********** ... He Yi shook his head with a helpless smile. Seeing her boyfriend's reaction, Wei Han immediately knew it was a done deal! Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to bring her boyfriend home. However, they were both seniors now, with almost no classes in their final semester, and they were facing internships. She was afraid that they wouldn't be able to handle the differences between work and school, and that they would eventually break up . It wasn't that she was overthinking things; she just tended to consider things more thoroughly. "Okay, things are resolved as you wished. How about we go eat?" He Yi looked helplessly at his girlfriend, who was sometimes childlike and sometimes overly mature, holding her hand tightly—it was so sweet. "Hehe, let's eat! I want spicy hot pot and soup dumplings!" Wei Han happily raised her hand like a child, letting her boyfriend look at her with a helpless, tolerant smile. On the newly opened campus, passing students just smiled knowingly; this kind of thing happened often, and they were used to it. Senior year was easy for Wei Han, but also busy. She had almost no classes and spent her days idly at home. But she was also busy looking for an internship . When she was really bored, she would go out on dates with He Yi, shopping and eating. "Why are you treating me to Busan cuisine today?" Wei Han asked curiously, placing her favorite pork belly on the table, looking at her boyfriend who seemed to have something to say. "Ahem, I have something to announce today." He Yi glanced at the curious Wei Han, deliberately not finishing his story at once. "Hey! Tell me already, what are you beating around the bush for? I'll beat you up!" Wei Han waved the barbecue tongs in her hand, jokingly threatening her boyfriend. "So rough..." He Yi muttered softly, eliciting a roar from Wei Han. "He Yi!" "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I found an internship!" He Yi said, followed by three seconds of silence. Wei Han's expression went from indifference to surprise, then from surprise to excitement—it was truly remarkable! "Really? What kind of job is it? I never heard you went for interviews!" Wei Han was naturally excited; she hadn't expected her boyfriend to find an internship so quickly, which meant he was quite capable ! "I'm an engineering assistant. You know I studied architectural design, so this is exactly what I need." Wei Han nodded as she listened, completely unaware of her boyfriend's constant hints, until He Yi realized they completely ineffective. "Wei Han, I've found a job. When can I come over?" He Yi's sudden question startled Wei Han, who recovered after a moment. "Don't rush me. I told you, we'll take you when we find one. But I haven't found one yet , so not yet—!" Wei Han happily picked up a slice of grilled meat, wrapped it in lettuce, and ate it, completely ignoring He Yi's utter collapse on the table beside her. "Wei Han..." A plaintive groan came from beside her. Wei Han shrugged and continued enjoying her meal. Calm down, calm down, nothing is more important than meat! Wei Han chuckled inwardly, watching her boyfriend once again give her a speechless, resentful look. After finishing her meal, insisting that her boyfriend not drive her home, Wei Han boarded the bus but immediately got off at the next stop, hailed a taxi, and finally felt at ease going home. In the taxi, Wei Han unconsciously sighed. It wasn't that she didn't want to introduce her boyfriend to her parents, nor was she intentionally deceiving him. But how could she tell him that she actually lived in a high-end villa area, that her parents were worth over a hundred million, and that she was the "rich second generation" he always talked about? Because her parents wanted her to grow up normally, she always thought of herself as an ordinary , living in an ordinary old apartment, until middle school when she learned that it was all her parents' good intention. From then on, she developed the habit of not mentioning her family situation. From middle school to high school and even into university, probably only her homeroom teacher knew about her background. She had never intended to deceive anyone; it was just a habit she'd developed. But now, suddenly revealing it would only be seen as deception, wouldn't it? Wei Han sighed again, slowly getting out of the car amidst the driver's envious gaze . She strolled leisurely past the entrance of the residential complex, then wandered into the house as the security guard opened the gate. "Wei Han, why are you running straight to your room as soon as you get back?" Xia Zhiqi called out to his daughter as soon as he saw her return and heading straight for her room. Wei Han then came to her senses and noticed that besides her parents, a somewhat familiar woman was sitting in the living room. "Wei Han, come here quickly, come and meet your aunt." Li Meixi immediately beckoned her daughter over, wanting her husband's sister to meet her niece whom she hadn't seen for many years. Wei Han suddenly realized why she seemed so familiar; this was her only aunt. She remembered her father saying ten years ago that she had gotten married, and she hadn't seen her since. It wasn't surprising that she had forgotten her so quickly. "Hello, Auntie." Wei Han immediately stepped forward and greeted her obediently. Upon closer inspection, she realized that her aunt was very beautiful, just like a classical beauty sitting quietly now. "Wei Han? I didn't expect you to have grown so much and become more and more beautiful."

Xia Lanqin looked at the girl in front of her. She was so beautiful and eye-catching, especially when she smiled with
sweet dimples. She believed that no matter how bad her mood was, seeing her would make her smile.

As she looked at her, an absurd idea suddenly popped into her head.

Chapter 2 Shameless Demand

for Praise Wei Han was naturally happy, but for some reason, Xia Lanqin's gaze made her feel a little scared.

"Is Wei Han in university now? What school?"

Xia Lanqin herself didn't have children and was a little envious of her brother for having such a beautiful daughter.

"I'm already in university, at Fudan University. But I'm a senior now, almost graduating."

Wei Han obediently answered every question Xia Lanqin asked. She found that her aunt was a gentle woman and couldn't help
but feel guilty for having thought her aunt was scary earlier.

"A senior, it's time for an internship, right? Didn't you arrange one for her, brother?"

"I did arrange one. I meant to get her a job at a company, starting as an assistant. But this
little girl just doesn't want to, insisting on finding a job on her own!"

Xia Zhiqi was also helpless about this. He wondered if it was because his upbringing was too successful, but his daughter just didn't
like relying on her family, which was giving him a bit of a headache.

"I think our daughter's idea is great, to go out and explore and learn on her own,"

Li Meixi said, unlike her husband. She felt it was good for children to go out and experience things for themselves.

Seeing her parents disagreeing on the matter again, Wei Han shrugged helplessly.
Xia Lanqin saw this, and when Wei Han met her eyes, she smiled helplessly, looking quite comical and cute, which made Xia Lanqin
smile involuntarily as well.

After chatting with her parents and aunt for a while, Wei Han remembered that she hadn't called her boyfriend to let him know she was safe, so she immediately made an excuse to
leave.

Xia Lanqin watched Wei Han go upstairs, making sure she couldn't hear their conversation, before looking seriously at her brother and
sister-in-law .

"Brother, I have something to say."

Seeing that she had suddenly become serious, the Xia couple immediately stopped laughing and
waited what she had to say.

"Lanqin, we're family. Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush,"

Li Meixi encouraged her sister-in-law, seeing that she seemed to have something difficult to hide. Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years
, her connection with them was unbreakable.

"Sister-in-law, you probably already know. Xingwei and I don't get along. That's why I've never
come back . The whole reason is that. Our marital discord is known throughout high society,"

Xia Lanqin said with a bitter smile, feeling powerless about her relationship with her husband. There was no doubt that she loved him, but he
only felt disgust towards her.

Xia Zhiqi and Li Meixi could only smile bitterly at this. Although they knew a little about it, they couldn't interfere.

Back then, Xia Lanqin's parents strongly opposed her marriage to Zhao Xingwei. It wasn't that they thought Zhao Xingwei
was unworthy of Xia Lanqin, but rather that they couldn't believe their daughter would do something so immoral. In
a fit of anger, they threatened to sever ties and almost never wanted to see this daughter of the Xia family again; the matter had caused quite
a stir .

In recent years, their parents have also moved to Switzerland to retire. As people get older, they think more, which is why they
gradually grew closer to Xia Lanqin again.

"Sigh, Lanqin, we really can't say anything about this."

Li Meixi said helplessly. It's hard for an honest official to judge family matters; they really can't interfere.

"I understand. I know he has many women outside, but I can't control it."

Xia Lanqin lowered her head sadly, thinking about her husband's constant scandals. He never hid them, or
rather, he did it on purpose.

"Actually, there's something I've never told you. I... can't get pregnant..."

After Xia Lanqin finished speaking, Li Meixi and Xia Zhiqi were stunned. They had always thought that Zhao Xingwei didn't want children,
never imagining that it was their sister who couldn't get pregnant.

"How... how could this be?"

Xia Zhiqi was somewhat astonished, his voice trembling slightly, too shocked by this.

"You know what happened back then. I took too much medication, and the doctor said... I can't
get pregnant ."

Xia Lanqin didn't regret her past actions, only that she shouldn't have taken so much medication. If it weren't for that,
she could have used a child to keep her husband, and she wouldn't have had to...

"Then... then do you want us to help you?"

Li Meixi was also a mother; she knew the pain of not being able to conceive. She asked cautiously, afraid of touching
that wound.

"I... I want to find a surrogate."

Xia Lanqin blurted out through gritted teeth, expecting a scolding, but to her surprise, her brother and sister-in-law only
gasped in astonishment and then fell silent.

"Surrogacy? Sigh, that's the only way. I never thought... sigh..."

Li Meixi sighed, her eyes dimming. Seeing his wife like this, Xia Zhiqi immediately took her hand.
Feeling her husband's warmth, Li Meixi gave an apologetic, bitter smile.

"Then what kind of surrogate mother do you want?"

Knowing his wife couldn't continue with this question, Xia Zhiqi asked his only sister on her behalf.

Upon hearing this, Xia Lanqin finally showed her most troubled expression, seemingly unsure of what to say.

"What's wrong? Since you've already decided to find someone, there's no need to feel ashamed anymore. Can't you even
tell us about this?"

Xia Zhiqi thought his sister was too embarrassed to speak, so he tried to encourage her to say it.

"I... I want Wei Han to be a surrogate."

"What?!"

Chapter 3 Poor Aunt

"Big brother, I want Wei Han to be a surrogate. Wei Han is beautiful and smart, and I believe her child will be
smart too."

Xia Lanqin decided to take a gamble, even if her suggestion went against morality.

"Shut up!"

Xia Zhiqi couldn't listen anymore; he couldn't believe Xia Lanqin would say such a thing.

"Big brother, I'm serious. Wei Han is my niece, and her child shares the same blood as me, which is why I
can love the child as if it were my own."

As Xia Lanqin spoke, she knelt down, willing to do anything to win back her husband.

"Slap!" Xia Zhiqi was furious and slapped her.

"Say one more word and I'll sever all ties with you!"

Xia Lanqin remained kneeling, her fair face bearing bright red handprints, tears streaming down her face involuntarily.

"Honey, don't be like this, calm down." Li Meixi immediately pulled her husband back. "Lanqin
was just saying it; she was just panicking. I understand how she feels. Don't be so impulsive."

With his wife's persuasion, Xia Zhiqi slowly calmed down and was half-forced to sit down.

Xia Lanqin just cried; she didn't know what to do, she was at her wit's end.

"I know I shouldn't say this, but I really don't know what to do, I really don't know what to do
!"

Xia Lanqin could no longer hold back and collapsed onto the sofa, sobbing.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiqi and Li Meixi couldn't bear to scold her anymore. Li Meixi helped her up, and
Xia leaned against her, crying uncontrollably. For so many years, she had endured it all alone.

Ten years, a full ten years! She felt like she was dying!

"Don't cry, don't cry, think of something else."

Li Meixi could only hold her and comfort her. Li Meixi understood some of the bitterness in her heart. So
unlike her husband, she didn't fly into a rage; she just felt sorry for Xia Lanqin.

