When she heard these words, the curve on Xi Xiaye's beautiful face widened. She quietly watched Shen Yue for quite a while, then she slowly got up. "I'll go take a look in the kitchen."

She had just reached the kitchen entrance when she smelled a tempting aroma filling the air. She raised her head slightly and the view of Shen Wenna's narrow back greeted her.

Even though she had passed 50 years of age, Shen Wenna had maintained herself well and she still looked attractive for an aging woman. Appearing rather young, she looked similar to Xi Xiaye. When the mother and daughter stood together, they looked like sisters.

"You're back!"

When she noticed Xiaye standing right behind her, Shen Wenna suddenly turned around. She studied her carefully and in her cold eyes, something shifted.

"Mmm," Xi Xiaye softly answered, then she slowly walked over to wash her hands.

"The school's been on holiday these past few days and your grandpa's less busy too. If you're free, you should come home more often to visit and accompany your grandpa. He's been missing you." Shen Wenna stirred the vegetables in the wok as she said this.

"Got it," Xi Xiaye habitually answered.

While when she heard this, Shen Wenna suddenly frowned slightly. She looked at Xi Xiaye who had turned on the tap beside her and was quietly washing her hands. Helplessly, she sighed on the inside.

Her daughter was so much like her, equally apathetic and stubborn without wanting to admit defeat.

She thought it before turning the tap off and suddenly saying softly."The day before yesterday, he came looking for me."

"Who?" Shen Wenna retrieved her gaze and asked as she stir-fried the hot and sour shredded potato.

Xi Xiaye straightened up and slowly turned over, quietly staring at Shen Wenna's slim back. She fell silent for a long while and then said calmly, "Father..."

When she heard her daughter, Shen Wenna's body momentarily stiffened. Her movements stopped abruptly too as if some kind of motor in her was halted.

"He said that Friday is Xi Xinyi and Han Yifeng's engagement ceremony, so he wants me to attend and he even said that Grandfather's health is worsening..."

...

"Whatever you decide, I won't stop you."

A while after, Shen Wenna suddenly turned around, her slightly dim eyes gazing at Xi Xiaye. "Xiaye, the thing between your father and I happened only because we didn't know how to manage our marriage well, but this doesn't apply to everyone. No matter what, don't give up the right to fight for your happiness. You're a smart child. You should know what I mean."

Xi Xiaye fell silent for quite a while, then she nodded. "I got it."

Shen Wenna sighed softly and fell silent for a moment. Then, she continued, "I can see that Mu Yuchen's a pretty kind person. As for Han Yifeng, just forget him. No matter how many storms you've gone through together, when a new relationship surfaces, we have to believe in it. As strong as we can be, we're just women... If there's a pretty sweet person who's willing to give you love and care, why don't we accept it sincerely?"

As she listened, Xi Xiaye suddenly felt a mix of emotions swell in her chest and she looked at Shen Wenna. She longed to ask her since she knew this principle, why had she been all by herself all these years?
