The Ye Family Manor.
The Ye Family Manor undergoes renovation each year. The villa now has three floors, with an additional small villa and expanded gardens. When Young Master Ye III bought this villa initially, he didn't expect so many people to live there. Back then, it was just him, Cheng Anya, and Ye Ningyuan, making the villa seem spacious enough. With more family members today, Ye Feimo and Warm reside elsewhere, while Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo live in the small villa. Even when everyone gathers occasionally, the space seems sufficient; however, if extended family visits, the villa becomes inadequate.
Thus, renovations occur annually at the Ye Family Manor, which is known as a wealthy district in City A. Among the mansions nearby, the Ye Family Manor stands out for its grandeur and extensive grounds. Cheng Anya loves Spring Festival because it's when their home is most lively, with children returning from wherever they are, relatives visiting, and laughter filling every corner of the house. After Hai Lan passed away, she feared living alone in such a large residence. Therefore, she often invites Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo to stay for a few days, just as they did when they were in America—Ye Ningyuan would bring the children back for several days at a time to spend with Young Master Ye III and Cheng Anya, while they spent most of their time traveling.
Now that Ke Lan has passed away and Feimo and Warm rarely return home, Cheng Anya feels even more desolate seeing the empty rooms. With only her and Young Master Ye III, Ye Ningyuan, and Xu Nuo left in the house, Ye Tianyu hasn't returned since his accident; without Ke Lan and with Feimo and Warm coming back infrequently, the place feels truly deserted.
Previously, even when busy, Feimo would always bring Warm and Xiaotian back for dinner. If time was tight, she'd come alone with the children every day.
After the accident, Feimo only brings Warm and Tianzong home once a week, and Warm no longer returns on her own.
The mansion feels even more desolate.
Especially during Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo's time on Forgetfulness Island when it was just Cheng Anya and Young Master Ye III living in the large house. The villa felt empty, as did her heart. In the past, Ye Wei often envied her for having many children and grandchildren, thinking she had a very fortunate life and felt contented with everything she had. Now, however, she envies Ye Wei because both her son and daughter are well, and her daughter has twin babies, bringing new hope to their family. In contrast, it feels as though the number of people in her own household is gradually diminishing.
Recently, due to lack of sleep at night and worry over the disputes between the Ye and Wen families, she looks somewhat haggard. She usually takes good care of herself but no longer pays attention to養生(maintaining health), as there's no way to reconcile the conflicts within the family.
She doesn't want to see her son and grandson only once a week. She also doesn't want to live in such a big house all by herself.
In the morning, she read the Green Light Daily News and saw that Nuwan and Fei Mo were arguing at the riverbank. Judging from their demeanor, they must have been arguing fiercely. It's been nearly one and a half years since then, but it seems like nothing has changed in their hearts. Nuwan forced herself to smile while Fei Mo was sandwiched between them. Ye Ningyuan felt guilty and apologized, whereas Ye Tianyu didn't want to face the situation. This worried Cheng Anya so much that she had no idea how to discipline Ye Tianyu anymore; if pushed too far, things might get out of hand. But continuing like this isn't a solution either—how could Fei Mo and Nuwan continue on like this And what about their parents
Young Master Ye left in the morning for something and didn't return until ten o'clock. Cheng Anya was playing with Ye Tiancheng in the garden; Tiancheng was having fun, but Cheng Anya looked absent-minded while holding a newspaper, as Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo weren't at home.
"What's wrong" Young Master Ye parked his car and walked over to her. "You seem troubled by something."
Cheng Anya handed him the paper. "Take a look."
Youthful Lord Ye glanced at it, then tossed it aside. "This isn't newsworthy; they've argued before."
Nuwan and Fei Mo have had their fair share of arguments in the past—arguments that occurred even before any issues arose between them. It's normal for couples with differing views to quarrel, but their relationship only grew stronger from it, without any estrangement.
However, over the last year, they've hardly argued at all—not even in front of Young Master Ye. That is what's truly newsworthy.
Cheng Anya was worried, though; Nuwan is a very sensitive person. Back then, when she and Fei Mo had arguments, it could be seen as part of their marriage life. Now that they don't argue anymore, one can only imagine the amount of委屈she must harbor behind closed doors, and how much pain Fei Mo has endured—these are things no one knows about.
Situations like this must have occurred many times over the past year, though they were unaware of it.
"Tianyu is really..." Cheng Anya rubbed her forehead in frustration and fatigue. "Whose personality does he take after When something happens, shouldn't one's first thought be to contact family members Isn't home where one receives comfort the most Why hasn't he called once or even come back home Doesn’t he know how worried we are about him This can’t go on forever."
"Why do you bother yourself so much Ningning and Xu諾自然會操心，哪裡用得著你來管。”葉三少皺眉，語氣有些重，“隨他去吧，我懶得理他，從小就妖裡妖氣的。
Cheng Anya looked at him with a frown. Leaf Three was feeling restless because Cheng Anya had been in low spirits for the past year, and Tianyu's situation directly caused conflicts between the Wen family and the Ye family, indirectly leading to tension between her and Warmth’s mother-in-law. Not only did she avoid warmth, but also this year Cheng Anya met Leaf Tianzong as often as she saw warmth.
If they took Tianzong out somewhere, warmth would naturally not object, yet Cheng Anya rarely made such requests unless she was truly missing her grandson very much.
Cheng Anya gave a cold laugh. "Go ahead and say what you want on the side. Look at how things are now in this house; it's awkward for everyone to eat together."
The third young master of the Ye family suddenly fell silent.
Today, Ye Feimo was in a bad mood all day. He called warmth twice but she didn’t pick up both times, with Tianzong picking up instead; the little guy seemed to be in good spirits and enjoying his time being taken care of by his grandmother. His words were pleasing to hear, and warmth read books at home while accompanying her mother-in-law to entertain their son. The family was harmonious and happy together. Ye Feimo could hear both warmth and Tianzong laughing on the phone, feeling a sense of satisfaction yet also a small hint of regret.
He wondered what thoughts were stirred in warmth today after reading the newspaper, whether she would be upset or if it mattered to her at all.
He can't feel her warmth now. If such a scandal had occurred a year ago, they probably would have clarified it, but now, Warm doesn't even bother to clarify and lets people speculate freely. Does she still care about him
Does she still want to accept the Ye family
He doesn't know.
Warm has suppressed herself for more than a year; if it were to explode now, the consequences would be unimaginable. Can he force her
Ye Feimo was absent-minded all day at work, his mood fluctuating unpredictably, leaving everyone in the secretary's office on tenterhooks, afraid of stepping into forbidden territory. Even Lin Ning didn't provoke Ye Feimo but let him vent his frustrations alone.
However, he never imagined that when it was time to leave work, his phone vibrated with a text message from Warm.
I'm waiting for you downstairs at Anning with my son for dinner.

One additional chapter for over 1000 gold medals, three extra chapters for reaching 1050. What are you waiting for, sisters Hurry up and send your gold medals!o this point."Ruanmian, what a coincidence." Cheng Anya smiled kindly. Ruanmian felt embarrassed, as if afraid others would misunderstand her reasons. She lifted the medicine in her hand and explained...