"Sister-in-law, I really don't know what to do. He rarely comes home, and I'm always alone.
Every day, the newspapers are full of news about him and some other woman. What should I do? What should I do?"

Xia Lanqin knew she was reaping what she sowed, but she had always believed she could win
even .

"I envy you so much. You have a daughter like Weihan. She's so beautiful and so sensible. But
… I have nothing… absolutely nothing!"

For ten years, she had spent every single day alone.

Her husband was merely a legal figurehead; she was practically a living widow. She knew how many lovers her husband had,
but she had no right to question them. Those lovers came to her door to cause trouble, but her husband always just watched, never
helping her.

Since her husband learned she couldn't conceive, he had grown even more disgusted with her.

Seeing her crying so bitterly, Xia Zhiqi finally softened. Thinking back, it must
have been her extreme sadness that led her to come up with such an absurd idea. He gestured to his wife with his eyes to comfort his sister.

With Li Meixi's encouragement, Xia Lanqin slowly stopped crying, leaving only soft sobs.

"How about this," Xia Zhiqi said, "your sister-in-law and I will help you look for a surrogate. We'll let
you know if there's a suitable one, and you can take a look and make arrangements if it's feasible."

That was all Xia Zhiqi could do. Even though Xia Lanqin was his only sister, he wanted to help her
as much as .

Xia Lanqin took the tissue her sister-in-law offered, but her tears still wouldn't stop.

"Could you... let Weihan come and keep me company?"

She knew her brother and sister-in-law wouldn't agree at this point, but she still wanted to try.

Sure enough, Xia Zhiqi and Li Meixi hesitated because of her earlier words. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem for their niece to keep
their aunt company , but they were afraid that Xia Lanqin, with her absurd idea, might actually do something outrageous.

"I promise, I will never actually do any of those absurd ideas I just mentioned. I've just been alone
for the past ten years. Maybe I'm just desperate for a child, that's why I have these inappropriate thoughts."

Xia Lanqin smiled bitterly. She longed to have a child with her husband, but unfortunately, she couldn't conceive, and her husband
wouldn't even look at her.

Afraid that her brother and sister-in-law wouldn't believe her, Xia Lanqin knelt down again with a thud. All she wanted now was for someone to keep her
company .

"Brother and sister-in-law, please, I... I just want Weihan to keep me company, really!"

"Lanqin, get up, don't be like this!"

Li Meixi couldn't bear it and helped her up from the ground. Seeing that she was still hanging her head and wiping away tears, it seemed that she had
really lost her mind and was talking nonsense.

"How about letting Weihan keep you company for a while?"

Li Meixi looked at her husband, also seeking his opinion. She understood Xia Lanqin's pain. A woman who couldn't be
a mother , and wasn't even loved by her husband, couldn't understand the loneliness and pain she had endured for the past ten years. Xia Lanqin's
words were tinged with negativity.

"Your older brother and I are going on a business trip in a few days. We'll have Weihan stay with you for a while; she's not
doing anything right now anyway. Once we find a surrogate and things are settled, Weihan can come back."

Li Meixi thought this was the best solution. Seeing how agitated Xia Lanqin was, she wondered if anything would happen if she
went back to .

"Really? Is it really okay?"

Xia Lanqin couldn't believe her sister-in-law would still be willing to let Weihan stay with her. She thought that
after , they wouldn't want to see her anymore.

"You promise to give up that idea. If you dare to have that idea again, I will
break your legs in Father's place!"

Xia Zhiqi couldn't help but soften his heart, but he still threatened her. He understood his wife
's soft heart from her gaze. He only hoped that his wife's kindness and soft heart wouldn't be wrong, and that his younger sister could slowly stop being
so negative.

"Don't worry, I just lost my mind for a moment and came up with such a ridiculous idea."

Xia Lanqin regained her composure and found her thought a bit laughable.

Perhaps she was truly driven to madness to come up with such an inhuman idea.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiqi and Li Meixi guessed that she was probably really desperate and secretly decided to
help her find a surrogate mother as soon as possible. They also felt that letting Wei Han accompany her was a wise decision, otherwise she might
really do something foolish.

However, Wei Han was initially a little opposed to this, after all, she didn't want to leave home, and
how could she tell her boyfriend?

Seeing their daughter like this, Li Meixi and Xia Zhiqi briefly explained Xia Lanqin's situation, omitting the
surrogacy part. After listening, Wei Han felt very sorry for her aunt, especially seeing her aunt looking lonely, and
finally decided to stay with her aunt for a while.

When Wei Han told He Yi about this, He Yi was initially reluctant to accept it. However, Wei Han promised to
introduce him to her parents as soon as she returned from her aunt's house, and He Yi relented. Fortunately, He Yi was very busy with work at the beginning and didn't have much time
to spend with Wei Han, so they only talked on the phone occasionally.

When Xia Zhiqi and Li Meixi left, they specifically instructed Wei Han to keep a close eye on Xia Lanqin, and most importantly,
to watch her to prevent her from having any suicidal impulses.

Wei Han kept this in mind and then went back to Xia Lanqin's house with her.

Chapter 4 Damn, the Führer?!

After a week at her aunt's house, Wei Han finally understood her loneliness.

The huge villa was deserted except for the servants. The servants, adhering strictly to the master-servant
distinction , barely spoke, for reasons unknown.

At this moment, standing in the garden, she only wanted to say one thing!

Well done, truly a scene of utter desolation!

In broad daylight, she couldn't see a single person! The garden was empty except for her, standing there like a fool in the sun
! And her aunt, whom she had finally managed to coax into taking a nap, had no one to talk to!

"Ah!!! So boring! I'm going to die of boredom!"

Finally, Wei Han exploded! But the only answer was the still empty garden.

Sighing, Wei Han herself felt bored; this was the most boring
thing she had been doing every noon since the day before yesterday!

Up until now, she hadn't even seen her legendary uncle-in-law once, let alone had the chance to
have a proper talk with him about her aunt.

Leaning on the table under the parasol, Wei Han thought she'd be so bored she'd start counting ants.

Apparently, her aunt had a request—a request!—to have her uncle-in-law come back, but it had all come to nothing.

She was used to her parents' affection, but she just couldn't understand her aunt and uncle's relationship. If they didn't love each
other , why get married? And if they were married, why not try to love each other?

Her aunt told her to go online when she was bored, and she wanted to! The problem was, nobody was online;
everyone was out looking for work. What

would she do online… Okay, she could watch TV. But there was only so much
on TV. Just soap operas, melodramatic and boring romantic dramas, or tearjerker shows that left her completely bewildered. She'd rather count
ants!

Just as Wei Han was considering whether she should really go count ants, she saw her aunt calling her from afar.

"Weihan! Quick, come quick!"

Xia Lanqin was slightly out of breath from excitement and running.

Seeing this, Weihan immediately ran over, wondering what had happened.

"Auntie, what's wrong? What happened?"

Weihan was very anxious, thinking something had happened to Xia Lanqin. Although she hadn't known this aunt
for long , she felt very loved by her, like she was another mother.

"It's nothing, I'm fine! It's your uncle. He just called to say he's coming home for dinner tonight! You'd better get dressed up
nicely , so you don't embarrass yourself in front of him."

Compared to Xia Lanqin's excitement, Weihan looked bewildered and helpless.

"Auntie, I think you're the one who needs to dress up, right?"

Besides, he's not coming to see me, he's not my husband. Weihan thought to herself, completely baffled by
her aunt 's excitement.

"Ah! Right! I need to dress myself up nicely! Weihan, you do it yourself, and remember not to run out
."

Watching her aunt leave again, rambling incoherently, Weihan felt she really didn't understand her aunt's family.

It's just that a husband who didn't want her is back, why are they so excited? If it were her, she would have dumped
that kind of man long ago! Humph, she didn't believe she couldn't find someone better.

Weihan slowly prepared to go back to her room, but was surprised to find all the servants so excited. They were all
diligently wiping themselves down, and even the butler, whom she hadn't seen for centuries, had appeared!

"Uh… this world is truly inexplicable!"

Weihan shook her head, deciding it was better to go back to her room to avoid catching their inexplicable behavior.

Although Weihan had always been dismissive, her aunt was an elder, and since she had asked her to dress up,
she politely did choose some clothes.

She selected a pink sleeveless chiffon dress and a white belt to cinch the loose skirt.
Her hair was left to fall loosely, the voluminous curls making her look like a little princess, though she herself didn't
realize it .

Wei Han felt she had done a very good job for her uncle; normally, she would have just worn a sundress
for dinner.

But once downstairs, Wei Han realized she really was incredibly casual, even ostentatious!

Looking at her aunt, her hair pulled back in a well-fitting cheongsam, she looked like a refined
lady from a painting, leaving Wei Han speechless. Then she looked at the servants—she had never seen such neat
suits and maid outfits! She almost thought she'd stumbled into a live-
action Japanese butler/maid cosplay show!

The most outrageous thing was that when she tried to sit down at the table, she found all the servants, men and women, standing
on either side, while her aunt stood before the chair, as if welcoming a head of state!

Oh no! Welcoming a head of state didn't require such a grand display!

Wei Han sat listlessly in her chair, then slumped onto the table, her chin resting on the table.

"Wei Han, stand up! Don't be like that,"

Xia Lanqin said, stopping her niece from her slumped position.

Wei Han glanced at her, then reluctantly stood up, her mind racing .

"Auntie, serving meals at your house must be exhausting... If it's always like this, I think Uncle
shouldn't... Oh, no! I think Mom and Dad should come back soon."

Wei Han had initially wanted to say that it would be best if her uncle didn't come back, but then she remembered it might touch on her aunt's painful memories, so she
quickly changed her mind.

"Wei Han..."

Xia Lanqin looked at her niece's amusing yet helpless expression, even the servants
nearby couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, Mom and Dad... please come back soon... your poor daughter misses you!"

Seeing the previously cold atmosphere begin to warm up, Wei Han immediately put on a convincing act. As she spoke
, she stretched out her arms, pointing towards a certain spot above her head, as if calling out.

Xia Lanqin didn't criticize Wei Han for this. After spending these past few days together, she knew
her niece was a very cheerful and optimistic girl. In fact, it was precisely because of her presence that Wei Han had laughed
more these past few days than in the previous ten years combined.

Wei Han was happy that she had warmed the previously cold atmosphere when suddenly news came that her wonderful
uncle had returned! Instantly, the atmosphere plummeted back to zero.

She deeply despised this uncle in her heart; he didn't want a good life for himself, and he couldn't even let others have peace!

However, since he was her "great" uncle, she could only secretly think about it to herself and wouldn't say
it out loud .

When she finally met the busy man who arrived late, she finally understood why her aunt was so infatuated
with him.

Sigh, she had to admit that even by her standards, her uncle was a genuinely handsome man. Not
just handsome, but more importantly, he didn't have that effeminate kind of handsomeness, but rather a masculine charm.

Unlike her boyfriend, her uncle belonged to the mature man category, while her boyfriend belonged to the carefree and innocent
boy category.

In conclusion, it proved that her boyfriend was better. Her uncle didn't look like a good person at all;
you could tell at a glance that he was definitely insidious, cunning, and extremely scheming.

Chapter 5 First Confrontation

"You're back. You must be tired after a long day. Let me get you some rice."

After finally being able to sit down, Wei Han watched as her aunt stood up again, busily serving rice and picking
food for her uncle. But her uncle just watched with a cold expression.

