't want to appear too heartless, yet he wanted to make her see everything.
The purpose was to give Li Mengyao a show of strength?
As for inviting Wang Wenwen to their house more often, it was not hard to understand?
The new mistress coming to the door to kick out the old one!
It was laughable, Ye Yun, who was invincible in the business world and even dared to fleece Wu Xinmin.
At this moment, in front of Li Mengyao, he was as pure as a little white sheep!
"No... you, you guys be happy."
Subconsciously, Li Mengyao wanted to refuse, but the words were swallowed back.
In those dramas, rich people almost always won custody battles.
She, a commoner, knowing and having nothing, how could she compete with a wealthy heiress like Wang Wenwen?
If things fell apart, it meant she would be kicked out immediately.
So she could only agree, her aim being to spend a few more days with her child.
Even hoping that day would never come.
Suddenly.
Li Mengyao's hair stood on end because a little mischievous hand was placed in an inappropriate spot.
She looked over and saw that the owner of the mischievous hand was seriously watching television with their daughter, chatting animatedly.
However, that damn hand was not still at all.
It lightly wrote two words in her palm:
Meeting!
Meeting? Meeting!
Li Mengyao's eyes lit up, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.
Yes.
She wasn't completely without anything. She could still have a meeting with Ye Yun.
Although she knew the chances of success were slim, Li Mengyao still wanted to use her body to keep Ye Yun.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to enjoy wealth and luxury. To be honest, she had been with Ye Yun for so many years. Apart from the past few months, she had lived hand-to-mouth most of the time.
Therefore, in essence, she was not a vain woman at all.
All she wanted was her husband and child, a harmonious family, nothing more.
With this thought, the usually shy Li Mengyao suddenly mustered her courage and began to tease Ye Yun instead.
And this scene was all kept from Ye Keke, who was less than twenty centimeters away, watching the cartoon with a serious expression.
Ye Yun was also taken aback by Li Mengyao's boldness.
In the past, Li Mengyao was shy and reserved, even during their "meetings."
However, Ye Yun was naturally delighted and responded enthusiastically.
Under this "collusion."
Soon.
Li Mengyao urged Keke to go to bed.
And just as the couple was about to continue their "meeting."
Ye Yun's phone rang.
The couple, who were in high spirits, suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over them, instantly extinguishing their ardor.
"Ah? It's so late, who's calling you?" Li Mengyao asked.
However, her heart sank. Could it be another vixen calling?
"It's the secretary!"
Seeing the caller ID, Ye Yun gritted his teeth in annoyance.
How could Zhao Han, his secretary, do this? Didn't she know not to disturb the boss at night?
He then answered the call.
"Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Ah, Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry, so sorry! I thought you were still paying attention to the online opinions. The internet is in an uproar, and many people are now attacking Wang Wenwen's family background!" Zhao Han exclaimed from the other end of the line, then quickly explained.
"Calling me this late at night just to say this? Don't you have any common sense!" Ye Yun said angrily.
"Mr. Ye, this..." Zhao Han stammered.
Was this a small matter?
With all the online clamor, if it wasn't resolved, even Elder Wang would be dragged down.
No matter how inexperienced she was, she knew that even the best company could easily become a target for criticism when someone like Elder Wang was involved.
