Author : I changed Yong name to Hannah, I totally forgot she's not Chinese but American. She's the daughter of Mum Ella's elder sister. 🤭

When Zhan grew tired of sulking and realized it would only harm him further, he decided to let go of his frustrations and move forward. He took a refreshing shower, dressed in a comfortable shirt and trousers, and headed to the kitchen. There, he prepared a simple meal for himself and sat at the dining table to eat. Bei soon joined him, dressed in a long flowing gown, and said, "I'm hungry too. I'll join you."

Bei called out to Fang, "Bring me something to eat. I'm really hungry."

As they ate, Bei started a lively conversation, as was her habit. She was the one who always initiated discussions and lightened the mood, filling the silence with chatter. After finishing their meal, they moved to the living room, continuing their conversation. Granny stayed in her room that day, immersed in reading instead of joining them.

Later in the evening, Sarah arrived with some files for Zhan to review and sign. As Zhan focused on the paperwork, Sarah provided updates about pending office tasks. She wanted to inform him that Sen Nan had returned to work despite speculation that he would resign. However, seeing Bei there made her hesitate. Since Zhan was now considered part of their family, discussing another person didn't seem appropriate. She decided to save the news for when they were back at the office.

Zhan was engrossed in his work, appreciating the peace and quiet it provided. For him, work was the only activity that allowed him to concentrate without interruptions or noise. Bei, noticing his focus, left him and joined Fang in the kitchen, helping prepare dinner-a task she often enjoyed as she loved cooking.

After some time, Zhan completed the review of Sarah's documents. They had dinner together before Sarah prepared to leave. Zhan escorted her to the gate, handing her money to take a taxi home. Just as he turned to head back inside, he spotted Hannah approaching. Without a word, Zhan quickly walked past her, avoiding a conversation he wasn't in the mood for.

Once in his room, Zhan took a shower and prepared for bed. He could still hear Bei chatting in the other room, with Hannah lingering in the wing.

The following day, Zhan continued working on some documents Sarah had brought. What started as occasional tasks gradually became a full workload, almost as if his office duties had shifted to his home. Sarah frequently moved between the office and Zhan's residence, delivering updates and files. Observing how focused and calm Zhan was while working, Granny mentioned to Wang Dad that Zhan seemed to find comfort in his work. Although she didn't particularly like the idea of Zhan returning to the office, she eventually agreed it might be for the best. However, Granny doubted Yibo would approve, given that Zhan was now his husband and the company practically belonged to him, as Yibo owned the majority of the shares.

To Granny's surprise, when Wang Dad brought up the matter with Yibo, he agreed without hesitation, saying Zhan should be allowed to return. Yibo seemed uninterested in discussing anything related to their marriage, focusing instead on his work and usual routine. The only time he remembered Zhan was during occasional calls with Granny, when the topic of their marriage was briefly mentioned.

For Zhan, returning to work became a way to move past the marriage entirely. With Wang Dad purchasing a brand-new car for him, he now worked with peace of mind and without worrying about family pressures or taunts regarding his marriage. Even Grandma and his Uncle, who once criticized his single status, now treated him with care and affection, attempting to coax him into staying in the marriage.

At the office, Zhan's prominence grew. His new status as Yibo's spouse and the knowledge that Yibo held 60% of the company's shares earned him respect from everyone. Even Sen Nan, whose behavior remained erratic, couldn't stir Zhan. Though Sen Nan tried to provoke him during meetings with comments or lingering stares, Zhan ignored him completely. His indifference wasn't new-Sen Nan had always known Zhan's nature of staying composed and unresponsive to drama.