So, what's going on? She's just been completely ignored like this?

At that moment, Wei Han felt she should take some stomach medicine; this meal was definitely going to leave her unable to swallow,
tasteless , and indigestion-prone…

"Ah, I forgot to introduce you. Xingwei, this is Wei Han, my niece."

At that moment, Wei Han wanted to thank heaven; she wanted to stand on her chair and shout. God, my aunt,
my dear aunt, finally remembered there was someone like me standing here!

"Uncle, hello, my name is Xia Wei Han, you can call me Wei Han."

Wei Han felt she must be putting on the brightest smile she'd ever given in her life; she refused to believe that her radiance wouldn't
kill expressionless, seemingly emotionless man opposite her.

But as it turned out, Wei Han shouldn't have believed him.

She saw her legendary uncle grunt and then not even look at her.

Seeing this, Wei Han immediately picked up a piece of chicken, put it in her mouth, and took a big bite. She wanted to bite that chicken
, just like her expressionless uncle across the table , to death!

She thought about how polite she was, dressed in at least a decent outfit, and even using her
brightest to politely address him as "Uncle," yet the guy across from her wouldn't even glance at her!

She was certain his parents hadn't raised him properly!

Xia Lanqin was busy serving her husband, who rarely came home, and didn't notice Wei Han's gaze. If she
had seen it, she would have stopped her. Because Wei Han was staring straight at Zhao Xingwei, as if she wanted to blast
a hole through him.

Originally, Zhao Xingwei was just annoyed by Xia Lanqin's constant calls urging him to come back and see her little niece,
so simply ignored Wei Han.

However, just now, he suddenly noticed the little girl across from him staring at him, and that look made him
feel, for the first time, as if he had done something wrong.

Wei Han, of course, had no idea that Zhao Xingwei was watching her with great interest. After glaring at him for a while and finding him
unresponsive, she decided not to neglect her stomach and eat to vent her frustration!

Therefore, she was unaware that Zhao Xingwei was watching the little girl across from her, who was
eating . It wasn't until Xia Lanqin noticed her husband's gaze was no longer indifferent that she followed his gaze
…

“Wei Han!”

Xia Lanqin cried out in alarm upon seeing her niece's eating habits.

Startled by her cry, both Wei Han and Zhao Xingwei looked at her. Wei Han looked at her with a puzzled and confused expression,
not understanding why she had suddenly called her; she was happily enjoying her meal! As for Zhao Xingwei, he frowned slightly; he
hadn't expected to have spent so much time watching a little girl eat.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Wei Han tilted her head slightly, looking at Xia Lanqin with an adorable expression. She held chopsticks in her right hand, the other end still
in her mouth, her little mouth slowly moving as she chewed the food.

"You...it's nothing..."

Seeing Wei Han's innocent look, Xia Lanqin really didn't know what to say. Her appearance was so innocent that
Xia Lanqin felt she shouldn't have disturbed her meal. Seeing that Wei Han looked like she hadn't eaten enough, Xia Lanqin was both amused and exasperated.

Wei Han's gaze shifted between the two adults watching her. Her aunt had
a look , while her uncle stared at her expressionlessly.

"Aren't you going to eat? Then I'll continue eating?"

Wei Han pointed to her food. Seeing her aunt nod helplessly, she didn't bother with the two
inexplicable adults and continued eating.

In reality, although Wei Han was already a senior in college, she had skipped a grade, so she was practically an adult and
often acted like a child, something Xia Lanqin had noticed through their interactions.

And often, Wei Han deliberately acted childish. Many times, the adults she encountered
were too serious, or sometimes very awkward, like her aunt and uncle, and the current situation, which
she could use to defuse the awkwardness with her childlike behavior.

Xia Lanqin didn't see through Wei Han's little scheme, but Zhao Xingwei did.

This made him a little interested in this girl he had initially ignored. He put down his bowl, crossed his arms, and watched
Wei Han eating her meal.

"What's your name?"

After a long while, as Xia Lanqin also sat down to eat, Zhao Xingwei suddenly spoke.

This made Wei Han, who had just swallowed the last bite of rice, look up at him,
slowly swallow it again, blink, and tilt her head to look at Zhao Xingwei, but still didn't speak.

"Wei Han, Xia Wei Han," Xia Lanqin said immediately when Wei Han didn't answer. "Wei Han, your uncle is asking you
a question."

Zhao Xingwei gave Xia Lanqin a cold look, and Xia Lanqin immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head. She knew
whether her husband meant to ask her a question or not, and she had no right to speak.

"Oh, you're asking me?"

Wei Han pretended to understand and pointed to herself.

Her actions made Zhao Xingwei raise an eyebrow, seeing that she still had something to say, waiting for her to say something else.

"My name is Xia Wei Han. I didn't know Uncle's hearing wasn't very good. No wonder Uncle didn't hear me when I introduced myself
."

Wei Han said, shaking her head with a regretful look, and even looked Zhao Xingwei up and down.

"But don't worry, Uncle, technology is so advanced now. I'll buy you a hearing aid tomorrow, so that next time..."
"Uncle will definitely hear what they're saying the first time he hears it."

After saying this, Wei Han acted as if it were nothing to worry about, and there was no need to be polite.

Xia Lanqin, standing to the side, was too frightened to speak. She didn't know how her usually aloof husband would respond to Wei Han's
almost mocking words, and could only repeatedly signal to Wei Han to stop talking with her eyes. Zhao Xingwei, however, didn't get angry but instead laughed. This was the first time he had encountered someone who dared to speak to him like this, and she was just a little girl. "Is this how you speak to your elders?" he

said, his voice slightly lowered. Most people would have been terrified. Zhao Xingwei wanted to see how much courage this little girl named Xia Wei Han had. "Oh, right! You're my uncle! I'm sorry, Wei Han shouldn't have been so rude!" Wei Han stood up and bowed directly to Zhao Xingwei, which surprised everyone, including Xia Lanqin and Zhao Xingwei , who hadn't expected her behavior. "Oh, right, I almost forgot, this is my uncle. Yes, he's been here for over a week, and we only met . Yes, he acted like I didn't exist when we met. Yes, this is my uncle..." After bowing, Wei Han sat down and muttered to herself in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone stared at Wei Han in astonishment, not expecting her to be so fearless, completely unafraid of Zhao Xingwei 's cold face. Xia Lanqin was at a loss, looking at her even more expressionless husband with some fear. If she had known that letting Wei Han meet him today would lead to this, she definitely wouldn't have tried so hard to bring her husband back! Chapter 6 Should I Admit My Mistake? Wei Han, however, was fearless. She didn't think she was in the wrong. She knew to respect her elders, but she also expected them to care for her, the younger generation. An arrogant elder didn't deserve her respect. Zhao Xingwei, who was initially slightly angry, suddenly found it amusing when he saw Wei Han's proud, princess-like expression . "Hahaha, very good, you are indeed different from your aunt." Zhao Xingwei laughed loudly, then suddenly stood up and left, leaving Wei Han and everyone else stunned. Only Xia Lanqin looked pale, glancing anxiously in the direction her husband had left. "Different?" Wei Han looked at her aunt, puzzled, but saw that her face was turned to the side, making it impossible to see her expression. Could it be that she had just successfully angered her uncle, whom she had just met , to the point of having a stroke? Normally, he should be furious in that situation, right? But, from what she had just seen, her uncle was smiling very happily... If her poor perception was not wrong, her uncle's smile seemed quite genuine, not a fake smile, a sinister smile, or an evil smile... Ugh! Wei Han shuddered and decided to ignore this inexplicable uncle. "Aunt? Aunt? Aunt!" Wei Han looked at Xia Lanqin, but found that she was lost in thought, and unconsciously raised her voice . Xia Lanqin snapped out of her daze and realized it was Wei Han calling her. "What's wrong? What happened?" Hearing this, Wei Han almost rolled her eyes in an unseemly manner. "Auntie, shouldn't I be asking you what's wrong? I called you several times but you didn't respond. Were you startled by me? Actually, I didn't mean to." Wei Han stuck out her tongue, now realizing she had acted somewhat inappropriately. Zhao Xingwei was, after all, her uncle-in-law; how could her aunt maintain her dignity with her current attitude towards him? Xia Lanqin wasn't thinking about these things. This was the first time she had seen Zhao Xingwei show any emotion. In the past ten years, she had only ever seen him show disgust or icy indifference; she had never seen him with any other expression. Not to mention his sudden, hearty laughter just now—even his parents probably hadn't seen that before. Yet, Wei Han could make him laugh. After saying so many rude things, he not only didn't get angry but also laughed heartily. What did this mean? Xia Lanqin dared not think too much about it. At that moment, that absurd thought resurfaced in her mind. But her brother's stern warning still echoed in her ears, prompting her to immediately shake her head and dismiss the idea. Seeing Xia Lanqin's constantly changing expression and her continued shaking of her head, Wei Han felt even more strongly that she had acted too impulsively. "Auntie, was I wrong just now? I was just too angry." Wei Han felt a pang of regret. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, but she felt she shouldn't have said it in front of so many people , especially to her uncle. "He's been ignoring you and ignoring my existence, so I acted impulsively. Auntie, do you think I should apologize?" Wei Han's words finally elicited a slight reaction from Xia Lanqin. She looked at Wei Han, seemingly pondering for a long time before finally nodding . "Wei Han, I know you're doing this for your aunt. But, after all, he is your uncle." Hearing Xia Lanqin say this, Wei Han could only sigh helplessly. Well, it's good to be brave enough to admit your mistakes. Hopefully, her great uncle-in-law, like her, also has a very forgiving heart. God, Jesus Christ, Jade Emperor, Fairy Sister, please bless me… “Aunt, I understand, I’ll go apologize right now. Where is Uncle-in-law?” “He should be in the study, but you…” “Okay, I understand, I’ll go apologize right now!” To avoid backing down, Wei Han hurriedly left before Xia Lanqin could finish speaking. By the time Xia Lanqin wanted to chase after her, Wei Han had already disappeared, probably already rushing into the study. Xia Lanqin wanted to follow, but she didn’t have the courage. When Zhao Xingwei wasn’t home, anyone could enter and leave the study, but once he returned, no was allowed to go in. Especially for her, the study, and even the entire third floor where the study was located, was a forbidden zone. Just like now, even if Wei Han rushed up, she didn’t dare to go up. Because Zhao Xingwei had once said that if she violated this rule, they would only have one path: divorce. And now, Xia Lanqin only hoped that Wei Han would suddenly lose her courage and not go into the study. A few days ago, Wei Han was bored, so she asked Wei Han to go to the study to find some books to read. She was afraid that Wei Han would, as usual, casually walk into the study as if it were her own home! Chapter 7 Arrogant Apology It was clear that God had abandoned Xia Lanqin, and Wei Han had also not heard her aunt's heartfelt calls. Standing at the door of the study, which she could usually walk straight into, Wei Han began to hesitate.

"Just kidding," Zhao Xingwei thought. "The study is usually empty; it's practically like she'd broken in. Now, there's
someone in the study whom I desperately need to apologize to, and I'm apologizing unwillingly.

" Apologizing? She'd hardly ever done that in her life.

Wei Han raised her hand to knock, paused, then lowered it again, repeating
the action like a robot countless times—even she despised her own speed.

When Wei Han stood at the door, Zhao Xingwei realized someone was outside. He initially thought it was the butler, but
no one spoke.

