The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

At 9:30 p.m., the villa in Yunyuan, the most upscale residential area in Haicheng, was bustling with activity. Everyone present smiled as they watched Ye Linyuan get off the truck.

"Dad, I'm home!"

"My dear son, I've missed you so much! It's so good to be back. You've suffered so much these past four years abroad."

Looking at his son, who had grown tall and handsome, Ye Xiao couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He reached out and patted Ye Linyuan's shoulder, his voice choked with emotion.

"You heartless brat, you've been abroad for four years and haven't come back to see your old man."

"Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll never leave again."

Seeing Ye Xiao's face, which had aged considerably, and even the few gray hairs that had appeared among his once jet-black hair, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but tear up.

Although they are not related by blood, their relationship is even better than that of a biological father and son!

Once Ye Xiao and Ye Linyuan had calmed down a bit, Ye Qingyan, the president of the Ye Group and the eldest daughter of the Ye family, could no longer contain herself. She grabbed Ye Linyuan's head and hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.

Feeling the familiar scent and sensation in her arms, Ye Qingyan could no longer hold back, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Waaaaah, that's great, that's really great! My sweet baby is finally back, waaaaah..."

Ye Qingxin, the second sister, and Ye Qingcheng, the third sister, who were originally preparing to queue up, were already excited. But when Ye Qingyan cried, their already restless hearts could no longer be restrained, and they went forward and hugged the two of them.

Ye Xi and Ye Xin, who had followed Ye Linyuan back with him, exchanged a glance and stepped forward simultaneously. In an instant, the five women and one man hugged each other and burst into tears.

Ye Xiao, who had gradually calmed down, was suddenly overcome with emotion upon seeing the scene before him. He couldn't help but raise his head and stare blankly at the starry sky above.

Four years have passed, and finally, I'm finally home...

Xiaoxiao, if you have a spirit in heaven, please bless our precious son and daughter, and may they be happy for the rest of their lives...

Just as the Ye family was venting their emotions in a long-awaited reunion, at the same time, on the other side of Haicheng, in a villa in Jinlan Bay, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The maid and the butler had returned to their room early and dared not show their faces. They only dared to press their ears to the door to listen to the sounds in the living room, while watching the chat group of the green bubble group that only had the butler and the maid.

Maid A: Miss is angry again. It seems this time it's towards Master. I don't know why Miss doesn't like Master. He's handsome, considerate, gentle, and devoted to Miss... (confused expression, confused expression, confused expression)

Maid B: Who knows? Maybe Miss doesn't like Master at all. Feelings are unpredictable. (Sighs)

Maid C: That can't be right. If Miss doesn't like Master, why get married? (Confused expression)

Butler: Ahem, ahem, this isn't something you can pry into. There are plenty of marriages in wealthy families that are just for show; most of them are just living separate lives, like the master and mistress. Very few are truly in love. (awkward expression)

Maid A: Old Li (butler), how did you know? I don't know about other wealthy couples, but I think Miss and Master are a match made in heaven. Miss is strong and domineering, and Master is gentle and considerate. They are very well-matched. If you ask me, this is just a quarrel between the young couple. Maybe they will be fine in a while. (Drooling emoji)

Butler: It's hard to say. I've been taking care of Miss for three years, and this is the first time I've seen her so angry. I don't know why she's angry. From my perspective as someone who's been through this, this might really be difficult to resolve.

Whether it was because of the butler's words or not, all the maids in the room couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh inwardly.

Easy, high-paying jobs may soon be a thing of the past...

For a moment, the entire villa was eerily quiet. In the huge living room, only Su Shiyu sat on the sofa, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Zhao Jinyan, who looked aggrieved, not far away.

After a long while, Su Shiyu suppressed her anger and slowly spoke, but her tone was so cold that it could freeze the air.

"Zhao Jinyan, I'll say it again, this marriage must end in divorce! I'm free next Monday morning, we'll call you, and you'll come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately to get a divorce. From now on, we'll have absolutely no connection!"

hiss!

The maid and butler, who were eavesdropping, couldn't help but gasp and simultaneously posted in the Green Bubble group chat.

Maid B: What happened? This has actually escalated to the point of divorce? Did the lady cheat on me? (Panic-looking expression)

Butler: That can't be right. Although Miss has a terrible temper, she has always kept a considerable distance from men. All her friends are women. I wouldn't be surprised if someone said that Miss likes women.

Maid A: So, the master cheated on his wife and was caught red-handed by the young lady! (Confident expression)

Maid C: No way! I see that the master's heart is completely devoted to the young lady, how could he possibly cheat on her? (Looking puzzled)

Maid A: Who knows? As the old saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Maybe this gentleman is the kind of person who looks respectable on the surface but is actually a scoundrel! (Confident expression)

Butler: @MaidA *cough cough*, this is a personal attack, it's not good if we get caught.

Maid A: What? I was just guessing. Anyway, I don't believe that Miss would cheat on me.

At the same time, in the living room, upon suddenly hearing Su Shiyu's insistence on divorce, Zhao Jinyan trembled and looked up at Su Shiyu with disbelief on his face.

