and downs. Yet, for her child’s sake, she persevered with remarkable strength—what an admirable woman! She is strong-willed, resolute, tough yet gentle, truly heart-rending.In her warm-hearted wishes,...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO

Ye Tianyu and Ye Ke Lan burst into laughter, even Cheng An Ya couldn't help but giggle. She had long felt that this was necessary; she had always been curious about how Nuo Mo's personality developed.

Naturally resembling an old man.

"It's genetics," Ye Nuo Mo huffed.

Young Master Three glanced at him sideways, "Don't blame everything on genetics. My genes are excellent; just look at my older brother to see. There's no way it could be genetic when we don't have anyone like you in the family."

"Grandpa," Ye Tianyu said from the side, "It should be Mommy’s doing that Daddy turned out this way by age seven. It has nothing to do with you."

Young Master Three glared at him; Ye Tianyu smiled charmingly, resembling a young version of Ye Ningyuan. Cheng An Ya raised her thumb in praise towards Ye Tianyu, saying he was the most objective and deserved commendation.

Ye Ke Lan pondered curiously, "Daddy grew up as a single parent, so it's Mommy’s doing that Daddy turned out this way; Uncle Two wasn't lacking in love or calcium, raised by both Grandpa and Grandma. If that’s the case… Grandpa, you have an irrefutable responsibility."

Cheng An Ya also began to look down on Young Master Three, as expected, it was his problem.

Young Master Three kicked silent Cool Guy Ye Nuo Mo; Cheng An Ya said, "This deeply illustrates the importance of character development later in life. Look at how every one of them wants their father. Ningning is who I raised him to be, so he resembles me."

"Hold on," Young Master Three corrected her, "Xiao Bai doesn’t resemble his father at all, nor does he resemble Weiwei."

Parents indeed have a significant impact on their children; Ye Tianyu is like a young version of Ye Ningyuan, and Moyao resembles Mo Ye. Nuo Mo bears no resemblance to him whatsoever; when he was young, he wasn't as introverted.

"Little Uncle…" Ye Ke Lan contemplated thoughtfully, "Uncle Wushuang said that Little Uncle was accidentally picked up by Grandma in place of someone else."

"It's possible," thought Ye Sanshao, finding this scenario quite plausible. He then glanced sideways at Ye Feimo and said, "I also think it’s necessary to investigate the other children born around the same time as us; maybe we were switched at birth too."

Ye Feimo sat there idly while listening to his father's complaints.

Ying Yuan and Xu Nuo couldn't stop laughing upon hearing this exchange. Ying Yuan also felt that his younger brother had always been rather peculiar from a young age. Ye Tianyu then said, "Second Uncle has always been like this since he was little, so it’s not due to later environmental influences—so it's not Grandpa's fault."

Just as Ye Sanshao was about to praise the boy for his understanding, Ye Tianyu continued, "So it must be innate; Second Uncle is completely right. It’s genetic inheritance. Since Grandma is so adorable and sunny, of course she can’t be the source of this trait—so Grandpa still has some responsibility."

"Big Brother*, you're so smart!"

Ye Sanshao remained silent; no matter how they put it, they were still talking about genetic inheritance. Alright, he would reluctantly admit there was a connection to genetics, but surely the gene had mutated somewhere along the line—hence his existence.

The family chatted leisurely until dinnertime approached. Ying Yuan and Xu Nuo prepared an extravagant hot pot feast; it felt very comfortable eating this way in such weather. However, Ye Feimo was thinking of a warm meal instead.

Ye Feimo and Tianyu didn’t eat spicy food, so Ying Yuan had prepared a dual-flavor hot pot. As soon as Ye Feimo’s chopsticks reached for the spicy side, Cheng Anya tapped him lightly and said, "What's wrong with you today You seem distracted."

Ying Yuan glanced at him and remarked, "He must have broken up with someone."