He figured it couldn't be the butler or any servant; servants weren't allowed on the third floor
. Xia Lanqin was even less likely; she wouldn't dare break their agreement. After much thought, Zhao Xingwei concluded
it could only be his niece who had argued with him earlier.

With that in mind, he wasn't in a hurry to find out what was happening outside, unaware of the internal
struggle Wei Han was going through. Even he himself didn't realize that a smile had crept onto his lips again, as he waited with interest for the knocking
.

After several attempts to encourage herself, Wei Han finally gritted her teeth, determined to go through with it all, and
knocked on the door that now seemed like a bottomless abyss.

A soft knocking sound came from the door, almost inaudible if one wasn't listening carefully.

Zhao Xingwei raised an eyebrow; she had finally knocked, though her voice alone revealed her reluctance.

"Come in."

He was in an unusually good mood today, and hadn't even considered that
no one , especially since the person now slowly making their way in was his nominal wife's niece.

Wei Han kept her head down the entire time. If she had looked up and seen Zhao Xingwei's ambiguous smile, she would have
been unable to bear it and stormed out. Unfortunately, she was determined to avoid seeing it; she planned to quickly apologize, then immediately return to her room
to thoroughly berate herself!

"What, is there anything else you need to lecture your uncle about?"

The words, half-joking and half-mocking, slipped out. Before Zhao Xingwei realized what was happening, he saw Wei Han
look up , but then immediately lower her head obediently.

His initial surprise at his own reaction was quickly replaced by a composed look as he watched Wei Han. It was definitely the right decision to come back
; this little niece was clearly more cunning than she appeared. He narrowed his eyes, remaining silent, waiting for her
reaction.

If thoughts could kill, Wei Han swore she would kill
the man ! Unfortunately, thoughts couldn't kill; she could only curse him in her heart! Curse him to choke on his food and
get water stuck in his teeth!

"I'm sorry!"

With a deep bow, Wei Han vowed that if she looked up and saw a mocking face, she would slam
the door and leave immediately!

But when she looked up, she saw a man who was surprised for a moment, then regained his composure. She silently
breathed a sigh of relief. It seems this uncle isn't as bad as she thought, right?

"Alright, I know I shouldn't have said that in front of so many people. You're my uncle, I should respect
you, respect you like the sun in the sky. I should give you face, not tear your
face and kick you while you're down."

Wei Han's apology would have only angered most people, but Zhao Xingwei
found it amusing.

"Although I don't think I said anything wrong, I know I was wrong to say it in front of you."

Wei Han continued her apology, oblivious to the man's expression
changing from blank to one of interest.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I was wrong." Wei Han bowed deeply again, then muttered to herself, "I
should have hidden away and whispered to Auntie, maybe even squatted in the corner drawing circles."

Zhao Xingwei realized this little girl really had a knack for making people laugh and cry at the same time. Her words could have been
infuriating , but paired with her expression and the adorable tilt of her head, they made him want to laugh.

As he could see, she was simply using her usual naiveté and cuteness to continue mocking him. Ostensibly an apology,
it was merely a way to further ridicule him, leveraging her youthful innocence. Even knowing she was doing it on purpose,
he just couldn't bring himself to be truly angry.

"So, what exactly are you here for?"

Zhao Xingwei relaxed, leaning back in his chair, spreading his hands, and looking at her with a half-smile.

Seeing his expression, Wei Han immediately knew her plan had succeeded. She was always adept at using her
advantages; no elder could resist her charm!

"An apology, huh? Can't you tell?"

Wei Han mimicked him, spreading her hands and shrugging.

Hearing this, Zhao Xingwei finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. He found that he couldn't control his
emotions ; he wanted to speak harshly and coldly, but seeing her expression softened his tone unconsciously.

"This is the most arrogant apology I've ever seen, and your way of apologizing is the most unique I've ever seen,"

Zhao Xingwei honestly admitted. Although her behavior seemed childish, he couldn't treat her like a child when talking to her.
She was more mature than most people her age, and this was the first time he had met someone who could talk to him directly.

"You're also the most arrogant, rude, strange, and inexplicable elder I've ever met,"

Wei Han muttered softly, using four "mosts" in a row.

However, she didn't think this uncle-in-law was so difficult to get along with. Maybe she could
get along well with him and then help her aunt and uncle get closer.

Her parents' task for her was to keep an eye on her aunt, but she felt that was only a temporary solution. Her aunt's heartache
lay with her uncle, and only a proper cure could truly heal it.

Yes, that's it! Matchmaking her aunt and uncle was her ultimate mission for this visit!

Zhao Xingwei was unaware of Wei Han's little schemes; he just heard her mutterings and saw her expression, and
he burst into laughter again.

Perhaps he should come back more often. Although he had a vague feeling that this would bring huge changes to his life,
he felt even more that not coming back would mean missing out on a lot of fun.

Chapter 8: Bizarre

Encounters Xia Lanqin had been filled with trepidation that day, wondering how Zhao Xingwei would treat Wei Han.

However, she discovered that Zhao Xingwei hadn't reprimanded Wei Han for trespassing on the third floor, and from that day
on he had returned for dinner almost every day. Often, she could hear Wei Han and him bickering at the dinner table.

Watching Wei Han swimming in the pool, Xia Lanqin unconsciously began to ponder again.

Sometimes, a suggestion once uttered becomes a persistent reminder, like a demon,
no matter how hard she tries to get rid of it, it's futile. The seed of that demon has already taken root, residing in her mind.

"Auntie, you're daydreaming again,"

Wei Han said, leaning against the poolside, watching Xia Lanqin, who was lost in thought once more.

She noticed that her aunt had been smiling more these days, and would occasionally joke with her. She also
noticed that her uncle wasn't as rumored; he often came home for dinner, and sometimes she would talk back.

This feeling sometimes made her feel as if she were still at home, occasionally joking with her mother, occasionally bickering with
her father . Things seemed to be developing in the direction she hoped for; perhaps when her parents returned, she
could truly retire gracefully.

Xia Lanqin looked at Wei Han, who was only wearing a bikini, and she didn't expect that her little niece, only eighteen years old, had such
a great figure. Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun and the shimmering water, Xia Lanqin seemed to see a faint halo around Wei Han.

"Wei Han, what do you think of your uncle?"

The question slipped out unconsciously, and by the time Xia Lanqin came to her senses, it was too late to take it back.

Wei Han was somewhat confused, but then she thought, perhaps her aunt cared about her opinion as a younger generation.

"Uncle? He doesn't seem like the rumors say. I'd heard he was a womanizer,
changing women one after another. But after spending these past few days with him, I've found that he's actually quite similar to my father; he often gets so
exasperated by me that he's both amused and exasperated, but helpless."

Wei Han spoke entirely as if she were speaking to an elder, completely misunderstanding Xia Lanqin's original meaning.

"Then, what do you think of your uncle as a man…?"

Knowing she shouldn't ask, Xia Lanqin still blurted it out.

Wei Han was truly stunned this time. What was going on? Her aunt was actually asking her what her uncle
was like ? Why did it feel like a close friend would ask her what she thought of her boyfriend and offer some
advice ?

"Um... well, as a man, Uncle seems pretty good, right?"

Wei Han didn't dare to speak carelessly, afraid of accidentally touching a sore spot in her aunt. She
cautiously asked back, cautiously seeking confirmation.

Xia Lanqin felt like she was being controlled by a demon, thinking only about things she shouldn't be thinking about.
Looking at the girl in front of her with such innocent and trusting eyes, she began to deeply loathe herself.

"Madam, you have a phone call."

Before Xia Lanqin could speak again, the butler came over with the phone.

Xia Lanqin could only take the phone, but upon hearing the voice on the other end, she got up and left, walking all the way to the other end of
the garden .

Wei Han couldn't hear what her aunt was saying, and with her aunt's back turned, she couldn't see her expression, but judging from her
figure, she seemed a little agitated. Although she didn't know whose call it was, fearing something might have happened to her aunt, Wei
Han hurriedly got out of the pool. Just as she was about to go to the lounge chair to get a towel, she saw Zhao Xingwei
walking towards her.

Zhao Xingwei had unexpectedly returned early today. He had originally intended to go back to his study, but upon hearing the housekeeper say that Wei Han and the others were in the garden,
he unconsciously followed.

As soon as he entered the garden, he saw Wei Han, soaking wet, emerging from the pool. The soft afterglow of the setting sun bathed her
snow-white skin, highlighting the glistening water droplets, enveloping her in a gentle halo.

Seeing her approaching for a towel, he instinctively picked up a white towel from the back of the chair and
wrapped her completely in it.

"Um… thank you."

Wei Han hadn't expected Zhao Xingwei to return so early and even drape a towel over her. Although somewhat surprised, she
still politely thanked him.

Zhao Xingwei didn't speak, simply staring at her.

Her long, water-soaked hair appeared even more curly, with a few strands clinging to her neck and winding their way down to her ample
cleavage. Glistening water droplets slid slowly down her hair and skin.

"Uncle? Uncle? What's wrong?"

Wei Han, completely oblivious to how alluring her exposed skin was,
waved her hand in front of Zhao Xingwei, puzzled by his silence.

Zhao Xingwei snapped out of his daze and found himself unconsciously swallowing hard. Seeing Wei Han still
staring at him without any awareness, a sense of guilt welled up within him.

Perhaps annoyed by his own loss of composure, or perhaps annoyed by his momentary lapse in attention, Zhao Xingwei turned
and stormed off with a cold expression.

Wei Han stared in disbelief at his inexplicable arrival and departure, as if a ghost were chasing him
!

It was all so strange; why did he act like someone had offended him? Had she angered him?
She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out

Besides, did she really look like a ghost? Why did he stare at her for so long with that look of utter disgust, then
flee like he was being chased by a ghost?

Wei Han thought to herself again that she really needed time to get along with this uncle. She had just thought he
was nice, even saying he resembled her father, but it turned out they just didn't get along!

Although Wei Han was more mature than others, she actually knew nothing about matters of the heart. Even her
relationship was only because he pursued her relentlessly, and she eventually felt she liked him, which led to their three-year-long relationship.

How could someone like her understand the power of her stunning beauty to a man?

Chapter 9 What was she hiding?

Wei Han didn't understand what had just happened, but Xia Lanqin, who was not far away, saw everything clearly.

Watching her husband's almost fleeing figure and Wei Han's bewildered expression, she unconsciously
recalled the phone call from earlier.

This was already the umpteenth protest call she'd received over the years, all from her husband's
mistresses . They invariably taunted her about when her husband was with them, ultimately
urging her to leave him and divorce him.

Even when her husband answered these calls himself, he would remain unmoved, handing them over to her, letting his mistresses
humiliate him, letting her, the legal wife, be mocked by them.

She knew she'd made a mistake from the beginning, but it was only because she loved him too much!

No! She wouldn't leave him! She would keep him, she absolutely had to keep him!

She didn't want to receive those protesting phone calls anymore. She didn't want to hear those women telling her how her husband was being affectionate with someone else in another bed!

Xia Lanqin clutched her head in anguish, watching Wei Han slowly dry herself off and
put on a tank top.

A fierce internal struggle raged within her; her hand gripping the phone turned slightly white, and her pale lips were bitten until they bled.

Since that strange feeling, Zhao Xingwei hadn't come home for a whole week. This
left almost bewildered; she didn't know what was wrong, why her husband
, after returning home on time a few days ago, had started staying out all night again.