"Shiyu, why, why do you still want a divorce? Didn't you see that man with those beautiful twins today? Wake up! He abandoned you four years ago, and even if he comes back now, he won't choose you!"

Perhaps realizing that her words had been too harsh, Zhao Jinyan softened her tone and continued.

"What's so good about that man? Is he as gentle as I am? Does he understand you as well as I do? Will he cook you a hangover soup no matter how late it is when you're drunk? Will he specially study cooking and medicinal cuisine to prevent your stomach problems from recurring? Will he wait for you every night, no matter how late you come home, just to see you safe and sound?!"

"Shiyu, there is no one in this world who loves you more than me. As long as you break up with that man, we can live a good life together from now on, okay? I believe that as long as we spend more time together, your misogyny will definitely be cured. Trust me, my wife."

Su Shiyu was already extremely irritated because of the Ye family's twins' taunts earlier that day. When she heard Zhao Jinyan call her "wife," it was as if she had been provoked. She suddenly smashed a wine glass on the coffee table onto Zhao Jinyan's head, and the red wine mixed with blood instantly stained his high-end suit worth tens of thousands of yuan red.

"Zhao Jinyan, who gave you permission to call me 'wife'! The only one who has ever had the right to call me that has always been A Yuan! You're just a bastard who forced me to marry you using the token!"

"If it weren't for you back then, A-Yuan and I would have been together long ago, and we'd definitely have our own child by now!"

"It's all your fault! You ruined my marriage with Ayuan!"

At this moment, Su Shiyu's voice was no longer as cold and arrogant as usual; it was filled with disgust and anger. Although her pretty face was pale, her eyes were so red that they looked like they were about to drip blood. If murder were not illegal, she would have personally tortured Zhao Jinyan to death by a thousand cuts!

Seeing Su Shiyu like this, Zhao Jinyan couldn't help but take a few steps back and fall to the ground, his face full of fear.

"Shi...Shiyu, how...how could you..."

Su Shiyu slowly got up and walked towards the stairs. Soon, her high heels made a clattering sound on the stairs. When she reached the second floor, she looked down at Zhao Jinyan, who was still sitting on the ground and unable to get up for a moment, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Zhao Jinyan, I'm giving you one last chance. You must sign the divorce agreement tonight, and you must come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau next Monday morning to complete the divorce procedures. Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Shiyu turned and walked towards the master bedroom, not giving Zhao Jinyan a second glance.

Reaching the second floor, Su Shiyu slowly lowered her head and looked down at Zhao Jinyan, her tone becoming indifferent and cold once again.

"I won't be coming back this weekend. I'm going to stay with Ayuan. Pack your bags. I hope I won't see any of your things when I come back on Monday."

boom--

After Su Shiyu closed the master bedroom door, Zhao Jinyan regained his composure, slowly raised his head to look at the master bedroom on the second floor, then at the divorce agreement on the coffee table. After a long silence, he sighed and signed his name on the divorce agreement.

Looking at his and Su Shiyu's names on the divorce agreement, Zhao Jinyan felt a moment of daze. His thoughts seemed to drift back to when they signed their marriage agreement, when their names were also on the same piece of paper...

After a long while, Zhao Jinyan's deep voice rang out in the living room.

"Shiyu, that man will definitely hurt you again, but it's okay. I will wait for you. As long as you are willing to turn back, I will always be waiting for you in the same place. My love for you will not be diminished by anything."

Even if, even if you chose to turn back because you were hurt by that man...

At this moment, the green bubble group chat of the butler and maids had completely exploded.

Maid A: My God, what a shocking revelation! So, it turns out that Miss was forced into marriage by the Master! No wonder Miss has always had a cold face towards the Master.

Maid C: Sir? Bah! This kind of scum doesn't deserve to be called sir. What era are we living in? He's still trying to force marriage. I despise him!

Maid B: Exactly! I used to think this bastard was truly in love with Miss, but now it seems he's only in love with her money and status!

Butler: This is outrageous! I originally thought that Miss was only marrying this bastard because of a business arrangement, but I never expected that he forced her into marriage, especially when she already had someone she liked. As the old saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. This bastard!!!

Maid A: By the way, Lao Li, you were the first one to arrive here. Do you know who Miss is talking about, A Yuan?

Butler: I don't know either. When I arrived, Miss was already about to get married.

Maid C: Oh, I see. I hope the person you like also likes you.

On the other side, Su Shiyu was unaware that even the housekeeper and maids in the villa were speaking up for her. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the walls covered with photos of Ye Linyuan. She subconsciously picked up the photo frame on the bedside table, stroking it as she smiled dreamily.

The photo in the frame showed a man and a woman smiling broadly; one of them was her, and the other was Ye Linyuan, whom she had been longing for for four years.

"Ah Yuan, I know you wanted to break up with me back then because you didn't want to put me in a difficult position. Now don't worry, those old fogies in the Su family won't be able to cause trouble for long. I'm about to completely take control of the Su family. When that happens, I'll propose to you, okay?"

As she spoke, Su Shiyu's lips curled up slightly, but tears fell in a steady stream, blurring the photo frame.

"You said you would always stand in front of me, always and always, and protect me. You said you wouldn't refuse my proposal, right?"

"A-Yuan..."