Ye Sanshao nodded; that made sense. Ningning’s observation was the closest to his own thoughts.

Ye Feimo could really hold back—he didn’t interrupt Ye Sanshao or Ying Yuan even when they were discussing him, choosing instead to focus on eating his hot pot meal. No matter how long the father and son talked about it, he remained silent until finally, they stopped talking.

During dinner, Ying Yuan mentioned that he would be moving back next year to settle down. Cheng Anya was delighted by this news. Ye Sanshao frowned and said, "You’re retiring so soon"

To come back early just to be a third wheel is really annoying.

He still wanted to spend a few more years enjoying himself with Anya, but to be honest, he really missed his family.

"Yes, let's give it to Kaka first. Tianyu can take over after a few years."

"Dad, I could take over now," Ye Tianyu said, his still somewhat immature face carrying the gentle smile of a gentleman, with hints of magnanimity and determination in his eyes.

Cheng Anya said, "No way!"

The Third Young Master Ye and Xu Nuo also disagreed. Ye Ningyuan said, "Let's train for a few years first. Let Kaka take over now; you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Tianyu nodded, though he was slightly disappointed. He had no objections.

Ye Feimo said, "Since I've come back to settle down here in An Ning, you should..."

"Hold it...," Ye Ningyuan laughed, interrupting him, "Don't be so unbrotherly; starting next year, I'll just wait around for handouts. You take care of the business properly, and I don’t have any interest in commerce."

Ye Feimo snorted coldly while Cheng Anya said, "Yes, Ningning needs a rest, no arguments from Feimo."

Ningning had been living too tensely over these past twenty years with tremendous pressure; it was time for him to enjoy life. Besides, he wasn't necessarily better suited to be the CEO of An Ning International than Feimo.

After eating a hotpot dinner at the Ye family home, Ye Feimo returned.

On his way back, Han Bi called him and said with a smile, "Feimo, where are you I'm bringing your watch over."

Ye Feimo pulled over to the side of the road, rolled down his car window; cold winds rushed in, making the man’s already rugged features appear even colder, as if chiseled by an ice axe. His eyes were deep like a dark abyss, with no bottom visible.

wristwatch...

That wristwatch.

He thought back to many things, to his past with Han Bi, the years he had deliberately gotten close to her, deliberately lived in the memories of their past, and deliberately not forgotten her.

Was it for Han Bi or for that youthful love of his own He wasn't sure.

But now, all these things were hurting Warmth.

If he continued to糾纏 with Han Bi, the harm done to Warmth would only be greater.

"Fei Mo, why aren’t you saying anything What’s wrong Do you feel unwell" asked Han Bi worriedly. Her voice was soft and gentle, making people feel very comfortable.

Ye Feimo narrowed his eyes; from when had this voice no longer lingered in his dreams

"Han Bi, keep that wristwatch. I don’t want it," Ye Feimo said woodenly, causing Han Bi's entire body to tremble as if the weather in December had frozen her solid. This wristwatch… he didn't want it

Ye Feimo’s gaze was fixed on the distant road, lights flickering; his eyes were cold and firm, resolute: "This wristwatch originally belonged to you before I received it from you. Saying that I don’t want it isn’t right either. It should go back to its original owner."

Han Bi murmured in pain, “Return to the original owner, Fei Mo; do you really want to cut ties with me so thoroughly Even returning the wristwatch you received from me is too cruel, okay”

I wanted to ask a deep question: Have any of my ex-wife's sisters read "A Billionaire’s Wife Comes With One Free" It features Fei Mo's parents and a bunch of strong men and women; it's very melodramatic and classic. Advertizing with hands over face, moving on.

Go watch “Billionaire”! The prequel to the ex-wife story.ing went downstairs.Lin Ning had already left; Cai Xiaojing was tidying up."Have you eaten Let's eat together and then go to the photography studio." said Cai Xiaojing. Warming nodded, since she woke...