But this had no effect on Wei Han. She felt that her aunt's emotions were gradually stabilizing; she would occasionally take time
to see her boyfriend or go shopping with friends on weekends.

"Aunt, why did you and Uncle get married in the first place?"

That day, Xia Lanqin told Wei Han that she had a guest to introduce her to, and they sat in the living room
chatting as they waited.

Faced with Wei Han's harmless question, Xia Lanqin didn't know how to answer. Recalling her marriage
, she felt nothing but bitterness, her husband's cold indifference and disgust from beginning to end.

Seeing her expression change slightly, Wei Han immediately realized this was a taboo topic.

"Um… speaking of which, who are we waiting for?"

Quickly changing the subject, Wei Han glanced at the still empty doorway. She had planned to go for a walk that morning
, but Xia Lanqin had stopped her, saying a guest was coming. So, they had been waiting since nine o'clock
until ten.

"He's a good friend of yours and uncle, named Hu Jianxing. He's also our family doctor.
He went to a medical seminar recently and just returned today. He'll be living with us from now on, so I'm
introducing you to him today."

Xia Lanqin felt a warmth in her heart at Wei Han's deliberate avoidance of the previous topic. With Wei Han's company these past few days
, she felt her emotions had stabilized considerably.

A commotion erupted at the door, and Wei Han finally saw the man her aunt had mentioned. His white suit, as professional as his
attire, and his gold-rimmed glasses gave him an air of refined elegance. He wasn't exactly handsome, but rather a
man a comfortable and pleasant aura.

"Lanqin, you look radiant. This must be your niece, Xia Weihan, right?"

Weihan, having witnessed Hu Jianxing's warm embrace with his aunt, turned to her, looking
up at his outstretched arms.

"Hello, Uncle Hu. You can call me Weihan. I must say I can't handle your Western-style greeting;
I think a more traditional Chinese approach is better, haha."

Weihan extended her right hand. Hu Jianxing paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her hand.

"You're just as your aunt described—clever and quick-witted."

Hu Jianxing understood why Xia Lanqin seemed much happier than before; with such a niece by her side,
her mood couldn't be bad.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. I'll keep up the good work!"

Weihan liked this uncle; he had a gentle, comforting quality about him. Meanwhile, perhaps it was just her
sensitivity, but she sensed a subtle, unspoken affection between him and her aunt.

Wei Han's words made Hu Jianxing and Xia Lanqin burst into laughter. The three sat down together, with Hu Jianxing and Xia
Lanqin chatting while Wei Han listened.

"Lanqin, how have you been lately? You should know that your emotions shouldn't fluctuate too much,
and you must remember to take your medicine on time."

Wei Han wasn't mistaken; Hu Jianxing had always loved Xia Lanqin, but unfortunately, she only had eyes for Zhao Xingwei
. For so many years, he hadn't married, simply waiting for the day Xia Lanqin would divorce so he could
pursue her. Although he knew it was foolish, he couldn't control himself from being by her side.

"Thank you, Jianxing. I'm feeling very well, especially since Wei Han has been with me. I feel much better now
."

Because Wei Han was present, Xia Lanqin subtly signaled to Hu Jianxing not to say anything more. Wei Han was unaware of her
illness besides Hu Jianxing, only her brother and sister-in-law knew. Her husband wouldn't care about
such things, and she didn't want to bother him.

Wei Han sensed that these two adults were hiding something from her, but they changed the subject,
talking about Hu Jianxing's recent trip to America.

Xia Lanqin knew Wei Han would be bored, so after chatting with Hu Jianxing for a while, she told Wei Han not to stay in the living room.
Wei Han left immediately, as if granted a pardon, leaving the two adults behind.

"Lanqin, is your relationship with Xingwei still so strained?"

Hu Jianxing secretly hoped their relationship would remain bad, but he couldn't bear to see Xia Lanqin's heartbroken
expression every time.

Xia Lanqin could only nod, not knowing what to say. Hu Jianxing knew everything about her and Xingwei's relationship
, and actually, she was still very grateful to this friend for always being there for her.

"Oh, right, this is the medicine you asked me for last time."

Hu Jianxing took out two packets of medicine from his pocket, one with red pills and the other with white pills. As
Xia Lanqin reached out to take them, he hesitated slightly. Seeing this, Xia Lanqin immediately
snatched them from his hand.

"Lanqin, this medicine..."

Hu Jianxing didn't know how to persuade her; he was afraid Xia Lanqin would repeat the same mistake. They both remembered what happened back then;
if it happened again, he didn't know what Zhao Xingwei would do.

"Jianxing, thank you for all these years, but I know my limits."

Xia Lanqin's fingers turned white as she held the pills.
She would never have thought of doing this if she hadn't been forced into it.

"Lanqin, don't do anything foolish! You can't forget what happened back then either. If Xingwei finds out, think about
what he'll do! Don't do anything foolish again, throw the medicine away!"

Hu Jianxing felt he shouldn't have given her the medicine; he tried to take it back, but Xia Lanqin hid it behind her back.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish. Actually... actually, this medicine isn't what I wanted, and I won't take it,
so don't worry."

Xia Lanqin nervously hid the medicine, repeatedly explaining to reassure Hu Jianxing. Although Hu Jianxing wondered who else would want the medicine
if she didn't want it herself, seeing her promise not to take it, he didn't insist on taking it back.

The two chatted casually until Zhao Xingwei returned.

Chapter 10: A Clash at the Dinner Table - 1

"Xingwei, long time no see."

Hu Jianxing greeted Zhao Xingwei warmly upon his return, only to receive
a perfunctory nod in response. Nevertheless, the fact that Zhao Xingwei had returned showed that his friend still held some
status.

Wei Han had been preparing to come down for dinner at the appointed time, but Zhao Xingwei suddenly appeared in the living room. She
withdrew her foot after taking the last step and immediately turned and ran back upstairs.

"Wei Han, you're just in time, it's time to eat."

Xia Lanqin was in high spirits upon her husband's return, but seeing Wei Han heading back upstairs, she
immediately called her back.

Wei Han reluctantly turned around, inwardly thinking that she was going to have a stomachache again during dinner. She realized that
this uncle was definitely not an easy person to get along with; he had been perfectly fine before, but suddenly one day he started acting strangely again
. After disappearing for several days, he suddenly reappeared today.

Zhao Xingwei noticed Wei Han's subtle movements. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that his sudden
absence for the past few days was due to his strange mood that day.

"Since you're down here, let's eat together,"

Zhao Xingwei said, leading the way into the dining room, leaving a dejected Wei Han to walk down the stairs in frustration.

Hu Jianxing was surprised by the interaction between Zhao Xingwei and Wei Han. It was the first time he had ever seen Zhao Xingwei notice someone
and speak so much. As for Xia Lanqin, she simply kept her head down, already used to this situation.

Wei Han followed behind her aunt and Hu Jianxing, secretly blaming her aunt for being too observant! And her
uncle even stranger—why did he drag her to eat with him? Didn't he know that his expressionless face severely affected people's
appetites?

After finally sitting down, they waited for all the dishes to be served, and only after Zhao Xingwei started eating could the others pick up their chopsticks.
Wei Han once again cursed Zhao Xingwei as a pervert in her heart, deciding to eat silently with her head down, using the poor food
as an outlet for her frustration.

"Weihan, come and eat more shrimp. I asked the chef to make extra today."

Xia Lanqin still habitually added food to her husband's plate, but this time she finally remembered that Weihan was there.

Weihan was very touched, but looking at the shrimp in her bowl, she couldn't express her discomfort.

"Auntie, I... I don't eat shrimp... But I can eat other things!"

To avoid upsetting her aunt, Weihan immediately picked up a piece of loofah and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Is it an allergy? Indeed, some people are allergic to seafood."

Hu Jianxing didn't seem to mind, while Xia Lanqin felt a little guilty. She didn't even know
what , or even what she was allergic to.

"No! I just don't like it. I prefer shrimp. Auntie, if you ask the chef to make shrimp
next time , I will definitely eat it all!"

Seeing Xia Lanqin's guilty expression, Weihan knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained. To show
her love for shrimp, she even held up four fingers. To avoid disbelieving her aunt, she nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Hu Jianxing and Xia Lanqin smiled helplessly. Who could blame them when Wei Han
looked at them with such a genuine expression, her eyes wide as if afraid they wouldn't believe her

? "No picky eating allowed."

But some people weren't fooled by her repeated attempts to be cute. With that stern rebuke, a
peeled shrimp was placed in her bowl.

Chapter 10 Dinner Table Conflict -

2 Wei Han swore that if looks could kill, she would definitely kill this uncle named Zhao Xingwei! Of course,
if murder wasn't illegal and he was willing to offer up those mouths that seemed so tempting to her at that moment, she wouldn't
mind stabbing them to death with her chopsticks!

"How could I trouble Uncle! Besides, everyone has their own preferences; I'm just following my
taste ."

She decided to reason with him, letting him know that not everyone has to listen to him.

"The shrimp meat is also peeled shrimp. Since you like shrimp meat, you can treat this as shrimp meat."

As he spoke, Zhao Xingwei put another peeled shrimp into Wei Han's bowl.

Calm down, calm down, calm down! Don't get angry, a good woman doesn't argue with a man!

Wei Han took a deep breath to avoid getting so angry that she would die, or saying something outrageous again.

Think about it, this shrimp was peeled by her seemingly perverted but actually even more perverted uncle. And think about it again, this shrimp was
peeled by that great, emperor-like, high and mighty great uncle!

Yes, peeled shrimp and shrimp meat are indeed no different, both are naked!

However, if she could, she really wanted to stuff that whole plate of unpeeled shrimp into that expressionless uncle's mouth
!

"Well, thank you so much, Uncle. Uncle is so considerate and so protective of me, a junior."

Hmph, a woman's revenge is never too late. Since the elder is so 'protective' of her, a junior, shouldn't she
return the favor?

Wei Han ate the shrimp in her mouth with gusto, her gaze slowly shifting to the stir-fried beef with garlic in front of her.
If she remembered correctly, her aunt had said he disliked garlic the most. She only
put this dish in front of her because she liked it and hadn't expected him to return suddenly.

"Hey, Auntie, Uncle Hu, why aren't you eating? Come, come, don't be shy, eat up!"

Wei Han enthusiastically served food to Xia Lanqin and Hu Jianxing, who were still stunned by what had just happened
. They had never seen Zhao Xingwei peel shrimp himself, let alone peel them for others. But this
"other person" clearly didn't appreciate it at all, now enthusiastically serving them food.

Zhao Xingwei looked at Wei Han with amusement; eating with her always put him in a good mood.

Even though she had a sly smile on her face, clearly up to something, he was intrigued
to see how she would respond.

"Uncle, to thank you for 'caring' for me so much, I've decided to
serve you all my favorite dishes!"

Wei Han emphasized the word "caring." And when she mentioned her favorite dishes, her smile was like a cat that
had just stolen some garlic and personally placed it in front of Zhao Xingwei.

Xia Lanqin was shocked. She knew her husband hated garlic, and she hadn't expected Wei Han to do this. She tried to
stop her but it was too late. Hu Jianxing, on the other hand, suddenly found it amusing. He wanted to see how Zhao Xingwei would react.

"Hey, Uncle, why aren't you eating?"

Wei Han blinked innocently, looking at him with a bright smile. She wanted to smile so brightly, so dazzlingly that it would kill
him!

Zhao Xingwei frowned slightly at the dishes in front of him, but didn't say anything to stop her.

"Oh, I know!"

Wei Han feigned sudden realization, picking up a mouthful of garlic with her chopsticks.

"Come on, Uncle, you've been busy all day," Wei Han glanced at the clock, "Hmm... half a day, so you must be
very tired . Come on, let your niece personally serve you."

Hmph, so never offend a woman, never!

He said he couldn't be a picky eater, so if he didn't eat, it meant he was picky. Wei Han was secretly laughing
her head off, but on the surface, she wore a cute, ingratiating expression, looking a bit like a puppy.

The final result of this meal was that Zhao Xingwei endured his nausea and ate that mouthful of garlic, then vomited violently while hugging
the toilet . And Wei Han won the battle with an overwhelming victory!

Chapter 11 The Woman Outside - 1

Wei Han discovered that since that meal, Zhao Xingwei had started coming home for meals every day again.

Her daily routine consisted of finding ways to get Xia Lanqin and Zhao Xingwei to spend more time together, and then doing everything she could
to break Zhao Xingwei's expressionless face. Each time that unchanging mask cracked, Wei Han felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

As for the current situation, Xia Lanqin didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

On the surface, her relationship with Zhao Xingwei seemed to be slowly improving. But this was all because of Wei Han;
as soon as Wei Han left, their relationship returned to its freezing point. While Wei Han's playfulness and cheerfulness brought her
joy, she felt uneasy seeing Zhao Xingwei's increasing indulgence.

Naturally, what Xia Lanqin and Hu Jianxing saw as indulgence, Zhao Xingwei himself didn't see it that way.

He simply found Wei Han very interesting; she had a kind of magic that could make him happy even when he was in a bad mood, just by
bickering .

Everything was so peaceful. Wei Han watched as Xia Lanqin smiled more each day and spent
more time with her uncle. She felt that perhaps she could finish work earlier before her parents returned.

"Lanqin, you've changed so much."

Hu Jianxing put down his stethoscope, happy that her health was improving.

"Yes, I think so too."

Xia Lanqin looked at Wei Han chasing a small dog not far away. Wei Han had brought the dog from her own
home . According to her, she felt life was too boring and needed some entertainment. Like...
a dog.

"Madam, you have a guest."

The butler appeared suddenly beside Xia Lanqin like a ghost. She nodded and stood up, already used to it.
Hu Jianxing also packed up the medical kit and was about to put it away when he came to the living room with Xia Lanqin.

"You wanted to see me?"

Xia Lanqin sat down, looking at the woman standing in front of her. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to be Yun Duo, the currently
popular singer. Meanwhile, she was also Zhao Xingwei's latest rumored mistress.

"So you're Xingwei's wife." Yun Duo glanced at Xia Lanqin in front of her. "You should know about my
relationship with Xingwei. I advise you to leave him quickly if you know what's good for you."

She had called Xia Lanqin before and was confident in her weakness, which was why she dared to come directly to her door this time.

Putting aside the money and power behind Zhao Xingwei, his handsome appearance alone was enough to make her his
wife.

The entire high society knew that Zhao Xingwei and his wife were not on good terms, and even her current act of showing off
was tacitly approved. Since Zhao Xingwei didn't want this wife anymore, she really didn't understand why this woman would still cling to her so
stubbornly .

"I don't know what your relationship is with my husband. I only know that I am Mrs. Zhao, and this is my home."

Xia Lanqin tried to remain calm. Even though she knew that what she said was all true, she couldn't show weakness in front of this woman.

However, her slightly pale lips still betrayed her unease, and the fingers tightly clenched on her legs turned white.

Seeing her like this, Yun Duo felt a surge of secret delight. She hadn't been wrong; this woman was no match for
her .

"Mrs. Zhao? Hmph! I know you're Mrs. Zhao, and I know how shamelessly you got this title
. I bet Xingwei hates you terribly. You'd better be sensible and get a divorce yourself, otherwise, once I move
in ..."

Chapter 11 The Woman Outside - 2

Yun Duo didn't finish her sentence, instead surveying the luxurious decor.

"I think you'd better stop dreaming, because you're not the first person to say such things."

Hu Jianxing, who had just put down the first-aid kit, came out and heard Yun Duo's words. He couldn't help but step forward to stop her from further
hurting Xia Lanqin.

Perhaps because of Hu Jianxing's intervention, Xia Lanqin regained some of her composure.

"Yun Duo, right? You're not the first woman to protest. But look, the protesters have come and
gone, but I'm still Mrs. Zhao. So what if Xingwei and I don't get along? At least I'm Xia Lanqin, and at least Xia Zhiqi
is my older brother."

Xia Lanqin stood up, her body trembling slightly, but she still endured the discomfort to retort.

Yun Duo hadn't expected Xia Lanqin to suddenly retort, nor had she expected anyone to help her. Knowing she was outnumbered and outmatched
, she immediately picked up her purse from the sofa.

"Xia Lanqin, don't push your luck! I'll definitely tell Xingwei about what happened today! Oh, I almost
forgot to tell you, isn't this purse pretty? Xingwei just bought it for me."

Yun Duo brandished the purse in her hand as if to show off. Zhao Xingwei was never stingy with his female companions,
but what Yun Duo didn't know was that he hated women who didn't know their worth.

Hu Jianxing watched Yun Duo leave, already predicting that Zhao Xingwei would dump her soon. Women around
Zhao Xingwei were as numerous as fish in a river, and none of them lasted more than
a month .

As soon as Yun Duo left, Xia Lanqin collapsed onto the sofa, her face deathly pale.

"Lanqin!" Hu Jianxing exclaimed in alarm, rushing to support her. He saw her face was deathly pale, her eyes vacant.
"Don't listen to that woman. At this rate, Xingwei will definitely dump her within a week."

Unfortunately, Hu Jianxing's words of comfort were useless to Xia Lanqin.

"Even if he dumps her, so what? Today she's just showing off; tomorrow she'll just find another one. I can't have children.
Xingwei has never treated me like a wife, nor has he ever considered this place a home."

Xia Lanqin was heartbroken, burying her face in her hands and weeping.

Her sorrow wasn't about today's events, but about being a wife who could only constantly endure the provocations of a mistress.
She received absolutely no support from her husband. He was her whole life, but she was dispensable to him.

Wei Han walked in carrying the dog, only to find her aunt sobbing, while Hu Jianxing comforted her.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Wei Han immediately dropped the dog and rushed forward, only to see Xia Lanqin's pale face.

"Did you and Uncle have a fight?"

Wei Han couldn't think of anyone else but her uncle who could make her aunt so heartbroken.

"Wei Han, this is an adult matter. Don't worry about it. Go upstairs first."

Hu Jianxing didn't want to involve Wei Han, a child; this wasn't something she should know.
Although didn't agree, seeing Uncle Hu treat her like a child, she decided to observe secretly and let
them continue treating her like a child.

Xia Lanqin watched Wei Han go upstairs with the dog, secretly envying her carefree nature.

Perhaps because of what happened with Yun Duo, Xia Lanqin remained silent all day.

Even at the dinner table, as Wei Han and Zhao Xingwei continued their daily battle of wits, she
simply watched silently. Perhaps it was the first time she had observed so quietly that she noticed Zhao Xingwei
only smiled when he was with Wei Han.

In ten years, she had never seen her husband smile. But now, looking at her husband, who smiled instead of getting angry after being contradicted by Wei Han
, Xia Lanqin felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

Wei Han could sense Zhao Xingwei's subtle indulgence, which was why she dared to boldly challenge his
authority. However, she knew how to control the situation so as not to really anger him.

Zhao Xingwei had already seen through Wei Han's restrained laughter and antics; as he had expected, this girl
was more mature than her physical age.

Chapter 12 The Effects of the Drug - 1

As usual, Wei Han took the hot milk that Xia Lanqin handed her. This was a habit she had developed since childhood; she
always drank a glass of milk before bed.

"Drink your milk and get some rest."

Xia Lanqin took the empty glass, her eyes filled with guilt, pain, and struggle as she looked at Wei Han. Her already
pale lips appeared even more bloodless.

"Yes, I think I really am a little tired."

Normally, she wouldn't fall asleep immediately after drinking milk, but for some reason, she suddenly felt
exceptionally tired today. She even felt weak and listless, slumping down onto the edge of the bed.

Seeing this, Xia Lanqin immediately put down the glass and helped Wei Han lie down on the bed. Seeing her slightly struggle
to take off her outer clothes, she quickly helped her remove them.

"Wei Han, Auntie didn't want this either, but please forgive Auntie, okay? Auntie had no choice."

In her hazy state, Wei Han seemed to feel someone tucking her in and saying many apologies.

Why were they apologizing? What had she done wrong? Who was saying these things to her?

Wei Han struggled to clear her mind, but her thoughts grew increasingly hazy, constantly
hypnotized , until finally she helplessly succumbed to darkness.

Zhao Xingwei finished dinner, chatted briefly with Hu Jianxing, then made an excuse to return to his room, as he
noticed waves of heat emanating from his lower abdomen.

Upon returning, he rushed to the bathroom, frantically splashing himself with cold water without even taking off his clothes. But the heat
in his lower abdomen didn't subside; instead, it intensified.

As he rushed out of the room to change and go find his mistress, he saw Xia Lanqin, who shouldn't have been there.

"How dare you!"

It was obvious this woman had relapsed into her old ways; after all these years, she still dared to use this trick!

Xia Lanqin was frightened by his appearance; her long-standing fear of him prevented her from getting too close.

"Xingwei, I just want you to stay. This time, you definitely won't hate me like before."

Zhao Xingwei didn't want to hear her say any more. A deep disgust and hatred fueled his anger, but his already weak
legs made walking unsteady. By the time he reached the door, he was panting heavily.

Seeing this, Xia Lanqin mustered her courage and stepped forward. Before she could even touch him, he forcefully pushed her away. A deep
bitterness spread through her heart. Did he really hate her that much?

But seeing him about to leave, she immediately realized he might be going to see his mistress, or more likely, that
Yun Duo . This gave her the courage to stop him. Clearly, Zhao Xingwei didn't have the strength to push her away.

"Get out!"

Even though he was almost completely controlled by lust, he wouldn't touch the
woman .

Seeing that he was already like this, yet still wouldn't even glance at her, Xia Lanqin felt another pang of pain. But
thinking that if she missed this opportunity, she gritted her teeth and almost forcibly helped him up,
slowly pulling him to the door diagonally opposite.

"Xingwei, I just love you so much, really! This time, you'll definitely like it."

With that, Xia Lanqin opened the half-closed door and forcefully pushed Zhao Xingwei inside. She immediately closed the door and
locked it from the outside. She leaned against the door, feeling utterly exhausted, tears streaming down her face.

She knew that doing this might cost her her last remaining family member, but she couldn't lose her husband, she really couldn't!

Zhao Xingwei, suddenly pushed into the room, instinctively turned to open the door, only to find
it locked. As he tried to understand Xia Lanqin's unexpected behavior, he was overwhelmed by an even stronger heat in his lower abdomen.

Chapter 12 Drug Effects - 2 (Limited)

He leaned heavily against the door, his hands clenched into fists, finally adjusting to the dim light.
He faintly smelled a woman's fragrance.

Looking up, he froze at the sight before him.

The pink color immediately made him realize he was in a girl's room. Before he could even figure out who it was, the person lying
on the bed caught his eye.

On the same pink sheets lay Wei Han, completely naked. Her snow-white skin appeared even more translucent in the dim light. Her sleeping
face was serene, her long eyelashes casting shadows beneath her eyelids. A faint pink
blush , and down her jade-like neck were her undisguised, rounded breasts.

Stimulated by the cold air, her buds had blossomed, leading down to her flat stomach.
Her legs, also exposed to the air, were flawless and white, and between her slightly parted legs was a pubic hairline never before seen.

Everything before him made Zhao Xingwei immediately realize that Xia Lanqin had used her niece to seduce him.
Anger welled up within him, but then he noticed that Wei Han didn't appear to be asleep. Finally, he seemed to understand something, and
his anger intensified.

Before it could even begin, a deeper heat wave in his lower abdomen made him almost lose his balance, clinging to the edge of the bed.

The faint scent of a woman's body filled his nostrils, and the closer proximity to her perfect body caused his reason to crumble.

His burning hands unconsciously pressed against her slightly cool skin, the soft touch making him instinctively rub her
harder .

His remaining reason kept telling him to stop, but the ever-consuming lust made him involuntarily
tear off his already soaked clothes that clung to his skin.

When he lay panting on top of Wei Han, he was completely naked. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at her serene,
beautiful sleeping face, his hot breath spraying onto her skin.

Completely lost in darkness, Wei Han had no idea that her uncle was about to transform into a beast, straddling her tender
body, his pent-up lust about to cause her unbearable pain.

When her nipples brushed against his chest, a current surged through every capillary in his veins,
and even his last remaining shred of reason was devoured.

He covered her red lips with his, pried open her pearly teeth, and greedily sucked the sweetness from her mouth. His caresses traversed every inch of her skin, a body never touched by another
man .

Only when her lips were slightly swollen did he leave. His hand traced her neck, finally resting
on , kneading the soft, rounded shape with one hand while taking the other into his mouth. His free hand slid down
to her legs, roughly parting her unconscious thighs.

Her virgin territory, never before opened, was now slowly parted by his rough fingers. The soft
touch fueled his lust, and he pressed his entire body between her legs.

Wei Han was unaware that her legs had been spread apart, that burning desire slowly tearing apart that virgin territory,
ripping apart the innocence she had preserved for eighteen years.

Perhaps even in the darkness, she felt the pain, and her body struggled slightly. But all of this was no match for
the ever-approaching darkness; her feeble struggles only fueled the lust of the beast before her.

A pair of snow-white legs were completely spread apart, and burning desire
rampaged .

The pleasurable sensation made Zhao Xingwei forget that the girl beneath him was his niece, causing his last remaining
conscience to vanish. Her weak moans were buried under his even stronger desire; he was only concerned with enjoying the thrill of the ride.

Chapter 13 Uncle? No! (Limited)

The room was filled with sweat and groans, while Xia Lanqin, separated by the door, had cried until her tears ran dry.

Hearing the constant roars coming from inside, she knew without looking what her husband was doing.

Just as she expected, no man could remain unmoved by Wei Han after taking aphrodisiacs. In fact,
many times she felt that her husband harbored a desire for Wei Han that even he himself might not be aware of.

She knew how much Wei Han would hate her once she woke up, and how much her brother and sister-in-law would want to kill
her out. However, she secretly believed that even if Zhao Xingwei realized what had happened, although he would despise her,
he wouldn't leave this family.

She only wanted Wei Han to give birth to a child; for that purpose, she was willing to beg Wei Han, beg her brother and
sister-in-law for forgiveness, and she was willing to pay any price!

Compared to Xia Lanqin, who was already somewhat frantic outside the door, the room was still filled with lust.

Having already released his pent-up desires, Zhao Xingwei's rationality had returned, and his lower abdomen was no longer so hot. Realizing what he
was doing, he instinctively tried to withdraw from Wei Han's body.

But when he saw Wei Han's fair body, and the wantonness between his spread legs, another wave of heat surged in his lower abdomen.
He couldn't help but pounce on Wei Han's body again, his rekindled member once more deeply buried in her already swollen and reddened
passage.

Throughout the night, Zhao Xingwei had ejaculated countless times inside Wei Han, leaving her once flawless
body covered in bruises and hickeys. The room was filled with the stench of debauchery, which had overshadowed her delicate fragrance. Disheveled clothes
lay scattered on the floor, and the bed was a mess.

The effects of the drug finally wore off, and Zhao Xingwei, equally exhausted, sank into darkness.

At that moment, dawn was breaking, and the first rays of autumn sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the already
dim room until it was bright.

Wei Han felt as if the night had been incredibly long, struggling to rouse herself from the darkness.

Her head was still spinning, and her body ached terribly, feeling as if it had been disassembled and reassembled. She was utterly
weak , even struggling to open her eyelids. The blinding light was unbearable, and she
managed to raise her hand to shield her eyes.

But the shocking bruises on her bare arm horrified her; fully awake, she immediately realized she was
completely naked . She slowly turned her head mechanically, only to see her uncle lying beside her!

She dared not look, dared not think.

Why was she naked? What did all that pain mean? Why was her uncle naked too?
And what did the bruises and red marks on her body mean?

Clutching the blanket tightly to her chest, she sat up numbly. She dared not think anything; she
wanted to tell herself it was a dream, a nightmare. But the pain in her lower body, even with the slightest movement, and the shocking
bloodstains on the sheets, told her she wasn't dreaming; a nightmare was unfolding in reality.

Slowly, she wrapped herself in the blanket, tears streaming down her face, soaking a corner of the blanket.

She didn't know what her blank mind was thinking; she just unconsciously wrapped herself in the blanket, wanting to leave. But
where could she leave to? She didn't know, she really didn't know.

When her feet touched the ground, a piercing pain made her legs buckle and she collapsed to the floor. Weakly propping
herself up with her hands, she could no longer hold back her sobs.

The somewhat shrill cries jolted Zhao Xingwei awake, the even clearer sobs around him jolting him awake.
He sat bolt upright in bed, only to find Wei Han wrapped in a blanket, half-lying on the floor in agony.

The disheveled sheets, fragmented memories, and the glaring blood finally brought back
the .

He immediately jumped out of bed, wanting to help Wei Han up, but she reflexively dodged him. Her once
bright, smiling eyes were now filled with tears, looking at him with a hint of fear. With each step he took forward, she
struggled to retreat.

Casually grabbing her clothes from the floor and putting them on, Zhao Xingwei dared not approach any further.

"Weihan, last night was an accident. I'm sorry, but don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Zhao Xingwei didn't know how to explain. He stepped forward and tried to carry Weihan back to bed, afraid that she would catch a cold.

"No...no...no! Don't touch me, let me go! No!"

Wei Han's voice grew hoarse from muttering to herself as she desperately kicked her legs, screaming and struggling.

"Wei Han, Wei Han! Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you! Calm down!"

Zhao Xingwei didn't know how to comfort her. He had never encountered this situation before; women
were always . He never comforted anyone, and now he was at a loss. He only dared to put Wei Han on the bed
before immediately backing away, afraid she would hurt herself if she became too agitated.

Even if Xia Lanqin had drugged him, he still remembered some of his own madness from last night, thanks to his fragmented memory.
Moreover, as she struggled, he saw the terrible bruises on her naked skin.

Wei Han couldn't hear anything, only hugging herself tightly. Her former optimism could no longer
withstand the painful tears she was now shedding. She couldn't understand why her uncle would do this. She didn't know what to do,
how to face her parents, how to face her boyfriend.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Xingwei roared, his anger flaring. He turned and slammed his foot into the door.

"Xia Lanqin! Open the door!"

Zhao Xingwei's shout stopped Wei Han's tears
. Her face streaked with tears as she watched him suddenly call out her aunt's name towards the door. The door wouldn't open; that was all she knew. Why...why wouldn't the door open? Why...why did she have to
call for her aunt to open it?

When Wei Han saw Xia Lanqin open the door and come in, her grief was overwhelmed with surprise. "

Slap!"

A hard slap sent Xia Lanqin, who hadn't slept all night, sprawling to the floor, and also
snapping Wei Han out of her grief.

"What are you doing!"

Wei Han screamed, trying to get out of bed but seeing Zhao Xingwei suddenly approaching, she immediately cowered in the corner of the bed.
Zhao Xingwei didn't approach, only giving Xia Lanqin a cold look.

"Ask your dear aunt yourself what she's done!"

Zhao Xingwei's anger intensified at the sight of Wei Han's fearful expression and Xia Lanqin's demeanor. He glared
at Xia Lanqin, strode out of the room, and slammed the door behind him.

Wei Han cautiously watched the doorway, waiting for a long time until she was certain Zhao Xingwei was truly gone before preparing to
get out of bed to help her aunt.

"Wei Han, I'm sorry."

Her aunt's sudden apology stunned Wei Han, but Xia Lanqin disregarded Wei Han's feelings and slowly recounted
everything from the previous night.

Wei Han listened quietly at first, but when she heard her aunt describe how she had drugged her, all of this
shattered her previous understanding and overturned all her previous thoughts. So, she had been tricked by her own aunt and had a relationship with her uncle? All of this was orchestrated

by her aunt ? Stunned, she sat on the messy bed, clutching the blanket, watching Xia Lanqin kneeling below, begging her to have a child with Zhao Xingwei . She thought Xia Lanqin had gone mad. She didn't know who to hate for taking her virginity. Ultimately, she and Zhao Xingwei were both victims; they had both been drugged. She had lost her virginity, while Zhao Xingwei had slept with her, his niece. Looking at Xia Lanqin, her face streaked with tears and utterly haggard, she hid outside the door all night, listening to her husband having relations with another woman—all of this was orchestrated by her own hands. Hearing Xia Lanqin's desperate pleas, Wei Han could only numbly stare at the curtains that had been drawn back, at the sky that had been so clear yesterday. Chapter 14: Unraveling the Knot All the servants noticed that their once optimistic and cheerful cousin, always smiling, had changed. Their husbands started coming home early every day, and their wives spoke to their cousin ingratiatingly. But the cousin remained silent, hiding in a corner, saying nothing. Hu Jianxing finally learned what had happened from Xia Lanqin; he couldn't believe Xia Lanqin would do such a thing . He had always assumed the medicine she requested was for his own use, never expecting it would be used on Zhao Xingwei and Wei Han. Looking at Wei Han, who was hiding alone in the bushes in the distance, Hu Jianxing felt a pang of sorrow for the girl. She was just a child, yet she had to endure such pain. He unconsciously walked towards the bushes. When Wei Han heard his footsteps, she seemed startled, but only relaxed when she saw it was Hu Jianxing . She didn't know how to face Xia Lanqin, nor dared to meet Zhao Xingwei, so she always hid quietly by herself. "Wei Han, can you talk to Uncle Hu?" Hu Jianxing squatted down, not wanting to put pressure on Wei Han. Only after receiving Wei Han's nod of approval did he choose a spot to sit. Looking at Wei Han under the tree, knees drawn up, her eyes were somewhat vacant. "Uncle Hu, do you know?" Before Hu Jianxing could speak, Wei Han already knew what he was about to say. She knew Hu Jianxing wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't get past her own conscience. Looking at Wei Han, whose head was bowed, Hu Jianxing could only give a soft reply. He suddenly realized that he absolutely couldn't talk to Wei Han like a little girl about this matter. "Do you hate your aunt and uncle?" Wei Han nodded, then shook her head. This puzzled Hu Jianxing, who didn't understand Wei Han's meaning. But he didn't press her further, instead silently watching the sky with her. "I know, maybe your aunt did something a little crazy." Hu Jianxing broke the silence after looking at the sky for a long time. "Maybe ten years of loneliness made her only want to keep the man she loved, becoming ruthless. Maybe it's because her illness still hasn't healed, causing her to lose her mind." Wei Han looked up at Hu Jianxing. He had just said her aunt was sick? Seeing Wei Han's questioning look, Hu Jianxing felt he should tell her. "Your aunt has a mental illness. You must be wondering why I, a doctor, have been living here all this time, right?" Wei Han nodded. Actually, she had been wondering before; this man didn't seem like the kind of family doctor she was looking for. "I'm your aunt's therapist. Ten years ago, your aunt made a mistake that led to her . But in the past ten years, your uncle has only shown disgust towards her and hasn't touched her again. For ten years, your aunt has given up all her youth, and this decade of loneliness has caused her to develop depression, even becoming somewhat paranoid." This was the first time Wei Han had learned that Xia Lanqin had this medical history, and her blank expression was replaced by astonishment. "She often gets stuck on things, even to the point of wanting you to be a surrogate. I always thought her condition was slowly improving, but it turns out it's actually gotten worse."

Hu Jianxing hadn't expected this either. Perhaps Xia Lanqin had concealed too much; after all, they were both in
the psychology department , and Xia Lanqin had always been at the top of the class.

"I didn't expect her to use the same methods as back then to get you and your uncle to have a relationship."

Hu Jianxing stopped there, only offering a bitter smile. All these years of waiting still couldn't shift her
gaze away from Zhao Xingwei.

Wei Han didn't ask any further questions; what she'd heard today was too shocking.

Hu Jianxing's words, combined with the fragmented memories of her aunt gleaned from her parents,
made understand the meaning behind his words.

She had always wondered about the relationship between her aunt and uncle, and now she understood everything. No wonder her uncle hated
her so much; no wonder he was so angry that day.

But…

"Why tell me all this? I really don't know who to hate now." Her

uncle, who had forced himself on her, had also been drugged; it wasn't his own doing. Her aunt, who had caused all this,
was already suffering from a mental illness. And what about her? Was she just destined to be unlucky and taken advantage of like this?

As darkness fell, Wei Han didn't know when Hu Jianxing left,
nor . She simply hid in the bushes, gazing at the distant, brightly lit area.

She felt her thoughts were in turmoil; many things needed careful consideration.

When Zhao Xingwei returned, the housekeeper informed him that Wei Han had hidden again. Filled with guilt, he
had . But she had always hidden from him in fear, just as she was now hiding
in the bushes.

However, this time, she saw him but didn't jump away; she simply looked up at him quietly.

"It's autumn; you'll catch a cold."

Looking at her thin frame, he knew she had probably been hiding for another day. Out of guilt, Zhao Xingwei took off his suit
jacket and draped it over her shoulders, but Wei Han didn't move, seemingly unwilling to get up.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Xingwei sat down on the ground, unconcerned that his Armani suit trousers were stained with
withered leaves and dirt.

"Let her stay for now. If it's confirmed there's no child, arrange for hymenoplasty.
No one will tell. If there is a child, then it'll be as you wish."

Zhao Xingwei couldn't find any other way, so he simply offered his opinion, leaving everything to Wei Han's decision.

Wei Han lowered her head, her fingers twirling the thin stems of withered leaves, her long, curly hair cascading over her bent knees,
concealing her expression.

"I don't want a child."

After a long silence, Wei Han finally spoke calmly.

"Okay, everything you wish."

He hated Xia Lanqin, but couldn't blame Wei Han. In this whole affair, she was the most innocent victim. She
was just a guest, yet she was dragged into their marriage. He could understand her conflict; at least he had
someone to hate, but she couldn't even find someone to blame or berate.

Wei Han took a deep breath, raised her head, and turned to look at the man who was also looking at her.

There was guilt in his eyes; regardless of what kind of man Zhao Xingwei she had heard about, at least he understood guilt.

"You should say sorry."

Slowly tossing away the fallen leaves in her hand, Wei Han stood up, brushed the dirt off her pants,
and

looked down at Zhao Xingwei, who was still sitting. Zhao Xingwei also stood up, forcing Wei Han to look up at him. He didn't quite understand Wei Han's
meaning and looked at her with a questioning gaze.

"I'm sorry."

But he still did as she said.

"You should ask for my forgiveness."

Wei Han continued to look at him, a glimmer of light returning to her clear eyes.

"I'm sorry, I hope you forgive me."

Although Zhao Xingwei was surprised, he didn't dare disobey Wei Han for the time being. He didn't know
what thinking; for the first time, he couldn't understand what someone was thinking. Because Wei Han's behavior was completely unlike what a
girl should behave according to common sense.

"Okay, I forgive you."

Chapter 15 Childish Playfulness

To this day, Zhao Xingwei still couldn't believe Wei Han's answer that day.

And she really had forgiven him, completely forgetting the matter. She and Xia Lanqin seemed to have returned to
their former closeness, and her usual mischievousness and cheerfulness had completely returned to her face.

From afar, Zhao Xingwei saw Wei Han pulling Xia Lanqin along to bathe the puppy. The puppy, covered in
foam, habitually shook its body, resulting in Wei Han suffering the consequences.

"Ah! You bad dog, you stinky dog, you've ruined all my clothes!"

Wei Han screamed from a distance, immediately grabbing the hose and laughing.

"Waaaa, watch how I deal with you! Little puppy, you're going to die! I'll destroy you in the name of the moon, no,
in the name of the sun!"

With that, Wei Han turned on the tap, and a jet of water immediately shot out, aimed directly at the poor
puppy who couldn't escape in time.

Perhaps used to its owner's playful antics, the puppy jumped up skillfully the moment it was hit by the water jet,
then ran after Wei Han. As it ran, it would comically turn its head to look back.

"Run, run! See if I can catch you!"

Wei Han initially chased after it with the hose, but eventually found it cumbersome, threw it aside, picked up the water gun
from the ground and chased after the dog. They ran and fired water guns, the two of them having a great time in the garden.

Xia Lanqin, who had been playing with Wei Han, stepped aside. Recently, seeing that Wei Han seemed to be in
a much , she didn't dare mention what happened that day anymore, basically doing whatever Wei Han wanted. She
was now almost fawning over Wei Han, unsure of Zhao Xingwei's attitude towards her, and afraid that her only niece might also
leave her.

The dog was mostly clean of the suds, and Wei Han was too lazy to chase it anymore. Slowly putting down the water gun,
she strolled leisurely under the parasol, grinning mischievously at the dog food on the table.

"Hey little rascal, try running away! If you run again, I won't give you lunch today, you'll starve!"

Wei Han wickedly waved the bag of dog food in her hand. The dog, hearing the sound of food, immediately ran over, circling around
Wei Han and wagging its tail incessantly.

"Oh, you're here! Weren't you going to run away? Hmph, no food, you'll starve!"

Wei Han said, making faces at the dog, which seemed to whimper softly as if it understood.
Watching this scene, Xia Lanqin broke into a wide smile, shaking her head as she laughed.

"Wei Han, why are you acting like a child, making faces at a dog like that?"

Wei Han looked up at this, pulled her index finger under her right eyelid, and stuck out her tongue.

"I am a child, you know. Please note, I just turned eighteen last month." As she spoke, Wei Han touched her chin with her
index and thumb fingers, nodding seriously. "Well, by definition, I can still be classified
as a child."

When Wei Han mentioned her age, Xia Lanqin was startled, and even Zhao Xingwei and Hu Jianxing, who were not far away,
were surprised, thinking that she would revert to her previous behavior. But fortunately, Wei Han didn't take it to heart.

Wei Han just turned to look at the dog at her feet, then looked at the bag in her hand, and chuckled mischievously
.

"So, I'm not giving you any. Come on, come on, chase me, and if you catch me, I'll give you some!"

Wei Han grabbed the bag and ran away immediately, and the dog, seeing its owner run away, immediately chased after her.

The girl and dog started chasing each other across the grass again, until Wei Han was tired and sat down to open
a box of dog food. The dog immediately lay down beside her, eating the food placed on the grass. Its previously damp fur
had become fluffy again. Wei Han poured some dog food on the grass, watching the dog eat, smiling as she stroked its fluffy fur
.

"She's a kind child,"

Hu Jianxing said with a sigh, looking at the girl and dog in the distance. In fact, he also felt guilty.
If he hadn't given the medicine to Xia Lanqin, he wouldn't have hurt that girl who always had a smile on her face.

Zhao Xingwei didn't speak, but his gaze towards Wei Han softened.

He remembered asking her that day why she was willing to forgive him, and he remembered what she said.

"You and I are both victims of a conspiracy. Should I blame you for being forced to have a relationship with your niece?
Or should I blame my aunt for having such a strange obsession? But even if I blame you and hate you, what good will it
do? After the hatred subsides, what's done is done. I've cried, I've made a scene, and I've almost collapsed, but now when I open my eyes
, I realize the earth is still turning, and life goes on day by day. Forget it, I might as well let go. I'm happy
to be at ease. Anyway, the important thing now isn't to assign blame, but to resolve the issue."

She stopped crying and making a scene. In fact, she hadn't cried since that day. She spent
a week, and after her period returned to normal, she regained her cheerfulness.

They saw the Xia Weihan of the past, but Zhao Xingwei feared that a shadow had been left deep in her heart.
So he decided to arrange surgery as soon as she fully recovered.

Xia Lanqin noticed that Zhao Xingwei and Hu Jianxing had somehow appeared beside her and immediately stood up.
She wouldn't forget her husband's anger that day; she had been living in constant fear ever since. Even Hu Jianxing, who had always supported her,
had some reservations about this, making her unable to look them in the eye.

"Lanqin, Weihan is just a child. She's very innocent and wouldn't hate anyone
. Don't hurt her anymore,"

Hu Jianxing said with a sigh, his words earnest compared to Zhao Xingwei's indifference. This time,
he only knew that Zhao Xingwei was keeping quiet about the matter out of guilt towards Weihan, but that didn't mean he would forget it.

Before Xia Lanqin could speak, a jet of water drenched all three of them. They all looked towards
the source . There was Weihan, holding a hose, staring in astonishment at the three of them, now soaked to the bone. She thought the hose
was off, but when she picked it up, she realized it was still on, and she hadn't
noticed .

"I swear, I didn't mean to!"

Weihan immediately dropped the hose and held her right hand high to her face. She genuinely wanted to
apologize , but the three adults looked even more bewildered than she was, their expressions remaining comical.
With those wretched water droplets still dripping from their hair, Wei Han couldn't hold back her laughter any longer.

"Um... hahaha, I really... haha, I really didn't mean to... cough cough, hahaha...
"

Their posture remained unchanged, causing Wei Han to squat down, clutching her stomach with laughter. She pointed a finger
at them , shaking it incessantly, almost pounding the grass.

"Um, do you want to wipe yourselves off? Cough cough, hehehe, at least the weather, hehehe, isn't too
cold."

The three of them, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly left.

When Zhao Xingwei turned around and glanced back, he saw Wei Han once again laughing heartily without a trace of guile.
